“Sharon agreed to sit for my dogs on short notice after the other sitter canceled on me. She agreed to take on my dog who is in the process of dying and might have died while I was away (she didn't). I really appreciated that. My dogs were healthy and happy upon my return. My house was exactly as I had left it when I came back. She even washed the sheets she had used! There were no issues everything was great. I would definitely use Sharon again.”
“Sharron took such amazing care of our pup and was super communicative and flexible with us! She sent great pictures and updates and our dog seemed to love her! We absolutely recommend Sharron!”
“Samantha was terrific with my quirky dog. She learned his vibes and personality quickly and worked well with him. She kept me informed, cleaned up after herself, and I would absolutely hire her again.”
“Paige was easy to communicate with and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He is high anxiety and she did great with him and he was in great spirits when I got home.”
“Excellent communication and lots of pics and videos. I definitely felt that my dog and cat were safe and well taken care of. Will 100% use again.”
“We have 3 dogs, 45 lbs, 70 lbs and 85 lbs, all older and all either labs or lab mixes. 2 of the three require medications with their meals. We went out of town for a weekend and Laura stayed in our house with our dogs. She sent us periodic updates on how they were doing, sent a few pictures of them being cute, fed them the correct food and medicines and took care of the house for us. We were very happy with the job she did and hope that she will continue to be available so that we can hire her again in the future!”
“Liv was a great dog sitter! Even with a little hiccup that was out of everyone’s control, they were focused on caring for our animal and left the house cleaner than when they got here! I hope to use Liv again for future dog-sitting gigs.”
“my dog was very relaxed when I got home, which is exactly how I always hope to find him after I’ve been away. Summer took care of his medication needs and made him comfortable as expected.”
About: I've recently moved to the Twin Cities and I'm excited to start petsitting in the area! I have been petsitting for 10+ years, as well as working as a Veterinary Technician Assistant. I also have a lot of special-needs and senior care experience, so if you have a pet that needs a little bit of extra love I might be the perfect fit! I know your pet is a member of your family, and it would be my pleasure to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, so I'm available weekdays and almost all weekends. I can come check on your pets during the day or stay over at your house during the night if you are gone for longer. Unfortunately I am unable to board pets where I currently live. However, over the years I have stayed with many pets in their own homes. I prefer this to boarding anyways because your pet(s) will be more comfy and I will be able to help them maintain more of their usual routine.
“I had a great first experience with Penny! She was on time, sent updates and photos, left my home the way she found it, and seemed happy to spend time with my pups. Will definitely have her back.”
“Breanca was phenomenal! My sweet lil (almost) 2 year old doggy IMMEDIATELY liked her (and she is definitely not a fan of just anyone) during Meet n Greet, which gave my partner and I a thumb's up to keep on track using Rover to find someone to watch our dog (and house) for 2 weeks while we traveled internationally. It's a little scary trusting a stranger with your dearest belongings and fur-babies, but we still wanted to go that route vs boarding bc we didn't know how Winnie would do in a strange place (let alone with other dogs/animals). Breanca has a lot of 5-star reviews (for good reason, we can see now) and that offered a lot of peace of mind while overseas. Any last minute flakiness would have been extremely inconvenient and expensive, so I was crossing my fingers the whole time that Breanca wouldn't drop the ball. And she never did! She took INCREDIBLE care of Winnie...exercising her, giving her many snuggles, lots of playtime, all the basic needs met. Winnie (our dog) even whined, looking out the window, this morning; I'm guessing bc she misses Breanca! One thing I super appreciated (and needed, when I missed my doggy!) that she quite regularly texted photos/videos of Winter and her so I could see she's doing just fine...better than fine! She was happy and playing and I could tell she was getting the utmost care. There's a reason Breanca is, like, #1 in the Minneapolis/St Paul metro area! (Or that's how she shows up on my search) Walking into the house, returning from our vacation, we were STUNNED! Breanca left the place spotless! Everything was cleaned, she'd washed the washable rugs, floors were vacuumed and mopped, bathroom and kitchen were WAY better than how it was before she stayed here. Obviously we're going to be generous in tipping. (Side note on the money talk, Breanca, you can definitely raise your rates! at least 50% more but probably closer to 100% more....) Anyone lucky enough to see Breanca with open availability when you're needing pet care, I would HIGHLY recommend you reach out and start a dialogue with her and get that ball rolling. I was not one bit disappointed and I know we will be asking her in the future if she wants to watch Winter (aka Winnie) again! I know Winter will be SO HAPPY to play with her new friend again!! :) Thank you so much, Breanca! You have been our saving grace and I'm glad we found you!! Thank you so much for taking such SUPERB care of our precious fur-child. :)”
“Kari took very good care of our pets and sent many much appreciated messages and pictures. Lots of walks and loving attention. We will definitely use her again in the future!!”
“Emily was great! She took extra time to acclimate my anxious pup who’s afraid of new people, and went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable throughout. I would absolutely recommend her going forward!”
“Dylan was great! I was going on vacation for a week, and I was really worried about being able to find someone who I would be comfortable enough with to stay at my home and watch my dog. I have a crazy, energetic one year old husky/Doberman mix. Dylan was perfect for the job. He worked with me ahead of my trip to ensure that my dog’s home life would stay as normal as possible while I was gone, and he kept me updated daily with how it was going. It was such a relief to be able to go on vacation without worrying about my dog or my home. Would definitely use him again, and recommend him to anyone who needs a sitter or a dog walker!”
“Madison is a jewel! Very flexible with times, conscientious, considerate, and ultimately was superb caring for my dog, ZsaZsa. I was able to go away for a few days knowing ZsaZsa was home with a person who cares as much as I do about her well being and appreciates her cuddling. 🐾 Thank you Madison!”
“Lacie is a great house and dog sitter! She is flexible and communicative with me, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I recommend her and would hire her again.”
About: I have had dogs (golden retrievers) all my life, I have experience with puppies, seniors and everything in between. I love all kinds of dogs, especially active ones as I love to get outside and go for walks! I am a recent college graduate currently studying to be a certified public accountant with an incredibly flexible schedule! Studying is my full time job, so I am free to pause to go on walks and spend long periods of time with the pets whenever needed! I am very attentive to pets needs, making sure they are eating, drinking, and going outside as much as needed. I am very active and love going outside, so I am happy to get your pet as much exercise as they want!
“Morgana was very good with my dog Honey! She was very good about communication and sending pictures. I will definitely be having her back to watch Honey.”
