“June is always super excited to be dropped off to play with Mckenzie and her dogs! Mckenzie has been wonderful with our 5 month old pup and its been so reassuring to leave June with someone who we know loves dogs as much as we do and also has the skills and knowledge on managing different ages and varying dog’s behaviors! She is very communicative and prompt with her replies and she has always been loving and patient with our dog!”
“We booked day boarding with Lydia to accommodate holiday visits with family in the Twin Cities at Christmas. Illness changed our plans but we did use Lydia for fewer days and found her responsive, happy to work with our sweet, shy beagle, and her house and yard were perfect.”
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life. In fact, when I was little, I used to tell my mom I wanted to be a dog when I grew up! 😂 My passion for dogs led me to begin fostering in 2019, and since then I've helped around 40 dogs find their forever homes. I've worked with dogs from all kinds of backgrounds, though many of my fosters have been puppy mill survivors who needed extra patience, understanding, and support as they adjusted to life in a home. I've fostered with several wonderful rescue organizations, including Underdog Rescue, MidAmerica Boston Terrier Rescue, Minneapolis Animal Control, and Coco's Heart. Through fostering, I've gained experience with dogs of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I've also fostered blind and deaf dogs. I have experience administering oral medications, eye drops and topicals. Since losing my job in February, I've decided to focus on Rover full-time. The upside for your dog is that I'm home most of the day and can provide plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention. I live in a first-floor duplex in South Minneapolis with a fully fenced yard. I share my home with two friendly dogs: a senior blind Boston Terrier and a playful 3-year-old who loves having the right playmate. Because we've welcomed so many foster dogs into our home over the years, both of my dogs are comfortable meeting new canine friends and are adaptable to different personalities and energy levels. My younger dog is a swimmer, so during the summer we love visiting the dog park at Minnehaha Falls. If your dog enjoys adventures, has reliable recall, and you'd be comfortable with it, I'd be happy to bring them along! I want visiting dogs to feel as comfortable as possible, so I try to maintain the routines they're used to at home. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, and I'm flexible when it comes to crating, sleeping arrangements, and daily routines. If your dog normally sleeps in bed with their people, they're welcome to sleep with me too. While I do take my dogs on walks several times a week, daily walks are not part of our regular routine. If your dog requires daily walks, please let me know at the time of booking so we can discuss their needs and make sure we're a good fit. I provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and having a great time. A few things to know before booking: • While I am home most of the time, there are occasional events or commitments that may keep me away for 4+ hours. I will do my best to communicate this ahead of time, but please let me know if your dog cannot be left alone for that length of time so I can confirm my schedule before accepting a booking. To ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone, my home is generally the best fit for dogs who are: • Comfortable in a relatively calm household. Very high-energy dogs can be stressful for my senior dog, who is blind. • Reasonably quiet when left alone. Normal barking at delivery drivers or unfamiliar noises is completely fine. However, because I live in a duplex with shared walls, I am unable to host dogs who bark continuously when alone or throughout the night. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and I'm always happy to answer questions to help determine if we're the right fit for each other.

