Lauren was wonderful! She accepted the challenge of the diabetic cat that needs insulin shots 2x a day. I have 3 cats that she took wonderful care of. I also received updates and pictures every time she visited. Even though I was on vacation getting updates made me happy. I will definitely be hiring Lauren again when I need a cat sitter.

My cats have special needs, with Ariel's background, I was very comfortable leaving them in her care. She graciously came over for not one, but two meet and greets to go over all of the medications and special diets. This really helped put me at ease. Ariel sent pictures and detailed updates. She even gave them extra attention and hand washed their dishes. I'm in the process of booking her again. Thanks so much, Ariel!

About: I’ve taken care of many different pets for many years. I am a trusted pet sitter around the neighborhood because I am reliable and patient with animals. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time on my days off to take care of your pets! Wednesdays work best for me but I can make other days work as well. Weekends are also flexible! Safety for everyone is my first priority! I would prefer to care for the pet in your home because that is where it is most comfortable and familiar, but I can be flexible!

Melissa is exceptionally caring and had a wonderful approach with our Great Dane, Kota. She left the perfect level of details after each of her visits and was thoughtful about our dogs knee (recovering from surgery) while still giving her plenty of time to play. Our dog was clearly comfortable and happy to see Melissa each visit- which is saying a lot for an anxious pup! Could not recommend Melissa more highly!!

Kathleen was fabulous! My dog loved her. Despite the cold weather she still managed to get my pup out for a walk during her drop in sessions and gave her some nice playtime as well. I would highly recommend Kathleen!!!!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life: Dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, and even a horse! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I raised and trained my two Boston Terriers from 8-weeks-old, and also cared for my late rescue, Leo, who lived to be an incredible 19 years old! I’ve been watching pets for family, friends, and neighbors for about five years now. I’ve looked after the stubborn corgi all the way to the giant mastiff. Whether you have one or five pets, all will be loved, spoiled, and safe. I am currently available for any service all day every day! If you need a boarding service, it must be done at your own home for the safety of both of our pets (my puppies are pretty territorial and the bird does not understand the concept of boundaries). I am prepared to provide your pet with whatever they need. Whether it be walks, medication, or cuddles, they will have my indefinite attention! Your pet’s care routine will be strictly followed to ensure that they feel comfortable, and you are more than welcome to request photos and updates!

About: I am a current pre-veterinary student at St. Olaf College, and plan to pursue a doctorate in veterinary medicine after undergrad. I've taken care of pets of all sorts for friends, family, and neighbors since I was 10, and cared for my own animals for as long as I can remember. I have worked in a humane society and am comfortable working with all sorts of pets, of all shapes, sizes and ages. I have also worked in commercial kennel settings, with dogs with behavioral issues. I have experience cleaning up messes, providing enrichment, and administering medications, as well as caring for newborn and young puppies. I'm a full time college student who loves to spend my free time with all sorts of animals! I can visit during the day or stay overnights; feel free to reach out to hear more about my availability. I'm happy to keep your pets company in the comfort of their own homes, as well as taking them on any outings they usually enjoy!

About: My name is Marill. I love all animals. I have been watching animals since 2006. I absolutely love dogs. Every pet I've ever watched I try to mimic their home behavior so there are no bad habbits learned. If they aren't allowed on the couch at home. I wont let them here. If they are working on commands I will use your verbiage and hopefully return them to you more trained then when they came! If you want them to have the best time ever and be on vaca too, I can absolutely do that as well with beach days and sleeping in, on my bed! I want your pet to feel happy and loved while you're away and I can always provide pictures and video's too if you'd like! I have had a lot of experience with dog behaviors, training and medications and am always willing to learn. I chose to do Rover because I no longer wanted to leave my older dog… then COVID happened and I lost all 4 of my hospitality jobs so I chose to watch dogs full time! Rover is just one more way to get my name out there, but this is all I do all day long and I love it! I own a boarding business that I run out of my home so I’m here all day every day doing what I love. So Rover is just a great way to get in touch with people that need their pet to be in a safe and happy environment while they are away. I have 6 dogs of my own. Ranging from 6 years to 1. All different play styles or all of them love to sleep too! I have everything your dog needs to feel safe, get properly socialized, learn in a group setting and really enjoy coming here every time. I love all the dogs I watch just as if they were my own.

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 and live on a 6 acre farm where the dogs can run and play all day. I’m currently between jobs but anticipate that my next work will be WFH so I can care for the dogs and other farm animals day in and day out. While the yard is not fenced per se, I do have invisible fencing if your dog is used to that system. I have 3 of my own dogs that know the boundaries and stay within them. I have a 3 bedroom house with 2 of the bedrooms unoccupied so there is plenty of space. I have crates of different sizes of your dog prefers to be crated for any length of time. One of my dogs is crated when not home the other 2 are free to roam the house and very well behaved.

