“Caitlin was easy to communicate with, very welcoming and was flexible with my dog’s needs. My dog came home tired and happy. She sent photos and updates. Her own dogs are very nice, friendly and easy going. Definitely recommend Caitlin!”
“Kajae and Emily were excellent hosts for Murphy! Emily sent lots of photos and communication to keep me in the loop with how Murphy was doing during her stay, and she returned home a very happy pup! Will definitely be booking future stays with Kajae and Emily!”
“Sara was wonderful host! She has a great indoor setup for caring for multiple guests, and a lovely property. Our pup Kota was well cared for during her 4-day stay. We got photos and video of her while we were away, which is always comforting. I would highly recommend Sara; we will be booking with her again for Kota’s next stay!”
“Mikaela was wonderful hosting our pup. She was excellent at coordinating drop off and pick up. I really appreciate the pictures and updates she sent to us. Our dog was always excited to go back over and they welcomed him warmly into their home.”
“Hartley and Pretty Girl had a wonderful stay! Jessica and her family were very accommodating. They helped our anxious pup adapt to being away while letting our social pup play with the other dogs in the home. We will definitely be back!”
“Sydney did a great job with our shy rescue dog. She sent us pics of his walks (and his chilling time) to let us know that she was okay. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, and she is just a really nice young woman as well!”
“Thomas and his family welcomed our pup into their home. This was a total blessing for our fur baby to play with their dog and be around other people. Id definitely recommend Thomas if your in the area!”
“I’m very new to this pet sitting thing but I think overall it seemed to go okay. I needed to board her due to a move. Skye is busy checking out the new place. I would use her again for sure.”
About: My love for animals goes well back to when I was 4 or 5 and I was in charge of letting our neighbors dog out while they were on vk. (my mom was really there ;)) I always loved the 2 cats we had I'm sure but my love started growing for all animals when I took on that letting the neighbors pets out. Through highschool I volunteered when I could at the animal shelter a couple cities over and dreamed about owning my own training and boarding facility when I graduated. Well life pushed me into college and a career and 10 plus years later here I am with a degree I don't want a career in.... I'm going back to my dreams and would love for your dogs to be a part of the start of it! I have 3 fur babies of my own a cat and two dogs! All three rescues and loving life! Any questions feel free to reach out! Cant wait to meet everyone! I currently work Monday through Friday 8 to 5 as an intake coordinator for a hospital from home. My love is animals so all my spare time goes to fostering and volunteering for ruffstart along with taking care of others furbabies. All pets deserve lots of love but discipline when needed. I believe in positive reinforcement but some pups need a little more guidance and a shorter leash than others.. I plan on following owners directions and requests but offer guidance if wanted or needed. If all you want me to do is let your fur babies out and spoil them rotten I would absolutely love doing that! For boarding and doggy daycare I have an older resident dog so we can only take laid back submissive dogs for now. We do habe the capability to separate if she needs a break. We have a big Shepard mix that loves to play with everyone at only 3 years old!
“They sent us multiple pictures every day. The first picture was sent less than an hour after we dropped them off. We really appreciated all the communication!”
“Sadie, a yellow Labrador husky dog, got to spend some quality time with people and came back happy and content, & slept as soundly as I have ever seen. Crystal (the dog-sitter) said Sadie did well with the children and left the infants alone, so that went well. I was grateful Crystal allowed the dog to interact with the kids and even come into the house. I wasn't quite sure whether Sadie would behave. She did grab items off shelves, a habit I am trying to bring under control, but the dog interacted normally with the people in the house and that went very well. I was very grateful to have found a good home where Sadie felt comfortable staying. The dog-boarding went even better than I had expected! I really appreciate Crystal's kind and caring attitude toward the dog-boarding and will definitely look her up for Sadie the next time I need to find Sadie a place to stay.”
“Christina was great at communicating while I was out of town. I received a lot of pictures while I was away which gave me piece of mind that my dogs were doing well. She had the dogs outside all the time and they got lots of walks.”
