“i’ve been using emerson consistently multiple times a week for almost a year now- he is flexible, communicative and extremely reliable. he does a great job with my large doodle and even was able to manage my two large dogs when i had them both. will continue using emerson and highly recommend!”

About: I have CPR training, years of caretaking and medication administration experience, and a lifetime of loving on pets of all ages and sizes. Informal pet sitting has also been a part of my routine for many years. I have lots of free time this summer, and have many pockets of availability throughout the school year beginning in September, so I am happy to set up longer term relationships. I have a completely fenced yard, one friendly cat at home, and only a few steps for older dogs to handle. I am happy to follow any crazy routine you and your pet have!
About: I’ve taken care of many different pets my whole life, I grew up with many different pets in my family. I currently have a well trained pet of my own, my friends and family come to me when they are in need of a sitter. I’m currently a part time college student, so I only go to class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, with my remaining time out of school, I have plenty of time to play and hangout with pets! I do not have a fully fenced yard but I do have a gated area on the side of my house. The gated area is big enough for dogs to run and play! I also have a small dog of my own to keep other dogs entertained!
“Teresa and our pup had such lovely times together! We are so grateful for Teresa’s communication, reliability, as well as patience with our young, high-energy pup. It can be hard for us to leave our dogs, however we could trust Teresa, knowing she brings safety & care. We’d totally book her again if she’d have us! Thanks again, Teresa!”

About: I have two dogs and a cat. My dogs are 55-60 pounds each. I also have experience pet sitting and house sitting for several close friends. I’m currently not working a FT or PT job. My goal is to do rover solely, so I’m available every day for most of the day. I am very attentive and operations minded which means I’m punctual and organized. I’m also extremely empathetic and loving. I would treat your pets like I treat my own - with respect, divinity, and love. Play times are my favorite so your pets will have plenty of fun time with me. If you’re open to having my dog Marley in your home I can bring him for play dates.
About: Hi! I'm Brinn and I'm a Minnesota transplant, here from Michigan. I've grown up with dogs, cats, and other small animas my entire life. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time M-F but have a flexible schedule, especially on Mondays, Fridays, and throughout the weekend. I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or sitting during these times, and I’m often able to adjust my availability as needed. Please feel free to reach out for my exact hours — I’m flexible with both time and location and always happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I’m always respectful of your space and follow your care instructions closely. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as much as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel comfortable and at ease. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and keep a close eye on your pet’s comfort and safety. I also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Lauren is such a wonderful person! Very personable, great communication, and she took such great care of my dog Skylar. They went for an hour-long walk around my neighborhood. Skylar looked so happy and was perfectly tired from the exercise. Highly recommend Lauren and will definitely book again!”

About: I have 23 years of pet ownership experience (cats, reptiles, and a simple fish tank). I also have a bit of volunteer experience training service dogs and have taken care of friends' pets while they're away. I work my other job from home and determine my own hours, so my schedule is generally very flexible. I have a weekday evening commitment a couple times a week, but I can easily work around that two hour block of time. I love animals and will do everything I can to take care of yours as if they're my own. Let's discuss medical needs before booking, and I will make sure I have your vet's information in case of emergencies. I require a meet & greet for first time bookings. This is a complimentary visit to meet your animals, learn the routines, and ask each other any questions we need to make sure they get the best care.
About: Worked with PAWS at the University Of Minnesota which helps people meet animals safely. It helped me educate more people about how pets support mental health and wellbeing. My favorite thing in the world is hosting those angels in my residence. I’m currently taking summer classes but when im not in school i’m usually pretty free. I walk everyday in the morning so i usually like to have a buddy to accompany me! I prefer to adjust to the owner’s style rather than doing my own way. I’ve learned that cats and dogs especially can get pretty uncomfortable with sudden changes to their routines and schedules.

About: I've always had an immense love of animals. I grew up with two cats and a small dog, have volunteered at animal shelters since I was a kid, and currently help care for my boyfriend's cat. I also bring two years of hands-on experience working at a pet store, where I handled animals daily and learned a lot about their behavior and needs. Animals have always felt like a natural part of my life, and I treat every pet in my care like my own! As a student taking online classes this summer, I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the day, including walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I live in a Minneapolis apartment with a pet courtyard for easy potty breaks and access to nearby parks and river trails for walks. I keep a calm, clean home environment and treat every pet like my own. I always communicate with owners through updates and photos so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.
“Leah was great for Arf’s daily walk. She was on time, sent a report and pictures each day. She was accommodating when I needed to add an extra day and prompt to respond. We will definitely use her again!”

Teresa and our pup had such lovely times together! We are so grateful for Teresa’s communication, reliability, as well as patience with our young, high-energy pup. It can be hard for us to leave our dogs, however we could trust Teresa, knowing she brings safety & care. We’d totally book her again if she’d have us! Thanks again, Teresa!

Alex was so patient with my new rescue dog in her second day at home. She scares easily snd Alex was very patient. I appreciate him building trust with my dog. Also, Alex is a very friendly, nice guy also. I will definitely be hiring Alex again to continue to socialize my dog and give her the activity she needs.

Jessica was the dream to work with! She flexed with us when we were dealing with some unknown scheduling details, was so sweet with our quirky dogs, and was so responsive! We will reach out to her for all of our dog care needs in the future. You can feel confident your pups are in GREAT hands with her.

We really appreciate Kiah! She was able to come by on a last-minute request to give our sweetheart Leia lunch and take her for a walk, which meant so much to us. She did a great job and kept us updated — Leia looked so happy in the photos and clearly enjoyed all the belly rubs. We’re so grateful for her flexibility and care. Would absolutely recommend Kiah!
