“Lynn was fantastic! She was extremely friendly, on time, and her communication skills were on point. She made sure to ask all the right questions before hand so Queenie’s needs were met. She sent photos and videos throughout the day. Definitely rebooking anytime we need someone to sit Queenie again!”
“Kris was fantastic! She was so patient and understanding with our overly nervous and anxious rescue dog. Our dog takes a while to warm up to strangers, so I was very nervous about having someone stay at our house, but Kris made me feel comfortable from the moment she first met our pup. Kris provided thorough communication the entire weekend. I would highly recommend her and definitely hope to have her house sit again!”

About: I'm familiar with several different sizes and breeds of pets. Some dogs, some cats. I'm used to always having a pet around. I enjoy spending time with pets. I'm currently doing what I can for work on my own. I'm hoping pet care can become another thing I do. Let me know what you need accomplished and when. I will do my best to keep your pets on a similar schedule as they are used to. I will also do my best to keep the pets comfortable.
“Lynn was AMAZING! She took care of my pups for a lengthy trip and I came home to two extremely happy puppies. She kept me updated throughout my time away, sent lots of photos, and took them on lots of walks. I booked her pretty last minute and she made sure the meet and greet process was swift and easy!”
About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was a baby. I have always enjoyed being around animals and playing with them and building trust with them and being able to cuddle with them on tough days. I have had different types of animals in my life. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamster, bearded dragon. I currently work part time as a nanny on mondays and Friday and I also currently am trying to create my own business of refurbishing furniture when I have the time. So I am available most days. If yard is fenced I let them run and play and watch them at all times. Otherwise I will put a leash on them so they stay close. I will also pay attention to where they are at all times.
“Allison watched both my dogs for a full day and was great! She provided updates throughout the day and was a great companion for them while my husband and I were working! Thank you so much! We will definitely rebook with her!”
“This is our second time with Sydney and she will be our go to dog sitter in the future! Our dogs are well loved and cared for when she’s with them, and she also takes good care of our house.”
About: Newly single dad of two and one Rottweiler (they all live with mom). Looking for extra income and I’ve been a dog sitter/house sitter for over 15 years in the Twin Cities. I work full time as a church musician so my schedule is extremely flexible. My flexible working schedule can accommodate your pup’s needs. I’m used to multiple walks and feedings during the day. I love spoiling our furry friends and will give them a ton of attention. My neighborhood is near some incredible walking trails and is very quiet in terms of traffic or people being out and about. Fenced in yard. Doggos love it here.
“Corey was very patient with our dog, who takes a long time to warm up to new people. Corey took excellent care of her giving her a lot of walks, play time, and cuddles. By the end of our trip, our dog was very happy and relaxed. Corey also took good care of our many other pets including our cats, rabbit, and chickens. He communicated well and sent a lot of pictures and videos. I would recommend Corey and plan to use him again.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and they have always been a part of the family. Dogs bring out the best in people. I am a freelance photographer so my schedule is flexible. I spend a lot of time on my feet and outside. But I will always bring a pup along We have a big house and a big yard. We also live near a beautiful walking arb. There is lots of room to stay very active!
“Bobbie was great! We were so nervous, but she sent us photos of the dogs every visit and even did extra activities with them like reading to them and an art project! One dog had some inflammation while we were gone and she was great about the sudden change of having to administer medication and give that pup extra exercise. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 and live on a 6 acre farm where the dogs can run and play all day. I’m currently between jobs but anticipate that my next work will be WFH so I can care for the dogs and other farm animals day in and day out. While the yard is not fenced per se, I do have invisible fencing if your dog is used to that system. I have 3 of my own dogs that know the boundaries and stay within them. I have a 3 bedroom house with 2 of the bedrooms unoccupied so there is plenty of space. I have crates of different sizes of your dog prefers to be crated for any length of time. One of my dogs is crated when not home the other 2 are free to roam the house and very well behaved.
“Great communication, quick to reply, shared photos of my animals with us while we were on vacation. Kasandra went above & beyond and made our very first Rover experience amazing! Thank you, Kasandra!!!”
About: Ive take care of Dogs since i was roughly 5. Also have trained dogs since i was 6, and worked at a Kennel. My first dog i trained was trained in agility My 2nd dog, i trained as my service dog, sport dog whom competes in , AKC rally, dock diving and rally. Often times, i go to work and come home to hang out with my animals, and do things directly with them, my life revolves around there needs. I do have a unfenced yard, but all my dogs that i have are tethered and have never gotten away. All my dogs are friendly except Millie. She stays separate from any dog that enters my home and is crate rotated.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs my whole life. I’ve had pretty chill dogs, rough dogs, and dogs that run away any chance they get. I’m prepared for any dog that I can take care of. I currently don’t have another job at the moment but I might work another job pretty soon. I work out and have football practice. Other than that I’m free to take care of dogs. I feed my dogs and let them out whenever they need to be let out. If they need specific things such as to be kenneled or anything of that nature I can easily do. I can also keep company with the dogs and play with them.
About: I've been described as a "natural" and a "dog whisperer" in shelter environments. I pursue continuous education in towards dogs knowing their might be better methodology. With my current dog we are working towards her Canine Good Citizen Title. Personally I'm working towards an independent Dog Training/Behaviorist certification which will require 200 hours of training experience of dogs that aren't mine over the next 3 years. I've always lived in a single dog home, but looking forward to when I might be able to have a multiple dog home. I'm available on weeknights for in home-training, drop-ins, or walks. I hope to enrich your dogs life by being an extension or substitute to your routine or working with you to develop one. Dog care starts with integrity. You must genuinely want a positive experience for yourself and the dog. I start by assessing their comfort level with me as a person, their general aversion to body handling, movement speed, and sensitivity to verbal interrupters or no reward markers. High rate of praise and treats are a much more efficient and effective tool than alternatives and don't jeopardize the human animal bond.

Nathan C.
“Going out of town for an extended vacation was nerve racking for us as puppy parents. Fortunately we had Nate who is a kind, empathetic and caring person who very quickly built a trusting relationship with us and more importantly our dogs. Nate is a natural at building rapport and was able to quickly win our dogs over. We have three dogs and he managed each of their special needs with ease. We also have a very high needs dog in terms of medication along with a regimented walking and feeding schedule. Nate managed this with utmost care and diligence. I would trust Nate 100% with our dogs and would highly recommend him to anyone else be it they have two or four legs.”

Issac R.
“Issac has a natural talent connecting with dogs and properly training them. I’ve seen him invest countless hours fostering and lovingly correcting dogs who need a strong and loving leader to settle into their potential. He’s also a great teacher of humans! His genuine curiosity, capacity to explain, patient presence, and acquired knowledge all make learning techniques of being a good dog parent from him easeful and a pleasure. I can’t recommend Issac enough. Four out of four paws 🐾 🐾”
