1. Karley M.

“Karley does great with our year and a half old dog and recently we also got a foster puppy. Karley will come over and walk our older dog and then will even let our puppy out to potty and help clean up if she has an accident in her crate! We really appreciate her care and attention to our furry friends!”


2. Bonnie K.

“Micajah really loves walking with Bonnie. He greets her enthusiastically and doesn't bark when she comes to the door. Bonnie is always on time or early and gives him a great walk!”


3. Kristy O.

“Kristi was very responsive, and it was a Holiday too. I needed my dog walked but was suffering from a strained muscle in my hip. She jumped in last minute. My dog came back with the calm demeanor that I appreciate after he gets some exercise. It was a relief. Very relieved.”

About: My name is Olivia Louis and caring for animals is one of my biggest joys! I have a dog named Lucy that I raised and trained as a puppy when I was 13 or so, and I continue to take care of her now. I have cared for animals off-and-on my whole life and absolutely love to do it. My current job is to help take care of over 200 exotic animals at a zoo, and teach people about them! I have experience with many different animals, ranging from puppies, to kangaroos and baby coatimundis! I am currently studying Biology at the University of Northwestern St. Paul. I strongly believe that God gave us his beautiful creation to enjoy, care for, and be good stewards of. My passion is to glorify him through caring for, and enjoying his creation! I am currently part-time at my job, and am taking online college classes during the week, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your pet! I am available for drop-ins and walking during week days. I have loved being able to walk my dog and explore beautiful trails outside! I would absolutely love to do this with your dogs as well!

About: I have enjoyed taking care of dogs since I was in high school. I have experience working with dogs all ages and sizes. Me and my family would take care and love your dog like they are our own. I work full time but have a flexible schedule where I can accommodate your pet(s). I am available some week days and most weekends, including holidays. Your pet will be well loved and attended for at our home. With a dog of my own, we go on frequent walks and have lots of snuggles. Your pet will feel like one of the family.

“Thank you for taking such good care of Afton while we were away!”


12. Kirsten H.
About: I love dogs. I always have. I grew up around large breed dogs (Saint Bernards, Great Danes, and English Mastiffs) though thankfully not at the same time! I love all dogs; small, medium, or large. We do have a puppy named Champ who has all the puppy energy. It has been quite the adventure since we had to say goodbye to our senior dog recently. We also have a 9 yr old little boy who loves dogs just as much as we do! We live in a pretty spacious house with lots of areas to explore. We have a fenced in back yard. We go for plenty of walks and are just a short drive from two different dog parks. We would love to host your dog while you're away! I work full time, but will be able to provide daily exercise for your pet while in my care. Whether that’s a walk, or fetch in the fenced back yard. I have a fenced yard and a lovable senior dog who is very patient with all the Rover friends he’s made over the years. I will stick to the routine you have set in your own home while you’re away.


13. Giovana M.
“I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my dog! Giovana is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. She truly understands animals and ensures they feel comfortable and loved. My pup always comes back happy and well cared for!”


14. Amanda S.
“Amanda went above and beyond caring for my pup, she was came on time and spent so much time with dog playing and making sure she ate when she was supposed to, which can be difficult at times and Amanda nailed it! She was respectful of my home and cleaned up after the dog perfectly. I plan to hire again again this summer!”


15. Kendra J.

“Thank you for taking good care of Iris.”


16. Elyse C.

“Elyse was wonderful! So attentive and caring for our pup. You can tell she really knows and loves dogs. We will definitely be using her again for walks and sitting!”


17. Rachel P.
About: I've lived with dogs most my life. I took my childhood dog to puppy classes in petsmart and have used that knowledge to help my friends with their dogs. I'm able to read body language and anticipate needs. I love walking and playing outside. Lost dogs have been able to trust me to help them find their way home since I was a kid. Animals love me as much as I love them 💕 I'm available to take care of your pets when needed, and have a flexible schedule that allows me to do so. I love animals and hope to help others take care of their animals. Having a calm and quiet personality has always allowed animals to feel safe and secure around me. I'm able to care for them by showing genuine affection towards them. My current living situation does not all for me to have pets and I'm looking forward to loving and taking care of yours as I would my own.


18. Sarah K.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have 2 dogs of my own and love being around animals of all types. I would love to get a chance to walk and snuggle your doggies! I work part time as a pharmacist and love animals so walking dogs helps me get out and moving while snuggling and playing with your happy dogs! I have 2 seven year old dogs of my own and have grown up around big dogs and little dogs my whole life. I grew up in upstate NY with 20 acres and we had many dogs at all times

About: I have always had a pet in my home and understand that pets are just as important as family . I currently have a 3 year old Newfoundland in my home. I had an Australian Shepherd for 10 years and I grew up with basset hounds. Our Beagle recently passed away after 16 long years of chasing rabbits :) I had experience volunteering for the Humane Society and helped my family take care of a mother basset hound and her 13 puppies up through their adoptions. I'm dedicated and always on time for my obligations and look forward to caring for your friend while you are away. I currently have a full-time job but am not away from my home for more than 8 hours a day. I'm also able to take lunch and I don't work weekends. I have a fenced in back yard and a very friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I am also happy to do drop in care at your home.
