Chris did a great job and was a huge help after our previous sitter was not a good match for our dog. This was not the case with Chris. Right away when we got to Chris’s house we could tell it was going to be a great match for our dog. He took the time to get to know Benji and helped him feel comfortable. Benji had a great time playing with the other animals and it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was ok good hands.

Jennifer is the real deal- a true animal person, dedicated to giving quality care to our beloved pets. My cat Timmy had never gone to someone else’s house before this- Jennifer made him feel right at home, offering a calm and loving environment that I was able to see first-hand via her amazing videos. I feel so lucky to have found this option. She will make future traveling easy and stress-free!

Kay's home was perfect for Mabel. After spending a weekend at a nice dog hotel, we discovered Mabel thrives more with the home vibe and more personal human interaction. Kay provided a beautiful setting on acreage that's a mix of safety with space. I liked that there weren't multiple dogs other than their friendly golden retriever Brandi that Mabel became friends with. Kay kept us updated daily with words and pictures which I really appreciate. I highly recommend Kay and will definitely go back!

Mike and Niki were SO good to our Raven girl! It was evident that they loved and cared for her like she was their own. We appreciated all of the picture updates throughout the weekend! We could see how much Raven enjoyed to be around them, and we think she was a bit sad to leave them! She was spoiled with walks, hikes, and lots of play time! Thanks again for everything, Mike and Niki! We will hands down book again if we find ourselves in the area!

About: I’ve owned dogs for the last 26 years. From car rides, to hide and seek and tug of war games and cuddling, they were spoiled! Friday and Saturday’s are wide open for me as those are my days off. Your dog can relax at our house, play in our yard and go on walks. We live in a quiet neighborhood with over an acre of land for your dog to enjoy their time. Put your mind at ease when you are enjoying your time on vacation, working or headed to an appointment.

About: I am a huge dog lover<3 Caring for them is so rewarding for me. Learning their unique personalities and daily routines brings so much joy! I have cared for two Bichons for the past seventeen years. Since they both have now crossed over the rainbow bridge I am looking for a way to help others out... whether it is to take their dog for a walk during the week while they are at work or to care for them while their owners are traveling. I am mature and responsible... caring and loving your dog as much as you do. I have a special place in my heart for Senior dogs... my senior Bichon gave me so much love and caring experiences to share with others<3

We are very grateful to Amy for the joyful care she provided to our kittens on our recent short trip. When she came to visit and meet our pets, we immediately felt comfortable with her and confident that our four-footed family members would be in good hands. Upon our return our home was neat and tidy, and the kittens were happy and healthy. The kitten playroom showed that she had spent time in play with our very active felines. We give Amy a five-star review and recommend her without reservation.

She made an exception to sit my rabbit shaped cat and was clear with communication and socializing with my rabbit seems natural for her. The photos she sent me definitely reflect a happy visit with my rabbit. 10/10 we would book again!

About: Hello! My name is Liz and I am a lover of animals of all kinds. They are the joy of my life. I have cared for pups since I was young. In my adult life, I adopted the most beautiful little pomeranian, my Remy. He was a senior dog when I adopted him and came with many special needs. I have experience with giving multiple medications, cooking speciality meals, and hand feeding 4 times/day. My little guy even had to be held and burped like a little baby! I am deeply caring, gentle, and warm with all animals. I love taking them on long walks, playing puzzle games and fetch, bringing them on stroller rides, swimming at the lake, and going for car ride adventures. I work very hard to keep my little fur babies engaged, joyfilled, and calm. After losing my little boy Remy in July, I would really appreciate being able to carry that love over to your own special furry, feathered, or scaly family member. It would be a joy for me to help care for your loved one. I am currently the most available that a person could be. Caring for your special family members is my job, and my passion. You name the day and time, I will make it happen. I have a wonderful little home in town with a large yard. I do not have a fenced in yard, however, I live right near miles of walking trails. My home is clean, calm, and welcoming, with lots of sunbathed, cozy places to nap. If you would like me to visit your loved one in your home, I will always be diligent about following house rules. I am respectful, courteous, and conscientious.

About: I've had a dog since I was five. We got her from a cabin up North who was not a breeder. From the moment we got her to the moment she passed, she was my puppy. I taught her all the tricks she knew, I walked her, I did everything with her. She was 15 years old when she passed two falls ago. My family now just got a puppy during Covid. Again, when I am living at home (not at school), she's my dog. My fiancé and I moved to Pequot Lakes in April 2023. We now have a Springer Spaniel puppy named Maverick, who will be 2 in April. I work in Crosby, but I am out the door early in the morning and typically back by 3:30 pm. I could do a really early morning visit, but the afternoon/evenings would fit my schedule better during the week. Otherwise, I work from home on Fridays and the weekends my schedule is more open. When I go for walks, I ALWAYS make sure I have poop bags with me as I hate when people don't pick up after their dogs. I'm not afraid to pick up after dogs!

