Sasha was wonderful. We booked for 4 days/3 nights, and had Sasha stay in our house to watch our two dogs. We have traditionally used dog camps/boarding for vacations, and we were hesitant to try Rover. Sasha eased our concerns, and was in constant contact with us, sending us pictures and updates about the dogs throughout the day. Sasha tended to the dogs needs, giving them plenty of treats and cuddles. Sasha was also respectful of our house, ensuring any dishware and pots that were used, were returned cleaned, as well as took the trash / recycling out. Based on all the lovely photos we got, it's clear that our dogs loved having Sasha spend the days and nights with them. Would highly recommend Sasha and will likely book again for future vacations.

About: I’m not your average sitter—I go the extra paw! With a heart as big as a Saint Bernard and attention to detail sharper than a Border Collie’s focus, I treat every pet like my own furry family. 🐶 Whether your pup needs a brisk walk or a belly rub break, I tailor each visit to their paw-sonality. 🐱 I’m the purr-fect match for cats too—playful, patient, and totally tuned into their moods. 🏠 I’m a clean, respectful house guest who keeps things tidy and tails wagging. 💊 Got a senior pet or one with meds? No prob-llama! I’m experienced and calm under pressure. 📸 And yes, you’ll get plenty of photo pupdates and meow-ments while you’re away! After 10 years of hospitality management, I’m taking a career break with full & open availability to help you! I’ve had my German Shepard Chow Chow (Artie) for almost 3 years. Cats are no longer in my circle, but I’ve had up to 3 at one time! Looking forward to meeting you & helping care for your fur baby/babies. I won't be able to bring pets into my home because of my dog. However, in another person's home I'll be sure to listen to their instruction and try to best meet the needs of their pet.

Katrina is a true animal lover who was great with my hyper 45-lb hound mix Sage. She's been on a couple of walks and one overnight housesit. I trust her to keep Sage (an unpredictable bolter when spotting squirrels) safe on the leash and reliabily show up for each walk, even accommodating last minute schedule changes. Katrina took good care of my house while we were gone and even picked up some bone shards that could have been a choking hazard. To top it all off, I got a selfie of Katrina & Sage snuggling in bed. Sage will be looking forward to her new caretaker's return soon.

Marli is our preferred cat sitter, and we continue to be repeat customers. It’s easy to see that Marli genuinely loves cats and enjoys spending time taking care of my two girls. She sends numerous photos at every feeding, which we looked forward to receiving. She did house sitting with my two girls for 8 days. Everything ran smoothly like usual. Duchess and Maya can’t wait until the next time we go on a trip so that they can spend more time with Marli.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every size (small, medium, large) and household cats! Love to teach (or at least try to teach) your pups new tricks when you're away. I work at U of M Hospital, so I will have time to hang out with your animals most days of the week (mornings, evenings, nights) and weekends! Safety is my top priority when it comes to caring for your animals. Depending on the animal, I'll work with the owner to make sure we have a safety plan in place.

About: With 12 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from energetic border collies and bloodhounds to sweet senior shih tzus. I’m confident with everything from high-energy working dogs to laid-back lap dogs, and I adapt easily to each pup’s unique needs. I’ve cared for diabetics, picky eaters, injured furry friends, and even a quadriplegic pup who needed a walking cart and hand-feeding. I always prioritize safety, structure, and affection. Whether your dog needs medication, a good brushing, or just someone to keep them off the couch, I’ve got it covered—and I’ll keep you updated with happy photo check-ins while you’re away! I’m currently starting my own meal prep business, which gives me a very flexible schedule. That means I’m available for morning, mid-day, or evening visits—and I can adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a daily walk, feeding time, or just some company and play, I’m happy to be there when your pet needs me most. I’m currently not available weekends, but this could be subject to change in the future. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I always follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, potty routines, or house rules like keeping pets off furniture. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and anything that could affect your pet’s safety. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space, giving them the attention and routine they’re used to. I also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart ever since I was young! I don’t just care for animals, I understand them! Every wag, glance, and every little moment tells a story, and I listen. The care I give them is more than just routine, it’s a bond built on trust and patience and love! Right now I’m a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule that naturally includes plenty of time for pet care! My day is a blend of family time and playful moments with animals from morning walks to afternoon play sessions! In any home, in every moment, I offer more than care! I offer understanding. Whether it's a playful pup needing adventure, a senior pet seeking quiet comfort, or an anxious soul looking for reassurance, I listen. I create a space where pets feel safe, seen, and loved, whether in my home or theirs. My care is built on trust, patience, and the deep, unspoken bond I share with the animals in my life!

