“Beth and her family took such good care of my Calliope while I was vacationing in Northern Minnesota. Beth sent frequent updates and pictures which I really appreciated. I will not hesitate to request Beth in the future when Calliope needs care!”
“Maisie was such an amazing help to us! She was very attentive to our newly rescued dachshund and was extremely communicative with us during the sit. She really cares about the pets she sits and we had a great experience with her helping sit Sophie while we were away for Thanksgiving. We will absolutely be booking her again, thank you! 🩵”
“Jenna was amazing with our two pups! We are new to the area and were worried since they have never stayed with someone other than family before. Dogs can always sniff out good people and as soon as they met Jenna they loved her. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hello! I am a life long pet lover and healthcare provider. I live on a farm with lots of fresh air and space to run. I can’t wait to meet your pup! Feel free to message me with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I work Tuesday -Friday. Also available for potty breaks during the day. I am mostly available on the weekends but could easily make a day during the week work as well. Our yard is not fenced in but we live on a dead end road. Dogs will be leashed while outside and supervised. Pets allowed in house and living room.
“Joy took wonderful care of our dog. She sent pictures and was very communicative. Our dog seemed very happy while in her home. I would definitely recommend Joy to others, and we plan on using her again.”
About: I’ve had my dog Zelda for eight years now. Still, each day is just as fun as the last. Her personality is never a challenge, and I love to play with her and take her on walks. My extended family also has many dogs I grew up with, so I am experienced with different types of dogs. I typically have free time in the mornings, as well as in the afternoon. Very willing to be flexible. My weekends are almost always open during the day; and that would be the best time for me to do longer days of care rather than just a couple hours of watching your pet. When I am not at school I have more flexibility during weekdays. In my home, my yard is not fenced, so Zelda is usually on a handheld leash (for quick outside time) or on a long leash (usually tied to the ground) when she wants to do her own thing. I always am supervising her outside to ensure her safety. I am very willing to adapt to different ways of having your dog be outside, as long as I am informed of them beforehand. When inside I always keep a close eye on my dog, as she tends to get into trouble here and there. I always make sure I have toys on hand, as well as treats. Whenever I am taking care of a dog I always try to make sure they are as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years through friends, neighbors, and family. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just extra cuddles and attention. I also understand how important communication is, so I always send updates and photos to help owners feel at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I always try to accommodate each pet owner’s routine to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for while you’re away.
“Gloria is everything you want in a pet sitter! She kept us updated the entire time and took care of our dog as if he was her own. It’s evident how much she cares for animals (her “kids” 🤍). Definitely recommend!”

On weekends, I’m completely available and fully dedicated to pet care, whether that’s watching over pets in my home or visiting yours. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family.

“Kaitlyn offered tremendous service on short notice. Not only did she ensure our cat was well cared for during a home visit, but she also went above and beyond in sharing pictures of our pet, her food and litter areas, etc. Highly recommended!”
About: I love dogs, the larger the better! I have watched dogs for more than 7 years now. I have looked after dogs from Miniature Poodles to Coonhounds. I have taken care of new born puppies all the way up to senior dogs that are blind. I have taken care of a chow that was super strong and most people couldn't walk her, but I could. I have even helped while my dog gave birth to her puppies. I currently own a Hungarian Vizsla and a Treeing Walker Coonhound they have a ton of energy and needs a lot of attention. I would love to help with your furbaby! I am currently working for Amazon. So I do work Monday-Thursday from 9:30am-8pm. I am delivering way out of town so I won’t be able to be to take out your pup for walks or potty breaks during that time. I will give your pet the attention they deserve and not ignore them. I love playing games with dogs and taking them on long walks.
“Grace took great care of our two kitties while we were out of town. She paid close attention to detail and was great at sending pictures and updates throughout the visit. One of our cats has asthma meds and the other is a wild child and Grace did great working with both of our kitt-os.”
“Maisie was a great pet sitter! We’ll definitely request her again when we need someone! She checked in on our dog, and was on time, and did everything we asked her to do. We loved seeing all of the pictures she sent with each visit! Before the visit, she was very communicative and appreciative of the notes we gave her. Definitely recommend!”
“Allison was awesome! This was my first time ever using a sitter, so I was a little bit skeptical at first. But we had a few meet and greets before I hired her, and she was amazing with my cat! She sent me videos and photos and texts when she would come by and feed the cat, and that helped put my mind at ease. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone, and I would love to hire her again in the future!”
“Breanna is very kind and attentive! She sent pictures every time she stopped in and spent a good amount of time playing with and giving our cats attention. Would highly recommend her!”
“Second time having Angelique pet sit for us. She took fantastic care of our kitties and was super helpful and responsive. She also took the most amazing pictures of our cats every day, it gave us both peace of mind and a laugh! I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Luella was absolutely an amazing cat sitter for us! She would send updates regularly, pictures and videos. It was so nice to be on vacation and know that our cat was well taken care of while we were away! Thank you Luella!”
About: I’ve had my two cats Fuzzy and Marbles for the past 12 years, and recently welcomed Loki into the family back in 2021. I love cats, and really enjoy getting to know each individuals unique personality. While my cats are indoor boys, I am also familiar with caring for strictly outdoor/ or farm cats. I am also very willing to learn if your cat requires extra care!
About: I have had a dog ever since I was born, so this has created a huge love for dogs for me. I am so used to walking and taking care of dogs and now that I am away at college I am missing that puppy time! I have years experience of pet sitting other dogs that come from different background and have more difficult care needed. I have also walked shelter and neighbor dogs in the past! I am in nursing school right now so I have random days that I might have meetings, class, or clinicals but this is my only job so I have time to spare! I am willing to take any extra steps needed to take safe care of your dog in your own home. Giving them love and treats is always helpful!!

