“We were able to book Alyson 3-4 hours before our drop off time and we are so grateful she was able to accommodate our last minute request so we could have a little date night and not worry about our babe being anxious and alone at home for 5 hours. Alyson was friendly and seemed to be really comfortable with having dogs in her home. Percy made himself comfortable almost immediately (lol) and we could tell he had a great time at Alyson’s at pick up time. We cannot wait to use her services again.”


“William is a great dog sitter, very positive person. He made drop off and pick up super quick which was nice sense i needed to go to work. Highly recommend. Great pictures.”


“Was very communicative and nice, sent frequent updates and showed flexibility around pick off and drop off time. Our dog was very happy there and came back in a great mood. Would book again 😊”


“Korina took such good care of Spike for daycare! My pup was excited in the morning and tired in the evening. Korina was extremely easy to work with and as a bonus, takes amazing pictures!”


“Greyson is a gem and takes incredible care of Lulu! His love for dogs is clearly evident and his patience with and affection for Lulu is so appreciated. He’s also communicative and flexible and I’m very grateful to have found him on Rover.”


“Jacquie & Kyle are incredible! They asked all the right questions and did a meet & greet to ensure Dax was a good fit for their care. It is apparent they have experience with dogs & they took great care of Dax, sending pictures with updates. She came home happy and tired after a day of fun with their family. Thank you!”


About: Pets are like family to me. I will make sure that your pet is safe, loved, and has fun while you are away. They may even learn a new trick or two! I love cats and will provide a discounted rate for anyone who needs to board their cat with me! I currently work from home so I can spend all day with your fur baby. Since I do work from home, I can give your pet lots of walks and play time but they must be able to handle being alone when I am in a meeting. I can accept boardings for cats and dogs between 9am and 6pm. Same day bookings are only available for previous clients. I have a dog park within 3 minutes of my home. Your dog will enjoy playing there everyday. I also have a cat that loves other animals! I have lots of entertainment for a cat as well so they won’t be bored!

“Lucas is awesome and so is Bowden! Our dog, Georgia, gets so excited running down the driveway to their backyard to play. Lucas sends photos. Bowden plays well with other dogs. Georgia always comes home happy and tired.”


About: My family has always had pets, and we will be sure to treat your baby with the same love and care we give our own! I currently have 3 small senior dogs with my Husband, all of which we have owned since before we were married. They get along well with other dogs their size so if your baby is social they would love to meet our Jojo, Ryder, and Cocoa. Apart from the 3 dogs I currently owned, I was heavily involved in raising my 2 now passed childhood dogs from puppies to seniors, and have experienced with everything from puppy potty training to senior care, behavior management and more. I work from home most days and will be able to keep a good eye on your pet throughout the day. My Husband also works from home often, so most of the time if I have to personally step out, there will still be an adult in the house. On the off chance no one is home, we shall be sure to crate your baby (as we do with our own) while we are gone for no more than 4-5 hours at most. If your pet must be supervised we will make sure to arrange out plans to accommodate their needs We have baby gates at both stairways to ensure our pets don't wander off into mischief. If your pet has mobility issues, fear not as we will happily carry them up and down the stairs to have their time outside. We have a nice large, fully fenced backyard for your pet to roam and play in (supervised of course). Pets are allowed on furniture in our house and we have multiple dog beds and blankets for your pet to snuggle up in around the house. If I need to leave the house for any reason, I also have installed 2 pet cameras to check on them while I am out. Though I take up to 2 dogs at a time, I only book one household at a time, so your pets will only be interacting my own pets during their stay. I also typically propose a meet up beforehand to make sure our pets and yours get along before their stay

“I am so thankful we found Jessie! Our dog Cooper is not the easiest guy to take care of, he's not really a people person. Needless to say this makes finding a sitter very stressful. After describing him to Jessie she was still willing to take things slow and do a meet and greet and then a 1/2 day of daycare to see how it went. Next we'll try an overnight stay before committing to a multiple night stay when we go on vacation. I appreciate how patient and understanding she is with him and I'm hopeful we have found our new sitter! Thank you Jessie! (Harley and Ninja were great too :) )”


About: When having to choose between writing a 20 page paper vs. volunteering at the local humanity society, the latter was chosen. No regrets since then. I do variety of projects that works with my schedule. I choose what works best for you and me. Don't hesitate to ask for accommodation as needed. The back yard has no fencing around to separate houses around but I will always keep a watchful eye out. If your pet is out so am I. I want your beloved to have fresh air and fun as well as be safe.

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!

“Mariah and Johnathon are so wonderful and they take such great care of any animal in their hands! Porter had so much fun playing with Cerby, who's the gentlest giant of them all!”


“Madilyn and Cameron were really great when looking after our sweet gal Tilly. Super responsive, timely with updates and pics, and generally couldn’t be nicer. Tilly loves hanging out with Mowgli and their neighboring pets too. Whether it’s out adventuring st the park or just chilling on the couch, they have a great time and Tilly comes home a happy camper.”
