Dog Sitting New Hope

About: I have had dogs all my life and have had my own for 5 years now. I love spending time and walking my girl and would love to do the same for yours! I am available all day on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I am occasionally available in the mornings on Tuesday-Thursday with the right amount of notice. I can provide walking around your neighborhood/playing in your back yard or inside with the dog and their toys. I am unable to provide care for other dogs in my own home.

“Alicja was great and was able to come over after a very last minute request! Took great care of my kitties, gave my diabetic cat insulin and even took out the garbage on the way out! Would definitely rebook and recommend to others! :)”

“Pamela was fantastic with our two cats! She was always timely in her drop-ins, gave comprehensive updates, and kept our cats happy and entertained. We highly recommend her for anyone else looking for a sitter!”

About: I’ve had/owned and taken care of dogs majority of my life. My last dog I got as a puppy and lived with for his whole 17 years life. I have experience in puppy and senior care. I have a flexible schedule and can be home 4 days a week, with flexibility. I can fit my work to the needs of your pet! My house is pet proof and ready! The front yard is grass and with a fence protecting it from the road. Great area for walks!!

“Jaime was so communicative and attentive to my cat's needs during every drop-in visit. Loved the daily pictures and the peace of mind knowing she was happy and well taken care of.”

About: I'm a teacher and an animal lover! I'm great at caring for others. 😄 We have two friendly cats and would love to host some dogs. I'm available most weekends and all summer. I'm available to board your pet most weekends. You can always reach out even if my schedule says not available. Those that have boarded with us love that their pet was clean, relaxed and well cared for. My kids love animals and your pet will be given a lot of attention. We have two cats that we love. Our animals are part of our family. The cats are loved and cared for on a separate floor of the house when we have doggies over. We hope to meet a few nice families that want their pets to get some extra attention in evenings or weekends.

“This was our second time booking Sarah to watch our cat in our home. She did a wonderful job, provided updates and pictures. I'm happy to have a found an awesome sitter who our cat loves as well! 😺”

About: I am the biggest animal lover ever! I’ve had a dog for the last 10 years, but have had a love for dogs and cats since I was little. I love a good long walk with my dog and my favorite thing to do after work is play with her. Taking care of animals is so much fun and it brings me so much joy in life. I am the perfect person for this job because I am a very caring and trusting person. I am so excited to be working with animals because they have been my love since I was a child. I am the ultimate animal lover and I would love to work with you and your pet(s) now and in the future. I am a full time student in my masters program at the University of Minnesota, but only have class 3 days a week. During my down time and free time, I would love to help someone out with their animal and get my much needed animal affection. Pet care is not a job for me, it is a honor. When it comes for caring for my pet and others pets, I am a very caring and warm person. I am very gentle and will make sure the animal is comfortable before doing anything. I am in their space and want the animal to trust me. I make sure the pet has everything they need and more, because it is what they deserve.

“Kevin is truly the most amazing sitter! When he’s coming to watch my cat I tell her that her best friend is coming over! She adores him! He is excellent with communication and is very knowledgeable. You will not be disappointed!!”

“Great pet sitter! My dogs loved her and we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were gone. She provided lots of puppy cuddles and pictures.”

About: New info- for my canine clients who are kennel trained- We have several spacious kennels and dog beds so rest assured that you dont have to bring yours. The kennels and dog beds are both washed and sanitized in between pups. We also have a dog bowls and extra poop bags on hand. For your elderly pup, pups that have recently had surgery or those with little legs- We have a doggie ramp for our stairs. I have been a pet owner for the past 20 years, mostly cats, but a few dogs. I will probably be a pet owner for the rest of my life. When I was younger I volunteered at my local animal hospital. I have previously had a Pomeranian (who was prone to seizures) as well as a terrier. I currently belong (yes they own me) 3 cats, Callie (aged 10), Simba (aged 7) and Soxxs (age unknown at least aged 5). I can't wait to meet your furry friend and have lots of fun together. I work full time Mon- Fri, so this is will be after work and on the weekends. I am willing to watch senior dogs and special needs dogs, as I believe that every dog needs love and care. I look forward to meeting you sooner rather than later. I have a fenced in yard. We do kennel when we are out of the house and during meal times to ensure your canine doesn't eat something they aren't supposed to. Winter boardings- we use pet safe sidewalk salt in addition to wiping off paws after walks. I work Mon- Fri, I am home on the weekends, as well as my husband is off on Sunday & Monday. Pets are always cared for as we are on opposite shifts. We provide plenty of walks and love for your pets. We usually stays away from dogs parks just because other dogs could be more aggressive. FAQ's: What to bring- a blanket/dog bed, toys, treats, food, leash/harness/leader, medicine (if applicable). For heat sensitive breeds: our house does have central a/c and we do have wood floors- which helps keep your pup cool. We do a potty break & breakfast in the morning (between 6 & 7 am), several walks thoughout the day. We do have littles so we do crate during meal times. We do one last potty break in the evening (between 8 & 10 pm) This can be changed as each pup is different and has different needs. We do potty breaks through our the day and several walks. My husband and I are on opposite schedules so someone is always home with the pups. We do keep dog soap on hand in the event a bath is needed.

