Pet care experience

Expert dog-sitter, works from home!

Throughout grade school I helped take care of our family’s golden retriever and even taught him a few tricks including how to balance a tennis ball on his nose (he was very talented). More recently I’ve been trusted to watch several of my friend’s dogs while they’ve been out of town. I wouldn’t say I have any special skills, but I work from home and love going for walks/runs, so you definitely don’t have to worry about your dog getting bored with me around!

Schedule

I’m currently working from home in my pet-friendly apartment in Northeast Minneapolis. There are a ton of great walking paths around my place, so I like to get outside as much as I can (with or without four-legged company). I generally have soccer games 2-3 days per week (typically Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday), but I wouldn’t be gone for more than 2-3 hours.

Safety, trust & environment

I do live in a studio apartment which may be a little cramped for larger dogs, but it also means it’s easier for me to keep an eye on them! I also have access to a pet washing station if needed.

A typical day

I love to get outside and take dogs for walks/runs around the several parks near me in NE Minneapolis. I also like to take periodic breaks from work by playing tug-of-war or tossing a ball around my apartment with dogs. I’m also happy to give my best shot at teaching your pet any new tricks (sit, stay, handshake, etc.) if you have any suggestions!