“Heidi was kind and considerate, took great care of my dog. Unfortunately there were a lot more dogs in her home then I was aware of, I should have read more closely of her profile. Apparently my young puppy did not get along well with one of her older dogs, so we will not be using her again.”
“This was Harvest’s first stay at Beth’s. He had an amazing time. Harvest rarely eats when left with others (because he can be anxious). He ate all his food there! He is a tired out pup tonight. Harvest will definitely return!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I am part of a rescue and have had many fosters throughout my home, along with many dogs myself.

I did train my dogs starting at age 12 as well. Open at any time! Walks, potty breaks, petting session and everything in between! I have very few scheduling conflicts.

About: Hi! My name is Sage and I specialize in animal caretaking and welfare. I have lived my entire life with at least one animal in the house and I have been dog sitting on and off since high school. I am certified in three years of dog training and currently live with my lovely cat, London. I’ve never met a pet that I haven’t loved, and past employers would describe me as dependable, easy-going, and kind. My days are entirely open, except for the occasional one or two days a week where I am called in from one of my other jobs. I am also a full-time college student during the fall and winter time, but my summers are almost entirely clear. In my home, I live with my cat London, and four other housemates. If your animal stayed with me, they would never feel alone and would always have somebody in the house that can watch them or be there for all their needs. We have a lovely backyard full of grass, a back deck for lounging and sunbathing and a large neighborhood for daily walks. Your pet would feel like a king or queen in a castle! :)

Pets aren't just pets, they're family and I really truly resemble that through my care. I know how to care for your pets to keep them happy and healthy.

I also respect everyone's homes and places of living, and will leave it just the same or better than when I came.
“Maisie was awesome with our greyhound! She walked her for a full hour, about 2.5 miles. She was great to communicate with and super friendly! Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Thank you for handling my dog's so well. They were comfortable with you and happy and your services are greatly appreciated. I love my dog's as they are part of my family and I don't hand them over easily so, thank you.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and grew up in a home that regularly fostered both cats and dogs, which gave me experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. That background taught me how to be patient, adaptable, and attentive especially with animals who may need a little extra time to feel comfortable. I stay active by walking and running with my neighbors’ dogs, so I’m very comfortable handling different energy levels and making sure pets get the exercise they need. At the same time, I truly love the quieter side of pet care too, providing plenty of affection, attention, and cuddles so they feel safe and loved. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility, especially in the mornings and later afternoons. I intentionally keep my schedule open so I can be available to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. Whether you need regular visits or occasional help, I’m happy to work around your needs and make sure your furry family members are well taken care of!

