About: I work with all kinds of breeds and behavioral levels involving large and small dogs. I have experience working with dogs that are trained working dogs and personal protection. I take my work very serious when it comes to safety. I am certified through animal behavioral college as a dog trainer along with certified in canine and equine massage therapy. I run my business from home so I am able to make my schedule very flexible. I am very easy to work with providing open communication if changes need to be made for my clients so they feel reassured choosing me to care for their pets. All pets must be up-to-date on vaccinations and a copy of vaccinations must be brought at time of appointment emergency contact lists must also be left with pets. I am also in Netwerk with local vet clinics in case of any emergencies. Any animals with special needs must be listed before time of drop off, and any specific dietary restrictions must be listed along with daily care, schedules set by owners with their pets to have during their care.

About: ​I have been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, learning from a young age exactly what it takes to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether your fur baby needs a high-energy walk, a strict feeding schedule followed, or just some dedicated cuddle time, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm incredibly attentive to their body language and daily routines to ensure they feel right at home. Im currently working a part time job at the hospital so I have plenty of time for your furry friends!! Im available at any time!! I live in an apartment with two of my own fur babies. I have a huge yard out front and back and live in a nice community area good for walking dogs. My apartment is very spacious for any animals coming over and my cats are very friendly and adapted to all types of animals.

About: I have had a dog since middle school. I had a standard poodle, and now my family has a golden retriever. I have lived with roommates in college with a chocolate lab and a rescue puppy. I am currently in my hometown for the summer months and looking to earn a little money before grad school. I love dogs and have a lot of experience with a multitude of different dogs due to family, roommates, and friends. I love to go on walks and understand the stress it causes owners to be away from home so long without being able to take their pet out to use the bathroom/walk. I would love to help in that regard! I will have respect for your home and dog’s/your safety. I prefer instructions so I can meet all your requests! Obviously there is a lot of trust needed for this type of work and I want to make sure to respect that.

About: I’m an animal lover with 3 amazing dogs of my own. I’ve had dogs for 14 years and they’ve spent the whole time spoiled, and I’d love to do the same for yours! I have 10 acres of farmland and a large home with lots of space for your pet to roam and have fun and play! Your pet will be well cared for and loved, played with and treated as one of the family! I love all different breeds and sizes of dogs, so no matter what dog you have big or small they’ll be welcome with us! I’ve been around dogs of all sizes before, so I know how to cuddle the little ones and handle the big guys! I’m also an approved foster for a local rescue, so I’m used to having all kinds of furry friends coming in and out of my home. I have experience with shy animals and know how to help a scared pup settle in and feel safe. I hope you’ll trust me to care for your special furry friend! My husband and I work only a few days a week on opposite schedules, so we’re almost always available to be home playing and snuggling our furry friends! We love dogs, so it’s a priority in our days to spend time with them. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs on their level. I’ve worked with extremely under socialized animals, and also dogs that need to be kept separated from other animals, so I have the space to make sure every dog is comfortable during their stay.

“Abby does a great job!”

About: When I was little I used to rescue dogs from the street and take them home to bathe them and feed them. My mom helped me find them a house or sometimes we stayed with them. I know the importance and respect they deserve. I work and take care of my house, currently I don't have any time to invest in anything other than that. That's why I'm currently quitting my job to try something more different. I will only walk dogs, I live in an apartment so for the moment no animals can enter. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

About: I bring two years of vet tech schooling and a genuine love for dogs and cats, offering safe, attentive, knowledgeable care that keeps every pet relaxed and happy. I'm currently working part time so I have lots of free time to care for your furry loved ones. My availability is pretty flexible for the summer :) I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who is friendly and crate trained. I’m attentive to noise, stimulation, and comfort, especially for pets who may be anxious in new environments.

