“Absolutely could not be happier or more grateful for Margarita and her family. The whole process was super easy and after the meet and greet I left feeling 100% confident that bubba would be in great hands. Then traveling back home from Sioux Falls, we get hammered by blizzard conditions. The last 20 miles before finally giving up, I could barely see the lines on the road, let alone any cars in front of me. So we pulled off and checked in to a hotel. Thankfully Margarita was SUPER understanding and reassuring. I was in a bit of a panic worrying about this and that, and the fact that Loki didn't have to be one of those worries was a huge relief. When we finally made it back the next day I could tell he wasn't super thrilled about leaving, which is always what you want to see. (And with that massive yard, I can't blame him!) Will definitely be "boarding" with her and her family again in the future! Super communicative with updates and photos to put our minds at ease.”
“Cooper enjoyed his stay at Cynthia’s place. Couldn’t have asked for a better place for our dog. Cynthia was flexible and communicated with us about Cooper during his stay. We have found a home away from home for Cooper and will book again!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of karma. When ask how my dog was doing Victoria sent pictures also I was running late and she was understanding. Karma came home happy and tried so that's how I know she had fun.”
“Dondee is AMAZING! You can tell from the second you meet her she loves animals. She sent us many pictures throughout their stay and really wants to make sure your pups feel at home. Our pups were so tried after their stay they napped almost the whole next day. We will definitely lol with her again. She is the best sitter we have found on Rover!”
“Allison and her family were amazing!!! Updates and pics were sent daily during the stay. When I picked my dog up she had the biggest smile on her face. Will definitely be rebooking!”
“We were lucky to find Ms Holly and family. She was quick to respond to messages and questions. Very kind and loving 🥰 family. Our pup was well taken care of and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed watching her. Will definitely look forward to working with them again.”
About: I have been caring for dogs for many years! Friends, family, neighbors, and in the clinic! Experience in medicating, grooming, walking, playing, and basic care! I am currently working from home with a very flexible schedule! Lots of time for walks, play time, hanging out, and so much attention and love! I have training for medical conditions. I am a very active, outdoor enjoying individual! Animal care is my passion! Safety and care are the most important!
“Drew was awesome. Communicated thoroughly and took time to send pictures of my dog. He was flexible with both drop off and pick up, which was a huge lifesaver due to change in travel plans (out of my control). I am super grateful- my dog came home clean, happy and healthy. Highly recommend!”
“We are beyond happy with Stevie’s stay. It felt like we were leaving her with family, not just boarding her at a strangers house. She was spoiled and loved on and it showed through the pictures that we got while away!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats for many years, and some farm animals. I currently have two adult cats and one young dog. We live on 5.5 acres that are fenced-ish, but the yard is certainly not escape proof. My dog Scribble loves to play, especially with new dog buddies. He never gets tired. We have loop trails through meadow and woods all year round on the homestead but will also explore all of Dodge Center with pups on leash walks. I will also try obstacle courses and other games depending on what your dog is up for. I have yet to meet a cat I could not draw out at least a little. For dogs, we will have to try a temperament test with Scribble, who always wants to play more. I can offer boarding on weekends only because I am at my day job for long days Monday through Friday. I can offer pet drop in visits or dog walks in the evening year-round as long as your dog will share a walk with Scribble. A quick cat visit is easy any evening. Your pup's weekend will involve play sessions, games, leash walks and possibly unleashed walks and play, and exploring with exercise. Until I know your dog can be trusted off-leash and we explore the full