About: I've taken care of all types of pets from a very young age. Whether it be a tiny chihuahua to a sizeable Bullmastiff, a cat, birds including chickens, reptiles, fish, even small furry friends like rabbits or ferrets. I have adored and been fascinated by animals my whole life and am up for any challenge you throw at me. I've personally trained my dog to follow voiceless hand signal commands and he is also special needs, so caring for a senior or special needs animal is a breeze for me! I've even provided end of life care for my grandmother's cat, which included administering fluids via injection, so don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Not to mention that I have experience raising young kittens and squirrels at milk drinking ages! I am available from 7am to 5pm Monday through Friday and overnights on Fridays and Saturdays. I could possibly do extended overnight stays in my own home if your pet is dog, cat, and young child friendly. Whether it be for a walk, potty break, comfort while you're away, socializing and training your puppy basic commands (and maybe a few tricks), or even just taking your furry friend out for a pup cup and to a sniff spot, I'm the gal for you. I will even provide litter or doggy doo doo cleanup for an additional price. Your pet will always be safe and loved in my hands. I am currently in between jobs, and my kiddos go to daycare from 7am-5pm M-F, so I am available to help between those times, or overnights at your house on Fridays and Saturdays. I could be purr-suaded to do extended overnight stays at my house if your feline is cat, dog, and young child friendly. If I am caring in my home, I have 3 cats-all fixed- a special needs male dog who is NOT fixed due to medical reasons, and two kids under the age of 5. If you choose to keep your pet at my home, they need to be able to get along with them or be kept in a separate room. If you have a female dog, they would need to be fixed with proof of spay. My special needs dog has no business procreating! I have a large home and a decent sized yard with a tie-out cable so that your pet can explore my whole backyard safely without fear of taking off. I also have a screened in porch that I often let the cats roam in during the nicer months. I have a Honda CR-V, so I can keep decently large dogs in the car as well for transport or in case of emergency. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will cuddle, play, exercise, and feed & water them to their hearts content. I will ask however for an extra fee to pick up any dog poo or clean litter boxes.

About: I've owned many pets over the years and taken full care and responsibility for them, I help my mom out at the human society and I help my mom dogsit for her dog sitting business. I would prefer part time on the weekends, as long as im given 12 hours notice and I can do part-time on the weekdays if given a week's headsup. I usually take dogs out every 3 hours and I've cared for dogs and cats with a plethora of different diets, bathroom schedules and medications that they are required to have. I live in a dorm right now so I don't doing care in my home for the time being.

“I was really nervous about leaving my sweet little guy for the weekend but with Bailey on the job I was able to enjoy my weekend out of town and her photos after each check in showed just how happy he was. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve had everything from high-energy Vizslas and Weimaraners to squishy-faced English Bulldogs and now two tiny but mighty Yorkies—so I totally get the range of pet personalities! Add in my four cats and you’ll see I’m fully immersed in the pet life 24/7. I genuinely love being around animals—whether it’s playtime or snuggle time, I’m all in. Pet sitting isn’t just a gig for me—it’s an extension of the love I already have for my own furry crew. I currently work from home, which gives me a super flexible schedule for pet care. I’m happy to stop by before or after my workday—or even swing by for a quick lunch break visit! I also love getting outside, so if your pup’s into walks, that’s a win for both of us. Whether it’s a cuddle session, a potty break, or playtime, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. That means sticking to their regular feeding schedule, walk times, and any special instructions you leave for me. I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable—whether that’s extra playtime, cozy snuggles, or just keeping them company. I also keep things tidy and treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine.

“Heidi is amazing. This was our first time using rover and only second time leaving our girls for multiple nights. Heidi kept us very informed/updated on the dogs and they loved her! I didn’t worry about anything. She even brought our recycling can in for us. 10/10 recommend.”

I have been volunteering with various rescue organizations for years (mostly transport and events) and have previous experience working with a service dog organization as well. I'm confident in my ability to safely handle all kinds of dogs, medication administration, light grooming (baths, nails, ears, teeth brushing), and training reinforcement. I'm also known to make my own homemade dog treats and would love to spoil your pup. I have very flexible scheduling and can't wait to provide you with an excellent experience!

About: Hello! I'm Tina. I live in Waconia, and I'm looking to care for your dogs, for walks, quiet snuggles, or just a good run around the back yard. Will house/pet sit as well. I've had 3 dogs in my life, and 20+ years of playtime, laughs, and bonding with my "kids" as I call them. I currently have a 15 year old shih tzu/mix who is my baby. In the past, I've taken care of one of my dogs, who had many health issues, so I'm experienced with senior or special needs animals. I've administered meds (pills), spent many days at the vet, and am very sensitive to ill animals and senior animals who just want to rest or have low key play. I have experience with puppies as well who are looking to just have fun! I'm very responsible and dedicated to my animals, and would be the same with yours. Give me a try! =) Right now my schedule is open availability, so I'll have plenty of time to devote to your animal and their needs. I have availability on weekends as well, but that can change by the week. I have an unfenced yard and one senior little ole lady shih tzu who is extremely low maintenance and very sweet. She has free range of the house, but I do crate her when I'm away from home for periods of time.

