House Sitting in Waite Park

“Ben was great. He came over a couple weeks before our trip for a meet and greet with our dog Bodie. We felt immediately at ease. We received photos and updates throughout our vacation confirming Ben’s dedication and kind care. We highly recommend Ben and look forward to having him come back again.”

“Suzuko checked in on Burg while I was out of town for a few days. She gave updates daily and updated me if there were any problems. She’s super reliable and I’d definitely recommend her to others. I definitely plan to book her in the future.”

“Mariah was awesome! Just what we needed when we needed it. It was a last minute emergency situation and she met up prior to make sure we were both comfortable. She took great care or our dog and provided updates without even asking. Will definitely request her services again. 😊”

Kerry L.

“Jessica was amazing! She sent updates the entire time and made sure all our pets were well taken care of. She even left our house looking like no one had even been there!”

Mikyla K.

“Very reliable! Felt safe with Amber in our home. Thank you Amber for taking such good care of our fur babies!”

About: I have owned several dogs of various sizes that I have cared for. I am a responsible person that is always punctual, and I get my work done as expected. I tend to prefer larger dogs, but small dogs are not an issue. Dogs with minor medical needs are not an issue either as I have watched my step sisters dog before while she was on vacation, and her dog requires seizure medication twice daily. I also have much experience with cats. Cats are fairly easy to handle, and I have been with cats of various attitudes, from occasionally hostile to extremely friendly. There is no job that is too much to handle. I am willing to put my best effort into taking care of your furry friends. I work quite a bit, but I will always make time for your furry friends. If it’s booked enough in advance, I’m able to adjust my work schedule to meet your pets needs. I treat all pets with respect. It is their home, not mine, and I treat them as if they were my child. They get the best care and lots of love. I respect animals boundaries just as I would expect a person to respect my own.

“Crystal took such wonderful care of my 2 babies (cats) and provided lots of pics and video clips. I liked knowing that my fur kids were in good hands while I was away. Will definitely book again with Crystal and highly recommend her services!”

About: I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. My love for animals started when I was young, walking dogs for neighbors and friends, and it quickly grew into a lifelong passion. As I got older, I volunteered at my local humane society and have continued providing trusted pet care for pets ever since. I have extensive experience working with dogs of all temperaments, including reactive dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who may show aggressive behaviors. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment for every dog in my care. In addition, I have experience with housebreaking as well as basic obedience training, and I’m happy to help reinforce routines and good habits during your pet’s stay. I have experience with house breaking and basic obedience training. I work part time from home which gives me a lot of flexibility to do what I’m most passionate about which is taking care of animals!

“Marissa is wonderful! She communicates well, my dogs love her, and my house was tidier than I left it. She vacuumed for me! I am very impressed and have already booked her for another stay.”

Jaime J.

“Attentive to our dogs separation anxiety and needs. House was left is good condition. Responsive to messages sent. Appreciate Vanessa looking after our dog!”

About: Guaranteeing love, attention, and compassion when you need to step away from home regardless for length of time or reason. I am highly dedicated to my families and their furry family members. I add a touch of difference with the care I provide to all of the animals I work with in that I treat each one individually and never work in a "cookie cutter" approach. I started working with and training animals (horses and dogs) at the age of fifteen. Throughout the years, my interest and passion with animals grew, as well as my experience. I currently have two dogs, a german shepherd and a very entertaining rescue mix. With my german shepherd, we are a K9 team with a search and rescue organization where we are called upon by law enforcement only for people who go lost or missing throught the upper Midwest. I still currently train dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, in addition to training service dogs through an individually owned local business. Due to my long-term experience, I am able to adapt to your pets' individual needs with age, both young and old. I am trained in pet first-aid and CPR, and I am comfortable with any prescribed medical care needs you may have necessary for them. I truly enjoy building a sincere bond and connection with each family I encounter so that when they step away, they can feel at ease and enjoy their time without distress or worry. Topnotch care is my priority! I have decided after many years of working in family care industries, that my remaining years, I want to follow what was my childhood dream. Working with animals, yet still getting to keep my other passion, family care. I couldn't ask for a better combination. With my many years of experience, I always adapt my care to each of my pets needs. As I previously had mentioned I don't believe in "cookie cutter care" approach. I tailor my care to each pets individual needs and concerns.

