Dog Sitting Osseo

“We love Amanda!! Just came home from our second trip where we had her visit our two beloved fluffy kitties. They were calmer than ever when we got home. We loved seeing all of the great pictures she took while we were gone, and she makes the whole process very easy. We will absolutely continue to hire her in the future!”

“Abigail was fantastic! It was an initial meet and greet for her to watch our pups and house for a night, and our dogs loved her IMMEDIATELY. She asked all the right questions, and made us feel certain that our pups and house were in great hands.”

About: From dogs to cats (and even a bearded dragon), I've done it all. I understand how nerve racking it can be to leave your animal with someone you barely know so I'll do the following to make sure you can feel confident your pets are being well taken care of while you're away: - Multiple updates throughout the day confirming eating and bathroom habits - Pictures of the activities we've been up to - A detailed daily plan developed to make sure we never miss a beat with their normal routine Reach out so we can develop a plan that meets your needs! Im free for walks after work during week days which is typically around 5 PM (depending if I'm working from home or on-site). On Thursday and Friday, I have midday availability depending on travel distance - reach out and we can talk through details! I'm much more free on weekends so with notice I can make just about anything work! As an owner of a very large (German Shepard/Great Pyr mix) dog, I'm very familiar with the worries of a pet parent. I will treat your animal like my own and can handle even the largest of them (including pullers and reactive dogs).

About: I have experience working with all kinds of animals! I have a tortoise, four ducks, and three dogs at home. I’ve had many other animals in the past! I’m currently working part-time split shifts at an elementary school. I recently got a second job at a daycare in Blaine. Before you book with me, know that I won’t be able to stop by mid day during the weekdays! My work hours are 7am-6pm Monday-Friday. Weekends I am available all day! I’m able to provide whatever you will need for me to best take care of your pets! Let me know if there are special accommodations your pet needs!

“Able to win the heart of our shy cat while we were away!”

About: I love being around dogs and treat them as family, as they should be! I currently have 3 fur babies, two back labs who are brother and sister and a pitbull. They are my world and I will treat your dogs as such as well. Every dog deserves love and cuddles! I've worked with puppies through senior dogs and understand that every pup has its own personality and needs. I have experience giving medication as my girl receives daily meds for her Addisons. I love being active with dogs whether that's playing catch in the backyard, tug-o-war or going on long walks. I can't wait to meet your dog! I currently work from home so if I'm staying at your place of residence for an extended stay your family member will receive all the attention needed during the days. I have experience crating dogs if needed while I stay at your home. Because I work remotely I'll be able to play with and walk your pet throughout the day.

“Cayla was wonderful. We were in a crunch looking for care for our fur babies and she came in clutch. She was timely and loved and cared for them as we hoped. Thank you Cayla!”

“Thank you for helping out during the holidays! You were reliable, communicative, and took great care of the dogs. I really appreciate it. Definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve always had animals to take care of since I can remember. Both cats and dogs, and even some other small animals/exotic pets. I worked at a boarding facility with daycare, and I have fostered many dogs in the past. I’m an animal science major and have many hours of experience working with animals of all kinds. I have worked with reactive dogs and I’m always up for keeping your routine consistent with any training you might be working on as well! I will be working a summer job along with pet-sitting this summer. I will only be working max 8 hour shifts and will always have time to care for my own pets, along with yours. If you choose me to take care of them. I have an unfenced yard, but I do have a tether that I can attach a dog to. But of course, I can walk them around the yard on a leash, if that works better for the dog! A typical day with my dog looks like: Wake up and immediately feed him and replenish his water, then out for a potty break. We then spend some time relaxing while I get ready for the day. If he wants, we spend some time inside playing with toys. If I need to go to work, he resides in the common areas of the house. He will always get let out before I leave. If we spend a lot of time inside/if I have to work, I’ll get home and we usually go for a walk to get some energy out. We usually do some training and other daily activities either on the walk or after. Then in the evening he eats again, we go out for a potty break. Normally my dog doesn’t have an overabundance of energy, so we spend the rest of the night cuddling on the couch.

About: I love all animals! I feel confident navigating different doggy behaviors and personalities🐶 I raised a Shiz tzu puppy, volunteered at Dunn County Humane Society in college and recently fostered a staffy for 3 years. I worked with 3 trainers with him and learned a lot about reactive behaviors and how to navigate them! I have dog sat for friends and family and am looking to help others! I work 10 mins from my apartment home and can give lots of potty breaks and love to your pups! I am close to the arbour lakes walking path and love a four legged walking partner! I understand that pet parents differ and want to work with you to determine what works best. Some dogs love their kennels, some don’t. Some have strict routine and some do not. Please let me know! I have a pet spa and am able to return the extra squeaky clean at a charge.

About: I am a stay at home mom of 2 boys, with a flexible schedule. I have owned dogs since I was 6 years old, and have had 3 different rescue dogs of my own in the last 13 years. Every dog I’ve owned has gone through at least 2 levels of basic dog training and/or agility classes. I love dogs of all breeds, and meeting them at their energy level. I can sit on a couch and offer cuddles or go for miles walking out those with the highest energy (like my husky/terrier mix needs). I’m happy to help fill in the gaps for you when you can’t be there for your fur baby. I stay at home, with a very part time job. I have a flexible schedule! I am most available during the day when my boys are at school. My current dog, Nike, has very high energy. We go for daily runs/walks or frequent our favorite dog parks to ensure his exercise needs are met. I am a firm believer that the more those dogs physical needs are met, the better behavior you will see! He’s my best friend, and I can bring him along for socialization on visits, or leave him behind so I can ensure your dog gets all my attention.

