Dog Sitting in Oak Park Heights

“Awesome as always. She was highly communicative and our dog loves her. If you need a Rover you can trust then Lyndsy is the person you should call.”

About: I have lived with cats since I was 14 years old and have looked after cats and dogs independently since I was 16. I am comfortable with administering medications from my time working at Grand Avenue Veterinary Clinic. I work about 12 hours a week spread over two days at a museum and attend graduate school online. This makes me very flexible to meet your pets needs! As I will be in your and your pets home, making sure everyone is comfortable with me in the space! My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away! If you have any specific concerns about going on walks or interacting with other humans and pets please let me know so I can abide by what works best for your family. I have been trained on how to pill animals who are nervous about medication to ensure that your pet recieves their medication and remains safe and supported in the process. If you should ask me to take care of your home I make sure to grab the mail daily and follow the motto of leave it better than you found it! I want to have you to come home to a clean house.

“Jenny is an exceptional pet sitter who went above and beyond in caring for my cat, Louie. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals was evident from the moment she started. She sent updates with photos of Louie, showing him looking happy and content. Not only did Jenny follow Louie's feeding schedule meticulously, but she also spent quality time playing with him and giving him the attention he needs. She noticed his favorite spots around the house and made sure to give him scratches and pets just where he likes them. What impressed me most was her conscientiousness. She kept the litter box impeccably clean and even noticed when Louie was being a bit shy and knew exactly how to coax him out with his favorite toys. She left detailed notes about his daily activities, eating habits, and general mood. I returned home to find a happy, well-cared-for cat who clearly had been given lots of love and attention. Jenny's professional yet caring approach gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitter. She's truly a gem!”

About: I have grown up caring for both dogs and cats. And would love the opportunity to help take care of part of your family. Please let me know if you have any specific suggestions to help best take care of your fur baby. I am a stay at home mom that is very experienced in multi tasking and juggling a big load when needed. I believe that animals deserve all the love, care, and respect. I am happy to fallow any personal instruction you have to your pet. I believe that your pet is part of the family. They deserve all the love and attention. I would love to take your pet out on walks, play time, and belly rubs.

About: Leaving your four legged loved ones at home when you go on vacation is never easy. I strive to make sure they feel cared for and loved while you are away so you don't need to worry! I have over 18 years experience caring for animals of my own, rescue fosters, and shelter animals, and caring for others' pets while they are away. I am a lifelong animal lover with experience with cats, dogs, and small animals like ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, chickens, and more. I have cats and dogs of my own currently. Whether you are looking for a dog walker, a drop-in pet sitter, or a comfortable place to board your four-legged (or more or less) family members, I can be of service to you. I live in a single family home with a fully fenced in backyard, and a separate dedicated nicely sized bedroom dedicate to boarding. Whether I'm housing your pets or visiting your home, my goal is always to make them as comfortable and as happy as possible! I am currently working part-time from home. I am available for boarding, walking, and drop-ins, on a relatively flexible schedule. I am also offering sitter pick-ups and drop-offs as a boarding add-on. My style of pet care is catering to their needs and your desires. I have experience with shy, rowdy, low-energy, and other types of personalities. Each pet and each situation requires a unique approach.

“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Makayla was absolutely wonderful—super sweet and thorough when she came to meet our cat and go over all of the instructions. While we were away, she checked in every day with thoughtful notes and the cutest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought in some packages that were delivered, which was such a nice extra touch. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we’ll definitely be booking her again. We’re already planning to have her help with dog walking, too. Highly recommend!”

About: We just lost our beloved Pitbull of 10 years in December. While not ready to own a new dog, I would love to be around them! I’m very active and would love to take your dog for a nice long walk and give them all the pets and snuggles needed! I’m currently a stay at home mom and have a lot of time during the day to hang with your pet! I am typically home all day. We live on 5 acres but do not have a fence. Our dog was trained to stay in the yard. We have a long tie out for dogs if they do not stay in the yard.

About: I have had at least two pets in my household my entire life so I am very comfortable around them and I love taking care of them! I currently work part time at Ulta Beauty so my schedule does change weekly. However, I am generally open in the mornings and later in the evenings and have on average 2-3 days off a week. I am also enrolled in an online Master’s Degree program that will start in August but I am able to work on that around my work schedule! Safe and enjoyable walks are provided, creating a positive and trusting experience for dogs and you, their owner! Safety is prioritized by using appropriate equipment like secure harnesses and sturdy leashes, remaining aware of surroundings, and avoiding potential dangers such as traffic or unleashed animals. Building trust happens through clear communication and respectful interactions. Comfort and well-being are prioritized on every walk, adapting to your pets individual needs and pace. Environmental responsibility is also a priority, with waste picked up and disposed of properly, contributing to a clean and enjoyable experience for everyone!

“Mandy was excellent with my two kitties! They were well fed, well brushed, and well taken care of the whole time we were away for the holiday! I loved the daily pictures of Mandy having play time with the kitties. Would most definitely hire her again.”

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and abilities through volunteering and pet sitting. While I’ve only formally trained my own dogs, I’ve gained plenty of real-world knowledge by working with everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a gentler touch. I'm patient, reliable, and genuinely passionate about making pets feel loved, safe, and happy while their humans are away. Whether it's a long walk, some playtime, or just quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs—because every animal deserves to feel at home, even when they’re not! I work full time but fully remote from my home office so I am available for morning, lunch, or after work walks or feeds when you are rushing to get to work or travel. I typically do not care for pets in my own home as my dog is picky about which dogs are around and I don't want to put anyone at risk. I am happy to come to you!