“We are so happy with the great care Amanda gave our Bella. We felt our vacation was better because Bella was getting such great care. Photo updates helped us to relax and know she was doing well. We will definitely have Amanda take care of her again!”
“Natalie watched our 2 goldens and they had an absolute blast. They were easily entertained by the land and kiddos. We were sent ample pictures and videos throughout the entire week and would love to use Natalie again next time we’re out of town!!”
“Lucy had a good time with Amy, Gregory and their family. She got along with the family's other pets and they enjoyed her and sent lots of pictures and updates. I am very comfortable with their care for Lucy and have scheduled again with them.”
“Our Rusty stayed with Jon and Jessica and their family for three nights. We received photos and updates each day of his stay. He went for walks, played ball in the backyard and had fun with their kids. Jon and Jessica were very responsive in all our correspondence. Rusty was clean and happy when we picked him up. Would feel very comfortable having him stay with Jon, Jessica and family again!”

“Heather was great!!!! She contacted me with problems and sent pictures. She took amazing care of our kitties while we were away. She made a stressful weekend away for us a little easier. We will definitely book her again!!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I grew up on a large animal farm where we had bison for 20 years. I went to college at msu Mankato for animal science. In 2016 I started working at a boarding kennel and ever since I have found my life passion of working with dogs and cats. I have 4 dogs of my own on a hobby farm. I have two springer spaniels, my rescue dog that is a chow pit bull, and recently got a golden retriever puppy. I have also been grooming dogs professionally since 2018. I know how to do anal glands, haircuts, nail trimming and buffing, ear cleaning, meds, baths, basically the whole works! I am currently available pretty much everyday for drop ins, walks, feeding, meds, and to give love to your fur babies! Even last minute I’m available I offer drop in at your house, I can do over nights if needed, I also can pets to appointments if needed. I do have experience with aggressive dogs as well. I have a fully enclosed 7 foot tall fenced in yard as well
“Danielle has watched my cat twice now and has done a great job :) She took the time to come meet her and let me show her around ahead of time which was appreciated. She sends multiple photos and I can tell my cat is so happy to see her. Thanks Danielle!!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Growing up with dogs, I quickly became in tune with their needs and can form a bond quickly! I go above and beyond to make every dog I meet feel loved and welcomed. I grew up with cats, dogs, and horses. I’m currently home with my little boy for the summer so my availability is virtually wide open! I’ll be able to provide walks, pets, and so much more. I have an outdoor kennel with a nice house in it if needed. Otherwise, I can provide a crate inside in a calm environment. My 2 dogs are around to play with your dog as well! If you’re worried about my dogs and your dog getting along, I can separate them-no problem.
About: I have cared and loved many animals. I grew up on and around farms so I have worked with horses, cows, wolves, cats, dogs, ducks, and chickens. I have had a Great Dane that I had rescued from an abusive home. I am currently working full time M-F 7am to 530pm. I can work evenings and weekends. Soon I would like to work with animals full time instead of at my current job. My desire is to work the hours that pet owners need me when I start to build clientele. When I get enough clients my hopes are to extend to the business hours and do that full time. I do not want to quit my full time hours until I am able to help enough pets and their owners. I would love to care for pets by being able to take them outside of their homes for play by themselves or to a dog park. I would love for the pets to be able to be in the environment that works best for them. Some dogs do great in public with other dog or cat friends, while others may not enjoy that much stimulation. I would like to get to know the animal to find out the best fit for them. I would also like the pet parents to let me know what they feel is best for their fur baby. The enjoyment of the pets life is what I want to focus on so they can have the best care. I feel I would like to talk with the animal owner to see what environment works best for their animal.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a 4 year old Black Lab named Bear, and before him I had Coco, a Black Lab/Golden Retriever mix who was part of my family for 7 wonderful years (adopted at 8 and had her until the Rainbow Bridge). Caring for dogs through every stage of life has given me experience with everything from energetic young dogs to senior pets with changing needs. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and neighbors while they’ve been away on vacation, providing dependable care, exercise, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and well cared for when you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to help give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with good company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m already used to planning my day around walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and giving my own dog the attention he needs, so adding another furry friend is something I truly enjoy. Because I’m home for most of the day, pets won’t be left alone for long periods and can receive plenty of attention, companionship, and bathroom breaks. I also enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor time are a regular part of my routine. Whether your pet needs lots of play or prefers a quieter, relaxed environment, I’m happy to match their routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a friendly 4-year-old Black Lab, Bear, who has a gentle temperament and no history of aggression. He enjoys meeting other dogs and has always done well with them, but I’ll always prioritize slow, safe introductions based on each dog’s comfort level. I also have two children who have grown up around animals and understand that pets deserve respect, space, and gentle interactions. They know not to disturb dogs while they’re eating, sleeping, or if they want time to themselves. Any interactions with your pet will always be supervised. I believe every pet is unique, so I’ll follow your instructions closely to help maintain their normal routine and make them feel safe and at home. I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own.

