About: Hi! my name Juliana. As an experienced pet caretaker, I have the knowledge and skills that make me the perfect choice for taking care of your pet! I have taken care of both family and friend’s pets ( cats and dogs) and I understand the importance of providing attentive and loving care to make sure they are comfortable and happy. As a Dachshund owner myself, I know how important it is to follow routines and keep in mind specific needs. You can trust that I will provide your furry friend/child with the same level of care and attention that I give my own. Currently my schedule is limited because I don’t work from home, except for Fridays. Therefore, I’m available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for walks and drop ins. I can easy walk your dog and provide the exercise they need around the North Loop / Downtown Minneapolis area. For cat owners, I can provide visits to make sure food and litter are taken care of. Additionally, I volunteer at Minneapolis Animal Care & Control with both cats and dogs, which has helped me to understand behaviors and how to manage difficult situations.

“Nyree was amazing, and I’d highly recommend her! She came every morning for a week to let my fur baby out of her kennel, give her breakfast, and take her for a quick morning walk. Leia absolutely looked forward to her mornings with Nyree, and I’m so grateful for the kind, thoughtful care she provided.”

“We love Amy! Amy has been nothing but communicative as we figured out and got into the habit of weekly dog walking. Our dogs love their outing with her and enjoy showing/sharing all their toys with her when they return and cool down. She quickly won our dogs over and now they eagerly wait (probably counting down the minutes) for their weekly dog walk. I’d highly recommend Amy for pet care and we love having her be part of our weekly dog routine.”

“Amy is fantastic! She definitely knows dogs and is comfortable, capable, and trustworthy. She has been walking our Pearl for a few weeks now and it has worked out great. Pearl needs a lot of exercise and Amy takes her out on long walks with her dog, Luna, and they have lots of adventures, like seeing ducks, smelling good spring smells, and playing together. I feel so much better during the day knowing that Pearl will get a long walk and some social time!”

“Regina is amazing! She is so caring, her creative writing on my dogs “report card” is always something I look forward to. I know my pets are in the best hands with Regina”

About: I have more free time than I know what to do with and I know most people work odd hours or long days and could use puppy help. I also live close to dog parks and dog friendly neighborhoods and can keep dogs active if they need it. I’ve puppy sat for multiple folks days at a time and for those who just need someone to take the pups out during the day. I did have a rescue named Georgie who recently passed, and I miss him dearly. He brought so much joy to my life, and while I'm not ready to adopt again, I would love to help take care of dogs who need some extra TLC! I am a part-time student who can help walk, feed, pet, etc, in the mornings and evenings, as well as weekends. My time is open at the moment! I am more than happy to follow any and all directions, and have had my own dog in the past. My late dog Georgie was a senior rescue who had cataracts and diabetes, so I definitely understand the importance of following safety guidelines.

About: I have experience pet sitting for my friend’s dogs and casually dog walking for friends and neighbors. I’ve got a growing experience through my volunteer role as a dog walker at the Minneapolis Animal Care and Control (4 hours/month). I have flexibility in my schedule as I currently work fully remote, but do occasionally travel for work about a few days out of the month (if I do travel it’s during the weekdays). I’m generally always here in the Twin cities during the weekends. I’ve got a car so I don’t mind traveling a bit. When I’ve taken care of my friend’s or neighbor’s pets, it’s been for a couple of days (a week at most). Sometimes, I would drop by to feed them and bring them out. Or there’d be times where I’d just sit and do work at their home while occasionally taking breaks to play with their pet or socialize with them.

About: I have had animals my entire life and loving caring for them! I have had both large and medium sized dogs and currently have a sweet 5 year old cat. I have been a pet sitter for multiple years and am comfortable with all cats and dogs! I am available to stop by during the day most days of the week and weekend! I can be flexible with my schedule to accommodate your sitting needs. I love to play and be interactive with pets but also prioritize a safe and clean space for my animals! I am comfortable taking animals in my vehicle to parks and long walks outside.

“He did a good job walking my pup.”

About: I've lived with animals my entire life and have been taking care of my own since I was about 7 years old. I've had a few dogs in my family: a chihuahua, shar pei, golden retriever, pomeranian, dachshund, and a chow chow; with experience from puppies to seniors. Cats have also been a constant throughout my whole life, from kittens to seniors as well. There hasn't been a moment I haven't had at least one cat in my home. I've had a few other kinds of smaller critters too: guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and lizards. I'm well versed in pet body language and reading what they desire or need, and have lots of love to give your baby(ies)! They deserve the world. I absolutely adore all animals and spending time with them is my favorite activity. I have plenty of free time right now and can spend as much time as needed with your fur baby and make frequent check-ins or walks if desired! If your companion(s) is friendly to strangers, I will be sure to give them plenty of attention, play time, petting, and walks (if applicable) in addition to basic care and any other requests. If they're not comfortable with new people, I will respect their space and boundaries based on what they're telling me so they feel relaxed and safe. Every animal is different and I adapt to their personality and pace.

About: I have experience caring for my neighbor's, friend's, and family's cats for over 10 years, most notably being the go-to cat sitter for my childhood neighbor. I have always lived with cats, including my 2 year old cat, Bitsy! I always love being the one to brighten a cat's day when their human is away. I aim to go above and beyond when caring for your cat and home, to ensure you have peace of mind when away. This includes engaging your cat in play to keep them stimulated and active, providing necessary grooming, and cleaning up messes caused by mischievous kittens! I have experience and am comfortable with administering medications, both in pill and liquid form. I work full time in the office during the day, and am available for pet care in the evenings and on the weekends. I am flexible about timing, and am willing to work with your preferences! I aim to go above and beyond when caring for your cat and home, to ensure you have peace of mind when away. This includes engaging your cat in play to keep them stimulated and active, providing necessary grooming, and cleaning up messes caused by mischievous kittens!

“She has done wonderful with my fur baby. Very patient with great communication.”

“James has been walking my dog for a few weeks now and has been communicative, reliable and warm in every way. My dog Oona is officially in love with him.”

About: Hi, I’m Izzy! I am a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve volunteered with the Animal Humane Society, where I worked directly with dogs and cats of all temperaments, helping with feeding, enrichment, socialization and general care. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, build trust, and make every pet feel safe and loved. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m reliable, patient and passionate about keeping pets happy and healthy while their families are away. You can count on me to provide attentive, loving care, and plenty of updates and photos along the way! I am not working at the moment, so I will be around most of the time to take care of your pet. I may step out to run errands, but other than that I’m a big homebody! I start by learning about each pet’s schedule, personality and any special needs, whether that’s medication, favorite toys or walking routes. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with clean water, fresh food and a tidy environment. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and take pride in keeping both your pets and your home well cared for. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing everything is going smoothly. My goal is to make your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away, and to leave your home just as you left it.

“Dawn is so super sweet with the pups and is super good at getting Harley, my shy girl, out of the house without disturbing my meetings. Thank you for being so great with them!!!! I would highly recommend Dawn.”
