Dog Sitting West Saint Paul

“Erica was great. We did a meet and greet before hand and my very nervous dogs warmed up to her immediately. She sent frequent updates and pictures! In one picture my dog was licking her face so I know that loved her!! We will be using her again in the future :)”

“Allison was great. She was very attentive to my cat and she was very understanding of the needs of a senior cat. I got regular updates and pictures and Allison put my cat, and me, very much at ease.”

About: I stand out as a dog walking partner because I focus on more than just getting your dog outside—I make sure each walk is safe, structured, and enjoyable for your pup. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual energy level, behavior, and needs, whether they prefer a relaxed sniff walk or a more active pace. I’m reliable, consistent, and communicative, and I always provide updates so you know how your dog is doing while you’re away. I’m especially patient with dogs who may be shy, excited, or still learning leash manners, and I’m comfortable handling a variety of personalities. While I’m not a formal trainer, I reinforce good leash behavior and positive habits during walks. I’m also mindful of senior dogs who may need slower pacing, extra care, or shorter, more comfortable outings. My goal is simple: to make every walk something your dog looks forward to and something you feel confident about. I go on daily walks which can range from 1-5 miles. I also work hybrid 2 days out of the week I am home so I can run errands while I work off my phone. I am a highly active person and live being outdoors when I can be. I am not offering care for pets in my own home yet since I am new this but eventually once I get the hang of out things go I will consider adding this service onto my profile.

“Brenna was great. She knew all the right questions to ask, and took great care of our special needs hospice cat while we were away. Great communication. Definitely will hire her again.”

About: Both family and friends have trusted me with short term and long term pet care. I love caring for their pets and treat them as my own! I love learning and getting to know each pet personality. I am flexible with many behaviors and am ok taking things slow and earning a pet’s trust over time. No rush! I work a full time job during the week and usually get off at 3:30pm. I’d be happy to care for pets near my home area. Weekend care requests depend on my schedule but I’d be happy to discuss with advance notice. Depending on what your pet is used to, I am happy to adapt to their needs in your home! Please feel free to leave me as many instructions you feel comfortable. I prefer lower maintenance pets but am not afraid for pets who need a little more love or attention.

“I will be forever grateful for Danielle’s loving care of my Emma. She went above and beyond. Period. Danielle followed every instruction regarding food and general care but what mattered most to me was her focus on Emma’s emotional wellbeing. Her kindness, love and knowledge of cats helped ensure a safe environment for my beloved Emma. The photos and videos I received from each visit was a joyful relief. I will definitely request Danielle again and again and again.”

“Alli was absolutely amazing! She was very responsive and did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were away. I would wholeheartedly recommend her and would be honored to have her as our rover again! :)”

“This was our first experience using Rover. Thank you for making it so easy. Macy S was the best! She was so polite and conscientious. She sent the cutest pictures of our cats warming up to her and it made us feel relieved they were safe so we could enjoy our time away from them. Overall very positive experience. Would use Rover again.”

About: I grew up in California on a cattle ranch. I've been caring for all types of animals since I was young. I absolutely love pets and promise to treat yours like my own. I currently lost my 15 year old coonhound, Nelson and want to spend time with your companions to fill the void Nelson left behind. I love to stay active and miss my walking companion. My neighbors and friends like to rely on me for help with their pet needs including weekend stays, morning and evening walks and making sure everyone stays on schedule with feedings. Since growing up on a ranch I have been conditioned to administer medications including shots to our animals. If you have a pet that is in need of attentive care while you are away, I am more than comfortable doing so. Friday -Sundays are free. My work hours are Monday- Thursday, 8am - 5pm. Weekends are best for round the clock care. I am used to waking up at 5 am to get a long walk in prior to work and coming home to immediately repeat that long walk. I prefer to stay in your home to care for your pets. I believe that when pet parents are away it is crucial to keep the pets in their same routine to reduce stress and anxiety. I love sticking to a schedule and routine.

“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat while we were out of town. We loved getting our daily Pickles update and she was a happy cat when we got home!”

About: I have grown up around pets all of my life, having had multiple dogs and cats throughout. As a teenager, I would be trusted by neighbors to sit multiple pets at a time while they went on vacation. More than that, I am familiar with senior pet care and administering oral medicine. I am currently working part-time so I am available and ready to handle pet care most days of the week, including weekends. More, I am able to do early morning and late night care. I can create a safe environment for your pet by finding their comfort and acknowledging what they need within the home. Likewise, on walks, I am able to handle large dogs and other animal contact, making sure your pet stays safe in my care.

