“Ben was EXCELLENT with our cat, Cleo. He kept us very informed throughout our time away and kept Cleo very happy and content. She is a pretty needy kitty - loves alot of attention and needs meds daily. Ben handled everything with ease and I knew Cleo was happy when we returned based on her attitude and the fact that she didn't show any of her telltale signs of stress (overgrooming for example). That proved to us that Ben took great care to pay attention to her and make her feel loved while her family was away. He also provided us daily pictures which were very welcome reminders that she was doing well. Would definitely recommend Ben to take care of you pets!”
“Mariah was communicated well while we were gone and was very patient with our puppy Bella. We could tell she was happy and relaxed in all of the photos despite it being her first time away from us. We arrived home to a clean and tidy home. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter and will be using her again in the future.”
“Jessica was amazing! She sent updates the entire time and made sure all our pets were well taken care of. She even left our house looking like no one had even been there!”
“Paige is truly wonderful! Great communication with me. She came extremely last minute when I needed to deal with a family emergency and graciously cared for them an extra day. I don't know what I would have done without her! Lots of pictures to reassure me that my fur babies were being well taken care of. What a blessing!!”
“Suzuko checked in on Burg while I was out of town for a few days. She gave updates daily and updated me if there were any problems. She’s super reliable and I’d definitely recommend her to others. I definitely plan to book her in the future.”
“Payton was amazing with our dogs. From daily walks to cuddles, they really enjoyed their time with her. We loved all the pics which only reaffirmed that they were in safe hands. Not only were our dogs well taken care of but so was our house while we were away. We will for sure be asking her to sit for us again.”
“It was our first time using the Rover App and Stacy was a great representative of the program! Stacy kept us up to date on our three pups and was wonderful to work with! Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for years for friends and family. I have done both pet sitting for vacations where the animal comes to my home. I have also stayed at people's homes with their multiple animals. I also do drop in care for several dogs in my neighborhood on a regular basis while I'm working remotely. I currently work full time in Minneapolis but I live in Sauk Rapids. I do dog sitting in both cities. I am a hybrid employee so I can be flexible with enough notice to plan around my schedule. I have cared for a variety of dogs who were elderly and sick with advanced dominical needs as well as a young energetic dogs. Whatever. Your pets need ,I would be willing to accommodate as long as we have discussions about it beforehand and i'm shown what to do.
About: I grew up on a farm with many farm animals along with many dogs and cats. As I got older I worked for dog a dog training company and my love for animals has grown immensely! I currently have a fish named Blueberry but would love to be out in the community to be able to help you and your family with dog or cat sitting. I am currently a college student I have classes for a couple hours a day and my weekends are free so I’m here to help. I currently like in an apartment that I can not have pets in so I can help take care of your pets in your home. I can go for walks or play with them for a while I know animals like a schedule so I’d like to make sure that your animals feel safe and happy.

About: I have 30 years of experience taking care of dogs of all breeds and all ages. I started out as a dog walker when I was a kid and would walk dogs for my neighbors and my passion for animals grew from there! Once I was old enough I volunteered at the local humane society and have continued providing care for pets ever since. I have quite a bit of experience working with reactive dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and even aggressive dogs. I have experience with house breaking and basic obedience training. I work part time from home which gives me a lot of flexibility to do what I’m most passionate about which is taking care of dogs! For dogs that stay in my home I have a fenced in back yard on a quarter acre. I absolutely love taking dogs for walks as well so they have an opportunity to take in the sights, and stop to sniff the trees.

I also pet sit for my siblings and/or friends whenever they need someone. I am currently working full time, but I am very flexible after working hours and on weekends! Monday-Friday I am available any time after 5pm, and Saturday and Sunday I am available all day! I have two super friendly dogs who love to make new friends! I can easily crate my dogs, or your dog(s), or keep them in separate rooms (depending on your preference). I have a large fenced in backyard, so there is lots of space to run around and play. I like to take my dogs on walks at least once a day, but they are let out to play in the backyard whenever they want to go out! (:
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was a child and have a friend who is a vet if I have any questions that arise that I can’t readily answer. I can safely bath and administer medication if needed. My little dog is my whole world so yours will be too. I like to be able to provide piece of mind for people needing a sitter they can trust with a member of there family. It’s as important as if they were one of your children. I can crate your dog if you bring one. I live in a very secure property and work in the area so I am always close by.

Grace W.
“Grace has been watching our dogs for almost 8 years! She is a natural caregiver and it shows in her work as a dogsitter. She goes above and beyond each and every time. As our dog Doug ages, it is more difficult for him to make trips with us and he requires a little more TLC. Grace is incredibly dependable, organized, and thoughtful. She makes sure all his needs are met- and then some. She truly loves caring for him and his company! Our family highly recommends Grace and we are so thankful she is in our life.”