“Thomas took great care of our pup. He was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. Our schedule was unpredictable, so we appreciated how flexible he was when we adjusted times. Simone clearly had a fun day, cause she conked out when we got home. Would definitely recommend!”

We hope to bring Riley back soon so he can start thinking of her and the other dogs as a great play date and extended community of loving care!”

About: Avid animal lovers, both fur and feathered alike! We are a family of four humans- mom and three children, with several outdoor feathered friends. We are an active household that enjoys many days outside, but also equally loves cuddling up on the couch for a movie night. At night, your pet is welcome to sleep wherever they find it most comfortable. We have had personal pet ownership experience with blindness, deafness, and separation anxiety in dogs. In addition to our own pets, we have also opened our home to foster dogs for several years, specializing and dog reactive dogs, as well as hospice/end of life care. My career consists of over a decade of hospital-based pharmacy experience, and I am now fortunate to currently work from home. With my career and volunteer dog hospice foster experience, I am comfortable and knowledgeable in administering any oral, subcutaneous, and IM medications. - We provide care to one outside family at a time to ensure a stress-free experience for everyone. I do allow exemptions for multifamily households. - Your pet will have an adult with them for at least 20/24 hours per day. Most updates are sent with morning breakfast, midafternoon rest, and before bedtime. You are also encouraged and welcome to reach out anytime outside of that. - If your pet does require a crate at any point, please ensure one accompanies them to drop off. We are a home-based boarding experience and do not have commercial kennel runs. - If your pet has been excused/banned from a commercial boarding facility, I do require a no-cost meet and greet for introductions before confirming the booking. It is my priority to ensure your pet feels safe, and I am confident in their needs before confirming commitment. - Privately insured for household companionship pets, which covers both care during boarding and any agreed-upon transportation. Keywords: home-based, medical needs, special needs, reactive, medication administration. I am generally available to accept same-day bookings as someone who works from home. At this time, my employer allows me to set my own hours, meaning I can easily adapt to your pet's schedule and any medical needs. Bathroom breaks are averaged at every two hours and anytime outside of this at your pup's request. If your pet prefers to spend afternoons in the sun, then that is where I am happy to work that day! Any pets boarded in our home can expect to have a human home a minimum of 20 out of the 24 hours in a day. We welcome your pets to rest and sleep wherever they are most comfortable- couch, pet bed, human bed, etc. If you request or your pet requires kenneling at any time, please ensure a kennel accompanies them to drop off. Our home is carpet-free (stress-free!), and we understand accidents happen. Please inform me if your pet is working on potty training, and we can reduce the number of rooms initially accessible. Our acreage is unfenced, and dogs have access to the backyard of the property. If your dog is not off-leash trained, we provide a pulley tie-out to allow them a greater range of access. If you are most comfortable with leash walking, that is also just fine with us!

