About: I have had a dog (yellow lab) since I was in sixth grade, and I have taken care of coworker’s pets on occasion. I now have a rescue pitbull I love dearly. I can walk and play and sit with your pet to make sure they feel loved and have fun. I am currently out of school for the summer and I have a very flexible schedule, and I would love to come hang out with your pets! I like to hang out with animals and make them feel comfortable; I have a nice large fenced in backyard, and I have a car that I can take your pet in, if they like going in the car. I am used to giving a dog two walks a day, in the morning and evening.

About: I have been around dogs since I was born. I helped raise my childhood dog from a puppy to a senior and saw every transition that came with. I helped two of my roommates raise their dogs while I lived with them and I have been dog sitting on and off for friends and family for years I’m working at an internship part time while I wait to start teaching in the fall. I have a lot of free time on the weekends and I would love to spend it catering to the needs of sweet dogs. I would make sure to gather plenty of information from the client to make sure the dogs have the best time they can while their parents are away. I would spend time letting the dogs get to know me in their own homes so they feel safe and comfortable with me, and I would make sure to stay in communication with the owners.

“Super responsive, accommodating, and made sure my babies were taken care of like I would.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life: dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, fish, turtles, you name it. I also work from home so your pet can get steady company and attention during the day, not just a quick in-and-out visit. Happy to water your plants during drop-ins too, so everything’s thriving when you get back. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for years to feed, check in on, and snuggle their pets when they’re away, and I take that trust seriously. When a friend’s cat needed an emergency vet visit while they were overseas, I was there to handle it and keep them updated every step of the way. I also take direction well so if you’re working on training with your dog, I’ll follow your routine closely to keep things consistent while you’re away. I’m currently working from home so I am flexible with daytime walks and visits! I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, usually between 11am and 6pm I treat others space with the same respect I’d want mine to be treated with: I’m careful with entry access and making sure doors and gates are secure before I leave. I always double check food, water, and litter areas. If anything comes up, I stay calm, act quickly, and keep you informed the whole time.

“Savannah was fantastic. Super responsive, punctual, and reliable. Accommoded a last minute request with ease. We will definitely book with Savannah again in the future.”

About: With a lifetime of caring for dogs of all shapes and personalities, I know how important trust is. I show up on time, follow routines closely, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m an early riser, so morning walks before my workday are one of my favorite ways to start the day. I also keep my weekends flexible and am available for morning and afternoon walks. This consistency helps me provide dependable, stress-free care for both you and your pup. When caring for pets, I follow your routines closely and keep things calm and consistent. I double check doors, gates, and leashes, and I pay close attention to each dogs body language with experience from Chihuahuas to great Danes, I know how to keep every pup, safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“We are so grateful for Emilie. She is caring and detail oriented—the ideal person to look after our senior dog. Having her help has been a big relief when we need someone to stop in and take care of Lela.”

“Abigail was good with my 80lb german shepherd and easy to work with. Would reccomend.”

About: I've had 22 years of experience living with and loving black labs in south Minneapolis. I can accommodate dogs of any age. I love to be outdoors and enjoy walking. My work week is full; however, I am fully available on the weekends to dote on your pup. I am a teacher. From mid-August to mid-June my weeks are full. My weekends are open. I'm available over holidays. I am also available throughout the summer. I have a small home with a fenced-in yard and a park within blocks. For the past twelve years, I had a dog, and we walked every day. I greatly miss my companion and would love to shower your dog with lots of love and care.

“Molly truly treats your dogs like they’re her own. She fully embraces their personality, faults, quirks, and all. Anyone would be lucky to have their pets’ taken care of by Molly, they’re in GOOD hands!🤍”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats so I am versatile, bringing the silly to the park or the calm to the rest time. Would love to get to know you and your furry family members! I'm currently at home with my baby so I'm fairly flexible with my schedule. As long as I'm not nursing, I can pop over to give your fur babies some love! Before I meet your little buds, I want to have a thorough conversation with you about your expectations, pet, and home. If possible, I'd like to stop by while you're home to be introduced to your pet and get a tour. Communication is key and I want you to trust that your pet is getting the best care!

“Annie is fantastic! Our dog gets really excited when she sees Annie come to take her on a walk. Annie is a great communicator with us too. I highly recommend her to walk your furry loved one.”

