House Sitting in University District, Minneapolis

“Thor did an excellent job caring for Blue. This is the first time Blue has been left without one of us and we had concerns about leaving him for seven days. Thor followed our instructions to the smallest detail. He connected with Blue in a positive, caring and loving way. He kept us informed on a daily basis. Our holiday was enjoyable and relaxing greatly in part because we knew Blue was in good hands. We highly recommend Thor.”

“Gretchen is very conscientious and the boys were so well taken care of. Both of mine are very stressed when I’m gone and she made sure to let me know if their tummies were off, so we could trouble shoot. Thanks Gretchen! Definitely recommend!”

“Jenna was AMAZING!! I felt so comfortable leaving my little Jasper with her in my my house for 10 days. Made my vacation worry free!! My dog was so comfortable with her and enjoyed all the cuddles. She sent me pics every day. Since Jasper is getting older, she was very observant of him and let me know anything she thought could be a concern with him. Will 100% use her again and referred to my sister already!!!”

“It is always such a comfort to know that Sarah is watching our pups. She is responsive and sends frequent updates. Thank you for another positive Rover experience, Sarah!”

“Gabby was wonderful and so responsible! She responded quickly to text messages and sent lots of photos of my pup. She communicated updates frequently and asked several considerate questions about how to best take care of my dog. My apartment was in the same condition (in fact, it was slightly cleaner!) as when I left it. I would definitely hire Gabby again in the future.”

“Rachel was a guest at our house for a few days and was very respectful and wonderful with our dogs, one of which is skiddish around new people. We'd recommend her to anyone!”

“Khadejia was a perfect match for our two pups! We have two middle-aged rescue dogs that are quite different in personality. She did great! Here's why: 1) The meet & greet was thorough. She came with good questions and knew to just sit in the room and let the pups come to her. She has obvious love and affection for dogs and has a fun & calm demeaner. She made a great first impression on our dogs. I could tell that she wasn't bothered if they were too "in your face" or standoffish. She let the dogs set the pace. 2) Khadejia was great at communication: replying to messages very quickly as we had several changes in our calendar to set up the home-stay when we went from Minneapolis to San Francisco. I was really impressed with her flexibility and quick replies. 3) The home stay (4 nights/ 5 days) in our home with the two dogs was great! She sent updates throughout her time, including pictures. She left the house very clean & we knew the dogs had a great time. 4) Her tasks included: letting the dogs out in our fenced yard, keeping them fed/water, bedtime routines, playing games with them and lots of cuddles. She also kept the house picked up, brought the mail in, etc. We highly recommend Khadejia and will definitely hire her again. Thank you!”

“Abby watched our 2 dogs in our home while we were out of the country for vacation. She did a fantastic job, the pups were totally relaxed when we got home and the house was spotless! Abby provided daily updates with pictures which allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worry. Highly recommend!!”

“Thank you, Betsy, for taking excellent care of Tina and the house. The pictures you sent during your stay were fun and we could tell that Tina was comfortable with you. I hope you can come again.”

“Sally is amazing! She recently dog sat for our family pet, Lucy, at our home for a week while we were on vacation. Lucy was on a couple of different medications during this time and Sally was very attentive and caring to ensure Lucy took her meds, was happy and felt comfortable. We were very fortunate to have Sally and will certainly call on her again!”

“Kat is not only a joy to our animals she is a pleasure to work with! She proactively takes them on walks and plays with them in the backyard. She often sends us pictures of their time together. Both of our animals go crazy when they see her as they know they were going to have a great time and be well taken care of in our absence. Kat has also helped me with deliveries made to our house in our absence as well as accommodating unique nuances with the house and our family I cannot recommend Kat enough!”

“Jessica was a great dog sitter! My dog has anxiety so I have anxiety about leaving her, but Jessica sent me lots of updates and pictures. My pup clearly enjoyed having her there.”

“Ryan was fabulous with our two dogs - he watched our 7 mo puppy and 5 year old anxious pup for a week at our house. They didn’t seem to mind in the least that we were gone. He was also very responsive to my messages and sent us a couple of pictures throughout the week. Dare I say our place looked better than we left it? We will absolutely hire him again next time we leave town!”

“Margaret is incredible. So kind and caring when it comes to people but elevated even more so when it comes to pups. The connection she is instantly able to make, I've never felt more comfortable and at ease when leaving my pupper behind and in her care. Knowing they are in great hands, getting lots of love and attention. The active communication and photos that she shares throughout are certainly appreciated and rare to find in folks going above and behind to not only put the human at ease, but more importantly, the pup :) Can't recommend high enough.”

“We are so happy with the care Claire provided our cat. She stayed in our home for a week with our cat and kept us updated daily with pictures. We could see how content she was with Claire. It is so hard to leave your fur babies when traveling and Claire was a blessing. Not only was our cat happy, our home was also cared for. Claire kept it tidy and clean. We highly recommend Claire. We will definitely call on her for future pet sitting!”

“Grace was so easy to work with, and took great care of Ginger. I was so impressed when she arrived for the initial meet and greet prepared to jot down some notes. Her stay with Ginger seemed to go well, and she even left me a summary of her stay when I came home. I will absolutely seek her out next time I need a sitter.”

“Sarah stayed at our home with our senior dog for an extended weekend and she did an amazing job with our old guy. She sent picture updates and we were confident that he was being well taken care of and enjoying his time with her. Sarah followed our instructions perfectly and left our place exactly how she found it. She is welcome back any time! Thank you Sarah!!”

“Derek was amazing! He clearly loves pets and cares about taking care of them for you. Great communication throughout the whole reservation, lots of reassurance to me, the nervous Pet Mom, and even pictures to boot! Hope I get to use Derek again!”

“Kiley did an amazing job with my dog! She sent daily photos/videos, which made me feel great knowing he was doing well and receiving so much love and attention!”

“Leah was awesome - took wonderful care of our kitty and our home while we were away for five days over Christmas. Kept in touch by sending us updates and photos so we knew everything was fine. Kitty had just had dental surgery, was on a special diet and can be anxious and lonely without her humans around. She's also shy around people she doesn't know. But she really took to Leah and they got along great. I'm definitely going to have Leah back the next time we are out of town and would highly recommend her for cat sitting.”