About: I’ve been around animals all my life. I have three goldendoodles, Sullie who’s 10, Allie who’s 5, and Marlie who’s 2. I have helped potty train them all and have taught them basic tricks.

I have two medium family dogs and they are very important, special members of the family. I treat every single pet with care and respect.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have hosted over 30 foster dogs for our local Humane Society. Some of our foster mamas have even given birth to their puppies at our home. I currently have a wonderful golden retriever, Mya, who is always happy to meet new friends. Mya and I enjoy hiking, camping, and spending as much time outside as possible. I have a horse (not on the property) and have had a variety of pets over the years including rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, chickens and sheep. I have a passion for animals and take pride in providing them with the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I am currently home full-time so your pet will never be left alone overnight or for long periods of time. Frequent potty breaks, walks and playtime are always readily available. Please note: Monday-Thursday drop off & pick up must be scheduled between 5:30-7:30pm. Friday-Sunday pick up & drop off times are flexible. I have a large indoor play area so they can burn off energy no matter the weather. My Golden, Mya, makes an excellent welcoming comity and she is always thrilled to meet new friends. I can easily crate your pet if needed. We are located on a quiet street with a culdesac, perfect for safe walks. We have 2 acres for your babies to play. If pet parents are comfortable with field trips, our guests are welcome to join us for walks at local parks. Guaranteed they will go home happy and tired!
About: I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. My love for animals started when I was young, walking dogs for neighbors and friends, and it quickly grew into a lifelong passion. As I got older, I volunteered at my local humane society and have continued providing trusted pet care for pets ever since. I have extensive experience working with dogs of all temperaments, including reactive dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who may show aggressive behaviors. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment for every dog in my care. In addition, I have experience with housebreaking as well as basic obedience training, and I’m happy to help reinforce routines and good habits during your pet’s stay. I have experience with house breaking and basic obedience training. I work part time from home which gives me a lot of flexibility to do what I’m most passionate about which is taking care of animals!
About: I have been surrounded by dogs almost my entire life. I love the unconditional love they give. I enjoy spending time outside but also can relax inside. Whatever suits your dog best. I’ve dealt with crazy hyper dogs (like my own) and also the dogs that rather relax alone. Each holds a special place in my heart. I work full time currently 9 hour days Monday-Thursday and a 4 hours day Friday mornings! If your dogs are comfortable being home longer during the day I am more than happy to hangout in the evenings! Fridays midday-Sunday evenings is when I am most available to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve! I love to be outside so keeping an eye on any dog while letting them outside will not be an issue. I can leash them if preferred. The dog will be in the comfort on their own house!!
About: I strive to provide the care and professionalism that I need and expect to be provided to my own pets. Dogs are wonderful creatures that deserve proper love and attention integrated into their family life. I have experience with successful training of my own dog's basic obedience skills (sit, stay, heel, eat, touch, shake, etc). Have taken care of many other dogs, reptiles, and fish for people in my life. I am especially interested in helping reactive dogs or dogs with behavioral issues. I work freelance so I set my own schedule for the most part. Completely flexible for clients needs. A few weeks of the year I'm booked for longer gigs but that is easily identifiable up front for potential clients. Care for clients is completely dependent on their needs and comforts. I will always defer to the client for what is needed for them and their environment. Open and honest communication is the foundation for care and comfortability.
About: I bring two years of vet tech schooling and a genuine love for dogs and cats, offering safe, attentive, knowledgeable care that keeps every pet relaxed and happy. I'm currently working part time so I have lots of free time to care for your furry loved ones. My availability is pretty flexible for the summer :) I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who is friendly and crate trained. I’m attentive to noise, stimulation, and comfort, especially for pets who may be anxious in new environments.