About: I've cared for over 15 different dog breeds since I was 10 years old, from high energy hunting dogs to cozy lap snugglers. Friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets for years. With 8 years in animal welfare, I understand behavior and emotions, including noise fears, nervousness with new people, leash reactivity, shy/timid, resource guarding, seniors, puppies, and special needs pets. I also care for cats of all personalities independent explorers, playful toy lovers, and devoted snugglers. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, stress free home where they feel truly cared for while you're away. Each dog in my care receives personalized attention and love. For daycare and boarding, I limit to two dogs at a time to ensure quality care while they are in a new environment. When house sitting in your home, I can happily care for up to four dogs, keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. I’m happy to provide photo updates, and our home is fully prepared for play, rest, and supervision. I’m home during the day, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, and enrichment. Every pet in my care enjoys a healthy balance of play, mental stimulation, walks, and quiet time to rest and recharge. Evenings are cozy and relaxed, filled with gentle supervision and snuggles, so pets feel safe, happy, and loved from morning to night. I have a fully fenced yard with secure gate locks to keep pets safe, and I’m happy to make adjustments using leads or harnesses for curious or adventurous pups. I also maintain an up-to-date list of urgent care and emergency veterinary clinics throughout the metro area for added peace of mind. Potential clients are always welcome to schedule a video home tour to see the setup and environment their pet would be in. My home allows for kenneling if needed, and I can provide large and extra large crates. I also offer separate spaces for feeding time and am located near several nearby parks for walks. For cats, I can provide a quiet, separate space if they need time to decompress. In addition to care in my home, I also offer house sitting so pets can remain comfortable in their own environment and routines. I’m located about 15 minutes from MSP Airport, which many traveling pet parents find convenient for drop-off and pick-up. Street parking is available in the area, and rideshares to the airport are typically around $20.
“Alyson is wonderful! Our pup stayed with her while we were visiting town and I'm so so glad we found her. Alyson was super responsive and easy to communicate with and really flexible. Plus my pup was zonked out after we picked him up, so he must have played a lot and had a great time.”
“Absolutely incredible experience. Celia was easy to communicate with and sent me pics of my pup throughout the day. I would love to book again - highly recommmend”
“Aimee was great. Patient with our buddy when he was nervous and her yard/house were a good fit for our pup. Good communication. We will reach out to her for daycare again!!”
“Emilie was so good to my dog, Walter. I felt really comfortable leaving her with him for the whole day. She sent tons of pictures of him while I was at work and said he played all day -- which was perfect! I'm definitely going to be rebooking in the future. :-) Walter was pooped once we got home.”
“Karen was super friendly and took great care of Rue! She had so much fun playing with the pup that Karen watches on a regular basis. Just reached out to book again!”
About: Over 20 years experience working with people, their kids, and their pets. We have a fun home with two-work-from-home parents and our 2 year old goldendoodle (no kids). Our days with dogs are spent walking down the creek, playing the backyard, getting pup cups at the ice cream shop and snuggling on the front porch chairs. I work from home with a flexible schedule. Pups aren’t left for more than a few hours a day, if at all! My dog, Bo, is also good company. We have a casual home where dogs are part of the family. With a fenced yard and close access to trails, every dog gets lots of exercise. Our 2-year-old goldendoodle is a good friend and loves to play!
“Howie took great care of Sully. When I initially dropped him off he took the time to ask questions and get to know my dog. Sully came home pooped out from walking and playing all day. We will be booking again!”
“Michelle took great care of Maya, my sweet 3 year old pup! Maya is pretty high energy and has some anxieties, so when I picked her up after the FIRST DAY she spent with Michelle and her resident dog, I was delighted and shocked that Maya barely acknowledged me when I arrived (I normally get 500 face licks and zoomies). Michelle clearly is very experienced with a range of dogs and also has a great backyard. We will be back!”
About: My partner and I have 10+ years of pet care experience, including experience with both puppies and senior dogs. Growing up on two farms, Lex gained much knowledge when caring for animals. We have cared for dogs with dietary needs, anxiety and are comfortable administering any medications. Because we both work from home, and offer a flexible schedule for personalized care for every dog. Our dog, Juniper, is outgoing and loves new friends, and has her fair share of zoomies in our privacy fenced backyard. Morning and evening walks are standard, and so are "play breaks" throughout the day. Whether you have a high-energy doggo or a sleepy fur-baby, our schedule and environment can support both. We have a fenced in privacy fence backyard and Juniper is always excited to befriend a new buddy. We have three cats, all are dog friendly! Our home is full of cozy dog beds and toys galore. Because both my partner and I work from home, we are able to dedicate time to make your fur-baby feel safe, welcome and like one of our own.
