Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In McKinley

“Olivia is the absolute best! We were scrambling to find someone after our old dog sitter moved and she is always so patient with our big guy who can sometimes have stranger danger. I would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone that is needing some help with their pup!”

Gabby T.

“Molly did a great job caring for our two cats! She sent us pictures and a message after every visit. She was very quick to respond to our messages and communicated very clearly. She even washed the cat's food dishes when she was all done! We will definitely contact her again in the future.”

“Jessica was so sweet to my pups. She was also on time and so kind. She was flexible and was willing to work around my crazy schedule. I’m so thankful!”

“Teresa did a fantastic job. My cats were happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated the updates during her check-ins, and she even took extra time to sit with my needy cat who really misses getting attention when I'm gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: I am a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for large breeds, especially strong, energetic pups like German Shepherds, Huskies, and other working breeds. I’m comfortable and confident handling dogs who need a calm, steady leader — including those who may be reactive to other dogs, people, or environmental triggers. I also have experience caring for dogs with special medical needs. I have experience applying ointments, eye drops, and administering pills and liquid medicines. I understand that cats have unique personalities and routines, and I’m comfortable with everything from feeding schedules and litter box care to administering medications and giving space to shy or independent cats. I provide calm, attentive care and make sure every pet feels safe, respected, and comfortable in their own home while you’re away. I like to be transparent when I take care of other peoples fur babies and will often share updates via text with added videos and photos of the time I spend with your pet, as well as time stamped detail of feeding, playtime, and potty updates. Pet care is a planned and consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I organize my schedule to ensure I have dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, play, and companionship without feeling rushed. I build in flexibility to accommodate different pet needs, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends when needed. Because I plan my time carefully, I’m able to be reliable, punctual, and fully present for every pet in my care. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. In my client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and medications are handled exactly as instructed. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any behavioral or medical needs. For dogs, I focus on safe, structured walks, positive reinforcement, and calm handling. For cats, I provide attentive care while respecting their boundaries, keeping their environment clean, and offering affection at their comfort level. I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and leave detailed updates so pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Dawn is amazing. She made my dog so happy that he was literally smiling. Dawn arrived to my house at the scheduled times, fed my dog, and played with him. I highly recommend Dawn and am so appreciative of her!”

Kaarina T.

“Julianne is a true angel! We are so grateful for her sweet care of our dog and our cats! She genuinely loves animals and they are very comfortable with her. Even our shy cat who never comes out for anyone, played with her and felt comfortable. She sends us updates with pictures and reassurance that all is well. We are confident knowing that our pets are safe and happy!😊🥰🦮🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛”

About: Before moving to Minnesota I lived with my roommates dog for 4 years. Her dog, Tabby, was a part of our little roomie family and my roommate could rely on me to help out with daily care needs (i.e. watching her when she went on trips, feeding, walking, potty breaks, play time, etc.) I am now missing the presence of a fur baby in my life and would love to opportunity to work with your dog this summer and beyond. I am a kind, caring and responsible individual who you can rely on to treat your dog as if it were my own. I'm currently working part time so I have a fairly flexible schedule. I am free full time for weekend sitting Saturday-Monday. I also am free during the day some Wednesdays and every Friday. I have evening availability every weeknight except Friday. I am happy to abide by any house rules you have for your dog (i.e. furniture rules, crating, etc.) While I can't host dogs in my own home due to landlord restrictions, if I were to come into your home I would treat it as my own and leave it how I found it. I am happy to provide companionship, feeding, walks, or potty breaks depending on your needs.

“Briana has been amazing to my sweet Penelope! They had an instant connection, and Briana has given me peace of mind that P is taken care of during drop in services.”

About: I’m an animal lover at heart. I currently work at a vet clinic as a CSR and have years of experience volunteering at shelters. I grew up with dogs and after fostering many through the Animal Humane Society, finally had a foster fail and met my best friend, Alfie the 7 pound maltipoo. I adore cats, but since Alfie isn’t the biggest fan of them, I don’t have one of my own—which just means that I’d love the chance to love on yours! I have lots of experience dog and cat-sitting for friends when they’re out of town, from daily check-ins all the way up to full house sitting. I currently work at a local vet clinic Monday-Friday, 7am-3pm, and am available most weekends. I live in North Minneapolis but have a car and can travel as needed. I treat your home and yard with the utmost respect and take care with your space and belongings. I realize the trust it takes to welcome someone else into your home and honor that trust by keeping everything neat, clean, safe, and secure.

About: Lifelong pet owner and current dog handler at a doggy daycare/boarding facility looking to meet your pups (and kitties!) and help meet their standards of care! Expirence with many (and I mean a lot!) of breeds, and expirence with human/dog/food/leash reactive dogs of all types and temperments! Im a full time doggy daycare worker and a full time student in psychology but i have a lot of free time and love meeting and helping out with new pets! Saftey, trust, enviorment, and care for me is a top priority. I love befriending pups and making sure I can make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible!

“Sydney was exceptional and very communicative. I had worries about using Rover but she laid those worries to rest. I would definitely use Sydney again!”

Stephen Z.

“It was a great 2 week experience having Crystal drop in on our 3 month old puppy Finn once we went back to work. She was reliable and communicative, always writing a summary of her visit and Finn's activities. She also took a picture or two every day, which, to see a picture of your pup playing with his toys when you're worried if he's doing okay is always very reassuring. It put a smile on my face to see his cute pictures and to know that he was being cared for when I couldn't be there.”

Danielle T.

“Addison was absolutely amazing with Phoebe. She was very thorough in her daily updates and always provided lots of pictures. I have a more anxious cat around people and she was very good at respecting her boundaries and listening to her cues. I would definitely recommend Addison to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets while they are away :)”

About: I have two dogs and a cat. My dogs are 55-60 pounds each. I also have experience pet sitting and house sitting for several close friends. I’m currently not working a FT or PT job. My goal is to do rover solely, so I’m available every day for most of the day. I am very attentive and operations minded which means I’m punctual and organized. I’m also extremely empathetic and loving. I would treat your pets like I treat my own - with respect, divinity, and love. Play times are my favorite so your pets will have plenty of fun time with me. If you’re open to having my dog Marley in your home I can bring him for play dates.