About: I've always had a connection to animals since childhood. My family had a small hobby farm growing up and I would spend my free time reading out by the chickens, batting a softball for my lab-spaniel mix to fetch or laying in the grass with my guinnea pig and rabbit. I volunteered with Adopt-A-Pet animal rescue for eight years in many capacities including foster mom. Besides pet sitting, I've also worked in the Petsmart grooming salon and have a grooming certification. I've worked as an animal caretaker on several organic farms and have the skills necessary to petsit animals considered farm animals. I have a calm demeanor about me which animals sense and quickly feel comfortable around me. I also have the patience it takes to work well with animals. I value good communication, honesty, diligence, punctuality and quality care.

I have had a dog of my own growing up for 12 years. Currently, though I do not have any dogs. I used to volunteer part-time to train future service puppies for the blind for over 3 years. ( I have worked with 9 or 10 dogs in the Leader Dog for the Blind program) I have a flexible schedule, and I'm always willing to figure out a solid plan with potential people who need a sitter for their awesome furry friends. I am capable of working and looking after dogs with medical needs as well :). I have worked in probation, law enforcement, corrections, and mental health for over 11 years now. I am a very energetic person who enjoys exercising, and enjoy bringing dogs for walks. I have been on Rover for 4 years I enjoy traveling the world in my free time. ***I respond to requests generally within 10 minutes*** I have a pretty flexible schedule so I will do my best to assist with whatever drop off or pick up time you may have :). I now have a fenced in area in my backyard. My driveway is about a 1/4 mile from my house to the road so traffic is not a concern. I can crate if requested.

About: My family and I love pets! We would love to have your dog stay with us and enjoy all the comforts of home! We have children who are sure to give your pet loads of extra attention. I am a (mostly) stay-at-home mom! This means your pet will have near constant companionship while in our care. They will be loved, cared for, and treated as a member of the family. We have a fenced in yard and go for a lot of walks! Your pet will be hanging out with a family, not left alone in a kennel.

About: I love all cats and dogs! I have 2 dogs and 6 cats of my own. I have had dogs and cats all of my life and I just like meeting pets and their owners. I have no problems or concerns with any breeds. I feel comfortable administering medications. I am able to follow specific directions and can handle a variety of emergency situations. I am a true animal lover and my pets are my family. I would treat your pet as such when you are not with them. I am a teacher, so during the summer months, I am basically available 24 hours a day if needed. When school is in session, I am unavailable from 7 am to 4 pm on days when school is in session. I have 5 acres with a small lake. We do not have a fenced yard, but there are woods around our house that separate us from our closest neighbors, who live in the Twin Cities area and use the house as a cabin. My pets are my family, and I spoil them. Our animals are allowed on the furniture. I have a 6-year-old female yellow Lab mix and a 3-year-old male pitbull. All of my animals are fixed. I have 3 male cats who live inside, ages 5 to 8. We also have 3 cats: a mama (age unknown) and her son and daughter (who will be 1 year old in the summer of 2026), who are outside/shop cats. The cats are not declawed. I have 2 teenage boys who love animals, as does my husband. We rarely have visitors, and those we do have are family or very close friends. We have a gate to separate our upstairs and downstairs if needed.

About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with a real love for animals. I currently work at The Babinski Foundation, where I’ve learned a lot about taking care of pets with all kinds of personalities, needs, and behaviors. Working there has given me a lot of experience and knowledge about how to keep animals safe, happy, and healthy. As a pet sitter, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to get to know each one and make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for. What makes me different is how much I truly care about animals and how much I enjoy spending time with them. I always give pets lots of attention, patience, and kindness. I want them to feel at home with me and to know they’re in good hands. As a pet sitter I go above and beyond to provide personalized care for each pet I look after. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love and empathy for animals. I treat each pet as if they were my own, showering them with affection, attention, and patience. I strive to create a bind of trust and companionship with every pet, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 rescue dogs, both neutered ages 3 and 4. I have participated in obedience classes. I am also working on getting my dog training certification. I have worked as a kennel assistant for 2 + years. During this time, I have had the pleasure of working with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have also administered medications including insulin. I also have 2 cats and my kids have a guinea pig, rabbit, and bearded dragon. I also volunteer/foster dogs for a local rescue. I work part time at the kennel, so availability does vary depending on the week. Daily my pups get fed twice and let out as often as needed. I have a 6ft privacy fenced yard to keep the pups safe. Including a "safety square" to prevent the pups from escaping one of the gates. As far as your home, I will be able to accommodate whatever your safety measures are for your home

