About: Outside of my own animals, i’ve taken care of animals in both a family friend setting and a professional setting! Here to make your furry friends comfortable! I’m currently a student at the University of Minnesota studying animal science! So pet visits/walks give me an excuse to take a study break, while also making time to do something i love! My schedule will stay updated in my profile! Making sure the animal is comfortable is my number one priority! Ensuring they keep up with their daily routine, whatever it may be, is important to me! And of course giving them lots of love!

“Ciboney was great with Kylo! She was easy to schedule with and was always on time to check on him. I would highly recommend and will used her again in the future when we go out of town. Thanks again for helping us!”

About: Hi, I'm a student with a pretty flexible schedule and I can't wait to meet your pet(s)! I have my own dog who's turning 5 soon. I have experience with dogs of various sizes (8-80lbs) and all sorts of personalities, so I can't wait to get to know yours! I also love cats and have experience cat-sitting. During weekends (Friday-Sunday) I'm able to offer potty breaks and walks. I can adjust the frequency for your pet's needs if I'm sitting and not just dropping in! Their safety and comfort is my #1 priority so just let me know about their likes/dislikes and boundaries. I'm also comfortable providing oral and topical meds. I'm down to discuss booking outside of my listed availability as well. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I'd love to know: - Walk/meal frequency - Medications/History - Triggers - Likes/dislikes - Energy level As a student I have a really flexible schedule and can accommodate the needs of you and your pets. I can schedule outside of my listed availability with a little bit of notice! I think it's really important to meet my new animal friends where they're at and match their pace until they're completely comfortable with me. Please let me know their preferences so we can be fast friends!

“Rob is absolutely FANTASTIC and we would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a quality and dependable dog sitter. He is an awesome communicator and he genuinely cares -- he takes thorough notes, he stays in tune with each pup's individual needs, he is reliable, punctual and overall just wonderful at his job. We HIGHLY recommend Rob!”

“Ava was really amazing. She was very professional, and above all she was very thoughtful, kind and caring with our senior with special needs dog. She met with us prior to our scheduled drop ins so she was familiar with Cole’s needs and routines. She was an exceptional communicator, sending pictures and updating us with how things were going, and very understanding with our shy senior dog. We would highly recommend her and definitely look forward to using her again!”

Patti W.

“Marissa sent the best photos of Artemis while she was watching her! She was great to work with and I’ll definitely be rebooking for future visits!”

Questa R.

“Sarah was amazing! She did a number of drop ins with our dog, and we would definitely book her again. Her communication, care for our pup, and detailed updates were so great, and made us feel comfortable even when we weren’t there. Grateful for Sarah and hope to book her again!”

Katelyn M.

“Abbey was so great to work with. We had a few hiccups (all on my end!) and she patiently worked through them and was very flexible. Would highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and absolutely love caring for them! I currently have a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable with puppies, potty training, walks, playtime, feeding routines, crates, and all of the energy that comes with younger dogs. I also have experience with adult dogs of different sizes and personalities. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. I work Thursday-Sunday afternoons or evenings as a server. Here is a rough overview of my class schedule: Mondays: done by 10:30 Tuesdays: done by 12:00 and class again from 4-5:15 Wednesday: done by 10:30, class again from 6-9pm Thursday: class from 10-12:45 Friday: done by 10:30 Right now I live in an apartment, so id be able to stay at your house. I’m very used to staying overnight at other people houses

“Darwin was incredible! He did a series of drop in visits while I was away on vacation. He was very accommodating with my schedule and provided great updates /photos. I would definitely ask him to be a sitter again! Thank you!!”

Ciara W.

“Ashley was very accommodating was able to book last minute and squeeze me in and still meet my kiddos needs. Communicative and fast response to any questions or concerns I had. Thanks”

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: With over 8 years of experience in animal care, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, rats, and even lizards! I’m confident handling pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions who need a bit of extra TLC. I also have experience administering medications like pills, topical creams, and pet inhalers. I’m always happy to learn your pet’s unique routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m a student at the University of Minnesota and love spending my free time caring for animals. While my weekday schedule is limited due to classes and work, I’m fully available on Fridays and weekends and would be happy to dedicate that time to pet care. I look forward to meeting new pets and giving them the attention they deserve! Since I care for pets in their own homes, I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I stick to their usual routine—whether that means walks, meals, playtime, or meds—whatever they need to feel at ease. I know how important it is to have someone you trust in your home, so I’m always respectful of your space and do my best to leave things just as I found them (or better!). I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured while you're away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and try to make the time you're gone as stress-free as possible for both of you.

“Sarah was amazing with my cats when I needed a last minute sitter! Gave me wonderful updates everyday and the cutest photos of my cats to make me smile while I was gone. Would definitely recommend her and use her again if I needed in the future.”
