“Thanks for taking great care of Sunny! I could tell she was loving all the play time and cuddles! I could also tell she loves staying with you guys! Makes it easy to take a trip when you know your dog is being so well cared for!”

About: I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, and fish. I like to make sure the animal is having as much fun as I am. I am currently job hunting until I start college during the second semester so I am free all hours. I can update you as often as you want about your pets. Every hour to once a day it's up to you. I have job shadowed at a vet clinic a few times so I put the animals safety first. I won't pressure or force your animal to do something they don't want. This means that I will spend time with them so they trust me to attach a lesh to go outside. I don't prefer to handle animals at night because they tend to be more cautious but I can if needed.
“Dayjah came through for us last minute for 4th of July weekend. She was reliable, friendly, had great communication, and our dog had so much fun at her house. Dayjah hosted several dogs that weekend, and provided a “summer camp” experience for our dog complete with pool and hose play. He came home tired and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”

“Darian was amazing. We used her for a 2 week vacation and we are so grateful to have found her. We will definitely use her again. She taught our puppy how to walk on a leash, which he was struggling with before we dropped him off. We received daily updates, photos and videos, and never had to worry about him being cared for, loved on and played with.”

“Andrew, Venessa and kids did a fabulous job looking after Lyla. We are extremely pleased with the care that Lyla received. Lyla had lots of fun and she was extremely comfortable. The communication was great with updates and pictures. We will definitely be reaching out to them for future needs.”

“Great experience, as always! Pictures and check in everyday, which this dog mama loves. My flight was delayed a couple hours and Andrew was willing tow too with me to accommodate my schedule. Always appreciated.”


“Bethany was wonderful! Our dogs had a great time with her family while we were out of town. She sent daily pictures which was so fun and reassuring. Will definitely book again!”

“Wow!! I am sooooi glad I found Lexi and her family. Its not always easy to trust basically a stranger to watch your did, especially when he’s like a child to you but I’m so glad I did. Pictures and updates everyday, and a wore out little man getting home!! Thank you Lexi and family!! Murphy looks forward to seeing you again!! ❤️❤️”

“Brittany and her husband were GREAT!! She watched our dog Tucker for a few days while we were moving. She kept us up to date on how he was doing, and followed all of our instructions caring for him. We really appreciated her flexibility in timing dropping him off and picking him up - we unexpectedly needed to extend our booking an extra night, and was happy to accommodate this last-minute. I recommend Brittany without reservation - we'll definitely be re-booking in the future!”

“Melissa and her family took wonderful care of my dog over the weekend! She updated me with lots of photos and video of her having a blast. I would recommend Melissa highly.”

“I appreciated the way Shelby stayed in contact with me over the weekend and the TLC my dog received while in her care. Shelby was attentive to the hot temps outside and adjusted schedules accordingly to keep the dogs safe. Which I appreciated! I knew he was in good hands.”

“Brandi and her family were AMAZING! The communication was great, the pictures, the many walks, the care they provided our puppy was everything we could have hoped for and more. Wonderful experience, we just booked another stay with Brandi’s family for this fall!”

“Brenna welcomed our beagle on his first stay away from us. Her chill manner and gentle encouragement made me feel very comfortable. Would highly recommend to others and rebook again myself.”

“Carine and her family are very caring and responsible! Our puppy had a great time playing with her kids. We brought our "potty bell" for him to use to tell them when he needed to go out, and Carine used that to seamlessly continue his potty training! Communication with her was very clear and prompt. Her house was very clean too! We're planning to bring our dog to her house again in the future!”

“Kristen and her family were incredible to our dogs. They were very accommodating to their needs. They allowed them to chew up the toys we brought for them and were cool with the mess that came along with it. The treats that were provided were given out. Kristen was very flexible with drop off pick up time. I was pleasantly surprised to see my dogs were not the excised to see me when I returned to pick them up. Which truly tells me that they were given a ton of love attention and affection. I’m very thankful that they watched our dogs. I definitely will use them again.”
“Katrina and Drew were great! They were quick to communicate and were very accommodating to minor schedule changes. Our pup did so well she ran out of food! She usually skips meals when away from home and I pack accordingly. Katrina quickly replaced the food to keep Schatzi on schedule!”

