About: I have a patiences and love for animals! I am very comfortable walking, grooming, and loving all types of pets. I have worked with dogs (puppies and seniors), reptiles, fish and cats. I have a lot of availability during the day. I do not work a traditional 9-5 job and have flexibility to focus on your pets. I focus on the safety and joy of your pet! I will follow any requests for your animal and your home. I have one dog and three cats to keep all pets company but all are easily blocked off if any animals are overwhelmed.

About: I have been around dogs all my life and have 2 currently in my home, Bentley ( 9 years old) and Ronon (5 years old). I have a great love for all animals expecially dogs. I am one of those people that will see any dog and ask the owners if I could go up and pet their dog. I really hope you choose me to help you out in any way that I can. I also will love to watch your cat too if you would like. I currently adopted a diabetic cat and completely understand her needs. She receives insulin 2 times daily and receives special food from her veterinarian. I have a kind heart and can not wait to meet your pet. I work variable shifts in healthcare, so my schedule can change — but communication and planning are very important to me. I keep my Rover calendar updated frequently and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. Before confirming any stay, I make sure your pet’s routine, potty breaks, feeding schedule, and any special-needs care can be followed comfortably and consistently. Because I’m used to managing changing schedules, I’m very organized and proactive — especially for senior pets and those needing medications, special diets, or extra check-ins. You’ll always know: ✔ When I’ll be home ✔ How your pet’s day will look ✔ That your pet won’t be left alone for long periods Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, calm, and intentionally pet-friendly, with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and plenty of cozy spaces to relax inside. I supervise pets closely, follow routines carefully, and provide a low-stress environment — especially important for senior and special-needs pets. With 34 years of pet ownership, hands-on experience with medical needs, and a background in healthcare, I’m attentive, nurturing, and detail-oriented. I communicate clearly, send regular updates, and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so you can feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and in capable hands while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I can remember. I’ve always had them in my home growing up and now I have a dog of my own. I also had smaller pets such as hamsters and gerbils as well as fish and hermit crabs. I love going for walks with pets or even spending time with them in your home so they feel comfortable. I work full time for the Rochester Public Schools as a Mental Health Practitioner, so I have summers off. My availability during the school year is weekdays I am available 4pm and after, and weekends I am wide open. Summertime I am available and free to fit you and your pet’s needs. I know how it feels to have something pop up last minute and have to stress on what to do with your pet, so I am more than happy to work with you on such short notice. Currently only accepting requests within the Kasson, Byron, Hayfield, Dodge Center area due to my kid’s daily schedules. I have two sweet boys, along with a cat. I know how different each dog’s personality and needs are, so I am happy to work with their routine and their comfort level. I like to make sure that there is as much normalcy for them as possible.

About: I've always had dogs and cats growing up, and continued to own my own through adulthood. I have watched friends and family members pets. I have owned and cared for dogs of all sizes. I have used positive reinforcement training using a clicker and treats with all of my dogs. I have also completed reactive dog training using a clicker with my dog, Blu. I have experience with medications as my dog, Ruby, takes oral and topical meds. I am looking to care for pets outside of my full time work schedule. I have one day off every two weeks, and have most evenings off. I keep my dogs on a leash when out and walking. I crate my dogs when I leave the house. I am open to whatever methods work for your pets.

“Winston really enjoyed his walks with Zoe!”

“Amazing ? I didn’t realize it was going to be rainy and she still took my dog on a walk (yay!) and even dried her with a towel. The thought that went into it was so sweet and great care!”

About: I have cared for everything from puppies to senior dogs as well as cats, small mammals (guinea pigs, hamsters, etc), and lizards. Each animal has such personality that I am excited to learn. During the school year (September-May) I am available evenings and weekends. During the summer (June-august) I have way more flexibility and can work with your needs. I unfortunately cannot take care of any fury animals in my home due to my family members allergies. However, I will follow whatever guidelines you may have.

About: I’ve been around and taken care of animals all my life especially dogs! I couldn’t imagine my life without them! They truly are a part of the family! I work remotely and am home day and night unless I’m transporting my kids to activities or events. This makes for a very flexible schedule to take care of pets! I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for running and playing. I have 3 dogs to help keep your pet company! I also have dog beds for resting and a foldable crate stored in case it’s needed.

