“Christy did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. It was the first visit and everything went very smoothy. I feel so fortunate to have found such a kind and caring person to look after my dog.”


“Pamela was fantastic with our two cats! She was always timely in her drop-ins, gave comprehensive updates, and kept our cats happy and entertained. We highly recommend her for anyone else looking for a sitter!”


“Heather took great care of our kitties while we were gone for the weekend. Very communicative, friendly and took on our booking somewhat last minute. We really appreciate your great care. We will request to book with her again. Thank you!!”


“Anne always does such a wonderful job checking in on our cat, Piper. Anne is professional, friendly, and great with communication. She’s provides excellent service and is such a reliable person. We love her.”


“Anna was the most thoughtful, caring, and attentive sitter! She gave detailed, thorough updates of each visit and prioritized my dog's wishes when it came to walks, playtime, bellyrubs, etc. I look forward to booking Anna again!”


“Carolina has provided me the best experience I’ve ever had on Rover! She is incredibly considerate and thorough. She brought her own treats and a towel to wipe my dogs wet feet after the rain. My dog seems to love her already and I will absolutely request her services again!”



“I'm so happy that Erika took care of my kitty Verona. When Erika came to meet with me, I could tell right away that she would be a responsible and caring friend to Rona. She sent photos and texts on about half of her visits, which was a treat and reassured my anxious cat-mom soul. The truest test for me is how my kitty behaves when I get home--she was friendly and happy to see me, which tells me that Erika did a great job.”


About: I’ve had animals all my life, currently have 2 yr old lab mix that keeps me on my toes! We both enjoy being outside or at the park! Currently working from home full time, plenty of extra time and energy for more animals in life. My hours are from 7-5 Monday through Friday. Yard and smaller house in north Minneapolis, available for short term in home boarding. Walking and in home drop in’s would need to outside these hours!

About: A former teacher and current husky owner providing loving, reliable care. Detail-oriented, active, and passionate about treating your pet like family—with structure, exercise, and affection. Pet care fits around my full-time job—I’m available after work on weekdays and fully open on weekends to give your pet the care they deserve. I take my husky on daily walks and make sure she gets plenty of outdoor time—whether we’re playing games, exploring, or just chillin in the fresh air. I’d love to provide the same service for you too.

“Emmerson did a great job with my big Belgian Malinois puppy who can be a lot to handle! He was very tidy and consistently sent updates and was always available to talk to.”


“Anders is fantastic!! I have a disabled, senior dog with a degenerative disease and I was really worried about finding someone with the right experience to check up on him during the day while I’m at work, and Anders has been perfect. He’s very professional, understanding, and clearly compassionate about pets. My dog has a lot of special needs since he’s unable to support himself with his hind legs now, including diapers and needing to be cleaned up between changing to avoid UTIs, and Anders has been great about meeting those needs. It’s a huge relief to me knowing my dog is well looked after while I’m away. There was a tornado warning in the city today and I was really worried about my pets, but luckily it aligned with Anders’ check in and he made sure to message me about moving my dog to the basement for me. Otherwise, I would’ve been freaking out with worry all day. Thanks so much for your help, Anders!”


“Bec took such incredible care of our cat Gabe! It is always sad leaving a pet home alone while you travel but her updates and level of care made it so much easier to enjoy ourselves!”


“Shannon has been so good to our doggies, 6 years old and 4 months old. She kept us updated with how they did and included pictures with each visit. She was responsible about resetting the security system each time she left. She’s thoughtful and pays attention to detail. We’d definitely recommend her!”

About: I've spent my whole life around animals, whether that be with dogs, casts, chickens, rodents, or fish. I've taken care of animals with feeding specifications and non-violent behavioral issues, so I'm confident that I can take care of your pets without issue as long as clearly worded instructions are provided. I'm currently working part time where I'm on call for a local business overnight a few nights per week, and every other weekend. My schedule may change from time to time, but I'll be sure to update you as soon as I know something has changed! I'm happy to take care of your pets however you need me to! If you just want me to check in on them, I'm happy to do that, but I'm looking for more fun ways to exercise, so I'm happy to take your pets on walks or play with them outside too! I love cuddling animals, and am happy with however you and your pet want to be treated.

About: Hey there! I've loved taking care of animals since I was a teenager, and I always enjoy having extra fur friends around. Since I work from home, I can give your pups plenty of attention and take them out for bathroom breaks throughout the day. Most days, I take the dogs for a walk at least once or twice, depending on the weather. On weekends, my girl, Lenny, and I love hitting up the nearby dog park to let off some steam and play with other neighborhood pups. I’m excited to provide a safe and cozy home for your furry family members while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to chat! As a full-time remote worker, I’m home throughout the day and have lots of time to check in, play, and give plenty of attention to your pups. Weekends are a mix of fun and relaxation—I love spending time at home with the dogs, and I also enjoy trips to the dog park or running errands for a few hours before returning to relax with them again. I live in a cozy single-family home with my sweet girl, Lenny, an 8-year-old dachshund mix. Our backyard is fully fenced with a sturdy, recently built wooden fence, giving pups a safe space to run, play, and take bathroom breaks. While Lenny enjoys roaming freely when I’m away, I’m happy to adjust to whatever setup makes you and your pup most comfortable. I also have built-in dog gates on hand, perfect for managing those moments when things get a little extra playful! Additionally, I’m experienced with administering medications and providing any special care your pup may need during their stay.

“Emily did an awesome job with drop-ins for our puppy Tango! All instructions were followed and it looked like Tango had a great time. I appreciated all the notes and photos. Emily was very nice and I would definitely book her again!”


About: Due to my emotional tenderness and playful spirit, I’ve always been able to build an instant connection with dogs of every age, size, and breed. I’ve helped care for the dogs of neighbors and family for many years and have had a dog of my own, Charlotte, for 4.5 years and my girlfriend and I recently adopted a sweetheart rescue named Sasha. I work in the Minneapolis Public Schools so while it is Summer I have a very open schedule. Once I return to work in late August, care I can provide is limited to evenings and weekends. I begin all relationships with dogs by trying to establish an emotional connection and getting to know them well, making sure in the moment that I am grounded, breathing deeply, and interacting from my fullest self. I also make sure that I am following the client’s best wishes, and care instructions since they know their pet best.


“Sarah did a great job with Annie and Scooby! She was on time, provided them with everything they needed during the visit, and gave great feedback on how the visit went. Will not hesitate to trust her with them again in the future!”
