“We met Takenya for doggie daycare, and our dog had a wonderful day! Takenya LOVES dogs and it shows. Remy immediately took to her and the several photos and videos she sent showed how comfortable he was in her home and with her. He came home happy and tired🥳 Thank you, Takenya for caring so deeply and communicating so well!”

“Lucy, our 1yo lab/shepherd mix loved staying with Lydia! Lydia sent photos and updates, so we felt like we knew how things were going. We appreciate that she was well cared for while we were unavailable.”

“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!”

“Stephanie did a great job with my little Zena. She sent me a picture and updates on my baby to assure me how much fun Zena was having. It's hard for me to find a place or a sitter with a dog the size of Zena (5 lbs) and Stephanie made it so easy for me to book her because she had the perfect dogs and space. I'd book with Stephanie again!”

Maisee M.

“Andrea was able to take my puppy Luna on a last minute request and was great. She sent pictures keeping me updated throughout the day. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, my name is Analia. I graduated from the UMN with an animal science degree with an emphasis in pre-vet medicine. However, I am currently in the master of nursing program to get my RN license. I absolutely love animals! I have much experience in animal care, having worked at a vet hospital, a wildlife rehab center, and in an animal research lab. I have a dog of my own (husky mix) who I’ve cared for since a puppy and I used to have a shitz tzu mix. I am very patient, responsible, and flexible. I also have experience bathing dogs and nail trimming both cats and dogs. I promise you that I will always treat your pet with the same love and care that I would give my own :) Currently I am a full time student at the UMN in a fast paced 16month program. My schedule changes every 4 months but I am home most days - only gone for no more than 10 hours a week. I will keep my availabilities open on the days I don’t have class. I have a fenced yard and a husky mix, who will be excited to make any new friends. I have a crate meant for a large dogs that is available if needed. I also have extra leashes and lots of treats and toys!

About: I've been a dog lover my entire life. In fact, when I was little, I used to tell my mom I wanted to be a dog when I grew up! 😂 My passion for dogs led me to begin fostering in 2019, and since then I've helped around 40 dogs find their forever homes. I've worked with dogs from all kinds of backgrounds, though many of my fosters have been puppy mill survivors who needed extra patience, understanding, and support as they adjusted to life in a home. I've fostered with several wonderful rescue organizations, including Underdog Rescue, MidAmerica Boston Terrier Rescue, Minneapolis Animal Control, and Coco's Heart. Through fostering, I've gained experience with dogs of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I've also fostered blind and deaf dogs. I have experience administering oral medications, eye drops and topicals. Since losing my job in February, I've decided to focus on Rover full-time. The upside for your dog is that I'm home most of the day and can provide plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention. I live in a first-floor duplex in South Minneapolis with a fully fenced yard. I share my home with two friendly dogs: a senior blind Boston Terrier and a playful 3-year-old who loves having the right playmate. Because we've welcomed so many foster dogs into our home over the years, both of my dogs are comfortable meeting new canine friends and are adaptable to different personalities and energy levels. My younger dog is a swimmer, so during the summer we love visiting the dog park at Minnehaha Falls. If your dog enjoys adventures, has reliable recall, and you'd be comfortable with it, I'd be happy to bring them along! I want visiting dogs to feel as comfortable as possible, so I try to maintain the routines they're used to at home. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, and I'm flexible when it comes to crating, sleeping arrangements, and daily routines. If your dog normally sleeps in bed with their people, they're welcome to sleep with me too. While I do take my dogs on walks several times a week, daily walks are not part of our regular routine. If your dog requires daily walks, please let me know at the time of booking so we can discuss their needs and make sure we're a good fit. I provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and having a great time. A few things to know before booking: • While I am home most of the time, there are occasional events or commitments that may keep me away for 4+ hours. I will do my best to communicate this ahead of time, but please let me know if your dog cannot be left alone for that length of time so I can confirm my schedule before accepting a booking. To ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone, my home is generally the best fit for dogs who are: • Comfortable in a relatively calm household. Very high-energy dogs can be stressful for my senior dog, who is blind. • Reasonably quiet when left alone. Normal barking at delivery drivers or unfamiliar noises is completely fine. However, because I live in a duplex with shared walls, I am unable to host dogs who bark continuously when alone or throughout the night. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and I'm always happy to answer questions to help determine if we're the right fit for each other.

About: I've cared for over 15 different dog breeds since I was 10 years old, from high energy hunting dogs to cozy lap snugglers. Friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets for years. With 8 years in animal welfare, I understand behavior and emotions, including noise fears, nervousness with new people, leash reactivity, shy/timid, resource guarding, seniors, puppies, and special needs pets. I also care for cats of all personalities independent explorers, playful toy lovers, and devoted snugglers. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, stress free home where they feel truly cared for while you're away. Each dog in my care receives personalized attention and love. For daycare and boarding, I limit to two dogs at a time to ensure quality care while they are in a new environment. When house sitting in your home, I can happily care for up to four dogs, keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. I’m happy to provide photo updates, and our home is fully prepared for play, rest, and supervision. I’m home during the day, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, and enrichment. Every pet in my care enjoys a healthy balance of play, mental stimulation, walks, and quiet time to rest and recharge. Evenings are cozy and relaxed, filled with gentle supervision and snuggles, so pets feel safe, happy, and loved from morning to night. I have a fully fenced yard with secure gate locks to keep pets safe, and I’m happy to make adjustments using leads or harnesses for curious or adventurous pups. I also maintain an up-to-date list of urgent care and emergency veterinary clinics throughout the metro area for added peace of mind. Potential clients are always welcome to schedule a video home tour to see the setup and environment their pet would be in. My home allows for kenneling if needed, and I can provide large and extra large crates. I also offer separate spaces for feeding time and am located near several nearby parks for walks. For cats, I can provide a quiet, separate space if they need time to decompress. In addition to care in my home, I also offer house sitting so pets can remain comfortable in their own environment and routines. I’m located about 15 minutes from MSP Airport, which many traveling pet parents find convenient for drop-off and pick-up. Street parking is available in the area, and rideshares to the airport are typically around $20.

“So grateful Shmueli has y’all to hang out with throughout my varying work schedule!!! He’s so happy hanging out with you!”

“Absolutely incredible experience. Celia was easy to communicate with and sent me pics of my pup throughout the day. I would love to book again - highly recommmend”

Kasey W.

“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!”

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have always been an animal lover. I’ve worked at a pet boarding facility (The Paw), and I’ve worked in veterinary clinics as a veterinary assistant (Apache Animal Hospital). My husband, Thomas, and I both live in our duplex property with our dog, Jojo, and our cat, Jack-Jack. I’d love to be a reliable caretaker for your pet when you need it! My work schedule is flexible, so I am easily able to step away to take my dog out for potty breaks and walks. I work from home 4 days a week, and my husband works from home 5 days a week. Our yard is fully fenced in, so your dog can safely roam outside. I don't crate my dog at home, but if that is what your dog is used to I am happy to accommodate whatever would make them most comfortable.

“Emilie was so good to my dog, Walter. I felt really comfortable leaving her with him for the whole day. She sent tons of pictures of him while I was at work and said he played all day -- which was perfect! I'm definitely going to be rebooking in the future. :-) Walter was pooped once we got home.”

“Alyson is wonderful! Our pup stayed with her while we were visiting town and I'm so so glad we found her. Alyson was super responsive and easy to communicate with and really flexible. Plus my pup was zonked out after we picked him up, so he must have played a lot and had a great time.”
