House Sitting in Norseland

About: I have had dogs and/or cats for as long as i can remember. I currently have 3 dogs of my own right now. I have helped neighbors, friends, and family when they were out of town with their fur babies. I am currently a senior in highschool, but i have a very flexible school schedule. I am only on campus from 9:30-1:00 and can be with your babies any other time!! My main goal with your pets is for them to feel safe and comfortable with me. I will take your dogs for daily walks, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and play time!!

About: Hi! Thanks for visiting our profile! We are the Butlers! Christina, Cody, Malakai, and Callahan. 2 boys ages 5 & 3 They love animals! We have a great loving home to help keep them safe while you vacation or work. We are very flexible, and very fast to respond and send photos of your pet while they are here. Let us help you so you don’t have to worry about your fur babies! Must be ok with children! We also have 2 cats, that we try to block off when we have pets visiting. We also have a bunny, who is in a play pen but should hopefully be fine! Feel free to reach out. Have an amazing day! We have a pretty flexible schedule! One of us is always home. If we do end up having to leave they will be kenneled for a short period of time unless they are trained to not potty in house or destroy things! Must be ok with cats. We do not have a Fenced yard, but we can let your pup out on a long leash to be able to do their business. Please provide the leash. We can take dogs on walks too!

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!

“Very responsible and caring. Did an amazing job with my dogs. Highly recomended”

About: I have had dogs my whole life growing up and I currently have 2 large dogs. I would prefer if they are already potty trained. I am a full time college student with class in the mornings and afternoons. I would be able to do visits very early in the morning or after class/later in the day too. I am willing to exercise your dog with either a walk, throwing a ball or some other activity they like. Or on the flip side if they love chilling and getting attention I am totally down for that too.

About: Hi there! I’m Wendy, an animal lover and dedicated pet caregiver with over 2 years of experience in dog walking, pet sitting (cats as well), and overnight care. I believe every pet deserves a loving and safe environment, and I strive to provide just that for your furry family members. Currently working part-time, but I am available this holiday season. Please only serious inquiries. I will try to be as flexible as possible. Available for night shifts as well. I customize my services to fit your pet's needs and routines. You’ll receive daily updates and photos, so you won’t miss your furry friend while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to calm seniors.

“Jason is amazing. He really understands dogs and is kind and patient with the dogs and the owners. He is very professional and incredibly flexible with people's schedules. I plan on using him for dog walking, doggy dare care, and more overnight stays in the future. It's also great to have someone like Jason in the St. Peter area. We kept in contact when my Alex spent the night, texting and sending pictures and videos of Alex throughout the day, which was a real comfort to me because this is the first time Alex stayed with someone. I couldn't recommend him more highly. Use him once and you'll never want to use anyone else!”

Sean C.

About: I’m always asking friends and family if they need someone to watch their animals or even just take them for a walk because I love animals! Of all shapes and sizes. I am currently working from home so I’ll be able to spend all day with your pal! I can let them out, feed, cuddle as needed. I live in a house with plenty of room to roam and a great window view for your animal! I do not have a fenced in yard so letting dogs out would be supervised on a leash.

“Jacey was amazing with our two Great Danes. She stayed with them for two nights. She was attentive, communicative, and reliable. She handled our shy boy very well and even got some snuggles from him on the last day. We will absolutely ask for her services again.”

“Cheyenne was amazing with our pups and house! We had quite a few hiccups while on vacation and she was very helpful and communicative. Definitely recommend her to watch your pups!”

Rachael J.

“Elizabeth was Amazing with our pets! We were so nervous since this was our first time using Rover, but she made us feel so comfortable leaving our pets. She kept us updated with texts and pictures, which we really appreciated. We would recommend her to everyone!”

