About us

Hi, I’m Sarah! I live in Eden Prairie and I’ve been with Pup Culture since 2018. I have two cattle dog mixes (Juniper & Finnegan), two orange tabby cats (Niles & Curry) and a mouse named Nutmeg. All of my furbabies are rescues and two have physical disabilities, so I have personal experience caring for special pets who need a little extra attention! My family has been fostering and training service dogs for over 20 years, first for Guiding Eyes for the Blind on the east coast, and then for Can Do Canines in Minnesota. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point with a double major in wildlife ecology and biology. I took a course in Canine Psychology and coordinated a club program for students to volunteer to train dogs at the local humane society to help make them more adoptable. I have worked at PetSmart as a Pet Care Specialist, where I learned the best care practices for all pets from fish to birds, geckos to guinea pigs. Following that, I worked at Animal Humane Society as an Adoption Specialist and as a Transport Driver, where I had an opportunity to drive across the country to save animals from overcrowded shelters. I have handled cats and dogs of all different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and abilities. My passion for animals encompasses every aspect of my life, and I became a vegetarian in 2010 to support animal rights. In my free time I enjoy reading, yoga, collecting houseplants, and visiting local breweries. I am so lucky to be able to spend time with your pets and call it a job!

Hi! My name is Tonya! I am a lifelong dog lover. Over the years I have had several dogs and currently have three dogs of my own. I am also involved in rescue and volunteer and foster dogs. I am especially partial to the bully breeds like rottweilers and pit bulls. They hold a special place in my heart and I like to advocate for them to erase their stigma. I work at a local community center and in my spare time like to hang out with friends and check out the local dog friendly breweries. I love working for Pup Culture and meeting all of the different dogs and seeing their personalities. I enjoy providing peace of mind to doggie parents when they are away from home. I look forward to meeting you and your fu

Hi, my name is Holly and I live in Maple Grove with my husband, my daughter, and array of pets! We have three dogs – Lily is my spry old lady that is almost 13 yrs old. Pearl is our Klee Kai and she is 2.5 yrs old. Midnight is our newest addition that is 5 months old. And one cat – Skye is our lovable to us, but cranky to others cat that is 3.5 yrs old. I love all pets and believe our furry friends are family and should be taken care of and loved as if they are our own.

I’m a huge animal lover and have been since I was a kid. In the past, I worked at a pet hotel and volunteered in the cat room at the Animal Humane Society. I realize how much your pet misses you when you are away. Be assured I give out plenty of love, attention and reassurance when I visit at your home.

Hi! My name is Samantha and I have been a dog walker and pet sitter since 2013. When I am not on “pet duty”, I am usually volunteering for an animal shelter or spending time with my husband and our 5 four-legged children, who so graciously allow us to live with them. I am thankful that I am able to do what I love on a daily basis and look forward to meeting you and your furry family member!
