Dog Sitting in Saint Louis Park

About: I am a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for large breeds, especially strong, energetic pups like German Shepherds, Huskies, and other working breeds. I’m comfortable and confident handling dogs who need a calm, steady leader — including those who may be reactive to other dogs, people, or environmental triggers. I also have experience caring for dogs with special medical needs. I have experience applying ointments, eye drops, and administering pills and liquid medicines. I understand that cats have unique personalities and routines, and I’m comfortable with everything from feeding schedules and litter box care to administering medications and giving space to shy or independent cats. I provide calm, attentive care and make sure every pet feels safe, respected, and comfortable in their own home while you’re away. I like to be transparent when I take care of other peoples fur babies and will often share updates via text with added videos and photos of the time I spend with your pet, as well as time stamped detail of feeding, playtime, and potty updates. Pet care is a planned and consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I organize my schedule to ensure I have dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, play, and companionship without feeling rushed. I build in flexibility to accommodate different pet needs, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends when needed. Because I plan my time carefully, I’m able to be reliable, punctual, and fully present for every pet in my care. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. In my client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and medications are handled exactly as instructed. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any behavioral or medical needs. For dogs, I focus on safe, structured walks, positive reinforcement, and calm handling. For cats, I provide attentive care while respecting their boundaries, keeping their environment clean, and offering affection at their comfort level. I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and leave detailed updates so pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“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.”

“Carly did a great job watching over our two cats! She took plenty of playtime videos and left the house and litter boxes clean. Will look to rebook again!”

“Darwin did a wonderful job with our 2 cats. They are so quick to respond to texts and always sent a descriptive note about how each visit went. Our cats were happy and relaxed when we arrived home again.”

“Nick was so helpful! I felt completely confident that he would show up each day. He sends daily updates and photos, which was awesome. Thanks, Nick!”

“Anna was an exceptional dog sitter for our senior cavapoo! She was extremely caring and trustworthy! We never worried at all while we were away. We loved her communication! She was very thorough and sent us the cutest pictures of our dog and notes to match of how she was doing when she came to visit her. We will absolutely call Anna again!”

Melissa H.

“Andy has watched our cats a few times - they're always happy when we get home, and we can tell they are happy to see Andy when she comes to take care of them. We have some very specific health and food needs and she does a great job managing this while we are away, which means a ton to us. Thank you Andy!”

Jason D.

“Addison was absolutely amazing with Phoebe. She was very thorough in her daily updates and always provided lots of pictures. I have a more anxious cat around people and she was very good at respecting her boundaries and listening to her cues. I would definitely recommend Addison to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets while they are away :)”

Caroline B.

“Our dog LOVES Sydney. She’s the best. Was very responsible with our golden doodle Olive. Would 100% rebook with her. Super reliable and responsive too!”

Morgan M.

“Andrew was extremely communicative, very attentive to our cat Niles’ needs, he took a lot of pictures of our kitty to reassure us, and went above and beyond taking care of our cat. Book him!”

Logan C.

“Thank you so much Ashley!”

Amanda Z.

“Maddy stopped by my home, on time, for our first in-person meet & greet. The visit was short and to the point, within that short time Maddy showed the love and kindness she has for dogs, my dogs will be in good hands with Maddy.”

Eric M.

“Lily is so sweet and really loves animals! Our cats loved playing with her, even the shy one! She was very communicative and prompt. We will reach out to her again if we travel more this summer! Thank you lily!”

Aubrey G.

“Reyhan is super sweet and detail oriented! They took great care of my two boy kitties, and even made sure our place was taken care of while away. I always worry being away from my boys for longer than a few days, but my worries were significantly lessened with Reyhan taking care of them! My shy kitty even started to warm up to Reyhan, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the rover cards each time. I’d love to have Reyhan again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of neighbors’, friends’, and families’ pets since high school. I have experience in both daily care (including feeding, walking, playing, and bathing) and overnight care. I love all dogs, big or small, and also have more recent experience with cats. I am comfortable with young dogs as well as old dogs, including administering medications. My love for animals makes pet care one of my favorite experiences! I am currently home for the summer from college and have a pretty flexible schedule. Most weekdays I work for a few hours in the evening (usually around 4-8pm) but have a relatively open schedule otherwise for both weekdays and weekends. My daily experience with pets through my own pet ownership and through nannying families with their own pets ensures that I have the experience needed to meet the needs of all pets throughout the day. I can easily work around a pet’s schedule and prioritize the pet’s needs. I also have a car if any transportation is needed.

About: Hi! My name is Kendall, and I am a dependable animal lover who understands that pets are family. Whether you need a dog walker, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, I am committed to providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to your pet’s unique needs and personality. My services include: * Dog walking * Drop-in visits * Pet sitting * Feeding and fresh water * Playtime and enrichment * Basic medication administration (if needed) * Frequent photo and text updates Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I am organized, reliable, and intentional about managing my time. While I do work a full-time job, I carefully schedule pet care responsibilities around my work hours to ensure that every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Before and after work, I am available for walks, feedings, drop-in visits, and quality one-on-one time with pets. On my days off and weekends, I have additional flexibility to accommodate longer visits, pet sitting needs, and extra playtime. At this time, I am not able to provide boarding services in my home. However, I am happy to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your pet’s familiar environment, where they can remain comfortable and maintain their normal routine.

About: Hi, I'm Caitlin! Being a pet parent is special, and I genuinely understand what it means to trust someone with your pet. I lost my 15-year-old dog last year, and that kind of loss changes how you see pet care, and it's exactly why I take this seriously. Every animal in my home gets real attention, a consistent routine, and the kind of care I'd want for my own. My home is a calm, adults-only environment with a fully fenced yard to ensure safe outdoor time, and my neighborhood is a quiet tucked away pocket near Cedar Lake. While I try to board pets only from the same home, there can at times be exceptions (mostly holidays). While my main living area is on one level, there are stairs required to get into the home via the front door. I also welcome & love cats. I've been fostering through Pet Haven for over a year, so I understand what a cat actually needs in a new space (spoiler: it's not just food and good vibes), and how to introduce pets to a decompression space and other pets they are not familiar with. I keep my roster intentionally small so I can give every animal genuine attention, not assembly-line pet care. You'll get photos and updates throughout, so you can actually enjoy your time away. If you want someone who treats your pets the way you would, please send me a message! I'm currently in between jobs, which means I have maximum flexibility for mid-day walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I only confirm stays I can genuinely support. I build the routine around the pet to the best of my ability. I'll ask you what your animal's schedule looks like at home and do my best to mirror it. I know consistency matters! I treat communication as part of the service. You won't wonder how your pet is doing. At my home: As often as possible I try to start every stay with a meet-and-greet so your pet arrives already familiar with the space and with me. I'll ask you in advance about their routine (feeding schedule, walk preferences, any quirks or triggers) and I follow it to the best of my ability. My home is calm, adults-only, and has a fully fenced yard for dogs. For cats, I set up a dedicated decompression space so they can settle in at their own pace. I typically do not take overlapping bookings unless the pets are from the same household, but there are sometimes exceptions. At your home: I follow whatever directions you leave. I'll send photo updates so you know things are normal, and I'll flag anything that seems off rather than wait until you're home. For cats especially, in-home sitting is often the lower-stress option, and after a year of fostering, I know how to read a cat who's fine versus one who isn't.

“Kiah is great! She was able to accommodate a last minute drop in so our pup didn’t have to go all day in her crate. Love getting pictures and updates.”

Addie M.

“Brinn was great helping us last minute and being flexible with our needs! Our home and kitties were very happy and well cared for when we returned!”