About: I work remotely in marketing, beginning at 8 AM to 5 PM, Monday to Friday. Were very grateful to have a nice home with a wonderful, large, fenced-in backyard that allows the dogs to go potty in and explore (bark!). My availability and hours are very flexible and the dogs are rarely left alone or kenneled, they are free to roam the house, I just close doors as necessary. I have never owned a dog of my own, I just grew up around dogs and cats. Mainly and most recently, it was a sisters two dogs our family spent the most time around: Gibbs (15 lb., 13 yr old, male Jack Russell Terrier & Beagle mix) and Zero (65 lb., 5 yr old, male Standard Poodle). I would basically Rover for her and her husband, which including giving the senior, anxiety-ridden dog meds (he didn’t enjoy, he would spit them up). We enjoyed being outdoors and evening walks around the neighborhood and having them a part of our family. They have then since moved to the West coast with their dogs. I work remotely and am blessed with the work-life balance it offers my family. I have an energetic elementary school-aged daughter. She's an empath and truly cares for all animals wellbeing! She's deeply concerned about any discomfort or distress. We have a dog-friendly orange cat named Buddy (4). He's fed first thing in the AM and enjoys chin scratches. He stays nearby me in my office or does his own thing. My daughter buses to and from school and I take a hour lunch at noon, then am done at 5 PM and we go about our evening routine. Dogs go out every few hours (sliding patio door) to the fenced in yard or when they signal me. Right in the morning and before bed. I try to get as much activity in for us as possible, especially on decent weather days. We utilize a nearby parks, dog park and walking trails in our community. Having the dogs here really motivate me to go for more walks, the dogs love them and I appreciate the eager walking company. I also live with my younger sister (23). She works full time 2 jobs as a CNA/retail, isn't home much but does help me care for the dogs, such as a short walk around the block. Our home is a 4 bed, 3 level split with a finished basement. It has a large secure, fully-fenced in yard and the property has 11 trees. Garage is attached. We all sleep in the upstairs bedrooms which is also where my office is. I have 2 litter boxes for my cat, one in garage that he prefers. The other is in the basement bathroom, where I can keep the door shut (Ive caught sisters dog eating litter covered turds). Our neighborhood is very safe and quiet. I have a reflective sash I wear out at night (this summer I was nearly ran over by an SUV when it was dark). The dogs usually sleep on the floor in my room and it's OK if they sleep on the bed, I am not concerned about fur. If the dog stinks, I can give them a bath either downstairs in the wash tub or upstairs in the bathtub. If they stay longer and start to stink, I will bathe them, because everyone feels better after a bath.

About: Family bred dogs since I was 3, have experience with many different breeds, empathetic to their needs, firm with commands but generous with the treats Currently work full time from 8 a.m.-4:30p.m. So can work anytime after 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, but can work anytime on weekends during any time. Like to look around the setting and see any possible hiding spots the animal can get into, and figure out animals favorite spots, toys, treats

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with 7 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog. I handle everything from daily feedings and long energetic walks to the less glamorous parts of pet ownership like cleaning up and maintaining a routine. I’m naturally patient, very active, and I treat every dog I meet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a high-energy game of fetch or a calm stroll around the block, I'm happy to provide the attention and care they deserve! As someone that works remotely I am able to provide high level care at all hours! I currently work remotely and am able to take breaks to allow for bathroom relief and play time! I am happy to go on a stroll around the neighborhood or enjoy the dog park playing fetch. I live in a beautiful two bedroom apartment with plenty of room to snuggle in one of the queen beds! I am excited to be expanding into a bigger home soon come the end of summer.

“Katherine did a wonderful job taking care of our pups and house while we on vacation. She came for a meet and greet before, meeting our fear-reactive pit-retriever mix and rough collie, spending plenty of time to interact with them and ask questions. She sent messages and pictures with updates. I definitely will be requesting her again.”

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!

“Amber did a fantastic job taking care of our two pups. She was extremely responsive and accountable. So we knew our pups were in good hands”

Katelyn B.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs my whole life. I’ve had pretty chill dogs, rough dogs, and dogs that run away any chance they get. I’m prepared for any dog that I can take care of. I currently don’t have another job at the moment but I might work another job pretty soon. I work out and have football practice. Other than that I’m free to take care of dogs. I feed my dogs and let them out whenever they need to be let out. If they need specific things such as to be kenneled or anything of that nature I can easily do. I can also keep company with the dogs and play with them.