About: *Note I go by Danny, but Rachel is my legal name. And then my partner Morgan sometimes helps me out on my visits. About me: I have taken care of cats all my life, and when it comes to dogs I've babysat more than I can count. I love them all. I can handle gentle types. Even loud ones. Let me know if they need special commands or to be talked to. I love to talk personally with the animals and just be with them. :) This is my primary job for now, so I would be available whenever YOU want. I also love and have my 3 lovely cats on a daily basis. We could sit and watch TV at home, or maybe learn something new? I like to grow with the animal. I also love to spoil them. :)
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I grew up on a large animal farm where we had bison for 20 years. I went to college at msu Mankato for animal science. In 2016 I started working at a boarding kennel and ever since I have found my life passion of working with dogs and cats. I have 4 dogs of my own on a hobby farm. I have two springer spaniels, my rescue dog that is a chow pit bull, and recently got a golden retriever puppy. I have also been grooming dogs professionally since 2018. I know how to do anal glands, haircuts, nail trimming and buffing, ear cleaning, meds, baths, basically the whole works! I am currently available pretty much everyday for drop ins, walks, feeding, meds, and to give love to your fur babies! Even last minute I’m available I offer drop in at your house, I can do over nights if needed, I also can pets to appointments if needed. I do have experience with aggressive dogs as well. I have a fully enclosed 7 foot tall fenced in yard as well
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Growing up with dogs, I quickly became in tune with their needs and can form a bond quickly! I go above and beyond to make every dog I meet feel loved and welcomed. I grew up with cats, dogs, and horses. I’m currently home with my little boy for the summer so my availability is virtually wide open! I’ll be able to provide walks, pets, and so much more. I have an outdoor kennel with a nice house in it if needed. Otherwise, I can provide a crate inside in a calm environment. My 2 dogs are around to play with your dog as well! If you’re worried about my dogs and your dog getting along, I can separate them-no problem.
About: I've had two cats for 10 years. I also took care of a black lab while his owner was at work. I played ball, potty breaks, cuddles & plenty of love. Also pet sit for friends while they were on vacation for a week, cats. I'm currently unemployed at this time and occassionaly volunteer or attend events, mostly for a week or two, out of town.

I'm willing to house solely by myself for short or long term periods of time, 1 week up to a month.

“Caitlin was easy to communicate with, very welcoming and was flexible with my dog’s needs. My dog came home tired and happy. She sent photos and updates. Her own dogs are very nice, friendly and easy going. Definitely recommend Caitlin!”
“Kajae and Emily were excellent hosts for Murphy! Emily sent lots of photos and communication to keep me in the loop with how Murphy was doing during her stay, and she returned home a very happy pup! Will definitely be booking future stays with Kajae and Emily!”
“Sara was wonderful host! She has a great indoor setup for caring for multiple guests, and a lovely property. Our pup Kota was well cared for during her 4-day stay. We got photos and video of her while we were away, which is always comforting. I would highly recommend Sara; we will be booking with her again for Kota’s next stay!”
“Mikaela was wonderful hosting our pup. She was excellent at coordinating drop off and pick up. I really appreciate the pictures and updates she sent to us. Our dog was always excited to go back over and they welcomed him warmly into their home.”
“Hartley and Pretty Girl had a wonderful stay! Jessica and her family were very accommodating. They helped our anxious pup adapt to being away while letting our social pup play with the other dogs in the home. We will definitely be back!”
“Sydney did a great job with our shy rescue dog. She sent us pics of his walks (and his chilling time) to let us know that she was okay. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, and she is just a really nice young woman as well!”
“Thomas and his family welcomed our pup into their home. This was a total blessing for our fur baby to play with their dog and be around other people. Id definitely recommend Thomas if your in the area!”
“I’m very new to this pet sitting thing but I think overall it seemed to go okay. I needed to board her due to a move. Skye is busy checking out the new place. I would use her again for sure.”
