“Lynn is FANTASTIC. Lynn provided our pup with outstanding care, texted updates and photos/videos of our dog a couple times each day, and even did a couple of things around the house on her own that were a huge blessing because we didn't need to worry about taking care of those two tasks when we returned from vacation. When I first met Lynn and learned she once worked at a humane society, I knew she would take good care of our pup. Lynn obviously has a love of animals and that definitely came through in her stay with our dog. Highly recommend.”
“Lynn was AMAZING! She took care of my pups for a lengthy trip and I came home to two extremely happy puppies. She kept me updated throughout my time away, sent lots of photos, and took them on lots of walks. I booked her pretty last minute and she made sure the meet and greet process was swift and easy!”
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 and live on a 6 acre farm where the dogs can run and play all day. I’m currently between jobs but anticipate that my next work will be WFH so I can care for the dogs and other farm animals day in and day out. While the yard is not fenced per se, I do have invisible fencing if your dog is used to that system. I have 3 of my own dogs that know the boundaries and stay within them. I have a 3 bedroom house with 2 of the bedrooms unoccupied so there is plenty of space. I have crates of different sizes of your dog prefers to be crated for any length of time. One of my dogs is crated when not home the other 2 are free to roam the house and very well behaved.
“Onnika did a great job with our 3yr old great dane. Despite his size and timmidness she was able to win him over and make sure all of his needs and wants were met (cuddles attention and medications) while giving us updates throughout the weekend. He had a blast playing and going on a walk. She even picked up his mess in the front yard which we really appreciated when we came home. 10/10 well be requesting again!”
About: Newly single dad of two and one Rottweiler (they all live with mom). Looking for extra income and I’ve been a dog sitter/house sitter for over 15 years in the Twin Cities. I work full time as a church musician so my schedule is extremely flexible. My flexible working schedule can accommodate your pup’s needs. I’m used to multiple walks and feedings during the day. I love spoiling our furry friends and will give them a ton of attention. My neighborhood is near some incredible walking trails and is very quiet in terms of traffic or people being out and about. Fenced in yard. Doggos love it here.
“Bobbie was great! We were so nervous, but she sent us photos of the dogs every visit and even did extra activities with them like reading to them and an art project! One dog had some inflammation while we were gone and she was great about the sudden change of having to administer medication and give that pup extra exercise. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and they have always been a part of the family. Dogs bring out the best in people. I am a freelance photographer so my schedule is flexible. I spend a lot of time on my feet and outside. But I will always bring a pup along We have a big house and a big yard. We also live near a beautiful walking arb. There is lots of room to stay very active!
“Great communication, quick to reply, shared photos of my animals with us while we were on vacation. Kasandra went above & beyond and made our very first Rover experience amazing! Thank you, Kasandra!!!”
About: Ive take care of Dogs since i was roughly 5. Also have trained dogs since i was 6, and worked at a Kennel. My first dog i trained was trained in agility My 2nd dog, i trained as my service dog, sport dog whom competes in , AKC rally, dock diving and rally. Often times, i go to work and come home to hang out with my animals, and do things directly with them, my life revolves around there needs. I do have a unfenced yard, but all my dogs that i have are tethered and have never gotten away. All my dogs are friendly except Millie. She stays separate from any dog that enters my home and is crate rotated.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs my whole life. I’ve had pretty chill dogs, rough dogs, and dogs that run away any chance they get. I’m prepared for any dog that I can take care of. I currently don’t have another job at the moment but I might work another job pretty soon. I work out and have football practice. Other than that I’m free to take care of dogs. I feed my dogs and let them out whenever they need to be let out. If they need specific things such as to be kenneled or anything of that nature I can easily do. I can also keep company with the dogs and play with them.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience with both young and senior pets, including those with medical needs. I’ve cared for my parents’ dog after a major surgery, which involved giving medications, monitoring recovery, and making sure he stayed calm and comfortable. I’ve also watched my aunt’s senior dog and her kittens, so I understand the different care routines, energy levels, and attention each age group needs. I’m very patient, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe and loved in my care. I work full time from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., which gives me plenty of availability in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends for pet care. I’m very organized and plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s evening visits, feeding, litter box cleaning, or just spending quality time with them, I always make sure they get the attention they need. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, calm, and clean environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications they may need. I also make sure they have quiet spaces to rest and lots of attention and love throughout the day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to their normal routine to help reduce stress, keep everything tidy, and make sure the pets feel secure in their own space. I give regular updates so owners know how their pets are doing and can feel at ease while they’re away.
About: I grew up on 90 acres of land where we had 16 dogs at one point(one of our dogs had puppies)! I’ve always loved taking care of animals, but dogs especially! I am currently working from home so I have more than enough time on my hands when it comes to your animals a.k.a. your kids🤍 I have a large front yard with an avocado tree for shade where my pup loves to lounge out at! If your fury friend doesn’t get along well with other dogs I can always keep in separate areas(:
About: I've been described as a "natural" and a "dog whisperer" in shelter environments. I pursue continuous education in towards dogs knowing their might be better methodology. With my current dog we are working towards her Canine Good Citizen Title. Personally I'm working towards an independent Dog Training/Behaviorist certification which will require 200 hours of training experience of dogs that aren't mine over the next 3 years. I've always lived in a single dog home, but looking forward to when I might be able to have a multiple dog home. I'm available on weeknights for in home-training, drop-ins, or walks. I hope to enrich your dogs life by being an extension or substitute to your routine or working with you to develop one. Dog care starts with integrity. You must genuinely want a positive experience for yourself and the dog. I start by assessing their comfort level with me as a person, their general aversion to body handling, movement speed, and sensitivity to verbal interrupters or no reward markers. High rate of praise and treats are a much more efficient and effective tool than alternatives and don't jeopardize the human animal bond.

Nathan C.
“Going out of town for an extended vacation was nerve racking for us as puppy parents. Fortunately we had Nate who is a kind, empathetic and caring person who very quickly built a trusting relationship with us and more importantly our dogs. Nate is a natural at building rapport and was able to quickly win our dogs over. We have three dogs and he managed each of their special needs with ease. We also have a very high needs dog in terms of medication along with a regimented walking and feeding schedule. Nate managed this with utmost care and diligence. I would trust Nate 100% with our dogs and would highly recommend him to anyone else be it they have two or four legs.”

Issac R.
“Issac has a natural talent connecting with dogs and properly training them. I’ve seen him invest countless hours fostering and lovingly correcting dogs who need a strong and loving leader to settle into their potential. He’s also a great teacher of humans! His genuine curiosity, capacity to explain, patient presence, and acquired knowledge all make learning techniques of being a good dog parent from him easeful and a pleasure. I can’t recommend Issac enough. Four out of four paws 🐾 🐾”
