Dog Sitting in Prior Lake

About: Hi, I’m Dana! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I’ve cared for paralyzed dogs, senior cats, and pets that require medication and extra patience, so I understand how important trust, safety, and consistency are when it comes to your furry family members. I treat every pet like they’re my own — with love, attention, patience, and dependable care. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a quick drop-in visit while you’re away, or overnight companionship and care, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy the entire time. Pet care will be my full-time focus for the next 3–4 months before I head to college, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to keeping you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in great hands. I also have previous pet-sitting experience with repeat families who trusted me to care for their pets while they traveled, and I can provide references upon request. My previous experience as a pet sitter has provided me with references from past families who attest to my exceptional care and dedication in providing the best possible care for their animals during their absences.

“Destiny was absolutely wonderful taking care of our babies! She went out of her way to make sure they were happy and healthy. Highly recommend her and we will be choosing destiny again for our pet watching needs! :)”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life I raised 8 puppies in my home when my dog gave birth and it was the best experience of my life. I love and take care of dogs like they are my children and make sure they get the best care. I am also taking care of my own dog who is 14 years old. I am in school part time as I have the rest of the day to take care of peoples animals. I also enjoy going on daily walks outside which is perfect when needing to take dogs on walks and take care of them. I live in a neighborhood with a lot of trails that I can take dogs walks on and I have a screened in porch that they can go outside and lay down for some sun bathing. I will feed them on there daily schedule and make sure I follow the clients certain instructions for there dog as I want to make sure they can trust me with there baby, and that I won’t mess up there daily schedule. I will also respect people privacy when I enter their home and only follow what they tell me to do.

About: I’ve owned a cat for four years and volunteered for several years at a dog shelter, working with litters of puppies, their moms, and anxious dogs. I grew up loving going to farms to interact with the variety of animals and horseback riding. This is the job I am taking up while preparing to go back to school and I intend to provide quality care to the animals I meet. I will make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and ask beforehand about any routines or preferences. I am proactive and ask clarifying questions if needed.

About: I absolutely love dogs, they are God's most loyal, friendly and trustworthy creation. I've had a dog for several years and that helped me discover my love for them! I currently work from home so I assure you that I can take care of your furry friend! I am very flexible and can be available on weekends if given a couple day advance notice. I have a finished basement so your pup can have a great play time in winter. No fenced yard but a decent spaced backyard. I will also take them on regular walks so they can stay healthy,lot of play and cuddling time so they feel loved and of course some music, TV and downtime and their good behavior will be rewarded with hugs and treats :)

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. From our neighbors cat who we invited to our birthday parties as kids, to the 3 precious dogs I’ve had the honor of being a mama to. Nash (weimer) left us in 2019 at 12 years old. We just said goodbye to Oliver (Puggle) in August of 2025 at 17 years old! And we currently still get to love on Riggins, our 10 year old Frenchie. With Nash and Oliver living such long lives, I have experience caring for all ages, from puppies to seniors. I work from home full time as a sales executive, so my flexible schedule allows me to step away as needed for care. I am also an early riser, so I am available to breakfast feed an walk early. My dogs are my babies, so I know the importance of having someone to rely on. If you need me to drop in and/or feed or give medicine, potty break/walk etc. at a specific time, I understand how important it is to not be late. If they need something at 3:30, it will be 3:30, not 3:45.

About: I've had rescue dogs for the past 20 years. I've worked with dog fostering and volunteering. I have a Great Pyrenees who is living the good life. I work with positive behavior reinforcement and use patience and empathy toward all animals. I am a teacher, so I have time mostly in the summer and on weekends! I'm available for boarding and can help where needed during the week as well. I am a dog dad of a wonderful older Great Pyrenees. I am finishing my fenced in yard this summer. I enjoy walking dogs for exercise and enrichment. I am supportive and communicative, all while maintaining calm for your pet while you're away.

About: I've taken care of a variety of advanced reptiles since I was twelve, and have experience walking dogs for the better part of three years. I currently work with two senior dogs (lab and golden retriever), and assist with: daily walking, brushing, and feeding. I have a part-time job, but I'm more than happy to spend my afternoons helping with anything pup-related! With proper notice, I have exceptional availability for a variety of tasks! I believe the compassion, respect, and structure are the cardinal rules of pet care, and strive to demonstrate those with each and every client. My ultimate goal is to do what's right for the animals in my care, including fostering a good relationship with the human guardians of my clients.

“We absolutely adore Stephanie & our kitties feel so special when she comes over to check on them. You can tell that she truly cares for our fur babies!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had dogs and all kinds of small animals since I was very young, and I genuinely can’t imagine life without them. When I’m not spending time with my own pets, I’m usually caring for someone else’s—whether that’s pet sitting for friends and family or working my full-time job caring for horses. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, and I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own. After all, I’m here to be your pet’s professional best friend! I’m available every day from 9:00am-8:00pm for drop-ins and walkings. I may be available earlier or later on weekdays and possibly on weekends depending on my schedule. I’m able to feed/water your pet, let them out into a fenced backyard, play with them inside or outside the house, provide minimal grooming, administer medications, and take them on a walk. I also may be able to stop by multiple times a day depending on the time.