About: I asked for a dog for Christmas every single year while I was growing up. My dad had his reasons, so the next best thing was to walk my neighbors Pomeranian (named Snuggles), which I did aaaaalllll the time. In college, I would dog sit for my coach here and there. My brother has a golden retriever that I have spent a lot of time with. And recently, I had my first experience of having my own dog. Technically it was my roommates dog, but I loved her like she was mine. I would take her on walks just because and when my roommate was out of the country for 2 weeks, I was the dog auntie. I'm a middle school math teacher, so I have ALL the availability in the summer. Once the school year rolls around, I'll be available in the evenings and on the weekends. I am more than willing to have your pet in my car if we need to get to walking trails, lakes, and other pet friendly places to walk. This would only be if you are comfortable with me taking your pet to a different location, otherwise I am happy to do neighborhood walks.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and currently care for my own cat, so I understand the day-to-day rhythms of both species — feeding schedules, play styles, quirks, and all. What sets me apart is the specialized experience behind that: I work at Woody's Pet Food Deli in Minneapolis, a raw and cooked pet food shop, where I talk daily with owners and staff about nutrition, food sensitivities, and health — so I know how to follow specific feeding instructions carefully and spot when something seems off. I also completed an internship at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota, where I helped care for injured and orphaned animals. That experience taught me a lot about reading animal behavior, staying calm in unpredictable situations, and giving attentive, gentle care to animals who need a little extra patience. I certainly bring a level of care and attention that goes beyond the basics. My schedule gives me a lot of flexibility to work pet care in throughout the week. I work Tuesday through Friday, 11:45am–6:15pm, and my job is flexible enough that I can usually step out for a quick break to let a dog out or handle a short visit during those hours if needed. Outside of those hours — mornings and evenings, Tuesday through Friday, and all day Monday, Saturday, and Sunday — I'm fully available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. That means your pet can count on consistent care and attention, whether it's a quick midday check-in or ongoing support throughout the week. Your home and your pet's routine matter to me just as much as they matter to you. When I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I stick closely to the instructions you give me — feeding schedules, medication, walk routes, and any house rules — so your pet's routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible. I treat your home with respect: doors and gates stay secured, I keep track of anything I use, and I leave the space as clean and tidy as I found it. Safety is always my top priority, whether that's making sure a dog is leashed securely before heading out, double-checking a cat can't slip outside, or keeping an eye out for anything that seems off with your pet's health or behavior. I also believe communication builds trust, so I send photo and text updates during visits, and I'm always reachable if you have questions or last-minute changes. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable handing over your keys and your pet's care, knowing both are in reliable hands.

“Sy was such a pleasure and did a wonderful job dropping in to visit my two cats for a week. She was thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and flexible. I can tell she and Lucas have a real love for animals and they love them too. Even my shy cat, Franny, warmed up to them quickly. I received thorough updates and lots of pictures that made me feel very comfortable leaving them knowing they were in good hands.”

About: I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who treats every pet like family. I also volunteer at a local cat shelter and have experience caring for my own dogs and cats and friends and family’s pets when needed. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets get the love, exercise, and care they deserve. Fun fact: I am also a Nurse so I am familiar with caring for others, mediations and recognizing changes in conditions! I’m currently working full time 3 12 hour shifts per week overnight as a nurse in a hospital. I have a lot of days off and prefer to work on my off days. My schedule varies each week, but I am willing to be flexible and open about sharing my schedule and working with you to help care for your pet. My cats have their own bedroom. I use a liter robot for waste removal, have scheduled play time, and administer their food on a schedule. Routine is important to them, but I also will do something fun or extravagant with them every once in a while, such as taking them on a walk in my pet stroller.

About: I have been caring for a variety of animals for my entire life, animals have always played a big part in my world! I enjoy talking my own dogs on long walks to give them time to investigate the world like I get to! I believe in giving all animals, no matter the size, a joyful life and am excited to adventure with your fury friends! I am currently on summer break, so my days are very open. I teach Pre-K in Saint Paul and would love to fill my day doing something I enjoy while I have the time to do so. I have a large fenced in back yard and a fun neighborhood to adventure through, if the care takes place in my space. In your space, I will remain respectful and responsible to your belonging and follow guidelines as to how your pet will be treated and cared for.

About: I am experienced in caring for all sorts of animals; from your standard dogs and cats to lizards, birds, fish, and bunnies. Personally my own pets were a cat, salamander, fish and a dog. I currently have no pets of my own which means I have tons of love with which I can shower your animals. I also have experience with giving animals medication. I work a job during the day from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, but am able to spend overnights with your animals as well as weekends or holidays (my family is local so I don't travel over holidays). I am available for dog walking, in-home/overnight care, or daily drop-in care. I want to make sure that the transition is as smooth as possible between my care and yours so I try to keep your pet's schedule as close to your current regimen as possible. I care for every animal as if they were my own and currently have no pets of my own which allows me to give all my attention to your furry friends. Before caring for your pets I love to get a little bit of a house tour to learn where you keep the food, treats, litterboxes, litter for the boxes, toys, etc. Additionally if you have your pet's vet information and/or list of nearby emergency pet clinics this is always appreciated information which I hope I never need to use but is good to keep on hand.

About: I’ve had pets for most of my life and have loved taking care of friends dogs over the years. I have a small (15lb) dog (4yo). Enjoy meeting new dogs for walks - and offer co walking if your dog enjoys that For my daycare dogs. I currently work from home. My dog loves having a friend around and we go on walks and play in the house. A typical day is a walk, followed by a nap on the couch some Zumiez in the fully fenced backyard another walk lunchtime nap another walk. For dog walking, I can take you dog solo or on a co walk with my little dog - based on your preference. Your Dog will play in the house/ backyard and every few hours go on a walk in the neighborhood. Your Dog will be welcome to explore my home as if it’s their own and we can adjust schedules to meet their needs.

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I can remember and the first thing I wanted to do when I moved out on my own was to get my own little puppy so I got my first mini dachshund who I named Bennie. He is the light of my life. I love him so much! I’m currently working part-time so I would expect to be able to visit a home once or twice a day. Probably once in the morning and once in the late afternoon or evening. I am very experienced with the dogs and I love to meet new dogs! I was raised around animals so I have a lot of experience with lots of different types of animals too.
