Dog Sitting North Saint Paul

“Jill is so sweet and took great care of our kitties while we were out of town over the holidays! She was amazing about communication and we will absolutely use her again!”

Kirsten P.

“Stephanie took excellent care of our senior cat. Stephanie befriended our shy but super social cat during the meet and greet — she has the gift! I’m so happy our cat has a new bestie and I can confidently travel knowing she’s happy and cared for. Stephanie kept track of her eating and bathroom habits, and shared updates so we could adjust her meds. I loved the detailed daily updates and photos. I have the next visit booked already!”

Danielle D.

“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat while we were out of town. We loved getting our daily Pickles update and she was a happy cat when we got home!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication and patience. I have taken care of dogs ranging from 2 years or to 17 years old. I have experience with older dog and having to clean up accidents as well. I currently have a full time job that I work from 8:30-5pm Monday-Thursday, 9-3 on Fridays. With early communication I am willing to make adjustments to accommodate if it makes sense. I would prefer to watch your pet in their environment. I think it helps them feel more comfortable with me and being in a space they know.

“Madeline was great! I had a last minute need for a drop in visit and Madeline was very quick at responding and accommodating. My cat does not like other people but he came out of hiding when Madeline visited which speaks volumes!”

“Erin is friendly, professional and reliable. It gave me a great deal of peace of mind knowing that our kitty was in good hands during our vacation.”

About: I use to walk dogs for a part time job when I was younger. Have always had one or more dogs in my house hold. Also use to work at a pet store that was very into teaching about dogs health and fitness. I currently work full time but need more fun in my life. Dogs have always been there for me in my life and make my day better and more relaxing. I am great with keeping your pet safe from others on walks on roads. I know dogs take time to warm up to some people and have the patience to work with them to make them feel safe and trust me.

About: I grew up with dogs, and have had dogs and a cat of my (our) own for nearly 12 years. I have also fostered dogs and cats for the past decade (~30 animals), and am comfortable with many types of animal personalities, including reactivity, shyness, and anxiety. I will meet your pet where they’re at, and let them lead our interactions. Currently have 2 senior dogs and am comfortable with medication administration. I work hybrid and am flexible with my schedule. I work from home generally M/W/F and am generally much more flexible those days. I am in the office Tues/Thurs but generally only gone up to 6 hours at a time. Much of my work is event based, so there are also times evenings/weekends I will need to be gone, but generally 3-4 hours. In general 6 hours would be the max time between potty breaks, etc. I am currently only available to sit in your home or for drop in visits (we have a full house with our fosters). I will treat your home as a guest in it; I’m tidy and will clean up after me and your pets! What is helpful for me to know is what your pet’s typical day looks like, if they have any favorite or important parts to their routine, and ways they like to get stimulation (walk, play, puzzles). Where do they sleep? As much information as you can tell me about your pet is better so I can keep things as normal for them as possible!

About: I grew up with Mastiffs, Rottweilers, Labs, Malinois and Cane Corsos. I love small dogs just the same, but giant dogs require a special skill set as they often don’t realize their size and strength. For my day job I run my own private teaching business, where I practice the service and patience that I bring to my pets and pet owners. I make my own schedule as a freelance musician and private teacher so I have lots of flexibility. Generally mornings and mondays and fridays work best. Lots of experience walking, exercising, and feeding large and giant dogs, can crate or kennel if needed. As of right now I don’t do overnights, but might consider offers.

About: I have owned a dog since I was 3 years old and never looked back. I am the go to person for my friends and family when they are out of town. I will take care and love your best friend just like they are my own. "Dogs are not our while life, but they make our lives whole." I currently work at a group home doing a few overnights a week and also work part time as a server. I am available most days for walks and drop ins. I have a 1 year old German Shepherd who is very sweet and playful, so if your pup is friendly, we can discuss doggy day care as well :) I have a fenced in yard and one dog of my own (German Shepherd) who is very playful, and my roommate has a Grey Hound who is pretty lazy and just lays on the couch all the day. My dog enjoys playing fetch in the yard, going to the dog park, walking the trails by our house, and snuggling up on the couch. Please let me know if your dog is reactive when going on walks, along with if they are friendly towards people and other dogs, as I'm sure there will be plenty of people asking if they can pet your dog! I am guilty of being that annoying person who always asks if I can pet a dog lol My dog is my fur baby and I know how hard it is to find someone who you can trust to treat and take care of your fur baby just like your own. I will spoil and give them love just like they were my own, and just like they deserve :)

About: I grew up having all kinds of pets, from small rodents, birds, cats, dogs, geckos, and fish. My love for animals has continued throughout my adult life and my comfortability around all kinds of animals is second to none. I work in private childcare, and am used to both entering into others homes and being respectful and trustworthy, and also provide loving and attentive care in my own home as well. Whether it's walks, cuddles, or reassurance that their parent will be back, your furry, cold-blooded, or feathered baby will be in good hands with me. Strong communication skills as well and as many photo updates as the pet parent would like! Monday through Thursday I leave around 7:45am for work and am back by 11:45 and home the remainder of the day! My 10 year old pup enjoys this schedule 😉 Friday through Sunday I’m home full-time. Lots of time spent playing, cuddling, and spending time relaxing together. I have a 10 year old female (fixed) 40 pound dog that is as sweet as can be and gets along with all animals! No prey drive whatsoever. We love walks, being outside, and cuddling on the couch at the end of the day.

