Pet Sitting in North Mankato

“Shenice was an amazing, interactive, and loving care giver for our kitties! It was a blessing to find her as a pet sitter. She was great with communications and photos of our kitties everyday. Hands-down, Shenice is a part of our family and we will look to her services in the future ?‍⬛??”

“Kaitlyn offered tremendous service on short notice. Not only did she ensure our cat was well cared for during a home visit, but she also went above and beyond in sharing pictures of our pet, her food and litter areas, etc. Highly recommended!”

“Juliet was great! She clearly has a good amount of experience, especially with cats. She responded promptly to the booking request and asked good questions upon meeting, and was very friendly. My cats warmed up to her immediately! She completed the booking as requested including stopping by my house on-time every day and sending photo updates. I would recommend Juliet to my friends and definitely would book her again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I am part of a rescue and have had many fosters throughout my home, along with many dogs myself. I had a special needs basset hound and loved giving him the extra help he needed during his life. I also have experience with puppies, big dogs, blind dogs, and shy/breeder release! I did train my dogs starting at age 12 as well. Open at any time! Walks, potty breaks, petting session and everything in between! I have very few scheduling conflicts. Available almost all day every day :) With compassion and care. I would take care of your pet as it is needed and however you request! I would treat your animal and home as I would mine.

“Breanna always does a wonderful job taking care of my dog. This time I just needed her to drop-in a couple of times during the day. I appreciate that she spends some time with Nola when she is here and sends pictures and updates. She always provides excellent care, whether it is overnights or drop-ins.”

About: I love dogs, the larger the better! I have watched dogs for more than 7 years now. I have looked after dogs from Miniature Poodles to Coonhounds. I have taken care of new born puppies all the way up to senior dogs that are blind. I have taken care of a chow that was super strong and most people couldn't walk her, but I could. I have even helped while my dog gave birth to her puppies. I currently own a Hungarian Vizsla and a Treeing Walker Coonhound they have a ton of energy and needs a lot of attention. I would love to help with your furbaby! I am currently working for Amazon. So I do work Monday-Thursday from 9:30am-8pm. I am delivering way out of town so I won’t be able to be to take out your pup for walks or potty breaks during that time. I will give your pet the attention they deserve and not ignore them. I love playing games with dogs and taking them on long walks.

“Maisie was a great pet sitter! We’ll definitely request her again when we need someone! She checked in on our dog, and was on time, and did everything we asked her to do. We loved seeing all of the pictures she sent with each visit! Before the visit, she was very communicative and appreciative of the notes we gave her. Definitely recommend!”

About: I have taken care of many animals in my life; dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters, geckos, bearded dragons, frogs, turtles, fish, and more. I am also very good at taking care of senior animals or animals with special attention in general as I have lots of experience with picky eaters, sensitive diets, allergies, and medication. I am also CPR certified for dogs and cats in the case of an emergency. I am a very clean individual so I will keep your home neat while also providing loving care for your pet. I care deeply for all animals and can assure that your pets needs will be put first above everything else! I understand that schedules are tricky to maneuver so I am able to work whenever I am needed as long as I don’t have another pet care gig at the same time. I am very good at matching energy with animals so I can play with them for hours or take them on long walks if they are energetic or simply sit around with them with shorter walks if they are older. I am also really good at following directions so if you have special instructions for your pet, I will follow them perfectly! Otherwise I will use my knowledge on animals to assure that your pet is happy and healthy the entire time you’re gone!

About: I recently moved to live in Mankato after finishing college at Gustavus. I grew up on a farm taking care of animals from birth to passing. I have always been a very passionate animal lover and owner. I have previously owned cats, goats, and chickens. And I have taken care of dogs, horses, turtles, and fish so I have a wide variety of knowledge. I currently work a full time job Monday through Friday. But I am open during the weekday evenings for drop in visits and dog walking and I am open on the weekends to house sit. I would not be able to host a pet since I live in an apartment. However I can come to the house of the owner. I am able to match the animal’s needs whether that is relaxing on the couch or playing outside.

“Luella took such great care of my pup! My dog tends to be nervous around new people so Luella and I did a meet and greet before I left for the weekend. My dog seemed to take things well and I couldn’t be happier! Luella sent photos each visit assuring my girl was okay while we were away.”

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.

“Thanks Ryan, we appreciate knowing the dogs are in great care while we were gone!”

About: Growing up my mother bread and raised dogs, since the. I have been taking care of dogs my whole life, mine and others <3 <3 I work from home so I will be with your fur baby when they need, no need to worry about them! Plenty of time to spend with them I have a partially fenced yard but I will be taking them on walks mostly and or taking them to the dog park to play

About: I've had dogs my entire life and I've been caring for my own and my friends/neighbors since I was 9. When I watch my neighbors' dogs, I walk them, play with them, give medicine (if needed), and make sure they're not lonely! I love the dogs I watch as if they were my own. I am 22 years old and in college at Minnesota State University (majoring in Recreation and Parks Leadership Studies). I love all furry friends and will treat them as my own. I have one dog named Percy, he’s a 5 year old mixed breed that I adopted from BENCHS. He is full of energy and loves to run. I will be sure to keep your dog safe on walks and keep them happily entertained. When walking dogs, I make sure they're safe and will safely remove them as quickly as possible from a situation. (Example: The dog I'm walking doesn't get along with other dogs or has a high prey drive, I will redirect them somewhere else until it's okay to continue the walk)

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!

“Melissa was so attentive and kind checking in on our cats over a holiday weekend! She sent detailed updates and was great working with our diabetic cat and his needs!”

About: I have spent the past few summers doing overnight dog sitting in my hometown just about every weekend. I have been recommended and continue to get new jobs. I am a part time nursing student at Bethany Lutheran College so I have plenty of free time. I also serve in the army national Gaurd. I have now been dog walking and dog sitting for over 4 years in Mankato and absolutely love it. I would love for more opportunities. I am a part time student at Bethany Lutheran College and have classes in the morning so I have plenty of free time in the afternoon and overnight. I also get plenty of breaks between classes to check up. Over the past four summers of my dog sitting career I have had multiple clients that have me stay at their house over the weekends while they are gone. I love running and exercising so the animals are sure to stay active. I have not run into any problems in the years I have pet sit before.

About: I have several years of experience from taking care of my own pets as well as other's. I previously owned a cat with a medical condition, so I have medication experience and emergency experience. I have a cat of my own and she gets baths, so you know I am not afraid of a pet being a bit of a handful. But, I added an optional bathing/nail trimming fee of $10, because cat claws are a work hazard. Brushing I am happy to do, every time for free. I have a part time day job, so I am home most of the day after about 11am. I don't go out much, so while in my home, your pet would have constant attention and supervision. My home has two bedrooms, and I converted my second bedroom into a pet room. It provides plenty of space for cats to hang out, including blankets, toys, and a big window to sit in and watch the birds. The bedroom is sectioned off by a gate, but my whole home is open to your pet if they choose to come out. The gate is only there for your pet's privacy, as we have a tortie cat and a corgi dog of our own. They are both very sweet and get along well with cats. We also provide litter box (not litter), food dishes (not food), and toys. But, always feel free to bring your own. And, never hesitate to ask questions!

“Thank you Angela!!!! I appreciate your quick responses, pictures, comments, and sweet attention to Franni!!”

“Cassie was wonderful with my cats. She took the time to make sure they were safe. Cassie was great about communicating during the check ins. Highly recommend Cassie for taking care of your fur babies.”
