“Jackie is so great with my dogs! She is so friendly and reliable!”

About: I not only will walk your dog but I provide dog waste removal from your yard as well. Additional fees apply. I provide many different services I currently work an early am shift part time. I am available every day after 10:00am. I work in loss prevention so I understand the importance of taking care of property that isn’t mine as if it was. I also have three kids that absolutely love animals. Ages 13, 12, and 9. We are fully insured as well. I care in every way possible. This can be walks with shorter intervals or a normal pace. It all depends on the clients request. All dogs deserve to walk the neighborhood and sniff trees and we can make that happen.

“Jennifer was great! She took my pup on nice long walks and left excellent details about how he did!”

About: Hi! I’m based in St. Croix Falls and share my life with two rescue dogs, Frank and Bentley. I moved here from Washington State, where I built up all my current Rover reviews. It’s been a few years since then, but now that I’m in the Midwest, I’m excited to add some new ones! My Animal Experience: * Household Pets: Dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, lizards, rats, mice, and more * Farm Animals: Horses (mini to draft), cows, pigs, sheep, llamas, goats, waterfowl, and more I’ve done it all—scooped litter boxes, mucked stalls, played fetch until my arm ached, changed bandages, held my bladder so I wouldn’t disturb a purring house panther, collected mail, thrown hay and grain, watered plants, administered meds, clipped nails, and, of course, handed out a million hugs and kisses. Your fur baby will always receive the same love, care, and attention I give my own. I have tons of glowing references and can’t wait to meet (and spoil) your furry family member! I’m currently not working, so I’m available all day, seven days a week—including holidays. I’m happy to accommodate early mornings, late nights, and even last-minute requests. When I’m in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow the pet’s normal routine and schedule. This helps ease the anxiety of having someone new in their space while their parents are away. I also respect your privacy—I know how it feels to have someone go through your belongings, and I could never imagine violating that trust.

“Michael made sure to check in with us with pictures and let us know how each walk went. He was super sweet with our big pup. We have a pitbull who has a tendency to pull on the leash sometimes and if he can handle that he can probably handle your dog great as well! I could tell he really cared. I'd trust him to help us again if needed in the future!”

“From the first moment I met Elly I had no doubt in her care for my puppy dog and that she would be in very good hands. She she was prompt and communicative and sent pictures every single time! Highly highly recommend.”

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, when I was 12 I even tried to get a job at a vets office! Now that I'm old enough, I do have a part-time job as a customer service representative at a vets office as I complete my Animal Science degree on the pre-veterinary track. I have experience assisting people with basic care of their animals and through this job also know how to react calmly and quickly in emergency situations. I have spent years helping friends and family care for their dogs and am looking to help others now as well! I do triathlons as well, so am well prepared to help anyone with their high energy dogs that need long walks! I am currently a college student home for summer break and am looking for a way to fill my day while doing the things I love: being active and spending time with animals! My schedule right now is very flexible which allows me to easily work with those who have busy days and need help! I care for all pets by always going at their pace, creating a calm and comfortable environment where they feel safe and relaxed. This is something that is very important where I work and I carry this into all my interactions with animals. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior to try to understand how they're feeling and what they need. I focus on building trust, maintaining routines that they have set. My main priority is making your pet feel safe and comfortable while you are away.

About: Hey I’m Meah! Dogsitting and house sitting for three years. I love senior dogs and cats, but also enjoy energetic pups who love to play! I am a sophomore at community college so I am only gone two days a week. I love to do dog walks or drop ins, but I have also dogs at for as much as four weeks. I love to get my exercise in so walking dogs is an excellent add in for me. I have a fenced in backyard, with a front porch that is also fenced. I have two crates for dogs who need. I follow the house rules firmly when instructors are left, and will ask questions if need be.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities! I currently have two senior dogs, a playful puppy, and a sweet cat, all of whom I’ve trained and cared for myself. I grew up walking dogs in my neighborhood and pet sitting for family friends, which sparked my lifelong passion for animals. I’m experienced with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra love and patience. I’ve also cared for parrots and guinea pigs, so I’m confident with a wide variety of animals and routines. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication, or cuddles—I’ve got it covered with lots of love and attention ’m currently looking for a summer job and have lots of availability, which means I can be flexible and fully present for your pet’s needs. Since I already care for my own pets daily, including walks, playtime, feeding, and training, pet care is naturally part of my everyday routine. I love spending time with animals, and I’m excited to help other pet parents feel at ease while they’re away! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them like I would my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. I follow your routine as closely as possible so your pet feels safe and comfortable in their normal environment. Whether it’s sticking to feeding times, going on their favorite walking route, or just spending time with them so they’re not lonely, I do my best to help them feel at ease. I also make sure to be respectful of your home and leave things just as I found them. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your pet and be in your space, and I take that seriously.