About: I have had a dog for around 5 years and whenever my parents go on vacation I am the sole caretaker for him. I just make sure to follow the schedule he is used to and take him on his walks often. During the summer time between May and June 2025 I have a lot of availability. Starting in July I have a 9-5 job but would happily come and take care of pets in the evenings! With my dog I generally just play around with him and will give a-lot of love and snuggles when we are just sitting together or playing together. With my cat I used to try and get as much enrichment in just to keep him entertained. I also loved snuggling with him as well. I have taken care of a cat that belongs to a family I babysit for and just made sure he was fed on his schedule, play with him and give him a lot of cuddles.

About: I absolutely love animals of all kinds. I’ve had a variety of pets since I was a child, from baby chicks, to bunnies, hamsters, dogs, you name it. It started from watching and taking care of my own pets, to pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors. It then became a job that I love to do. I am currently working a part-time job during the week, where I have the flexibility to work from home, and I am free on weekends, which gives me the opportunity to cater to your pets needs. My goal is to create a comfortable, stress-free environment for your pets, so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s extra playtime, mental stimulation, or providing a quiet space for older pets to rest, we tailor our services to meet the unique needs of your furry family members.

About: Hello! My name is Andy, some personal qualities include affection, patience, and the ability to connect with any dog (some cats). As well as these qualities, I was raised in a family to be empathetic towards all animals, not just dogs, and to respect the ways an owner raises his or her own pets. Actually my old dog Watson, who passed away, recieved the first designated car over my brother and I! Big, small, young, old, skittish or friendly dogs to me or other pets, deserve a great amount of attention and affection as a good boye (gurle) will always recieve this under my care. Dog walks to dog parks, or hikes are all part of my repetoire in taking the best care of your loved one. I am currently working part-time and have a very flexible schedule, allowing for extended periods of time if needed to help take care of your fur baby! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, consistent, and loving environment. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and any medication needs. I treat your space with respect and leave everything clean and tidy. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I make sure your pet gets quality time, exercise, and attention, not just the basics. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll enjoy a cozy, safe space with lots of affection, enrichment, and supervision. I genuinely enjoy bonding with each animal and making them feel happy and secure while you're away.

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

So happy to recommend Ahab as a pet caregiver! I have a dog and a cat. My dog (Oreo) can be pretty energetic and has some anxiety, but Ahab has managed to comfort her both when she's very hyper and very anxious. Oreo loves going on walks or playing chase with him. My cat (Garfield) usually keeps to himself around new people or people he's not super comfortable with. But, he LOVES hanging out with Ahab because he's so calm and sweet with Garfield. I 100% feel safe leaving my pets with him because he's very responsible and calm and 100% recommend him as a pet sitter!

Heth is a very reasonable and reliable person she takes my baby on walks while I’m at work all the time. Since heth has started to walk him he’s been so much calmer and not destroying my house 😫. Anyone with a pitty knows they go crazy if they don’t get there walks. I’m so thankful for her truly a blessing.

Ramla is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She’s very attentive and gentle with my cat and dog. She’s also very punctual and communicative. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter.

Molly took such good care of our pups and our house as well. They were happy and relaxed when we got back and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing the dogs were being taken care of. Thanks Molly!

I can’t recommend Gisele highly enough! She was recommended to me by a colleague of mine. Gisele took care of my pitbull with so much love and attention while I was away on business. Mel instantly warmed up to her, which says a lot since she can be shy around new people. Gisele kept me updated with daily photos and notes, so I always felt reassured knowing my best friend was in great hands. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for Mel was the best feeling. Thank you, Gisele, for going above and beyond!

Our family has had several rescue dogs over the years, each with their own unique personalities and needs. Andy has always shown a natural empathy and affection for animals, and he has consistently demonstrated patience and understanding in his interactions with them. He takes the time to get to know each dog's temperament and responds to their individual needs with care and thoughtfulness. Andy has often been the primary caregiver and dog walker in our household, especially when we've been away. He handles responsibilities with maturity and attention, making sure the dogs feel safe, exercised, and well cared for. His awareness of his surroundings while walking dogs is excellent, and he always prioritizes their safety and comfort. Growing up in a home full of animals, including dogs with various temperaments and other small pets, Andy developed a strong connection with animals early on. He is truly a natural with dogs and has a calm, grounded presence that animals respond well to. I highly recommend him for any dog walking or pet care role—he’s reliable, kind, and has a genuine love for animals.

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.
