“Kennedy walked and spent some time with Gertie while I had a long weekend stretch at work. She kept me updated throughout and sent ppictures of there walks. I was great to know my dog was getting out while I couldn't be there.”


“I found myself in a bit of a jam and reached out to Hannah to walk my puppy. I was so impressed when she got back to me in just 5 minutes! It's hard to believe we had never met before she came to take Riley for a walk. Hannah was right on time, super polite, and Riley absolutely adored her. Thank you so much, Hannah, for taking the time out of your day to help us out!”


About: Ive helped friends and family take care of pets for years, big and small dogs included. When I first moved up to Alaska I helped on a sled dog yard that my grandpa and his friends owned, helping young nervous puppies find their voices and confidence. To this day they are all hard working and well behaved dogs. Ive had my own animals from dogs and cats to rodents and lizards since I was young that I've been in charge of feeding, bathing and cleaning up after. I have experience with senior dogs and giving medications, like insulin as I house and dog sat for my grandparents for long periods of times including when one of their senior dogs became sick and had to be given insulin twice a day every day for the month I was there. I've been helping pet parents on rover for almost 2 years now and have enjoyed every moment of it. The people and the animals have been so great, I can't wait to continue working with pet parents to keep their babies safe and healthy! This would be my full time job as of right now so I would have plenty of time for you and your fur babies needs. My schedule is pretty open at the moment with no big plans that would prevent me from caring for your animal! As of right now I own a sweet dog, he's kennel trained and is kenneled bedtime for his safety and comfort. Furthermore I'd follow whatever rules for your pets that you have in your home to keep your animals on a good schedule.

“Jeff and his wife are the best! They quickly gained our trust and showed how much they love dogs and this work. He gave us detailed notes of each walk and sent multiple pictures. We will definitely be using again!”


About: I have taken care of many animals in my life; dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters, geckos, bearded dragons, frogs, turtles, fish, and more. I am also very good at taking care of senior animals or animals with special attention in general as I have lots of experience with picky eaters, sensitive diets, allergies, and medication. I am also CPR certified for dogs and cats in the case of an emergency. I am a very clean individual so I will keep your home neat while also providing loving care for your pet. I care deeply for all animals and can assure that your pets needs will be put first above everything else! I understand that schedules are tricky to maneuver so I am able to work whenever I am needed as long as I don’t have another pet care gig at the same time. I am very good at matching energy with animals so I can play with them for hours or take them on long walks if they are energetic or simply sit around with them with shorter walks if they are older. I am also really good at following directions so if you have special instructions for your pet, I will follow them perfectly! Otherwise I will use my knowledge on animals to assure that your pet is happy and healthy the entire time you’re gone!

“Mara and Christian have been so kind and helpful with walking our dog and giving her some much needed enrichment when we were not able to. We would highly recommend them!”


“Aaron did a great job getting the dogs to feel comfortable with him right away. This is the first time they walked with someone other than family. He handled two very energetic dogs really well and brought them home after walks happy and tired. He was always friendly, on time and the dogs really looked forward to seeing him which tells me they were well cared for. We would highly recommend Aaron for taking care of your dogs!”


About: Hi, I’m Elizabeth — a full-time, work-from-home dog mom living in a beautiful, wooded setting with trails right outside our door. Dogs in my care enjoy fresh air, frequent walks, and a calm, loving home environment. I’m outside with the pups multiple times a day — whether it’s structured exercise, supervised playtime, or a slow sniff-and-stroll for our senior friends. We have a sweet, social 2-year-old Standard Poodle who gets along with everyone — from rambunctious puppies to mellow old souls. My husband also works from home, which means your dog will never be left alone and always has an extra set of hands. I have experience with all ages and stages — from crate training curious puppies to providing gentle support for older dogs and administering medications (oral and topical). I follow feeding and care routines to the letter, and I’m always happy to provide updates, pics, or videos so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved. Whether you’re planning a vacation or just need a reliable day-to-day helping hand, I treat every dog like one of my own — with patience, play, and a whole lot of love. I work from home full-time, so I’m with the dogs all day — not just “checking in,” but truly present. We go on multiple walks each day, explore nearby trails, and take plenty of breaks for play, snuggles, and outside time. My own dog thrives with this routine, and I love extending that same level of care to the pets I host. Whether it’s managing medications, reinforcing training, or simply being a calm, consistent presence, pet care is a natural and joyful part of my everyday life. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a calm, structured, and loving environment with plenty of time outdoors I follow your pet’s routines closely: feeding schedules, meds, crate time, and any house rules you use at home. Dogs are never left alone for more than a few hours (both my husband and I work from home), and we keep a close eye on how everyone’s adjusting — especially first-timers, puppies, or older pets who need extra support.

