Dog Sitting in Oak Park Heights

“Thank you so much again for coming by for our two furbabies. They must’ve loved you right away seeing how they both greeted you! You’re amazing!”

Jennifer W.

About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats. Experience with both. We lost our dog in March so our house is feeling empty right now and would love to have your fur baby over to keep us company. I am also available for walks or drop ins in the evenings and weekends. I currently work full time, usually 8-4. I can come home on my lunch break for potty breaks. I only work 7 mins from home. I do have a 7 year old daughter that is in the home as well. We have a fenced in yard that is great for dogs to run. We also have a lot of windows and bird feeders for cats to sit and watch the birdies.

About: My lifelong passion for animals began on our family’s organic dairy farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin, where I learned the dedication required to care for animals of all sizes. Over the years, we have opened our hearts and home to our friends' pets, gaining extensive hands-on experience with everything from energetic dogs to gentle bunnies. As a homeschool family, someone is almost always home to provide continuous love, attention, and structured care. We spend plenty of time outside so your pet will have lots of opportunities to exercise and spend time in the sun. Your pet will enjoy full access to our house and a large, securely fenced yard perfect for safe outdoor exploration. Located in a peaceful, dog-friendly neighborhood, we offer a warm, reliable, and attentive home-away-from-home where your pet will be treated like family.

About: I have a very flexible schedule and I'm happy to be there for walks and potty breaks or house and pet sitting as-needed. Minnesota native. I look forward to hearing from you. I have a small dog of my own and I take her for walks as needed, although she has severe arthritis and needs daily medication and monitoring. I am accustomed to letting her out to go to the bathroom at least every 4-5 hours. She is my pride and joy, and I'll ensure your canine family member is treated with equal care. I also care for my mother's large dogs often and grew up with larger breeds. There are 3 dogs in my household already, so boarding your dog at my residence may be a challenge, but I have done it before with enough time for a couple meet and greets beforehand. I am more than willing to come to you for your overnight needs or for daily walks and playdates.

“Katelyn was great with the animals. Keep me in the loop and handled what was needed”

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: My family has had a dog that I’ve loved to take care of and spend time with since I was 8. Also I would take care of my family’s dog since friends’ dog whenever they were out of town as a kid. I’m currently back for the summer from college so I have lots of time to take care of pets both overnight and during the day. I won’t be able to take pets into my home but can go to the owners house night or day. If for any reason you don’t have a leash or dog treats or something along those lines I’ll be able to bring it.

“Daniela was awesome! On time and great communication. We will definitely be contacting her again.”

“Jamie is absolutely amazing. She really cares and you can tell. Conan (Vizsla - 5yrs old) fell in love with her the minute they met! And he was such a happy and tired boy when I returned home. Thank you Jamie for taking such good care of my baby!”

Sandra B.

“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Makayla was absolutely wonderful—super sweet and thorough when she came to meet our cat and go over all of the instructions. While we were away, she checked in every day with thoughtful notes and the cutest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought in some packages that were delivered, which was such a nice extra touch. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we’ll definitely be booking her again. We’re already planning to have her help with dog walking, too. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up on a farm and have had animals around my whole life. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and my work with people on the spectrum has helped me understand different personalities, routines, and comfort needs. I love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available most weekdays when I’m not babysitting my nieces. I spend a lot of weekends in the cities right now, but I’m occasionally available on weekends as well. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, park trips, or watching pets for a few hours at a time. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, quiet time, or just keeping them company and making them feel loved while their owner is away.

About: Do you need a trustworthy and reliable person to look after your beloved pet? Each pet has their own personality - and I adapt to what your pet needs. I am conscientious, animal-lover, non-smoking and trustworthy. I take great pride in walking, feeding and providing endless affection for your pet while you're away. I have a fenced in back yard for plenty of room for your pet to run and play. I am flexible in times and days and can correlate with your schedule. I currently have 3 cats in our home - and they all tend to be curious about the newcomer, but there has never been an issue. They tend to watch curiously - and then go about their own business. :) I look forward to hearing from you!

