House Sitting in Brainerd

About: I've been a volunteer at Caring Hands Humane Society for 4+ years, and in January of 2022 I raised a litter of 6 Pomsky puppies! I have a 4+ year old orange Siberian Husky, and I've grown up with a couple family dogs, so I've always been around animals and want to pursue an animal related career! I'm currently working a part time job, and I would love to take your dog for a walk, play with them, or simply keep them company while you're away! I'm available 9am - 9pm Mon, Wed, Thu, but am somewhat flexible on weekends for house sitting. I have a fenced backyard and 2 energetic Siberian Huskies that are very friendly and play well with new dogs; I take them to the Newton dog park often and they absolutely love it! I can provide a crate for a medium - large dog if needed/requested. My dog sleeps in my room with an open crate so she can sleep in her crate or just on the floor. I have plenty chew toys, everything from tennis balls to rope toys to an assortment of squeakers!

“Kyelene was so wonderful with all our animals and the responsibilities of our entire household. She was Beth attentive and communicated with me regularly. I hope to have her back at our house for our next adventure. Thank you, Kyelene!!”

About: I have experienced caring for kittens, cats, and senior cats and I really enjoy getting to know each cats personality and what makes him feel the most comfortable. I’ve also cared for dogs ranging from six months to 13 years old and I am comfortable with both energetic puppies and older dogs who need a slower pace. I love spending time with animals and all the ways whether it’s plain cuddling or taking dogs on walks. I am a very active person and genuinely enjoy when dogs can come along with me and be a part of my day. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for and happy while their owners are away. I currently work full-time managing a cycle studio. My 40 hours a week are spread across seven days. I normally am in office for 4 to 5 hours a day and work from home on Fridays and Sundays. I am able to take early morning, after noon, and evening walks. With my work schedule I can spend a good amount of time in the home making sure that all animals feel comfortable. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have cared for dogs with fenced yards and without, so I understand the importance of being alert and safety conscious during walks and outdoor time. I respect each pet’s routine and personality, whether they are energetic and playful or prefer a calm environment and extra cuddles. My goal is to create a trusting, low stress environment where pets feel happy and owners feel confident leaving them in my care.

“Did great with our dogs!!”

“My dogs seem to really love Courtney. They are relaxed and happy when I get home. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi, I’m Michaela, a devoted dog mom to my 5-year-old Cavapoo, Pico, and an experienced pet care professional with 4+ years of dog grooming expertise. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities, whether it’s dog walking, boarding, or in-home care. I treat every furry friend as if they’re my own, ensuring personalized attention and love. Pico and I enjoy outdoor adventures, and I’d love to include your pup for a tail-wagging good time! Trust me to provide care that feels like home. Let’s make your pet’s day extra special! 🐾❤️ During the school year, I work full-time and have limited time at home during the day. Dogs must be able to go 8 hours without potty breaks. However, they do receive ample time in the evenings to play and exercise. Weekends are spent adventuring with pups! During the summer (May-August), I am home most days and have lots of time to care for all pets! Frequent potty breaks or walks are doable. I have a 5 year old Cavapoo named Pico who will keep all dogs company. He enjoys taking friends along with him on walks, runs, and trail adventures. He is treated as a child in our home, and your pet(s) will be as well! Dogs are allowed on all furniture and beds. Crating is available if necessary.

About: I was raised on a farm my whole life taking care of animals! I have a huge heart for any animal and always enjoy getting to know their different personalities! I have experience with diabetic and senior dogs :) I work full time in healthcare but luckily, I have weekends off! I have lots of time to play with and get to know your pup! I have a pretty big fenced in yard along with free rome in the home! I have 2 friendly dogs for your babies to play with while they stay!

“Great sitter!!”

About: For over 10 years, I loved and cared for my own beloved dogs before they passed away a few years ago, and for the past 4 years, I have been occasionally sitting for my neighbor's dog. I have a 6-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son who share my deep love for animals, so your pup will get plenty of gentle affection and enthusiastic playtime from our family! In our home, your fur baby will have a secure, fenced yard to explore. Whether they prefer high-energy fun or just lounging around and getting belly rubs, we adapt to whatever makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I am a Special Education teacher currently on summer break, which means I have a highly flexible schedule and open availability! My own children are in summer camp Monday through Friday during the day, giving me plenty of dedicated, uninterrupted time to focus entirely on your pet's routine, walks, and care. I am available for boarding and daytime companionship, ensuring your fur baby gets plenty of attention and love. As a SPED teacher, I bring patience, structure, and deep reliability into my pet care. I offer a very secure environment with a fully fenced yard for safe playtime. Because my husband works night shifts and sleeps during the day, our home maintains a wonderfully calm, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere during the daytime hours—perfect for dogs who get stressed by loud noises. In the evenings and weekends, my 6 and 7-year-old children join the fun, and they are incredibly gentle and respectful animal lovers. Your pet will receive 100% of our family's care and focus!

