Pet care experience

Loving Pet Sitter/Dog Walker | MPLS

Experienced & attentive pet sitter with over 18 years experience caring for animals. I'd love to snuggle, walk and play with your fur baby while you're away! I work mostly remotely and have flexible availability throughout the day/week to play, go for long walks, and host overnight stays. I have experience caring for senior pets (both cats and dogs) who may need some extra care like medications, extra potty breaks, mobility support or extra love for separation anxiety. I'm super comfortable with large breeds or high-energy pups, so whether they are 10lbs or 100lbs, they're in good hands!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 02, 2026

Karen and Ryan were fantastic caregivers for our senior dog, Kurt. Great communication before and during the visit. Beautiful home with a wonderful fenced yard. Super flexible with drop off and pick up times. Very friendly and professional. Kurt loved his three days with them. I highly recommend Karen and Ryan for your pet-sitting needs in Minneapolis.

Karen was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly kind and took great care of my dog. Her communication was 10/10, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again without hesitation.

Karen was so great when she watched my two dogs for the day. She is very communicative, has a welcoming space, and the dogs came home happy and tired. I would certainly rebook again.

Safety, trust & environment

live in a pet-friendly home with plenty of space, and a large fenced in yard for potty breaks and play time. No kids or other pets, just lots of love and attention for yours! I'm comfortable walking up to 2 leash-trained dogs at a time and have experience with all kinds of energy levels. For Cats: Due to my husband's allergy, I’m not able to host them in my home—but I’m more than happy to stop by yours for visits! I’ll clean litter boxes, refresh food and water, and offer all the cuddle and play time they’ll allow. You’ll receive regular photo and text updates while you’re away, and I’m happy to help with little extras like grabbing the mail or watering plants so you can truly relax on your vacay know your pet is in good hands!

A typical day

My husband and I both love playing and snuggling with dogs. We play fetch, go on long walks and will help reinforce good manners like no begging, staying off furniture, (if required by owners) crate training and basic commands.

It’s helpful for me to know any behavioral issues or special needs your pet(s) may have so we can make sure they are accommodated. We want to make sure your pet(s) are happy and comfortable while in our care, so anything you would do for them, we want to follow suit.
