About: I have a small hobby farm where I take care of animals off all ages and sizes. I work remotely from home (although I’ve got the ability to travel) so I have time to frequently check on everyone and administer food and meds on a regular basis. Although I only have a partially fenced yard, I have plenty of leader lines and leashes available for potty breaks and exercise. I currently have two dogs and a cat that live in the house with me and are very friendly with other dogs. I have plenty of room for crates if your dog prefers to sleep in a crate, and room for doggy beds if they are particular about where they sleep. I’m also willing to pet sit/farm sit locally if your furry friends would prefer to stay home. I work remotely Monday-Friday. I usually work at home, but I have the ability to work anywhere there is an internet connection if you would prefer an in-home sitter. Working remote gives me the chance to be home all day where I can do potty breaks for my dogs and check on my farm animals. It also allows me to be available if there’s any special requests such as medication and specific feeding times. My cat is a “one cat” kind of guy (we’ll work on that), so for now, I would only feel comfortable hosting dogs ay my house. However, I am available to pet sit in-home for cats or dogs that might feel more comfortable at home. I’m very comfortable giving meds and sticking to a strict feeding schedule if your animal has medical/dietary needs. I’ve seen (almost) everything, so don’t feel like you’re asking too much!
About: Have a family of 3 dogs and 2 cats and my family and I love our messy and hyper fur kids, no matter the situation we do research to avoid getting our fur kids sick and keep them feeling loved and relaxed :) I graduated from college this past summer and am working part time jobs so I have time to take care of friendly pets of any kinds and more than happy to house sit as well for any vacations! We have a fenced yard and we have a crate to put them in when they are doing naughty behaviors like digging through the trash or grabbing things (like food on the table) when they aren’t supposed to. I take them on walks and give them toys to play with as they love tug of war and enrichment toys to keep them busy while we are otherwise we cuddle and watch tv on the couch in my free time.
“Alec and Buddha did a great job taking care of our babies while we were gone. I felt completely comfortable having them at the house alone knowing he was going to be there twice a day to play with them and feed them. I never had to worry that they were in good hands. Alec was reliable and went above and beyond to even report on packages being delivered, etc. I will definitely use him again!”
About: I can care for any type of animal you can think of. Let me know the animal and I will help you out! I have taken care of exotic pets to farm pets. I work a part time job so I have a lot of free time to hang out and take care of the animals I am sitting. Your animal will not be left alone for more then 2 hours at a time. I will care for your animal as close as I can as you do yourself. Your animal will feel at home and loved and cared for.
About: My husband and I are a team of active, educated individuals who love all types of dogs! My husband is a high school math teacher and I am a high school counselor. Working from home during summer has allowed us plenty of time to spend with our dog. We have a 5 year old Yellow Lab who still has the energy of a puppy! We keep up with all routine vet visits and our dog is caught up on all vaccinations including Bordetella (kennel cough). My husband and I live in town but have a large backyard to accommodate play time. We allow our dog on furniture and in our bed a night time..dogs don’t get the long, full life that is humans get, so we like to let him live it as a spoiled pup! We will love your dog like our own!
About: I’ve worked at multiple doggy day cares near Forest Lake MN and I have 2 dogs of my own! I love all animals and treat them like my own! I’m a college student who needs to make more money than what I’m currently making and I’m pretty available Monday through Friday depending on the times! My dogs are walked everyday and played with all the time! I understand the time it takes to care for a dog or cat and so I’m very patient with them.
“Zayda did a great job overcoming our rather protective pup, Wynnie's reaction to a stranger entering our home. Her communication was great and we are very happy to have someone so kind and caring to look after our pups while we are away!”
“Jacob did amazing with our three dogs. He came over a week before to meet us and the dogs to learn there routines and personalities. Him and his wife had such patience with our more nervous dog to make sure he felt comfortable around these new people taking care of him.”
About: Hi there! My name is Samantha and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my rescue Yellow Lab mix, a German Shepherd mix, a Shitzu Poodle, and two cats. I adopted and trained the sweetest rescue boy in 2019. I am also an auntie to many dogs I care for when my friends and family travel. Open for walks and drop in visits in northern Minnesota! My dog lives a very active lifestle along with me! We paddle board, swim, go for runs, long walks, hike, and backpack as much as we can. I am very accustomed to getting him the exercise he needs and have the energy to help make sure your pets get the exercise and care that they need. From pet sitting for my friends and family, to fostering, to taking care of my own pet, I’ve got experience with it all! My dog is a runner. He would chase bunnies and squirrels all day long if he could, and I would if it wasn't for the real danger of traffic and living in the city. Maybe someday we will be lucky enough to own acerage :) For now, I take extreme care of his physical stimulation every day to make sure he is fully active and happy. I have come to understand dogs who run, and I take extreme precaution with dogs who are like mine. I also understand a dog’s needed routine like grooming and feeding, and can administer oral medication for you while you are away. If I ever need to board my dog, we drive an hour for boarding where he can play and run on a farm all day with other dogs, so I understand the value of your dog having access to the outdoors and lots of love.
About: I've taken care of dogs for over twenty years. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and hamsters. After graduating from high school, I managed a dog hotel for three years while going to nursing school. My friends and family have relied on me to feed, care for, play with, walk, and bathe their dogs. I am also a registered nurse with my Master's Degree and work from home. I have a six-year-old, 9lb female chihuahua of my own, and I also foster for Ruff Start Rescue. I work full time from home Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I am available in the afternoons to care for your pets and on weekends. I travel occasionally, but I will adjust my calendar as needed. I live in town and have a fenced-in yard. I can accommodate as needed and according to you and your dog's preferences. I do not crate my dog at home, but she is dog-friendly.
About: I have had a lot of different breeds of dogs, and lots of animals while growing up so i’ve been around them my whole life. I have such a love for animals and have always tried to find new dogs to pet sit and walk ever since I was little! I am currently working part time but I have weekends free as well as every Monday and Wednesday. My schedule is also very flexible so if you need specific days just shoot me a text and i’ll make it happen! I currently have animals of my own that love being around other dogs and so do me and my roomates! We feed our dogs twice a day and bring them to the dog park at least once a day!
About: I have taken care of Cats, Dogs, and Horses from the age of 11-current(32). I'm a the go-to family member/friend for any and all pet/house sitting needs.(This excludes lawnmowing or grand snow removal tasks.) Animals have been a passion of mine as long as I can remember. Their health and happiness is top priority. As I have over 5 years experience managing diabetes for my cat Dasher(who has now passed due to cancer). He had to get his blood tested then injected twice a day with insulin. Feel free to ask about this, as I am more than happy to provide this service. I'm currently available 30+ hours a week. After the month of April 2023 & One week in July 2023. Mondays-Saturdays.(Sundays can be available for medical purposes only, such as diabetes injects.) I can be present at the home starting at 10AM - 4PM, but this time can be flexible, if needed for the welfare of the pet & pet parent. Taking care of an animal is half knowing yourself/your limits and half knowing the animal itself. Whether that be by knowing their body language, psychology, habits, etc. AKA being prepared. However, another large part of taking care of animals is knowing what type of energy you are brining to the table. Animals respond well genuine love/care and that is what I will bring to every encounter with a new furry friend.
“This was our first experience with Alyssa / Rover and we will definitely call on her again to care for our pets. We loved that she sent detailed notes and photos from each visit! Her love for our furry family put us at ease, knowing they were in great hands!”