For drop-in visits, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique personality whether that means energetic play, gentle attention, or a calm, reassuring presence. My goal is always to create a stress free, safe environment where your pet feels completely comfortable and cared for.
“Kaitlyn was great! My dog can be a real chaos monster but she’s so wonderfully patient, that she was able to get him out on walks and happy. I’ll definitely ask for her again if I need somebody in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets longer than I can remember - from helping grandma with her horses and barn cats to spoiling and training our own dachshund puppy and two amazing kitties - I am well equipped for any situation. Some background for me: I was born and raised in Alaska! There I took care of cats of varying abilities/disabilities/age, dogs of all sizes and abilities/disabilities/age, and fish! There’s been instances where I have stayed over a month to look over a special needs cat, and dug my car out after a heavy snow to make sure a hyper puppy gets a good hike in! I’m adaptable and communicative - you can be sure that I’ll send you plenty of photos and videos of your pet while you’re gone! Now I’m here in Minnesota to finish college, start life with my new husband, and take care of the pets in Southern Minnesota! I’m currently still a student! But I have Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends for the most part completely open! Otherwise, I will make sure to check in on your pets between classes to ensure they don’t go more than four hours alone. I can’t have a pet in my apartment right now 😭 but when I’m back home in Alaska, we had a fenced area for our dog while she was still with us, and we have two full-time indoor cats. We love to spoil our animals - lots of love, kindness, and a patient environment. Just positive reinforcement and steady routines over here!

About: I’ve grown up all my life around dogs; I’ve taken care of them from puppy to old sweeties! I have also dog sat for may other families besides my own, and have a love for all dogs small and large, young and old! I have tidy habits and a love for house sitting and walking. I’m currently a full-time graduate student taking two courses this summer ALL ONLINE. I’m in need of extra cash, lots of playtime with doggies, and a job that I will enjoy! I’m located in Mankato, but I have a car and a will to do my schoolwork in different places. As a house sitter and dog-sitter, my policy is to leave a place like I found it. I am tidy and respectful of homes, and prioritize the dog’s and the home’s health above all else. I am also used to any doggie accidents and am very experienced in cleaning up after dogs.
About: I am very experienced with both small and big dogs. I’ve taken care of a range of different dog breeds throughout my life, and have a huge soft spot for animals! I have grown up with dogs and cats since birth. ❤️ I am currently a student at MSU, as well as a part time job. I am typically available for a majority of the time on week days and weekends. I have grown up around pets my whole life, so I am very experienced working with fur babies! During my availability, I will strive to provide the best quality care for your pet, creating a safe, active, and comforting environment based on their needs.
About: I have loved animals my whole life. Anything that you’re little one needs, I am willing to provide. I will take good care of your pet and make sure they’re happy and healthy. I do have a part time job, but when I am not working I am available to be with your animal the rest of the time. I have a fenced in yard and two little dogs to keep your animal company. I have a crate if needed. I will give your animal the care that it needs while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all through my life, including chihuahuas, a yorkie, pit bulls, a dachshund mix, labs, rat terriers, and more. I love to create warm environments for doggos and give them space to be themselves. I currently work part time, but I can pet sit Fridays-Sundays and Thursday afternoons at times. I may be able to do drop-ins during the week. I can dog sit at the client’s houses and am willing to help crate train, gives baths, walks, and provide other various care services. I might be able to at my apartment, but have a dog myself and would likely need a meet and greet.
About: I have been watching pets since I was 13. My family and friends have always relied on me for years as their primary sitter. I have a wide range of experience from puppies to seniors. Trained in dog body language and behavior to correct inappropriate play and limit incidences in multiple dog homes or during play dates. Can administer medications and supplements. Experience with seizure risk dogs. I love to provide baths and nail trims/grinds when requested to provide a little something extra while caring for dogs. Reptiles and pocket pets (bunnies, guinea pigs, ferrets, sugar gliders, etc.) are a specialty. I have around 10 years of experience. Knowledgable in a variety of reptiles and able to efficiently learn more care to provide the best possible. I have some experience with birds, but happy to learn more. I work a part-time job giving me more time to care for your fur babies. I can sit on weekends that aren’t planned in advance on my schedule. Holidays sitting is dependent on care requirements as I like to spend this time with extended family. I don’t provide my home for sitting at this time due to my own pets and the limited space, and I’m a strong believer that your pets are more comfortable in their own homes. Overnight stays I don’t do with new clients, but can change with more familiarity. Due to this a potty break before bed is given, and I will be there in the morning for another potty and breakfast. I will also hang with your pets during the day on and off, and do any extra activities requested that fit with my schedule. I strive to maintain cleanliness when providing care at a client’s home. I will always clean up after myself and animals after a long stay. I try to stick to routines, but sometimes may need to adjust with my job. Providing baths and nail trims/grinds after a stay is a perk I like to offer to those wanting. Coming home to a clean house and pet(s) is very important to me when working with clients.

