Dog Sitting in Minnetrista

About: I've had my 18+ year old cat since he was a kitten and have been around cats and kittens for most of my life. We also have a 7 year old mini goldendoodle who we've trained and raised since he was a puppy so I'm pretty accustomed to being around animals. I will also send friendly updates with pictures or videos if wanted :) I was recently laid off from my corporate design job so I am free and flexible to help/watch your furry friend(s)! I'm available for walks, checkins, or pet-sitting throughout the week. I am available to come to your house in order to feed, walk, give medications, clean litter boxes, take outside, etc. I'm also available if you need a stay-in caretaker.

“Molly took great care with our two dogs and gave us detailed reports after each visit. I can tell she loves and respects dogs. We'll use her again!!”

About: I have owned both cats and dogs in my life time, as well as pet sat for many friends and family over the years. I currently own a black American shorthair cat named Daisy :) I am a single mom who has my kids 50% of the time. When I have my kids, I cannot do overnights but I am open to dog walks, play dates, and feedings. When I do not have my kids I have more flexibility to be with your animal(s) for a longer period of time Given my townhome and the pet I own I currently cannot have animals stay with me. I care for all animals with the utmost gentleness and care. I am able to play with and walk dogs / cats

About: Hi! I’m Megan, and I’ve spent years working hands-on with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a strong background in pet care, including working as a dog trainer for both group classes and private clients, as well as experience in dog daycare, boarding, and veterinary settings. I’ve cared for dogs in many environments and I’m comfortable handling everything from basic care to more behavior-focused needs. I have experience reading dog body language and helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve been extensively involved in rescue work as a foster home and running a shelter behavior group of volunteers so I’m especially patient with reactive, anxious, or higher-needs dogs. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and tailoring care to what works best for them. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, you can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care—just like I would for my own. I’m currently a stay at home mom and so I am able to be flexible in most cases. Evenings and weekends will be my most available times! I have two dogs of my own who are very used to new animals coming and going. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but do have tie outs or can leash walk any pets at my home. Every animal has different needs, so I will do my best to figure out what sleeping arrangements make them the most comfortable during their stay (I have kennels of every size so people do not need to bring theirs back and forth unless they prefer to). I’m well versed in methods of calming for pets that might be nervous. I do have a 6 month old infant at home who is very used to dogs, but any pets coming in to my home would need to be safe and comfortable around her.

“Dayjah is so good to us and our diva cat. She's prompt, highly communicative, super thorough, and I love all the pictures of our kitty cat that she sends us during her drop-ins.”

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.

“Lindsey and her daughters did a fantastic job with our cat, Nova! Nova really enjoyed the extra company. Lindsey was reliable, trustworthy, and it’s the first time she hasn’t been anxious when we’ve been gone!”

About: I have had pets my whole life and cared for my own for the past 20 years. I've had all creatures small (hamster) to large (St. Bernard). I currently have 2 dogs, a hamster, and 4 chickens. My family and I have also fostered pups through a local rescue for the past 5 years. We have aided in puppy training to senior care through both personal pets and fostering. I also work at a vet clinic with regular interaction with all sorts of animals. Outside of all the experience, I love animals. I love playing, snuggling, training and treating all animals as if they are my own. I have 3 children who have also inherited my love of animals and love to interact with any pet that comes through our home. ❤️ Both adults in the home work. My hours are part time allowing more availability to spend with your pet. Our resident dogs have free roam of the house for up to 6 hrs unattended, but can be crated if need be. There is typically someone home until 10am each day and home by 3. Potty breaks and cuddles in the morning and then walks, and lots of cuddles in the afternoon and evening. 1 weekday and weekends there is someone home all day to give all the attention. Our resident and foster pups have a basic schedule of eating and morning, afternoon and evening potty breaks in our backyard. Dogs that are trained well on a leash, or new puppies that need training, will get 2-3 walks a day. We have cozy places for naps and all pets are allowed on furniture. Depending on the pet we are happy to let them free roam or crate, whatever the preference is of owner for times we are not home. Between the adults and kids in the home, your pet will get lots of cuddles and playing, treats and mind stimulation.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and other pets for over 12 years through helping family, friends, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overnight care. I have worked at a dog facility in the past. I’m very patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to each pet I care for.

