About: I worked at a credable doggy day care and boarding facility for 5 year (muddy paws resort). I have been around dogs my whole life and have my own dog. I have experience with dogs of all sizes small to HUGE! And all sorts of temperament from happy go lucky to very shy to more fear agressive dogs. Through my employment there i completed courses such as knowing dogs 101 and 102 and a cpr certification course. My personal dog is an Australian shep x Rottweiler mix and knows many tricks and is very obedient, this has come from her breed and my passion to learn with her. I would love to get to know your pets and help busy owners out too :) I am currently a volleyball college athlete, who is in off season practice and lifts durring the evening. But my gaps between practice and classes I would love to help take care of your pet. I am currently in a school apartment with 3 other roomate’s , so small dogs or cats would be best. In your home I would make sure to keep messes cleaned up and the safety of your pet is first :)

About: I have grown up my whole life around animals. When I was younger, I had smaller animals like hamsters and rats. In high school, my dad did get an English bulldog and he was my best friend! When we first brought him home, I took him to training and I loved every second of it! I would watch him almost every weekend for my parents. My sister also had a dog, her and I worked opposite schedules so I would take care of him during the day. I also took him through training as a puppy. So if you have a puppy and want them to learn a thing or two I can help! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats with my boyfriend. So I really understand how much your fur baby’s mean to you as I have some at home! I am working part time and looking for something to do with my other time! I’m available all day Wednesdays, Fridays after 2pm and just about every weekend! Something that I live by is treating others animals like your own! I am also very big on respect. Letting me into your home to take care of your fur baby’s means a lot to me. I love to just hang out with furry friends or go play outside, which ever you need from me I will do! I really would like to make sure you and your animals can trust me! Whether you have cameras in your home or need a check in hourly, I’m willing to do whatever you need to trust me in your home. Having that trust bond can really make or break a sitter! Besides trust I also value on making sure your animal is safe.

About: I'm familiar with several different sizes and breeds of pets. Some dogs, some cats. I'm used to always having a pet around. I enjoy spending time with pets. I'm currently doing what I can for work on my own. I'm hoping pet care can become another thing I do. Let me know what you need accomplished and when. I will do my best to keep your pets on a similar schedule as they are used to. I will also do my best to keep the pets comfortable.

About: I've always loved dogs. I've spent five years working at a dog shelter as office manager, intake person which includes giving oral and injection medications, adoption coordinator, feeding and watering, cleaning, and socializing. I'm available during the week after 5:30pm. Weekends are open. I work at the humane society but don't get to interact with the furry friends. I miss them! Also, I enjoy nature walks and stop as often as the dogs do to look at things. :) My schedule is flexible. When I am with dogs, it is sometimes hard to draw my attention away from them because they are so very loving and giving. I like to give that back to them.

“Sarah was great and I will definitely use her to walk the pups again. She is a great communicator and took pics and made sure to let me know she picked them up and that they were home after their walk.”

About: I have 5 amazing dogs of my own, 1 pitbull, 2 American Eskimo mini and 2 Pomeranians. I had 2 liter of puppies from my dogs (1st liter was 10 pups, 2nd liter was 5 pups) and was able to raise them well for their furever home. I run a lot, so if your dog needs to exercise, you can count me in. Or simply needs a rest day, or any kind of special needs, I’m your girl. I work full time and have my own babies to care for, but I’m a super dog mom so I’m pretty flexible and prepared for anything. With my own experiences of owning 5 dogs, and raising 15 puppies, I feel like that should speak for itself. I do have a fenced in yard, I love dogs and I want them to be happy while they're with me or their own homes.

About: I have been caring for dogs for many years! Friends, family, neighbors, and in the clinic! Experience in medicating, grooming, walking, playing, and basic care! I am currently working four day a week in a vet clinic! Lots of available time before work, during lunch hour, after work and days off! I have training for medical conditions. I am a very active, outdoor enjoying individual! Animal care is my passion! Safety and care is the most important!

About: I sincerely love and care for dogs so much! I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have my own border collie now, Missy. I think that dogs are the most special animals and enjoy their company at all times. I would dog sit my parents dogs very frequently while they would be on vacation for days at a time and dog sit our neighbor dogs,too. Dogs are people ❤️ I coach hockey. So flexible schedule during the day and have to walk my dog a few times a day so I make time always for her. I have a fenced in yard but will go and walk the dogs frequently. Feed them properly. Cuddles, or fetch, give them love at all times .

“Levi has been such a help with walking Mom’s dog. He’s always happy to help out when he can is great with Brady. So grateful to have him as part of our dog walking family!”

I currently have 8 pets I care for daily and plus a toddler so I’m pretty experienced and honestly 8 just isn’t enough for me I have a dog and a cat to keep either species entertained and happy, I can offer as many walks a day as needed plus even trick training if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of other animals since I was 6. I had multiple dogs and cats growing up that I helped care for daily. I have dog-sat and cat-sat for family and friends whenever needed. I now have a growing kitten that I’ve been caring for over the last year. I’m currently a 4th grade teacher in Owatonna and am looking to add a part-time job to keep me busy on the weekends and during vacations from school. I’m very free during the week, on weekends, and after school days. I’m willing to spend as much time with pets as needed and show them human compassion. Whether it is going on walks, getting belly rubs, or receiving treats for doing their best. I believe pets should be shown with the same love they show their humans.

About: I’m a caring person who loves dogs and grew up with a lab. I have experience with taking care of friends puppies and senior dogs. I love to play hard with them so they can sleep good for you! I can walk dogs before I go to work and, take them out immediately when I get back home. I will also make sure they are being fed at the right times. I’m happy to transport pets and have them stay at my apartment for up to a week. I will provide long walks with them on leash and follow procedures at a client’s home. Making sure that the pet is comfortable is a top priority for me.

I am flexible and able to care for your pet when I am not at my job! Schedule varies by week but with notice i can accommodate I follow the directions given to me by the owners in order to keep myself and others safe. I will make sure your dog gets everything they need!

About: I've intermittently assisted my sister at her pet grooming business over the past 10+years. This time is also when I started watching dogs for some of her clients and I then found clients of my own through word of mouth. I've stayed in people's homes with their pets, I've had pets stay at my home. I have experience with puppies to senior dogs, kittens to senior cats. I have experience with toy breeds to Giant breeds. Domestic felines to hybrid. I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my entire life livestock, wildlife and pets, I have a deep love and respect for them. I've always had a pet dog/cat or both.. currently both. My schedule is currently very open daily, weekly, weekends very flexible. I intend to prioritize pet care in hopes of building a good business base for the near future. Pets in my care get all the love and attention. Vet name and number, emergency contact, medications list needed... I have out door tie outs, a zip line tie out, out door kennel, 2 indoor kennels, I'll let your pet sleep in my bed if it's sad. I want the pets to always be as comfortable and stress free as possible, so whatever that looks like for them is what I'll provide.

“Kayla was great. Was on time, took the pups on a nice long walk, sent a few pictures, and communicated with me when she picked them up and dropped them off. Will definitely be reaching out for here services again.”
