About: My family has a lot of dogs so I’ve had experience caring for a variety of different breeds of them, all ranging in sizes/age! I love animals a lot and would love the opportunity to meet and form a connection with your pet! I currently work part-time so I have my weekdays free in the mornings/afternoons as well as pretty open availability on the weekends. I will continuously update my schedule to reflect availability! I don’t offer services in my own home but when I go to a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and will listen to any instructions you give regarding your pet and home as I am there to do my job!

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.

“Courtney was a wonderful caregiver for Buddy while we were out of town for a long weekend. Buddy had clearly been well looked after. Calm, mellow and happy when we returned! We look forward to having Courtney look after Buddy again.”

“Rachel is so kind. She not only let our pup out for a potty break but played with him, worked with him on some commands, and let him out one more time before she left. She went above and beyond my expectations.”

“Outstanding care for our 12 1/2 year old Labradoodle. Jess was so accommodating with a last minute emergency that came up. Went beyond our expectations when we saw our daily photos. If there were 6 stars I would have given them to her! Highly recommend!”

Alecia K.

“It was great that our cats adapted quickly to Maddy. By the end of our vacation, it was clear they both cats, including our anxious Bobbi, were very comfortable with her. We really enjoyed the pics to be able to see that interaction. Also, both cats were very calm and unstressed when we arrived home. Great job Maddy!!! We look forward to the next time!”

About: I understand that leaving your beloved canine companion can be difficult. To ease your mind and ensure your furry friend has a wonderful time while you're away, I offer a personalized care program tailored to their unique personality and needs. My services go beyond simple pet-sitting. I'll get to know your dog's individual habits and preferences – whether they're a spirited adventurer who thrives on long walks and energetic games at the dog park, or a more laid-back pup who enjoys leisurely strolls and quiet playtime. We'll develop a schedule that incorporates engaging activities designed to stimulate their mind and body. This might include: * **Energetic Adventures:** Long walks exploring new trails, exciting visits to dog-friendly parks, or even fun trips in the car to change their scenery. * **Playtime and Enrichment:** Engaging in stimulating play sessions with appropriate toys and games, tailored to your dog's energy level and preferences. * **Gentle Training Reinforcement:** Positive reinforcement training to maintain good manners and strengthen our bond, focusing on building confidence and trust. My approach is always gentle, patient, and positive. My goal is to keep your dog happy, engaged, and feeling secure in your absence, minimizing any feelings of separation anxiety and ensuring they have a fantastic time while you are away. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and texts so you can rest assured your furry friend is in the best of hands. flexible services. I have availability throughout June, and July, and am happy to work with your schedule to find times that suit your needs. Whether you need occasional daytime care to allow you to run errands, attend appointments, or simply take a break, I'm here to help. My services include engaging playtime, assistance with potty breaks, and of course, ensuring your little one is safe and happy in my care. I'm also available for drop-in visits, offering a convenient solution for short periods of care. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your specific requirements and to arrange a convenient time to chat about scheduling. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Just wanted to let you know that while I love all dogs, I do have some size restrictions for boarding. To make sure I have space for your furry friend, shoot me a message and we can chat about availability! For in-home care, I really believe a dog's own home is their happy place – it's all about feeling safe and secure. I'll make sure your pup has a relaxing time, but we'll also have some fun, keeping in mind what they enjoy and need.

About: I have experience within the past few years living with dogs in college and caring for them when their owners are away. These dogs ranged from large 80lb dogs, to month old puppies. I love all dogs and would love to be trusted with yours! I currently work full-time during the week, but am available in the evening hours and also on weekends. I do not work weekends so weekends are ideal for me! I am attentive, loving, and patient. Whether it’s playing, snuggling, petting, or just being company, I will be whatever your dog needs and more to fulfill their needs and make them happy!

“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.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember - from taking care of my own 2 pets for over 14 years to having a animal shelter volunteering themed birthday. I provide chill, but attentive care to your pets! I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of time all days of the week to come help out - morning, afternoon, and evening. I approach every pet with as much calm and gentleness as I possibly can. I get that your fur baby might need a little time to get used to a new person around, and will always meet them at their level!