“Elizabeth was incredibly thorough and easy to work with. I felt incredibly comfortable leaving my animals with her. She is also excellent at communicating while she is sitting, and I would absolutely trust her to catsit again.”


About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and truly understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m happy to care for playful kittens, independent adults, and senior cats who need a little extra patience and attention. My experience caring for animals includes senior pets with special dietary needs, as well as animal medical administration and attentive routine care. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, giving your cat plenty of playtime and attention, or simply giving them space when that’s what they prefer. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐱❤️

“Wendy was great with our cats. She was consistent with her visits and updates. We loved the photos she sent. We could tell they had fun with here when we came home because one of them brought his wand to us to play with.”

“Robyn does an excellent job! We have 3 cats with an involved routine and had very lengthy and specific instructions. Robyn is intelligent, communicates well, responds quickly, and follows detailed instructions well. She also has a calming presence, vibe, and speaking voice, which is incredibly helpful for cats. She knows how to respect cat’s autonomy. I was impressed that she approached them in a way that lets them decide if they want to receive attention. She provides excellent notes and photos with each visit and as pet parents, we are relieved to have someone like her to care for them while we are away.”

“Emmalee took excellent care of our cats while we were away on a long vacation. She kept us updated with plenty of photos of her playing with them and spending quality time together, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear our cats were happy and well cared for. We will absolutely be booking her again for our next trip!”


About: Growing up with multiple cats and raising two rescue tabbies of my own taught me that cats aren't 'just' low-maintenance pets—they have distinct personalities and communication styles. My approach to cat sitting includes: • Reading Them and the Room: I know when a cat wants playful interaction and when they are asking for space. I respect their cat-ness and don’t force cats into any interactions they don’t want to have. • Play & Enrichment: I use toys they like and games they find interesting and stimulating, and will ask you about what they like to do the most. • Routines and Cleanliness: I keep feeding, litterbox cleaning, and grooming to our agreed upon schedule and will make sure their space is maintained and clean while you are away. • Shy & Nervous Cats: I wait for your cats to set the tone, using patience, quiet companionship, and only the touch they prefer. I am happy to let them set the pace!
“Bailey did a great job dropping in on our cat while we were on vacation. She sent one or two photos each day with a few words about how Spock was doing, and I didn't have to worry about him at all. I really appreciated being able to find someone through Rover who was background-checked and trustworthy. Will definitely keep Bailey in mind for future trips.”

“Ana and her family were absolutely amazing! It’s clear that they truly understand how important our dogs are to us. Ana’s communication was unparalleled. She sent frequent updates with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while Oreo was with them. Oreo loved playing with their sweet pup Bailey in their securely fenced yard and soaking up all the loving pets from the whole family. It was obvious that they genuinely love dogs and treat their visitors like part of the family. I also really appreciated the chance to do a meet and greet ahead of time so Oreo and Bailey could meet and make sure they were a good play match. I would feel completely comfortable having Oreo stay with them again anytime, and I know he would be thrilled to go back. I won’t hesitate to reach out next time he needs some playtime and extra snuggles!”