“Hound has been great with our dogs and they seem relaxed and happy when we get home. Manages the needs of our very old husky and young border collie mix very well so they both get the attention and exercise they need.”

About: I’ve grown up having several different pets around me including cats, dogs, horses, fish, crabs, etc. when I was younger I used to help out my grandma with her horses. We would feed, groom and train them. I’m able to understand an animals needs by reading body language. I have experience raising and training a puppy. My grandma has all these rescue cats (4 or 5) and most of them have a disability of some kind, so I’m comfortable with disabled pets as well. I also took a class in Small Animal Care. I’m typically available everyday (Monday - Sunday) and will let you know otherwise if I happen to be busy. For meet and greets I like to meet during the day (usually sometime around noon) I have an unfenced yard. And 4 cats. My cats get fed 3 times a day. And water is always available. They get lots of pets and attention. I’ll make sure your dog gets exercise, fresh air, love and snuggles, follow all your unique requirements and treat them as my own.

About: I do have one cat, she is two years old. I have grown up with dogs, 1-2 dogs always in the house. I have 3 kids ages 2,2, and 5, they have been around animals since they were born. They love animals and do really well with them. I have a busy schedule during the week, but looking to help out on the weekends when I can. My kids enjoy the extra company. My backyard is fenced in. Pets can be allowed on the furniture, but will adjust to the clients instructions. I can crate them as well.

About: We have compassion for senior animals as we have cared for our own beloved pets. We enjoy dogs and cats alike. We love going on walks with our dog and playing fetch. One of us works full-time from home and the other works 50% of the time at home. Our weekends are usually free with events close to home. Our dog travels with us often. Daily walks, play-time, many cuddles on the couch. Scheduled feeding, daily grooming I.e. brushing. Any other needs your pet may have while in our care.

About: I'm familiar with several different sizes and breeds of pets. Some dogs, some cats. I'm used to always having a pet around. I enjoy spending time with pets. I'm currently doing what I can for work on my own. I'm hoping pet care can become another thing I do. Let me know what you need accomplished and when. I will do my best to keep your pets on a similar schedule as they are used to. I will also do my best to keep the pets comfortable.

About: My entire childhood my aunt who lived with us, bred toy poodles. So, caring for puppies to dogs is my specialty. From feeding to walks, snuggles and play, I do it all with love and care. Since having children, we have discussed fostering dogs and we found this would be the best way to love on some dogs and make an income as a stay-at-home mom of two. I am a stay-at-home mom, so we are available mostly all the time other than drop off and Pickup from school, and can move commitments around fairly easily. I have a fenced in yard, and two young children to run around and play with your fur baby, walk with them and help feed them. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of running space along walking paths.

About: I've always loved dogs. I've spent three years working at a dog shelter as office manager, intake person which includes giving oral and injection medications, adoption coordinator, feeding and watering, cleaning, and socializing. I'm available during the week after 5:30pm. Weekends are open. I volunteer at the local dog shelter but need a little something more to fill my need to spend time with animals. I enjoy nature walks and stop as often as the dogs do to look at things. :) My schedule is flexible. When I am with dogs, it is sometimes hard to draw my attention away from them because they are so very loving and giving. I like to give that back to them.

About: I love animals. I have my whole life. I became a certified dog trainer, through Animal Behavior College in November 2018. I am pet CPR and First Aid certified. I work at Mayo as an Administrative Assistant. In college I had an internship at a animal shelter in Chicago where I got a lot of hands on experience with different types and temperaments of dogs and cats. I am a very compassionate, kind, organized, and caring person. I cant wait to work with your dog. Whether it be walking, boarding, and dog sitting. I have not met a dog that I dont get along with. I know how important peoples pets are to them and I will do anything I need to to make sure that you know your fur baby is being taken care of.

“Destinee was responsive and took great care of Nemo and the house while we were out of town! Our dog loves to play with Destinee. We appreciated the updates she gave us during her stay. Would highly recommend her services.”
