Paige was a wonderful sitter! She was so kind and communicative, leaving us great updates and pictures from her visits. We didn’t worry about our boys at all! Would definitely recommend Paige😺

Kolleen was so helpful to do drop-ins for a few days while we were away and our primary dog watcher was at work during the day. As a beagle owner she understood our crazy beagles very well and I could tell they were excited to see her each day from the photos she sent! She made sure to capture their cutest angles too! I would absolutely trust her again with our dogs for boarding or a drop in visit!

Jamie was awesome! Dependable: she came 2x per day on time. She sent a picture of our cat for each visit. Our cat seemed to grow in his attachment to her over time. We ended up with a happy and well adjusted kitty. Consequently our return was smooth and we were able to engage with our cat as if we had never left him. We will definitely call her again whenever we travel.

About: I have cared for animals since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have asked me to petsit, walk, bath and help care for their animals. I can care for puppies/kittens to seniors and everyone in-between. I rely on positive reinforcement for training. I can administer medications, trim nails and other care required. I have worked as a Vet Tech and currently I am in school to become a certified Vet Tech. I am currently in school with mostly online classes so I can seamlessly accommodate your pets care. I will send daily updates and/or photos if requested. I care for your pets from the comfort of your home giving you piece of mind while traveling while your pet will be less stressed.

Debdatta was fantastic during her drop-in visits with our dog, Summer. She took great care of her, making sure she was fed, walked, and given plenty of attention. It was clear from her updates and communication that she genuinely cared about Summer’s well-being. We felt completely at ease knowing Summer was in such good hands. I highly recommend Debdatta to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate caregiver, and we will definitely be using her again!

About: I have a nearly 6 year old Morkie and a 1 year old Cavalier of my own, and I’ve cared for dogs ranging from 8 weeks to 14 years old, weighing between 10 and 80 lbs. I have experience with puppy training and am comfortable handling different age and health related care needs. I’m also experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and ensuring pets are safe and comfortable. I’m available during both weekdays and weekends, and my schedule is flexible, so I can adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs. Since I already care for dogs regularly, I’m comfortable maintaining feeding and walk schedules while providing them plenty of attention as well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure pets are always supervised, follow feeding and walking instructions carefully, and maintain a safe environment. I’m experienced caring for both small and large dogs, and I will take time to help pets feel comfortable and reduce their stress while you’re away.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dogs and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dogs. One of my little ones loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have 2 of my own small pups (one that is a couch potato and the other loves to play, but isn’t pushy) and work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dogs).

Alicia did an excellent job taking care of my cat, Cloudy. She provided thorough and detailed updates every time she visited, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, Cloudy was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and attentive sitter!

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience raising multiple Norwegian Elkhounds, I’ve turned daily dog park visits into a joyful, high-energy ritual. Whether your pup loves a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or simply needs attentive full-time care, I’m here to provide it. From playful puppies to wise senior dogs, I tailor my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs—ensuring comfort, companionship, and peace of mind for you. Regular Off-Leash Dog Parkvisits to these parks: Susan E. Lurton Park - Orono Lake Minnewashta - Excelsior Carver Park Reserve - Victoria Pet care works well for me as I only have part time work with an investment thesis I am writing about. Local to Deephaven and the Lake Minnetonka area for 10+ years. I have a fenced yard and one 9 year old Norwegian Elk Hound who is dog friendly or I am able to dog/house sit at your place. Glad to provide a daily update.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child. I was raised around dogs, cats, and horses, and have always had pets of my own. I’ve worked with both large and small animals and also studied animal science, which helps me understand their behavior and needs. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals. I’m especially attentive to each pet’s routine and personality, and I’m comfortable caring for senior pets who may need extra time, gentleness, and consistency. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and keep communication clear with regular updates and photos so you always feel at ease. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding times, playtime, and any special needs. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. Walks, check-ins, and quality time are part of my everyday life. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment for every pet. I have a fenced backyard for secure outdoor time (for dogs), and inside my home is quiet and pet-friendly. For cats, I make sure they have a stress-free space, clean litter boxes, and a consistent routine. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’m very reliable and communicative, sending regular updates and photos so you feel at ease. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and truly cared for.

We were extremely pleased with Sophia's service. She was extremely sensitive to our recently rescued kitties. She kept a close watch on the weather situations affecting our home as well. We received daily updates and pictures which really helped us understand what was transpiring with the kitties and the weather (love that snow!). We recommend Sophia to everyone for her pleasant attitude, thorough work, and sensitivity to our fur babies. She is exceptional!

About: I've cared for animals for most of my life, both as a pet owner myself and as a pet caretaker for family and friends. I love working with dogs and cats alike, and I have experience providing all kinds of basic pet care (feeding, walking, playing, snuggling, basic commands training, etc.). I believe that every pet deserves thoughtful, intentional, compassionate care (and lots of love) to truly thrive, and I am always eager to provide those things for the clients and families I serve when they are away from their furry friends! My availability falls mostly to weeknights and weekends, as I do work full-time. I am happy to provide drop-in care and dog walking services on weeknights from 6-9 pm, and most weekends. I am also available for house sitting/overnight stays most weekends. I love providing care for pets in their own home environment, where they are most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I am happy to come over to feed, walk, play with, and snuggle your furry friends.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10 and have experience caring for them at every stage of life. From training and running around with energetic puppies to loving and supporting my sweet 14 year old childhood dog, Stanley. I have a genuine, deep love for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personality quirks ;) I truly connect with each one I meet 🤍 I currently work as a night-shift nurse, so I have plenty of off days in a row where I am in need of some puppy love! My boyfriend, whom I live with, works fully remote. So your furry friends will be cared for at all hours of the day :). I don’t currently have any pets, but I live near several parks and dog parks for plenty of outdoor time. My apartment also has a pet-washing station, perfect for cleaning up after a little too much fun! I’m happy to match your dog’s energy, whether that means long, active outings or slow, cozy days at home. I’ve experienced both ends of the spectrum: from a rambunctious puppy to my sweet 14 year old dog who loves nothing more than lounging for hours.