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages. I love going above and beyond for your pets! I will play with them, take them for walks, and do whatever best fits their needs and usual routine. I’m a teacher, so I’m currently on summer break. I’m very available and flexible with whatever your need is. I can change my routine to fit yours! I will follow all directions given to me regarding the care of your pet. I want to make them and you as comfortable and happy as possible!

“Rachel is amazing! She dropped by to see my cat and gave me great video and photo updates and was great with communication. Thank you again!”

About: I'm an artist and designer living in Stillwater. I work full time for myself, so have a flexible schedule. I also am a must love dogs kinda gal, my past dog was a reactive / high energy and needed at least 5 miles a day of walking, we got our current dog, Gordy, as a puppy and he is a significantly lazier guy and would rather lounge on the couch all day. I'd love to find some dogs who need more walking and need to burn some energy. I'm very patient and have experience with puppy's, shy dogs, reactive dogs, and high energy breeds. I work full time for myself but have an extremely flexible schedule, so could make nearly any time work. I'm available each day from 7am-10pm. We walk our dog twice daily and make sure he gets in a good game of fetch. I love to go for hikes and adventures, also happy to just do a long winding walk through a neighborhood. Happy to adjust to whatever your dog needs. I have a lot of experience with high energy breeds and it's my favorite activity to wear them out. My last dog (who passed a few years ago) was reactive, so I have a lot of experience with how to navigate // work with dogs who need a little extra attention.

About: I grew up with a wide variety of pets my whole life: dogs, ducks, chickens, and even a hedgehog! My love for dogs in particular is strong and rooted in my families history of owning them since I was a baby! We have dogs from all ages in our house- from senior dogs to just puppies, I am comfortable caring for any age and any breed! I work from home with very flexible hours so I am able to care for my pets diligently everyday without worry of potentially conflicting scheduling. My care typically involves feeding them, grooming them if needed, giving them their medication if necessary, play time whether that involves going on walks/runs, enrichment time, or practicing basic commands.

“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: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and communication I provide to every pet I watch. As the owner of two French Bulldogs who require medications and specialized care, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and follow routines exactly as instructed. I pay close attention to details, follow care instructions to the letter, and genuinely treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Friends and family constantly joke that in their next life they want to come back as one of my dogs because of how loved and spoiled they are. I also have a close personal friend who is a vet tech available to me anytime for added peace of mind, allowing me to provide an extra layer of attentiveness and support while caring for your pets. Pets are a huge part of my daily life and routine, and honestly, I couldn’t imagine life without them. My dogs aren’t just pets to me they’re family, companions, and the best part of my day besides my wife. My routine naturally revolves around making sure they’re happy, healthy, comfortable, and loved, from walks and playtime to cuddles and maintaining consistent schedules. I work remotely, which makes scheduling flexible and allows me to provide dependable care, consistent attention, and timely visits throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and giving them affection, companionship, and one-on-one attention, which is why caring for pets feels so natural to me. I truly believe dogs are some of the best humans we’ll ever meet, and every pet I care for will be treated with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. I provide attentive, loving care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. As the owner of two French Bulldogs who require medications and specialized care, I understand how important routines, patience, and attention to detail are when caring for someone’s pets. I follow all instructions exactly as provided, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and household routines, ensuring your pets experience as little disruption as possible while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, giving them plenty of affection, supervision, and one-on-one attention — which is why friends and family often joke that in their next life they want to come back as one of my dogs. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates for peace of mind, and I have a close personal friend who is a vet tech available anytime should I ever need additional guidance or support while caring for your pets.

“Vanessa is a true cat-lover and our cat was comfortable with her from the first time they met. She took excellent care of him while we were away on vacation, followed directions, and I would highly recommend her to other cat parents.”
