About: Hello! I have had dogs around me all my life. I’m currently a dog parent to two Chihuahua mix dogs, Bennie and Jet. Both are rescued and very sweet. I have assisted in training hunting dogs for my family and friends. I don’t have any professional experience, but I love dogs and I’m very good at making dogs feel safe and loved. I live in Rochester, MN and work a job that is Monday-Friday 8am-5pm in the office. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. I would love to get to know you and your four legged family members!!! I typically work 9am-5pm at the office 3-4 days a week. In the mornings, I take my pups out to go potty and then they tend to come in and go back to bed. When I can I like to come home over my lunch to take them out and play a bit. In the evenings, we play outside if it’s nice and inside if not. My pups are free feeders so they eat when they are hungry and I just fill the bowl back up, this is typically 1/2-1 cup per day for my two chihuahuas. I’ve followed more routine feeding with my dogs in the past but this works best for mine now. My pups will cuddle on the couch with me until bedtime then they sleep in bed with me. I have a fenced in yard with trees for the pups to play in. Good side-walked neighborhood for walks. My house has stairs but I use baby gates for when senior or special needs pets visit. Lots of dog beds and blankets, all the blankets in my house belong to the pups lol.

“Laney did a great job watching Aiden while we were away! Definitely recommend for future pet care needs 😊”

“I was in a tight place looking for someone to take care of Lyra on short noitice and Denielle was able to do a late meet and greet after my twelve hour shift to see Lyra. She did a great job helping out and I’m looking forward to working with her on caring for Lyra more in the future!”

I'm available any day, but if dog sitting or doing doggy daycare during those days, the potty breaks would be 8 hour span while I'm at work.

About: I have 14 years of hands on dog experience taking care of my own dog who was my best friend. Some of the things I had to do included feeding and taking my dog out on a regular schedule, playing and cuddling with him. Additionally I have experience showing patience and kindness to a dog through his life stages. Lastly I have experience watching family members pets overnight. I can treat every animal as if they were my own I’m currently working part time which means I have plenty of time to spoil your dogs. I have a large gap both in my heart and schedule to give your dog the time it needs. I have a fenced in yard for safety. I understand the importance of having a clean and safe space for your dog. I have a climate controlled garage that can be used as additional space and a safe passage to the yard. I do live with other people who are also juts as much dog lovers as me so no worries there.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid! I currently have two golden retrievers, a cat and a horse. I am very responsible, and I love to be outside walking! I currently own my own spa, so my hours are fairly flexible around appointments. I always schedule time into my day to be able to walk my own dogs, and I only work 4.5 days a week at the spa I am used to walking two big dogs together, sometimes 3 when I babysit my sisters dog. My younger dog is quite rambunctious, so I am good with energy

“Sarah was awesome and worked with me on short notice! Dogs were comfortable with her from the initial meeting and trusted her to drop in and take them for walks!”

I’m currently working full time during the week. I will have plenty of time to spend with your dogs and make sure that they are taken great care of. I’ll be able to look after your dog at your place and make sure they feel comfortable. I’ll be able to let them out multiple times through out the day as well

“Alison was fantastic! We came home and the cats were relaxed and happy. She was able to work with one cat that is always in need of attention and another that needs space and will let you know when she is ready for attention. If you need a pet sitter, she is wonderful!”

Jessica G.

“Caroline took wonderful care of my young guinea pig. She provided him with snuggles and floor time. His daily care directions were followed and I returned to a well fed, clean cage, and lively little guy. Her communication was quick and precise. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again for my guinea pig in the future!”

About: With years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide compassionate, reliable, and personalized care for every animal. I treat each furry friend like family, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while in my care. I also have experience with special needs and senior animals so I’m comfortable giving meds if needed. I’m currently working a part-time job and I'm a part time college student. My schedule may vary each week. I usually work Wednesday-Sunday starting at 5pm. Sometimes I work the morning shift. I’m not available on weekends because I work. When introducing myself to a new animal I like to start out quite and get on there level to make them feel more comfortable. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel happy and safe by respecting their spaces, personality, and unique needs.

About: My family has had 2-3 labs since I was born. I have been active in their care from feeding, bathing, walking and training since I was a teenager and have occasionally cared for other pets as well - dogs and bunnies. I am allergic to cats and will not be able to spend as much time in homes with cats, so please keep this in mind before booking services. My work schedule involves a rotating schedule of 3 12 hour shifts a week. Please message me if you have specific questions about my schedule and what I am able to accommodate! I am respectful of privacy and personal items when in someone else’s home. I pay attention to the dogs demeanor and respond appropriately. For example, if the dog is more energetic and playful I will make sure to walk and/or play with them until they’re tired. I will not force the dog to do anything that they don’t want to.

About: I work from home. I have a small backyard and a park nearby with a walking path. I have 3 children who are good around pets. We have one dog of our own who is a 70lb, 12 year old female. My experience comes from my own pets and checking on friend’s pets while they are away. I am available in the mornings before work, can be flexible about lunch and breaks to leave and check on pets and end my work day at 5 (Mon-Fri). If I go into work, it is often on a Wednesday and my parents come check on my dog while I am away for the day. My home: I have a fenced yard, 1 older dog, and gates in the house to keep the dogs on the main floor. I do not have a crate or dog toys. My dog prefers long walks, scratches and a good nap. My dog is a large poodle breed.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature. I grew up with birds, learning patience and gentleness from an early age, and throughout my school years I helped neighbors with their dogs, including walking, feeding, and making sure they felt happy and safe while their families were away. Today, I care for my own cat, who reminds me daily how important consistency, love, and attention to detail are. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just making sure pets feel comfortable and secure, I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family, especially those I care for in shelters. I work 8-hour shifts with varying start times, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. On many days I’m available for daytime check-ins and walks, and I’m also free evenings and weekends. My schedule allows me to reliably fit pet care into my routine, making sure your pets get consistent attention and love when you need it most. I focus on caring for pets in the comfort of their own homes, where they feel safest and most at ease. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box and waste cleanup, walking, providing plenty of playtime, and making sure pets are comfortable and secure. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring peace of mind for you while you’re away.