About: I grew up with dogs and have had my own pup for over six years. I love all dogs big and small! I can’t wait to give your dog all my love and attention! I’m working part time and would love to fill my off hours with doggy playtime, walks, and even a companion for my pup Nova if it works out! When I am sitting the dogs are always my priority. My apartment is completely dog friendly and there is no space they can’t go. There is a dog park across the street for frequent play and lots of space along the river for good walks and smells!

“Chloe was a superb dog sitter! We are so grateful she could stop in to care for our senior dog when we needed extra support. Would totally have Chloe back again.”

“Grace has been the best - she handles my reactive doggo wonderfully and the photos I get make my day every time; I truly look forward to getting the daily updates at work. 1 month of dog watching and I’m super grateful for her punctuality and flexibility.”

About: I’m a friendly, energetic dog walker with a flexible schedule to help meet your pet’s needs! I’ve owned multiple breeds and sizes of dogs and cats and am excited to give your furry friend care while you’re away! I work a flexible job with some availability throughout the work day, as well as frequent weekend availability. I’d be happy to make sure your pet is well taken care of any time you’re away! I’d love to walk your dog around my neighborhood near Cedar Lake, or come to you! You can also trust me to care for your cat or dog in your home while being the most respectful of your space.

“Debdatta was fantastic during her drop-in visits with our dog, Summer. She took great care of her, making sure she was fed, walked, and given plenty of attention. It was clear from her updates and communication that she genuinely cared about Summer’s well-being. We felt completely at ease knowing Summer was in such good hands. I highly recommend Debdatta to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate caregiver, and we will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for neighbor’s pets, including cats, reptiles, and other not-so-furry friends, as well as taking care of my family’s many dogs and my own cats. I also foster-sit with a Minneapolis rescue when it works out. When I’m not working in office Tuesday- Thursday, I’m around all day to hang out with your furry friend and ensure all their needs are met. When caring for your pets in my home or yours, they can expect lots of playtime, cuddles, and walks to the park. My home also has a fenced backyard for your pup to let all the zoomies out.

About: I’m a passionate (professionally trained) dog trainer with over four years of experience at one of the currently top rated and award winning doggie day cares, boarding and training facility in the metro area! My passion has taken me through professional boarding facilities and various sized playrooms, where I’ve learned the ins and outs of doggy behavior from playful pups, ones that are a little more on the spicy side, to the more reserved ones. what I truly love is helping pups thrive. I have been trained to use various tools if needed for your pup such as properly fitting a harness, a prong collar, and more. I will happily collaborate with you to create a perfect care plan including enrichment, walks, play time, brain games and structure. I have been successfully training dogs for 11 years with the past 4 being in a professional setting. I’m all about clarity, transparency and open communication. My current position at my full time job is the lead trainer and manager of a smaller group daycare for reactive pups of various degrees and pups that need structure. I’m fine with behavioral issues such as resource guarding, reactivity ect as long as it’s disclosed first. I also have a senior GSD at home so I know how to provide compassionate care for our sugar faced friends! I’m always open for questions or comments and I send LOTS of pictures! I require a meet and greet before booking any services (unless it’s a last minute drop in or dog walk) I work full time as a dog trainer but I always make time to train and work my own dogs as well as being able to care for others pets. We can discuss your ideal schedule and figure out together the perfect plan. I’m available most evenings and weekends. I have a fully fenced yard, long lines and a couple favorite parks! I will always be transparent with pet parents about expectations with their pets. What I would do with a senior pup is different than a young dog. I’m happy to provide my companionship and love for dogs who would rather snuggle and just be around people or play lots of fetch and do lots of brain games for dogs who need that. Usually it’s a mix between the two, some play, lots of love.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, starting with two family dogs I grew up with from age 2 through 20. Over the years I’ve looked after friends’ and family members’ pets of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, seniors, and dogs with medical or mobility needs. I have hands‑on experience providing medication and tailoring care to each dog’s comfort level. While boarding in our home, your pup will be welcomed by our family who will give lots of love and attention and help with routine care making sure your pet is comfortable and safe. During housesitting, I will treat your home with respect and your pet with the same attention, consistency, and affection you give them. I stay overnight for all house‑sits and personally handle all pet care. My goal is to keep their routine steady, their environment calm, and their day filled with companionship. I work part time 3 days outside the house for a few hours Mon/Tues/Th, however I am home the majority of the day including weekends. At our home, my family helps with companionship and routine care, giving your dog extra attention and a warm, safe environment. I also have a vehicle and am able to pick up and drop off as needed. I take pride in caring for all pets and following all and any instruction or special requests given. I will always be respectful of a clients home and treat your dog with dignity and love. At our home, dogs are free to roam upstairs (except in bedrooms) and the downstairs is off limits unless supervised. We make use of pet gates to contain dogs in different areas but with plenty of space to move freely. Our living room goes directly out to our deck and back yard. We are able to keep pets out of the kitchen if that would be a 'no go' spot.