“Jamie was awesome! She did a drop in to feed and walk our dog while we were away. She was very communicative and friendly. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

Gina F.

“Angela was great! She is very experienced and very comfortable with any and all instructions I gave! She took great care of my cats, and I never worried about them while I was gone!”

Olivia F.

“Nicole was great! Went above and beyond when I had a power outage scare while out of town. Great communication and on-time drop ins.”

About: I have lived with cats since I was 14 years old and have looked after cats and dogs independently since I was 16. I am comfortable with administering medications from my time working at Grand Avenue Veterinary Clinic. I typically work a week day that leaves me away from the house from the hours of 7am to 7pm. Please consider this when determining if I would be a good option for caring for your furry family! As I will be in your and your pets home, making sure everyone is comfortable with me in the space! My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away. If you have any specific concerns about going on walks or interacting with other humans and pets please let me know so I can abide by what works best for your family. I have been trained on how to pill animals who are nervous about medication to ensure that your pet recieves their medication and remains safe and supported in the process. If you should ask me to take care of your home I make sure to grab the mail daily and follow the motto of leave it better than you found it! I want to have you to come home to a clean house.

About: I had a few dogs growing up (a cairn terrior and a yellow lab) and have been dog sitting for the last 6 years off and on from anywhere from a few hours up to 3 months. I work from home Mondays and Thursdays and have a typical 8-430 schedule. My significant other, Jake, has a flexible schedule as well for drop off/pick up times. While working from home I am available to take doggos on walks/runs and play! For days that I am in the office, I am able to run home on lunch for potty breaks if the doggo needs! I have a house with a large yard. While it is not fenced in, there is plenty of room to run and play on our 30 ft cable. I have a 12 year old son who loves to play with and love on doggies. I live near a lake and a park with a swimming beach if your doggo likes swimming! (I am more than happy to gives baths as well) I will also take lots of photos and have open communication so that owners can know their furbabies are having fun and in good hands!

“Anna was fantastic! Not only did she take care of my cat, but she also took great care of my rabbit and gecko! Highly recommend her!”

“Joel provided an amazing drop-in service for us twice daily for 6 days for our 4 senior Dachshunds. He communicated with us each time he stopped by and sent pictures of the pups eating, getting some outdoor play time and settling down for naps until his next visit. They truly bonded with him because he gave them the kind of attention they crave—food, belly rubs and back scratches. One of the pups is blind and he helped her up and down the steps to walk in the grass. We could enjoy our trip knowing our pups were getting great care and attention while their needs were being met. Very satisfied with the job Joel did for us!!”

About: My name is Kaitlyn & our family has a laid back 65lb pup named Lily(7) and a friendly high energy pup named Tater. We would love to welcome your dog to stay with us while your away! I foster dogs while they are looking for fur-ever homes so we are no stranger to other pups spending time here and showing them patience and love while they get acclimated. I have experience fostering nine 6 week old puppies, 3 year old dogs, Caring for elderly dogs with additional needs, reactive dogs, and everything in between. Our dogs eat raw food and I am very familiar with nutrition, supplementing, and holistic health so I am prepared to either help your dog stick to their raw diet, any other diet you've chosen for them, or giving medications/supplements as needed. We have a 5 foot fully fenced yard on a 1.5 acre lot so you can be assured they are getting plenty of exercise while your away as well! I only work 2 days in the office and we like to spend a lot of our free time outside. We love hiking + have hiked throughout MN, SD, CO, UT, FL, and lots of places in between. We have lots of trails left to cover, and would love your pup to join us! I currently work 2 days a week, and my husband has flexible hours. We balance our schedules to ensure your dogs needs are met. If they are not barkers, they are also welcome to come with me to my office! We have a 5 foot fully fenced yard - we always supervise time in the yard, and every gate is locked with a padlock that only my husband & I have the code for. We also have a dog room and kennel run so if your dog wants extra unsupervised time outside, they are welcome to use the doggy door to access the 10x10 dog run. We kennel our dogs overnight while we can't keep an eye on them. We have plenty so no need to bring your own :)
