Pet Sitting New Hope

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with dogs in my extended family and have always been one of the people helping care for them, so being around different breeds, personalities, and energy levels has always felt very natural to me. In the last several years, that experience has grown through having dogs of my own and dog sitting through Rover. I’ve now cared for 40+ dogs, from young puppies to seniors and dogs with special needs. I’m comfortable adjusting to each dog’s routine, personality, activity level, feeding schedule, medications, and whatever helps them feel most comfortable away from home. Our home is very dog-friendly. We have a large fenced yard with plenty of room to play, and we’re within walking distance of a park and dog park. I work from home Monday through Friday and am home most weekends, so dogs get lots of attention, supervision, outdoor time, and opportunities to settle in and feel like part of the household. We lost our sweet girl Stella in December 2025, and we now have Ellie and Pepper. Ellie is very used to having visiting dogs around, and Pepper is a playful younger pup who loves having canine company. Between them, visiting dogs usually have built-in buddies while they’re here. I genuinely love having dogs around and want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home while their people are away. Routine I work from home Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 5 PM, so Ellie isn’t left alone during the day. I’m also home and available most weekends. Our days follow a consistent routine: Ellie goes out first thing between 6:30 and 7 AM, then eats breakfast. In the winter, walks are weather-permitting, so most outdoor time is in the yard with plenty of supervised play. Dinner is around 6 PM and bedtime is around 9 PM. Visiting dogs fit right into this rhythm, with regular outdoor breaks, playtime, and lots of company throughout the day. I provide a safe and comfortable environment where dogs can relax and play. My home has a fenced yard for outdoor time, and I supervise dogs throughout the day since I work from home. I make sure all dogs get plenty of attention, follow any special care instructions, and have an stress-free stay.

“Cayla was wonderful. We were in a crunch looking for care for our fur babies and she came in clutch. She was timely and loved and cared for them as we hoped. Thank you Cayla!”

About: I’m an experienced pet owner with a large Bernese Mountain Dog/German Shepherd mix along with two cats. I am comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I understand that each dog and cat has their own unique personality and needs. Pet safety, patience, exercise, and attentive care are my main priorities while ensuring all owner’s guidance is followed. Pet care is already a large part of my daily routine as a dog and cat owner! I work full time during the week, but I am available 6 AM thru 7 AM and then after 4 PM Monday thru Friday. I also have flexible availability throughout the weekends. Whether it’s an evening walk, a drop-in visit, or weekend care while you’re away, I enjoy making time to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I treat both with the same care and respect I would my own. Whether I’m house sitting, stopping by for a visit, or taking your dog for a walk, I make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet is unique and am attentive to each pet’s individual personality, needs, and comfort level. During walks, I prioritize safe handling and remain aware of our surroundings. For drop-ins and house sitting, I’ll make sure your pets have fresh water, appropriate meals, exercise, playtime, medication as needed, and plenty of attention. I’ll also respect your home, keep things tidy, and ensure doors and gates are securely closed. Clear and consistent communication is provided throughout every encounter. I’ll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away!

“We couldn't ask for a more reliable and caring person and will definitely book with them again! Loved the photos, our dog was so happy. Allowed us to enjoy the wedding we went to.”

“Reagan is honestly the greatest. Prompt, a good communicator, extremely kind, and very accommodating are just some of the things I love about her. When she stayed overnight in my home she left it cleaner than I did! I have many pets and she followed all directions perfectly. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for everything, Reagan ♥️ hope to see you soon!”

“Ashley was very accommodating was able to book last minute and squeeze me in and still meet my kiddos needs. Communicative and fast response to any questions or concerns I had. Thanks”

“Jennifer was PHENOMENAL with our pets!!! We have both a dog and a cat so it's sometimes difficult for us to find a sitter that can really care about both but Jennifer really went above and beyond. We needed someone very last minute and we're so thankful that Jennifer made herself available. She's so easy to work with, was prompt, and gave plenty of attention to our boys. So kind of her to come bearing little treats for them too! We would highly recommend Jennifer as a sitter and we're very glad we could depend on her in the future!”

“Maia took wonderful care of our cat, Princess Leia, while we were out of town for four days. She was an excellent communicator, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind that everything was going smoothly. When we returned home, both our house and our cat were clearly well cared for. Princess Leia was happy to see us, but she also seemed calm, relaxed, and content, which is always the best sign that she's been in good hands. Maia's drop-in visits gave us confidence that our cat was getting the attention and care she needed while we were away. We would absolutely trust Maia with our home and pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter.”

“Christy was absolutely amazing, as always! We so appreciate the great care she takes off our Bella while we're away. She gives us such peace of mind!”

