Pet Sitting Oakdale

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals my whole life. I was in 4-H for 8 years and grew up on a ranch. I have volunteered for Canine Companions as well. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for, play with, and love on your pups! Whether it’s early morning cuddles, midday potty breaks, or evening walks, I make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, I do everything I can to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, whether that includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, or medication. I take the time to get to know your pet’s personality and preferences to ensure they feel calm and cared for while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and treat it like my own—clean, secure, and full of love for your furry family member.

About: i have always enjoyed looking after animals, not only as a chore but as a hobby! Tending to animals and taking care of them has always been in my nature. I have watched animals for 2 years and been with animals for basically the entirety of my life (19) As of right now, I am working part time and have plenty time through out my week to take care and meet new furry friends! I have a fenced backyard with a side yard that also has a dog gate. I do have two other pups who i would not mind crating up for the needs of your pet(s)! lots of snacks and treats as well as bowls for food and water!

“Emily was great, all of our cats seemed great upon return. She was responsive and very thoughtful. She even thought to ask if she should do anything extra when a large storm was coming through.”

“Jessica is such a blessing to our a little puppy. She’s friendly, kind and great with dogs. She shows up on time and gives a detailed report of the visit. We are really lucky that she is the one caring for our puppy. It’s the next best thing to being there ourselves!”

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with hands on experience caring for friends’ and family dogs, as well as my own, using positive reinforcement at home. On walks, I focus on gentle, calm structure, making sure gear fits comfortably, reinforcing polite leash manners, and (if you’d like) practicing simple cues like “sit,” “wait,” and “leave it.” I’m patient with excited dogs and extra gentle with nervous pups, always prioritizing safety and giving plenty of space from other dogs and people when needed. Dogs who need extra space on leash are welcome, I’m comfortable with mild–moderate reactivity and I work at the dog’s comfort level using distance, calm handling, and positive reinforcement. You’ll get photo updates + a quick walk recap each visit, and meet & greets are always welcome. I’m available for dog walks Monday through Saturday, with flexible time blocks from morning to evening (6am–10pm). Sundays are my off day. I’m happy to work with one-time walks, weekly routines, and recurring midday potty breaks—whatever keeps your pup happiest and most consistent. Safety comes first on every walk. I double-check harness/collar fit, use secure leash handling, and stay alert to surroundings. I avoid on-leash greetings unless you request them, give dogs space from triggers, and keep walks calm and positive. I’ll follow your routine closely and send photo updates each visit.

“Came home to very happy, dry dogs and a clean house! We can tell from the pictures that both Milo & Bruno liked Alyssa a lot! Thank you, Alyssa!”

“She was great and communicative! Got back to me so quickly and was great with our dogs!”

About: I grew up raising and training puppies, taking care of older dogs and I have worked at a dog grooming place trimming nails and bathing dogs. I am currently unemployed, so I have free time to take care of your sweet babies whenever you need a sitter, I am there any day. When I'm at my clients home I will make sure to follow every rule and schedule the owner requires for all their pet related needs.

About: I’ve always had a deep passion for caring for dogs, and from a young age, I’ve made it my mission to learn everything I can about their well-being. Over the years, I’ve cared for senior dogs and understand the extra attention and patience they require. Additionally, I have some experience training dogs, which has given me a solid foundation in understanding canine behavior and using positive reinforcement. My priority is to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments and am fully capable of administering medications when needed. I pay close attention to the unique behaviors and preferences of each dog and am always happy to follow any specific instructions or routines you provide. During each visit, I approach every task with calmness, patience, and consistency—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or walks. I also ensure your dog’s environment is clean and comfortable, as I believe in creating a space where both you and your dog feel at ease. Since I'm currently taking my college classes online and am looking for a job, I have a flexible and free schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time throughout the day for your dog. Whether it's taking them for walks, providing playtime, or checking in on thrm regularly, I'm able to accommodate your dog's needs at any time that works best for you! While caring for pets in a client's home I will go the extra mile to ensure safety and security of both the pet and the home. I will give detailed pre-visit communication, making sure to speak about the pets routines, health, and any specific needs. I will also ask about home security details, emergency contacts, and preferences regarding care of the home. I will do safety checks for any potential hazard such as open windows or gates, making sure everything is secure. I will monitor any areas that you'd like off-limits to the pet. I will pay close attention to the pets behavior and their interactions with the environment. I will always lock up after each visit and always be prepared with emergency contact information and knowing where the nearest vet is.

About: Ever since I was younger I have had the passion for taking care of animals. Whenever any family left I was relied upon to take care of them. Each animal different experience and adding to my experience. I have now taken care of many different kinds of dogs and have catered to different detailed instructions to be followed by owners. I currently work full time as a paraprofessional. I get off at 2:15pm every day and have week breaks occasionally. There’s a lot of time to help out. I am able to preform any task that the owners would like me too. I can ensure crates will keep clean and tidy. Food and medicine is dispersed and schedules you make for your fur babies are maintained!:)

