Dog Sitting Minnetonka

“Samantha has been taking care of this little fur family in various forms for a couple years now. I always feel confident that she is making sure they are getting what is needed and all the snuggles. Thank you!”

“Regina was fantastic! I had never used a sitter before, and she made the process so simple and easy. Her daily reports gave me the confidence that my cat was in great hands while I was gone. I will 100% use her again on future trips!”

About: If you’re looking for someone dependable to drop in on your pup or take them out for some fresh air and exercise, I am here to help! Working from home gives me the unique ability to step away and dedicate my full attention to walking, check-in services, and boarding for your furry family members. Dogs have been the center of my family's world since we got our first puppy 25 years ago. After our beloved 14-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback passed away in January 2026, we realized just how much we missed the routine of caring for a dog. I love interacting with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Through fostering numerous puppies, I have mastered the art of leash training and high-energy play. Furthermore, because our own dog was deaf and lived to a ripe old age, we are uniquely equipped to provide gentle, specialized care for elderly or disabled dogs during drop-ins, walks, and some boarding. I promise to bring peace of mind with plenty of updates and love! Working from home full-time Monday through Friday gives me incredible flexibility throughout the week. Because my desk is just a few steps away, I am able to seamlessly structure my day around your dog's needs—taking regular, dedicated breaks to provide refreshing neighborhood walks, interactive playtime, and frequent outdoor potty rests. Your pup will enjoy consistent companionship and routine care without me ever having to leave the house for an office commute. I live in a rambler with a walk-out basement and a large yard. We live near a couple of parks, and I love taking the dogs for walks.

“Cari-Ana has been extremely helpful and patient with my dog. He is very nervous, and she was gentle and patient with him. I feel extremely confident leaving my dog in her care! She is knowledgeable, caring, and great to work with!”

About: We have had dogs our entire lives. We have been fostering for Underdog Rescue for the past nine years and have experience with both little puppies and senior dogs. We have a house in the Minnetonka/Hopkins area and have a large fenced in backyard that your dog would enjoy! We always hate being away from our dogs, so we know how important their care is while you're away! I currently work from home, so I’ll be able to give your pups plenty of attention throughout the day with plenty of potty breaks and playtime in the backyard yard. We have a large, fenced-in backyard and currently have three small dogs, two senior Shih Tzus and a 1 year old Pekingese. We also foster dogs through Underdog Rescue, and two of our dogs are foster fails! 🐶

About: I’ve been my neighborhoods designated dog sitter since I was 12 years old! I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have two large, energetic rescue dogs of my own. I have hands-on experience with bully breeds, large and strong dogs, puppies, multi-dog households, crate training, leash manners, enrichment, basic grooming, and administering routine medications and supplements. I’m especially comfortable with active dogs and dogs with big personalities! I understand that every dog has different needs, boundaries, routines, and ways of communicating, and I’m happy to follow the training and structure you already use at home. I love walks, hiking, enrichment activities, playtime, and plenty of couch cuddles. I’m also comfortable with basic bathing and grooming, including dogs who need a little extra patience with baths. Safety is extremely important to me. I pay close attention to dog body language, introduce dogs carefully, separate dogs for meals and high-value treats when appropriate, and never assume that what works for one dog will work for another. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while they’re with me. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time with the dogs in my care. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, as well as daycare and boarding for dog-friendly dogs in my home. I have two dogs of my own, so caring for dogs, getting outside, and fitting plenty of play and enrichment into my day is already part of my normal routine! Safety and comfort are always my priority. I have two friendly, social dogs of my own, and I require a meet-and-greet before boarding or daycare to make sure everyone is comfortable together. I carefully supervise introductions and play, and I separate dogs for meals, chews, and other high-value items when needed. I have a large yard with an invisible fence that my own dogs use, but visiting dogs will always be physically secured outside with a leash or long line. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, crate schedule, feeding instructions, medications, and house rules. Dogs are always welcome on my furniture and beds unless you prefer otherwise!

“Jeff did a very nice job caring for my older Persian cats while I was gone for over a week. He was consistent about feeding them, updating us with pictures and keeping their litter box clean. I will use him again!”

“Camille is amazing. She cared for my rescue (Peanut) while I was away overnight. Peanut has anxiety challenges and Camille calmed her and made her feel safe and comfortable. Camille is: trustworthy, reliable, responsible, just a very good person. I would highly recommend Camille as a care giver for your fur family.”

“Kirsten was absolutely amazing with my cat, Rosie, while I was out of town! She was communicative and reliable the whole way through and sent daily updates/pictures for me. You can tell she clearly cared about providing great care and it was clear from the pictures that my cat adored her! I came home to a happy and relaxed cat and everything was in perfect shape. It’s such a relief finding someone you can trust with your pet and Kirsten was the perfect find. I would book her again in a heartbeat :)”
