About: I have a patiences and love for animals! I am very comfortable walking, grooming, and loving all types of pets. I have worked with dogs (puppies and seniors), reptiles, fish and cats. I have a lot of availability during the day. I do not work a traditional 9-5 job and have flexibility to focus on your pets. I focus on the safety and joy of your pet! I will follow any requests for your animal and your home. I have one dog and three cats to keep all pets company but all are easily blocked off if any animals are overwhelmed.

About: I've always loved dogs. I've spent three years working at a dog shelter as office manager, intake person which includes giving oral and injection medications, adoption coordinator, feeding and watering, cleaning, and socializing. I'm available during the week after 5:30pm. Weekends are open. I volunteer at the local dog shelter but need a little something more to fill my need to spend time with animals. I enjoy nature walks and stop as often as the dogs do to look at things. :) My schedule is flexible. When I am with dogs, it is sometimes hard to draw my attention away from them because they are so very loving and giving. I like to give that back to them.

About: I will love and cherish your fur baby as my own. More scratches and pets than they could hope for. And plenty of roaming time for refreshment 🫶🏼 I am happy to help where and how I can as I understand the parental worry of being away all day. I am currently home for the summer as an adjunct instructor. My daughter continues daycare full-time Monday-Friday, with the exception of random hookie days. But I am always available and very flexible! I don’t disrespect my own home, I would never do it to yours. I am a renter and unable to bring furbabies for play dates but would happily spend the day with your fur baby as well as tidying up or washing a couple dishes.

About: With over 10 years of experience dog sitting and house sitting for family and friends, I treat every pup like part of the family.🐶I may not have a dog of my own right now, but that just means your furry friend gets all my attention and love! Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or just being a comforting presence, I’m here to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.💛 Since I work remotely, I can turn any home into my “office” - which means your pups get company and care all day long!🐾From weekday fetch breaks to weekend adventures, I’m available when they need me. I’m happy to stay at your home so your pets can stick to their routine, and I’m totally up for long-term stays too. More time together just means more tail wags, more belly rubs, and more happy pups!🐶💜 I care for your pets right in their own home so they can stick to their favorite routines -whether that’s morning zoomies, afternoon naps in a sunny spot, or evening belly rubs.🐾Being in their familiar space keeps stress low and tails wagging. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles, and I’ll keep your home tidy so you return to both happy pets and a happy house. 🐶🏠🪴

About: I’ve taken care of other animals since I was 6. I had multiple dogs and cats growing up that I helped care for daily. I have dog-sat and cat-sat for family and friends whenever needed. I now have a growing kitten that I’ve been caring for over the last year. I’m currently a 4th grade teacher in Owatonna and am looking to add a part-time job to keep me busy on the weekends and during vacations from school. I’m very free during the week, on weekends, and after school days. I’m willing to spend as much time with pets as needed and show them human compassion. Whether it is going on walks, getting belly rubs, or receiving treats for doing their best. I believe pets should be shown with the same love they show their humans.

About: An animal lover since before I could walk, I have a special spot in my heart for dogs. I am willing to work with all breeds, but request you are upfront with the level of training that your dog currently has. I'm available between 7am and 7pm most days. I request a 3 day notice so I can ensure to get your loved one on the schedule. Dependent on the reactivity and level of training of your dog; walks may include sidewalks, trails, or nature preserve. Dependent on weather, I may decline a walk if temperatures are too extreme for your pet.

About: I have 5 amazing dogs of my own, 1 pitbull, 2 American Eskimo mini and 2 Pomeranians. I had 2 liter of puppies from my dogs (1st liter was 10 pups, 2nd liter was 5 pups) and was able to raise them well for their furever home. I run a lot, so if your dog needs to exercise, you can count me in. Or simply needs a rest day, or any kind of special needs, I’m your girl. I work full time and have my own babies to care for, but I’m a super dog mom so I’m pretty flexible and prepared for anything. With my own experiences of owning 5 dogs, and raising 15 puppies, I feel like that should speak for itself. I do have a fenced in yard, I love dogs and I want them to be happy while they're with me or their own homes.