About: I grew up in a home with multiple dogs, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I've also watched friends' dogs and cats over the years, from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles. I'm comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I don't currently have any pets of my own, which means your furry friends get my full attention and care while they're with me. I love giving animals a calm, safe, and loving experience. I am in school part-time taking online classes and working part time Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 8 hour shifts. Outside of those commitments, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and consistent care, and I’m always happy to discuss specific scheduling needs to make sure it’s a great fit for your pet. When I'm caring for pets in a clients home, I follow the routines they're used to so they feel safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep your home tidy, respect your space, and give your pet plenty of love and attention while you're away.

About: Hi there, I am a certified veterinary technician, I graduated from Minnesota School of Business. I would love to help out taking care of your pet! I love animals- of course. I've grown up with dogs as well as rodents and I currently have a cat, 2 dogs, and three chickens. I have been a CVT for 7 years, I have volunteered at the humane society as well as feline rescue. I also have plenty experience pet sitting, and am comfortable giving meds. I can pet sit in your home, or I can stop in up to twice daily. I am a full time CVT so I do have a full work day 5 days a week. I have every other weekend off. I am able to provide care before and after work, with more flexibility on my weekends. I am very conscious of locking doors and gates. I always pay attention to medication label directions, as well as keeping potentially dangerous items out of reach (I have a counter surfing lab).

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs for a few years for friends, family, and neighbors who relied on me to walk them and feed them and just keep them company I am currently available anytime during the week so I have plenty of time Monday through Friday to hang with your pups and bring them on walks I have a back yard and I have a dog that will give your pups some company that loves to go on walks and play

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life. In the past 3 years we’ve welcomed almost 50 fosters into our home, many with behavioral issues. We currently have two rescues that are our life - and we want to welcome your pup into our home. We are heavily involved in the rescue world. We crate train, work on obedience, have the tools for a smooth transition, and go on walks multiple times a day. I currently work from home and am active on breaks with walks, training, and providing puppy love. We believe in routine and keeping dogs on a schedule. We watch our dogs, crate and rotate if needed, and always walk with a secure harness or harness lead. We allow pups to transition as long as they need as being away from home can be stressful!

About: I am currently a student at the University of Minnesota studying Animal Science and Veterinary Care, and I am looking to gain additional hands-on experience working with animals. Since I am unable to have pets where I currently live, I am excited for opportunities to care for and spend time with companion animals through dog walking and pet sitting. I have experience caring for family pets, as well as working with dogs in a doggy daycare setting. My experience includes feeding, walking, basic training, cleaning, and providing overall daily care. I am passionate about animal care and would love the opportunity to work with more companion animals while continuing to build my experience in the veterinary field. I am dependable, patient, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently a full-time student, which gives me less of a flexible schedule but I still want to do my best in dedicating additional time to caring for animals. I am hoping to gain more hands-on experience interacting with pets and would love the opportunity to best accommodate new clients and their scheduling needs. Through my veterinary studies, I have been learning about the basic needs and proper care required for animals, including health, safety, and daily routines. In addition, I have experience dog sitting for family members and working at a doggy daycare, which has helped me better understand the importance of safe, attentive, and compassionate pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I focus on providing proper exercise, feeding, supervision, cleanliness, and plenty of attention while ensuring their overall safety and well-being.

About: I’ve been around dogs & cats my entire life. I volunteer at the animal shelter where I walk, feed, and love the animals. It’s safe to say your pet will get plenty of love and affection from me. I’m currently working full-time, but I have plenty of time for evening walks on the weekdays and full availability on the weekends. I will always make time for a furry friend! I live near plenty of walking trails and LOVE being outside with the animals. We do have 2 cats at home and we are unsure how they get along with other cats & dogs. Due to this, we are unable to care for pets at our home.

About: My dogs have always been very high needs growing up, so I have a lot of experience working with different diets, medications, and needs. I'm an athlete, so I can take them out for long periods of time to get exercise as needed, which can be really helpful for hyperactive dogs who have to be cooped up during the day. I'm also entirely capable of caring for senior dogs, I can take things at their pace and make sure they're comfortable and happy. I am currently a full time college student, but I have a lot of open time either between classes or after them. I commute to the Twin Cities from the suburbs, so I can easily travel wherever I am needed to be able to check in on or take care of your furry friends. Being in the cities with my own car I can take dogs out for walks around the lakes or down some of the trails nearby so they (and I) can get some proper exercise before my classes. When caring for pets, I always make sure they are getting plenty of time to move around, especially if I'm just dropping in to check on them, but regardless of the need. I like to keep a checklist of what I need to get done, as well as just having a bit of time to play with or pet them. I can take pets out for walks on foot or with my roller skates, which lets me go longer distances with them. I make sure to clean up any messes I might make, putting everything back as I found it and keeping things nice and tidy for when you get home again. I'm confident staying in new places, and can make sure everything stays safe in your home or space during my time there.
