Valerie was so sweet and thoughtful with our dogs! Lots of walks and pets. She really went the extra mile by bringing bones for them. Thank you!

Tonya stopped by when we were home before our visit! She was very friendly with us and Jersey. She was prompt with her visit and detailed with photos :) We will certainly be reaching out to Tonya again in the future!

Mark did 3 drop-in visits for me over 2 days while I was at work and my mom who normally watches my pets was gone. I have a very new to me 11 year old rescue dog (adopted 4 days before Mark's first scheduled visit), another 11 year old rescue dog, and a pair of 5 year old ginger cats. Everyone seemed to really like him at our meet and greet. I felt very comfortable with him coming into my home. He very quickly had my new guy sitting in his lap! Got everybody out, entertained, fed, and happy. It was such a relief to have someone reliable to take care of my fur kiddos while I was at work. I will definitely ask Mark to help with these guys again!

About: Hi there! I am an avid animal lover with 17 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities, breeds, ages, and energy levels. I have had 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own, 12 foster dogs (not at the same time!) and have cared for many animals through Rover. I offer drop-in and dog walk services in the Hudson/Stillwater area. I work remote and have plenty of flexibility and availability to help fill in when you want a little help caring for your fur family. No upcharges for holidays either! Whether in your home, in your yard, or out and about, the safety of you pet, and their needs are top priority. I have engaged in a variety of dog training courses with my own dog so have no problem maintaining the rules you have in place for you animal/s.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, have years of pet sitting experience, and have volunteered with shelter dogs at the Animal Humane Society in Woodbury! I have a one year old pup that we adore. I work full time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for midday walks and check-ins. I’m also available most evenings after 4:30 for later walks, drop-ins, or extra care as needed. I try to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible by sticking closely to their normal routine. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and potty breaks while also respecting any routines, training, or house rules already in place.

About: I have grown up with dogs in the house my whole life and being in college far from home I don't get to see my dog as much so any chance to hangout with some puppies count me in! I have class Tuesday and Thursday morning and most nights, and practice from 1-4 usually but other than that I am free to come drop in or take dogs for walks! I always let them sniff me and get to know me, and I try to use a very inviting and calm voice when getting to know the dogs. I am used to having pretty big dogs my whole life so they don't frighten me and a lot of times they think they are the puppies!

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 10 years old. I have had pets my whole life including dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, birds and reptiles. I would care for your pet like it was my own. I love nature and animals. My pets are part of the family and I know it's difficult to trust someone else with a beloved pet. I am available most nights and weekends. If you work odd hours then I can help out and make sure your pet is cared for. I treat every pet like a member of the family. I would make sure they feel comfortable and secure and know it takes time to grow trust.

I was very pleased with Stephanie's care of Jazzy. I appreciated the photos and notes she sent me. She also respected and took care of my home. I will call upon her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone wanting care for their pet.

Vanessa is a true cat-lover and our cat was comfortable with her from the first time they met. She took excellent care of him while we were away on vacation, followed directions, and I would highly recommend her to other cat parents.

About: I grew up with animals all throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and help my mom foster for Cocos Heart and other animal rescues. I’ve worked with many different dog breeds through my past job at PetSuites and through pet sitting. BACK FOR THE SUMMER!! I’m currently working part time at two jobs during the week but will be able to make check-ins in between shifts. The weekends I’m available anytime for check-ins or walks! I try to provide more than just the basic needs to my pets and any pet I care for. This includes feeding and medications, walking, playing, and hanging out with the pets to keep them company. I’m relatively active so I can take the pets for longer walks and runs if requested. I always put the pet first and make sure they feel safe and comfortable with my presence.

About: I go the extra mile for the animals and the owners to make sure the pets are getting the best care possible. Respect is very important to me and showing respect to your animals and you is more than everything to me. I have taken care of (walked, home stay, drop-in) a variety of pets and will send updates and messages throughout our visits and time together. I love all animals but dogs have a special place in my heart ❤️. I am a high school student but get out at 11 everyday so I try and take advantage of that opportunity as it allows me to be flexible for your needs. I’m a very clean and organized pet owner! Their bowl of water is always filled and cleaned, I’ll clean up after your pets as needed, and the environment in which the pet is in will be tidy for you to come home to.

About: My lifelong passion for animals began on our family’s organic dairy farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin, where I learned the dedication required to care for animals of all sizes. Over the years, we have opened our hearts and home to our friends' pets, gaining extensive hands-on experience with everything from energetic dogs to gentle bunnies. As a homeschool family, someone is almost always home to provide continuous love, attention, and structured care. We spend plenty of time outside so your pet will have lots of opportunities to exercise and spend time in the sun. Your pet will enjoy full access to our house and a large, securely fenced yard perfect for safe outdoor exploration. Located in a peaceful, dog-friendly neighborhood, we offer a warm, reliable, and attentive home-away-from-home where your pet will be treated like family.

About: I've had more than 2 dogs in my home my entire life, from 8 week old puppies to seniors. I have experience giving the dogs medicine when they need it. I work part time at a retail store, so I am never working more than 9 hours at a time, I usually only work 4-5 hours normally. I make the pets my priority when I am caring for them and I watch their behaviors so I can catch anything out of the ordinary. I follow feeding directions and potty schedules.

About: My family has had a dog that I’ve loved to take care of and spend time with since I was 8. Also I would take care of my family’s dog since friends’ dog whenever they were out of town as a kid. I’m currently back for the summer from college so I have lots of time to take care of pets both overnight and during the day. I won’t be able to take pets into my home but can go to the owners house night or day. If for any reason you don’t have a leash or dog treats or something along those lines I’ll be able to bring it.

Valerie was great with our two kitties! Our boy cat is typical not trusting of new people and can be hard to work with, and she was very patient with him! Our girl cat became best friends with Valerie!! She was very thorough with her duties, had great communication and I know our kitties were well taken care of!
