House Sitting in Spicer

“Kayleigh was terrific. She comforted my sweet Mia while we moved my daughter and other dog Kota across the country. I realized Mia had always had Kota before even when we were away. :( It was a great relief to know she would be well cared for till I got home. ^_^”

“We booked Sydney for a 4-day trip and she house-sit our lovely & “mouthy” boxer-rotty-pit mix. Honestly, it allowed to have a great trip knowing our girl was in such great care. She communications and listens very well. She has a genuine love for dogs and our dog had a great time with her! She’d send pics and updates and that was so fun to receive. Highly recommend— just don’t steal the dates we need her for! :)”

About: I have had dogs and/or cats my entire life. My beloved Llewelyn setter passed in early 2025 and I have since moved into a homeowners association that doesn't permit pets. I recently sold my business and moved to Willmar to be near family. Pet care will be my only obligation and it will be a pleasure for me to care for pets. I will provide care in your home where your pet is most comfortable and follow owners' instructions to provide consistency in your pet's daily routine.

“Crystal did a great job watching our 2 fur babies for 3 weeks. She sent us updates and pictures on a regular basis. When we walked in the door, they were happy and healthy. Thanks for taking good care of our kitty cats!”

“Hannah is such a caring pet sitter! She loved up on our animals as we would and it was so reassuring to know that they were in good hands while we were away. Hannah communicated well with us before we left, as well as while we were gone, sending us pictures of our animals frequently, which we really appreciated!”

“Toby and Tinker did well with Theresa staying with them for 2 night, including 2 1/2 days. Theresa communicated well. She did a couple extra jobs I asked her to do, and even took her linens off the bed and washed them before we got home. This was the very first time either dog had spent the night without one of us. I would book Theresa again if she is available in the future when we might want her.”

About: Hello, my name is Kristina and I would love to become a pet sitter for you. I grew up in a family where animals were always a big part. From horses to dogs to cats, we always had furry friends around. I also grew up in a family where we were taught to take responsibility and care for our animals so I learned pretty young all the important things related to animal ownership. Some of the skills I possess are the ability to care for both puppies and older dogs. I have owned both and know that each has their own needs. I am also willing to administer medications and am a very observant person so I notice when things may not be quite right. I grew up with a veterinarian in the family and he taught me what to look for and what to do in case there is a problem. My goal is to make the time I spend with your pet comfortable for both them and you. As a pet parent, I know it’s tough to leave your four legged friend behind and I want you to be at ease about it. I currently work full time but work during the day so I have plenty of time during the early mornings and evenings to care for your pets. I would make sure to fit an extra-long play session in at night so that they can wear off that energy. Currently, I am not set up to care for other pets in my home as my older dog prefers her own space. As I know from experience with my own dog, animals are more comfortable in their home because it is more normal. My goal for caring for your animals in your home would be to give them as much normalcy in their routine as I can. I also would respect your home as it can be a bit strange letting someone come into it while you are gone. And of course, I would send as many pictures and updates as you want.

“Ava was a great dog and house sitter! I highly recommend her!”

About: Ever since I can remember I have adored animals. I have always been the person who would go over to a friend's house and end up sitting by their pet the whole time! When I became old enough, I started volunteering at my local animal shelter and pet sitting as much as I could. At the shelter, I walked dogs, spent time playing with cats and kittens, and helped clean kennels and cages. I have a senior dog and senior cat that I have had their whole lives so I have extensive experience raising and training pets, as well as experience with senior animals. I also have a rabbit so am familiar with different kinds of pet care as well! I am currently unemployed, though I do have potential offers in the works, so for now I have full availability! I will update my availability as it changes. Due to having 2 senior pets that hate all other pets but each other, I am unable to offer boarding at this time. However, I will provide any sort of care necessary for your pets in your homes! I am very good at following directions if you have a list for me, but I am also good at just knowing what goes into caring for pets, such as watching for potty cues and noticing when they need mental or physical stimulation.

About: Hello there! I’m a pet lover with 2 years of experience in pet care. I’ve had the pleasure of looking after a variety of pets, each with their unique quirks and personalities. My experience ranges from providing daily care for energetic puppies, to ensuring the comfort of our senior companions. I believe that every pet has its unique needs, and I always strive to cater to those, be it through specific feeding schedules, targeted exercise routines, or administering medication. I’ve also worked with several puppies, aiding in their training process from basic commands to house training. In my care, your pets will receive all the love, attention, and companionship they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and provide them with the loving care they deserve when you can’t be there. Let’s chat further about how I can meet your pet’s needs! I am currently working at a hospital as a nurse assistant, and my schedule is that I’m available on Monday to Saturday, from 12:00 to 19:00 While in your home, I always respect your space and maintain cleanliness, ensuring that your pet’s play areas are kept tidy. I am conscious about the security of your home during your absence and I ensure everything is left just as it was when you left. My goal is to make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and secure while you’re away. I’m excited to get to know your furry friends and discuss their unique needs. Are there specific routines, dietary needs, or any other special instructions I should be aware of for your pet? Let’s talk more about how I can provide the best care for your pet in your absence.”

About: As someone who grew up with animals in the house, i view cats and dogs as an extension of the family unit. In having grown up with and around both dogs and cats, I have an inside knowledge on what is required to ensure your fur baby feels safe, loved and cared for. I will make it my goal to ensure that my home is a safe haven where your animals see it as a "home away from home". I initially got into pet sitting after having my friends, neighbors, and co-workers, ask me to watch their pets for a few days so that they were able to go on vacation, have a date night, go away for a business trip etc, and from there I've found myself continuing to assist going on over two years. One thing that has compelled me to expand my services has been the cost-to-level-of-care ratio and the hassle that Boarding has had on my parents, co-workers, and friends. As someone who acknowledges the constraints and the need and desire of pet mom and dads when seeking out care for their fur babies, I invite you to book with me so that we can make sure that your pet can feel as if they are at a "home away from home". I work from home and am able to dedicate the time, energy, and care required to take care of animals with a spectrum of needs. Dedicated room for kennels and boarding, fenced-in back yard, safe neighborhood, ability to take extended stays due to a flexible schedule, bathing, walking, and potty training

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pup I meet—whether they’re full of puppy energy or enjoying their golden years. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior pups who need a little extra TLC and young puppies still learning the ropes. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs—whether that means administering medication, reinforcing training routines, or simply being their cuddle buddy while you’re away. I treat every dog like family, because that’s exactly what they are. 🐶🤍 I’m currently working a part-time job at the Dorthy Olson Aquatic Center so I have plenty of time in the morning before I head to work at 11:30, during our breaks, and after work at 7:30 to take care of your pup. I often have full days off where I can spend it loving your dog and taking them on walks. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, routine, and respect—for both your pup and your space. I follow your instructions carefully to keep your dog’s schedule consistent and stress-free, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, or medications. I keep a calm, pet-friendly atmosphere and always ensure doors, gates, and any potential hazards are secured. I understand that letting someone into your home requires trust. I treat your space with the utmost respect—cleaning up after myself and your pet, keeping things tidy, and keeping you updated with regular check-ins and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. 🐾
