“We are so pleased with the care Allison took of our dogs! She provided regular communication and photos. She also went above and beyond with taking care of our home without being asked. That level of care and service is unmatched and we are so grateful to have found her!!”

She provided updates and pictures during the stay and I could tell when I returned home that my dog and house were well taken care of! Would highly recommend using Kendra!”

“I left my dog for the first time ever and I was nervous. Nancy put me at ease sending me videos and reassuring me the dog was fine. Nancy was really good with my dog and allowed me to really enjoy my trip. She is dependable and reliable. I highly recommend her.”

About: I live and work downtown (full-time remote). I can host your pet overnight in my home; stay overnight in your home if needed. Pop-in visits to provide breaks, walks, feeding. I can also provide day care services if needed. I do not have a crate but bringing your own crate is optional but not required. House broken/trained is preferred. I prefer to host 1 dog at a time. 2 dogs from the same household would be possible but prefer not to mix dogs from multiple households. ***House-sitting notice - I do have a 9mos old 11lb Havanese that would accompany me for overnight house-sitting assignments*** I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feeding as needed or on a set schedule that works best for your pet's current routine Condo here and unfortunately do not have a yard but there are lots of green spaces near my condo at 10th and Mulberry. Space is over 1200 sq ft so plenty of room for your pet. I do have a small (Havanese) 8mos old puppy that loves attention but is very smart and picks up on queues from other dogs. Shy and timid upon introduction and will play only if the other dog engages. Loves people and attention.

“Our dog is a little nervous and he seemed to do great with Molly staying with him for the weekend! We got periodic photo updates so we could see how he was doing. We’d definitely have Molly stay with him again!”

About: Loving, Experienced Pet Sitter with 15+ Years of Trusted Care — In Your Home! Hi there! I’m Meg, the Cozy Companion Pet Sitter, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years—what started as helping out friends and family quickly turned into something I truly love. Now, I’m excited to expand my services here on Rover! I work from home full-time, which means I can offer a high level of care and attention throughout the day. Whether your dog(s) or cat(s) needs a companion while you’re away or a consistent routine to feel secure, I’m here to help. I’m available for in-home sitting so your pets can stay in the comfort of their own environment. I welcome pets of all breeds, ages, and medical backgrounds—including seniors and those requiring medication or special care. From energetic pups to laid-back seniors, I’ll tailor my care to match your pet’s personality and needs. Here’s what you can expect when your pet is in my care: • Lots of love, playtime, and snuggles • A structured daily routine with potty breaks, feeding, and exercise • Regular photo and text updates to keep you in the loop • Patience and understanding for nervous or special-needs pets • Last-minute and holiday availability when you need a backup plan I’m also happy to discuss additional requests like transportation to vet or grooming appointments or extended stays for vacations or work travel.

Let’s chat to see if I’m the right fit for you and your fur family. I’d love to meet you and your pets! I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. This allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules and give pets the comfort and companionship they need while you’re away.

I’m happy to care for pets in any type of home—fenced or not, apartment or house—as long as I have clear instructions on your pet’s routine and environment. Whether it’s leash protocols, feeding schedules, or special quirks, I’ll follow your guidelines closely to ensure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.

About: I grew up with animals my whole life. My mom is an animal therapist so we always had at least 2 dogs and 2 cats at all times. 2 years ago me and my girlfriend decided to get a dog and since she works remote in Minneapolis we decided she would stay with my girlfriend most of the time. I just moved here a few weeks ago and I’m looking to replace some of the love I’m missing from my dog by taking care of someone else’s animals! I work 9-5 but I’m able to go back home during a lunch break for a potty and quick walk. Other than that I’m a very active person and would be willing to walk a dog miles and miles if that’s what it likes! I have an Australian cattle dog so she needs minimum 4 miles of walks a day! I live in an apartment, so don’t have the luxury of a fenced in yard but like I said I have no problem getting the exercise needs of an animal in!

“Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.”

“Donna was nice and very easy to work with. She was reliable and on time for both the initial meeting and for the stay so we could leave on time. She did a great job and provided some good updates and pictures of the dogs. Thanks for taking good care of them!”

Mike W.

“Natasha was an amazing dog/house sitter! She left my house spotless and sent the perfect amount of updates. We felt very comfortable with her staying at our house and taking care of our dog!!”

Madison B.

“She did a wonderful job! The pets seemed very well taken care of and it was clear that she took great care of the house as well. She was very communicative and gave regular updates. I'll definitely use her again.”

Ana D.

“Sasha was amazing! She took excellent care of my 3 dogs and my house. My dogs loved her! They didn't seemed stressed at all when I got home after being away 8 nights. A good sign! I will definitely use Sasha again!”