About: I grew up with dogs and love being around them. I have also been a cat sitter multiple times. I have a flexible schedule due to the fact I am a college student. Mid-day walks, potty breaks and feedings fit in perfectly. Monday-Friday are my easiest days. I work every other weekend and a couple times during the week. I have class early during the week but majority end before noon. I love spending time with animals and will complete the cares necessary for each furry friend leaving the environment clean and safe for your animal.

About: i have dog sat for multiple people and love all dogs/ cats. i have experience with puppies and also older dogs. i would prefer to not have the dog be aggressive if possible. i have also taken care of a couple cats and would feel comfortable doing that also! Right now i am working around 30 hours a week but i work during the day so i’ll be able to let them out and i don’t work full 8 hour shifts so they wouldn’t be home alone too long! I will make sure to follow all the instructions you give me while taking care of your pets, because i know they’re your family and i wouldn’t want anything to happen to them.

About: I had a dog growing up for several years where I not only took care of, but she was also my friend and companion! Growing up with a dog was a good responsibility and taught me how to care for something else. I’m currently in occupational therapy school and I have a month and a half break where I am looking to earn some extra cash! I would be available on weekdays or weekends. I will create a safe, and trusting environment for your pet while providing tailored care specifically to your own pet. I want to provide a comfortable environment and build rapport with your pet. Meeting up with your pet prior before providing pet care will ensure this safe environment.

About: Rised on a hobby farm so grew up with all sorts of animals. My very own puppy came to me when i was 12 years old and have had a fur baby pretty much since. Have had some training in puppy classes and obedience. Have work with Bark Busters of the Twin Cities. Over the last 6 plus years I have joined a pet service company based out of the Twin Cities who specialize in doggy day care, dog walks, pet sitting for vacation clients in their home and also in our home. Pets come first. Working from home gives us the flexibility to care for your pets 24/7. Plenty of exercise, play time and of course scratches and love time. When pets come into our home we treat them as if they are our own. Currently the big back yard is not fenced in, however that will be changing very soon. In the meantime we will be going on more walks and being outside with your pets on a leash. We have one furbaby, and he is definitely a spoiled baby. If for some reason our pets do not get along, we will have a separation for our pets to keep all safe and yet still make sure that your pet feels like they are at their 2nd home. We will customized your home habits as you request. Crated as needed or want by our clients.

About: My background in training dogs through agility classes, working with shy and special-needs animals, fostering cats, and managing dogs of all sizes at a daycare makes me uniquely qualified. I’ve also cared for farm animals, including geese, and I’m skilled in pet grooming. My patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality ensure your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a steady work-life balance, working Monday-Friday from 6 AM to 3 PM. Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I am available for early morning, evening, and weekend visits. On Mondays, I travel to Duluth for agility training, so I can take pet-sitting jobs in that area. I’m also willing to drive within a 100-mile radius of my home to provide care, ensuring flexibility for pet owners who need reliable and loving service. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and routine to create a stress-free and comfortable environment. I’m experienced with shy animals and work patiently to help them feel safe. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pets receive attentive care, from feeding and playtime to maintaining a clean environment, including litter box upkeep. Whether it’s keeping a routine, providing enrichment, or offering extra care for special needs pets, I always prioritize their well-being.

Chris did a great job and was a huge help after our previous sitter was not a good match for our dog. This was not the case with Chris. Right away when we got to Chris’s house we could tell it was going to be a great match for our dog. He took the time to get to know Benji and helped him feel comfortable. Benji had a great time playing with the other animals and it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was ok good hands.

Kay's home was perfect for Mabel. After spending a weekend at a nice dog hotel, we discovered Mabel thrives more with the home vibe and more personal human interaction. Kay provided a beautiful setting on acreage that's a mix of safety with space. I liked that there weren't multiple dogs other than their friendly golden retriever Brandi that Mabel became friends with. Kay kept us updated daily with words and pictures which I really appreciate. I highly recommend Kay and will definitely go back!

We could see how much Raven enjoyed to be around them, and we think she was a bit sad to leave them! She was spoiled with walks, hikes, and lots of play time!