“Maisie was such an amazing help to us! She was very attentive to our newly rescued dachshund and was extremely communicative with us during the sit. She really cares about the pets she sits and we had a great experience with her helping sit Sophie while we were away for Thanksgiving. We will absolutely be booking her again, thank you! 🩵”
“Jenna was amazing with our two pups! We are new to the area and were worried since they have never stayed with someone other than family before. Dogs can always sniff out good people and as soon as they met Jenna they loved her. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her again!”

“Gloria is everything you want in a pet sitter! She kept us updated the entire time and took care of our dog as if he was her own. It’s evident how much she cares for animals (her “kids” 🤍). Definitely recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Aleah, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for pets. I grew up in a home with 6 dogs and 3 cats, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention, I’m comfortable with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a dog of my own, which has given me even more experience with daily care, exercise, training reinforcement, and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reliable companion while you’re away, I’m happy to provide personalized care to keep them comfortable, safe, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Because I currently have open availability, I’m able to be flexible with scheduling and can accommodate last minute bookings, extended stays, and pets who need more frequent attention throughout the day. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I have the time and dedication to focus on providing reliable, attentive care for every animal I watch. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space, providing regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind. I make sure pets get the exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship they need while maintaining a clean and secure environment. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and pet friendly environment where they can relax and feel at home. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and needs, whether they prefer active playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a quiet place to rest. My goal is always to ensure pets are happy, healthy, and stress-free while their families are away.
About: I have taken care of pets (mainly dogs) for many years. I have expertise in walking, training, and making sure your pet gets the best care on a regular basis. I am currently in college and have classes M,W,F. I work at a daycare so my hours are different everyday but I still have availability to care for your pets! My weekends are always open. I am looking forward to help out! I care for pets how their owners care for them. I provide them with a caring personality and follow their routine and owner's regulations. That could be going on walks, feeding them, and playtime. Most importantly I want them to be comfortable with me so do that I think it is important to do things with them that they are familiar with.
About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! I've been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes for over a decade — from tiny kittens to large breed dogs like my own lovable Cane Corso. Growing up surrounded by cats and dogs sparked a lifelong passion for animals, and I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. Whether your pet is high-energy or more laid-back, I’m confident in creating a safe, loving, and fun environment tailored to their needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love to meet your pet and make sure they feel right at home while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! I work a typical 8–5 job Monday through Friday, but I always make time for animals. I have a one-hour lunch break each day, which I use to go home and let my dog out, give him attention, and make sure he’s happy and comfortable. After work, you’ll usually find me walking, playing, or training with him—it’s one of the best parts of my day. On weekends, I’m completely available and fully dedicated to pet care, whether that’s watching over pets in my home or visiting yours. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-attended to. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you have. I’m patient, observant, and always respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. I also give regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands while you're away.

About: Hi! My name is Sage and I specialize in animal caretaking and welfare. I have lived my entire life with at least one animal in the house and I have been dog sitting on and off since high school. I am certified in three years of dog training and currently live with my lovely cat, London. I’ve never met a pet that I haven’t loved, and past employers would describe me as dependable, easy-going, and kind. My days are entirely open, except for the occasional one or two days a week where I am called in from one of my other jobs. I am also a full-time college student during the fall and winter time, but my summers are almost entirely clear. In my home, I live with my cat London, and four other housemates. If your animal stayed with me, they would never feel alone and would always have somebody in the house that can watch them or be there for all their needs. We have a lovely backyard full of grass, a back deck for lounging and sunbathing and a large neighborhood for daily walks. Your pet would feel like a king or queen in a castle! :)
About: Hello! I am a HUGE dog lover and I would love to hang out with your fur babies! Long walks, beachin, park dates, fetch, and cuddles are some of my favorite things, if this sounds like your pup I think we will become the best of friends! I have many years of dog walking and sitting experience and we always have the best time and I look forward to seeing my little friends again soon. I have no preferences on breeds and any size. I do have a Puggle (pug and beagle) at home and he gets along well with all dogs. If you have any specific questions, I’d love to connect with you and answer any question you may have. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! ~Ciara
