“Meganne and her family were so nice and took great care of Sport. She listened intently to learn about his medication and made sure she knew what he needed.

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: I’ve had multiple dogs and cats since I was a child, and have been dog/cat/housesitting since 2020. I’m a small business owner (massage therapist and virtual assistant) and former librarian. I’m currently self-employed and have some room in my schedule for additional business so I have several days a week available to dedicate to pet care. We also just recently lost our 17 year old chocolate lab/australian shepherd mix so I will be happy to spend time with your pup. I have yet to meet an animal who doesn’t like me, so we will be bffs in no time! I will keep you as in the loop on how things are going as you would like to be, with pictures and updates. Our cat Finn is very curious about and fond of dogs, so as long as they are ok with him, they should be good buddies.
About: I have fostered any age dog for 3 years! Have a dog of my own for 10 and grew up on a farm with many dogs and cats. Also going to school for a vet tech. I can take on a couple dogs or cats any day of the week. Someone is always home. Have 7 people in the house with 4 adults and 3 teens. I have a fenced yard and a dog friend to play with.

“Jada did a great job with our dog. She sent many photos to keep us updated. Jada seemed to really love him like he was her own. She had a clean setting to care for him and he got plenty of exercise. I would highly recommendation Jada!”

“Elizabeth was incredibly thorough and easy to work with. I felt incredibly comfortable leaving my animals with her. She is also excellent at communicating while she is sitting, and I would absolutely trust her to catsit again.”
“Morgan was an excellent caretaker for my cats. She arrived at the expected times and made sure to send photos of what they were up to each day, and she communicated regularly about their habits—e.g., one cat didn’t want her food one day, but soon went back to normal. The cats clearly enjoyed her company, and everything was perfectly in order when I returned home. Morgan also went above and beyond to leave me a hand-written daily log of activities and the cats’ behaviors. I would definitely book Morgan again and recommend her to friends with pets!”
“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.”
About: While my main work as a dog walker was regarding dog care, I also provided infrequent care professionally for various cats over the years. I have also lived with cats of roommates and taken care of them like I would my own pet. Beyond that, I've provided care for the felines of friends and family, from kittens who are snuggle bugs to older cats who really just want to nap in their favorite sun spot.
“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!”
“Wendy was great with our cats. She was consistent with her visits and updates. We loved the photos she sent. We could tell they had fun with here when we came home because one of them brought his wand to us to play with.”