I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with different routines and schedules to best fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet is supervised, cared for attentively, and kept in a calm, loving environment. I always follow any routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special requests provided by owners. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.

About: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had dogs in my life. From growing up with family labs to currently caring for my own black lab named Mae! I love giving dogs a life full of fun, adventure, and exercise—whether that’s walks, hikes, games, or just quality playtime. As a former collegiate athlete and current physical therapy student, I bring energy, patience, and knowledge of safe movement, which helps me care for both energetic pups and senior dogs alike. I value treating every dog like family and strive to make each visit engaging, safe, and full of love for your precious pup :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a physical therapy student completing much of my coursework remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week. I am often available on weekends and have availability during weekdays as well, including evenings. Being active and organized, I thoroughly enjoy incorporating pet care into my day and can provide dependable attention, exercise, and companionship for your four-legged family member When it comes to caring for dogs, I value giving them my full attention. From the moment I meet them I want to make sure we are getting outside and being active. I find so much joy in making sure their cup is filled whether that’s us hanging out or going on long walks:)

About: I have grown up with a dog and cats. I am very familiar with how to successfully care for pets because I don’t remember my life without pets. Growing up, I had both a dog and cats that I helped take care of. I was involved in feeding them, bathing them, and making sure they felt loved and cared for. I also spent a lot of time walking my dog, which I really enjoyed. take care of pets by making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I meet their basic needs like feeding, walks, and playtime, while also adjusting to their unique personality. My goal is to make every pet feel happy and loved, just like they would with their owner.

“Rose was so kind. I’d forgotten to set up the door code for her and after failed attempts to reach me she went back later in the day once we connected. Thanks for going the extra mile.”

About: Hi, I’m Brock 👋 I’m a dependable, active sitter based in the west metro area, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. My fiancée Sara rescued our dog Maya when she was 2 years old, and since then I’ve seen firsthand how much patience, consistency, and calm energy it takes for a rescue dog to feel safe and comfortable. That experience really shaped how I approach every pet I care for—respecting their space, reading their body language, and never rushing trust. I understand that every dog is different. Some are social and playful, others are shy, protective, or need slow introductions to new people. I’m very comfortable working with dogs that need a little extra patience or structure, and I always prioritize safety and comfort above everything else. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I make sure they feel relaxed, cared for, and secure. I’m reliable with communication and will always keep you updated so you have peace of mind. I’m active, responsible, and genuinely enjoy being around dogs—especially getting outside for walks and helping them burn energy in a positive way. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I have a structured but flexible schedule. I work as a golf professional, which keeps me active and organized, and allows me to plan my days in advance. Outside of my golf schedule, I dedicate specific time blocks during the day and evening for pet care. This includes walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I make sure each visit gets my full attention without rushing. I typically have the most availability during weekday mid-mornings, afternoons, and some evenings, depending on the day. I’m also able to accommodate weekend care when scheduled in advance. Overall, I enjoy having pet care as part of my routine and take pride in being reliable, consistent, and attentive with every animal I care for. I provide calm, attentive, and reliable pet care with a strong focus on safety, routine, and each pet’s individual needs. In a client’s home, I respect the space and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walking, medication, and behavioral guidelines. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and provide consistent updates and photos for peace of mind. I work as a golf professional, which gives me a structured and organized schedule that allows me to plan dedicated, uninterrupted time for pet care. This ensures I can be fully present during each visit without rushing or overlapping responsibilities. During walks and drop-ins, I tailor care to each pet’s personality and energy level. I’m especially comfortable with shy, cautious, or rescue dogs and always take a calm, patient approach to building trust. My goal is simple: dependable, high-quality care that keeps pets safe, relaxed, and well looked after while their owners are away.
