Pet Sitting Osseo

About: Hi! I’m currently available as a drop-in sitter with an open and flexible schedule, and I would love to help take care of your pet(s)! I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs since I was a kid, and I’ve also been the sole owner of a cat for 4 years now. All pets receive the upmost care on my watch, and I would treat your pet as if it were my own. I’m excellent at maintaining schedules and routine care (feeding, medication, some grooming etc.), following instructions, sending updates, being reliable and adaptable, and overall ensuring your pet’s needs are met. I’m very flexible and available any day of the week and most times of the day, but I would prefer at least a day’s notice beforehand for when you need care. In my home, there’s my 1 cat as well as 2 dogs that are my parents’ dogs. With my cat, she has a daily feeding schedule (4 divided meals at 4-hour intervals) that I’ve maintained for the last few years, and I also scoop her litter daily, keep up with her routine care, and make sure she gets lots of attention and stimulation. I also help with my parents’ dogs when needed as well such as letting them outside, feeding them and providing water when needed, taking one of them on walks, etc.

“Lauren was prompt and gave us feedback and pictures every day. It was great knowing our dog was in the hands of a professional while we were away. I recommend Lauren highly!!”

“First time using Rover in a pinch! Kelly was wonderful with our two toy poodles. We were gone all week and Kelly took them out, did walks and lots of snuggles! They loved her and it was obvious in the pics she sent! We’ve already booked her for another time!”

About: Hi! I am a dependable, experienced pet lover who treats every animal like family. I grew up on a farm with 3 boxers, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. As an adult, I have had a Boston Terrier, two French Bulldogs (one is still with me at home), several cats, lizards, fish, and I currently care for a Koi pond-so I am very comfortable with a wide range of animal personalities and needs. I work from home, which means your dog will get plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day. I have a very friendly French Bulldog named Bubble (age 7), who loves having visitors, plus a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I am close to several walking paths near a lake, and dogs are allowed all throughout my home. I know firsthand how hard it is to leave your pet when you're busy or away-I've been there myself while working long hours in the office plus having to commute. That is why I am committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved and engaged. I promise to keep them happy, healthy, and having fun while they are in my care. I offer walks, daycare, and overnight stays in my home. I am happy to follow your pet's routine closely. I can also handle feeding schedules, basic medications, and provide regular updates with photos so you always feel connected and know what is going on. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities-and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. I would love to meet you and your pet! I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I am home most of the day already with my dog -unless having to run errands. The same holds true if I am watching your pet. I will be around the house with your pet all day! I have a 2 floor home, fenced back yard, small shallow koi pond, doggy door, and gates at the top of the stairs for pets.

“Jenna did a great job taking care of our deaf cat. She provided great feedback on the Rover cards and cleaned up after he spit up a hair ball. Would highly recommend!”

“Amanda was a great visitor to our kitty! She was thorough in her check ins and followed all of our instructions for feeding/playing. Our kitty loved playing and snuggling with her! Amanda is a great helper if your kitty could use a visitor while you’re away!”

“Kevin is great. My sister and I have 2 dogs who were rescued from puppy mills but are still very nervous and afraid of people. Kevin was very understanding and was gentle and great with them. I also have a cat that is 18 and Kevin always spends some time with her, Kevin is very responsible and dependable.”

About: I love dogs and recently had to say goodbye to my beloved Lab mix, Bear. I’m not ready to bring a new dog into the family yet, but I’m eager to get to know and care for your beloved furry family members! I grew up with a Dalmatian named Pal, a Heinz 57 called Skipper, and have loved many other dogs along the way, including Maddy, Blu, Mercedes, Birdie, and Moomin. I’m currently working part-time and eager to fill some time meeting, playing with, and caring for your beloved pets so you have peace of mind. I’ll come to you and check in with your dog(s), allow them to relieve themselves, take them for a walk, ensure their water bowl is full and give them some loving attention when you can’t be there.

About: Accepting daycare and drop-in visits! All dogs should be fully house trained if daycare is required. We are not able to accept potty pad trained dogs in our home. Care of dogs has been with me since birth. There has not been a single year in which I did not own at least one dog. My wife and I both work full time from home and have one dog of our own. Loving and caring for dogs is built in second nature for us. Our entire daily routine and schedule revolves around making sure they go out whenever they need and always get ample time running, playing, and of course, resting! We have ~8,000 sq. ft. of fenced in backyard. Our yard is well maintained and treated for all pests. We have ~2,500 sq. ft. inside our home that will be available at all times for dogs to run, play, rest, and even watch a movie on our projector screen downstairs. The fence is vinyl and 6 ft tall for the majority and only the gates are 4ft chain link. We can offer crates, blankets, dog beds, and fans to keep the large dogs cooler if needed. We charge $50 per daycare stay...Here's why: - Extremely flexible and no-nonsense pickup and drop off scheduling. (no extra charges for early or late pickup/arrival) - 1 daycare stay is considered up to 12 hours -At our house your dogs might as well be royalty. They can go outside all day long and sleep anywhere they like and it will never cost you more. -We DO NOT watch more than 2 dogs at a time (for our safety, your dogs safety) - No kennels (unless this is their routine) - No cement walls - No anxiety from 50 other dogs barking -We will let them have an entire bed or a couch downstairs, or set up a kennel for them if they prefer to sleep enclosed. -We are rarely away at any point and the dogs have constant attention with friends to play with -We will occasionally walk your dog without distance limits or up-charges if we decide to go out -We will sit and eat with your dogs and even hand-feed them if they are nervous -We will send you photos and videos... more than you probably want -You can bring an entire car of equipment and toys for your dogs and we don't care, we will be standing there at the door ready to help. - We believe we provide an astronomically better environment than any local daycare place ever could, while also placing our home in the crosshairs of pet damage and accidents every day - This is our home, where we live and work full-time. Dogs can cause extensive damage and unexpected repairs and maintenance, especially if dealing with separation anxiety. - We do not charge more for holidays - We do not keep 100% of what is charged (Rover receives 20%) We are both home full-time and rarely leave for anything longer than 2 hours. Our life is simply built around our dogs and their needs. When we watch other dogs we simply pretend like they are our own and adapt the same free and open-ended schedule to them! We have a large fenced in yard (8,000 sq ft) and allow pets on all furniture, and access to roam the entire house. If there is ever a time when two dogs may not bond well, we simply utilize 1 of our 4 levels to separate them for brief periods or for their entire stay.

About: I have had dogs & cats as pets since I was a child, and have a lot of experience in caring for all types of dogs/puppies and cats. I live in an apartment and due to space constraints cannot have my own currently - but I very much miss being able to play and take walks with a pup! So this has been best case scenario for that. I work full time on the week days and have the evenings for walks or visits. The weekends are very open for me, as well. I treat every dog and cat I meet as my own, and I have experience with larger breeds that pull and jump. I can adjust to most all situations and personalities.

“Amber did such a great job taking care of our two kitties while we were away. She was so communicative and sent photos of the time she spent feeding and playing with them. That put our mind at ease, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation knowing our kitties were in good hands Thanks Amber!!”
