“Emily was amazing with our our little dog. He is very apprehensive of people other than us, but Emily was kind and gentle and made sure he was well taken care of. We would definitely recommend her.”

““We couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for our furry family member! Aphra’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. Our pet’s Kyra and Brutus, were pampered and showered with affection during their visits. Aphra’s updates and photos were a heartwarming touch, providing us with much-needed reassurance. Her reliability and professionalism make her our go-to sitter from now on. Thank you, Aphra, for providing such exceptional care!””

“Desiree completed multiple drop-in visits (2x daily) during a week-long vacation for my two senior cats. Mr. Twix is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. Desiree was happy to stop over ahead of the trip to go over insulin and daily routines. I asked for photo updates and Desiree was happy to share! She graciously cleaned one poo mess and even helped reset the fuse box when the cat fountain stopped working. Twix and Butters were calm and happy when I arrived home. I felt comfortable on my trip knowing the kids were getting love in my absence!”

“Kiaira is an angel and a Godsend!! I don’t know what we would’ve done without her. Our dogs loved her. I will be booking her every time I need someone and she is available. Kiaira and her fiancé are truly a gift! We’re so grateful for them!”

About: I have lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have one dog and one cat. Playing with and loving them is a daily thing and I wouldn't want it any other way. I have also worked at a doggy daycare and hotel. Taking care of dogs was a job duty but I found that it lifted my spritits on even the hardest of days. I have prior commitments on Tuesdays at 11:30-12:30, Wednesdays at 10:30-11:30, and Thursdays at 12:00-2:00. However I can and will do visits and walks before and after those times. My dog has an invisible fence that goes into the woods behind our house. He loves the birds, squirrels, and deer. My cat is an indoor cat and he will stay that way. My cat is a grazer so there is always food in his dish and my dog eat twice a day. Grooming is a must because I have a slight allergy to pet hair.

About: I’ve had and loved animals my entire life. As an adult I’ve had 2 German shepherd’s and have done positive reinforcement training with both. My daughter also had a rescue dog that was very special. Currently I have dogs and a cat. I’m currently working full time as a nurse/clinic leader. I have the flexibility to work from home on occasion. I have a 11 year old son that is in sports so I need to work around his game schedule. I can provide and respect any safety recommendations as requested. I want you and your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

About: I first got my dog in 2017. I've taken care of her since she was a puppy until now as she's growing gray hairs on her nose. This opened the door to countless house/petsitting opportunities! I've taken care of puppies, dogs (trained and untrained), senior dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and even a gecko! I've taken care of special daily routines like feeding, medication, how to leave the house, and cared for severe separation anxiety. Every family wants their furry friend to be happy, safe, and healthy while they're away and I am confident I can provide that for your family and your pet! My schedule is fairly flexible as I am home most of the time! I can easily accommodate to the needs of you and your pets! :) I take my dog to the lake or for walks on a leash, and I was a family nanny who had 2 dogs in a fenced in yard. The older one loved to sunbath (the one with separation anxiety) and the younger one could chase the ball for hours! I make sure they stay busy and running around and after get lots of love and snuggles for a quick nap.

About: Come one, come all, your pet’s second-best friend is on call! 🐕🐈🐈‍⬛ Whether small and furry or tall and scruffy, scaly or cuddly, I’m ready to care for pets of every shape and size; and give them all the love they deserve! I’ve house-sat for a wide variety of animals, from classic companions like cats and dogs to more exotic friends like bearded dragons. Need someone detail-oriented? I’ve cared for pets with specific medication schedules, strict diets, and set mealtimes, so I’m more than prepared to follow special routines with care and consistency. From playful puppies who get into everything, to sweet senior dogs who need a helping hand, I’m here for the cleanups, the cuddles, and everything in between! I’m working full-time throughout the summer, but my schedule includes a flexible lunch hour—so I’m happy to check in on your pet if extra care is needed! Your pet’s safety and comfort come first! I treat every animal like my own: gently, patiently, and with total attention to their unique needs and personalities.

“Very responsive to messages. Dogs loved her!”

About: I have never met a pup that didn’t like me. I have a way with animals that is really unique. I have this unwavering calmness about me that makes all animals feel very comfortable around me. I have never been bitten and I’ve been around aggressive dogs on many occasions only to have gained complete trust of everyone of those dogs. My previous job required me to come into contact with all types of dogs and other animals. So I am very experienced and well-rounded. I am also the biggest animal lover there is. I have taken care of many dogs and other types of animals over the years. I have also had many of them as members of my family. I also treat my clients dogs as if they are my own with exorbitant amounts of love. Many people who know me have told me on numerous occasions that I need to stay working with dogs and other animals because it is my passion. If you were to have me watch over your furry family member you will not be disappointed with the service I provide, other than the fact that I will spoil your furry family member rotten, just kidding, kinda, lol. I currently work from home mostly on a part-time basis. Your furry family member will have my full attention all day throughout the day. They will have many potty breaks outside on a leash, of course. As well as being fed during their normal schedule times. As well as going for walks. I love taking dogs for walks. How I care for my clients furry family member is dependent on my clients requirements for care for their furry family member as to not break their normal routine at their home where they live. I am good with crating at night if that is what the client requires. Otherwise if the client is OK with their furry family members sleeping on the bed with me then I am good with that too. Because to me that is heaven. If they have medication that they need to take during certain times of the day I will make sure that they receive their medications. If they require a certain type of food to eat during their normal feeding times I will feed that to them. They will have several potty breaks throughout the day as well as last potty break before bed and a potty break right away in the morning after awakening. I will take them for walks unless of course, the owner requests that I don’t based on the health of the furry family member. If they need assistance with potty training, I will do that as well. Basically, they will receive the very best care they could possibly receive.

About: I have about 20 years of pet care experience with dogs, cats, and even horses. I grew up with a variety of different breeds of dogs and also have cared for dogs and cats for family and friends over the years. I currently have a wonderful ivory labrador retriever named Winnie who is 4 years old! Overall, I am familiar with all ages, many different breeds, and all behavior types. I always treat all pets like they are my own! I’m currently working full time in downtown Minneapolis from 8am - 4:30pm, Monday - Friday. I leave the house around 6:15am and someone is back in the home around 4pm. I have a fenced in backyard as well as my very friendly 4 year old lab to keep your furbaby company! I also am able to crate your pet if needed or allow them to be on all furniture. My home is their home!

About: I am a certified veterinary technician as well as certified in Companion Animal Rehabilitation Therapy. I have been working in the veterinary field for over 10 years now. I love any & all things outdoors! Especially hiking with my dog! I would love to meet and help your animal get outside for some fresh air! I can guarantee that your animal will be safe and comfortable with me walking by their side! I promise to not only exercise your pet but also give them attention & affection with our time together! I can also drop in for happy visits as well as medication administrations. Feel free to contact with any other specific questions you may have for me! I currently work part time as a Certified Veterinary Technician/Companion Animal Rehabilitation Therapist. I typically work Tuesday-Thursdays. More often than not I can walk your pet after work (6pm) However, Friday-Mondays I'm fairly opening. I plan to only be walking your pets. That being said I can always drop in for happy visits or to administer medications if needed.

I am unable to take pets into my home currently, but would love to help out with walks and drop ins to give your pet a break to play.

About: I have been around dogs and cats, of all ages, my entire life. Spending time and caring for them is therapeutic to me! My experience includes playing, walking, bathing, feeding, and some training. I work part time, so I have plenty of free time to assist you with your pets needs! I can be of service during the day. Firstly I will let your pet and I warm up to each other! Then assist to all their needs. Make sure to have play time. Take them on walks. Lastly anything else you suggest!
