About: Hello! My name is Ryon and I love working with animals; dogs and cats in particular! All of my life I have cared for dogs of all breeds ranging from full grown Australian Shepherd's, to high energy Jack Russell Terrier's. Cats have also been a constant in my life and I have the patience and understanding to care for and love them the way they prefer. I am confident in my abilities to care for your pet no matter the situation! If you have any questions at all, never hesitate to ask. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pets soon! I am available on a part time basis and can be flexible upon request. I am free most weekends, early morning and most days with advanced notice. I have a fenced in yard with artificial turf. When visiting homes, I take care to respect the environment I am in. I am comfortable in most settings.

About: Working in the pet industry for almost 2 decades, you can trust it’s my passion to take care of your pet. It’s my greatest joy to spend each day with animals. I’m available between 1 and 2pm everyday, then again from 5pm- 8pm. Weekends I’ve dedicated entirely to for pet care. I love having a full schedule. I can use any type you’d like. Crates, kennels, leashes, harnesses, etc. At my own home, we use only a 6ft lead in the yard. No kennels.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life! From growing up with Springer Spaniels to caring for Labs, an English Bulldog, our beloved French Bulldog, and our neighbors' dogs, I've had experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs who need medications. I regularly help neighbors with their pups while they're at work or away on vacation, so I understand how important it is to have someone dependable who treats your dog like family. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and love spending time outdoors. Whether it's a walk, a quick drop-in, or an overnight stay in our home, my goal is to make your dog feel happy, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I'm always happy to learn what makes yours feel most at home! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a natural part of my day! I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in our home. I love getting outside and staying active, so having a four-legged companion along for the fun is always a bonus! My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that fits your dog's routine and your family's needs. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand that every dog has their own personality, preferences, and routines, and I want them to feel right at home. Our home offers a loving, family environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection! We have two children who love dogs and will enjoy interacting with your pup. While we don't have a fenced-in yard, your dog will never be outside unattended and will always be supervised and securely leashed when outdoors. For overnight stays, I prefer dogs to sleep in a kennel, but I'm always happy to discuss your pet's individual needs and routines to make their stay as comfortable as possible. Whether your dog is staying with us or I'm visiting your home, I'll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications, and daily routines. I'm also happy to send photos and updates so you know your pup is in good hands! Above all, I'll treat your dog with the same love and care I'd want for my own!

About: I grew up with dogs & cat's so my experience runs deep! We have 1 very friendly Mini-Golden Doodle pup currently as our family pet. We also have 2 very helpful kids!

About: I have experience in taking care of elderly dogs and young pups. I have trained my dogs and other dogs to sit, down, wait and shake. I live in the Lake Minnetonka area. I have a Chihuahua/Terrier/Maltese Mix and he is 5 years old. I can provide the need for walks and drop in visits and house sitting. I live on Lake Minnetonka and have a flexible job and can be available during the morning, day, and night and overnight to watch your pets. I am available during the weekends, holidays and family vacations during school breaks. I request to have clear instructions for walking/sitting dogs for harnesses, leashes, feeding, and toy preferences. I have a vet that I would use for emergencies.

About: I recently lost my beagle of almost 15 years and I’m looking for some furry play time. I have had a dog my whole life and appreciate all types. My beagle had several health ailments throughout his life so I am comfortable with medications and special needs. I was so grateful for the dog sitters I had, I am looking to provide the same comfort and security to you and your dog while you’re away. I currently work full time throughout the week, 8-4pm but my routine and schedule are very flexible if I need to come home during the day. My home has a fenced yard for your dog to get plenty of exercise. I don’t have any other pets in the house on a regular basis.

“Great sitter. Puppy loves her and she's a good sport about being dragged around by dogzilla.”

“Great! Responsible, trusting and loves my puppy!”

About: Hi! I’m Ashley — a dependable, calm dog walker focused on weekday potty breaks and routine walks. I’m especially great with anxious, sensitive, or routine-loving dogs. I move at your dog’s pace, prioritize safety, and keep visits predictable and low-stress. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk, I treat every visit like it matters — because it does. I’m punctual, communicative, and detail-oriented. You’ll always get a clear update after each visit so you know your dog is safe, calm, and cared for. I’m a great fit if you’re looking for: • Reliable weekday care • Consistent potty breaks or walks • Someone patient and gentle • A walker you can trust long-term I keep my schedule intentionally small so I can provide consistent, quality care. Weekly and recurring bookings welcome! Can talk about trialing running with your dog if you’d be open to that🙂 Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐾 I’m finishing up college online so I have pretty much open availability until I go back to school in-person for my master’s degree in social work. I care for your pets in-home based on the directions that you give me to take care of your pets. I’ll leave the house as I found it.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born! I’ve grown up with labs and yorkies, my extended family has had bulldogs, Great Danes and cavillier King Charles dogs! I live in a small town and love to be active and miss having a furry friend around! My schedule doesn’t allow me to have a dog as I travel for work, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week that I would love to make the most of with your best furry friend(s)! I work a job with odd hours and a flexible schedule but I do travel quite a bit. I obviously won’t be taking clients when I will be away, but I would like to utilize my free time to be able to help those who need services for their dogs and also get to spend time with them! I grew up with dogs and not having one is out of my norm- but responsible until I get my own yard! I am comfortable traveling anywhere to watch your pet, or we could chat about certain circumstances to make it happen! I live in a smaller apartment with no yard so I won’t be able to have dogs at my place

“Azumi takes great care of my two dogs! It's comforting knowing that they are cared for while I'm working 12 hour shifts. I recommend her as a reliable, conscientious walker!”

