Dog Sitting in Mendota Heights

“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!”

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.

“Penny has been great. Norbu seems to really like her, she was very punctual and appeared to enjoy what she is doing. I would definitely use Penny again.”

“My first time using Rover. Kayleah was really great! The pictures she sent put me at ease, when I got home I saw that she had cleaned the floors! I was so surprised, what a treat! I am so glad this service is available!”

“Kaelyn was great watching our cat while we were out of town! She was responsive and prompt and we came home to a happy cat, we'd definitely recommend her!”

“We have sweet dogs, but they are seniors and need a little extra care. Lissa goes above and beyond when taking care of their needs. She sends great updates and from the pictures she sends I can tell the dogs are comfortable with her. And as an added bonus, she takes great care of our home too! We all love Lissa!”

About: I have been a dog owner/carer since I was young, and as an adult I have owned many dogs. My dogs are like my children and I have only ever used Rover for their care, which is why I know I would make a great sitter. I am retired, live an active lifestyle and have a pup who will be 2 in June 2025. We walk at least twice a day and hit the dog park for extra exercise. I am retired and can make anything work, including early morning dropoffs, late night pickups, plenty of potty breaks and walks. Also any number of drop ins to your home. I do charge an extra $30 for any booking request within 24 hours of a sit, as I may need to rearrange my schedule. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a decent front and side yard. The local walking path and park is just a block away. I can offer one portable crate if needed. My own pet stays in a crate at night and when I am away. I have a gate to the stairs and she is not upstairs.

About: I have an extensive background in caring for both my own & family & friends pets! I notice body language & can discern what your pet is trying to tell me!!! I make time everyday to care for my 2 cats! My pets are my children & only receive the best care from me with no excuses! Everyday I make sure I scoop both of my 2 cats litterboxes as well as feeding them & ensuring their water is clean & their beloved toys aren't under any furniture!!

“Joel took wonderful care of my cat Ozzy while I was gone for a long weekend! He checked in on him daily, gaving him pets, playing with him, kept his litterbox clean and freshened his water! He also made sure to provide me with updates and photos of Ozzy while I was gone. I will definitely be using Joel as a cat sitter in the future!”

“Jade did a great job with my kitty. Thank you so much for stopping by early to keep to her schedule! I appreciate you taking such good care of her while I was gone!”

“Brenna really went above and beyond! Highly highly recommend. I have a diabetic cat and another one on Prozac and to say I was worried to them is an understatement. Brenna noticed right away when my diabetic cat wasn’t eating, which can potentially be a big issue when on insulin. She then took it upon herself to play some music and sit with him while he ate and this worked like a charm! Also her frequent communication and journaling/pictures/videos put my mind at ease, she really is exceptional at what she does. Thank you Brenna”

Katelyn E.

“Excellent communication!!”

“Natalie was wonderful!!!! She played with our pups during her visits and sent great photos as well. She will definitely be on my rebooking list.”

About: My wife Sy and I have loved growing our fur family, we have felt so much gratitude and satisfaction rescuing and training each pet to be sweet, smart, obedient pals. As a couple we like to enjoy our home, we have a fully fenced in yard and lots of cozy lounging spots spread around our home. We currently have one 6 month old pup who is very social and attends puppy day cares herself to be emerged with dogs of all breeds and ages, as well as two one-year old cats who still have kitten energy and love to play with each other, including their dog sister. All of our pets are spayed and neutered. One of our cats has IBS and is on medication so we have gotten to be pros at administering medications to squirmy and quick kitties. Some days I travel for work, and Sy is home full time to care for your furry friends. As stated earlier I travel for work but usually have half the month off to spend time with your four legged friends, and Sy is home full time to hold down the fort. We have a fully fenced yard with plenty of outdoor toys, and a very social puppy to keep them company. Please let me know of any special requests, allergies or quirks as well as known commands that your pet responds to so I can match my training style to yours.

“We always know our puppers are in trusted and caring hands with Remy and Kevin.”

“Alli was absolutely amazing! She was very responsive and did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were away. I would wholeheartedly recommend her and would be honored to have her as our rover again! :)”

Taylor D.

“Rilyn was amazing with my dogs! I would highly recommend.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and am currently not in a position to own my own so I am looking to help others and get to spend time with pets until I can get my own. I grew up in a family that dog sat my whole life, and am excited to continue that tradition. I have helped raise dogs of all ages, including puppies and very sick senior dogs. I currently work full-time and am looking for opportunities to take care of and walk dogs before and after work and any time on the weekends. I live in an apartment in the city with dedicated areas to take your dog outside. It is a very pet-friendly community with dogs and cats seemingly everywhere!

About: I have always been a huge animal lover — as a little kid, instead of checking out picture books or DVDs at the library, I’d always want to bring home the encyclopedia of dog breeds. I also would BEG my parents to let me use our family computer to browse the AKC website. Now, my husband and I have our own fur kids — loveable, friend-to-everyone boxer mix Rory, and wily, sweet cat Goose. We both absolutely love animals but can’t have any more in our home right now, which is where Rover comes in. Both my husband and I have experience with senior dogs and puppies with special needs, including sticking to a medication schedule and a customized potty schedule. Since I work from home a majority of the time, we can accommodate daytime walks/playtime and TONS of attention/enriching activities. Lastly, as a former nanny, I know the importance of providing frequent updates/photos/communication — I always want you to know that your pup is doing well and in great hands while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet you!! I’m currently working from home 4 days out of 5, so I have tons of flexibility to do daytime walks, playtime/meals/medication, etc. If we do have to be out of the home, we make sure to crate everyone so all pets have their own space, and for everyone’s peace of mind. I have a friendly, sweet 3 year-old boxer named Rory who would love to play with your dog if you’re comfortable— otherwise, she’ll stay at home and your pup will get all of our attention. 🥰

About: Lifelong dog lover with experience in care, companionship, and training—dedicated to providing safe, loving, and reliable support for every pup’s unique needs. Currently grieving the loss of my soul dog and missing our walks. I love being outside and would love to walk your pup. I currently work a full time job 2pm-10pm Tuesday-Friday and every other weekend. I would be available to do walks in the morning and midday. I create a calm, pet-centered environment where safety and trust come first. I follow routines, respect boundaries, and offer gentle, attentive care in your home and community Whether it's play, walks, or downtime, I make sure every pet feels secure, seen, and loved.
