Dog Sitting Osseo

“We couldn't ask for a more reliable and caring person and will definitely book with them again! Loved the photos, our dog was so happy. Allowed us to enjoy the wedding we went to.”

About: I have two years of hands on pet care experience from nannying for a family with two children and they’re young puppy. I regularly walked, fed, played with, and cared for the puppy as part of my daily responsibilities. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. I am comfortable providing daily exercise, administering oral medication, and giving injections when needed. I’m responsible, attentive and genuinely love making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. As a recent college graduate, I currently have a flexible schedule while I search for a full-time position. I love spending my free time being active, going on long walks, jogs, and caring for dogs. So pet care is a great fit for my routine. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate a variety of walking and drop-in schedules, including daytime care during the week. I’m a strong communicator and detail oriented, so I take pet care instructions seriously and keep owners updated. I’m also a bit of a clean freak, so I always respect the clients home, clean up after the pets, and leave everything tidy. Most importantly, I prioritize safety, follow routines closely, and make sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“Sarah is a wonderful sitter for our cat Sam! We know Sam is well taken care of and we appreciate all her updates when she stops to check in on him.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I was lucky enough to care for my own senior dog, Rocky, who lived to 16 and was truly my best friend. That experience taught me how important patience, consistency, and paying attention to a dog’s individual needs are, especially as they get older. I also currently have a puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, potty breaks, crate routines, playtime, and keeping a consistent schedule. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from Bernese Mountain Dogs to Chihuahua mixes, so I’m comfortable with everything from big, energetic dogs to smaller puppies. I genuinely care about getting to know each dog and making them feel comfortable and loved. I’m attentive to their behavior, routines, eating and bathroom habits, and energy levels, and I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away. Whether your pup needs exercise, enrichment, companionship, or just some extra love, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I work full-time during the day, but I’ve intentionally built my schedule so I have plenty of availability for pet care before and after work, as well as on weekends. I’m available for morning and evening visits, walks, and drop-ins, and I’m happy to work with your dog’s regular routine. Having a puppy of my own has also made me very comfortable building pet care into my daily routine. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, so I’ll do my best to keep their normal feeding, potty, exercise, and play schedules while you’re away. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure I can give your pup the time and attention they deserve before accepting a booking. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for someone’s pet. I’ll always follow your instructions and your dog’s normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, medications if needed, and any specific behaviors or precautions you want me to know about. During walks and drop-ins, I keep a close eye on your pup and make sure they are secure before opening doors, gates, or leaving the home. I’m also mindful of things that could be unsafe for dogs, such as food, household items, or anything they might try to get into. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll make sure doors are locked, your pet is comfortable and secure when I leave, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pup is in good hands.

“My cats absolutely love Emily. They warmed up to her quickly and she's really good at learning their personalities. She sends lots of videos and photos of them.”

“Emma is great with cats and very friendly! She did an excellent job attending to the needs of my cats who needed separate meals. Her updates and pictures were so sweet and it’s clear that she loved animals!”

Rachael O.

“My cat was so calm when I came back from my trip. That tells me in her two 1-hour visits Alex gave him the TLC and attention he needed while I was away. She sent pictures and updates to me while she visited which was very nice. Highly recommend!”

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 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!

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like my own. I'm reliable, patient, and big on communication, so you'll get photo updates and a quick recap after every visit. Whether your pup needs a long walk, or a bathroom break, I'll keep them safe, happy, and well loved. Reach out with questions as I’ve had a dog since I was born! I work in the area and have flexibility to help out! I feel that getting dogs out on walks is very therapeutic and healthy for all! Walks and outdoor time are a high priority’s, besides cuddles and pets! I know each pet is special and has their own requirements, so feel free to ask or send the instructions over!

“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!”

“Peggy went above and beyond on taking care of my new 2 month old puppy, Coco. Coco is very needy and needs extra attentionand Peggy was able to use her experience as a dog owner to help with Coco. She also was willing to go and pick up the keys from work which I appreciated a lot as I live in an apartment. I will definitely recommend her! She’s super nice!”

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: 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.

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).

“I am just so impressed with Carter! They recently helped with Cali’s nail trim and were absolutely excellent. Carter is so professional and was so, so sweet with Cali throughout the entire visit. It is such a relief to find someone so kind and wonderful to work with. Highly recommend!”

“I felt more at ease traveling knowing that my cat was with Courtney! He liked her from the beginning and she did an amazing job looking after him and updating me every visit :)”

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.

“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.”