About: I have grown up with house cats and dogs and absolutely adore animals! You can count on me to ensure that your pet is safe and well taken care of. I currently have two dogs - a pug and a golden retriever. My schedule is fairly flexible. I will work to ensure that the schedule and needs of your pet are met so they are happy and comfortable. I will work closely with you and your instructions to make sure your pet is properly and safely cared for and also comfortable with me.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember. My mom currently has six dogs so to say our house was a quiet one would be a major understatement. I absolutely love fur animals and would honestly love to have my own; however my boyfriend and I travel a lot and know it wouldn’t be fair. I definitely have the most experience with dogs but can watch other pets as well. I love running and going for walks and just being outside. I really like bringing dogs running with me because they keep me company. I can’t wait to meet your little fur baby! I work full time but I work remote. So I can easily come over and take your dog for walks during the day or at night. I can also easily watch them overnight. I do travel a lot so sometimes weekends are hard but I plan out my schedule months in advance so I’ll likely know right away if I’m busy or not. My boyfriend also works every third weekend so I’m generally home then and would love to have your pet as my companion. In my home i do not allow the dogs on the couch, unfortunately. Otherwise, I’d say everything else is fine. I take them out for walks (usually a mile or two) twice a day and a run/walk during lunch. I love helping them get exercise! As far as discipline goes, it really depends on what the owner recommends as it is not my animal so I would never overstep anything.

About: Hi there! I am an avid animal lover with 17 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities, breeds, ages, and energy levels. I have had 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own, 12 foster dogs (not at the same time!) and have cared for many animals through Rover. I offer drop-in and dog walk services in the Hudson/Stillwater area. I work remote and have plenty of flexibility and availability to help fill in when you want a little help caring for your fur family. No upcharges for holidays either! Whether in your home, in your yard, or out and about, the safety of you pet, and their needs are top priority. I have engaged in a variety of dog training courses with my own dog so have no problem maintaining the rules you have in place for you animal/s.

About: I've always grown up with having dogs in my home and currently at my parents house have two rescue dogs. I've watched dogs and cats from friends, family, and neighbors for many years now. I currently work full-time Monday through Wednesday working in a cardiology clinic, and am fully available Thursday through Sunday when I do not work in the office. My apartment has its own fenced in dog park that is often empty or not busy. I love to take dogs on walks or just spend time outside playing with them.

About: My love for animals started as a child. I grew up on an organic dairy farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin where I raised and cared for our farm animals. Over the years, our friends have asked us to watch their pets at our house to which we enthusiastically agreed. We've had a variety of animals in our care from dogs to bunnies. We absolutely adore animals and truly love the opportunity to care for them in our home. We are a homeschool family and are home quite a bit most days. There are occasional activities that our kids are involved in and errands that require us to step away but other than that we are home. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for animals to explore. Our neighborhood is full of friendly dogs out for walks. We have a spacious downstairs. We are a homeschool family and are often home during the day to snuggle and care for you sweet fur babe(s). Jon also works from home twice a week! We have a fenced in yard which is a huge plus for the dogs that visit. We can let them out easily for bathroom breaks and provide them plenty of exercise. My kids love to throw the ball for dogs that like to play fetch. We also have a great neighborhood for dog walking.

About: Hi there, I’m bekah! I grew up in the county and am never afraid of getting dirty. I love being active, spending time in the outdoors and being surrounded by loving animals! My family used to have horses, goats, cats, and dogs. Our beautiful Australian Shepard, named Ginger, recently passed. She is missed dearly. I also have experience dog sitting two big lab mixes as well as house sitting. I love a good running buddy but am also always down for some doggie snuggles! I hope to make your pets feel comfortable, happy and healthy while you are away! Keeping things tidy and organized is a must for me. I take the responsibility of dog and/or house sitting very seriously. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have! Currently, I work from home; and it’s a flexible job (graphic design!) I love to be outside after work and all that is missing is a pet in my life. I will care for your pet to the best of my ability. I would treat them as if they were my own. I will listen/watch to see what their needs are, take them out for exercise and bathroom breaks. I will feed them on time, and of course, I would love to play and snuggle with them.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and some fishy friends as well. I’ve only done drop in visits for four-legged friends, but would love to take care of more! I also have a lot of experience with taking care of small aquarium fish (ex. vacuuming their tank, changing their filter, etc). as well! I currently am working a part time job, and my shifts vary weekly. I’m always available after 6:30 P.M. on weekdays and almost always available all day on weekends. While I’m currently only offering drop in visits, making sure your companion is safe and comfortable with me is most important. I make sure to always thoroughly watch over your friends and watch their body language.

“Patricia did a great job with Hank - he’s quite discerning about his visitors and warmed to them which says a lot! I would rehire Patricia in a minute- you’d be lucky to book them.”

“Martha has been absolutely wonderful with drop-in visits for our <1 year old puppy. She, and occasionally her dog Charlie, have been great playmates with our pup. We trust her with our home and pup and have been super happy to do many repeat bookings with her!”

“Heavin was awesome to work with when I had to go to the hospital to have my baby and she came and took care of our dog on short notice, keeping him calm while we worked to bring home our new family member! ♥️”