“Truly a wonderful experience! I was out of town for a wedding, and had to leave my anxious pup alone for the first time. Gabrielle made the process so easy - and made sure to keep me updated and took good care her! She kept up with her meds, and paid close attention to other dogs while out on walks. Will be booking again!”

“Very responsive to messages. Dogs loved her!”

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I've shared my home with furry companions for over twenty years. Growing up with rescue dogs taught me patience and how every dog has their own story, while my current yellow lab keeps me active and reminds me daily of the joy that comes from a dog's unconditional love. I understand how much pets mean to their families and the importance of maintaining their comfort when you're away. From energetic pups who need lots of exercise to gentle seniors who prefer quiet companionship, I approach each dog with genuine affection and the same care I give my own. You can trust that your beloved companion will be treated like family. I'm available to pet sit from Friday through Monday and would love to help care for your pet during this time. I work from home on both Fridays and Mondays, so I'll be around throughout those days to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care. This means your pet won't be left alone for extended periods on those days. Over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday), I'm also fully available to maintain their regular routine, take them for walks, provide meals on schedule, and give them all the love and attention they need. I’m also available Tuesdays - Thursday before 8am & after 4:30pm I'd be happy to discuss your pet's specific needs, routine, and any special care instructions. Please let me know if you'd like to set up a time to meet beforehand so your pet can get comfortable with me. I’ll visit the house at scheduled times to let the dog outside for bathroom breaks and provide meals according to the feeding schedule. If the dog needs exercise beyond the yard time, I’ll take them for a walk around the neighborhood. Each visit lasting 30 minutes, focusing on the dog's immediate needs - relieving themselves, eating, and getting a bit of attention. I’ll secure the house when leaving and may send an update about how the dog is doing

About: Hello, my name is Allie and it's safe to say that I love dogs. I work at a dog daycare so I have experience with a lot of different breeds and temperaments. My speciality is working with the shy terrified dogs. When it comes to walking dogs I do have experience with gentle leaders and double leashing. I have a Vizsla puppy and a Chihuahua. The two of them have taught me how to be extremely active and mellow at the same time. My schedule is fairly flexible throughout the week and weekends. Before working with dogs I worked at a group home. That experience gave me the ability to pay attention to the littlest details and to have fast reflexes. I also have experience passing medication (convincing dogs that it's not awful). I would love to be your fury friends friend.

“Tim was extremely friendly and caring for our pets. His feedback and pictures were greatly appreciated!!”

“Janneke is great with our girl and we come home to a happy walked pup!! She is timely, friendly and makes sure to give us updates and notes any changes she notices with our dog. Thank you!”

About: I am a 29 year old who loves working with animals!. I have 11 years of experience working with dogs. I also own one pup of my own, he is a Golden Retriever named Wally. He is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs! I also have two kitties named Watson & Wynnie. If needed, I can do baths and nail trims! I also work part time as a dog trainer, so I am here for anyone who needs any extra tips or wants help with any basic training needs. I usually work 12 til 7pm during the week but have some days off. I can do walks before or after I am off of work! I am very cautious with other people’s pets as I work in a dog facility. I am specialized in dog language and am very good about telling what your dogs needs are.

About: Hi! I’m Megan, and I’ve spent years working hands-on with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a strong background in pet care, including working as a dog trainer for both group classes and private clients, as well as experience in dog daycare, boarding, and veterinary settings. I’ve cared for dogs in many environments and I’m comfortable handling everything from basic care to more behavior-focused needs. I have experience reading dog body language and helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve been extensively involved in rescue work as a foster home and running a shelter behavior group of volunteers so I’m especially patient with reactive, anxious, or higher-needs dogs. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and tailoring care to what works best for them. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, you can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care—just like I would for my own. I’m currently a stay at home mom and so I am able to be flexible in most cases. Evenings and weekends will be my most available times! I have two dogs of my own who are very used to new animals coming and going. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but do have tie outs or can leash walk any pets at my home. Every animal has different needs, so I will do my best to figure out what sleeping arrangements make them the most comfortable during their stay (I have kennels of every size so people do not need to bring theirs back and forth unless they prefer to). I’m well versed in methods of calming for pets that might be nervous. I do have a 6 month old infant at home who is very used to dogs, but any pets coming in to my home would need to be safe and comfortable around her.
