“Lynne takes excellent care of our dog Jax. I know he is getting lots of attention and fun walks during his stay. We are very grateful for her making our time away from him stress- and worry-free. Thanks Lynne!”

“Erica and Ciara did a great job taking care of my Cardigan Corgi for a couple days. He doesn't spend a lot of time around other dogs and recently was attacked while walking, so I was initially worried about how he would do with their dogs, but theirs are well trained and he fit into the pack quite easily, it seems. They understood his caution, given what he had been through, and they undertook appropriate precautions when exposing him to their dogs and others. In general, it seemed like a good experience for everyone and he made a couple more dog friends! I will definitely be a return (and repeat) customer.”

“Loved working with Taylor. She updated us daily, was very detailed, and she even went and got our pup a ball to play with. Hands down would recommend her to watch your furry friends.”

“Erica did a wonderful job taking care of Lily. I received updates, questions, pictures, videos, and texts about cute & funny things she did. I could tell Erica was caring towards Lily and enjoyed being with her. I will definitely call on her again”

“My dog Lily loves going to Cindy’s. She’s treated like part of the family. I’ve used Cindy for boarding many times and I’m always happy with her care!”

“Alicia took my dog on very short notice when my other dog sitter had something come up. She treated Jax like her own and he was well cared for!”

“Cali is great! She is great at communicating and gives the babies a lot of love! Kanethe is a nervous/grumpy old boy but Cali made him feel so safe and comfortable!”

“Osito had a blast with Sheryl and her son. She has a big yard and my big dog loved it. She sent us videos of them playing outside which he loved. I wanted more vids and pics, but she stayed in touch enough that I didn’t ever worry. I will rebook for our next trip!”

“Destiny and I have been friends since we were about nine. Showing cattle and horses together seemed to take up the most of our time! When we both ended up moving to the same area after high school it was very nice to know that we had each other to help with chores and stuff at each other’s houses. Destiny is wonderful with my funny farm full of any animal you could think of! She’s kind, efficient, smart, and always sends the best pictures of my babies!”

About: I have always been an avid animal-lover. From childhood into adulthood, I have owned and cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds & fish. My family & I currently share our home with two dogs, a bearded dragon, a Russian tortoise, & a ball python. I have several years of professional work experience in animal care (zoo, kennel care, walking, basic grooming) and wildlife / parks & recreation—both of which are relevant. I enjoy the outdoors and keeping all of our furry (& scaly) friends happy. I will board dogs, small mammals, reptiles & birds in my home! Upon request, I can do drop-in visits for cats or exotic animals within a 15 mile radius. I am currently a stay-at-home mom & so my schedule allows me to be at home majority of the time. If I need to leave the house, it’s never for more than a couple of hours. I have a large four-story home, which provides amble space for pets to play or to be separated if need be. I utilize crates for dogs who need or prefer it. Our yard is unfenced, so I use slip leads and tie-out cables for potty time.

“Thank you for taking great care of Stella.”

“Kristina was incredible! This was our first time using Rover and leaving our pup with someone new. Kristina went above and beyond to ensure our guy was in good hands! She was super flexible and give us consistent updates throughout our dog’s stay, including pictures and videos! We will absolutely use Kristina again if we ever need to go out of town without our dog.”

“Heather was great with Polaris! Polaris/Popo enjoyed his stay and playing with Heathers dogs! Nice big yard with a kiddie pool to cool of in on a hot day. Would not hesitate to leave Popo with Heather in the future.”

“Megan took great care of my dog and even taught her how to (finally) use the stairs! ? Fantastic sitter!”

“Angela did a fantastic job with my high energy 2 yr old lab/border collie mix dog. He is more accustomed to his kennel run out in the country but Angela put in the effort to help him adapt and flourish in her house in town with her other 2 pups. She also sent us photo updates throughout our time away which was a nice touch.”

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life. I have walked, fed, bathed, and entertained dogs for as long as I can remember! I have worked with dogs of all ages and many different breeds, small or large! I am currently working full time, but I already walk in the morning and would love to have a furry friend to walk with. I mainly walk around lake Winona but I am willing to walk wherever you request. I offer three services through river, these include: walking, check ins, and boarding. I have recently moved into a large home with a yard great for pets. I live in outside of down on a dead end street with little traffic. I can assure you that yours pets will be treated with respect and love 🤍😃

About: My cousins love bringing home dogs and puppies and I’ve always taken care of them. I love to cuddle, and they are always so fluffy! I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups, in the morning before 2pm! I’m also available on the weekends at anytime! If you need me after 2pm I can try to squeeze you in! I have a safe and relaxed environment at home. Your dog will have my attention 24/7. I live near a park where dogs love being walked!

“Michael has always taken care of our dogs before Rover came to be. He never received money from us because he enjoyed being around our dogs so much. Our dogs always would wait to see him in the morning and evening when he would come to walk our dogs. Michael always had a caring, responsible, love for our dogs, and I know our dogs knew it too. Sadly, our dogs have past, but when we run into Michael he always brings up so many loving memories of them.”

“Haley was so great with our high energy puppy. She sent lots of pictures for my personal ease of mind! I picked up a very tired and happy lab; I wasn't even sure he was going to come back home with me!! I plan to use Haley in the future for any need! Highly recommend!!”

About: I have taken care of many different types of animals from dogs and cats to even farm animals since before I can even remember! Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to care for their animals while on vacation, or even just when they have a long day at work! I’m a local pre school and work everyday with Tuesdays and my weekends off! Depending on location I am able to stop back over on my breaks! I love being outside and spending time with animals such as going for walks or even just sitting outside enjoying the sunshine! I have no problem following any special requests that may be needed for you and your pets!
