Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In West Minnehaha

“Rebecca was great! She’s so kind and sweet and our cat immediately took to her. Asked questions to make sure she had everything covered and that we were comfortable with her. She was great about updating us with photos and what she was doing. It took off so much stress from us. We will definitely be using her again!”

Hanna D.

“Felicia took great care of my two cats while my husband and I were away for several days. I received updates every day with photos and details on the visit. I have already rebooked! ☺️”

“Nicole is the best! We were gone almost a full week and came home to a cat with zero anxiety. She knows if we aren't home then her friend Nicole will be stopping by to make sure everything is ok.”

Heidi D.

“Claire is absolutely wonderful! The moment she walked in the door, my normally timid and skiddish German shepherd loved her, as well as my two other dogs. She gave great updates and pictures and we came back to tired (but not exhausted), not nervous dogs. 100% would recommend Claire”

I'm experienced with all level of dog, cat, reptile, etc. care at all ages, including training. I can do multiple feeding a day, administer medication, walk, play, crate train, etc. I have an enclosed backyard in a quiet neighborhood that is safe for dogs of all sizes.

“My kittys were well cared for and happy. I received daily photos from Julia. Julia sent regular updates to us about our furbabies, and our home. Julia even brought in packages, and mail while she came by. We were very happy with our service with Julia, and highly recommend her.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 16 years old. I adopted my most recent rescue about five years ago. I take her on multiple long walks every day! I also have experience with senior dogs and disabled dogs. I currently work part time and make my own schedule, so I can work around your needs. I am available for multiple check-ins a day, and will walk whatever route needed. I have a fully fenced backyard and live right next to a park with walking trails. I have a dog who loves playing with other dogs, but can be separated if needed.

“Mandi was fantastic! She made sure my kitten got plenty of exercise and stayed active, and she was incredibly responsive throughout. I felt totally at ease knowing my pet was in such caring and capable hands.”

About: With over 15 years of hands-on dog care experience, We’ve fostered more than 20 dogs since 2020 and spent 3 years volunteering at a dog rescue, focusing on training, exercise, and support for both reactive and rescue dogs. We also have two cattle dogs and specialize in positive, consistent puppy training. We have two cats as well. I (Zach) work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I'm happy to adapt to your pet's routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in your absence. I (Janexis) I'm a Teacher and I'm available after 4pm and weekends. One of dog required weekly shots, so we have experience administering injections. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we follow a structured, consistent routine tailored to each pet’s needs. We use positive reinforcement to build trust and encourage good behavior, always prioritizing your pet’s comfort and well-being. We're experienced with crate-trained dogs, but we’re also more than happy to share the couch or bed with your furry companion, just like home. Our goal is to maintain your pet’s routine while providing a loving, stress-free environment in your absence.

“Sheila was great with our cat! She spent extra time and sent lots of great photos and videos. Great communication throughout. Would happily recommend and rebook.”

Scott G.

“When I met Jocelyn, she took notes while I listed my dog's needs and gave care instructions. This was very comforting. Lex seems to enjoy her company.”

Nicole M.

“Excellent dog drop-in caregiver! Went above and beyond—came over for a meet and greet, sent lots of photos and clearly spent some quality time with the pups, dealt smoothly with an unexpected bathroom accident when my pup got overexcited, and was super gracious and flexible when I asked if she’d be up for a slight schedule change. Will definitely hire again and 110% recommend!”

Brandy D.

“Sadie was so helpful making daily drop-ins on our cat, while we were away. She was gracious in having to clean up quite a few messes he made, she made sure his food, water, and litter box were kept fresh, and she spent some time with him each day to keep him from getting too lonely. She was very easy to communicate with during our trip. Thank you, Sadie for taking such good care of our kitty!”