Joseph G.
“As a dog owner with a very active pup, I was incredibly relieved to find Joseph as my dog sitter. He provided consistent daily walks, engaging playtime, and even sent adorable updates with pictures throughout my trip, ensuring I never worried about my dog's well-being. Joseph clearly loves dogs and treated mine like his own. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

Alyssa J.
“Alyssa has been the best dog mom for little scamp this past year. She gives him a lot of attention, shows him love and lets him play outside whenever he wants. I wouldn’t trust my puppy with many people, but Alyssa would be the first person I call for a dog sitter. Alyssa also does such a good job of keeping her puppy safe and healthy.”

Sam goes out of her way to provide excellent care for all animals she comes in contact with. She’s always available to help out in a pinch and I trust her entirely to take care of my own critters.”
Abigail H.
“Abi is hands down an animal person and I recommend her for caring for any animal. She not only loves them but understands them and knows how to best care for them. Abi has had animals all her life. From horses to baby chicks, rabbits, cats, and dogs. When she was young she would bring home animals that needed care and care for them. More recently she has adopted a chihuahua of her own with medical needs that she addresses with the best medical care around and ensures that if she needs to be gone, her chihuahua is always left in the best of care. Abi has also fostered a dog until it was adopted and made sure that he went to a good home before letting the dog go. I am pleased to recommend Abi as a person to care for your pet. I am also someone who wants to give the best care to my animals and trust Abi with my whole heart in taking care of my geriatric dog. We also have ramps all over our house for our dog to get on and off the couch and up and down steps and Abi now has them in her house to adapt for our dog’s needs. There isn’t anyone i would trust more with our dog.”
Victoria C.
“Victoria is great with animals, she has such a kind and warm heart for animals. I have left my dog with her many times and he was very well taken care of. I’ve had to leave for a few weeks at a time and even though I was gone for so long, I could tell he got so much love. I got plenty of pictures of him at the dog park and the beach. I would highly recommend leaving your animal with her!”
Julia F.
“I have known Julia for over 30 years and she is extremely compassionate, dependable, honest, and a conscientious pet owner. She cares for other people's pets as she would her own. She has owned and cared for horses, dogs and many cats. I have observed the dedication, loyalty, and sensitivity that she has for animals and she genuinely gets the greatest of joy when caring for them. She truly cares about animals and their wellbeing. I trust her to come in my home and care for my animals and I highly recommend her as a pet caregiver.”