About: As a dog owner of two and lifelong animal lover, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and am familiar with everything from puppy energy to senior dog needs. I enjoy staying active outside and making sure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of affection — including great puppy cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority. I work from home and can work from anywhere so I have almost unlimited flexibility and can’t wait to meet and get to know your oets! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets’ schedules as consistent as possible with regular feeding times, walks, play, and plenty of affection. I know how important familiarity is, so I work to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I treat every pet like one of my own and understand the trust it takes to have someone care for them in your home. I’m respectful of your space, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

About: I work from home full time and have the capability and desire to have a cuddly fur baby around, snuggles, walks and lots of love a must. I like watching 1 dog at a time but if they are from the same family, please feel free to reach out if there are 2. I am able to be flexible. Since I work from home full time I am available to watch your fur baby during the day, night, boarding and on weekends if needed I would take them on walks when I could during the day, snuggles, some play time and rest when needed. Plenty of food and water, no fenced in back yard.

About: I will love and care for your pet with the same attention as you would! I’m a dedicated dog lover and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes (from teacup yorkies to labradors). My family had black labs while I was growing up - and since then, I’ve loved caring for others. I’m happy to partake in their favorite activities - whether a dog park, a walk around the neighborhood, or swimming! Because I own my own business working from home, I have the flexibility needed to provide your dog the care and attention they deserve. They won’t be unattended. Your furry friend will get SO MUCH attention from me. I’ll care for them as if they were my own! I’m incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I love having the opportunity to care for animals with Rover! Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to shoot me a message. I currently own my own business working from home, so I’m able to provide care and attention at all times of the day. I love midday walks and would love to take your furry friend with me! I would prefer dog sitting in the dog’s own environment (i.e., the dog owner’s home). I feel as if this reduces the dog’s stress being in an environment with which they’re most comfortable (and happy!). I’m more than happy to spend mornings, afternoons, or evenings looking after your pet. I am incredibly reliable and trustworthy. Your dog would not be left unattended, so you can ensure their safety. I understand it can be difficult leaving your fur babies with strangers, but I’m here to make it as easy for you as possible.

About: Hi! I’m new to rover but not to pet sitting! My name is Kayla, I’m 18, and I have been around animals all my life. I have two dogs of my own, a 3 yo pug and a 12 yo lab mix, so I am well experienced with all different energy levels. I have plenty of experience pet sitting in my neighborhood, with dogs and cats. I even kept an Australian Bearded Dragon in my room for a summer! Additionally, I manage a Instagram account for my Pug, Skola. As a Highschool student, I will have to check on pets before/after school and in the evenings. I will be able to do daytime care on weekends. I fully intend to follow any and all instructions given by the client as I know every dog has its own unique way of going about things. I plan to check on pets as often as possible, and provide them with plenty of care and attention. My visits to your house to check on your pet will not just be brief water bowl checks and outside time, but more so spending time with your pet and giving them the love they deserve.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and needs. I grew up in a family that always had dogs, and caring for them has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Today, I share my home with two wonderful dogs—a Cocker Spaniel and a Bulldog—who keep life fun, active, and full of love. Over the years, I've gained experience raising two puppies of different breeds, giving me a strong understanding of puppy care, training consistency, socialization, and the patience that young dogs need as they grow and learn. I've also cared for senior dogs, including administering medications and accommodating age-related mobility and health needs. In addition, I have experience working with special-needs and disabled dogs, and I understand the importance of providing compassionate, individualized care tailored to each dog's unique situation. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I'll make sure they receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, secure, and loved—just like they do with you. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing the same level of care I would want for my own pets! I am currently not working a set schedule so I have plenty of time for all of your pet care needs! I can do house sitting, dog walking and drop ins on any day of the week. When I stay in someone’s home to care for their pet, I will treat it with the upmost respect, leaving it better than I found it. I am clean, respectful and responsible.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was very young, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep love for them. I’ve had the privilege of working with both puppies and older dogs, gaining invaluable experience in understanding their unique needs and personalities. I am very open. Mondays - Fridays all day. Also open on the weekends. A few weekends I will be out of town in Iowa. I will adapt to whatever your pet needs, creating a safe and welcoming environment whether that is my house or yours. Helping love your pets

“Anika was great! She braved the snow to come and meet my Great Dane the evening prior to her drop-in visits. She was not at all intimidated by my 150 lb dog's thorough assessment of her upon her arrival. Her follow through and communication were terrific. I returned home to a happy, healthy, safe pet and could enjoy my time away without concern. I highly recommend Anika!”