About: Guaranteeing love, attention, and compassion when you need to step away from home regardless for length of time or reason. I am highly dedicated to my families and their furry family members. I add a touch of difference with the care I provide to all of the animals I work with in that I treat each one individually and never work in a "cookie cutter" approach. I started working with and training animals (horses and dogs) at the age of fifteen. Throughout the years, my interest and passion with animals grew, as well as my experience. I currently have two dogs, a german shepherd and a very entertaining rescue mix. With my german shepherd, we are a K9 team with a search and rescue organization where we are called upon by law enforcement only for people who go lost or missing throught the upper Midwest. I still currently train dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, in addition to training service dogs through an individually owned local business. Due to my long-term experience, I am able to adapt to your pets' individual needs with age, both young and old. I am trained in pet first-aid and CPR, and I am comfortable with any prescribed medical care needs you may have necessary for them. I truly enjoy building a sincere bond and connection with each family I encounter so that when they step away, they can feel at ease and enjoy their time without distress or worry. Topnotch care is my priority! I have decided after many years of working in family care industries, that my remaining years, I want to follow what was my childhood dream. Working with animals, yet still getting to keep my other passion, family care. I couldn't ask for a better combination. With my many years of experience, I always adapt my care to each of my pets needs. As I previously had mentioned I don't believe in "cookie cutter care" approach. I tailor my care to each pets individual needs and concerns.

About: I have been helping my friends and family take care of their fur babies, I love animals and take care of them as if they’re my own family member. I’m a stay at home mom that is willing and able to help others when I am available. We enjoy being outside any kind of weather. My home is set up for taking good care of any dog. I have a good system to take care of any dog. If they have a lot of energy, I have a pup that loves to play, but can seem aggressive when someone new is in her territory, but warms up quickly. I’m a very active person myself and get outside no matter the weather!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have hosted over 30 foster dogs for our local Humane Society. Some of our foster mamas have even given birth to their puppies at our home. I currently have a wonderful golden retriever, Mya, who is always happy to meet new friends. Mya and I enjoy hiking, camping, and spending as much time outside as possible. I have a horse (not on the property) and have had a variety of pets over the years including rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, chickens and sheep. I have a passion for animals and take pride in providing them with the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I am currently home full-time so your pet will never be left alone overnight or for long periods of time. Frequent potty breaks, walks and playtime are always readily available. Please note: Monday-Thursday drop off & pick up must be scheduled between 5:30-7:30pm. Friday-Sunday pick up & drop off times are flexible. I have a large indoor play area so they can burn off energy no matter the weather. My Golden, Mya, makes an excellent welcoming comity and she is always thrilled to meet new friends. I can easily crate your pet if needed. We are located on a quiet street with a culdesac, perfect for safe walks. We have 2 acres for your babies to play. If pet parents are comfortable with field trips, our guests are welcome to join us for walks at local parks. Guaranteed they will go home happy and tired!

“Amazing! Loved my dog like she was her own! Took her on long walks and provided excellent care.”

About: I have dog sat for numerous family friends for afternoons, weekends, or an occasional walk. I have also had some dogs of my own that are my world! I would love to give love to your furry friends when you are away! I am currently a college student, so I have a very flexible schedule everyday. Also my weekends are typically free to help out with your pups! I always give plenty of pets and attention to all animals. Making sure they are well fed and hydrated is a must, with plenty of treats mixed into that as well!

“Kelsey, is amazing and how she is working with Latte is truly wonderful. Latte is a barker since she has started walking 2 times a week Kelsey her barking is getting so much better even though Latte still barks at Kelsey when she knows it is time for her walk she is wagging her tail and body so I think she really likes Kelsey and so do I”

About: I have 2 kittens of my own, and I have grown up with dogs my whole life! I’ve also dog sat and walked for my family for a few years. I currently work full time 3 days a week and part time the other two. My schedule is completely flexible at the moment! Just let me know and we’ll make something work! :) I’m dependable, respectful, and trustworthy. I have experience and I make sure all the animals are walked, fed, played with, loved on, and given all the pettings!