About: My love for animals goes well back to when I was 4 or 5 and I was in charge of letting our neighbors dog out while they were on vk. (my mom was really there ;)) I always loved the 2 cats we had I'm sure but my love started growing for all animals when I took on that letting the neighbors pets out. Through highschool I volunteered when I could at the animal shelter a couple cities over and dreamed about owning my own training and boarding facility when I graduated. Well life pushed me into college and a career and 10 plus years later here I am with a degree I don't want a career in.... I'm going back to my dreams and would love for your dogs to be a part of the start of it! I have 3 fur babies of my own a cat and two dogs! All three rescues and loving life! Any questions feel free to reach out! Cant wait to meet everyone! I currently work Monday through Friday 8 to 5 as an intake coordinator for a hospital from home. My love is animals so all my spare time goes to fostering and volunteering for ruffstart along with taking care of others furbabies. All pets deserve lots of love but discipline when needed. I believe in positive reinforcement but some pups need a little more guidance and a shorter leash than others.. I plan on following owners directions and requests but offer guidance if wanted or needed. If all you want me to do is let your fur babies out and spoil them rotten I would absolutely love doing that! For boarding and doggy daycare I have an older resident dog so we can only take laid back submissive dogs for now. We do habe the capability to separate if she needs a break. We have a big Shepard mix that loves to play with everyone at only 3 years old!
“They sent us multiple pictures every day. The first picture was sent less than an hour after we dropped them off. We really appreciated all the communication!”
“Christina was great at communicating while I was out of town. I received a lot of pictures while I was away which gave me piece of mind that my dogs were doing well. She had the dogs outside all the time and they got lots of walks.”
“We are so happy with the great care Amanda gave our Bella. We felt our vacation was better because Bella was getting such great care. Photo updates helped us to relax and know she was doing well. We will definitely have Amanda take care of her again!”
“Natalie watched our 2 goldens and they had an absolute blast. They were easily entertained by the land and kiddos. We were sent ample pictures and videos throughout the entire week and would love to use Natalie again next time we’re out of town!!”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was in 6th grade when I'd regularly animal sit for one of my neighbor's Bernese Mountain Dog, 3 cats, and 2 bunnies. Since then, I've become a dog trainer and can deal with a wide variety of dogs, including dogs with additional care needs. I'm an AKC evaluator and I spend my free time competing with my dogs in a variety of sports! I take special care and pride in the animals I care for. I believe that a well exercised pet is going to be an easier companion and leads to a much happier family life. I have 3.5 acres for your pet to romp around. This will include things like loose leash walking, distraction training, and more. Mental stimulation will tire your dog out faster than physical stimulation so this exciting mixture will leave you with a very happy pup! Of course, if you prefer no training, I'm happy to go along with what you prefer! Lastly, I try my best to create the best relationship with the animals I care for. This means I want your furry friend to love me as much as I love them. I prefer to meet your pet and at least one owner of your pet before continuing into a service. This isn't a requirement, but a strong preference. Especially for extended stays. I work hybrid so I spend 50% of business days working from home. On the weekends, I don't have to go in-office. My entire life revolves around my dogs and adding your pet into our routine will be an easy transition! I have a 3.5 acre yard and 5 of my own dogs. My dogs will crate and rotate indoors with your pet depending on their needs. I keep client dogs separate from my personal dogs and other client dogs unless discussed and agreed upon beforehand so you know your pup is safe. All of my dogs are friendly and play together easily.
“Meghann was phenomenal with response times, and for daily updates. She was flexible with our dog (adult husky) followed her routine as close to consistent as she could. Her family was also wonderful with our dog. Definitely will recommend people in her area to use her.”
“Great Experience! ? This was first time my dog stayed with Ashley and Eric & family. We met at the dog park prior to the 2 night stay to ensure that we were a good match for each other. I received numerous photos of Wynnie during her stay. Both Ashley and Eric were very accommodating. I will definitely use their services again!”
“Grace was absolutely amazing while she watched our dog! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. Grace kept us updated throughout the stay with regular messages and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She truly welcomes your dog as if they were one of her own, and it's clear how much she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. She is incredibly professional, kind, and trustworthy, and we never had to worry for a second. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for exceptional dog care. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
