Ali did drop-in visits for our three cats while we were out of state for our wedding. She updated us daily with messages and photos. Our cats were happy and well-cared for when we got home. Highly recommend!

Brienne was wonderful for the week she helped watch my dogs. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs! She was on time, updates were very detailed, and lots of pictures. I’ll definitely use her next time I need to keep my dogs at home!

She was great! She was on time, sent us lots of pictures, kept us informed on everything, and went above and beyond. Our dog was content and happy when we got home and we are very appreciative.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have watched dogs for my friends and family before. I work a a vet clinic and have experience with many breeds I do work normally 4 days a week. But I am available after work during the week most of the time. And am pretty flexible on weekends. I am not able to have pets in my home. But would be able to walk your pet or let them out for the bathroom while you are gone. Or watch them in their home.

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I pride myself on giving each animal the same love and attention they’d get from their family. I’m experienced with administering medications, following special diets, and providing calm, reassuring care for anxious pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What Sets Me Apart: I focus on building trust through consistency, patience, and clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My background in handling multiple pets at once and caring for animals with special needs means you can relax knowing your pets are in capable hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight care, or weekend stays, I make sure your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to training routines, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level.

About: We had a pup for 16 years and sadly he had to leave this world behind. We have a lot of love to give but don't have the time to commit to another pup full time. We'd love to help you with your pup dog - while on vacation or even some time to walk. We both work from home so your dog will receive extra attention all day! We are able to get walks in a few times a day and enjoy the time outside as well. We also have a teenage girl who loves pets, so when she's home, there another person around to love on your dog. Our house is welcoming, and we welcome any trained dogs to our house. We have three levels and animals are allowed throughout the house. We do not have a fenced in back yard but it is very open for them to run and play.

About: I provide reliable, attentive, and loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies that need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs that require a gentler pace and extra attention. I recently moved to the area and am excited to get back into pet care and build relationships with local pet owners. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications when needed, maintaining feeding schedules, and providing regular exercise and enrichment tailored to each dog’s needs. Communication is one of my top priorities, and I provide frequent updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of affection, and the attention they deserve throughout their stay. work a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care during lunch breaks, after work, and on weekends. This allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and companionship. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that best fits their needs. I provide care in my clients’ homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, exercise, medications, and any special care needs.

I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

Onnika was AMAZING! I just got a new kitten and my other cat is still adjusting to that change and she took every step to make sure both of them not only felt comfortable but loved. She took both of their feelings into consideration and tried out different things to see what was working best for them and what seemed to make them the happiest. For an anxious cat mom who has never left her babies with anyone besides family/friends she was a life saver and sent so many pictures and videos that put my mind at ease. I recommend her SO much and will definitely be using her again in the future :)

About: I have experienced with animals of all shapes and sizes. I worked in a doggy daycare/boarding facility for about a year. I’m so grateful for that experience because I learned so much. I learned to read doggy body language really well, so I have the utmost confidence that I can help your pup feel comfortable around me! I currently work at a veterinary clinic as a vet assistant. I’ve worked with cats and dogs of all sizes, temperaments and I’ve had my fair share who are picky eaters. So I won’t be offended if your pup doesn’t take treats from me! I have worked with dogs who are confident, and dogs who are shy and just need some extra time to warm up to me. While the puppy appointments are great, I also have gotten a lot of work in with senior pets too! Whether your pup is going to push me out the door to play fetch, or would rather spend some time in the couch getting snuggles and belly rubs, they’ll taken care of just like they were my own fur baby. Hi there! I’m Elizabeth! I currently work from 7:30 - 5 Monday through Thursday. I am currently available for house sitting almost every Friday and weekend. I am available for walks or play times after 6 pm most days Monday through Thursday! I currently have 3 amazing basset hounds and 2 cats that I live with. Our bassets have a fenced in yard, but I’ve also lived with mixed breeds. My mixed breeds have been anywhere from smaller dogs to 100+ pounds! I understand that some pets are cautious around new people. When at work at my veterinary clinic, I take my time with dogs that are more shy. I want all pets I encounter to be my friend, and I know it can take longer with some pets.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, patient approach and my ability to connect with pets of all personalities, especially shy or anxious ones. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life, so I understand how to read their body language and respond to their needs with care and understanding. I’m also very reliable and communicative, so you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I have a flexible class schedule, which means I can stop by for walks or drop-in visits between classes and again later in the afternoon or evening. Spending time with animals is one of my favorite parts of the day; it’s a relaxing, happy break that keeps me active and grounded. Whether it’s a quick walk or some evening cuddle time, I always make sure each pet gets my full attention and care. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always make sure to keep their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes, so pets feel safe and at ease while their owners are away. I spend time playing, giving attention, and keeping their space tidy and calm. Since I live in a dorm, I don’t bring pets to my room, but I’m very dedicated to giving them the best care right in their own home, where they feel most comfortable.

About: I believe pet care is more than feeding and letting them out. I take the time to interact, play, and be present, so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. Whether a pet wants activity or quiet company, I make sure they get the attention they need. I’ve spent many years raising and caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and birds. With that experience, I know how to help animals feel safe and comfortable quickly, and I’m able to build trust and a positive connection with them! I am currently working remotely, so I will not be gone for hours on end. I have other activities I like to do like go to the gym, but most of my day will be spent in your home caring for your loved ones! Everyone knows that each pet responds differently to their parents leaving, so I like to go with the flow, making sure they are comfortable. If they want to spend a lot of their time relaxing and by themselves, I will give them their space, but will I always be there for them if they want to play!

About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I have the biggest soft spot for them, and I have two dogs of my own. I have had my own dog since I was about 19, but have had outdoor farm dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been around dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals for as long as I can remember. I am patient, detail orientated and I truly just love spending time with animals. Big or small, I love them all! I do work during the day, but I have the ability to pop out if/when I need to. I am free evenings and weekends. My schedule can be flexible if needed. I have a dog friendly home. To me this means there’s nothing but toys on the ground. Garbages are hidden and I am very aware of what is around my animals. I also have a dog park in front of my apartment!

About: I’ve been caring for pets longer than I can remember - from helping grandma with her horses and barn cats to spoiling and training our own dachshund puppy and two amazing kitties - I am well equipped for any situation. Some background for me: I was born and raised in Alaska! There I took care of cats of varying abilities/disabilities/age, dogs of all sizes and abilities/disabilities/age, and fish! There’s been instances where I have stayed over a month to look over a special needs cat, and dug my car out after a heavy snow to make sure a hyper puppy gets a good hike in! I’m adaptable and communicative - you can be sure that I’ll send you plenty of photos and videos of your pet while you’re gone! Now I’m here in Minnesota to finish college, start life with my new husband, and take care of the pets in Southern Minnesota! I’m currently still a student! But I have Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends for the most part completely open! Otherwise, I will make sure to check in on your pets between classes to ensure they don’t go more than four hours alone. I can’t have a pet in my apartment right now 😭 but when I’m back home in Alaska, we had a fenced area for our dog while she was still with us, and we have two full-time indoor cats. We love to spoil our animals - lots of love, kindness, and a patient environment. Just positive reinforcement and steady routines over here!

I have been to a few training sessions with my own dogs, so I can help out with some basic training tasks. I can easily go on walks and runs with your dog. I’m very flexible with your needs so just let me know!

Allison did a great job with our two cats, four guinea pigs, and two hamsters! Our cat, Juniper, who is usually more on the shy side, warmed right up to her and loved the attention. She gave daily updates and sent pictures. Thank you Allison!