About: I work in a veterinary clinic as a vet assistant and have worked with cats for a long time, even before the clinic! I’ve always had kitties in the house and know that every cat has their quirks! Cats can be more hesitant to warm up to people but I make it my mission to find that good scratch spot so we can be friends!
“Addison did exactly what i needed her to. She took care of my dogs and was super flexible with my crazy work schedule. I could tell when i got home by how happy my dogs were that she treated them good! I recommend her to anyone looking to get their dogs cared for!”
About: I have had cats since I was little and would love to take care of one. I will give the cat the attention and love it needs when you are away. I want your cat to feel comfortable and happy.
About: I treat my 2 dogs like children. Spoiled rotten. I enjoy animals more than I enjoy humans. Sorry, not sorry. My special skill is love lol I'm a travel nurse, working in different towns. Need more activities to do on my days off. I usually will have 3 days off. I have my dog with me and know how important he is. He is home. I prefer to go to the clients home and check on your dog and let him to go potty and or go on a walk.
About: I currently have the privilege of sharing my home with two cats: Phoenix, my 12-year-old senior queen, and Maize, my energetic 10-week-old kitten. I believe cats thrive when they have a safe, enriching environment that respects their individual personalities, so I've created spaces throughout my home with climbing opportunities, cozy hiding spots, window perches, and separate feeding areas to help them feel comfortable and secure. Phoenix is happiest when we are quietly existing next to each other. Phoenix has taught me the importance of patience, consistency and quality time in the trust building process. I have taken the time to allow her space to take the lead on the type of relationship she was willing to have with me. Like a lot of us, I didn't have background of the 10 years of life she had before coming to our home. Seeing her open up, create snuggle routines, engage in our daily conversations over wet food preparation, pay the cheese tax whenever she hears the bag, take belly up naps in the sun and slow blink back and forth while snuggling has been the most warm, authentic experience I have gotten to experience. She's my little soul cat. Caring for Maize is a little more hands-on. Before each meal, we have a short play session to satisfy his hunting instincts, followed by mealtime and either more play or quiet time depending on his energy level. Maize has been in new experience in caring for a kitten so young. We found Maize after he came running out of a corn field wide eyed and fill of cockleburs. It was never a question in my mind as to whether he would be the next member of our family, and now we are the proud parents of a 10-week-old, black kitten. It has been a completely new experience, but so incredibly rewarding. He has come from hiding behind the toilet and hissing at any movement, to demanding face to face nudges and kisses several times a day. It has been so fun to get to know this small, new little life that will create so many amazing memories for our family for years to come! Now, the admin side of kitten care has involved scooping litter boxes multiple times a day, keeping his space clean, and creating a schedule of healthy amounts of play and rest. I also regularly care for my friend’s cat, Remi. When her family is away, I visit several times throughout the day to make sure she's well cared for and has company. I love hiding her food around the house to provide her a little extra enrichment and always offer as many pets as she'll allow before she lets me know she's reached her limit and gets a little spicy. Every cat is different, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each one's unique personality while respecting boundaries.
About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I have the biggest soft spot for them, and I have two dogs of my own. I have had my own dog since I was about 19, but have had outdoor farm dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been around dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals for as long as I can remember. I am patient, detail orientated and I truly just love spending time with animals. Big or small, I love them all! I do work during the day, but I have the ability to pop out if/when I need to. I am free evenings and weekends. My schedule can be flexible if needed. I have a dog friendly home. To me this means there’s nothing but toys on the ground. Garbages are hidden and I am very aware of what is around my animals. I also have a dog park in front of my apartment!
About: I have experience with pit bulls, yorkies, dachshunds, chihuahuas, labs, golden retrievers, huskies, shelties, and more. I’ve taken care of pets all of my life and have a special love for them. I currently am flexible in my schedule and have some availability in many times of the day depending on the needs of my own dog, but still have a lot of availability. I take excellent care of pets like they are my own. A pets safety and happiness is most important to me and I will do everything I can to take care of them.

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I have worked at my local dog daycare and have experience outside of taking care of my own animals growing up. I have also pet-sat dogs before for family members and friends. I am using this as my only job, and don't have any other priorities besides being a student. I don't have any classes I have to go to; they are all online, so I will have a free schedule. I have a yard that your pets will be able to play and no other animals live in my home. I always prioritize safety, following feeding instructions, walk routines, and home rules closely. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and ensure pets are calm, well-cared for, and not left alone.
“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!”
“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.”
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 had a special needs basset hound and loved giving him the extra help he needed during his life. I also have experience with puppies, big dogs, blind dogs, and shy/breeder release! 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. Available almost all day every day :) With compassion and care. I would take care of your pet as it is needed and however you request! I would treat your animal and home as I would mine.
About: I absolutely love dogs of all breeds. I am very familiar with the “bully breeds”, and larger breed dogs. I love cuddles and exploring, playing with toys, and meeting new friends at doggy parks. Working from home allows me to not have to leave your babies home alone for more than a couple of hours if I need to do errands. My 12yr old loves all animals and is willing to keep your babies active or relax and lay around. We can be a very active household, but we like to have a relax day here and there as well. Our favorite time of day is walking or running outdoors. We are pleased to have any age dog around! When your pup is with me, they will be loved and treated as if they have been in the home with us their entire life. I currently work from home so have plenty of flexibility. We have a big yard with plenty of pup toys, we are very observant and make sure everyone is doing good at all times. I am a dog trainer as well so know a lot of different skills to work with most dogs.

