“MaryKate is awesome! Always prompt and reliable, and my dog loves her! I can tell that Mary Kate loves dogs! She also asks if there are any particular commands or trainings that she needs to follow for my puppy, which is nice for consistency!”

About: Animals have such a special place in my heart. I will treat your fur baby like they’re my own family to ensure they’re well taken care of. I have two teens who adore animals as well, and they love to help with walks, cuddles and play time. I currently work from home so my schedule allows a lot of flexibility. I can care for your fur baby in my home or yours. I have a large yard and lots of places to go for walks. For cats, I have a cat tree, water fountain and multiple litter boxes. I treat my clients pets like they’re my own. Your fur baby will receive lots of love and affection, timely potty breaks and walks (when needed), and food/medicine distribution.

“Amy is always very responsive and quick to accommodate my requests. We’ve been utilizing her very frequently for about a month now. She sends updates and pictures every time she stops by to check on my puppy. I truly don’t know what I’d do without her!”

About: I currently have 2 cats of my own that I take care of, and I also have experience with cat-sitting, dog-sitting, dog-walking, and more 🐱🐶❤️ I’m working part-time as a pet sitter right now and I can watch your pets on any day of the week (including weekends) from 3:30pm to midnight, but I am willing to make exceptions if I receive any inquiries for pet-sitting outside of my normal hours :) I mainly care for pets at the homes of my clients, but cats are welcome in my home if they don’t mind the company of my 2 cats :) 1 cat per day, and you have to bring your cat in some type of cage/crate. They will be staying upstairs where my room, litter box, and food/water bowls are located.

About: I love dogs, and more importantly, I understand them. A lifetime of caring for, interacting with and learning about animals has given me the skills to keep dogs safe, healthy, engaged, and of course, happy! I enjoy all types of dogs and all personalities. I have a degree in Veterinary Technology and took additional classes in dog behavior and am comfortable with dogs that are difficult for others, such as dominant or very timid. I feel a special connection with dogs that are unsure and love using my knowledge of them to help them come out of their shell. I have worked with hundreds of dogs in veterinary, rescue, boarding and grooming settings. I have attained a CGC with two dogs and done some agility. But mostly I love just being with dogs, mine and any I come across, walking, playing, snuggling, swimming, and anything that brings that smile to their face and that sparkle to their eye. I am honest, flexible, and will respect your property 100%. I am honored to be trusted by those I work for and am happiest when I hear "I didn't have to worry at all because I knew you were there".

About: Hi everyone my name is Alicia. I have always been an animal lover since i can remember. I have grown up around dogs. I have personally owned both cats and dogs. My family is also animal lovers. I have 3 daughters 14, 11, and 5. We love going for walks in the summer as a family. Your puppy/dog will have the best visit ever with myself and my family and will love all the attention from the kids!! We are always home on the weekends too so I'm always available even with short notice :) hope to hear from you soon!!!! And thank you for giving the opportunity to watch your four legged kids!! I am a stay at home mom so I have fairly open availability during the week and on the weekends. I do make my own work schedule so I can easily fit clients in. I am located in a neighborhood with little traffic so I can take your fur baby(s) out for walks around the neighborhood. Unfortunately at this time my yard is not fenced but they would never be left unsupervised outside.

About: I have been around pets my entire life! Dogs, cats and birds! I unfortunately just had to put my dog down and I miss him everyday! I live in Waverly. I work in the Waconia area and am flexible for scheduled walks and check-ins! Excited and hopeful for Rover experiences. Looking forward to helping others in need! Not usually busy in the fall/winter, so available more during this time! My family enjoys being outside playing and throwing balls for dogs. If this is something you are interested, we can make it possible. If not, please inform me! Feel free to contact me if I can help you and your fur babies out! I am home 2-3 days a week. I am flexible and open to drop ins whenever, if you are. I am excited for spring, I cannot wait to add more walks! I have not had any negative reviews! I wouldn’t trust anyone with my pet, and wouldn’t expect you to do so either. I am a trustworthy person and a former pet owner myself!

About: I am a certified veterinary technician as well as certified in Companion Animal Rehabilitation Therapy. I have been working in the veterinary field for over 10 years now. I love any & all things outdoors! Especially hiking with my dog! I would love to meet and help your animal get outside for some fresh air!

I currently work part time as a Certified Veterinary Technician/Companion Animal Rehabilitation Therapist. I typically work Tuesday-Thursdays.

That being said I can always drop in for happy visits or to administer medications if needed.

