Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Keewaydin, Minneapolis, MN

“Amy is truly a dog whisperer! My very barky and unsure husky mix warmed up to her within a few minutes and has been great for all the visits. Our other dog, a little beagle, has been a cuddle machine with her. I would recommend Amy with 10 stars if I could. We are definitely having her back!”

“Tanya was friendly, punctual, and reliable. She sent me the cutest photos of my kitty while I was away and communicated with me when there was an issue with my home alarm. I would definitely trust her with my Xochitl again.”

About: I have been a dog walker for a bit now and I love animals! I am able to walk any size dog, and I am capable of walking multiple pups at once. I can accommodate for dogs of all ages too, new puppies or senior dogs. I have also had dogs in my family for my entire life. I’m a recent college graduate, trying to earn some extra money. I am a very positive and energetic person! I love to be outdoors and exercise lots. Rover seems like an awesome app to meet some amazing, lovable pups! I work full time in the Southern Metro area. I am fully available on the weekends! I am completely free on Saturday and Sundays :). I am happy to go for long early walks in the morning or later at night. The pet and their needs should always come first. I love a cuddly dog that can curl up on the couch with me or I can go on a hefty walk around some of the lakes!

“Daniel was great with my dog Pepper. He did a meet and greet with her prior to my trip to ensure they started out as fast friends. Pepper enjoyed her time with Daniel as easily scene in the many photos he provided. I had no concerns with him dropping in on Pepper my home and I appreciated his short-notice availability and flexibility. I hope to use Daniel again very soon.”

About: I bring runner’s energy for dogs and calm patience for cats: think steady, custom-paced walks or jogs with water breaks, paw checks, and weather-smart routes, plus tidy litter care, fresh bowls, and respectful play for the feline crowd. Safety and communication are my non-negotiables—I double-check harnesses, use reflective gear after dark, skip dog parks unless you request it, and send clear photo updates with notes so you always know how the visit went. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m happy to reinforce the simple routines you already use (leash manners, sit/wait at doors, etc.), and I follow your instructions to the letter, including feeding and meds mixed in food as directed. If your pet loves miles, sniffs, or a sunny window perch, I’m your dependable guy. I work Monday–Thursday 7:00–4:30 and Fridays 7:00–11:30, so I stack pet care around that rhythm: sunrise walks/jogs from about 5:30–6:45 a.m., after-work outings from roughly 4:45–8:30 p.m. Mon–Thu, wide-open Fridays after 11:30, and fully open all weekend. I plan weather-smart routes (shade and water in heat, shorter or split sessions in cold), double-check harnesses, use reflective gear after dark, and send clear photo updates every visit. Dogs get steady, custom-paced miles; cats get calm drop-ins with fresh bowls, litter clean ups, and respectful play. I’m big on recurring slots to keep your pet’s routine humming even when your schedule is packed. I keep pet care simple, safe, and centered on your routine. In your home, I follow your instructions to the letter—meals measured the way you do them, fresh water every visit, doors and gates double-checked, and leashed, pace-matched walks or jogs with water breaks, paw checks, and route tweaks for heat or ice. Cats get calm, tidy visits (fresh bowls, clean litter, respectful play) with extra attention to door control for escape artists. I wipe paws, clean up accidents, and leave a brief photo update so you always know how it went. If you’d like dog runs, we’ll keep it owner-approved and weather-smart—no dog parks without your say-so, and I adjust pace/distance to your pup, not my watch. Hosting at my place is case-by-case after a meet-and-greet; if we do it, expect a quiet, crate-friendly setup, structured leashed walks, and your pet’s own food/bed/toys to keep their stomach and nerves steady. My work hours are Mon–Thu 7:00–4:30 and Fri 7:00–11:30, so I book sunrise and after-work slots on weekdays and stay wide-open from Friday noon through the weekend. Bottom line: consistent care, clear communication, and safety first—so tails wag, whiskers relax, and your home looks just how you left it.

“She did a great job checking in on my pup. Was always taking great pictures for peace of mind. Definitely recommend and will use her again.”

