Pet Sitting in Sauk Rapids

“Christine was very good with my dog. He’s busy and anxious at times. But she was kind and loving to him. She also was able to help last minute as another sitter backed out, causing a fuss- she was helpful and a lifesaver.”

“Piper is amazing! She was able to help me out in a pinch and my animals absolutely love her. I highly recommend having her drop-in and help with your pets 😊”

“Amanda was great! My dogs felt very comfortable around her right away during the meet and greet and I could tell she genuinely loves dogs. She gave me updates and sent pictures that put me at ease during my weekend away! If I need a sitter again, she will be my first choice!”

About: I’ve grown up on an animal loving farm surrounded by the daily responsibilities of taking care of dogs and cats. The past couple of years I have enjoyed helping my neighbors, family, and friends with their pets. I am always willing to lend a helping hand! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and make time each day for walks, exercise, and attentive care. I am reliable, active, and happy to follow each dog's individual needs and schedule. I care for pets by following their normal routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client's home, I provide walks, fresh food and water, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I carefully follow any instructions regarding medications, feeding schedules, or special needs. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos. My goal is to give pets reliable care while maintaining a calm and familiar environment.

“While conducting the meet and greet, Mariah was studious in her note-taking of the usual care of my cat, and seemed to understand cats. This was put into action while we were gone, as I was left detailed rover-cards describing how Freyja was, and the condition of her various resources when Mariah visited. We will definitely look at rebooking for our next trip!”

About: I have taken care & loved dogs my whole life. I am trusted by friends, family and neighbors to care for their pets when they aren’t able to. I’ve cared for elderly dogs & tried my best to make sure they were comfortable in every last moment. I also have experience with puppies & always love being around them. I am currently working from home on my own business so I have a very flexible schedule. I’d love to take a break from what I’m doing to visit your pets! I’m available on weekends, weekdays and most holidays. I have experience taking care of many different pets and know that they are all unique. I can provide the special care your pet needs and follow any instructions given.

About: I have walked dogs and have had dogs and cats of my own throughout my life, animals ranging from a 100+ pound German Shepard to a small cat. I love them all. During quarentine my friend and I also had our own little dog walking business around or neighbor. We had around 10 frequent clients who we would walk on a weekly basis, so I have had experience with many different dogs. I am here for your animals and excited to meet them! I am going to be working full time this summer and will be working night shifts. I can play with your animals in the morning and mid afternoon. I can also check on them after work. Weekends I will be available every other weekend. I will be able to tend to animals very early in the morning and a little after noon. I am hoping to spend more time with a variety of animals this summer at reasonable costs! I have a decent sized yard with large hedges around it. My mom loves animals so she is happy whenever we dog watch our neighbors dog. I get along with almost all dogs and cats.

About: I have taken care of dogs for years for friends and family. I have done both pet sitting for vacations where the animal comes to my home.

I currently work full time in Minneapolis but I live in Sauk Rapids. I do dog sitting in both cities. I am a hybrid employee so I can be flexible with enough notice to plan around my schedule. I have cared for a variety of dogs who were elderly and sick with advanced dominical needs as well as a young energetic dogs. Whatever. Your pets need ,I would be willing to accommodate as long as we have discussions about it beforehand and i'm shown what to do.

About: Hello! My name is Siona, and growing up in the Caribbean around animals has given me years of hands on experience caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and temperaments. In addition to personal pet care experience, I worked as a veterinary assistant, where I gained experience handling animals, observing behavior, and supporting their daily needs. I am patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I am also fluent in four languages: English, Spanish, Dutch, and Papiamentu. This allows me to communicate effectively with a diverse range of pet owners and provide a welcoming experience for both pets and their families. As a university student with a flexible schedule, I am able to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. My classes and part-time work allow me to plan ahead and dedicate quality time to each pet’s needs. Whether your pet needs feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, or companionship, I am committed to maintaining their routine and ensuring they receive attentive care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a former veterinary assistant, I have experience handling animals, recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, and providing care in a calm and patient manner. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care requirements. Whether caring for pets in your home or during visits, I strive to create a safe, clean, and low stress environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved.

“I was so appreciative of her timely feedings, and the time she spent with them, I was able to see it all on my Ring. She was very professional caring.”

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. Now I own and operate Pawsitive Journey, so in a way uou could say that dream has turned into a reality. I'm experienced with a wide variety of behaved dogs, puppies and more. Don't be afraid to reach out. When your fur babies are in my care, they will be treated and cared for as family. I'm currently self-employed through Pawsitive Journey, so I will have plenty of time to provide your pet with the care, attention, and playtime you want and expect. I have a 6+ 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, depending on what your pet requires.

“Eliza is just awesome! My Molly is very shy but Eliza was so patient with her and just let her set the pace. It was great to know Molly was being taken care of so I could enjoy my trip. I will definitely book her again whenever I’m gone and highly recommend her.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each dog or cat’s personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have experience working with both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I focus on reinforcing basic training like potty routines, crate training, and positive behavior habits. For senior pets, I’m patient and attentive to mobility issues, medication schedules, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. I’m also highly reliable and communicative—I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, structured routines, or gentle, attentive care, I adapt to what works best for them. Above all, I aim to build trust—not just with pets, but with their owners too—so you can feel completely confident while you’re away. I am currently working full-time but with my scheduling I am able to build time around pets needs. Each day includes feeding, walks or playtime, and general check-ins to make sure they’re healthy and comfortable. I live in home with a fenced in yard. All animals are allowed in all rooms as well as furniture. I do have a crate if need be and two friendly doodles to keep your dog company with lots of toys to play with!