About: Hi there! I’m Kelsey — a Certified Veterinary Technician, full-time animal lover, and proud cat mom of six. My husband Rick and I live in Cokato, Minnesota, where our home is happily ruled by a crew of whiskers, purrs, and wildly different personalities. We share our lives with six cats, each with their own quirks and needs — from the confidently social to the quietly anxious, from the senior who needs meds to the youngster with endless curiosity. Living with such a diverse feline family has shaped the way I approach every pet I meet: with patience, kindness, flexibility, and a genuine desire to understand who they are as individuals. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I bring several years of hands-on clinical experience with dogs, cats, and pets who need extra medical support. I’m very comfortable giving medications, supporting chronic illness care, monitoring behavior changes, and handling pets who may be shy, nervous, or slow to trust. Special-needs pets hold a big piece of my heart — I know how important experienced, gentle care can be. I’m also building my confidence with exotics and pocket pets, and I’m always excited to learn about new species, routines, and little personalities. If your pet scurries, hops, slithers, or squeaks, I’m happy to meet them! Because of my own busy furry household, I’m not able to accommodate pets in my home — but I am more than happy to stay in your home, where your pets feel safest and most comfortable. Keeping their routine familiar helps them relax, and it lets me give them the kind of attentive, stress-free care they deserve. And you don’t need to be heading out of town to reach out! I’m available for daily walks, drop-ins, and companionship visits anytime your pet needs a little extra attention, exercise, or love throughout the week. Whether it’s a lunchtime walk, a play session to burn off energy, or a comfort check for an anxious pet, I’m here to help their day run smoothly. When I’m with your pet, they get the full package: – Warm, compassionate care from someone who treats them like family – Professional experience that gives you peace of mind – Lots of updates, photos, and notes so you always know how they’re doing – Playtime, snuggles, enrichment, and patience, tailored to their personality My goal is simple: to make your time away easier — and your pet’s time with me joyful, safe, and comfortable. If you’re looking for a sitter who truly understands animals inside and out — medically, emotionally, and behaviorally — I’d love to meet you and your furry (or feathery or scaly!) crew. 🐾💛 I currently work part-time at a veterinary clinic, usually around two days a week. The exact days vary from week to week, and I typically receive my schedule the week prior. Because of this, my availability can shift — but I’m always happy to coordinate and work with you to find the best times for visits or extended care. The rest of my week is dedicated to pet sitting, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daily check-ins, longer stays, and multi-visit days. Whether you have a friendly dog, a cozy-at-heart cat, or a unique companion with feathers, scales, or tiny paws, I provide care right in your home where your pet feels safest. Familiar surroundings help reduce stress, and my goal is to keep their routine steady and their world feeling normal — whether I’m popping in for a quick visit or staying through a longer trip. For short pop-ins, I focus on exactly what your pet needs in that moment: walks, meals, medications, litter scooping, enrichment, or just some comforting company to break up their day. For extended stays, I follow their routine closely — feeding, exercise, playtime, quiet time, and any medical care they require. I adjust my approach to each individual personality, from confident and social to shy, nervous, or slow to warm up. No matter the species or temperament, your pet will always receive gentle, attentive care and plenty of updates so you feel connected while you’re away.

About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. I've raised puppies, trained them and cared for them through all stages of life. Dogs are my passion! I am available most days, and anytime! My schedule is my own, not working for anyone else. This gives me total freedom to be available whenever you need my services. How do you choose someone to take care of your best friend and know you can trust them? I asked myself this question and realized that I would want someone like me to watch my own dogs. The reason? I simply adore dogs and treat each one like my own. When your pup is with me, know that they are my priority. Their safety and well being come first. I have a fenced yard and we live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I have 3 Pomeranians that are sweet and get a long well with other dogs and one rescue mixed breed who loves everyone! Dogs in my home do have freedom to roam, get cozy on the furniture, play in the fenced yard and sleep in bed with us. I will love your pup as if they are one of my own! I have lots of room in my home. I have areas where your pup can be away from my dogs if they prefer that. Know that your dog will be treated like a priority while in my care. Their well being will never take second place to one of my own.

I am a huge animal lover and would love to help love your pet as well! I am a currently a full time health care worker at the hospital so I work weird hours and often am available at various times. I recently moved to the area! I have a big yard surrounded woods! Dogs will be leashed at all times! I know first hand how nerve wracking the safety of an animal can be so trust that I have your pets best interest always.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 15 years old and have one of my own. Ready to play with and take care of your furry friend! I currently work 3 days per week, so my schedule is open and free the other 4 days! Reach out with any questions about availability. I have a fenced in large backyard and one playful dog of my own to keep your dog company. Safety and comfort are always important to me!

About: Hi, I have had a dog or two in my household my whole life, so I have grown up watching after pets. Also, the past couple years I have gotten into watching my friend's or family's pets if they are ever out of town or just need a sitter. Most of my pets have been playful so I have experience keeping them busy and playing with them. My mom and I like to go on walks a lot and sometimes we bring my dog along. I think what sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is what I said before about how I have always grown up with a dog in my household and all of my family and most friends have pets so I am always around animals.

“Janneke is great with Leo. She gives him a great walk and when the weather doesn’t cooperate she will play with him inside and still give him a potty break. She’s very dependable!”

About: I have worked with dogs and cats doing on 6 years now, and have had the opportunity to be around a ton of personalities and care for many different energy levels. In this, I also have experience crate, house, and yard training! Though I’m currently at college, I have quite a few breaks during the day in which I could check in on any pets and make sure they are happy, heathy, fed, and don’t need to use the restroom. I have all nights and most weekends free, and have flexible hours during most of the week. While it certainly depends on the personality and age of the pet, general care would include meeting the basic needs (food, water, bathroom breaks, and running/walking time) while also being ready and able to play, facilitate enrichment times, and cuddle especially clingy pets.

About: I love all animals and have been carving for dogs since I was a kid with my own pets. I have been caring for others pets for the past 3 years. I am available pretty much everyday to play with your pups. I am open weekdays and weekends if needed. I do in home and at my home sitting. I have a yard that backs up to a wildlife area thay gives plenty of room play. I have kennels available if needed. I have many options for dog parks as well for getting out and exercising.

“Olivia was amazing to work with. Very responsible and receptive to your needs as well as your pet's needs. She did a really great job of sending any photos and updates on each visit. Winston and Darcy appreciated the visits and hope to see her again!”
