Dog Sitting Dellwood

About: I am a big time animal lover that has taken care of dogs, cats and rabbits for over 8 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their animals. I’m currently working 4 10 hour days with Thursdays and weekends off. I would be able to hang out with or stop in with your pets in the morning and evening Monday-Wed and Friday or anytime Thursday or Saturday-Sunday I can stop by or stay over and do whatever is needed to take care of the pets in my clients’ home including crating, feeding, letting outside and more!

“Lacie took great care of my old kitty with heart disease who needs medication twice daily. I was nervous to leave her for the first time with someone I didn't know, but Lacie put my mind at ease right away. She responded quickly and was very communicative throughout the process, and sent lots of updates with photos and videos which I really appreciated. I would definitely book with Lacie again!”

About: The two loves of my life were my dog, Abby, and my dog Bronx. Abby was a Siberian husky and Bronx a 15” lemon beagle. Bronx was part of my life for 20 years and just recently passed. I honestly can’t imagine a life without animals in it, and one day I wanna be able to reflect back on my life, knowing that I did as much as I could to help as many animals as possible, which is why becoming a part of ROVER is so appealing. I have an incredibly flexible work schedule that will enable me to schedule my work hours around my hours caring for animals. I truly believe that animals are every bit as important as we are, and I think pet owners will be able to rest easy, leaving their pets in my care, knowing that their health and safety will be of the utmost importance to me! I have a two-story condo that they would be able to spend most of their time in with me. I also have a heated garage that I’ve converted into a safe and comfortable area for animals to play in. In addition to that, I live in Woodbury, literally surrounded by parks, full of walking paths that will be ideal for a dogs exercise. One thing I would like pet owners to know is that I’m not doing this for the money, I’m doing this because I’m newly single and alone and can’t think of anybody better to spend my time with than animals in need. I wouldn’t just be some dog watcher, I would be their friend that plays with them and loves being with them.

About: I have my own German Shepherd I have had since she was 6 months. As well as having been around dogs a good portion of my life, I do my best to be what she needs I work very part-time at a dominoes, usually only 4-8 hours a week, i do have appointments on Tuesdays, lasting only about 2 hours so I am always home and have plenty of time for your beloved doggos I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have a firmly secured tie-out and extra leashes for outside potty breaks and/or walks, as well as a 5 year old German Shepherd (she is spade) Who is very happy and animal friendly

“Michelle was a great first sitter to have as an introduction to Rover! She was communicative and shared lots of pictures, and kept our sweet boy from getting lonely and sad!”

About: Loving animals is at the heart of why pet sitting is such a fulfilling experience. Dogs, in particular, have an incredible capacity for unconditional love and loyalty. When you open your heart to care for them, you're not just providing a service; you're forming a bond built on trust and affection. Every wagging tail, wet nose nudge, and happy bark is a reminder of the pure joy that animals bring into our lives. I would love to take care of your Pet. PET sitting allows you to immerse yourself in this love, creating unforgettable moments and strengthening your appreciation for the wonderful connection we share with our furry friends. I’ve had Many Experiences with animals. As far as Young to growing up. I am working part time so I have plenty time for extra activities! I am free as a bird to enjoy time spending with your dog However I don’t have a fence yard.. but I will keep them on Leash all times! We could go on walks or just about anything! I am always able to run out for potty breaks!

“Taylor is great! She was super flexible in accepting our last minute request and our pup loved her walks!”

About: I have spent my whole life with dogs, caring for our family dogs over the years and dog sitting for friends. I enjoy going on long walks and would love to have a buddy join me, big or small. I’m a graduate student and tend to be available either before 9am or after 5pm. I spend a good amount of time working from my apartment but sometimes have to unexpectedly run into the lab. I’m typically more free during the days on the weekend. I live in an apartment, and will not be able to host dogs here. the apartment is dog friendly so there is a chance i could bring a dog over temporarily, but not overnight. (though I wish i could!)

“Madeline was great! I had a last minute need for a drop in visit and Madeline was very quick at responding and accommodating. My cat does not like other people but he came out of hiding when Madeline visited which speaks volumes!”

“Dakota appears to have checked all boxes requested! Cats are older and pretty inactive, but i see no problems at all. Communication was steady and reliable. Thanks Dakota! Planning on using her in the very near future if she is available.”

“My boy and girl kitties love Mexi! My girl is a bit shy but came right up to her. Loved the pictures she took too I could tell they were in good hands . They were not too mad at me when I came back, which means they did not feel abandoned.”

About: ✨️🐶 Please continue to read my profile (including availability and pricing sections) before requesting a meet & greet I have always loved and cared about the welfare of animals ever since I can remember, and even had several different pets of my own growing up that I cared for, including a couple of dogs (one of which lived to be 17 years old!). I have past experience with volunteering at organisations such as the SPCA (providing care for cats, dogs, and rabbits) and caring for cats at AniMall Cat Clinic. I have helped several close ones and neighbours thoroughout the years with pet care needs for their dogs and cats, which included: feeding, walking, providing transportation to veterinary appointments, and spending quality time with the pets, just giving them affection or playing games such as fetch/tug of war. I have experience with caring for breeds that are reactive to other dogs (but still love the company of humans), and with breeds that are often subject to housing or insurance restrictions, some of which have included: Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Huskies, Dobermans, Staffordshire Terriers, and American Bullies. I focus on understanding each dog's individual temperament, communication style, and needs. I am also experienced in administering medication to both dogs and cats in oral, injectable, and topical forms. 🐾 I require a meet and greet with all new/first time clients before officially booking a house sitting. Please know that a stay is considered confirmed only after the meet and greet is completed, the booking has been mutually agreed upon, and has been officially booked through Rover. For longer stays (especially longer than 1 week), I would recommend you to reach out once you've reviewed my profile and pricing details, and you have fully decided that in-home care through Rover is the option you'd like to pursue. 🐾 Please also note that I do work a hybrid schedule M-F full time, excluding major holidays. For house sits that fall on weekdays, on the days that I am required to go into office (which I communicate with pet parents), my standard is to provide care in mornings before work, evenings after work, and of course, stay overnight in the home. I am not able to provide midday breaks due to my schedule and nature of my work. For walks and drop ins in particular, I would be a great choice for pet parents that need care in evenings, nights, and weekends. I will listen to/observe your pet's body language and demeanour before approaching, and will always interact with them gently and kindly. On walks and out in the yard, I always use a leash or harness to keep the pet safe. Furthermore, I always strive to keep an eye out for any potential hazards to pets while they are in my care, whether that is something that spilled on the floor, or an unfamiliar object in the yard, and will always act swiftly to remove the hazard so your pet will be out of harm's way. I believe good pet care includes planning for the unexpected, so I like to establish emergency contacts, veterinary/animal hospital information, and contingency plans with every client before a stay (and preferably have these included in written directions too).

