About: I currently have a snow Bengal named Rip VanWinkle. He's absolutely beautiful and the love of my life. He gets anything he wants. He's one.

“Margarita has been a wonderful, flexible, accommodating, understanding, champion for me and Spike. He is having a good time there. When I get him he is always a happy puppy and I can tell he is well taken care of. He comes home and he likes to take naps afterward, poor puppy having so much fun with her dogs and her cute youn son. Nice open space for Spike to walk on leash and not worry about his safety. Definitely booking again (already have the reservations). It’s nice to know that my 11week puppy has a loving and caring place that takes care of him while I am at work.”

About: I've intermittently assisted my sister at her pet grooming business over the past 10+years. This time is also when I started watching dogs for some of her clients and I then found clients of my own through word of mouth. I've stayed in people's homes with their pets, I've had pets stay at my home. I have experience with puppies to senior dogs, kittens to senior cats. I have experience with toy breeds to Giant breeds. Domestic felines to hybrid. I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my entire life livestock, wildlife and pets, I have a deep love and respect for them. I've always had a pet dog/cat or both.. currently both. My schedule is currently very open daily, weekly, weekends very flexible. I intend to prioritize pet care in hopes of building a good business base for the near future. Pets in my care get all the love and attention. Vet name and number, emergency contact, medications list needed... I have out door tie outs, a zip line tie out, out door kennel, 2 indoor kennels, I'll let your pet sleep in my bed if it's sad. I want the pets to always be as comfortable and stress free as possible, so whatever that looks like for them is what I'll provide.

About: I've always loved dogs. I've spent five years working at a dog shelter as office manager, intake person which includes giving oral and injection medications, adoption coordinator, feeding and watering, cleaning, and socializing. I'm available during the week before 9am and after 1pm. Weekends are open. I work at the humane society but don't get to interact with the furry friends. I miss them! Also, I enjoy nature walks and stop as often as the dogs do to look at things. :) My schedule is flexible. When I am with dogs, it is sometimes hard to draw my attention away from them because they are so very loving and giving. I like to give that back to them.

About: I’ve taken care of other animals since I was 6. I had multiple dogs and cats growing up that I helped care for daily. I have dog-sat and cat-sat for family and friends whenever needed. I now have a growing kitten that I’ve been caring for over the last year. I’m currently a 4th grade teacher in Owatonna and am looking to add a part-time job to keep me busy on the weekends and during vacations from school. I’m very free during the week, on weekends, and after school days. I’m willing to spend as much time with pets as needed and show them human compassion. Whether it is going on walks, getting belly rubs, or receiving treats for doing their best. I believe pets should be shown with the same love they show their humans.

About: I have been taking care of animals sense I was a kid always walking, the neighbours dog. I am experience in caretaking as I am a part time cna. Growing up we always had big dogs. I currently have one cat in the future will be adding to the family but right now he is plenty. I am currently working part-time and in my second semester of college looking for some weekend hours as my job doesn’t require me to work weekends. I will give your furry babies many belly rubs and always ensure a safe environment for them. I am responsible and trustworthy. I am willing to adapt to you pets needs.

About: I’ve had experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. I’m comfortable handling animals of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, administering basic care, and giving animals plenty of attention and affection. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My flexible job allows me gaps of time where I can tend to daily duties. I’m a college-aged student who is available to assist with your pets’ needs. My pets and those I take care of are treats really and with as much love and care as I can share. To keep things interesting, I will take my dog Rocko to new and fun locations for walks. I enjoy treating him with grooming and many treats. Rocko is like my little baby, and I am so excited to grow the number of relationships with furry companions!!

About: HELLO! I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from pups to senior pets who have special needs. I have done stuff like this ever since I was in middle school. I am very flexible with my time. I do have a cat allergy but that won’t stop me from that either! I’m always here to help you’re best friend 😊 Im very flexible with my schedule for a couple months! I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣

About: I have been around dogs and cats for many years, and some farm animals. I currently have two adult cats and one young dog. We live on 5.5 acres that are fenced-ish, but the yard is certainly not escape proof. My dog Scribble loves to play, especially with new dog buddies. He never gets tired. We have loop trails through meadow and woods all year round on the homestead but will also explore all of Dodge Center with pups on leash walks. I will also try obstacle courses and other games depending on what your dog is up for. I have yet to meet a cat I could not draw out at least a little. For dogs, we will have to try a temperament test with Scribble, who always wants to play more. I can offer boarding on weekends only because I am at my day job for long days Monday through Friday. I can offer pet drop in visits or dog walks in the evening year-round as long as your dog will share a walk with Scribble. A quick cat visit is easy any evening. Your pup's weekend will involve play sessions, games, leash walks and possibly unleashed walks and play, and exploring with exercise. Until I know your dog can be trusted off-leash and we explore the full property a few times, we will do leash walks only on our loop trails (about 20 minutes casual pace to walk them all). Our field is great for playing and offers lots of space to run around. There is always plenty to sniff and explore, with a trail around a pond, and many rabbits, squirrels, birds and deer about. Scribble never gets tired of exploring, and neither will your pet, even if we stay on leash. For cats, I can set up a private spare room and time to explore chaperoned. A private room will have a human bed, cat beds, catnip mats, and at least one climbing tower. Your cat will need to be okay with my guys hissing under the door initially and Scribble coming around to say hi with his tail wagging.
