Pet Sitting in Winthrop

““We couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for our furry family member! Aphra’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. Our pet’s Kyra and Brutus, were pampered and showered with affection during their visits. Aphra’s updates and photos were a heartwarming touch, providing us with much-needed reassurance. Her reliability and professionalism make her our go-to sitter from now on. Thank you, Aphra, for providing such exceptional care!””

About: I have owned between 2-4 dogs my entire life, ranging from small-large in size. I currently have a medium and a large size dog, both are friendly and love to play! My yard is unfenced, but I have access to a dog park just behind my home. I can offer any potty times and feeding times needed! I'm currently working gig work and do not have a steady job. I am home most of the time and can give your furry friend all of the attention they desire! I have 2 dogs that are very friendly and love to play! I live very close to a dog park, as in I can see it from my home! My dogs play in the house constantly, as well as going on regular walks and trips to the dog park!

“Sydney is amazing, our three dogs love her and always look so happy in all the photos we get. Sydney will definitely be our first stop when looking for someone to care for our furry friends. She has kept us up to date with everything and she is such a sweet human!”

“Callie is such a thoughtful and kind human being. She took care of my elderly kitty while I was away for the weekend. Her care set my mind at ease so I could thoroughly enjoy my time away.”

About: Ever since I was a little girl I have had a dog in my life! I have grown up with Labrador retrievers and currently have my own black lab! I value giving a dog the best life you possibly can. Whether that’s spending time outside, taking them on adventures, or anything active! I hope to bring that same excitement and love when caring for your precious pup:) Often times I am around on weekends and would be willing to walk or check in on your four legged baby! Evenings during the work week would work as well. When it comes to caring for dogs, I value giving them my full attention. From the moment I meet them I want to make sure we are getting outside and being active. I find so much joy in making sure their cup is filled whether that’s us hanging out or going on long walks:)

About: Hi there! I’m currently a veterinary assistant with three years of hands-on experience, and caring for animals truly brings me joy. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and have lots of fun while in my care—whether that means going for a hike, playing fetch, or simply relaxing on the couch (if that’s okay with you!). I’m very comfortable administering medications and supporting any extra medical needs your pet may have, thanks to my background in veterinary care. In our home, we have one friendly pup who loves meeting new furry friends. I’m also a nursing student, but my classes are only a few hours a day, so I’m home most of the time and available to give your pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m happy to keep you updated with as many photos and messages as you’d like—it’s important to me that you feel completely at ease while your pets are with me. Let’s work together to create a warm, safe space where your pets can feel right at home! I have class a few times a week, but very much spend a majority of my time at home, there are quite a few weeks I’m also available! When they are at my home whether for daycare or boarding I take my dog on a 1.5-3 mile walk through our quiet town of Courtland. If weather permits I like to go to Flandrau or Fort Ridgley state park if your dog would enjoy that! I also have a backyard that I would be happy to play fetch in with your pets as well!

“Very responsive to messages. Dogs loved her!”

About: For over 38 years, I have had animals from cats, dogs, and pigs. I have a dedicated love and passion for animals; everything from walks to cuddles to playtime and treats. I'll make sure your fur babies feel loved, happy, and healthy. I am reliable and compassionate and excited to take care of your babies while you are away. I work in the cities and have a flexible schedule. I will ensure proper and adequate exercise and attention is given to ensure your babies feel loved and attended to during the day. My priority is to ensure the safety so I will first check for fencing and leashing preferences of the family to ensure we are safe. I’ll also seek to understand all relevant home rules as they relate to pets and preferences.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and livestock animals for 5 years now. I have worked with the University of Minnesota as a vet assistant and make sure animals get the best care needed! I currently have two dogs at home who are very loved. One is 6 and one is 12! I am currently enrolled in school, and would love some “off screen” time from my computer. I’m available on evenings and on some weekends! Just let me know! I will follow you and your pets schedule to make everyone feel as comfortable as needed. With having animal care experience as my background, I can adapt to individual needs

“Gloria, is great and has help me even with a short notice. I can’t say with words how happy we are with her our pups love her.”