About: I have been fortunate to have owned pets my whole life, whether it be taking in strays or adopting. I can't imagine life without my fur babies! I am more than happy to be your pets home away from home while you are away, all while providing a fun and safe environment. I know from experience how hard it is to leave your pets behind, for that reason I am honored to take your babies in and ensure they are loved on and having fun to make the separation less painful! My husband is a local fireman and gone a lot, so I am more than happy to have extra furry company! I do have a lot of experience with many different personality types -for example consoling anxious pets. I have given oral medication as well as injections, and am more than happy to go that extra mile to ensure your pet is comfortable here with us. I have endless amounts of time to care for your fur babies! I am a stay at home mama, so you can expect your pet to have company for the entire duration of their stay with us here, unless discussed (if I have to leave for an appt etc), with that being said it’s important to host a pet who is comfortable with children:) Each stay is customized to a pets every need. Your fur baby will have complete freedom to roam my home as they please (just like their at your home), with constant supervision of course to promote safety. I do not crate pets, all animals are together 100% of the time so it’s important for me to board friendly/social pups! I try my best to be flexible with drop off/pick up times to make your life as easy as possible, but will have to work around my kiddos nap times/sleep as well. Our country home has a fenced backyard with plenty of space to play, we are currently redoing our front yard and will soon have a fenced front yard as well! My home is located 4 minutes away from the Oakdale Veterinary Group, also conveniently located nearby highway 108. I have two fur babies of my own who are super friendly and eager to share their space with another pet! My boy Brixton is a six year old chocolate lab, and my girl Shylo is a three year old Border Collie mix. Both are fixed and up to date with their shots. I think of my pets as my kids honestly, so you can expect your pet to receive the same love and attention, pets are allowed on all furniture! Our home is stocked with endless amounts of toys, dog beds to share, and all natural bones/treats so there's plenty to go around (with your approval of course). I also prefer to feed pets in separate areas to prevent any food thieves, more so to make sure all pets are comfortable and have their own space. Your trust is incredibly important to me so a meet and greet prior to your pets stay with us here is very beneficial, giving us the opportunity to get to know each other and for you to feel comfortable knowing that your pet is in good hands!

About: I grew up on my family farm surrounded by all types of animals big and small. I love dogs, cats, horses etc and I have a lot of experience giving medications for the ones who need a little extra TLC. I currently have the sweetest goldendoodle, named Potato, we love to joke and say he’s part human because he acts like one and is a big part of our family!! He would also love to join on any walks he’s welcome! I am currently working part time but still have a lot of availability to drop in on your loved pets or go on some walks! Taking care of your pet the way you care for them is my goal. I want you and your pet to feel comfortable with me and also not feel a big change in their own personal schedule!

About: I have 3 golden doodles who are my bundles of joy! After them, I can handle any dog, mine are super energetic and crazy!! I also have experience dog sitting multiple family dogs by providing daily care, walks, and exercise. I know how to mentally and physically exercise your dog by going on sniff walks, mental treat games, and/or playing fetch. I work from home so my availability is pretty open to do drop-ins or even a walk with your dog to get my legs moving. I will work my schedule around your dog, since they will be my priority! I will be on high alert to make sure your dog is comfortable and feels safe with me! I will give your dog all the loves it can get in this warm environment!

About: All my life I’ve had animals . I’ve had everything from Min Pins to Pitties. They rely on us and deserve the best care and environment. I am currently a stay at home mom. I am home all day except to drop off and pick up my child from school. Weekends are usually spent at home relaxing in the backyard. I have a fence in backyard with a doggy door that allows animals to come and go through out the day. I let dogs on the couch to cuddle. 🥰

“Danielle took special care of my two Boston Terrier's. She gave me updates, asked questions with great communication while I was out on a business trip. I had no worries, and my babies are happy and healthy! Thank you, Danielle! You are a rockstar, and truly cared for my precious little babies.”

Amber W.

“Emily did a fantastic job with our dogs. This was our first time leaving our pups and we felt completely comfortable after meeting Emily. We would 100% use her again!”

About: I've had pets my entire life and have always loved animals and been drawn to take care of them. I have two boys, two cats, and a beautiful puppy but still have so much love to give! Being a stay at home mom gives me plenty of time to take care of pets in my home, drop in for visits at your home, or take them for a walk once a day. My house is always full of energy and fun, but I also have enough room in my house to give each animal the space they might need. I'm a stay at home mother of two and taking care of pets fits well into my schedule and I also love to do it. Whether it's taking them for a walk with my kids, coming over to visit and feed them after my husband gets home from work, or taking care of them at my home, I can fit almost any care into my schedule. I have a home with lots of space and a very friendly puppy and Two cats. I have puppy proofed my home and have gates throughout to keep pets separate if needed. I also have a fenced back yard with grass to keep them safe during potty breaks. I have two young boys that love to play and will help to keep your pets entertained and engaged. If I'm visiting a pet at their own home, I love to take the time to stay and visit for a bit of play. I hate to just feed and leave so I always make sure they get some bonding time in after I clean up any messes and feed them.

About: Growing up on a ranch, we always had pets. The large variety and smaller as well. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs. As I got older I began babysitting for people who also had dogs and helping with their care as well. And after I moved out I began working with a few ball pythons on my own. Your pets will be safe with me. I’m currently working Monday-Friday roughly 7 hour days. Weekend boarding would be the best but if your pet and you are comfortable being left alone for up to 7 hours we could also schedule during the week. I do have 2 sons, so it would be ideal if your pups/animals were kid friendly if they will be coming over here. Otherwise I spend my time working on my undergraduate and would love to spend some time loving on your doggos too. I have a fenced in front and back yard, plus two boys who would love to spend time with your furbabies and also know the meaning of giving your animals space when needed. I don’t have any animals of my own, so we wouldn’t have to worry about them getting along.
