About: I am currently retired from working at animal hospitals for 30 + years. I have had dogs since birth! My husband and I enjoy fostering dogs through The Bond Between in Minnetonka. I am retired and home most days and nights. I do occasionally go into the cities to visit family. I am happy to work around clients schedules. I have a fenced yard. All my foster dogs have been treated like family. I have 2 dogs of my own that love having visitors.

About: I've always loved dogs. I've spent three 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 after 5:30pm. Weekends are open. I volunteer at the local dog shelter but need a little something more to fill my need to spend time with animals. 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: With over 10 years of experience dog sitting and house sitting for family and friends, I treat every pup like part of the family.🐶I may not have a dog of my own right now, but that just means your furry friend gets all my attention and love! Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or just being a comforting presence, I’m here to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.💛 Since I work remotely, I can turn any home into my “office” - which means your pups get company and care all day long!🐾From weekday fetch breaks to weekend adventures, I’m available when they need me. I’m happy to stay at your home so your pets can stick to their routine, and I’m totally up for long-term stays too. More time together just means more tail wags, more belly rubs, and more happy pups!🐶💜 I care for your pets right in their own home so they can stick to their favorite routines -whether that’s morning zoomies, afternoon naps in a sunny spot, or evening belly rubs.🐾Being in their familiar space keeps stress low and tails wagging. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles, and I’ll keep your home tidy so you return to both happy pets and a happy house. 🐶🏠🪴

About: I’ve been a dog (and all around animal) person for as long as I can remember! Growing up I always had a dog, or four! I’d love to provide some care, fun, exercise, and love for your furry friends! I would love to provide walks, playtime, outside time, etc. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages and multiple dogs at once as well! Animals have been a passion of mine my whole life, and I always strive for happy pets! After all, our pets are part of our lives, but we are their whole life! We owe it to them to provide the most loving care, and I’d love to spread that care around! I am open to visiting my clients more than once a day depending on needs of their pets! I can care for pets in my client’s home in any way to best meet their fur baby’s needs. I can take them outside for potty breaks, go for walks, whatever it is my client may need, I will do my best to accommodate. I am working on a more open schedule to accommodate more pet visits throughout the week! Ideally, I would love to take on a few pets to care for regularly! Happy, healthy animals are my passion! Pet parents know what’s best for their fur babies, and I am open and willing to care for them as if they were own fur babies, adopting any specific care routines suit your pet best!

About: I’ve done pet sitting jobs growing up, I always had pets growing up that I helped take care of. My 8 month old son also loves dogs. We are a very pet friendly family and hope to get a dog of our own one day. Prefer dogs that are good with kids I’m currently a stay at home mom so me and my son would love to help you by taking care of your animal and giving it some love I have a park really close to me that I can take your pet to on walks. It can hangout and play with us. I have no other dogs or cats.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young. About 10 years ago I started watching animals for Family and Friends while they went on trips. I usually stay and watch the animals since I work from home I will be with the animals most of the time. I can also drop in and let animals out if needed. I’m very flexible. Working from home gives me that availability. I’m able to stop over and let animals out if needed as well. I can feed, walk, give meds etc. I care for the animals in their homes. I’m unable to take care of them at my house. A lot of my friends and family prefer that so the animals don’t have to change their environment.

About: My experience comes from life. I’ve taken care of bunnies, reptiles, cats, and dogs. For dogs specifically, I worked at a doggy daycare before moving here, and before that, I watch many of my family friends' animals while they went camping or traveling. I have a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs including Great Danes, senior cats and dogs along with lots of puppies. I’ve also had a bit of training experience with puppies. As far as bunnies go, my roommate for a year has bunnies, and some friends from home do too. While living with my roommate, I’ve watched her bunnies many times while she was away. My best friend has reptiles that I’ve fed and taken care of as well. Since leaving the doggy daycare and moving, I have truly missed the joy of connecting and building bonds with animals, and there’s nothing like having the pet parents proud or happy with the work you’ve done. I am currently working part time so I’m very flexible on time. Mornings before 10 are almost always completely open. My shifts go for 5 hours maximum when I do work. I minimum like to spend 30 minutes with any animal to be sure all of their needs are met however, if it looks like the animal wants more, I end up staying for an extra 10-15 minutes so the animal can also gain a level of comfortability with me. I like to leave knowing that the animal is cared for but more so content with the attention and love that they deserve to have every day.

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.

“Kaylin is a sweetheart who answered communications quickly, helped develop a plan to meet our needs while learning about our dogs and our preferences, and took excellent care of our dogs during our absence. Very happy with her service; not a single complaint. We'll use her services again next time and highly recommend her to you. In fact, a friend of ours has already hired her too!”

I live with my family my husband and my daughter Shelly and my son Noah who is almost 7 years old. I live in a home with a fenced yard and I walk the dogs all the time.

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: An animal lover since before I could walk, I have a special spot in my heart for dogs. I am willing to work with all breeds, but request you are upfront with the level of training that your dog currently has. I'm available between 7am and 7pm most days. I request a 3 day notice so I can ensure to get your loved one on the schedule. Dependent on the reactivity and level of training of your dog; walks may include sidewalks, trails, or nature preserve. Dependent on weather, I may decline a walk if temperatures are too extreme for your pet.

About: I have 5 amazing dogs of my own, 1 pitbull, 2 American Eskimo mini and 2 Pomeranians. I had 2 liter of puppies from my dogs (1st liter was 10 pups, 2nd liter was 5 pups) and was able to raise them well for their furever home. I run a lot, so if your dog needs to exercise, you can count me in. Or simply needs a rest day, or any kind of special needs, I’m your girl. I work full time and have my own babies to care for, but I’m a super dog mom so I’m pretty flexible and prepared for anything. With my own experiences of owning 5 dogs, and raising 15 puppies, I feel like that should speak for itself. I do have a fenced in yard, I love dogs and I want them to be happy while they're with me or their own homes.

About: I’ve taken care of many different dog breeds ranging from small to large. I have two of my own dogs as well as help take care of my family and friends dogs when they are gone! I currently am a college student looking to spend my free time with animals! I am usually available Monday through Friday and some weekends if I know in advance! I enjoy going on long and short walks plus give treats for good behavior! I play fetch with my dogs and bring them on car rides often!