About: I have been pet sitting for 4 years now, I love it everyday and I hope to expand my little business to more of you. If you have any more questions or want references please let me know. My neighbors just got a new puppy and I help out with her as much as they need. I also foster dogs here and there with my aunt and have tons of dog experience! I am currently free to help out all throughout the day and everyday! My schedule is open right now and I hope to help more of you! I have 2 cats and they just roam free because I trust them. My mom has 2 dogs who I help with almost everyday and my aunt also has 2 dogs so I am around animals everyday and I continue to learn and get better at taking care of them!
About: I walked dogs with a company for 4 years while living in New York City. The company specialized in individual household care, walking only the dogs of the household at a time. So no mess of leashes, just one-on-one (or two) dogs at a time. (I even got to walk Jimmy Buffett's dogs while working there) I cared for all manner and breed of dog, from ones that never ran out of energy and loved everyone, to dogs that just wanted to sit on the couch and didn't care about other dogs. And before that, my family always had at least one dog around while my mother trained puppies to be service animals. I have also provided care for cats over the years, having lived with them and cared for cats in dog/cat homes. My care for animals runs deep, and I love to see them get what they need to really be happy and healthy. I pay close attention to each animal and try to understand what they need and meet them where they're at, from unruly puppies to senior dogs in their sunset years. I'm currently self-employed, so I'm able to offer flexible availability to best suit the needs of each pet owner. I've grown up around pets and care deeply for their well-being, so I know how important it is for both owners and pets for the animals to get timely care and exercise. Having worked as a professional dog walker (just 1-2 dogs at a time, as to better give individual attention and care), I know how important it is to clients to be able to rely on a caregiver and trust their pet is in good hands. Each animal has their own needs that need to be accounted for, and those needs may change depending on the day or time of year. Being attentive, creative, and willing to go the extra mile means I'm giving each pet the best care I can each time.

About: I was blessed with my border collie when I was 8 years old, she lived for 14 years and unfortunately passed 2.5 years ago. I take any chance I can get to watch my friends dogs and cats while they’re gone! I work during the weekdays until 4 or 5 pm and have most weekends off. I have an hour lunch some days and could check on your fur baby while I’m home. I know the stress of your fur babies getting into things that could harm them while you’re gone, so if you need them crated up I will make sure they get put away!