About: I have fostered any age dog for 3 years! Have a dog of my own for 10 and grew up on a farm with many dogs and cats. Also going to school for a vet tech. I can take on a couple dogs or cats any day of the week. Someone is always home. Have 7 people in the house with 4 adults and 3 teens. I have a fenced yard and a dog friend to play with. Also have 6 other people i. My home to help out. Am very good at calming animals and have reiki experience with animals.
About: I work remotely in marketing full time. We’re very grateful to have a nice home with a wonderful, large, fenced-in backyard that allows the dogs to go potty in and explore (bark!). My availability and hours are very flexible and the dogs are rarely left alone or kenneled, they are free to roam the house, I just close doors as necessary. I have never owned a dog of my own, I just grew up around dogs and cats. Mainly and most recently, it was a sisters two dogs our family spent the most time around: Gibbs (15 lb., 13 yr old, male Jack Russell Terrier & Beagle mix) and Zero (65 lb., 5 yr old, male Standard Poodle). I would basically Rover for her and her husband, which including giving the senior, anxiety-ridden dog meds (he didn’t enjoy, he would spit them up). We enjoyed being outdoors and evening walks around the neighborhood and having them a part of our family. They have then since moved to the West coast with their dogs. I work remotely and am blessed with the work-life balance it offers. I have an energetic elementary school-aged daughter. She's an empath and truly cares for all animals wellbeing! She's deeply concerned about any discomfort or distress. We have a dog-friendly orange cat named Buddy (4). He's fed first thing in the AM and enjoys chin scratches. He stays nearby me in my office or does his own thing. My daughter buses to and from school and I take a hour lunch at noon, then am done at 5 PM and we go about our evening routine. Dogs go out every few hours (sliding patio door) to the fenced in yard or when they signal me. Right in the morning and before bed. I try to get as much activity in for us as possible, especially on decent weather days. We utilize a nearby parks, dog park and walking trails in our community. Having the dogs here really motivate me to go for more walks, the dogs love them and I appreciate the eager walking company. I also live with my younger sister (23). She works full time 2 jobs as a CNA/retail, isn't home much but does help me care for the dogs, such as a short walk around the block. Our home is a 4 bed, 3 level split with a finished basement. It has a large secure, fully-fenced in yard and the property has 11 trees. Garage is attached. We all sleep in the upstairs bedrooms which is also where my office is. I have 2 litter boxes for my cat, one in garage that he prefers. The other is in the basement bathroom, where I can keep the door shut (Ive caught sisters dog eating litter covered turds). Our neighborhood is very safe and quiet. I have a reflective sash I wear out at night (this summer I was nearly ran over by an SUV when it was dark). The dogs usually sleep on the floor in my room and it's OK if they sleep on the bed, I am not concerned about fur. If the dog stinks, I can give them a bath either downstairs in the wash tub or upstairs in the bathtub. If they stay longer and start to stink, I will bathe them, because everyone feels better after a bath.

About: I was the kid hanging out in the neighbors dog house when my mom couldn't find me. Ive had a number of dogs since early on. Currently I have 4 dogs that run our household. We treat our dogs with love and kindness and reward with positive feedback. I would like to believe that people want the best for their pets, and with my care they will be treated as you would or better. I work from home currently and have access to let the pups out as needed. The fenced yard is high. They love the space and freedom of no leash. I have a fenced yard and 4 large dogs that play well with others. I do have a separate space if nessecary to keep them separated. I like to engage with the pups to keep them busy.. Hopefully if we play long enough they sleep well for me and you.
“When our normal sitter for our 18 year old dog was unavailable we selected Dayjah to fill in. As our dog is old, we are very protective with him. We spike with Dayjah on the phone first. It was clear that she not only was very knowledgeable about about pet care, but even more important, she loved animals. Our dog did fantastic with Dayjah. Infact, he did not seem to want to leave when we picked him up. Dayjah has my highest recommendation in providing safe and loving care for your pet!”

“Elizabeth cared for our Corgi and Cockapoo for two days while we were visiting the area. Our girls had so much fun with Elizabeth and her two daughters. We will absolutely book with her again.”

“Heidi and her husband have graciously welcomed Belle into their home for daycare a few different times now. I have appreciated how responsive they are, and how readily they and their dogs accept Belle into their family.”
“We just wrapped up our first day of doggy daycare with Jen, and we are so happy to have found such a wonderful family closeby with a fenced yard!!! Jen provided photos and updates throughout the day, which put me at ease. I love that her kids got to play with my dog as well. And I can tell my pup had a great time. We will be repeat customers for sure!!!”

“Joey is great! I never worry about my dog when he stays there. He was so excited to go when he did day care and would run to the door when we arrived. Definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve had dogs of my own over the years and have raised them from puppies, so I’m very familiar with all stages of a dog’s life from training and high-energy puppy behavior to the needs of adult and senior dogs. I’ve also personally fostered two daschund dogs for several years while a friend went through a difficult transition, caring for them full-time until she was able to find pet-friendly housing. That experience really deepened my understanding of long-term, committed pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds from larger dogs like Boxers to small breeds like Boston Terriers, Dachshunds, and Yorkies. I truly love them all and adjust my care based on each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, I focus on making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me flexibility for walks, feedings, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. My availability is open, and I’m also available most weekends. At my home, I provide a safe, family-friendly environment where pets are cared for like part of the family. I have a 10-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy, so I always ensure interactions are supervised and safe for both the pets and children. I follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while staying in my home.