“My puppers immediately took to Kelly 😁- they’re looking g forward to more time with her”

“Kaitlyn was amazing. My younger dog is not great with new people. Kaitlyn made friends with her so quickly, and I knew Kaitlyn was a winner. The updates she posted after each visit were super cute and informational. The pictures she took always made me home sick for my dogs, but I still appreciated all of them! I would recommend Kaitlyn to anyone who loves their dogs more than me (impossible). She was able to handle the raw feeding for my dogs and had my dogs eating out of her hands!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dog and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dog. My dog, Elliot, loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have my own small pup who is energetic and loves to play, but isn’t pushy. I work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dog).

About: When you have to be away, I want to provide a compassionate space for your four legged family member to be cared for. I understand how much dogs and cats add to our lives and how they deserve the best we can give them. And next to you, I am the best. I hold a work ethic that allows you to rely on me to provide for your pet and get their needs met. I can stay at your home, drop in, or open my home. Let's collaborate together and create the most stress free plan for your dog(s) or cat(s). Then relax while you confidently know that I will be tending to all the details we arrange for the health and happiness of your loved one. I work part time and share a lot of boarding care with my partner. Our schedules overlap so your pup will have very little time that they might have to be alone. When your pup stays with me in my home we try to make their stay as comfortable as possible. There are areas for both chill time and outside time; with dedicated space for rest and play as well as an easily accessible fenced yard.

“Alexandra did a great job caring for our two rambunctious and kind of difficult dogs. This was the first time we used a dog sitter that wasn’t a family member and our pups were well cared for and happy and comfortable when we returned! The house was also just as we left it, which is a bonus. Thanks for spending time with them!”

“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! :)”

About: Hi! I am a dependable, experienced pet lover who treats every animal like family. I grew up on a farm with 3 boxers, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. As an adult, I have had a Boston Terrier, two French Bulldogs (one is still with me at home), several cats, lizards, fish, and I currently care for a Koi pond-so I am very comfortable with a wide range of animal personalities and needs. I work from home, which means your dog will get plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day. I have a very friendly French Bulldog named Bubble (age 7), who loves having visitors, plus a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I am close to several walking paths near a lake, and dogs are allowed all throughout my home. I know firsthand how hard it is to leave your pet when you're busy or away-I've been there myself while working long hours in the office plus having to commute. That is why I am committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved and engaged. I promise to keep them happy, healthy, and having fun while they are in my care. I offer walks, daycare, and overnight stays in my home. I am happy to follow your pet's routine closely. I can also handle feeding schedules, basic medications, and provide regular updates with photos so you always feel connected and know what is going on. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities-and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. I would love to meet you and your pet! I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I am home most of the day already with my dog -unless having to run errands. The same holds true if I am watching your pet. I will be around the house with your pet all day! I have a 2 floor home, fenced back yard, small shallow koi pond, doggy door, and gates at the top of the stairs for pets.

About: I have had my own dogs for the past year or two and absolutely love spending time with dogs. I understand their needs and try my best to make sure each dog gets their own individual needs taken care of. I do this on the side and my schedule is variable. I love to get to know the owners and dogs together, while taking all the necessary precautions to stay safe right now. I am willing to give baths and clip nails if needed, as long as the dog cooperates. I love being able to keep the dog(s) active and engaged because I understand the need for engagement and exercise. I may not have any professional experience but I love everything dog and will work extra hard to make sure your dog is loved and cared for! I usually have mornings open so I can walk your dogs and get them up and moving in the beginning of the day! I am born and raised minnesotan so I also know how to brave the weather so you don't have to My dog is very needy and loves attention so I'm also used to having a dog around and keeping them engaged! I am very good at reading what they need and how they are communicating! I love being interactive with the dog and keeping them happy!

About: I've been hanging with cats and dogs since I was a teenager. I was the Friendly Neighborhood Baby/Dog/Cat/House Sitter and spent much of my adolescence caring for my community's animal companions. Despite not having any pets in the home during my childhood, I had lots of exposure to animals from a young age. I pet sat for my neighbors, friends, and family for many years and finally got some pets of my own in adulthood. I have house, crate, walk, and obedience trained two puppies and have had some experience retraining older pets and rescues. I have, unfortunately, also cared for an elderly cat through his passing and a terminally ill dog through his passing. I have been working professionally as a pet sitter for three years and have never felt more fulfilled! I'd love to meet you and your pets and provide excellent care for your loved ones! I work a hybrid job and am in office 2x a week in Maple Grove. I tend to have the flexibility to pick which days and can almost always leave over my lunch hour to run back to your pets if need be! Additionally, I work as an actor, singer, and theatre director outside of my 9-5 so I might have rehearsals/performances that take me away from the house but I always make sure our schedules are compatible before booking. Constant care available for a 25% rate increase. I am a very conscientious and safety minded person. I know that it is a risk to open your home to someone from the internet and is a lot to entrust them with the care of your family members. I don't take that responsibility lightly. Making sure your home and your pets are safe and well cared for is my priority.

“Kevin did a great job taking care of our two cats- we knew they were in great capable hands which allowed us to be present and enjoy our time away.”
