Pet Sitting in Minnetonka

“Lindy and Seth took good care of my cat while I was out of town. They communicated frequently with me. They tried hard to find my cat to take a picture, but she is an expert at hiding.”

Beth R.

“Love her. She's the best!”

“Katja arrived promptly and did exactly as asked. She was very gentle with my puppy and sent me updates of their visit. Will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Heidi watched my two cats when I had to be out of town on short notice for a funeral. She was amazing. One of cats needs a daily medication, and she jumped right in and made me feel super comfortable about it. I think what I also really appreciated was that she gave me honest updates. For example, the first night Binx was kind of a goob about letting her get into his ear, but then he got better after she was around a bit. I think I prefer that as opposed to "everything is great!" I was also mortified when I didn't get my hungryroot box canceled, and she graciously put everything in the fridge for me. I felt so comfortable with them under her care, I could even relax on the day of the funeral and not be constantly checking my phone for a rover card! When I got home, my cats were chill and well cared for. I will definitely use her again.”

“Sara took great care of our 2 dogs while we were away. We loved her pictures & notes AND she voluntarily shoveled our driveway after a big snow! We will hire Sara again!”

“Amanda was so amazing with my elderly, chronically ill cat. I really appreciated how thorough she was with checkins and attending to my cat's needs (and wants 😄). I'd definitely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their pet!”

Esther N.

“Taylor was perfect for our somewhat nervous dog. She sent photos daily and even got our pup to sit in her lap. We felt soo comfortable allowing her in our house while we were away! I would recommend her to anyone!!”

About: My wife and I have had paws in our house almost from day 1. Over the years we have had 6 dogs and 7 cats, all of which came on board as puppies or kittens, and they all lived long and happy lives. Currently we have 1 dog and 2 cats. I am now retired, so I have maximum flexibility to schedule sitting/walking times. The biggest competitors for my time are the grandkids, and the lawnmower in the summer and snow shovel in the winter. Our cats are indoor cats with access to a screen porch to satisfy their outdoor desires. We have used the Invisible Fence for our previous larger dogs. The client would set the requirements for care at the pet's home. I also have walking shoes and a leash for doggie exercise. I have not signed up to care for client's animals at our house.

“Sarah was impeccable - she was prompt, flexible, the dogs loved her, and there were 0 issues. Highly recommend! So thankful she took care of our doggies while we were away.”

About: Hey there! I’m JinAe-a lifelong dog lover to my core & a proud parent to a playful 1 year old pup who believes every dog is a potential new best friend. I've had dogs throughout my life from a spirited Irish Setter to a reactive rescue who needed extra TLC, plus many more. Whether your dog is up for a calm walk, game of chase, or a good old-fashioned nap, I’m here to offer care that feels like home-belly rubs included. First time using Rover? Click on the link for $20 off! Happy you are here! https://www.rover.com/sit/jinaeb95494 Caring for dogs isn’t a side gig, it’s part of my who I am. Every morning starts with a walk (rain or shine!), a round of play, and cuddles with my own dog before I dive into the day. I carve out time daily & weekly for client pups, whether it’s neighborhood strolls, park play dates, or home visits. I thrive on the structure & joy that dog care brings-it’s a welcome constant in my schedule. I plan my calendar around wagging tails & happy paws and wouldn’t have it any other way. Pet safety, comfort, & happiness are my top priorities-always. In my home pets are treated like family, with cozy spaces to relax, regular playtime, & routines to help them feel secure and loved. I maintain a clean, pet friendly environment and tailor each day to fit their individual needs. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the same attentive approach: following instructions closely, keeping schedules consistent, & making sure pets feel calm & cared for, even when their owner’s are away. For anxious pups, I bring extra patience & calm energy. I avoid overwhelming stimulation, offer gentle reassurance & give them time to adjust at their own pace. Whether it’s using their favorite toy, a scent from home, or simply sitting nearby, I focus on what makes them feel safe. I’ve found that a steady routine & lots of positive reinforcement go a long way in helping nervous dogs build trust and relax.

“Alicia did an excellent job taking care of my cat, Cloudy. She provided thorough and detailed updates every time she visited, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, Cloudy was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and attentive sitter!”

“Ella was amazing with our cats! One of our cats is very shy and the other has a sensitive stomach. We were very reassured to know she was taking good care of them and understood their needs. We really enjoyed the pictures too- the kitties looked so happy! We will definitely book with Ella again in the future!”

Caroline P.

“I highly recommend Kate for your pet sitting needs. She took excellent care of my two beloved cats while I was out of town for my sister’s wedding. I was provided with updates and pictures and it was clear that my cats were well taken care of and enjoyed her visits. Thank you, Kate!”

“Megan has been very helpful with our new puppy! We really appreciate her!!”

About: I have a German shepherd who is amazing and also dog reactive so Ive gotten good at walking her and learning how to deal with her reactive behavior I have to take care of my puppy and adding another dog to the schedule isn’t very hard for me to do. I will always make time to hang out and take care of animals I have my dog in my house with me and if there is an issue with my dog not getting along with yours I’m able to keep them separate. I will be around pretty much the whole time while I’m caring for your dog.

“Teresa did a great job looking after Misha. She conscientiously followed his route and routine. When I got home everything was in order and I was greeted by a happy boy.”

Christopher J.

“Outstanding care! This was our first time leaving the boys home and it went so smoothly with Jana!”

About: Retired engineer and animal lover. High level of empathy and compassion for others. I look forward to taking great care of your animals. Thank you. I am a retired mechanical engineer and I have plenty of free time. I am able to assist for short and long periods of time. I will follow any and all rule you have with your animals. I do not have a fenced yard but would take multiple walks per day.

About: I've had a lot of experience watching dogs and cats for many family members and friends. I also have experience working at an animal shelter for many months. I'm confident in my abilities to handle any kind of temperament and create a comfortable environment for every pet! When I have done drop-in visits for pet sitting, I like to do up to three visits each day. Morning, early afternoon, and evening are the times I typically try to check in. With each visit, I follow their food schedule, take dogs for potty breaks (and/or check cat litter boxes), spend a good amount of time playing with each pet, and cleaning up before leaving. At a client's home, if there isn't a yard for their dog(s) and they need time outside, I typically map out a trail for walking/potty breaks. Before taking any action, I like to ask the owner's preference on their pets' comfortability in where they walk or spend their time.