property a few times, we will do leash walks only on our loop trails (about 20 minutes casual pace to walk them all). Our field is great for playing and offers lots of space to run around. There is always plenty to sniff and explore, with a trail around a pond, and many rabbits, squirrels, birds and deer about. Scribble never gets tired of exploring, and neither will your pet, even if we stay on leash. For cats, I can set up a private spare room and time to explore chaperoned. A private room will have a human bed, cat beds, catnip mats, and at least one climbing tower. Your cat will need to be okay with my guys hissing under the door initially and Scribble coming around to say hi with his tail wagging.
About: I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care tailored to every pet’s unique needs and personality, with walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of cuddles too. I work flexible full time job, giving me the time to provide attentive pet care. I’m available for weekends, weekdays after work, evenings, and scheduled walks or drop-ins. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and rest.
“Emma was great with communication and I felt comfortable leaving Avena in her care. Clearly Avena had a great day because she’s been napping on and off since I picked her up 😂 thank you, Emma, for taking care of my girl ☺️”
“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”
“Very nice people and our dog Zeus had a wonderful time! Would definitely have him stay there again. Good communication and provided daily pictures as well without going overboard.”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and needs. Over the years, I’ve been trusted to care for pets while their owners are away, making sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of love and attention. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. I pay close attention to each dog’s normal routine and personality so they can feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing outside, cuddling on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the kind of care they’re used to. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure you feel comfortable too. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can see how your pup is doing while they’re with me! 🐾 I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for your pup! I also have a Golden Retriever of my own, so walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention are already a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give your dog plenty of attention and companionship without them being left alone for long periods of time. I’m happy to adjust to their normal feeding, walking, and potty schedule so they can feel as comfortable as possible. Having another furry friend around would be a welcome addition to our day! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. We live on just over 5 acres with plenty of space to explore and our own walking trails throughout the property, which are perfect for getting outside, going on walks, and getting some energy out! Since I already have a Golden Retriever of my own, our home is very dog-friendly and we naturally have plenty of dog toys, supplies, and space for pups to feel comfortable. Our property is not fenced, so dogs will never be allowed to roam outside unsupervised. I’m more than happy to use a secure in-ground tie-out for dogs who are comfortable with one, or keep them leashed whenever we’re outside. I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I’ll always follow your instructions and do my best to make your pup feel safe, loved, and at home while they’re in my care. Before their stay, I’d love for you to tell me a little about your pup—their personality, daily routine, favorite things, any quirks or tendencies they may have, and anything else you think I should know. The more I know about them, the better I can make their time with me feel comfortable and familiar! 🐾
“Charity was amazing! Great communication and updates for our mini dachshund. She is trustworthy and we will definitely be booking with her again. We had peace of mind knowing our girl was in such great hands!”
“Very friendly people who made my Pom feel comfortable and happy. Great to have a very accessible backyard fence to roam and play with their two dogs. Someone home all the time. Great communication and photos each day.”