“We were up for a few days and our old boy, Bowie had recently had some medical issues that we needed him to have a little extra love while we were off doing things and we would bring him back daily when done running. We didn't expect this to be a relaxing spa vacation for him! He was showered with love and pampered more that he is at home! I think he thinks I'm a bad dog dad now! Tawny took him for multiple walks every day, brushed him, gave him treats, and just loved him. He even got in the puppy pool which he doesn't do at home! I absolutely could not have asked for a better person to care for our baby. I highly recommend Tawny and next time we're up here if we need someone to watch one of our animals, we know EXACTLY who we're calling! Thank you Tawny for being such a loving person for our Bow-Bear! You're the BEST!!!”

“Perfect sitter who truly understands and follows specific care instructions. Rachel did exactly what we asked, and as a result, everyone—the dog, the sitter, and us as owners—was happy. I highly recommend her to anyone who may be unsure whether their dog can be properly cared for.”

“Kristen and her family welcomed Oreo as if he was their own dog. I felt confident that he was getting all the attention he needed. He got some love and exercise and a much welcomed break from his new little fur brother for the day. He is a fast eater, so still eats a lunch and that wasn't an issue at all for them. I know he would be happy to go back for a visit and some playtime with the kids anytime. Thanks for taking such great care of our big boy!”

About: I absolutely love dogs of all breeds. I am very familiar with the “bully breeds”, and larger breed dogs. I love cuddles and exploring, playing with toys, and meeting new friends at doggy parks. Working from home allows me to not have to leave your babies home alone for more than a couple of hours if I need to do errands. My 12yr old loves all animals and is willing to keep your babies active or relax and lay around. We can be a very active household, but we like to have a relax day here and there as well. Our favorite time of day is walking or running outdoors. We are pleased to have any age dog around! When your pup is with me, they will be loved and treated as if they have been in the home with us their entire life. I currently work from home so have plenty of flexibility. We have a big yard with plenty of pup toys, we are very observant and make sure everyone is doing good at all times. I am a dog trainer as well so know a lot of different skills to work with most dogs.
About: I’m recently retired and have had dogs all my life, since being 7 years old. I had to put my last fur baby to sleep in January 2026 and will be traveling over the next few years so don’t want to get another right now, and really miss having a doggo around! I used Rover quite a bit when I had dogs so would love to pay it forward and help someone else. Plus then I hopefully will get my fix of dogs! I’m currently very flexible, having just retired. I usually walk first thing in the morning and then after dinner with our British lab, Lilly. Live in Madison Lake but willing to drive to Mankato or St. Peter, for pet sitting or dog walking. We have a great home for dogs, so am happy to do pet sitting in our home too. We have a small British lab but she is not in the house much; she is a sweet, lover dog that prefers to hang outside in her luxury kennel outside. We walk her twice daily, and she gets along with all dogs we meet.
About: I am a loving and dependable person; a wife and stay-at-home mom of 3 children. I live in a smoke-free environment with three responsible, independent children that adore animals. I have had past experience with pets but have none in our home at this time. This leaves room for lots of attention and love for the dogs I care for. With attention to detail accompanied by a fun-loving family, I would provide a safe and caring place for your fur-baby! I homeschool, as a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be available most days, having time to care for your pet as needed. Need to travel for the holidays? I am a home-body during most special seasons and may be available to watch your pet. I have a fenced in back yard with ample space to move around. I live in a smaller, quieter development with lots of dog-loving neighbors! I am willing to administer needed medications (oral and topical) per pet's daily protocol.
“Our dogs had a wonderful time with Emily and her family. Emily was a great communicator all the way through and our boys were very well cared for and loved. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Robyn is beyond great with my dog! We started with a meet and greet walk that went very well but after my dog was shy without me there. Robyn was very good at helping Trusty warm up to her! She is always open to suggestions when it comes to me and my dog's needs. Now Trusty absolutely adores her! She's always very punctual, takes good pictures,and leaves good notes on her walks. When she isn't able to walk my dog, she has notified me far earlier than what I expected. I leave for work at 5:00 in the morning and I've had time to readjust before I leave. Hopefully recommended!”

