Dog Sitting in White Bear Lake

About: I grew up on a farm and have had animals around my whole life. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and my work with people on the spectrum has helped me understand different personalities, routines, and comfort needs. I love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available most weekdays when I’m not babysitting my nieces. I spend a lot of weekends in the cities right now, but I’m occasionally available on weekends as well. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, park trips, or watching pets for a few hours at a time. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, quiet time, or just keeping them company and making them feel loved while their owner is away.

About: I have years of dog sitting and walking experience. I grew up with dogs and am comfortable with all sizes and breeds, including pups who may be a little feisty on a leash. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or full house sitting/boarding, I treat every dog like my own! I’d love to meet your furry friend and give them great care while you’re away! Feel free to message me with any questions. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, and head into the office Tuesday through Thursday. This gives me excellent flexibility for early morning walks before work, evening drop-ins or walks after the office, plus plenty of availability during the day on Mondays/Fridays, weekends, and overnights. I am happy to provide care for your pet based on your preferences. On leash walks, playing in your yard, staying at your home, etc.

About: I’m confident and comfortable with both dogs and cats, including puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy animals, and pets that need extra patience or attention. I also have experience with potty training puppies, reinforcing routines and basic commands, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have worked professionally for years as a pet sitter for a wide variety of animals. This has given me experience and confidence in handling different temperaments, routines, and care requirements. I also grew up homeschooled on lots of land, so pets have been part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. Because I was home during the day, I spent a lot of time helping with feeding, training, socializing, exercising, and caring for animals of all ages and personalities. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, whether they’re my own pets or someone else’s. I truly view animals as part of the family, and I believe every pet deserves individualized care, attention, patience, and love based on their unique personality and needs. I would treat every single pet as if it was my very own fur baby. I recently got married to the love of my life and moved to Mahtomedi! My husband works full time, I, however, have a completely wide open schedule! I have always loved animals and would love to fill my week days with taking care and of other people’s fur babies. Monday- Friday I am available any time of day all day. I am also available on weekends depending on the weekend, so please feel free to reach out and ask if the weekend you’re hoping for aligns with my summer plans. If I am staying in the pets home, I am sure to keep their routine as similarly as their owners do, so that both the pet and the owner feel as safe and comfortable as they can. I would be more than happy to send pictures and videos of their pet to update them on how they are doing. If the pets were in my home, I would do my best to make that temporary transition as smooth and as comfortable for them as possible. Whether that be bringing their own toys or bed, or letting them snuggle in the bed with me if that’s what they are used to. With my schedule being solely dedicated to pet sitting, your pet will never lack attention in whatever ways they need! Whether that’s endless walks and tug of war, snuggles on the couch, or just having a safe hand around to make sure they are picked up after.

“Tara checked in daily on our two cats while we were away for 8 days. She was a great communicator, always letting us know when she would be there and how the kitties were doing.”

About: Pets have been part of my family for my whole life. Current animals in my home include Timber (a 8-year-old English Cream Retriever) and Cedar (a 6-year-old tuxedo cat who is comfortable with cat-friendly dogs). My 1/4 acre lot features a large, fenced yard with plenty of room to run, and I am home almost all the time, so I can provide all the care and attention your pet needs. I look forward to meeting your furry family member! I work from home with a ton of flexibility. My schedule allows me the flexibility to give your pet all of the care they need. Your pet will receive constant care and attention with plenty of opportunity to play in my large, fenced yard. The interior of my family's home features plenty of space for your pet to relax comfortably, with room for crating if your pet needs. I have experience with pets who need medication (my own takes a twice daily medication) or special care. I would love to invite you to stop by for a meet-and-greet!

About: I have had almost every pet growing up that you can imagine. I have dog/cat sat for many families. We lost our last cat about a year ago and are recently retired(early retirement😀). I would love to watch your pet while you are away! I am retired and do vacation for about a month in Jan. During the summer my husband and I do a lot of fishing but I would definitely go around your pets schedule! Your pet will be treated as a family member at my home! Beds, couches and other furniture will NOT be off limits unless you specify otherwise. I do have a large yard unfortunately not fenced in but a park across the street for walking and exercising!

I have attended multiple dog obedience training classes and have dog sit for many friends and family's pets. We have two pet friendly dogs in the home named Wellington and Willy who are both pugs.

