Dog Sitting Otsego

“This is the second time booking with Danielle, and she is amazing. Our pups can be quite obnoxious, and she is amazing with them. So thankful to have a sitter I can trust.”

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.

“Brooke is so good with our three big dogs, including one very shy and skittish pup. Brooke was patient and communicative, we appreciate her!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve looked after dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, helping with walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure both you and your furry friend feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide dependable care for your pet. My availability varies by the week, but I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting whenever my schedule allows. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll provide updates and photos during each visit so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have owned and taken care of numerous breeds of dogs. They range from all types of bully breeds, various mastiff breeds, terriers, and more. I am very comfortable with multiple types of dog personalities and have also trained several dogs. I am retired and able to spend quality time with your pet. Your pet will be in my home with me and my wife. I love to spend my time outside or relaxing in my large yard! I can offer numerous potty breaks and am flexible with various schedules. We live on a lake with 3 acres of land. Your pet will be one of our family members and treated well with lots of playtime and cuddling. I currently have one dog who is very friendly with other dogs. I have a large yard with alot of wooded areas and very low traffic streets around me. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on beds as we love to cuddle. However we follow your wishes, meaning if you prefer no bed then they will have plenty of dogs beds on the floor to sleep on.

“Annika and Matt are AWESOME! Great pics and updates and Simba was a super happy boy! Thrilled that I founds such beloved caretakers, so I can travel worry free.”

About: I’ve had various of animals my whole life. I’ve had animals of all scales, from cows & horses, to lizards & ferrets. As well as training various of dogs from all different breeds, I understand your “scary” dog, as well as your sweet little lap dog! Between my previous employment at a boarding facility and my current employment at the animal shelter, i’ve worked and handled many different personality’s and breeds of dogs and cats. Hey! I have a full time job at an animal boarding facility, but I typically only work 4 days a week and it’s usually morning shifts. I’m willing to get up a little earlier or stay up a little later to give your pet some attention. Shoot me a message and I can let you know my hours and we can see if I would be a good fit! I unfortunately can’t have fur babies come to my house, but i’m more than happy to come to you! I will keep your dogs on leash if you don’t have a fenced backyard, unless informed otherwise. I will also bring your pups on walks, I will keep them on leash, and use an extra leash if needed.

About: My partner and I will work together to provide the best services to other pet parents as we can! By having us as a team support one another, we're able to help more pet parents with their needs! 😊 Cassie: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. When I bought my first house in 2019, I adopted a senior dog who was scheduled to be euthanized simply because her owner passed away and nobody else could take her. She inspired me to want to take care of senior babies who may have additional needs not everybody can manage. I have experience administering oral and topical medication (no needles) for both dogs and cats. Justin: I’ve had at least one dog in my life from the day I was born. From very social Springer Spaniels, to very shy Australian Shepards to our current Lab Gus and Eskie Sue. I’m capable of administering oral and topical medication for both dogs and cats. I’m also very good creating a safe and comfortable environment for all cats and dogs and am happy to meet your animals before appointments to gain their trust. Since there's two of us, we do our best to flex schedules to make things work. Cassie works from home full-time and Justin has a hybrid schedule working 3 days in office and 2 days from home. Cassie has a strong attention to detail, so we will follow instructions closely to ensure the safety of all parties involved. We both have experience with dogs and cats, so we know to be careful to avoid any potential issues.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I am very active so you can expect frequent walks.

I am very friendly with all types and sized dogs. I always have treats at the ready and toys with me for a great time. I take long walks regularly and would love for your dog to come with me!

About: My love of animals started at a very young age. I grew up on a farm with many dogs, cats, and horses. I look forward to caring for your fur babies as if they were my own. I know it can be difficult to leave them, but know they are in excellent hands. I work as a nurse so I do have some extra time off during the week/weekends. I am mostly available early mornings or the late afternoons/evenings. On my days off, I can be flexible! I am here to accommodate yours and your fur baby’s needs! I will provide a fun, yet safe environment both on and off leash. I would want the best care for my pet as well.