About: I am super detail oriented which will come in need when it comes to sticking to their schedule. I also have been around many different types of trained animals. Anywhere from dogs who know how to use the bathroom in the weeds to no rules or training at all. I will cater to their needs! Also, if you are new you can click this link and save $20 on your first booking!!! https://www.rover.com/sit/maiahk93978 I am currently a SAHM but I have babysitters that I can utilize when a job comes up! Who doesn’t love animals?! I unfortunelty don’t get to own one due to my family having allergies which is why I would love to be apart of this service! I will follow any schedule YOU set! It’s all about their schedule and how they feel safe best! I feel as though I have a gentle demeanor which will hopefully help with the more skittish ones.

“I found myself in a bit of a jam and reached out to Hannah to walk my puppy. I was so impressed when she got back to me in just 5 minutes! It's hard to believe we had never met before she came to take Riley for a walk. Hannah was right on time, super polite, and Riley absolutely adored her. Thank you so much, Hannah, for taking the time out of your day to help us out!”

About: I've had dogs and cats all my life. I am the type to keep my dogs active whether it be playing fetch in the yard or throwing the stick in the lake for them to fetch. I believe in lots of play toys and chewys so they never get bored. I also understand the dog who might be more calm, maybe a little shy and likes time alone, and that is very understandable. I am a retired nurse and know pretty well the signs and symptoms of pain or discomfort. I understand the importance of proper nutrition and availability of fresh water. I lost my 14 yr. old lab to old age 2 years ago, and just recently got a new yellow lab puppy here in March. I really missed having a travel companion! I'm a unique pet/house sitter in that I travel in my beautiful Canadian Roadtrek Campervan and can house "watch" while taking care of your pets. I do not need to stay in your home. Any additional duties other than "watch" your house can be negotiated- like water a few houseplants, etc. I do ask that you provide a household electric (120V) outside plug in. My small RV uses approx. $2-$3 per day of electricity. I love animals. I have a yellow Labrador myself! I travel often in my RV and we make great travel partners often stopping at dog parks 2-3 times a day on our adventures. Beau would love to have playmates! I can only provide mobile pet/house sitting. I am unable to pet sit in the home I live in. I am a recently retired nurse. I am trained not only in human CPR, but I also have dog and cat CPR training. I have given pets medication, induced vomiting -per instructions while on the phone with a vet tech (after dog ate 1 1/2 lbs of bing cherries - pits and all. Happy ending! :). When I go into a home I find myself scanning countertops and floors for potential hazards for pets - things like medications, foods, hot boiling water on stovetop with handles pointing out, etc... I am constantly monitoring for potential dangers. Sometimes things happen though, unfortunately, that can't be avoided and that's when first aid, CPR, poison control line, and Vet info should all be available and handy. I ask that all instructions be written down and text/emailed to me 24 hours prior. That way if I have any questions, they can be answered before you leave on your relaxing worry-free vacation!

About: I’ve worked at multiple doggy day cares near Forest Lake MN and I have 2 dogs of my own! I love all animals and treat them like my own! I’m a college student who needs to make more money than what I’m currently making and I’m pretty available Monday through Friday depending on the times! My dogs are walked everyday and played with all the time! I understand the time it takes to care for a dog or cat and so I’m very patient with them.

“Denise is the best!”

About: We have a husky, a jindo and a chow mix. All of them rescues. Some of them had some big issues when we first got them. But I think the key to working with a dog is to be gentle and patient. I work in IT and am mostly work from home. So if I’m pet sitting, I can arrange to be around the entire day, and am able to let a dog into our fenced yard any time they want to go out I’ll be thorough in understanding your pets usual routine and any needs they may have while you’re away. Learning your and their preferences and needs will help them settle into our time together and put your mind at ease that they have everything they need while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 5 years. I have watched small to very large dogs and dogs with special accommodations needed. People have relied on me to walk, feed and give medication to dogs. I am currently a full time student at the University of Minnesota I am available most days of the week. My availability is very open this summer. I can provide a safe environment for pets in clients homes by following the schedule that the client has for their dog. Including when they need to go on walks, let out to go to the bathroom, to be feed, and when they need their medication.

“Pearl took to Heidi right away, Heidi has a way to make shy dogs comfortable right away, Pearl always looks so happy when she is on her walks with Heidi!”