About: I’ve lived with 5 hunting dogs my entire life as I was a hunting family and had to always take care of them at home. I now own two dogs of my own that are rescues and I love them as my own family. I have taught all my dogs to sit, fetch, and learn commands. They love to play and go smell around the neighborhood. Let me know if your pet has a special accommodations! I currently work 2-3 days a week depending on the week, so I will have plenty of time to play with your animals and let them out! I am used to watching anywhere from small to large dogs as I have grown up with all sizes in my family. If your dog loves to go on walks, great because I love to exercise!
About: Pets have always been a meaningful part of my life. I recently lost my childhood dog, Sophee, and her absence has reminded me just how much joy and companionship animals bring. With years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even a variety of farm animals, I’m confident in my ability to provide attentive, loving care. I’d be honored to help make your busy schedule a little easier by ensuring your pet gets the attention, comfort, and care they deserve. I just graduated from Gustavus and am working a few jobs this summer to help me pay for my graduate school this coming fall! I work a restaurant job, so typically I’m only available before 4, or after 4, and I only know less than a week ahead. Despite this, I'm committed to making it workout with you and whatever pet you may have! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs they may have. In your home, I aim to keep their environment as familiar and stress-free as possible by sticking to their usual schedule and respecting your space. I also prioritize secure leash handling during walks and double-check doors and gates to prevent escapes. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and plenty of love.

