House Sitting in Owatonna

“Did a great job taking care of our puppy!”

“Allison watched both my dogs for a full day and was great! She provided updates throughout the day and was a great companion for them while my husband and I were working! Thank you so much! We will definitely rebook with her!”

About: I've had a passion for pets since I was just 5 years old, growing up surrounded by the joy and companionship they bring. By the age of 10, I started taking care of my friends' and family's pets, honing my skills in pet care and developing a deep understanding of their needs. This experience has not only enriched my life but has also strengthened my bond with animals, making me a reliable and loving caregiver for your furry friends. I work full time from home with a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to be able to take frequent breaks to care for your pets. I am available most weekends to be able to care for your pets. We have a large home with a large yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep yours company. I can crate your dogs if needed or they can roam around the house and even join me in my office while I work. I can drop in 3 to 4 times a day if I am watching them at your place.

“I would trust Avaiyah with my two pups. She loves on them and gives them lots of snuggles and kisses. She’s respectful and she has lots of dogs of her own so she’s an animal lover through and through. Your doggies will be in great hands if you ask her to watch them or let them out for potty breaks and time to bask in the sun.”

“Lynn was fantastic! She was extremely friendly, on time, and her communication skills were on point. She made sure to ask all the right questions before hand so Queenie’s needs were met. She sent photos and videos throughout the day. Definitely rebooking anytime we need someone to sit Queenie again!”

“Markus has taken care of both my dog, Ace, and cat, Robin. He is responsible, hardworking and passionate. He is an animal lover and truly cares about what he does!”

“Araya was so great with our 13 wk old pup, who is a handful to say the least. She did an amazing job and even brought some lovely surprises home from her work at the vet's office. We couldn't have imagined a better sitter for our little one. ?”

About: Quite simply, whatever you need done, I'll do it. Pets can frequently have very detailed and rigorous needs. I want you to be certain that I can help with that! I have a few different side hustles that are also very flexible. I don't work a long 9-5 and should never have to be gone for more than a few hours. I live with my parents and there we have two dogs who are contained in our 5-acre yard with an electric (invisible) fence. Our cat is spoiled inside!

About: I have a patiences and love for animals! I am very comfortable walking, grooming, and loving all types of pets. I have worked with dogs (puppies and seniors), reptiles, fish and cats. I have a lot of availability during the day. I do not work a traditional 9-5 job and have flexibility to focus on your pets. I focus on the safety and joy of your pet! I will follow any requests for your animal and your home. I have one dog and three cats to keep all pets company but all are easily blocked off if any animals are overwhelmed.

“Issac has a natural talent connecting with dogs and properly training them. I’ve seen him invest countless hours fostering and lovingly correcting dogs who need a strong and loving leader to settle into their potential. He’s also a great teacher of humans! His genuine curiosity, capacity to explain, patient presence, and acquired knowledge all make learning techniques of being a good dog parent from him easeful and a pleasure. I can’t recommend Issac enough. Four out of four paws 🐾 🐾”

“I have known Corey for many years and he’s a huge lover of animals. He takes care of his own pets with great care and love. He is great with all animals. I would trust him with my pets anytime and anywhere. Lyle”

“Callie is a wonderful pet sitter/dog walker! I have had her watch my little pup at least 10 separate times and she always comes back to me so happy and content! She is super thorough about following your pets schedule and being mindful of their needs. My pup absolutely adores her. She always sends pictures and is prompt with updates both independently and when asked! I highly recommend Callie if you need some additional pet care!”

“Our boys (3 LARGE dogs) had a great time with Abby! She took great care of them, even making sure our one dog got his medication. She kept us in the loop on anything that happened as well. I had concerns booking a sitter for our dogs given their size, but Abby proved she was able to handle them well and they loved her. Normally, they have a lot of anxiety when we come home from quick trip, but they were at ease when we got home and settled right down and back into their routine. Thank you, Abby! I would definitely recommend and will plan on rebooking Abby in the future.”

About: I’ve taking care of dogs and cats all of my life! I love being around them and spending time to make sure they’re happy and safe. I currently live in Janesville but work in Mankato, so I am used to a regular commute and am able to be flexible with my breaks to care for your pets. I plan to always keep my eyes or ears on the pets at all times. I think it’s important to not keep your pets locked in a cage all day, so roaming around in a safe environment is ideal.

“Lynn was AMAZING! She took care of my pups for a lengthy trip and I came home to two extremely happy puppies. She kept me updated throughout my time away, sent lots of photos, and took them on lots of walks. I booked her pretty last minute and she made sure the meet and greet process was swift and easy!”

“Katherine was great with the dogs and cat. She was able to stay on track with their food and potty schedule. She let us know immediately when one of the dogs had an accident on the couch and asked how we would like her to clean it up. She was willing to get the garbage and recycling out for us while we were out of town. The house was just as clean as when we left. She was very responsive to our messages. We will hire her again. We would highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was a baby. I have always enjoyed being around animals and playing with them and building trust with them and being able to cuddle with them on tough days. I have had different types of animals in my life. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamster, bearded dragon. I currently work part time as a nanny on mondays and Friday and I also currently am trying to create my own business of refurbishing furniture when I have the time. So I am available most days. If yard is fenced I let them run and play and watch them at all times. Otherwise I will put a leash on them so they stay close. I will also pay attention to where they are at all times.

“Maria was fantastic. My pup is usually wary of new people but Maria was so kind and patient with him, and he warmed right up. She sent regular updates. I felt very confident that my dog was in great hands while I was away, and I will definitely ask Maria to house sit again when I am away in the future.”

“So glad we had Sarah house sit our dogs while we were out of town for 4 days! She was responsive to messages and sent updates. I can tell my dogs and my house were well taken care of while we were on vacation. Peace of mind! Thank you!”

About: I’ve raised my two adopted puppies and created a safe home for both of them. All the vet visits and training and spending time together on walks helped me learn a lot about them and allowed me to show them that humans can be kind. They have their own personalities and needs. The dog treadmill keeps their stress and anxiety levels low. I groom and trim their claws. I’ve been training my dogs day to day and it never stops amusing me how smart they are. I am currently working part-time and spending time with dogs helps time go by. Weekends are always open. Obviously there are chores to take care of the house but there is always time to tend to the furry friends. I cared for my dogs when they were sick following vets instructions to give certain medications to my dogs. Adopting a dog always comes with challenges and we have overcome many of them. At home I have four rooms and two floors and a fenced backyard. I have three crates and one giant crate. I only use them if I need to run an errand or take care of myself away from the dogs. I try to ventilate the house an much as possible, frequently clean the house and make sure that my pets stay safe, healthy and happy.