“Jon was great with our pets. he sent regular updates and photos. We look forward to working with him again.”

“Stacy was absolutely incredible with our with our pup! We seriously cannot say enough good things about her! We greatly appreciated her taking the time to do a meet and greet with him so he would be comfortable with her before she stayed. We knew right away that she has a true passion and great knowledge of caring for dogs. He instantly took to her calming nature. Our boxer gets a little separation anxiety from us being away and her compassion for making sure he felt loved and comfortable put him right at ease. She truly went above and beyond. As a worried dog mom, her constant updates made me feel so much better knowing he was doing well. I loved getting her frequent photos and videos of him through the day. She stayed at our home over the 4th of July weekend and we had some periods where fireworks were giving him anxiety as well. She was so patient with him and stayed in his room with him so he felt comforted. When we arrived home our house was left just the way we left and our boy was happy as can be! We won’t go to anyone else for watching our boy! If you have the opportunity to book with Stacy you will be so lucky! We are so grateful we found her.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for 5 years, and it honestly never feels like “work” — it feels like hanging out with the cutest little personalities on the planet. I’ve looked after energetic pups, shy rescues, seniors who need a slower pace, and everything in between. I understand pet body language, I adapt to their vibe, and I know how to make them feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them company when they’re missing their humans, I match my energy to what your pet needs. My goal is always the same: keep your pet comfortable, calm, and cared for. Because I’m currently job hunting, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pet. That means more availability for drop-ins, flexible scheduling, and longer, more relaxed walks or hangouts if your pet needs extra attention. Your pet will never feel rushed — they get my full time, full presence, and full patience. Your pet’s safety is my biggest priority. I take a very intentional, calm approach to care so your pet always feels secure and protected. I pay attention to the details — locked gates, secure leashes, clean water, correct feeding times, and any specific instructions you share. Trust matters, and I work to earn it with both you and your pet.

“I have used Angela twice for 1-2 weeks when I was out of the country. She does a wonderful job with both my dogs, one puppy, and one very old dog. When I used to the second time, they seemed extremely glad to see her She even watered my plants! I highly recommend.”

Deborah M.

“This was my first time booking pet sitting through Rover with my dog and Jordyn made it so easy! She was great at communicating exactly when she could get to him, sent me multiple pictures and updates everyday, and I never doubted he was being well taken care of. She stayed at my apartment and left the place exactly as when she got there. My typically very nervous/shy dog warmed up to her very quickly and didn’t even need the anxiety meds he often gets when I’m away. I would absolutely book with her again!”

Growing up in a home that was always welcoming new pets, I became comfortable around all types of personalities and species early on. While I am still building my professional toolkit in the world of formal training, I bring a massive amount of dedication, physical stamina, and a commitment to following your pets specific routines. Whether your dog needs a high-intensity walk to burn off energy or just an attentive companion while you’re away, I’m excited to provide a reliable and active environment for them.

My goal is to treat your home and pet like my own. I'm happy to provide regular photo updates so you can have total peace of mind.

About: I grew up on a farm with pretty much every animal you can think of, including some exotics. I’ve spent many years raising my own animals (cats, dogs,rabbits, snakes, horses, etc) and have also done the same helping out with our friends and family’s pets. I love animals and honestly wish I could bring them all home but I can’t, so this is the next best thing! I can walk your pet on a leash and crate them when needed. I also have 1 friendly dog and 4 friendly kids to keep your fur baby company! If they need a bath I can also do that too! They will be fed, watered and spoiled rotten! I currently work for a job that I can work both in office and remote so my schedule is pretty flexible and can be open to accommodate anyone’s needs. We always maintain water, keep on their feed schedule as well as any grooming schedules they may have. Lots of play time inside and outside.

About: I have had pets since I was a young child. I have always been the volunteer to take care of friends and family’s pets whenever they needed care.

Enrichment toys and activities are in abundance. I work from home and have ample time to care for your fur kiddos. We have a large fenced backyard for play, during the summer months we have water activities for the doggos that like to play, if you allow. We play fetch, we have tug toys for the trees, and other outdoor activities with plenty of space for running! While in my care your fur kiddo will be loved and treated like our own. I will be home to tend to their needs, will follow their care plans, and play with them to ensure their time spent in my care is the best! We have a large fenced yard with reinforced bases so they are safe to play to their hearts content!