About: Hello! My name is Nyx; I'm experienced with big dogs, small dogs, special needs, seniors, and puppies. I am First Aid/CPR/AED certified through the American Red Cross, as well Basic Life Support (all information transfers to pets very similarly). I have been volunteering with various rescue organizations for years (mostly transport and events) and have previous experience working with a service dog organization as well. I'm confident in my ability to safely handle all kinds of dogs, medication administration, light grooming (baths, nails, ears, teeth brushing), and training reinforcement. I'm also known to make my own homemade dog treats and would love to spoil your pup. I have very flexible scheduling and can't wait to provide you with an excellent experience!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all through my life, including chihuahuas, a yorkie, pit bulls, a dachshund mix, labs, rat terriers, and more. I love to create warm environments for doggos and give them space to be themselves. I currently work part time, but I can pet sit Fridays-Sundays and Thursday afternoons at times. I may be able to do drop-ins during the week. I can dog sit at the client’s houses and am willing to help crate train, gives baths, walks, and provide other various care services. I might be able to at my apartment, but have a dog myself and would likely need a meet and greet.
About: I’ve taken care of my Tibetan Mastiff since before I can remember, and I’m my go-to neighborhood dog walker/caretaker. I love all shapes and sizes of dogs! I’m currently an online student at MNSU, so anytime during the weekday for boarding and walking is entirely open. Weekends work for specific dates and times. I have a reliable mode of transportation and I love taking care of animals. Whether it’s bathing, feeding, walking, or just sitting with a dog, I love to be there. I have grown up with a fear reactive dog, so I have experience with reading dog’s body language and reacting accordingly.
About: I am a 29 year old who loves working with animals!. I have 11 years of experience working with dogs. I also own one pup of my own, he is a Golden Retriever named Wally. He is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs! I also have two kitties named Watson & Wynnie. If needed, I can do baths and nail trims! I also work part time as a dog trainer, so I am here for anyone who needs any extra tips or wants help with any basic training needs. I usually work 12 til 7pm during the week but have some days off. I can do walks before or after I am off of work! I am very cautious with other people’s pets as I work in a dog facility. I am specialized in dog language and am very good about telling what your dogs needs are.
About: There’s something about a dog’s loyalty, personality, and the way they become such an important part of our lives that I’ve always cherished. My love for dogs began at a very young age; at just six years old, I had a Poodle of my own and was already learning the responsibility and joy of caring for a dog. Throughout my life, I’ve proudly had dogs of my own and cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. We recently lost our beloved German Shepherd/Husky to old age, and although his loss was difficult, it reminded me how much joy dogs bring into our lives. I would love the opportunity to share that extra love and attention with another amazing dog while their family is away. I’m a lifelong dog lover with more than two decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, ranging from 2 to 165 pounds. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, quirks, routines, and preferences and tailoring my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I care for every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, affection, and walks when weather permits and with the owner’s approval. My 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard provides plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I also work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be present and attentive to my furry guests. Whether your pup loves cuddles or prefers personal space, I’m happy to follow their lead and respect their individual needs. With experience caring for dogs who are anxious, fearful, reactive, or more challenging to handle, I’ve developed strong observational skills and can recognize signs of stress, discomfort, illness, or injury. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions and routines, and providing basic first aid when needed. Most importantly, I love spoiling my furry guests because, in my opinion, they’re on vacation too! 🐾 You’re welcome to bring their regular food, treats, favorite toys, bed, blanket, or other comfort items to help make their stay familiar and special. I’m dependable in all weather conditions and always prioritize the safety, health, and comfort of every guest. If my calendar shows that I’m unavailable, please feel free to reach out anyway. I’m flexible whenever possible and happy to see if we can find a time that works. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your furry family member into our home! ****** ******** ***** I’m proud to share that I’ve had the opportunity to volunteer with Can Do Canines and regularly participate in dog-related events. These experiences have been incredibly rewarding, and I’m grateful to be able to contribute to the care, training, and support of these remarkable dogs as they prepare to change lives. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be readily available and provide pets with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced-in yard, which is ideal for multiple potty breaks, outdoor playtime, and exercise throughout the day. Caring for a pet comes down to consistently meeting their physical, emotional, and health needs. The exact details vary depending on the animal, of course! -I have a 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard and pet gates in the house (if needed); -I love to go for walks with pets; -I love to cuddle and play with pets if that’s what they are into; -I feed them a balanced diet per owners’ instructions. Fresh water is always available. -I’d love to comb them if tools are provided from owners; -I provide lots of daily update pictures and/or videos; -And would be open to any reasonable requests owners might have.
About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I pride myself on giving each animal the same love and attention they’d get from their family. I’m experienced with administering medications, following special diets, and providing calm, reassuring care for anxious pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What Sets Me Apart: I focus on building trust through consistency, patience, and clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My background in handling multiple pets at once and caring for animals with special needs means you can relax knowing your pets are in capable hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight care, or weekend stays, I make sure your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to training routines, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level.
About: I treat my 2 dogs like children. Spoiled rotten. I enjoy animals more than I enjoy humans. Sorry, not sorry. My special skill is love lol I'm a travel nurse, working in different towns. Need more activities to do on my days off. I usually will have 3 days off. I have my dog with me and know how important he is. He is home.

About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I have the biggest soft spot for them, and I have two dogs of my own. I have had my own dog since I was about 19, but have had outdoor farm dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been around dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals for as long as I can remember. I am patient, detail orientated and I truly just love spending time with animals. Big or small, I love them all! I do work during the day, but I have the ability to pop out if/when I need to. I am free evenings and weekends. My schedule can be flexible if needed. I have a dog friendly home. To me this means there’s nothing but toys on the ground. Garbages are hidden and I am very aware of what is around my animals. I also have a dog park in front of my apartment!
About: I have grown up with two lovely pups in my house. I helped taking care of them and even helped in training our hunting dog! I love being around animals and especially dogs. I am currently a college student I go to school at the university of Minnesota state Mankato. I am majoring in sports management with a minor in marketing. Moving back to college means I’m away from my dog at home. I am not ready to commit to getting a dog of my own due to living in an apartment, but I wanted the opportunity to be around dogs. So, that’s when I found rover and thought it would be perfect for someone like me! I give a lot of attention to the dogs and of course love to take them on long walks as I am quite active myself.

“Kayla was great. Was on time, took the pups on a nice long walk, sent a few pictures, and communicated with me when she picked them up and dropped them off. Will definitely be reaching out for here services again.”