About: Hi there! I’m Grace, a lifelong animal lover with a passion for caring for pets of all kinds. Growing up in a household that’s always had dogs (and often other pets), I’ve had the privilege of developing strong bonds with animals from a young age. My experience ranges from house-sitting and dog walking to working closely with puppies, giving me a well-rounded understanding of animal behavior and care. I’ve always felt a special connection with dogs, and over the years, I’ve gotten to know them as the unique, playful, and loving individuals they are. Whether it’s a lively puppy, a calm senior, or an energetic middle-aged dog, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and adjust my care to make sure they feel comfortable and loved. Since I work from home most days, I’m able to offer your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the day. I also love going on daily walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and outdoor time. For me, pet care isn’t just about looking after animals—it’s about building lasting friendships with them. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, getting to know their quirks, and ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away. I’d love to meet your furry family member and offer them the same love and attention I’ve given to my own pets over the years! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, as I work from home most days, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care to pets throughout the day. I’m already in the habit of going on daily walks, so including a furry companion in that routine is easy and would make my days brighter. Whether it’s taking a break to go for a stroll, offering playtime, or simply being there for cuddles and companionship, I’m able to give pets the care, attention, and structure they need while still balancing my work responsibilities. My flexible schedule means your pet will always have someone nearby to keep them company and engaged. I love getting the chance to care for dogs in their own homes or during walks. I’m happy to provide pet sitting or dog walking services at your place, where your pet feels most comfortable. In your home, I’ll follow your routine and provide the same care and attention I would give my own pets, ensuring they’re safe, happy, and well-cared for. I can keep them active with regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. While I may not have a pet of my own at home, I enjoy spending time with animals and giving them the love and attention they deserve in their own space!

About: Hi there! I've lived with and taken care of dogs for several years in the past. For past two and a half years, I helped my partner take care of Bubbles, a VERY anxious 60 lb Shepherd mix, who needed medication, loved to give lots of licks, and calmed down specifically to jazz music. Olive was a small (40 lb) shepherd mix, with a high prey drive -- while she'd try to get pets from anyone and everyone, we'd usually avoid other dogs on walks so she wouldn't get leash aggressive. Sadly, I've since moved away and can't have a dog in my current apartment, so I'd love to spend time with yours! I promise I'll be like the loving dog auntie your pet has always wanted. I'm patient, caring and responsible, and I'll do my absolute best to keep you and your pet happy and taken care of! I'm also covid safe, having been vaccinated and double boosted. Please do let me know if you have any special needs, requests, or questions at all! I am a remote worker with a very flexible schedule, and will be working from home with your pets :) I always follow whatever rules and procedures you may have for your pet, and always make sure to be respectful of your home as well! I'm currently working from home with a very flexible work schedule, so I'm available to be there for your pet. This is especially helpful if your pet has a daily routine that you'd like to stick to, as I'll most likely be able to accommodate. I do not personally board pets, but prefer to keep them in their homes, where they're most comfortable. I think this helps ensure that they have the best experience possible while you're away.

About: As a community oriented dog-lover, I strive to provide excellent service to both you and your furry friends! I have taken care of dogs or all kinds since I was young from Duck Tolling Retrievers, Cavaliers, Terriers, and plenty of our rescue mixes. I am an avid walker and love taking dogs out on their own personalized strolls. I have raised several puppies into confident dogs, been patient with the shy and the elderly, and am ready to play with rough housers. I am in a unique situation of flexible working hours to be available for your pets and you. Need sitting for a small mammal or reptile? Reach out! I have experience in all sorts of small friends! I am a full time real estate agent which means my hours are flexible. Most of my work is done right from home and my days are neatly scheduled to make sure when I need to be out of the house, I will be able to return within a few hours. My schedule will only be open so long as I have the time to care for your pet in my home without too many hours away. If you are boarding your dog, rest assured, they will be comfortable and safe with me. I live in a secure condominium that has been pet-proofed since day one with a live-in Cavalier who is gentle as a lamb. Dogs will never be taken out without a leash and will never interact with anything outside of the home without my supervision. With my schedule, they will be taken out many times throughout the day and can be kept on any feeding schedule you require.

“Launa is a gem. She is patient and understanding with my dog’s quirks ;) She has been reliable and available for repeat walks and I really appreciate that.”

“Charlie loves walking with Tracy. She has a calming and positive nature that helps with his high energy. He watches out the window for her. I really appreciate it, along with her flexibility with my schedule.”
