About: I have been a dog, cat, and rabbit parent for most of my life and I love animals. My beloved cat recently died and I am missing the love of a pet but I’m not ready to get another one at this time. I will take very good care of your fur baby. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, and rabbits. I work 9-5 but can walk a dog during the day and my nights and weekends are mostly free to care for your pet. Any dog or cat is welcome! I have a two-level townhome with a balcony for outside enjoyment. I live in a semi-rural area so walks will include lots of trees and green areas.

“Nicholas was very prompt with the times we agreed upon. He took photos every time he stopped by to let Penny out. He communicated very well and was super friendly. I will definitely be choosing him for future drop ins for Penny!”


“Teresa did a great job looking after Misha. She conscientiously followed his route and routine. When I got home everything was in order and I was greeted by a happy boy.”


“110% recommend Alicia to anyone. She was very communicative and loved our kitties while we were gone. She played with them and allowed them to cuddle with her.”


About: I LOVE dogs and have fostered through second hand hounds (now the Bond Between) and the shih tzu rescue of Minnesota. I believe every dog is a good dog and enjoy helping them to bring out their best. My foster experience means I am knowledgeable about when a dog needs veterinary care, what to do in response to challenging behaviors, and how to calm down stressed dogs. My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as when you are home with them. Why choose me? -experienced dog owner and foster. You can trust my judgement about your dog’s care. -I am dog obsessed and will dote on your pup. -flexible schedule -competitive prices I am back in graduate school and can be home for the full day to supervise your pup as much as you want and need to keep them happy and healthy! I have a fenced yard and four friendly dogs who are used to fosters. If your dog loves the dog park, they will love my home and my garden. As a homeowner, I know how to care for a home and will look after your house like ours it’s my own- just as I will with your pets. I am a homeowner you can trust to look after your pet and your home if you need in-home dog sitting or dog walking.

About: Hi! I would be absolutely honored to care for your dog. Growing up, I helped take care of two family dogs - a beagle and a shihtzu-poodle mix. Now, I have my own furry companion. He is an American Staffordshire Terrier/Cattle Dog mix named Remmy, who I rescued in March of 2020. We’re an active duo, enjoying morning and evening walks every day, and sometimes a midday stroll too! He is good at adapting to any dog's energy level whether it wants some space or wants to play. He is such a sweet dog. Whether your dog needs lots of exercise or just a bit of fresh air, I can tailor their activity level to what suits them best. My dog gets along great with other dogs, so whether your pup loves to play or simply cuddle, they’ll have a fantastic time. I recently moved to a spacious 3-bedroom condo in Wayzata, with a nearby private fenced-in dog area, nearby walking trails, and close proximity to the lake. During your dog's stay, you can rest assured that your pup will receive all the love, attention, and care they deserve while staying with me. I also love sending updates and photos so you can stay connected to your pup while you’re away, just like I appreciate when someone watches my dog! If you have any daily pills or special diet requirements, please let me know as my dog has an allergy pill he takes every day, and I also prep his meals every week (so you can count on me to responsibly give them what they need.) Looking forward to meeting your dog and making sure they have the best time! Morning: Feed, provide fresh water, take them for a walk or playtime. Midday: A check in for potty breaks, treats, or light activity. Tend to their needs dependent on their energy levels Evening: Another meal, exercise (walk, play, or training), and cuddle time before bed I feed them daily. I give them the exercise they need. I like to make sure my plans revolve around the dogs during their stay so that your dog gets plenty of attention and love (I am a homebody!). :)

About: I have dog sat for many different breeds, ages and gender! I have a great amount of experience with helping potty training puppies and caring for old dogs. I love going on walks, I think it is so good for them to get out of the house and explore. I have experience with giving dogs medication. I love being active with dogs (if they’re able to be active). I have had dogs in my family growing up throughout the years. We had to put my last family dog Ruby down last April. I’ am a huge dog person, I have never had any problems. I do understand that all dogs are different but all need the same love! I am open on weekends and after 5:45pm Monday-Friday due to work. I don’t usually have a packed schedule. I am usually pretty flexible always. I currently live in an apartment but I have a lot of walking trails and parks right next to my home. If there is a routine that a client wants their dog to have, I will do that. I am an active person myself so I will keep them active if they’re able to do that. If the dog just needs to be let out/fed, I can do that also. Whatever the dog needs.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. What sets me apart is my calm, nurturing style and how quickly I connect with animals. I’m patient, observant, and always focused on creating a comfortable, low-stress experience for your pet. Because I work from home, I can give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your pup loves long walks, quiet snuggles, or just having someone nearby, I’m here to keep them happy, safe, and on their routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with love, respect, and genuine care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I love the balance pets bring—whether it’s a morning walk to start the day or a cozy wind-down in the evening. Having dogs around isn’t a disruption to my routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. Because I’m home most of the day, I can stick to your pet’s regular schedule, keeping things familiar and stress-free while you’re away. My goal is to provide a calm, caring, and safe environment that feels as close to their regular routine as possible. In my home, I offer a relaxed, quiet space where your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles. I keep a consistent routine and make sure they feel at ease with cozy rest areas and a stress-free environment. Only a limited number of pets are cared for at a time so I can give each dog the attention they deserve.

“Thank you so much, Hayley! I’m sure Scout loved spending time with you. I appreciate the thorough report card. Have a great rest of your weekend!!”


“Kylie was a great help visiting twice during a family wedding. She sent timely notes and photos so I didn’t have to worry about my dogs. I would definitely use her again!”



“Leslie came to walk my dog while I was tied up all day. She knew just what to do with my skittish dog who was scared when someone came into the house. Lots of treats and they got the walk done. Really nice to have someone to help like this!”