About: I have been around dogs and cats for my entire life! I helped to train our two current dogs. I am happy to go for walks, give them baths/other grooming needs, feed on time, and love 'em up!! I speak spanish, so I can communicate effectively with families/pet owners who primarily speak spanish. I am a teacher in Richfield. Animals are really special companions, like members of the family and deserve to be treated as so. Any animal that I have the opportunity to care for will be loved and treated very well. As a teacher, I have a structured daily routine with some flexibility around my working hours, so I can easily stop by for pet care visits in the late afternoon or early evening. On weekends and during school breaks, I have even more availability to spend quality time with your pets. Plus, I don’t work much during the summer, which means I can offer even more attention and flexible scheduling for your furry family members. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine so your pets always feel loved and well cared for! When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I focus on providing a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment tailored to each pet’s needs. For pets in my client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully, keeping up with their daily routines and making sure they have everything they need—fresh water, meals, exercise, and lots of attention. I make sure pets have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, including regular walks, feeding times, and play sessions. I also provide updates and photos to keep you informed and reassured while you’re away.

“Gabrielle took great care of my two cats. One of them I was especially worried about and she gave me lots of updates and pictures to let me know how he was doing. I really appreciated how thoughtful she was with him!”

“Melanie does a great job! She has good communication, sends lots of pictures to let us know how the kitties are doing. Our girls are shy but warming up to her well ☺️”

About: Looking to make some extra cash while working from home. Home full-time with my pup and have a fenced in yard. I have a small 18-lb, 4 year old resident dog who is very friendly and loves to meet new pups. I've cared for others' dogs in the past, mostly smaller dogs but some larger breeds (boxer-sized) as well. I've lived with and cared for my own dogs for the last 4-5 years, and before that did dog-sitting for others for several years. I’ve also fostered two awesome puppers, and volunteered walking and dog-sitting for other foster dogs. I love hanging out and playing with playful pups and giving them lots of love, attention, and snuggles. I also enjoy taking long walks or going for runs with dogs who have energy to burn. I can also practice tricks with your dog if there's anything you're working on together.

“Joanna was great! Communicative and took great care of my cat.”

About: I've taken care of pets of all sorts. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and give genuine love and attention to their pets. Caring for dogs is an utter joy for me. My schedule is very flexible. I can most times take requests in as little as a day's notice. I prefer weekdays and mornings for short term services. I live in a very comfortable and cozy space; perfect for small and medium sized dogs. Dogs are allowed on my furniture but I will be sensitive to client's homes and their rules for their pets.

“This was my first time using Rover for cat care and it was a breeze with Alisha! She was so professional and communicative, and it was wonderful to know that my cat was getting some love and attention while I was away. I would definitely book with her again! Thanks Alisha!”

About: I have been caring for and loving animals since childhood. More recently, I have volunteered at the Wildlife Rehab Center and currently volunteer and foster with a local dog rescue where I adopted my two loving dogs. I work in healthcare and work from home. This allows me time to devote to my 2 dogs (30lb, 25lb both female). Time for plenty of walks and frequent let-outs to my fenced in backyard. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can also crate your dog if needed. As someone who works from home, you can ensure your baby will have plenty of love, play and attention.

About: If I won the lottery I would adopt every dog from every humane society in Minnesota. I have grown up with dogs all my life and love spending my free time with dogs. In 2021 I adopted a 3-legged Husky mix that I now co-parent with my girlfriend Liz. I work a flexible schedule where my work day is split in two, so I come home in the middle of the day for a few hours, allowing me to let the dogs out, go for walks, and spend time with them. Liz has a flexible work from home job so she’s available to hang out during the day. We have a fenced-in backyard for your doggos to run and play and we also live near the airport dog park. If you have special recommendations for your fur babies please let me know and I will adhere to those rules in my house as well because I tend to be laid back and let the dogs on my bed and furniture. We can’t wait to meet you, mainly because you come with dogs, so please contact me with any questions regarding my services! I have a unique work schedule where I work early in the morning and get to come home for a few hours in the afternoon to snuggle and play with the dogs. My girlfriend works from our home so someone is always available We have a fenced in yard and will separate the dogs during meal times to avoid any disagreements. In your home or yours, we’ll follow any guidelines you provide. We’re used to disguising meds as snacks, etc.