About: I have been around animals my entire 33 years of existence. I grew up raising German Shepard's with my dad. I have no problem working on basic commands and potty training. I work full time (occasionally from home), but I am available to run over to let your animals in or out to potty before work and around lunch time. After 6pm & on weekends, I am home all evening/night so I can keep your fur baby comfortable as well. I have a gated area in my front yard for my own friendly fur babies, they can keep yours entertained. :-) We go on frequent walks when the ground is cool.

“I can't say enough good things about Ashley! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals, big and small. My dogs and cats took to to her immediately, which was a huge relief while we were away, knowing they were in the best hands! While I was away, Ashley went above and beyond—sending regular updates, photos, and even little notes about their behaviors, meals, and playtime. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my fur babies were not just being cared for, but truly loved. Ashley also went above and beyond to make sure my home was taken care of, as some unexpected issues came up with the AC unit over the long weekend - she should really add "junior HVAC mechanic" to her profile! ;) When I came home, the house was in order as we left it and my pets were calm, happy, and clearly well looked after. It’s such a relief to know I have someone I can completely trust with my pets and my home. If you're looking for someone dependable, loving, and responsible—look no further. Ashley is a true gem. I’ll definitely be booking with Ashley again!”

About: I have taken care of all types of pets, and even own a few myself. At the moment I have 5 horses, 6 dogs, and 1 cat. I know what you’re thinking, wow she’s crazy, but what can i say? I love animals. I’ve always had such a big place in my heart for taking care of animals and eventually want to get a career working with them. I have pet sit for my family members and a few friends for overnight sitting, or just for a few hours during the day. I would love to take care of your munchkins for you!! I am currently enrolled in full online pseo coarse while working my job so I am available everyday during the most important times! (breakfast, supper, and potty time!). I am always up earlier in the morning to take care of all my my animals. When I take my dogs out to the bathroom they are on a leash, same with going on walks with them. My cat is an outside cat and he will usually go on my walks with me when I take my dogs. I wake up early in the mornings to feed all my animals and take them potty, same thing for night time. Usually i’ll try and let my pets out to the bathroom every 30-40 minutes just to be safe. And my dogs love playing outside while i throw a ball for them. Quality time and snuggling is an everyday must!!

About: I’ve grown up with all different breeds and ages of dogs. I understand that all dogs have different personalities and their own traits that make them unique. I love getting to know their different personalities!! I currently work full time as a nurse but I have many days off during the week and weekends. My schedule varies slightly from week to week. But when I’m off, I’m usually spending time at home! I have my own fur baby who gets along great with other dogs and loves to have company! I allow him free rein of the house if I have to leave for any reason. But I do have a kennel and am able to gate off areas of my house if needed! My family has a farm place about a mile away with a large fenced in area that my dog loves to run in. I also love going for walks and cuddling on the couch and watching movies with my pup.

About: Family bred dogs since I was 3, have experience with many different breeds, empathetic to their needs, firm with commands but generous with the treats Currently work full time from 8 a.m.-4:30p.m. So can work anytime after 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, but can work anytime on weekends during any time. Like to look around the setting and see any possible hiding spots the animal can get into, and figure out animals favorite spots, toys, treats

About: I am home FULL TIME, semi-retired remotely employed, your dogs will NEVER be left alone in my care. I have had 2-3 rescue dogs under my care for the last 20 years. I work remotely, am semi-retired, and in an emergency Fairfax has a local Vet Clinic 4 blocks away. I am always home and your pup will be safely cared for. I have a 5' chain link fenced area with privacy material, less stress on dogs, NEVER left outside. Your pup will go out my kitchen door through attached garage to the fenced area. I can also babygate dogs off separately (carpeted den) so that your pup feels safe. I don't use crates but can accommodate yours. My pups go outside every 2-3 years so pottying is no issue. There is a new Vet in Fairfax, 4 blocks away in an emergency situation. I DO NOT smoke, DO NOT drink, have an extremely well-cared for home and know it is difficult to travel or take day trips especially if you do NOT want to board your pet risking illness or injuries. Boarding facilities can cause kennel cough, terror and dogs feeling abandoned. I occasionally travel and bring my dogs with me on any road trips and know how hard it is to find someone you trust with your pup. I can text or video your pup's stay to ensure you have constant contact with him/her.