I am extremely caring and gentle with animals and I would love to spend my days prioritizing your best friend. I am available to dogsit your dog and/or cat any day. I work from home, I’m a homebody and I make sure the animals in my home get all my attention and activities they need :) I live in a beautiful, safe and new building in Vadnais Heights/North Oaks. I plan on walking your dog as often as needed around my neighbourhood or in our building’s fenced dog area. It is a very safe, quiet and a very clean area, with plenty of families and other dogs walking by!

About: Our family had a yellow lab for 15 years and now a golden retriever. We love dogs and enjoy playing outside and taking long walks! We are a homeschooling family and have a lot of flexibility in our days. I love to be outside and walk everyday. I’d happily love to share a walk with your pup! I have a small fenced in section of yard. We live near lots of trails so we take our dog on long walks in nature.

About: I’ve loved taking care of smaller dogs since I was little. My family and friends use me as an option to watch their best friend and I care about keeping them safe! I love playing with them and taking them on walks to see their playful and quirky side!

When I start my classes in the fall I also have to opportunity to take of them in the evening! I watch for any potential safety hazards and care for their wellbeing. I will spend time with your pet to make sure they are okay and have everything they would need to be comfortable.

My 1/4 acre lot features a large, fenced yard with plenty of room to run, and I am home almost all the time, so I can provide all the care and attention your pet needs. I look forward to meeting your furry family member! I work from home with a ton of flexibility. My schedule allows me the flexibility to give your pet all of the care they need.

The interior of my family's home features plenty of space for your pet to relax comfortably, with room for crating if your pet needs. I have experience with pets who need medication (my own takes a twice daily medication) or special care. I would love to invite you to stop by for a meet-and-greet!

About: Some things that make my pet care unique is my “pawsitivity Report” where at the end the dog goes home with a positive warming highlighting their achievements and funny moments. Plus if your doggie wants to spend the night bedtime stories read aloud because who doesn’t love a good doggie eared classic. I’m currently working a part time job and will be available every day besides Mondays, and Saturdays. I will be ready to play with your pets all day! I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to run around and play in. I have a nice sized cage for some time alone if your dog needs it. Plenty of water bowls and food bowls to their access.

The safety and happiness of every pet in my care is my top priority. I maintain clear communication with owners, offering regular updates and photos of your pet’s adventures. By understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs, I create a trusting bond. I approach every walk with care and attention, ensuring your dog feels safe, loved, and excited to get out for their daily exercise.

About: I have been around animals my whole life, around 26 years. I am familiar with their behavior, through learning in training classes and my own research online on top of the daily interaction I see through our group of dogs at work. I have volunteered at the Humane Society of Douglas County, on and off for 4 years . I have worked with all sizes of dogs as well, from Pomeranians to German Shepards. I am patient and I understand that every animal is different in their own way. I also understand that trust is very important in an area such as this and I promise to watch and care for your pets as if they were my own . Book me for your pet care today! I work from home Sunday though Wednesday . I am available Thursday - Saturday. When I am not working I am free and generally give this time to my pups if not busy with other plans. When I care for a pet I always ensure that their every need is met. That entails making sure they have access to water, food (depending on owners feeding arrangements), exercise, potty breaks love and attention.

She would be someone at the top of my list that I would trust with my dogs!
