House Sitting in Minnetonka Mills

“Stephanie was great! I can tell my pet was well cared for and I also came home to a house that was just as clean (if not cleaner) than when I left it. I will happily use her again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of neighbors’, friends’, and families’ pets since high school. I have experience in both daily care (including feeding, walking, playing, and bathing) and overnight care. I love all dogs, big or small, and also have more recent experience with cats. I am comfortable with young dogs as well as old dogs, including administering medications. My love for animals makes pet care one of my favorite experiences! I am currently home for the summer from college and have a pretty flexible schedule. Most weekdays I work for a few hours in the evening (usually around 4-8pm) but have a relatively open schedule otherwise for both weekdays and weekends. My daily experience with pets through my own pet ownership and through nannying families with their own pets ensures that I have the experience needed to meet the needs of all pets throughout the day. I can easily work around a pet’s schedule and prioritize the pet’s needs. I also have a car if any transportation is needed.

“Margaret is fantastic! Very reliable, kept me informed and adapted to my Dog’s high maintenance schedule and needs. It was great to known Lola was loved and given lots of attention”

“Katy did great with Kirby and she sent us updates while staying at our house, which we appreciated. We got lots of pictures which was very reassuring too. We would definitely book Katy for future stays and I think Kirby would be happy to see her again!”

“This was the second longest time I’ve been away from Atlas in 9 years, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Christian was incredible—hands down the most communicative sitter I’ve ever had. I never once felt out of the loop, and his updates gave me total peace of mind. He took amazing care of Atlas and treated the home with the same respect and attention. Coming back, everything felt effortless, like I had never left. If you’re looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and super easy to work with, Christian is the guy. Atlas and I couldn’t recommend him more.”

“Brooke did a great job with our high-energy dog, Isa! Brooke is very knowledgeable about enrichment activities and was both patient and proactive with our dog. Isa can be sensitive while we’re away. It made such a difference that Brooke sent wonderful updates throughout our trip and Isa looked happy and very well cared for. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog!”

About: Hello! My name is Andy, and I have many years of experience loving and taking care of all sorts of animals! Over the years, my family has had a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, fish, and bunnies—and we’ve also watched many, many more than that short-term. We are familiar with many types of animals and feel comfortable following your specific instructions for their care. I love animals of all kinds and will treat your pets lovingly with the care you expect and deserve. Spoiling your pet with a lot of love and personalized attention while keeping them safe and secure are my main goals as your pet sitter. I will be as active or relaxed as your dog needs- anything your dog requires for a safe and happy stay, I will gladly provide. I strive to always carefully follow your instructions. I am an animal advocate with extensive animal handlers and training experience. For many years, I have worked as an animal volunteer and foster parent for animals to be adopted. I have a soft spot for dogs of all kinds, and over the years have personally adopted spaniels, terriers, doodles, shepherds, and cats. I promise to treat your pet as if it is my own, play with it, give it tons of attention and love, and make sure it is fed and comfy while in my care. I have cared for my neighbors and friends pets for the past 30 years. I'm known by all as being a loving pet mom. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s) soon! I am available daily for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I have experience training dogs and working with rescued animals. Our family dogs are rescues and fosters, and they were trained and cared for by me. They are now certified therapy animals. Also, I feel comfortable giving medications and caring for older animals or those with special needs. I have experience working with animals that need extra attention or care due to a rough past or neglect. As their foster mom, my dogs are rescues that came from neglectful situations and had to be nursed back to health. Both have undergone amazing transformations and are happy, healthy, loving, and playful now. I’ve taken care of many very small dogs and understand their specific needs intimately, as my family owns a number of small pets—and I’ve taken care of larger dogs and understand their needs and likes too, as I’ve supervised the maturation and training of several larger dogs. Speaking of training—I’m confident with pets of any level of training! In fact, if anything I’m something of a good influence on untrained animals, owing to my experience training animals over the years. Pets, especially clever pets, love to get a command correct and get a treat for it! As far as more “exotic” pets, I’m comfortable with a lot! I think animals are fascinating and love to meet new ones—even in elementary school I was one of the kids who took care of our class animals, including our snakes (a rainbow boa and a constrictor), and our iguana (aptly named “Iggy”)—so I’m not afraid of interesting animal friends! I’ll gladly watch your peafowl or your domesticated fox or your ferret, and I’ll take care of it like it was my own.