“Angelina did an excellent job caring for our cats. She made sure the litter box was clean and that they were well fed. She also ensured that our one cat got her medication while we were away.”
“Lynn took care of Leo well and I felt confident that he was in good hands when I know how much he misses me. She communicated well with photos and texts to assure me he was doing okay. Lynn also fed our "outside critters" who probably didn't even realize (or care) that we were gone.”
“Felt very comfortable leaving my cats in Kyla’s care! She was communicative, sent lots of photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. I will be looking to her for future services!”
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and have experience caring for family members’ cats while they were away. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, providing playtime and companionship, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I’m happy to adapt to their needs—whether they love attention and play or prefer a calmer, quieter approach. My goal is to give both you and your cat peace of mind while you’re apart.
About: Hey there! My name is Julie and I would love to hang out with your pets! I received my vet tech degree in 2018, and have been working with animals for over 10 years.

I would love to do drop-in visits, take your dog for a walk, or stay with your pup (or kitty) while you’re on vacation!

Feel free to reach out and we can discuss anything specific! Currently in-between fish and wildlife internships (with the next one starting in February), so I have unlimited availability. My calendar/availability is up to date, so check it out! I treat all pets like they’re my own, so making sure they’re taken care of properly is paramount to me. I make sure all needs are met and that everyone is left happy.
About: Ever since I was a kid I was bring home stray cats to nursery back to health. I am still doing it back in September I found my current cat Jup outside in with a really young kitten. Unfortunately the kitten was too sick so we found it a better home equipped to take care of it need but we had to keep Jup.
“Emma was great with communication and I felt comfortable leaving Avena in her care. Clearly Avena had a great day because she’s been napping on and off since I picked her up 😂 thank you, Emma, for taking care of my girl ☺️”
About: Pheonix, my now 9 year old cat is the love of my life. I understand what a cat needs whether that be cuddles during a nap or treats during playtime! Their subtle yet obvious cues of affection is what sets cats apart from any other animal and I admire and appreciate them so much!

“Margarita has been a wonderful, flexible, accommodating, understanding, champion for me and Spike. He is having a good time there. When I get him he is always a happy puppy and I can tell he is well taken care of. He comes home and he likes to take naps afterward, poor puppy having so much fun with her dogs and her cute youn son. Nice open space for Spike to walk on leash and not worry about his safety. Definitely booking again (already have the reservations). It’s nice to know that my 11week puppy has a loving and caring place that takes care of him while I am at work.”

About: I've always loved dogs. I've spent five years working at a dog shelter as office manager, intake person which includes giving oral and injection medications, adoption coordinator, feeding and watering, cleaning, and socializing. I'm available during the week before 9am and after 1pm. Weekends are open. I work at the humane society but don't get to interact with the furry friends. I miss them! Also, I enjoy nature walks and stop as often as the dogs do to look at things. :) My schedule is flexible. When I am with dogs, it is sometimes hard to draw my attention away from them because they are so very loving and giving. I like to give that back to them.
“Lluvia has been wonderful, responds promptly to any inquiries, very knowledgeable and goes over and beyond. Highly recommend walker. I can't thank her enough for all she has done.”

I now have a growing kitten that I’ve been caring for over the last year. I’m currently a 4th grade teacher in Owatonna and am looking to add a part-time job to keep me busy on the weekends and during vacations from school. I’m very free during the week, on weekends, and after school days. I’m willing to spend as much time with pets as needed and show them human compassion. Whether it is going on walks, getting belly rubs, or receiving treats for doing their best. I believe pets should be shown with the same love they show their humans.

I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣

“Absolutely could not be happier or more grateful for Margarita and her family. The whole process was super easy and after the meet and greet I left feeling 100% confident that bubba would be in great hands. Then traveling back home from Sioux Falls, we get hammered by blizzard conditions. The last 20 miles before finally giving up, I could barely see the lines on the road, let alone any cars in front of me. So we pulled off and checked in to a hotel. Thankfully Margarita was SUPER understanding and reassuring. I was in a bit of a panic worrying about this and that, and the fact that Loki didn't have to be one of those worries was a huge relief. When we finally made it back the next day I could tell he wasn't super thrilled about leaving, which is always what you want to see. (And with that massive yard, I can't blame him!) Will definitely be "boarding" with her and her family again in the future! Super communicative with updates and photos to put our minds at ease.”
“Cooper enjoyed his stay at Cynthia’s place. Couldn’t have asked for a better place for our dog. Cynthia was flexible and communicated with us about Cooper during his stay. We have found a home away from home for Cooper and will book again!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of karma. When ask how my dog was doing Victoria sent pictures also I was running late and she was understanding. Karma came home happy and tried so that's how I know she had fun.”
“Dondee is AMAZING! You can tell from the second you meet her she loves animals. She sent us many pictures throughout their stay and really wants to make sure your pups feel at home. Our pups were so tried after their stay they napped almost the whole next day. We will definitely lol with her again. She is the best sitter we have found on Rover!”
“We were lucky to find Ms Holly and family. She was quick to respond to messages and questions. Very kind and loving 🥰 family. Our pup was well taken care of and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed watching her. Will definitely look forward to working with them again.”