About: Since day one, I have always had a dog in my life. A cat in my adult years and a few other critters throughout the years. They are all family! All my dogs have always been a big part of my life and I care for them deeply. Family/Friends have trusted me to care for their pets when needed. I am always happy to lend a helping hand, or a lap to cuddle on, an arm to throw a ball, or even lacing up those tennis shoes for a walk. I currently have a “teenager” (6 year American Staffordshire Terrier… major cuddles, playful, very sensitive stomach) and recently our senior Luna past over the rainbow bridge. I am patient and have energy for any requirement you may need while your babies are in my care. Working from home, I am quite flexible most days. I am an early riser and stay up late. So feedings, playtime, bathroom breaks, etc is not an issue for me. We have 5 acres of unfenced land to run around in. I also have a very large fenced Garden the dogs are allowed to roam in for off leash fun, as well as a sizeable wrap around deck to chill on and soak up the sun. We are outdoor people, so are our dog(s), so if it’s nice, you will find us out and about. With our training they do well to stay within our property and listen well if running around the yard. Communicate if your dog(s) need to be leashed (also have a leash line setup between trees to enjoy the outdoors as well). I would hope in any environment that your pets are trained and do well in the space provided or within, please communicate any special concerns, etc. I do have experience with “shock” collars for more so the ‘tone’ button, as we have wildlife and woods surrounding our house, we use this to protect our dogs from our surroundings periodically throughout the year. So I am comfortable using this method to ensure your pups stay safe.

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie—an animal care professional with 13+ years of hands-on experience and a lifelong passion for creating safe, enriching, and loving environments for animals of all kinds. My journey has taken me from the wilderness of Alaska*, where I raised and cared for a team of Alaskan Husky sled dogs, to leadership roles in animal welfare—working my way up to Operations and CSR Lead at an animal shelter, while also serving as a Client Experience Coordinator at a busy animal emergency hospital. In early 2025, I proudly founded my own rescue, Pawsitive Tales Rescue, where I continue to advocate for and care for vulnerable animals in need. Animals aren’t just my career—they’re my life. Whether I’m caring for playful puppies, senior dogs, shy cats, or medical-needs pets, I bring patience, experience, and genuine compassion to every animal I meet. My background in shelter medicine, emergency veterinary care, rescue work, and behavior gives me the confidence to care for pets with a wide variety of personalities and needs. When I’m not working, you’ll find me outdoors adventuring with my retired sled dogs and my corgi—usually hiking, exploring, or chasing the next view. The mountains have my soul, but my heart belongs to every kitty and pup I’ve had the privilege to love. If you’re looking for someone experienced, dependable, and deeply passionate about animal welfare, your pets will be in caring and capable hands with me. I can’t wait to meet your furry family. 🐾 I’m currently working part-time at the local animal shelter and part-time as an animal care taker. In addition, I have six of my own dogs and two cats. It’s dogs and cats from the moment I wake up until I go to bed! I have a fenced in yard where your pup can run and stretch their legs as much as they want! All of my dogs are friendly and social and my cats are dog savvy. You’re pets will be treated with the best care possible - I’ll treat them as if they’re my own.

About: I grew up having dogs my whole life- both large and small. I have a home with my mini schnauzer, Gus, in Sartell. I am responsible and caring! I am willing to care for as many pets as needed. If you have any questions please ask! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Thank you for your time! :) I work full time, but enjoy coming home to my pet on my lunch to snuggle. I also love taking my dog for long walks morning and evening! Another pet would fit in perfectly! I care for all pets as if they are my own. I also am available to help with pet care for weddings and other events! I care for other pets as I would my own! I understand how stressful it can be for dogs to be away from their paw-rents so I try to ensure they are safe and happy as can be!

About: Hi! My name is Rachel, and I’m based in the Saint Cloud area while attending the College of Saint Benedict. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have a sweet 1-year-old Maltese mix puppy named Crunch, and before him, I had another Maltese who was a beloved part of my family for nearly 12 years. I’m currently on a pre-vet track with the goal of attending veterinary school in the future. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets—whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, or just keeping them company while they're away. I also volunteer at the local humane society, where I’ve gained valuable experience with dog walking and general animal care. On top of that, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to do veterinary work abroad, further strengthening my skills and passion for animal health and well-being. I have plenty of free time during the summer, which allows me to offer flexible and consistent care throughout the week—whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. During the school year, I’m still available most evenings and weekends for pet care. In a client’s home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, regular walks, fresh water, and lots of play or cuddle time, depending on their needs and personality. I also take the time to follow any specific routines or instructions you provide.
