About: I'm a lifelong dog lover, and over the past 5 years I've been dog-sitting for family and friends regularly. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, as well as some experience with rescues and puppies. I love taking dogs on long walks on the trails near my house and cuddling up while reading or watching a movie at home! I am a student taking online classes, so during the work week I am available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks during the day. I work in the evenings on the weekend, so I'm only available for overnight boarding and sitting during the week. I live in a quiet area with my parents, one of whom works from home during the week. Our dog passed a few months ago (she was 15!), so we're missing having a companion at home and have lots of love to give. I'm within a 5 minute walk to multiple parks and trails for walks. There is also a large yard, however it isn't fenced, so leashes are a must!

“Savannah is wonderful! She is always right on time, positive and great with Amos. He already looks forward to his walks with her. She is such a great help to me!”

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: Hi, my name is Annalyse and I am 21 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!!

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.

“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: 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: My husband and I grew up with dogs our whole lives and we owned a small dog for 15 years. We are often one our neighbors and relatives call when they need a pet sitter. We are excited to meet new dogs and families and offer pet care. Our home is warm and welcoming and we like to give pets a lot of attention. We feel they are a part of our family when they are with us. You will receive pictures and regular updates while your dog is with us, so you can be reassured your pets are having a wonderful vacation too. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members! My husband works from home. I work from home at times and we have two older kids who are often home to help too. We are never away for more than 4 hours at a time. We follow the owner’s preferences. We will use leashes, harnesses, etc. when on walks. We will administer medications as needed. Dogs can sleep in our beds.

About: Animals have always been part of my life—from dogs and cats to hamsters, guinea pigs, and even a pot-bellied pig! Big or small, I love them all! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom finishing up my master’s degree, which gives me the flexibility to spend plenty of time with your fur babies! I’m available for sitting and walking on both weekdays and weekends. I prioritize following your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions or restrictions you provide. I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pet feels secure and cared for.

About: I grew up with a west highland white terrier named Duffy. He was my best friend! When I go on walks with my husband I have to pet every dog I see. Dogs seem to really like me. I am a freelance writer/editor, and I also do sewing, so my schedule is flexible. If I have to come to your home twice a day and you are within my area, taking care of your pet should fit into my schedule nicely. I will come to your home twice a day to care for your pet. I will make sure your pet is fed, watered, and gets any necessary medications, and I will spend time with them so they aren't lonely or bored. I will lock up your house with the key or code you provide me and follow any instructions for lighting/temperature, etc.

About: I have been dog-sitting and house-sitting since 1980. I have cared for senior dogs and puppies and everything in between. I am a responsible and respectful in your home. I focus on what you need taken care of while keeping your dog(s) happy and in their routine while you are away. You can leave feeling comfortable that your dog(s) and home will be lovingly cared for. (I’m sorry I cannot take care of cats or rabbits due to allergies, but I’ve looked after hamsters and chickens!) I am also a part-time elementary school teacher in the Deephaven/Wayzata/ Minnetonka area. I am typically available Thursday evening - Sunday and available after 3:00 pm, Monday - Thursday. My focus will be on your dog(s) needs and routine, and keeping them safe and happy in your home. I'm sorry I'm currently not able to care for your pets in my shared rental home.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I bring to every pet. I’ve had my cat for 8 years and have cared for family dogs, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to caring for my own cat every day. I make time for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and attention. I’m also flexible with my schedule and can make time for visits and care based on each pet’s needs and routine. I care for pets with patience, attention, and consistency. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll also respect their home, keep things clean, and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable while they’re away.

About: I have worked with dogs and cats doing on 6 years now, and have had the opportunity to be around a ton of personalities and care for many different energy levels. In this, I also have experience crate, house, and yard training! Though I’m currently at college, I have quite a few breaks during the day in which I could check in on any pets and make sure they are happy, heathy, fed, and don’t need to use the restroom. I have all nights and most weekends free, and have flexible hours during most of the week. While it certainly depends on the personality and age of the pet, general care would include meeting the basic needs (food, water, bathroom breaks, and running/walking time) while also being ready and able to play, facilitate enrichment times, and cuddle especially clingy pets.

About: I’ve taken care of, and grew up with, many different kinds of pets. Before moving out, I spent 10 wonderful years playing with, and caring, my family dog and cat! If you’d like, I’d love to meet, care for, and befriend your pets as well! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday, but I have flexibility regarding my schedule. On weekdays, I’m more free in the afternoon but on weekends I’m free most of the day. I have a park next to where I live where I’d be able to take your pet out and play with him/her. My apartment is also pet friendly!

About: I grew up with a Shih Tzu (Scruffy) for 15 years and absolutely loved him. I’m very comfortable around dogs and am looking forward to getting my dog time in :) I also volunteer at the Twin Cities Pet Rescue as a supply donation coordinator. I have a full-time job Monday-Friday, so I am available after work around 4pm to walk your dog as well as anytime on the weekends. I live in a house with a nice outdoor patio, and I live by a variety of parks and walk paths. It is a very safe neighborhood as well.

“Thank you for the perfectly timed walk! Alicja has been very responsive, helpful, and is great with our 2 pups. Our dogs are looking forward to their next walk with her!”