About: My husband and I bring a lifetime of dog experience to every pup we care for. We both grew up in dog‑loving homes, and for the past 8 years we’ve been raising our own family dog from puppyhood into adulthood. That hands‑on experience has taught us everything from crate and potty training to maintaining consistent routines, managing energy levels, and providing calm, loving structure. What sets us apart is the balance of experience, patience, and true family-style care. We understand how to work with dogs at every stage — energetic puppies who need guidance and structure, adult dogs who thrive on routine and play, and senior dogs who need slower walks, gentle support, and extra comfort. We’re attentive, safety‑focused, and always tuned in to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your dog will be welcomed into a warm, stable home where they get plenty of exercise, affection, and communication. We treat every pet as if they’re part of our own family, and we make sure you always feel informed and confident while they’re with us. My husband and I both work full time, but we still have great coverage for pet care throughout the week. My husband works from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows for frequent walks, breaks, and plenty of attention during the day. My schedule is 7:00am–3:00pm, so I'm usually home earlier in the afternoon, and my husband works 8:00am–5:00pm. We provide a safe, calm, and welcoming home environment for every pup we host. Our fully fenced backyard is perfect for supervised outdoor play, and our friendly 8‑year‑old golden retriever loves having company and helps new dogs feel comfortable right away. Inside, dogs have plenty of space to relax and be part of our daily routine. We always supervise outdoor time, keep our home secure, and make sure each dog gets the right balance of attention, structure, and comfort. Your pup will be cared for like family and will feel right at home with us.

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—starting on my family’s farm in southwest Minnesota with dogs, horses, sheep, and plenty of barn cats. I’ve worked in animal shelters and vet clinics, caring for all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to reptiles and birds. I’m Low Stress Handling certified and have hands-on experience with walking, grooming, giving medications, and more. At home, I have two sweet senior Springer Spaniels and help care for family pets and farm animals. I love being outside—whether it’s hiking, walking dogs, or just soaking up the fresh air. Most of all, I love making sure animals feel safe, happy, and loved—just like family. I am a free-lance graphic designer and baker, otherwise I have been a stay-at-home mom. Both kids are now in school full time, and I have started a part time job at Dakota Pet Hospital as a Client Care Representative. I cannot walk my own dogs, due to their mobility restrictions and age, so why not walk yours! I would be caring for your pet in your home and around your neighborhood through walks, drop in visits and play times. I want to get to know you and your pet so that we know that we will work well together. I want you to feel safe having me caring for your furry family member and best friend, and I want to feel safe and comfortable with your pet(s). I want to see how you interact with your pet so that I can give them the type of care they are used to receiving!

About: I've been taking care of my own animals since I was 8 years old. I grew up with multiple pets in my house hold. I raised a chinchilla to be 18 and my oldest dog was almost 16. Our family recently moved to the area and I’m just getting back into Rover. I'm currently a teacher so I have plenty of time to check in on your animal(s). I have a flexible schedule in the summer so I will try to work with your schedule. I am able to check in on your animal(s), give them attention, take them for a walk, and feed them/give them potty breaks. If there is bad weather or the animal needs extra attention (for longer periods of time) they can hang out in my home with me. I have three friendly golden dogs!

About: I have grown up with dogs and have cared for all different breeds and sizes. I currently have a three legged pit mix who has taught me a lot about disabled dogs and dealing and training with reactive dogs. I work full time but have Fridays at home. I am also available almost every weekend, so if your ever out of town and need a dog walker please reach out! I will bring water and treats on our walks. Along with poop bags and an extra leash just in case. I will make sure the dog is happy and healthy the entire time.

About: We are a cozy, warm, loving family of four who love animals! I (Jenny) rescued my first dog, Summit-a black lab mix over 17 years ago. He was with us for 14 years and our home feels empty now that he is gone, but we aren’t quite ready to commit to having another pet full-time again. We are really looking forward to playing and giving your dog some love and attention! While Matt works a part time job in the winter, weekends are very open for Jenny and the kids. We are home most weekends and would love to have your furry friend join us! We currently have no pets of our own so your fur baby will have ALL of our attention! We have an unfinished basement where a crate will fit perfectly for your pet. Our yard is not fenced, but we have no problem taking the dogs out for potty breaks and walks with a leash. We love to be outside so your pet will have lots of fun with us!! We are home during the winter months and weekends are very open for us! We are available most Fridays-Sundays for your weekend getaways! Some weekdays may also be available. In our home will will require your pet to be crate trained for evenings or if we need to step away from the home for a bit. While we are home your pet will be welcome to join us throughout our home.