“Thanks Juliane! It was really a comfort to know our kitty crew was were well cared for while we were gone.”

About: I have fostered many animals for animal shelters including dogs of all sizes, cats, kittens, puppies, and a guinea pig. I have not only had dogs as pets but cats, rabbits, goldfish, and chickens as well. I have experience giving medications to both dogs and cats and have worked with special needs and senior animals. I am a St. Thomas college student home from college all summer. I have a very flexible schedule and can do any day and any time. In your home I will ensure your pets' safety and well being by following your instructions and making sure all doors, gates and fences are secure.

About: I have had dogs and cats always! I would love to care for yours too! I have experience with puppies to seniors to care for as family! I also have given medication and shots to my fur babies I am flexible with my schedule and can cater to your pets needs while your away to make them as confortable as possible. Would love to pamper your fur babies! I would love to come to your house where they are most at home and comfortable I will give them love and attention while your away!

About: Currently, I don’t have pets. But I watch my grand pup, Seina on a regular basis. She is a 3 yr old Parson Russel Terrier. I work in the mornings from 7am - 12pm. I’m usually home the remainder of the day. When I’m not home I have doggie cameras set up so I can check in on your dog. I live in a townhome. So I will take your dog for plenty of walks. They will receive lots of cuddles, love and special attention.

About: I am an energetic person and love to work with animals outside. I do enjoy walks with them, and I got to work on a dude ranch a few years ago! Animals were always around! I love to engage with pets and keep them engaged till they are ready to relax. I am a full-time archaeologist, but I have time when I'm not traveling for work in the afternoons. I am looking to take on some extra work and get to care for some pets! I can't have a cat or dog due to my travel, but I love to be around them. I love to play with cats and dogs whenever I care for them. I give them the time they need to get used to me, and play more when they want to be near me or give them as many pets as they request. I am huge on getting dogs outside and getting their energy out.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 3 years old, and they’ve always been my favorite companions and best friends. I currently have two dogs back at home in Boston with my parents that I miss dearly, they’re seriously like my kids - It hurts my heart so be so far from them. I love caring for other people’s dogs as if they were my own, I know how precious and how big of a place they hold in your heart. They are family. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all kinds - big and small, high-energy and laid-back, and very anxious pups who need extra patience and comfort. I’ve also cared for senior dogs and dogs with health issues, making me attentive to their special routines and gentle needs. I treat every dog like family, which means love, attention, and safety always come first. I know how important it is to feel at peace while you’re away, so I provide consistent care, follow your guidelines, and keep you updated with pictures and messages. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pup, so you always know they’re in good hands and so that they feel that they are while also having fun at the same time. Not only that, but every dog is unique, and I truly take the time to adapt to their personality. Every dog I’ve ever sat for I end up feeling like they are one of my one. Building unique and fun bonds with each dog is so so special to me. Whether it’s long walks, lots of play, or simply quiet companionship - learning what their favorite things, games, times and the ways they love to be loved are my favorite! Plus, as a photographer, I love capturing dogs and their personalities in fun photos, so the updates you get are more than just check-ins…they’re happy little snapshots of your pup’s day. And if you’re okay with it, I would most definitely love to take a few photos of your dog/s with my camera for you to have - only if you’d like and with your permission of course! (: I work a really flexible part time job and do my own freelance photography business outside of that on my own time - so I am very available most of the time because I am super flexible and make a lot of my own hours. Which makes it a nice if your dog has a specific routine (: Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening cuddles, I’ll make sure your pup gets cared for at the times that work best for you and them. I treat every dog like they’re my own, which means love, attention, and safety always come first. I know how important it is to feel at peace while you’re away, so I provide consistent care, follow your guidelines, and keep you updated with pictures and messages. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pup, so you always know they’re in good hands and having a good loving and fun time (: !

“Noelle is great! She is wonderful with our dog and understands how to deal with her anxiety with strangers.”

About: With over 8 years of experience in animal care, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, rats, and even lizards! I’m confident handling pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions who need a bit of extra TLC. I also have experience administering medications like pills, topical creams, and pet inhalers. I’m always happy to learn your pet’s unique routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m a student at the University of Minnesota and love spending my free time caring for animals. While my weekday schedule is limited due to classes and work, I’m fully available on Fridays and weekends and would be happy to dedicate that time to pet care. I look forward to meeting new pets and giving them the attention they deserve! Since I care for pets in their own homes, I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I stick to their usual routine—whether that means walks, meals, playtime, or meds—whatever they need to feel at ease. I know how important it is to have someone you trust in your home, so I’m always respectful of your space and do my best to leave things just as I found them (or better!). I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured while you're away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and try to make the time you're gone as stress-free as possible for both of you.
