“Christy always does a fantastic job. Her communication is always great and our cat loves her. Her attention to details for our car is fantastic. Thank you for everything, Christy!”
“AMAZING care for our dog! Annalise sent several photos and videos, even though she only did a drop in visit for an hour. They played outside, they walked around the lake, and watched a little TV together to wind down. Earl (our pup) was happy not anxious at all when we got home. He had a GREAT day with Annalise. I'm so pleased I found someone dependable and so good with dogs that is close to our home. I will definitely be booking with her again, if she will have us!”
About: A former teacher and current husky owner providing loving, reliable care. Detail-oriented, active, and passionate about treating your pet like family—with structure, exercise, and affection. Pet care fits around my full-time job—I’m available after work on weekdays and fully open on weekends to give your pet the care they deserve. I take my husky on daily walks and make sure she gets plenty of outdoor time—whether we’re playing games, exploring, or just chillin in the fresh air. I’d love to provide the same service for you too.
“Kristen was great as we requested her assistance last minute. She was very communicative and loving towards our 2 cats. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking and will definitely use her again.”
“Anders is fantastic!! I have a disabled, senior dog with a degenerative disease and I was really worried about finding someone with the right experience to check up on him during the day while I’m at work, and Anders has been perfect. He’s very professional, understanding, and clearly compassionate about pets. My dog has a lot of special needs since he’s unable to support himself with his hind legs now, including diapers and needing to be cleaned up between changing to avoid UTIs, and Anders has been great about meeting those needs. It’s a huge relief to me knowing my dog is well looked after while I’m away. There was a tornado warning in the city today and I was really worried about my pets, but luckily it aligned with Anders’ check in and he made sure to message me about moving my dog to the basement for me. Otherwise, I would’ve been freaking out with worry all day. Thanks so much for your help, Anders!”
About: I’ve had animals all my life, currently have 2 yr old lab mix that keeps me on my toes! We both enjoy being outside or at the park! Currently working from home full time, plenty of extra time and energy for more animals in life. My hours are from 7-5 Monday through Friday. Yard and smaller house in north Minneapolis, available for short term in home boarding. Walking and in home drop in’s would need to outside these hours!
“Sue is a very kind and compassionate person. She took care of my senior dog Joey. I could tell Joey was very comfortable with her by seeing all the pictures of him and the many detailed texts that I received from Sue. Would use Sue again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I can remember. I have experience with all kinds of dogs- from old and deaf to young and full of energy. I’m currently work part time on weekdays. Also I am available for late nights as I am a night owl at heart- just let me know in the booking. I have a mostly fenced in yard with no dogs currently. We have plenty of grass and I live nearby multiple parks if that’s something your dog likes.
“Jordan provided drop in care for our two cats and did a great job! He was a great communicator and sent us fun pictures of the cats each day. He made sure to spend time with them and give them attention while we were gone. Very appreciative of his services!”
“Katy was fantastic. Prompt, very communicative, followed our instructions and actually did more than was asked. The regular photos and comments on how our dog and cat were handling our absence was great, and she was able to get our dog comfortable very quickly! Would recommend to friends, A+! Thank you so much, Katy!”
“Our pup Tango enjoyed his visits from Melody, complete with tug and belly rubs! Melody was attentive to his needs, taking care to complete all requested activities (lunch, potty, hang out) while she was there.”
About: Ever since I was a kid, I've loved animals more than people. I grew up with a few family dogs, some cats, and a fish or two. I loved pet sitting so much I decided to join Rover! I enjoy the "getting to know you" process with pets, especially finding *that spot* for scratches. I have a healthy amount of experience administering medication to dogs, with anxious/reactive dogs, puppies, and more. I do a lot of research on training and enrichment activities for my own dog! I have plenty of evening and weekend availabilty in order to hang out with your fur babies. I can manage some early morning visits, if needed! I can take walks with your pup, play with your cat, and overall match the vibe of your fur baby to give them the best experience possible. I have plenty of doggy & kitty enrichment activities I've done with my own pets & others.
About: My career goal is a physician assistant (PA) and my love for providing quality care isn’t limited to humans. I have experience with cats and dogs of varying breed, ages, and temperament. I am excited to have the opportunity to care for your loved ones and promise to provide dependable service :) I am a recent graduate looking for a fun job before PA school. My week is wide open and I’m willing to accommodate your busy schedule I’m here for whatever your babies may need! Whether that’s playing, going for walks, pet sessions, or just keeping eachother company. I’m flexible with the type of care your pet may require.
“Sandy has such sweet gentle energy. My pup loved her right away. She is always right on time and is a great communicator. Extra bonus for me that she has been available on short notice. Would definitely recommend and will be using her often I’m sure.”
About: Hi there! I'm Mariah, and I would love to give your pup a fun, comfy place to spend their days while you're away. I currently offer doggy day care, drop in visits, and boarding. I look forward to offering house sitting and dog walking (when the weather is warmer). I understand every dog is different, and I'd love to talk to you about yours so I can give them a day tailored to their needs. I prefer a brief Meet & Greet, so we can determine what kind of accommodations your pup might need to stay with me and my family. If they aren't comfortable with my pup, we have the ability to separate the house in two, and I only take on 1 client in house per day so your pup will have all the affection and attention they could want! I work from home full time M-F with my husband and our 2yo Bernese Mountain Dog. My work is flexible, with minimal required meetings/focus time so I'm able to let the pups out any time they signal they need to go, or on a schedule if needs be. I have a fully fenced yard with two trees, a small hill for those private poopers, and loads of room for zoomies. With a security camera covering the whole backyard, I can comfortably keep watch over my pup and guests no matter what the weather and send screenshots or videos of their antics when they think they're not being watched. Inside, I can set up a spacious dog pen, wall off portions of the house with dog gates, or offer a crate should any pups require space for a nap, or time out. Additionally, I will clear all treats and toys with you, because I want to spoil your pup in a safe, healthy, owner approved manner!

Jade H.
“I had Jade watch my cat for a week while I was camping. I told her she needed to come only once a day and feed my cat and make sure she had water. Jade went above and beyond! She came twice a day and stayed with my cat for about an hour each time socializing with her and playing. She scooped out her litter box and made sure she always had food and water. Our cat warmed up to her right away, too! Jade also sent us pictures and updates while we were gone which I appreciated. I never had to stress about how my cat was doing with Jade watching her. Best pet sitter ever!!”

Ella H.
“Ella is truly one of the most personable and loving people I know, and this no doubt translates to her care of animals. She has such a calm, gentle presence that even my skittish cat (who usually hides from everyone) warmed up to her almost immediately. Ella genuinely loves animals and gives them her full attention and care. I’d trust her with any pet, knowing they’d be safe, loved, and well cared for in her hands. You and your furry friend will be lucky to have her!”
