“Thank you Nyree, my Inosuke was so happy and comfortable in your home my son said Inosuke cried because he had to go home. You help me reduced my anxiety especially since this was his first day care. I appreciate you so much, highly recommend and will use again.”


“Ellen is so patient & understanding with my fearful dog. I drop my dog off with a wagging tail which says a lot! I am so grateful for her & her availability and communication.”


“Our pup Sansa was in good hands! She was a happy and tired pup when we picked her up. I appreciated the photo updates and the communication. Will book again!”


“Can't say enough about how grateful I am for Amy. My guy clearly enjoys his time with her based on the pictures she sends - I can tell he is happy and feels safe. I would definitely recommend Amy - 5 stars all the way!”


“Megan is a fantastic sitter. My pup Ollie has been staying with her once a week for several months now. She’s always friendly and communicative, and takes steps to adjust to my dogs “special needs” (ie moving a pot that scared him, and picking up his poop before he can get to it 😹). Additionally, when Ollie had a minor coughing fit she reached out to let me know about it, and sent visual evidence that he was perfectly okay. I know Ollie will always be in good hands with her!”


“Patti is great! She is very responsive, gives photos and updates of cute things the dogs do, she has a nice yard, and my pup loves to play with hers. My dog always pulls to get to Patti’s front door and has a blast playing all day long.”


“Brianna is incredibly prompt and flexible in scheduling which we truely appreciate. She sent regular updates and pictures showing how Pablo was adapting to a new daycare experience which was helpful. Her family and pets were relaxed and welcoming. Pablo had a good first day with Brianna and her family and we look forward to further daycare with her again soon.”



“Lydia is extremely responsive and made things very easy for this first-time Rover user and her puppy. Puppy came home happy & tired but not exhausted or stressed out. Lots of updates & photos throughout the day. Great backyard space to run around.”


“June is always super excited to be dropped off to play with Mckenzie and her dogs! Mckenzie has been wonderful with our 5 month old pup and its been so reassuring to leave June with someone who we know loves dogs as much as we do and also has the skills and knowledge on managing different ages and varying dog’s behaviors! She is very communicative and prompt with her replies and she has always been loving and patient with our dog!”


“Karen and Ryan have been the best sitters for my puppy. He’s always so happy to go to their house. They’ve been feeding him and helping with a medical need during the day and are flexible when I’m running late from work. Would recommend them to friends and family!”


“Deanna is so welcoming to both me and my pet! I have been delighted with her care and communication. It makes all the difference in the world to leave my pet with a kind, caring, fun person and home and that's Deanna! My dog, Foxy, runs right up to her and comes back with a smile and signs of a fun day! Thanks, Deanna!!”


“Thank you, Susan. Your love for dogs really shines through. 😊 You were able to make a positive connection with Tia quickly. I appreciate all the love and attention you gave her while I was away.”


About: We just said goodbye to our 12 year old lab. We are not ready to adopt again but need a dog in the house! Your dog will be spoiled by our family (we have two boys-3 and 5), spend lots of time in our fenced yard, play at the dog park, and get lots of snuggles. We are a homeschooling family, so we are around the house most of the time. My boys and I are in and out of the house throughout the day, but because we homeschool, we are home a lot! We spend most of our time outside in our yard or hiking the Minnehaha Dog Park. We have a fenced in yard and home that is used to having a dog. Our boys are loving, gentle, respectful, and playful with dogs. Dogs are welcome to be on our furniture and live comfortably in our house!

“Susie did an amazing job with our pup Quinn! She was very communicative and took great care of our dog. I highly recommend Susie for your pets care!”


“Michelle was super friendly and scheduled a meet and greet to ensure my dogs got along with her sweet Stewie. She was communicative and accommodated my lab’s food allergies taking precautions to keep Mr. Counter Surfer from getting into things. The dogs came home wiped from their fun day and I will definitely be scheduling another play date with Michelle and Stewie in the near future!”


“Is it strange to look forward to taking your dog to a sitter again? Not because of my dog, but because of the wild peace I felt with Katherine watching my anxious little girl? You can feel when a sitter has a deep, authentic love for all dogs, and Katherine has that special heart. In any future event, short or long term, I already look forward to the peace of knowing my Ankläh could NOT be in better hands. Katherine is easily one of the BEST sitters I’ve trusted my baby with, 100 out of 10 recommend!! Well gladly be back 🥹”


About: I've had dogs my whole life and adopted my own two years ago. I'm extremely active and I've been taking dogs for runs, hikes, walks, and jogs since grade school. I'm prepared for any situation we might encounter on the trails, and I'm so excited to take your dog on an adventure! I'm available all week! I work odd jobs, so if a time doesn't work, I'll let you know, but I will love to add you to my schedule. I share a large and cozy studio apartment with a mellow and friendly four-year-old Labradoodle named Rufus. It's located in a large apartment complex that boasts a fenced-in play area and is close to plenty of walking trails.

“Amazing!! That’s all I can say to describe the afternoon. She was super flexible with my last minute sitting needs and super kind and nice and she pup was so kind and kind to my pup that has a lot of anxiety. Highly recommend ☺️”


About: I have had cats and dogs since I was 7 yrs old. I used to try to sneak kittens and puppies home from my grandparent's farm in Illinois hoping my parents wouldn't catch on until we were too far away to turn back! Luckily my mother was also a life-time pet lover, so I always got to keep them. I retired from the University of MN a year and a half ago. I am in charge of my own schedule now with lots of free time I have a fenced-in yard for small to medium dogs. I live very close to lots of parks and walking trails. I have a friendly senior Welsh Pembroke Corgi and a young cat. I give all animals in my care- attention, loving, proper exercise and diet and a safe surrounding.

Audrey R.
“I am delighted to recommend Audrey as your dog care provider! Ok I may be biased, because she is my daughter- but she will be great at this job. She grew up with many dogs at our home in Alaska. Audrey was very close to all our dogs, and very helpful with them: from running our husky to removing porcupine quills from a dog who just never learned,lol. Audrey is very responsible, reliable and a responsive communicator. Your dog will love her and you will appreciate her. Cheers!”
