About: Hello, my name is Kristina and I would love to become a pet sitter for you. I grew up in a family where animals were always a big part. From horses to dogs to cats, we always had furry friends around. I also grew up in a family where we were taught to take responsibility and care for our animals so I learned pretty young all the important things related to animal ownership. Some of the skills I possess are the ability to care for both puppies and older dogs. I have owned both and know that each has their own needs. I am also willing to administer medications and am a very observant person so I notice when things may not be quite right. I grew up with a veterinarian in the family and he taught me what to look for and what to do in case there is a problem. My goal is to make the time I spend with your pet comfortable for both them and you. As a pet parent, I know it’s tough to leave your four legged friend behind and I want you to be at ease about it. I currently work full time but work during the day so I have plenty of time during the early mornings and evenings to care for your pets. I would make sure to fit an extra-long play session in at night so that they can wear off that energy. Currently, I am not set up to care for other pets in my home as my older dog prefers her own space. As I know from experience with my own dog, animals are more comfortable in their home because it is more normal. My goal for caring for your animals in your home would be to give them as much normalcy in their routine as I can. I also would respect your home as it can be a bit strange letting someone come into it while you are gone. And of course, I would send as many pictures and updates as you want.

About: Ever since I can remember I have adored animals. I have always been the person who would go over to a friend's house and end up sitting by their pet the whole time! When I became old enough, I started volunteering at my local animal shelter and pet sitting as much as I could. At the shelter, I walked dogs, spent time playing with cats and kittens, and helped clean kennels and cages. I have a senior dog and senior cat that I have had their whole lives so I have extensive experience raising and training pets, as well as experience with senior animals. I also have a rabbit so am familiar with different kinds of pet care as well! I am currently unemployed, though I do have potential offers in the works, so for now I have full availability! I will update my availability as it changes. Due to having 2 senior pets that hate all other pets but each other, I am unable to offer boarding at this time. However, I will provide any sort of care necessary for your pets in your homes! I am very good at following directions if you have a list for me, but I am also good at just knowing what goes into caring for pets, such as watching for potty cues and noticing when they need mental or physical stimulation.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I will treat your pet like it is my own and you will have the peace of mind that they will be safe. I have had little dogs, middle and large. I also have had cats. I love to be outside in the summer at the park and trails. I like to walk and go to dog park. My full time job is a social services coordinator for 55 bed nursing home so being with animals is a hobby and interest not a job. I have flexibility and can work with people needs as far as hours. I am willing to travel 15 min outside of Willmar. Overnights on weekends only. Please contact me with any questions. Jen A.

About: I am a parent to 6 cats and 1 dog. I had 3 dogs but 2 recently passed after 12 and 14 years. I love all creatures! I feed the stray cats and opossums in our neighborhood. I work at a special needs/behavioral school and we’re off for the summer. My availability is open and my schedule is flexible. I’m available morning and night. I care for pets with the same love and attention I would give my own. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible whether that means regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or quiet cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I stick to their feeding, walking, and medication schedules, and always keep pets company so they don’t feel lonely while their family is away. Communication is key, so I send regular updates and photos to keep you reassured and connected. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities!

About: I'm a teacher and an animal lover! I'm great at caring for others. 😄 We have two friendly cats and would love to host some dogs. I'm available most weekends and all summer. I'm available to board your pet most weekends! You can always reach out even if my schedule says not available. Those that have boarded with us love that their pet was clean, relaxed and well cared for. My kids love animals and your pet will be given a lot of attention. We have two cats that we love dearly. Our animals are part of our family. We hope to meet a few nice families that want their pets to get some extra attention in evenings or weekends.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pup I meet—whether they’re full of puppy energy or enjoying their golden years. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior pups who need a little extra TLC and young puppies still learning the ropes. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs—whether that means administering medication, reinforcing training routines, or simply being their cuddle buddy while you’re away. I treat every dog like family, because that’s exactly what they are. 🐶🤍 I’m currently working a part-time job at the Dorthy Olson Aquatic Center so I have plenty of time in the morning before I head to work at 11:30, during our breaks, and after work at 7:30 to take care of your pup. I often have full days off where I can spend it loving your dog and taking them on walks. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, routine, and respect—for both your pup and your space. I follow your instructions carefully to keep your dog’s schedule consistent and stress-free, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, or medications. I keep a calm, pet-friendly atmosphere and always ensure doors, gates, and any potential hazards are secured. I understand that letting someone into your home requires trust. I treat your space with the utmost respect—cleaning up after myself and your pet, keeping things tidy, and keeping you updated with regular check-ins and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. 🐾

“We were very pleased with Rachel Ann. She spent a lot of time with our 2 cats and was not in a hurry to just get in and get out. She was professional and very personable. I’d recommend her to anyone who asks.”