About: I’ve lived with 5 hunting dogs my entire life as I was a hunting family and had to always take care of them at home. I now own two dogs of my own that are rescues and I love them as my own family. I have taught all my dogs to sit, fetch, and learn commands. They love to play and go smell around the neighborhood. Let me know if your pet has a special accommodations! I currently work 2-3 days a week depending on the week, so I will have plenty of time to play with your animals and let them out! I am used to watching anywhere from small to large dogs as I have grown up with all sizes in my family. If your dog loves to go on walks, great because I love to exercise!
About: I have experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. I worked in a doggy daycare/boarding facility for about a year. I’m so grateful for that experience because I learned so much. I learned to read doggy body language really well, so I have the utmost confidence that I can help your pup feel comfortable around me! I currently work at a veterinary clinic as a vet assistant. I’ve worked with cats and dogs of all sizes, temperaments and I’ve had my fair share who are picky eaters. So I won’t be offended if your pup doesn’t take treats from me! I have worked with dogs who are confident, and dogs who are shy and just need some extra time to warm up to me. While the puppy appointments are great, I also have gotten a lot of work in with senior pets too! Whether your pup is going to push me out the door to play fetch, or would rather spend some time in the couch getting snuggles and belly rubs, they’ll taken care of just like they were my own fur baby. Hi there! I’m Elizabeth! I currently work from 7:30 - 5 Monday through Thursday. I am currently available for house sitting almost every Friday and weekend. I am available for walks or play times after 6 pm most days Monday through Thursday! I currently have 3 amazing basset hounds and 2 cats that I live with. Our bassets have a fenced in yard, but I’ve also lived with mixed breeds. My mixed breeds have been anywhere from smaller dogs to 100+ pounds! I understand that some pets are cautious around new people. When at work at my veterinary clinic, I take my time with dogs that are more shy. I want all pets I encounter to be my friend, and I know it can take longer with some pets.
About: I recently transitioned from my role as an outpatient therapist to explore roles that allow me to be more emotionally and physically present in my own life. Throughout my career, I've been known for my warmth, patience, reliability, and ability to build trust. These qualities that naturally extend to the way I care for animals. I grew up in a home that was never without a pet whether it was birds, dogs, cats, etc. I learned from an early age what it means to provide a safe, loving, and enriching environment for animals of all kinds. Today, my own little family includes Phoenix, my wise 12-year-old cat and queen of the house, Gibson, my affectionate Golden Retriever, and Maize, my endlessly curious 10-week-old black kitten. Caring for them is one of the greatest joys in my life. I love everything from long walks and cuddle sessions to finding new enrichment activities and making sure they feel safe, happy, and deeply loved. I'll care for your pets with the same attentiveness, patience, and genuine love that I give my own. I'd be honored to be a small part of helping your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away! I have recently decided to transition from my previous role as an outpatient therapist and have plenty of time for visits and walks sprinkled throughout the day. I am available M-F from 7:00 AM- 3:00 PM for drop-in visits/walks/etc. I currently live in a two-story home with my three pets Phoenix (12-year-old cat), Gibson (9-year-old Golden Retriever) and Maize (10-week-old kitten). Each of my pets have aspects of our home set up to meet their individual needs, whether that is areas to climb, separate spaces for their food/water, windows to see the world through and full access to all the cozy spots. I love taking slow walks with Gibson, and allow him time to sniff and snoof whatever he pleases along the way. However, the weather in Minnesota is not always friendly for walks during the day. On these days I will often create enrichment activities for Gibson such as peanut butter/water "pupsicles", hiding kibble around the living room for him to sniff and find, peanut butter bones (when we are at a happy weight) and just overall pets and snuggles. As for my cats - Phoenix enjoys quality time most of all - so I try to carve out special time for us to exist in the same space, with pets as she pleases. She also enjoys playing with her wand toys, catnip in her cat tree or snoozing in one of her many enclosed beds or window hammocks. My 10-week-old kitten's (Maize) care involves more consistent responsibilities throughout the day/week. I play with him for a short time before his meals, feed him, offer some alone time or more play (depending on his energy level) and typically put him in his safe room for some time after this to rest. I repeat this three times a day, with the night play session being longer and more energized. I scoop the litter box morning, afternoon and evening. There are many days I have to clean his bottom, paws or space due to a poop fiasco - I have gotten good at making this quick and painless. I also spend a lot of my time redirecting and teaching the lesson "Fingers are not toys" (if you've had/have a kitten you understand). Overall, I do my best to create a safe, healthy and predictable environment for my little housemates!
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: Hi there! My name is Grace M and I'm a current educator who is available for weekend services OR weekday services, as long as they do not interfere with school hours (7am-4pm) I had a dog for 15 years of my life! Once I was old enough I was able to care for him when my parents were away and whenever I was home. Unfortunately, he passed now, but I went on to adopt two cats who I love very much - one is 5 and one is 2. I've done walks, I've stayed overnight, I've checked in at homes, I do what I can to make sure animals are taken care of in the most efficient way possible! I will make sure your pets enjoy the time that I am with them and I will make sure that you can put them into care that you can trust! As a teacher, I am unavailable during the work week between the hours of 7am to 4pm. I can do any walks or drop ins after those hours. Otherwise, I am free on the weekends, which includes Friday evenings! I have enough toys, trees, and scratchers to make sure my kitties stay entertained and happy. Scheduled feeding and clean litter boxes to make sure everyone stays healthy :)