About: I have owned both cats and dogs in my life time, as well as pet sat for many friends and family over the years. I currently own a black American shorthair cat named Daisy :) I am a single mom who has my kids 50% of the time. When I have my kids, I cannot do overnights but I am open to dog walks, play dates, and feedings. When I do not have my kids I have more flexibility to be with your animal(s) for a longer period of time Given my townhome and the pet I own I currently cannot have animals stay with me. I care for all animals with the utmost gentleness and care. I am able to play with and walk dogs / cats

About: 🐾 About Me Hi! I’m Anna — lifelong animal lover, certified cat-obsessed, and the kind of person who stops to say hi to every dog on the sidewalk. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I lost my soul kitty, Aida, who taught me so much about love, patience, and tuning into an animal’s emotions. Because of her, I show up for every pet with extra gentleness, attention, and respect. I know how important it is to feel like your pet is safe, understood, and happy while you're away. I’m calm, reliable, and easygoing — but also fun, playful, and fully committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pet is social, shy, quirky, energetic, or a little stubborn, I meet them exactly where they are. 🐶🐱 My Pet Care Approach ✨ All animals welcome — cats, dogs, seniors, shy pets, and everything in between. ✨ I prioritize safety, routine, and communication. ✨ I’m patient with anxious or nervous animals. ✨ I give lots of updates so you never wonder how things are going. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets — so I make it easy by treating them like my own. 💬 What Services I Offer -Drop-In Visits Perfect for feeding, litter scooping, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins. I’m great with shy cats. 💖 Why Choose Me? • Calm, patient energy animals naturally relax around • Experienced with cats of all ages • Big heart for pets with quirks, anxiety, or special routines • Reliable, communicative, and never rushes through visits • A little extra love in honor of Aida, my heart kitty Since I work from home, it’s easy for me to step out for drop-ins or walks throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate morning, mid-day, or evening visits. Pet care blends smoothly into my week and gives me something grounding and joyful to look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the routine you already have in place. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications as needed. I also pay close attention to your pet’s mood and body language so I can adjust my approach — some pets want play, some want cuddles, and some prefer calm company. For house sits (no overnights), I make sure pets feel comfortable in their space, stick to their schedule, keep things tidy, and give frequent photo updates so you always know they’re doing well.

About: I have always had a dog or cat since I was 5. I do have a foster mama cat with 7 babies that are locked in a bedroom. I take care of neighbors, friends and family. I love animals and spoil them as they are my own. I love going for walks and will go as far as your baby goes. I only work on weekends so your baby would be alone for 7.5 hours both days. I am home all day Monday - Friday with working Saturdays and Sundays 7.5 hrs a day. Depending on weather we would go for walks and if not going for a walk then I take them out every 2-4 hours. They would receive lots and lots of love. I live in a townhouse so anytime your dog is out it is on a leash. I only work weekends so I am home all day during the week. We would play, walk and lounge. They would be spoiled for sure with the lots of pets and hugs. I have always had a dog since I was 5 when I got my first golden retriever. I know nearly every dog in my neighborhood. Some of the owners tell me that their dogs know where I live and pull to go to my house. What more can I say I love animals. If you are looking for someone to take care of your baby as though my own then look me up. I do foster kittens right now though they are confined to the spare bedroom upstairs.

“Emma is absolutely wonderful with Leia! She always does such a great job taking her on walks, looking out for her health and well-being, and making sure she gets plenty of extra belly rubs and cuddles. It’s clear how much love and care Emma gives her, and Leia absolutely loves her time with Emma. We always feel confident knowing Leia is in such good hands. Highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter! ❤️🐾”

I like to be as open as possible so feel free to ask anything to put your mind at rest. I’m currently not working, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m home most days, with my only scheduled commitment being a Zoom class on Thursdays. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have plenty of time for feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and making sure their individual needs are met. I also have dogs of my own, so I’m already familiar with maintaining a consistent pet care routine. I would be willing to take them on walks, play with them, cuddle, and feed/provide any medication they may be on. I want you to feel confident about leaving your animals in my care. I am very flexible and willing to provide any care you normally provide for your fur baby.

About: Hello! My name is Tyler and I've been around animals my entire life. I am very comfortable with dogs and cats, including in my home, as we have a four-year old Frenchie, Odie, and two-year-old Boston Terrier, Marzipan. I am a work-from-home sports journalist who can leave the house, often at specific times, to meet your needs. I also have the flexibility to potentially stay at your home or be there during the day to interact with your animal, as I can work remotely as long as I have internet. I have been helping watch my friends' animals over the last 10-15 years, giving me plenty of experience to help with your animal and give them all the pets they want while I'm there! I am comfortable with doing things like giving medication, putting in a crate, take on walks, etc. Please feel free ot reach out if you have any questions! I am a work from home sports journalist with a very flexible schedule. I do have multiple YouTube shows I do each week where I would need to be in my office, but those are around 11 and 6 on both Mondays and Thursdays. I can do most of my work remotely, so I can sit for you by either hanging out during the day or possibly staying the night. I will treat your dogs like I do my own: with care, compassion, and a lot of love. I am a kind hearted soul myself, and often connect very well with dogs. Whether you need them to be walked, on strict rest, get lots of playtime, etc, I will gladly do that for your pup like I do for my own at home.