About: While I don’t have official experience, I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and I would watch my neighbors dogs when they went out of town. I’d love to spend some time with your pets this summer! I’m a recent college grad looking for some short term work for the summer before moving in August for my post-grad job. I’m available to drop in and walk your pets or spend a bit more time with them while you take a break! Happy to stay with your pets all night or just drop by for a walk mid-day! I’ll follow you and your pets lead on how far to go, how long to play, and what to do!

About: I've taken care of, trained and loved animals since I was little. Growing up that infatuation grew into a dream to have my own kennel and business. Now I own and operate Pawsitive Journey, so in a way uou could say that dream has turned into a reality. I'm experienced with a wide variety of behaved dogs, puppies and more. Don't be afraid to reach out. When your fur babies are in my care, they will be treated and cared for as family. I'm currently self-employed through Pawsitive Journey, so I will have plenty of time to provide your pet with the care, attention, and playtime you want and expect. I have a 6+ years of handling and caring for animals in general and would be able to provide the most comfort and the most exhilarating time while you are away, depending on what your pet requires.

About: Ever since my first pet fish, Freddy, in elementary school, I have live animals. I look forward to caring for your pets in your time of need 😊 I currently work full time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available during early mornings, at noon, and in the evenings. I am able to follow directions and requests that are family specific. I will respect the rules of your home. I treat all animals with love and respect.

About: I grew up caring for animals and have been responsible for their daily needs from a young age. I currently have three cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, and recognizing behavior or health changes. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident their pets are safe and comfortable. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule this summer, so whenever you need me I got you! Pet care is part of my daily routine with my own cats. I’m available for consistent visits and will always ensure your pet’s feeding, comfort, and well-being are my top priority! I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in your home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and any special care needs. I respect your home, keep the environment clean and calm, and ensure doors and windows are secure at all times. I’m attentive to your pet’s behavior and will provide updates so you feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

About: I bring two years of vet tech schooling and a genuine love for dogs and cats, offering safe, attentive, knowledgeable care that keeps every pet relaxed and happy. I'm currently working part time so I have lots of free time to care for your furry loved ones. My availability is pretty flexible for the summer :) I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who is friendly and crate trained. I’m attentive to noise, stimulation, and comfort, especially for pets who may be anxious in new environments.

About: I grew up on a farm with many farm animals along with many dogs and cats. As I got older I worked for dog a dog training company and my love for animals has grown immensely! I currently have a fish named Blueberry but would love to be out in the community to be able to help you and your family with dog or cat sitting. I am currently a college student I have classes for a couple hours a day and my weekends are free so I’m here to help. I currently like in an apartment that I can not have pets in so I can help take care of your pets in your home. I can go for walks or play with them for a while I know animals like a schedule so I’d like to make sure that your animals feel safe and happy.

About: I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats from two different boarding facilities, one larger and one smaller, personalized facility! I currently work as a groomer. In addition, I have both volunteered time at the local senior dog rescue, Grey Face 🤍 while also fostering multiple dogs over time. I work with dogs on a daily basis all ranging from walks, training exercises, enrichment, grooming and nail maintenance, etc.. Please ask about any services I may be able to provide! My personal dog is the contributor to much of my experience as well. I have knowledge in training behaviorally challenged dogs with behaviors specifically focused on separation anxiety, human reactivity, bite risk/management, dog reactivity, and basic fear and anxiety in dogs. To me, a happy dog is one not only one that can play to their hearts content but one that also is allowed the time for mental enrichment through interactive toys, positive reinforcement training, routines, satisfying walks, and through games involving food and treats all of which I have learned through my own research and enrollment in online instructions. I would be happy to care for your pets and provide them with the most enriching time possible. Pet care is my daily and weekly routine! My schedule is flexible and ever changing- so, I can always check my availability and work to make your pet fit into my schedule if possible! I personally have a fenced in backyard; however, I have experience walking multiple dogs at a time and handling dogs safely in open environments. I make intentional points to always be attentive to dogs regardless if they are fenced in or not. When I am caring for someone else’s dog, or my own, I make sure their safety is guaranteed. This is a skill I have sharpened since owning a fear reactive dog and caring for multiple dogs on a daily basis.

“She’s amazing! Great with the pups and gives awesome updates and sends photos. We’ve already booked her a third time.”

“Samantha stayed at our house for two nights to watch our old fella and it was great. Couldn’t even tell she’d been there and the dog was happy and taken care of. Will definitely have her again!”
