About: Hi! My name is Rachel, and I’m based in the Saint Cloud area while attending the College of Saint Benedict. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have a sweet 1-year-old Maltese mix puppy named Crunch, and before him, I had another Maltese who was a beloved part of my family for nearly 12 years. I’m currently on a pre-vet track with the goal of attending veterinary school in the future. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets—whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, or just keeping them company while they're away. I also volunteer at the local humane society, where I’ve gained valuable experience with dog walking and general animal care. On top of that, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to do veterinary work abroad, further strengthening my skills and passion for animal health and well-being. I have plenty of free time during the summer, which allows me to offer flexible and consistent care throughout the week—whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. During the school year, I’m still available most evenings and weekends for pet care. In a client’s home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, regular walks, fresh water, and lots of play or cuddle time, depending on their needs and personality. I also take the time to follow any specific routines or instructions you provide.

“Christine is always on time. Takes great care of my two dogs. She brings treats and even made blanket blankets for my dogs. She’s very flexible. Understanding.”

About: I've taken care of, trained and loved animals since I was little. Growing up that infatuation grew into a dream to have my own kennel and business.

I'm currently self-employed and work side gigs, so I will have plenty of time to provide your pet with the care, attention, and playtime you want and expect. I have a few years of handling and caring for animals in general and would be able to provide the most comfort and the most exhilarating time while you are away.

If I have your pet at my home, they will mostly be just for walks. We could sit and watch TV at home, or maybe learn something new? I like to grow with the animal.

About: I have lived with animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and other pets. I’ve also volunteered with a dog adoption agency that focuses on elderly dogs, giving me valuable experience in caring for senior pets. In addition, I have pet-sitting experience with animals of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to older dogs and cats. This background has helped me develop the skills and patience needed to provide exceptional care for pets at every stage of life. Additionally, with working with elderly dogs, I have dealt with all sorts of different medical conditions and have experience administering medications. Pet care is an important part of my daily life, and I prioritize making time for it. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or grooming, I enjoy building routines that ensure pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I’m flexible with my schedule, which allows me to adapt to the needs of both the pets and their owners. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I’m committed to making it a regular part of my routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I ensure the environment is secure by removing potential hazards and keeping doors and fences closed. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, from feeding schedules to exercise routines, and I pay close attention to the pet’s behavior and needs. Building trust is key, so I take the time to help pets feel comfortable and at ease while maintaining open communication with their owners to provide updates and peace of mind.

About: I have 2 dogs! I have a French Bulldog and English Bulldog! I have a Frenchie who is very active and then our English bulldog who is very lazy and loves to sleep! I can work from home if your pup needs more care otherwise, I make my own schedule so I can accommodate anything you would need! I love going for walks, and I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for the doggies to run around off a leash! I currently own my own company. I can do drop in for visits throughout the day as needed. I don't have a set schedule so I can easily work with others schedules. I can go home or to other locations as needed throughout the day! I have a fenced in backyard the dogs can run in if I am boarding them, so no need to worry about them running off. I have 2 other dogs to keep your pup entertained while your away. My dogs are gated in our laundry room while I am away and when we go to bed at night, so they do not free roam. I can accommodate crating or not crating your pup. Totally up to the dog's owner which can be discussed!

“Abby does a great job!”

About: I adore animals, so I would love to watch others! I had pets my whole childhood and could always be found taking care of and playing with them from a young age. Now I have a dog of my own and often watch my parents’ dogs. I’d love to spend time with your pets as well! I am a teacher and work full time but am available on weekends during the school year. I am available during school breaks and summertime- all day. I am able to walk dogs or do drop ins. I have an unfenced yard so animals would be leashed outside of my home. I also have a 9 year old child and a 5 year old shorkie-poo.

About: I have always had a love for dogs, ever since I was little. I will provide the best care for your dog, while making it comfortable and fun for them! I've had dogs and many other animals all my life and know exactly the care they require (including a hedgehog, bearded dragon, bunnies, and fish) I also raise mallard ducks, which has nothing to do with dogs, but I have doctored them up from some pretty gruesome injuries, as well as when my own puppies are injured, I make it my first priority to take special care of them and give them the love and tender care they need! I have a lot of experience with large dogs, and handle them very well, as well as small dogs. I work part time at the hospital, so I do work every third weekend and a couple days during the week. The days during the week that I work depend on if I worked that weekend or not. So check my calendar and it will be up to date as far as availability! I like to make the dogs (or cats) feel right at home. I want them to feel comfortable around me and safe. I will take very good care of them and make sure they have everything they need. We will make sure to have fun too!

About: Since day one, I have always had a dog in my life. A cat in my adult years and a few other critters throughout the years. They are all family! All my dogs have always been a big part of my life and I care for them deeply. Family/Friends have trusted me to care for their pets when needed. I am always happy to lend a helping hand, or a lap to cuddle on, an arm to throw a ball, or even lacing up those tennis shoes for a walk. I currently have a “teenager” (4 year American Staffordshire Terrier… major cuddles, playful, very sensitive stomach) and recently our senior Luna past over the rainbow bridge. I am patient and have energy for any requirement you may need while your babies are in my care. Working from home, I am quite flexible most days. I am an early riser and stay up late. So feedings, playtime, bathroom breaks, etc is not an issue for me. We have 5 acres of unfenced land to run around in. I also have a very large fenced Garden the dogs are allowed to roam in for off leash fun, as well as a sizeable wrap around deck to chill on and soak up the sun. We are outdoor people, so are our dog(s), so if it’s nice, you will find us out and about. With our training they do well to stay within our property and listen well if running around the yard. Communicate if your dog(s) need to be leashed (also have a leash line setup between trees to enjoy the outdoors as well). I would hope in any environment that your pets are trained and do well in the space provided or within, please communicate any special concerns, etc. I do have experience with “shock” collars for more so the ‘tone’ button, as we have cows, other wildlife, and woods surrounding our house, we use this to protect our dogs from our surroundings periodically throughout the year. So I am comfortable using this method to ensure your pups stay safe.