About: Hello! We would love to welcome some new dogs into our home either for short trips or longer stays. Our family has a 4 year old golden doodle who loves to play with other dogs. We are an active homeschooling family and my husband works from home as well so someone is home a majority of the day! The kids are often playing in our large fenced in backyard and love to throw balls, run around with or just snuggle with dogs! We love to get out for walks and spend a lot of time on the couch reading so there are ample amounts of time we can spend loving on your fur-babies! Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to see if our family would be a good fit. We want to be a place where you can feel comfortable leaving your dogs while you are away! For the safety of my family, my dog, and your dog we require all pets to have a meet and greet before booking. This will allow us to make sure that we are a good fit for each other and that I can provide all the care your pet needs while also keeping my family safe. As a homeschooling family and work-from-home dad someone is usually home during the day. We can work with the families to make sure that we can provide all the love and care that your dog needs and desires! We have a fenced in backyard and a sweet medium sized goldendoodle to keep your dogs happy and well exercised! As each dog is different we are happy to work with families to make your dogs stay away from home as comfortable as possible!

About: I've had lots of experience with a wide variety of dogs from family pets to working with Wag! I have a 8 month old German Shepard/Lab, Opal, so I am comfortable with puppies and high energy breeds. I also have experience caring for senior animals. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I am mostly available for weekend care but can do walks & check ins during the week if I bring my youngest with me. I am open to boarding and other care during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard for lots of fetch & play time. We love walks & hiking so lots of opportunities for exercise, fun & bonding with the dogs. I also have experience with crating if that is necessary.

“Malcalisha took very good care of my Buddah and managed to bond with him when I hadn't ever seen him not be terrified of other people. She sent updates every day via photo and video, and was very responsive to messages.”

“Bailey took wonderful care of our amazing doggos while we were on vacation last week, and we would highly recommend her for anyone needing drop in care. It put our mind at ease knowing that she was taking such good care of our babies, and that our elderly dog could stay in the comfort of her own home. Thanks soooo much Bailey!”

“Avery was super helpful in looking after our old german shorthair pointer. She was knowledgeable and understanding when we described our dog’s quirks and anxiety. She managed her beautifully and we didn’t have to worry a but while we were away. We’ll definitely re-book Avery again in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Elizabeth — a full-time, work-from-home dog mom living in a beautiful, wooded setting with trails right outside our door. Dogs in my care enjoy fresh air, frequent walks, and a calm, loving home environment. I’m outside with the pups multiple times a day — whether it’s structured exercise, supervised playtime, or a slow sniff-and-stroll for our senior friends. We have a sweet, social 2-year-old Standard Poodle who gets along with everyone — from rambunctious puppies to mellow old souls. My husband also works from home, which means your dog will never be left alone and always has an extra set of hands. I have experience with all ages and stages — from crate training curious puppies to providing gentle support for older dogs and administering medications (oral and topical). I follow feeding and care routines to the letter, and I’m always happy to provide updates, pics, or videos so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved. Whether you’re planning a vacation or just need a reliable day-to-day helping hand, I treat every dog like one of my own — with patience, play, and a whole lot of love. I work from home full-time, so I’m with the dogs all day — not just “checking in,” but truly present. We go on multiple walks each day, explore nearby trails, and take plenty of breaks for play, snuggles, and outside time. My own dog thrives with this routine, and I love extending that same level of care to the pets I host. Whether it’s managing medications, reinforcing training, or simply being a calm, consistent presence, pet care is a natural and joyful part of my everyday life. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a calm, structured, and loving environment with plenty of time outdoors I follow your pet’s routines closely: feeding schedules, meds, crate time, and any house rules you use at home. Dogs are never left alone for more than a few hours (both my husband and I work from home), and we keep a close eye on how everyone’s adjusting — especially first-timers, puppies, or older pets who need extra support.

“So thankful for Theresa! She took such great care of Sunshine while we were away. I highly recommend Theresa and will definitely use her again ;)”

About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats. Experience with both. We lost our dog in March so our house is feeling empty right now and would love to have your fur baby over to keep us company. I am also available for walks or drop ins in the evenings and weekends. I currently work full time, usually 8-4. I can come home on my lunch break for potty breaks. I only work 7 mins from home. I do have a 7 year old daughter that is in the home as well. We have a fenced in yard that is great for dogs to run. We also have a lot of windows and bird feeders for cats to sit and watch the birdies.
