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 3 years old. I can provide the need for walks and drop in visits and house sitting. I am available during the early morning and late afternoon and evening any day of the week. I work at a school in the Minnetonka School District. I am available all holidays and summer break. 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.

“Regina is a wonderful dog walker! We had a last-minute issue while I was recovering from foot surgery and needed someone to walk our little Coco for a few days. Thankfully, Regina was available to step in, and she has been fabulous! She is terrific with Coco, and I'm sure she is Coco's new best friend.”

About: I've been caring for my own dogs—an 11-year-old Wheaten Terrier and a 4-year-old mixed breed—for years. I’m experienced in feeding, walking, and playing with them, and I make sure they get the care and attention they need every day. I’ve also helped take care of pets for family and friends, and I truly enjoy making animals feel loved and safe. I’m a Sophomore at Clemson University who is at home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule for check-ins and walks. This makes it easy for me to spend quality time with your pets throughout the day! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love meeting new friends. I can crate your dog if needed and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and other pets for over 12 years through helping family, friends, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overnight care. I have worked at a dog facility in the past. I’m very patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to each pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with different routines and schedules to best fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet is supervised, cared for attentively, and kept in a calm, loving environment. I always follow any routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special requests provided by owners. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.

“Ashly is very flexible and so attentive to our needs. Always willing to modify things in order to meet the needs of Sadie and I.”

About: I have a sweet collie dog, two large cats, and a 23 yr old ball python I’ve had since grade school (we’re surprised he’s still around too). I’m experienced with traditional pets, rodents, and reptiles. I am a 80% remote worker - if I’m not home, I’m traveling for work, which I mark off on the calendar as unavailable - so if you can book me, I am around for your pets throughout the day. Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, or a little shy, I’m happy to follow their routines. I treat every home with respect, and every animal like family. ⸻ 🐶 Dogs | I am happy to hang with your pup at your home or visit for long walks. I do 3+ miles with my own dog and look forward to having different buddies with me on my walks. 🐱 Cats | If I’m sitting for your cat, I will give them all the love or space that they need. My cats are the mascots of my home, and I absolutely love meeting new kitties. I will be available for play, attention, and cuddles, or simply being someone in the house so that they’re not lonely. —Unique Family Members— 🐭 Rodents | I’ve had 6 pet rats in my life and think they’re some of the most wonderful animals: smart, affectionate, and full of personality. I also have experience with hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. 🦎 Reptiles | Although I only have Rex right now (my 23 yr old ball python), I’ve also owned a variety of lizards, amphibians, snakes, and feeder animals throughout my life. From a bearded dragon to a leopard and crested gecko, I’m familiar with preparing collard green salads, dusting crickets, maintaining humidity and temperature, and ensuring overall habitat health. I’ve ordered crickets in bulk—so I know they require care too. While Rex is currently fed frozen rodents, I’m also comfortable managing live prey if your reptile/s require them. As a remote worker, I’m available throughout the day. My mornings and evenings are flexible, so I can match your pet’s normal schedule. If you can book me, I should be available. I let your animals tell me how they want to be approached and handled. I don’t force myself on any creature, those both with fur and scales.

About: Hi, my name is Annalyse and I am 18 years old. I grew up around lots of animals, including dogs, so I have plenty of experience, and I can’t wait to help you and your furry friend!! I can do a variety of services and am willing to do same day services when I am able!! I currently work for the city of Chanhassen as a park camp leader, and pet sitting is just a fun side job!! I am looking forward to pet sitting in my free time, but it is not my main job, however I hope to provide quality care to you and your pets!! All pets need different levels and types of care, but all deserve love. I am willing to do any service except for boarding, as my current home does not allow dogs. I can do house sitting as well as over night stays, however I would request a meetup prior to either of those services to get to know you guys!!

I am reliable, communicative and flexible with scheduling and would love to care for your babies! Why book with me ⭐️ Complimentary meet and greet ⭐️ Tons of photos of your fur baby ⭐️Confidence in knowing that your animal is being loved and cared for I am in college but still have plenty of time to care for your loved ones!

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.

About: I’ve been taking care of different animals for some years. I have always been a reliable call to come and check up on cats, or take care of pups while owners were away. Being sure to give them lots of love and give them the opportunity to use their energy. It is important to me that pets still have their routine and comfortability as they did before. So keeping up with their usual schedule is a way for them to still feel at home, or safe while their owners are away. I’m available week days after 5 and weekends after 1 pm. I am around and have a flexible schedule to work around if need be! I’m happy to take the time caring for your pets! I’ve visited homes to take care of pets and always made sure to only focus on their fur baby. Coming over to give attention to the dog or cat. Being sure to welcome with a friendly face and smile and if challenges arise, I am patient and willing to work with your pet until their feel comfortable enough to comply.

“Steve was wonderful with Mac over the past few weeks. He took excellent care of him and paid close attention to Mac’s cues, helping him feel safe and happy during their walks. Mac was always happy to see Steve at the door—a sure sign he was having a fun time. Thanks again, Steve! :)”