About: Hello, I’m Fran—a devoted dog lover and experienced guardian offering a highly personalized, in-home care experience for a select few dogs at a time. When you’re away, I offer your dog more than just care—I provide a true holiday of their own. Each dog is welcomed into a calm, thoughtfully held environment where they are not just looked after, but genuinely known, understood, and cherished. I believe we don’t own our pets—we’re entrusted with them. My role is to ensure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and deeply loved, with a sense of ease and belonging. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Each one arrives with their own story and personality, and it’s a joy to watch them settle in, open up, and truly thrive. Because I work with a limited number of families, I’m able to offer an experience that is unhurried, intuitive, and deeply personal—something both dogs and their people can feel completely at ease with. If you’re seeking a more intentional, personalized experience for your dog, I invite you to get in touch and explore availability. I understand schedules vary and sometimes life presents surprises where we need to find someone to care for our beloved pup at the last minute. I work remotely with a flexible schedule. Let me help you when you need it most. Every day, I plan activities to engage their brains and exercise their bodies, often involving adventures through the neighborhood, trips to the fenced dog park, and visits to the river on hot days. At the end of the day, we enjoy healthy treats that I prepare myself, which also engage their brains and senses. I live in Vancouver, Washington, with my 8-year-old black lab mix, Murphy, who loves humans and other dogs and is non-aggressive. My home is well-maintained with a large deck where dogs can play and relax.I work from home which means your 'kids' are never left alone for long periods.

About: I've raised my mini Australian Sheperd, Piko, since she was a puppy. I've petsat for neighbors multiple times in the past, and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even birds. I currently have open availability any day of the week, and am eager to work anytime with you and your pet(s). Shoot me a message if you'd like to book with me! I can give your pet plenty of attention and playtime, and will make sure that the pet's location is known at all times of the day.

“Provided very detailed daily little updates for each of our pets. Ensured they had clean boxes and water every night. Autumn brushed my kitties and got them out of their shells which I was not anticipating. Excellent cat sitter, will definitely book Autumn again!”

About: I am a French bulldog mom of 2 dogs. 4 yr old Remy and 6 yr old Wilbur. They are crazy and have a lot of energy. I grew up since I was little with dogs and cats in the home and have loved taking care of them. I let dogs be on the couch. I will take your dog on a lot of walks and have lots of play time. Cuddles on the couch too! I have a house and a good small fenced yard. According to family members my house is the doggy resort. l was also told my happy place is with dogs/animals. I couldn’t agree more! I only take 1 dog at a time so I can devote more time to your pup. I might consider two. Please let me know if you have any questions (about availability, pricing, etc.). I’m pretty easy going. If it shows I’m not available on my calendar feel free to still reach out, I might be available. Wilbur, Remy, and I are happy to meet you! **I will not take: large dogs (even if they’re under 40lbs), Alpha dogs, and dogs that pee inside** . I am currently on winter break from nursing school. That starts back up January 12th so I will not be here all day everyday once that starts up again. Currently though I work full time from home, and are home most of the time. I have a small fenced yard. I also have a doggy door built in the screen so pups can go in and out easily when they need to potty or bathe in the sun if I am not outside with them. Birds and squirrels frequent my backyard so if your dog likes to chase those and watch, they’ve got a front row seat! When I’m not home they can be crated if needed, or roam free inside, and I keep all doors locked. I also have security cameras inside and outside of my home. You can reach me any time, day or night with questions. I work full time from home. I am home majority of the time when not in school, attention to your pup is a top priority! I have a fenced yard and two dogs for your pet to enjoy! I also have cameras outside. Tons of toys and chew things for dogs to enjoy as well.

About: I have always been told I have a special touch with animals. When you’re away you want more than a pet sitter, you want your best friend to get some quality time! I work Thursday/Friday & Sunday/Monday from 10-6:15. Besides that I’m fully available to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, which means I’m present, attentive, and happy to adjust my day around what each pet needs to feel comfortable and cared for. I provide attentive, reliable care by keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress free. I’m great at following directions, and have a lot to offer when it comes to companionship, playtime, and a calm presence. For dog walks, I can accommodate your dog’s needs surrounding exercise, enrichment, and safety. I also send regular updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