We would love to connect with you at a meet and greet or schedule a play date at a park to get to know you. I'm available every day of the week to walk, house sit, or drop-in on your pets. I enjoy playing with and photographing the animals I care for, giving treats, and reinforcing training. I all love animals and think of our pets as members of our family. We will treat your pet as if they are one of the family too, with much love, cuddles, and stimulating play! I am a photographer and used to work at a pet kennel, but recently moved, so I am available daily for any service you require. I will follow any instructions you leave very carefully, and will communicate with you multiple times daily to let you know how your pets are doing. My schedule is flexible and I'm ready to accommodate your pet care needs, and will send you photos of your happy pet as often as you like! I am currently working from home and am able to dedicate a lot of time to care for your pets!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since i was a teen! I’ve had animals come to my house but now that I drive I mostly go and stay at the animals house. I’ve done drop offs to feed and walk dogs too. I’m experienced in giving medication to animals (pills or liquids) and i’ve worked with elder dogs as well. I had a bunny for 8 years and a childhood dog also. I did just get a new job as an activity coordinator at an elderly home so I do have 8 hour shifts that I will be starting. I am a home body so i’m home quite a bit to keep and eye on the animals. Fenced in yards are nice but i’m very open on walking the dogs to go to the bathroom too. Scooping litter boxes also is a very familiar task for me.

“Michaela was very good and responsible. He communicated very good and sent me pics of Russell. She has a great disposition to and made Russell feel safe from the get go. Since my dog was abused as a pup is hard for him to warm up to people he doesn’t know, but he warm up very soon with her as he felt her good energy all around. I would definitely recommend Michaela and I will use her services every time I need to travel. Thank you Michaela.”

“Kristin did a great job communicating while she stayed at our home to watch our pup. She sent updates at a nice frequency, and my husband and I were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our home and our dog were in great hands!”

Anna B.

“Abigail was an amazing sitter. We immediately felt comfortable with her from the moment she met our pup. She had great communication and gave our pup all the love. Would highly recommend to anyone with any type of pet, her background gives her great experience and she is a sitter to be trusted.”

Mandy R.

“Vanessa was a rockstar for us in a pinch! Needed some help last minute and she stepped in without hesitation. She was responsive, sent pictures, and was all around a fantastic Rover sitter. Will definitely book her again!”

Mikell M.

“We had a wonderful experience Hailey! She stayed at her home while we were away and was incredibly kind, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire time. She sent the sweetest pictures of her snuggling with our dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the pictures that our dogs felt comfortable and were well cared for, not just fed and let out, but actually loved. She went above and beyond by cleaning their ears, and even trimming their nails, which we really appreciated. She also kept our house clean. We felt completely at ease being away, knowing our dogs were safe and happy. She even left us an adorable note with a drawing of our dogs. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

Heather K.

“Catarina was amazing with my GSD. She took great care of her, provided tons of updates and followed all our care instructions. We will definitely book with her again.”

Samantha K.

“Natalie was amazing! Our dog Diggs is a little cranky sometimes and he loved her and she was super good about listening to our requests and sending updates! Will definitely book her again! She is so sweet!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was little. I grew up always having a dog in the house, and pet sitting for neighbors' dogs and cats. I also have some experience in a small animal clinic, as well as caring for my sisters dog when she is away. I am a full-time student at CSU, but I have time in between classes, and they generally end around 2-3. My evenings are more open and I am flexible to fit to the needs of the animal. I am very comfortable with dogs and am good at reading body language. I am comfortable distributing meds, food , water, etc. I am willing to have dogs in my car if we were to go to a park, etc.

About: I’ve had many animals while growing up. I’ve had 4 dogs, 3 cats, a hamster, a guinea pig, snakes, countless fish, and chickens. I am confident in my abilities to care for any kind of pet. I am able to administer meds, groom, train, etc. I love animals and love working with them! I work part-time as a server, but am very flexible with my schedule outside of that. I’m able to stay late at night and come early mornings if necessary. I am able to stop by during the days and in case your pet needs a friend I can bring my own around! I have a fenced yard as well as invisible fencing. I feed my dogs and cats each day, walk and potty them, and scoop litter. When my older cat was around I administered his meds and helped to keep him clean. Any accidents that happen can be cleaned easily and i love cuddling with the animals!