“Leah is very kind and was open to meeting me and the dogs beforehand, which I really appreciated for ease of mind. Everything went smoothly, and my pets were taken care of. While I had hoped for daily updates, I didn’t specifically ask for them—so that’s something I’ll be sure to clarify next time. Overall, it was a positive experience and my 2nd time booking on Rover ever.”

About: With a background in biology, you must know that I am a lover of ALL animals and life! There hasn't been a moment in my life when a pet wasn't in the house. I've lived with dogs, cats, tropical fish, hedgehogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and birds! When it comes to my friends and family, I'm often the first choice for caring for their pets, as they know I'll provide the same level of love and care that they do for their companions. I have the most experience with cats and dogs, including all ages, from kittens and puppies to elderly cats and dogs. Given that I'm a teacher and it's summer time, I can be available at any time that's most convenient or necessary for you! Need me to walk the dog during a long workday? Or perhaps you need someone to check in on the cat while you're out of town for the weekend? I'm here for you! I am quick to pick up on what your pet needs. If your pet is more on the timid side, I understand to be gentle and patient with them, but if they're higher energy, I'm more than willing to play with them or take them on a long walk until they're worn out!

“Annalyse was wonderful. Very prompt and great communication. She was willing to work with us on very short notice. I am 100% confident my 3 cats were well cared for. Loved receiving pictures every time she stopped by! Thanks, Annalyse!”

Kathy S.

“Carrie was great. She changed out the battery on the garage door opener when it didn't work on her second visit. And she was clearly worried when she couldn't find our super old cat during a couple of her visits. He was fin. We'll be booking her next time we travel.”

About: I loved dogs since I was a boy. Working with animals brings me joy. Call me if you want to talk. About making a deal to take your dog for a walk, Or filling the dish or throwing the ball. No job’s too big, no job’s too small. My name is Ben and I live here in town. So hit me up because I’m always around. I work odd hours at a medical facility so I am home during the day most of the time so I am available to make stops to help with pet care. I have a large fence in yard. I also have an enclosed dog run at my house along with a large and small kennel if needed to safely house your dogs.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have two of my very own, Stormy a petite bernedoodle and Stella our cockapoo who will be around during visits. We love to walk outside and can easily do solo walks or accompanied walks with your pet. Please let me know any specific details about your pet as we are happy to accommodate. I have a pretty flexible schedule, am usually home every day and can make sure I am home the days I have your pup! I never leave my own dogs alone for more than a couple of hours. Communicate with me your needs and I will be happy to help! We have two of our own small doodles. We love to go out for walks, play, and snuggle on the couch. Let me know anything specific you would like for your pet!

About: Since I was a kid, I have loved all animals and done everything I can to make sure they feel loved! I’ve volunteered with the Golden Valley Animal Humane Society just to get more time with animals! When I got my dog Maggie, I trained her up with my family and stayed up with her all night the day we got her just to make sure she was okay and felt safe. I hope to show the same effort and love towards others’ pets! With my full time job, I am able to choose when I work so I can be pretty flexible! My dog Maggie has a pretty strict schedule due to her small tummy and needing to be fed and walked at specific times so I know how important it is to make sure dogs especially small dogs get everything they need at a good time! As I’ve stated, my hours can be pretty flexible so I’m happy to stay with your pets, play with them and make sure they have a great time while you’re away. They’ll never be lonely with me! (They might even get sick of me because I’ll give them so much love!)

About: I have experience with many breeds, temperaments, needs, and ages. I pride myself on patience and grace in all these categories. In addition to my pet care expierence I also work with those grieving the loss of a companion animal or working through the steps of preparing for euthanasia and after care. I love spending my spare time with animals of all kinds! Right now I have the most availability on weekends and evenings for walks and home stays, but soon I hope to have even more time. I have a soft spot for senior dogs or fur babies with a little more maintenance. I have a dog and a cat at home that my son and husband assist in the care of when I am caring for other families’ pets. While I have a routine and expectations of my own animals, I am very flexible and respectful of how others chose to care for their furry companions and will abide whatever instructions I am given to care for each unique pet. I am a frequent Sniff Spot user and love going on adventures but also find just as much enjoyment staying in and snuggling on the couch with a good book or movie.
