Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Prospect Park

“Sophie was great!! She kept me very updated on my kitties with detailed messages and lots of pictures! I know my kittens loved playing with her and I felt great knowing they were in good hands! Would definitely have back!”

About: 🐾 I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, and I started dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors when I was 10. When I got my own dog at 14, I fell in love with training and taught her over 20 tricks through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Over the years, I’ve built strong relationships with both pets and owners, and I’ve been lucky to receive referrals from people who trust me with their dogs. I love making sure dogs are not just cared for, but genuinely happy and engaged. Whether that’s walks, playtime, enrichment games, training practice, or just giving them lots of attention and affection, I always try to match each dog’s personality and energy level. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I always want them to feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I’m a college student currently on summer break, so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I truly look forward to every day. I’m also studying Animal Science, which has made me even more passionate about animal care and behavior. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and comfort levels, and I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Carolyn was fantastic. I have a cat on multiple medications and she handled all of it no problem. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”

Ellie J.

“It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone who wasn't family & we were very nervous. Madisen made us feel so comfortable with her, sending photos all day & hanging out with our pup. 5/5 service!”

Caroline M.

“Sapna was so communicative and kind. My two cats loved her. I am really happy I chose Sapna for my four day vacation because I knew they were in good hands.”

“Jennifer does a wonder job with our dog, always on time and reliable, makes it easy when out of town to trust your pet is being taken care of.”

About: My family has ALWAYS had large dogs, in addition to cats and other animals. I love walking dogs and playing with them. I know how much personalities vary. I know how to deal with skittish dogs. I work until 2 pm most days and am free after that. I am very flexible outside of this. I have a calendar that will enable me to keep track of all appointments. At this time, I would only be able to take care of animals at the client's home. I will follow instruction to the letter, especially with medications or special diets.

“Molly was excellent! She took great care of our two kittens and made sure they had everything they needed including lots of playtime. Molly was very responsive and communicative. We had a great experience, and would recommend Molly without hesitation.”

About: I've been caring for neighborhood pets since I was 13, and now I’ve been all over the Minneapolis area! My family rescue dog and elderly cat are my babies, they make me the best temporary pet parent I can be for you. I lost one of my elderly cats rather suddenly this fall, so I can say I definitely understand the anxiety of being away from your pets especially those with health issues or behavior quirks. I do what I do because of her, and as a Minneapolis transplant away from my animals, I am more than happy to spend time with yours! I work part-time, though my hours fall in the 9-5 window. However, there is flexibility for me to work remotely for part or sometimes full days with advance notice, depending on the project. I can usually accommodate whatever exercise your pet needs! I am also a dancer, so if your dog has acute health issues or requires constant supervision, we may not be the best fit, as training does require me to be out of the house in the evening. No 4-hour rehearsals right now, but I do take class most days of the week. I'll do my best to stick to a comfortable, consistent routine for your pet and make sure they get all the proper attention and love they need while you are gone. I'm happy to accommodate any medication or feeding requirements.

About: I've taken care of dogs for 10+ years, and know how to handle reactive, elderly, and young dogs in a calm and dependable way. I'm known as a great communicator, and will be a reliable presence in your dog's life, whether on a walk or spending time together while you're away. I'm very adaptable, and know that each dog has unique needs. I love figuring out what makes each dog tick, and am always up for a challenge. I currently have a hybrid work schedule, and can work around your schedule. If I am staying at your place, I would be away from your pet for no more than 4 hours at a time. I love taking walks and will keep your dog well-exercised. I'm also a fan of dog enrichment activities, and can keep their mind engaged in addition to walks. If your dog is ok with cars, I'm also happy to take them on hikes in nearby nature areas. I'm a clean, quiet house guest, and respect the fact that I'm entering your space as a guest.

“Krista is a phenomenal sitter who takes great care of my sweet girl while I’m away. They send lots of updates and photos, and is very accommodating when it comes to key exchanges! I will be booking with them again:)”

“This is a late review; so sorry! Caroline was an excellent drop in visitor for my two cats, one of which had dietary restrictions. Will definitely try to work with Caroline again.”

About: I've cared for two dogs as I grew up, and look forward to caring for more. I have done many long walks and dog park hiking with my golden doodle, and have also done some training as well. I know how to take care of puppies and adult dogs, but would love to learn how to take care of special needs and senior dogs. Dogs, like mine, are energetic and need lots of exercise, so I am always willing to play or exercise with dogs. Over the summer (June-August), I am free most afternoons and some evenings the whole week. During the school year, (September-May) I am more available during the weekends, but still free during some afternoon/evenings during the week, which I'll update as I get my schedule. At home, I care for my dog by giving him plenty of snuggles, but also getting up and playing with him when he lets me know he wants to play. I am alert and can sense what my dog may need, such as going potty, playing, or eating. When walking/going to the dog park, I watch over my dog at all times, and walk along with him. During walks, I make sure that he is safe to walk and sniff the whole time. At dog parks, I encourage him to meet other dogs and run around while still being present. I notice when my dog gets tired or needs water, and I am prepared by bringing a water bottle.

“I was really nervous to leave my senior dog just due to her age and medical issues. I very rarely leave her for extended periods of time but Cherise's great communication made me feel so much better! Great updates also! Will definitely be booking again!”

Mindy M.

“I really have liked Jacob and Sarah! They've been responsive and flexible, and I feel like my dogs are in good hands. And I absolutely love the pictures and updates they send!”

Jodi L.

“Queenie was excellent in taking care of our cats. We loved the updates and pictures provided and we appreciated her flexibility and assistance when one of our feeders gave out during our trip. Everything looked great when we came back and the cats were super lucky to have her. Thanks so much Queenie!”

Charity G.

“Larissa was amazing to work with! She watched our German Shepherd and played with her and gave her lots of attention. Our dog was in good hands!”

Hailey L.

“Was absolutely amazing with taking care of my baby boy! Kept me updated, and he enjoyed her company so much. Was great knowing he was in such great care, will be booking her againᵕ̈”

About: With over 8 years of experience in animal care, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, rats, and even lizards! I’m confident handling pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions who need a bit of extra TLC. I also have experience administering medications like pills, topical creams, and pet inhalers. I’m always happy to learn your pet’s unique routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m a second-year student at the University of Minnesota and love spending my free time caring for animals. While my weekday schedule is limited due to classes, I’m fully available on Fridays and would be happy to dedicate that time to pet care. I look forward to meeting new pets and giving them the attention they deserve! Since I care for pets in their own homes, I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I stick to their usual routine—whether that means walks, meals, playtime, or meds—whatever they need to feel at ease. I know how important it is to have someone you trust in your home, so I’m always respectful of your space and do my best to leave things just as I found them (or better!). I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured while you're away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and try to make the time you're gone as stress-free as possible for both of you.