“Great experience having Robert watch my pup - highly recommended, especially for a high-energy dog. Will definitely be coming to him in the future when I need someone to take care of her while I'm in Minneapolis.”
“Jen is an A+ dog sitter with clear knowledge of canine behavior and psychology..This, in addition to creating an enjoyable and interactive play experience for the pups she hosts on a regular basis. She knows how to group together dogs with similar play patterns and personality traits. She considers size and vulnerabilities. I trust her wholeheartedly to watch my beloved best friend! She really saved us when I was struggling with my new adoptee! I now have a well adjusted happy girl after socializing her a couple times a week in Jen’s care! She’s the best!”
“Marisa did a great job handling three-month-old Basie’s first time away from his home and family. She even took the time to do a meet-and-greet between her dog and Basie ahead of time to make sure they would get along together. She also made sure that Basie had fun and got to do some safe exploring and socializing. I would definitely feel comfortable having her look after Basie in the future.”
“Our dog, Khota, has gotten really attached to Kira but we're not surprised because she's great with him, knowledgeable and very dedicated to her work. We have the utmost confidence in leaving our little, four legged family member with her and will continue to have her watch Khota for the foreseeable future.”

Basil had a blast with McKenzie today for a few hours while her parents had an event! She was super easy to work with and communicative during the scheduling, drop off, and pick up! Basil slept the whole way home after her play time so she clearly had fun and played hard. Highly recommend!
Kira and Alejandro do such fantastic work with my shy dog Atlas. This is my third booking with them and it’s always been a positive experience. He has some separation anxiety and can be standoffish with people he doesn’t know very well or new situations, but they get him out of his shell and provide him with lots of comfort and reassurance. Kira always makes drop offs and pick ups really easy and smooth too which is a life saver with my overbooked schedule. I’m so grateful to have them as an option!
We don't typically have the privilege of visiting the same sitter twice, because we move so often. However, this was Cam and Morgan's second stay at Lydia's, and they were well cared for like the previous time. Grateful to her for keeping them on short notice while we attended a Twins game.
Karen and Ryan were fantastic caregivers for our senior dog, Kurt. Great communication before and during the visit. Beautiful home with a wonderful fenced yard. Super flexible with drop off and pick up times. Very friendly and professional. Kurt loved his three days with them. I highly recommend Karen and Ryan for your pet-sitting needs in Minneapolis.
Percy is always very excited when we arrive at Misty & Brian’s and obviously knows where he is and associates it with a good time. We are so happy we have you guys to care for our boy. We know he’s loved and cared for. Thank you both, and for being available last minute recently. We appreciate you guys.
Samantha was so kind and knowledgeable. My dog was anxious and she did a great job calming him down and making him feel at home. She was so welcoming and very professional. You can tell how much she loves dogs and is a great option if you need someone to watch your pet. I would highly recommend her.
Allison is just amazing! We felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with her. We met her and her dog before setting up a day for Flora to stay to see if she would be ok, and everything was perfect. Her dog is the sweetest, and really calm around Flora. Thank you so much Allison we really appreciate your care and look forward to continuing leaving Flora with you!
While attending an event in Minneapolis Georgia took care of our 13yr old mini Aussie for two evenings and even picked her up at our hotel lobby. She is so responsible, so kind, so punctual. Thank you, Georgia, for making our doggie logistics totally stress-free during our trip.
Alaijah was incredible!! She was willing to watch Reggie on short notice & made our first time leaving him a breeze! You could tell she truly cares for and loves on every pet she takes in :) He walked away with her & never looked back!! We will definitely bring Reggie back to Alaijah in the future!
Megan is a fantastic sitter. My pup Ollie has been staying with her once a week for several months now. She’s always friendly and communicative, and takes steps to adjust to my dogs “special needs” (ie moving a pot that scared him, and picking up his poop before he can get to it 😹). Additionally, when Ollie had a minor coughing fit she reached out to let me know about it, and sent visual evidence that he was perfectly okay. I know Ollie will always be in good hands with her!
