“Jeff was fantastic with my pets. He made sure to tend to every detail and took my dog on long walks. My cat requires daily medication, and Jeff made sure to take care of her medical needs every day. He made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog and cat in his care. I will definitely reach out to Jeff again for my pet care needs!”


About: I’ve always had such a strong love for animals both dogs, cats and more! I grew up with both cats and dogs in my family and have experience with animals of all ages including puppies & kittens and senior dogs and cats. I have experience in providing medicine, treatment, nail trimmings, and more to both cats and dogs in a gentle and careful way! I am very caring and will always make sure your animal is my #1 priority I currently work from home going in the office once a week so I have lots of flexibility to do drop in during lunch time, before or after work and weekends. Since I work from home I am always available at anytime in case of an emergency as well. I currently have two cats that I care for like they are my children (because they are!) both cats are rescues with very different personalities and comforts. Litter boxes are cleaned daily and deep cleaned weekly. They are fed half wet feed half dry food diet and fed portion sizes, not free fed. We have pet insurance so take them to the vet as we see fit - more than yearly! When I lived with my parents and their dog we would do daily walks/hikes and I also helped train him!

About: I have been caring for the pets of my family and friends for well over 10 years now. I am the first person they call when they need someone to care for their pet. I have cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, I absolutely love all animals And they hold a special place in my heart. I have plenty of time throughout the week to take care of your pets. We can talk about what works for the both of us. I am allowed to care for cats in my apartment only, unfortunately. However, I have ample time to come by your home and care for any animals you may have.

“The boys always enjoy spending time with Chiboney. She us very patient with them and always communicates any concerns to me. Pictures 📸 are always sent. I would highly recommend her for your pets and will definitely use her in the future.”


About: My pet sitting approach combines a lifetime of caring for animals and understanding their needs across their entire lifespan. I bring an intuitive connection with strength, patience, and diverse care experience, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and happy no matter the size or species of the lovable cutie. I am committed to making their time away from you as stress-free and enjoyable as possible! I'm currently looking to do pet care full time and am available for daytime, overnights and on short notice. I am centrally located near Minneapolis. At this time I am not set up to provide for pet care in my home. I am available to care for any pet in their home.

“Terri provided loving care for my dog Remi. Remi got snuggles on the sofa, long walks and looked forward to seeing her everyday. Terri was happy to work the special needs of my household. I highly recommend Terri to car for your fur babies.”


About: My name is Annalise and I have grown up with dogs all my life (My family had over 12 dogs during my whole childhood). My mother is a veterinarian so I am very familiar with various breeds of dogs, different temperaments, medications, etc. Our house has a large fenced in yard for your dog to play around in and explore. I would love to provide a safe, and fun experience for your dog! I am willing to provide a calm experience for the more timid dogs and an active lifestyle for those who need a walk each day! Flexible with individual needs and willing to provide whatever is needed to make sure your dog feels right at home. If you have any questions feel free to reach out, otherwise I am so excited to get to know you and your special pet! I’m currently a stay at home mom so your pup would have someone at home all the time to keep them company. We do not leave our dog alone for more than 4 hours, and that is a rarity. I can provide flexibility to whatever your dog may need during your stay. We have fostered many dogs with different needs and are able to adapt to whatever will make their stay a happy one :)

“Our sweet girl loved having Logan come and walk her every day while we were out of town. Even though my older kids were home, it gave me peace of mind having Logan check in on our sweet girl. The extra attention was greatly appreciated. The updates were helpful. I highly recommend hiring Logan.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for so long. I don’t have one of my own right now but I’m very much able to take care of your pet and whatever it may need I currently work as a bus driver so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! Whenever you need me, I’m there! I cannot have any dogs in my home right now so I would need to stay in your home while I’m watching your animals. My dad is allergic to dogs so I’ll need to stay elsewhere

About: Calm, 24/7 boarding for dogs and cats in a quiet home — perfect for senior pets, anxious animals, or those needing extra comfort. I work from home 24/7, so your pet always has care and attention around the clock. I’m Justin, a reliable and compassionate sitter in North Minneapolis. I offer in-home boarding and doggy daycare with a personal touch. With over three years as a PCA and full-time caregiver for my mother, I understand routines, special needs, and the importance of keeping pets on a steady, familiar schedule. Dogs enjoy the main floor of our peaceful, spacious, pet-friendly home. My mother does occasionally smoke on the main floor, but if you prefer a smoke-free environment, I can board your dog upstairs — the upstairs is mainly used for dogs and is always cigarette-free. Cats are occasionally boarded upstairs instead, but never at the same time as dogs. Cat bookings are rare, and pets are always kept completely separate when needed. Whether your pet needs structure, snuggles, or a calm place to relax, they’ll feel safe and loved. I offer some of the best rates in the area for multiple-dog bookings and longer stays. Optional: I also offer dog baths/showers for $20 per dog. Owners should bring their own shampoo so your pet is washed with a product they’re already used to. I also provide at least two to three walks per day, and any time pets go outside — even for a quick potty break — I’m with them to ensure their safety. Pet care fits into my daily life easily because I’m home full-time with a flexible 24/7 schedule. I’m available every day for walks, visits, or extended stays. Pets in my care are treated like family. It’s just me and my mother in the home, and we live in a big, quiet house in a peaceful neighborhood near Theodore Parkway and the golf course. The environment is calm, low-stress, and perfect for helping pets feel safe, secure, and loved. I’m home 24/7 since I work from home, so your pet will always have care, attention, and a calm presence around. I’ve also worked as a PCA for three years, which adds to my experience with responsibility and care.

“Heather was great! She was prompt in all her appointments. Our puppy just loved her and everything went smoothly. She was very communicative and she sent pictures of their walk. I highly recommend Heather. We will certainly be working with her again!”


About: Hi! I’m Steph — a full-time pet caregiver through Rover and the heart behind a growing pet photography business. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13 and have experience with all kinds of animals, from high-energy pups to quiet companions. I share my life with my dog Scooby, who’s a big lovebug and gets along great with both people and other animals, and two leopard geckos, Helios and Haku, who each have their own little quirks and charm. Over the years, I’ve worked closely with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also have hands-on experience with pet nutrition and wellness—I've worked with a variety of healthy foods, natural supplements, and holistic care routines. I’m great at picking up on subtle signs when something’s off and take pet health seriously. Whether we’re playing fetch, going for a walk, or just snuggling on the couch, I’m all about creating a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared for. I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I always follow your instructions to a T—because your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s happiness. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, understood, and completely at ease while you’re away. I am very flexible with my schedule so please feel free to send me a request or a direct message to sent up an appointment! I have worked with certified fear free trainers as well as being a groomer for 3 years now I am very aware of animal body language and how to meet their needs so they feel safe in their environment. I do have a dachshund mix named Scooby that is incredibly friendly with Small to XL dogs. She’s always up for having a play date!