About: Hey there! My name is Courtney, I am 30 years old and I’ve always loved dogs! I currently live with my husband, our 3 year old son, and our 2 lab-mixed rescues (black lab 8y, yellow lab 6y). I have used Rover over the last 9 years and love meeting new pups. I primarily offer walks and drop-ins, but have flexibility for dog sitting or house sitting as well. I absolutely love walking around near my house or traveling to other areas, and try getting outside as much as possible. I have a very flexible work schedule that accommodates any obligations I have, as well as work from home capabilities. My weekends tend to be very open as well, as long as I have notice and a schedule. I look forward to (hopefully) working with you and your furry friend as soon as possible! ***Also taking recurring dog walking or house visits! Primarily in the summer months but open to other times of year! I am a very schedule oriented person with a lot of love for furry friends. Having grown up with dogs, and now two dogs of my own, I understand the commitment and devotion needed for furry friends. Safety and trust are the first steps in any pet care scenario. I want the dog to get acclimated to me as I am to them, and to know I’m here to help and spend quality time together. I have done many types of care including onboarding, walking, drop in, house sitting, and medication administering.

About: Hi i’m Sydney! I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. Me and my furry bestfriend moved to Maui about 5 years ago and just recently made our way back to Minnesota! I have lots of experience with all kinds of dogs as well as training (big, small, old, young, reactive, etc.) I really love meeting new animals and learning how I can provide the best unique experience for them. I currently have a very open and free schedule and can be available on short notice. I look forward to being there for all of your pet care needs. I have a lot of experience caring for pets in their home. Safety and comfort are very important to me. As a nanny I have worked the majority of my time in my employers homes. I am always extremely respectful and cautious when entering anyones home base. If there are ever any specific requests when caring for pets in their home I am more than happy to accommodate them!

About: Have a family of 3 dogs and 2 cats and my family and I love our messy and hyper fur kids, no matter the situation we do research to avoid getting our fur kids sick and keep them feeling loved and relaxed :) I graduated from college this past summer and am working part time jobs so I have time to take care of friendly pets of any kinds and more than happy to house sit as well for any vacations! We have a fenced yard and we have a crate to put them in when they are doing naughty behaviors like digging through the trash or grabbing things (like food on the table) when they aren’t supposed to. I take them on walks and give them toys to play with as they love tug of war and enrichment toys to keep them busy while we are otherwise we cuddle and watch tv on the couch in my free time.

About: I have several years of dog and house-sitting experience through word-of-mouth referrals, caring for pets during trips ranging from a few days to a week and a half. I strive to find what works for each pet as an individual. I have experience caring for elderly dogs, administering oral medication, and working with multiple pets. I’ve cared for a range of dogs—from picky eaters and nervous, anxious dogs that preferred a consistent schedule and energetic dogs with mischievous streaks. Working with such different dogs has helped me become flexible and responsive to a wide range of temperaments and care requirements. Past clients have repeatedly trusted me with their pets and homes, and many have returned for additional bookings. Through these experiences, I have followed detailed care instructions, monitored pets for changes in behavior, provided excercise and affection, maintained a safe environment, and communicated reliably with owners. This means that when a situation is worrisome, I will err on the side of caution as well as informing you. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away and for you to feel secure your pets are safe and in responsible, good hands. As a college student who comes back home for the breaks, my schedule is relatively wide open. However, I also appreciate still having some time here and there even while on sits to spend with family, should it be possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize following any provided instructions and established routines. In this respect, I especially appreciate detailed care notes, as they help me provide the most consistent and personalized care possible. Every pet is different, and I believe clients know their pets best. At the same time, I use good judgment and common-sense safety practices to ensure pets remain safe, healthy, and comfortable while their parents are away. I am patient, attentive, and observant, and I make it a priority to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and needs. Whatever that means, I aim to adapt my care to what will help each pet feel most at ease. I also value staying in contact with pet parents throughout their time away, as much as their availability and preferences allow. Regular updates help provide peace of mind to everyone, and if any questions or unexpected situations arise, I can communicate promptly so clients stay informed and involved in decisions regarding their pet's care. My goal is to create a safe and familiar environment where pets can thrive and clients can feel confident that their pets and homes are being well cared for.

“Hailey was great at communicating and handled our energetic pup with care! We highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up in a household full of animals, caring for a husky, a German shepherd, three cats, two bunnies, and a hamster. This gave me hands-on experience with pets of different sizes, temperaments, and care requirements. I've also dog-sat numerous times, including for pets needing medication, which I have administered with care and precision. My background ensures I'm comfortable with diverse needs, from playful puppies to senior pets. I bring a nurturing approach, a deep understanding of animals, and a commitment to treating every pet like they're part of the family! I currently have a very open schedule, and can be at home most of the day. I would have lots of time to spend with your pup or kitty. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at ease. I follow the owner’s care instructions closely, ensuring their pet’s routine, diet, and exercise needs are met. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine to minimize stress.