“Thanks for taking great care of Sunny! I could tell she was loving all the play time and cuddles! I could also tell she loves staying with you guys! Makes it easy to take a trip when you know your dog is being so well cared for!”

“Dayjah came through for us last minute for 4th of July weekend. She was reliable, friendly, had great communication, and our dog had so much fun at her house. Dayjah hosted several dogs that weekend, and provided a “summer camp” experience for our dog complete with pool and hose play. He came home tired and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”

“Darian was amazing. We used her for a 2 week vacation and we are so grateful to have found her. We will definitely use her again. She taught our puppy how to walk on a leash, which he was struggling with before we dropped him off. We received daily updates, photos and videos, and never had to worry about him being cared for, loved on and played with.”

“Andrew, Venessa and kids did a fabulous job looking after Lyla. We are extremely pleased with the care that Lyla received. Lyla had lots of fun and she was extremely comfortable. The communication was great with updates and pictures. We will definitely be reaching out to them for future needs.”

“Great experience, as always! Pictures and check in everyday, which this dog mama loves. My flight was delayed a couple hours and Andrew was willing tow too with me to accommodate my schedule. Always appreciated.”


About: I was the kid hanging out in the neighbors dog house when my mom couldn't find me. Ive had a number of dogs since early on. Currently I have 4 dogs that run our household. We treat our dogs with love and kindness and reward with positive feedback. I would like to believe that people want the best for their pets, and with my care they will be treated as you would or better. I work from home currently and have access to let the pups out as needed. The fenced yard is high. They love the space and freedom of no leash. I have a fenced yard and 4 large dogs that play well with others. I do have a separate space if nessecary to keep them separated. I like to engage with the pups to keep them busy.. Hopefully if we play long enough they sleep well for me and you.

“Bethany was wonderful! Our dogs had a great time with her family while we were out of town. She sent daily pictures which was so fun and reassuring. Will definitely book again!”

“Wow!! I am sooooi glad I found Lexi and her family. Its not always easy to trust basically a stranger to watch your did, especially when he’s like a child to you but I’m so glad I did. Pictures and updates everyday, and a wore out little man getting home!! Thank you Lexi and family!! Murphy looks forward to seeing you again!! ❤️❤️”

“Brittany and her husband were GREAT!! She watched our dog Tucker for a few days while we were moving. She kept us up to date on how he was doing, and followed all of our instructions caring for him. We really appreciated her flexibility in timing dropping him off and picking him up - we unexpectedly needed to extend our booking an extra night, and was happy to accommodate this last-minute. I recommend Brittany without reservation - we'll definitely be re-booking in the future!”

“Melissa and her family took wonderful care of my dog over the weekend! She updated me with lots of photos and video of her having a blast. I would recommend Melissa highly.”

“I appreciated the way Shelby stayed in contact with me over the weekend and the TLC my dog received while in her care. Shelby was attentive to the hot temps outside and adjusted schedules accordingly to keep the dogs safe. Which I appreciated! I knew he was in good hands.”

“Brandi and her family were AMAZING! The communication was great, the pictures, the many walks, the care they provided our puppy was everything we could have hoped for and more. Wonderful experience, we just booked another stay with Brandi’s family for this fall!”

“Carine and her family are very caring and responsible! Our puppy had a great time playing with her kids. We brought our "potty bell" for him to use to tell them when he needed to go out, and Carine used that to seamlessly continue his potty training! Communication with her was very clear and prompt. Her house was very clean too! We're planning to bring our dog to her house again in the future!”

“Kristen and her family were incredible to our dogs. They were very accommodating to their needs. They allowed them to chew up the toys we brought for them and were cool with the mess that came along with it. The treats that were provided were given out. Kristen was very flexible with drop off pick up time. I was pleasantly surprised to see my dogs were not the excised to see me when I returned to pick them up. Which truly tells me that they were given a ton of love attention and affection. I’m very thankful that they watched our dogs. I definitely will use them again.”
“Katrina and Drew were great! They were quick to communicate and were very accommodating to minor schedule changes. Our pup did so well she ran out of food! She usually skips meals when away from home and I pack accordingly. Katrina quickly replaced the food to keep Schatzi on schedule!”