“We are beyond happy with Stevie’s stay. It felt like we were leaving her with family, not just boarding her at a strangers house. She was spoiled and loved on and it showed through the pictures that we got while away!”
“I am late in getting my reviews posted. Please forgive me, Miranda and Kaeleb!! Hazel always enjoys being spoiled by you. Thanks so much for being so loving and kind!! Paula L.”
About: I have been around dogs and cats for many years, and some farm animals. I currently have two adult cats and one young dog. We live on 5.5 acres that are fenced-ish, but the yard is certainly not escape proof. My dog Scribble loves to play, especially with new dog buddies. He never gets tired. We have loop trails through meadow and woods all year round on the homestead but will also explore all of Dodge Center with pups on leash walks. I will also try obstacle courses and other games depending on what your dog is up for. I have yet to meet a cat I could not draw out at least a little. For dogs, we will have to try a temperament test with Scribble, who always wants to play more. I can offer boarding on weekends only because I am at my day job for long days Monday through Friday. I can offer pet drop in visits or dog walks in the evening year-round as long as your dog will share a walk with Scribble. A quick cat visit is easy any evening. Your pup's weekend will involve play sessions, games, leash walks and possibly unleashed walks and play, and exploring with exercise. Until I know your dog can be trusted off-leash and we explore the full property a few times, we will do leash walks only on our loop trails (about 20 minutes casual pace to walk them all). Our field is great for playing and offers lots of space to run around. There is always plenty to sniff and explore, with a trail around a pond, and many rabbits, squirrels, birds and deer about. Scribble never gets tired of exploring, and neither will your pet, even if we stay on leash. For cats, I can set up a private spare room and time to explore chaperoned. A private room will have a human bed, cat beds, catnip mats, and at least one climbing tower. Your cat will need to be okay with my guys hissing under the door initially and Scribble coming around to say hi with his tail wagging.

“Emma was great with communication and I felt comfortable leaving Avena in her care. Clearly Avena had a great day because she’s been napping on and off since I picked her up 😂 thank you, Emma, for taking care of my girl ☺️”
“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”
“Very nice people and our dog Zeus had a wonderful time! Would definitely have him stay there again. Good communication and provided daily pictures as well without going overboard.”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and needs. Over the years, I’ve been trusted to care for pets while their owners are away, making sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of love and attention. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. I pay close attention to each dog’s normal routine and personality so they can feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing outside, cuddling on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the kind of care they’re used to. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure you feel comfortable too. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can see how your pup is doing while they’re with me! 🐾 I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for your pup! I also have a Golden Retriever of my own, so walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention are already a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give your dog plenty of attention and companionship without them being left alone for long periods of time. I’m happy to adjust to their normal feeding, walking, and potty schedule so they can feel as comfortable as possible. Having another furry friend around would be a welcome addition to our day! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. We live on just over 5 acres with plenty of space to explore and our own walking trails throughout the property, which are perfect for getting outside, going on walks, and getting some energy out! Since I already have a Golden Retriever of my own, our home is very dog-friendly and we naturally have plenty of dog toys, supplies, and space for pups to feel comfortable. Our property is not fenced, so dogs will never be allowed to roam outside unsupervised. I’m more than happy to use a secure in-ground tie-out for dogs who are comfortable with one, or keep them leashed whenever we’re outside. I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I’ll always follow your instructions and do my best to make your pup feel safe, loved, and at home while they’re in my care. Before their stay, I’d love for you to tell me a little about your pup—their personality, daily routine, favorite things, any quirks or tendencies they may have, and anything else you think I should know. The more I know about them, the better I can make their time with me feel comfortable and familiar! 🐾
“Charity was amazing! Great communication and updates for our mini dachshund. She is trustworthy and we will definitely be booking with her again. We had peace of mind knowing our girl was in such great hands!”
“Tyler was quick with his communication and made me feel comfortable about leaving my 4-legged kid with him. My dog fell asleep on the 20 minute car ride home so I knew she got some good exercise.”