About: I have experience with pit bulls, yorkies, dachshunds, chihuahuas, labs, golden retrievers, huskies, shelties, and more. I’ve taken care of pets all of my life and have a special love for them. I currently am flexible in my schedule and have some availability in many times of the day depending on the needs of my own dog, but still have a lot of availability. I take excellent care of pets like they are my own. A pets safety and happiness is most important to me and I will do everything I can to take care of them.
About: Pets have always been a meaningful part of my life. I recently lost my childhood dog, Sophee, and her absence has reminded me just how much joy and companionship animals bring. With years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even a variety of farm animals, I’m confident in my ability to provide attentive, loving care. I’d be honored to help make your busy schedule a little easier by ensuring your pet gets the attention, comfort, and care they deserve. I just graduated from Gustavus and am working a few jobs this summer to help me pay for my graduate school this coming fall! I work a restaurant job, so typically I’m only available before 4, or after 4, and I only know less than a week ahead. Despite this, I'm committed to making it workout with you and whatever pet you may have! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs they may have. In your home, I aim to keep their environment as familiar and stress-free as possible by sticking to their usual schedule and respecting your space. I also prioritize secure leash handling during walks and double-check doors and gates to prevent escapes. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and plenty of love.
About: I grew up with all sorts of pets, there’s never been a day in my life where I haven’t been near an animal! Not only can I care for your dogs or cats, but I can also care for any other pet that you may have. I know how to adjust to their personalities and care for them in ways that they need. I currently work at a school, which allows me to be fully available during the summer months, as well as on select weekdays after school hours. I will be available after school from 3:30pm to 5:30pm on Tuesday-Thursday. During the summer I am available Tuesday-Thursday 8:00am-5:00pm. While working at a school, I’ve developed patience, strong organizational skills, and a commitment to consistent routines—qualities I apply to every pet I care for. I strive to make your pet comfortable and happy in their home. When coming to your home, I respect your guidelines and boundaries; I will stick to your feeding instructions, walking schedule, any behavioral cues or commands your pet knows; and frequent communication regarding your pet.
About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I pride myself on giving each animal the same love and attention they’d get from their family. I’m experienced with administering medications, following special diets, and providing calm, reassuring care for anxious pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What Sets Me Apart: I focus on building trust through consistency, patience, and clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My background in handling multiple pets at once and caring for animals with special needs means you can relax knowing your pets are in capable hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight care, or weekend stays, I make sure your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to training routines, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level.
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 treat my 2 dogs like children. Spoiled rotten. I enjoy animals more than I enjoy humans. Sorry, not sorry. My special skill is love lol I'm a travel nurse, working in different towns. Need more activities to do on my days off. I usually will have 3 days off. I have my dog with me and know how important he is. He is home. I prefer to go to the clients home and check on your dog and let him to go potty and or go on a walk.
About: I have grown up in a household full of rescue dogs of every breed and mix. In my neighborhood, neighbors have asked me the past few years to watch their dogs and even some cats. It doesn’t matter the dog, big or little, I’ll be more than excited to make a new furry friend! My current schedule leaves me free time during the evenings so I could be your go-to evening gal! I will be available most nights before your dog’s bed times. I feed them, I can give them medicine, and I especially like to play with them! Come treat time, I like to make them work for their treat!

“Meganne and her family were so nice and took great care of Sport. She listened intently to learn about his medication and made sure she knew what he needed. They took fantastic care of him and he enjoyed hanging with her dogs and being in the country. I recommend Meganne and family to anyone looking for a caring, open-spaced settng for their dog.”

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: I’ve had multiple dogs and cats since I was a child, and have been dog/cat/housesitting since 2020. I’m a small business owner (massage therapist and virtual assistant) and former librarian. I’m currently self-employed and have some room in my schedule for additional business so I have several days a week available to dedicate to pet care. We also just recently lost our 17 year old chocolate lab/australian shepherd mix so I will be happy to spend time with your pup. I have yet to meet an animal who doesn’t like me, so we will be bffs in no time! I will keep you as in the loop on how things are going as you would like to be, with pictures and updates. Our cat Finn is very curious about and fond of dogs, so as long as they are ok with him, they should be good buddies.
