“Marcy is a wonderful dog walker for our little guy Champ. She cares for him like if he was her own dog. He loves her too!”




2. Lindy & Seth F.


“Lindy and Seth made our first experience with Rover great! Luke had a great time, and it put our mind at ease not having to kennel him, but let him stay in his own environment. Would recommend Lindy and Seth to anyone. Thanks to both of you!”


3. Brandi N.
“Brandi has always had a love and interest in dogs. She is very caring, responsible, and hard-working. She loves taking care of dogs, and I know she would do everything she can to make your dog happy.”


4. Wendy N.
“I’m writing to recommend my cousin Wendy. She’s seriously one of the biggest animal lovers I know — she’s been around animals her whole life and lights up anytime she’s caring for them. Working with animals isn’t just something she’s interested in — it’s something she genuinely loves and has always had a natural connection to. Wendy’s super patient, hardworking, and always goes the extra mile to make sure animals feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s pets at home or helping out with friends’ animals, she’s the one everyone trusts. I know she’s really excited to find a job doing something she’s passionate about, and I’m confident she’d bring a lot of heart and dedication. I think she’d be a great fit — and any pet would be lucky to have her looking after them!”

8. Nicole L.
“Nicole has been great with our pets and her roommate’s pet. She loves animals and has volunteered at the Animal Humane Society. Nicole has had 4 dogs in her lifetime and also a cat. She is very passionate in everything she does, which is one reason why she excelled in an animal /science based degree. She is always willing to go above and beyond to make sure she understands what is required for any job she has taken. Most recently, she has been a huge help in taking care of our crazy puppy while we have been away at work. She would be a great asset to the care of your family pet!”


9. Jackie S.
“Jackie is just the best! She is my go-to dog-sitter when I have to be away from my sweet pup, Henry. She is so loving toward all animals and is an amazing dog mom to two sweet pups herself. No one is more qualified and responsible than Jackie is, and I feel at ease knowing that my dog is in trusted hands with her.”


10. Regina D.

15. Andrea R.
About: Hi my name is and I and I truly love caring for animals especially dogs. I’ve had dogs as pets my entire life as well as a cat once for 14 years. In my free time I foster dogs for a nonprofit organization. I love the outdoors and have no problem bringing your pet out in any type of weather conditions. Contact me if you want a good caretaker for your pet. I’m excited to meet you and to help with your pets needs! Thank you Every week I make sure that my German shorthaired pointer gets enough exercise by running in the backyard. I can always tell when he’s tired or needs more exercise. I always make sure that my dog has food and water, a bed to lay on, and treats and toys so he feels content. I do the same when I watch other people’s pets.


16. Kathleen V.
“Kathleen is a wonderful candidate for pet caregiving! I have watched her foster-to-adopt multiple pups, including my (now) pet dog who was in need a loving home and responsible caregiver. She is extremely attentive and loving toward the dogs and tends to all of their needs without delay. She is still our #1 pick for a pet sitter when we travel!”

18. Madelyn M.
About: I have loved animals from day one. I slept with so many stuffed animals my dad called my bedroom the animal kingdom. Which is now what I call my house. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs. I was a manager at a a pet store for a couple of years. So I have experience with creatures of all sizes. I hope you’ll trust me to care for your babies. My job is very flexible and I have the option to work remote if need be. I am usually always around on weekends unless otherwise specified. I am open to how your routine goes. I want it to be a seamless transition for your pet. I will care for them how you see fit.


19. Julia S.
About: I have always loved animals, whether it be a mouse or a horse. I also love to help people out, especially with dogs and cats. I’ve babysat one dog long-term (about 6 months), and I have been babysitting the same dog for about 2 years, since he was a 8 week old puppy. I also had a dog who passed away a few years ago, and had to take care of her in her senior years and help her get up as she had hip problems. In between dog-sitting, I did babysit dogs for a week, and usually wouldn’t mix dogs unless owners were okay with it. (these owners were from my work or teachers from my high school). I am currently attending college in Duluth. However, I do come home quite a bit Fridays-Mondays. In the summer, I will be very flexible though! I take dogs out on leashes as it makes me feel most comfortable but fenced in yards while watching the dog also makes me feel comfy as well.

“Melissa is so friendly and wonderful with pets. On walks all the dogs want to be her friend. Pets can tell she's a caring and safe person to be with when their primary humans are gone.”
