“Appreciated Grace taking our dogs in last minute for their first time being boarded. Zero anxiety issues when we got home (they are giant babies) We will definitely be requesting Grace again! Thank you again”
“My first time using Rover, I was a little apprehensive. Eric was great. During Lacy’s stay we received multiple updates and pictures of her. We will definitely ask Eric and Rover to keep her again.”
“Diane provides great care and a comfortable environment for your family dog. We were hesitant to use anyone, but found Diane truly cares about Goose and treated him as her own.”
“There is not enough things to say about my dogs stay with Mike and Nicki. From drop off to pick up the communication was great, and I knew my dog was in good hands with all the exercise he was getting and pictures I got throughout the stay. I would recommend them to anyone and will be looking for them next time I need a dog sitter in the area!”
“Amazing as always. Ruby is my go to when I need a sitter. My dog loves her time with Ruby and is very comfortable. This last time my dog didn't even bother saying goodbye just took off to the back yard to play so I know she feels safe and cared for there.”
“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.”

“Ashley and family adopted Jedi as one of their own. They kept us up to date and in touch with timely texts and photos. I would not hesitate to seek out Ashley for pet sitting services in the future.”
“Nancy was so great with our high energy vizsla, Eddie! Eddie was so well cared for and had a ton of fun with Nancy-we will definitely try to have her stay with Nancy again in the future ??”
“Elizabeth is awesome! She was so patient and kind with my really nervous dog and went above and beyond to communicate with me and problem-solve as my pup presented her with some unforeseen challenges. I can’t imagine that there’s a better dog caregiver out there.”
“Samantha and family took excellent care of our German Shepherd and Yorkie, we will definitely use Samantha again, our dogs were taken care of like family. Can’t say enough good about Samantha and family”
About: Lifelong animal experience – I’ve cared for animals my entire life, not just as a job but as a way of life. • Real dog-owner perspective – With 2 dogs of my own, I understand routines, energy levels, training reinforcement, and emotional needs. • Calm, patient care – Great for shy, anxious, senior, or high-energy dogs who need consistency and understanding. • Individualized attention – I don’t do “one-size-fits-all” care. Walks, play, feeding, and downtime are tailored to your dog. • Trust & reliability – I show up on time, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly so you can relax while you’re away. • Home-style love – Your dog is treated like family, not a booking. Hi! I’m Shelbie, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all personalities. I live in a peaceful rural area with plenty of space for play, walks, and safe adventures. Your furry friend will get the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! Dog Boarding (In My Home – Female Dogs Only) For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I only board female dogs. My Australian Shepherd has a strong personality, and keeping our home harmonious means I cannot accept male dogs. Female pups are always welcome, and they’ll receive lots of love, playtime, and cuddles in a safe, home environment. I work full-time from 8–5, but I’m happy to stop by during my lunch break for local drop-ins to take your sweet guy or girl out for a potty break, walk, or some love. I’m available after 5 PM, all day on Wednesdays, and all weekends. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to work with your pet’s routine whenever possible. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of love—whether in my home or yours. While I don’t have a yard yet, I live close to a dog park and provide plenty of walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and exercised. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, play, and downtime. Safety and comfort always come first, and I make sure pets get individual attention, affection, and enrichment. In your home, I respect your space while ensuring your pet feels secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Grace looked in on our cat Chester while we were away and did a great job. We especially loved the photos of him she took and it gave us great peace of mind knowing she was there to check in on him. Will definitely book again! Thanks so much, Grace!”
About: I've owned & cared for pets most of my life & can't imagine life without fur people in it! I love all of their different personalities! I am retired & am home to care for your fur babies!

“Melissa was fantastic to work with! She was able to gain so much tryst from my cat, Sapphire, who is very shy and scared of people she doesn't know. She even went above and beyond to get my cat out of a small crawl space in our attic so she could get her medicine! Thank you so much Melissa!”
“Nancy was fantastic! She was extremely flexible and accepted the drop in visits on short notice. The picture updates she sent put my anxiety to ease. I couldn’t have asked a better person to take care of my cat while away on vacation. 10/10!”
About: My experience with cats runs deep, from maintaining pristine cat areas during my shelter volunteer work to previously caring for my own special needs cat who required specific aromatherapy and lighting adjustments for his comfort. I understand how crucial a clean, calm environment is for feline wellbeing and recognize that each cat has unique preferences and routines. As a working professional who's cared for various pets throughout my life, I'll ensure your cat receives attentive, personalized care while staying comfortable in their familiar home environment.

“Buddy really enjoyed his time at Diane's-- She did an excellent job with him across the 4 days. She was communicative, sent photos and flexible with drop-off and pickup times. A perfect option for a few dog free days while visiting the Crosslake area. Will definitely reach out to her again!”
“It was immediately apparent that this was a family that loved animals. We felt very confident and comforted to have them care for our dogs. A delightful couple who have recused many animals and are very environmentally conscious. Great experience!”
“This is my first experience using Rover. My boyfriend and I were camping in Akeley and we needed a dog sitter for the day. Nancy was very communicative and sent pictures throughout the day. I do believe my dog, Holly, played hard because she is tired this evening. There were other dogs and they all seemed to get along well. I highly recommend Nancy.”

About: Hey there! My name is Jennifer, and I absolutely love animals! I have been lucky enough to have doggos in my home pretty much my whole life. I’ve also volunteered at rescues, so I have some experience with many different dog breeds, personalities, and temperaments. I specifically have experience with caring for short-nosed breeds, such as English and French bulldogs, pugs, etc and all that entails. Deaf dogs, senior dogs, medical dogs, puppies…. No problem! If you have to be out of the house, whether for work, vacation, or other commitments leaving your pet alone for a stretch, I’m available to make sure they get some attention and time outside while you do what you need to do! I’ll take care of your fur kiddos, so they feel loved and happy. We can go for a nice long walk to get some energy out, play fetch, or just bum around the house while I give your baby all my attention. I’ve had experience with dogs big and small, rescues who weren’t social with other dogs and needed to be walked away from other pups, giving medicine.... you name it! I’d be happy to take social dogs out to parks, or on longer stays, I’m happy to take your pup paddle boarding or kayaking if you’d like. As long as I know what you’d like for your pup, I’ll do everything in my power to make that happen. Thanks for stopping by! If my schedule is showing free, I am home and off work. Happy to swing by and help out with whatever pet care you need! I may be available other dates and times too, dependent on my work schedule. I am always cognizant of the environment when out with your pet, watching for other animals and making sure the pavement isn’t too hot in the warmer months. For the short-nosed breeds, limiting time out in the heat and making sure for plenty of water after!
About: Having spent my early years with our family dogs, I have come to an appreciation of the anxiety and work families go through in order to go on a trip without their beloved pets! Keeping your family pets in their own home reduces the stress on the family and the pet! We own a seasonal resort so we have limited availability for overnights June/July/August but are available for walking & attention throughout the day. Our resort is closed is mid-September through mid-May when we house-sit as well as care for our neighbors pets in their own home. Ideally we would like to meet the family and your pet before agreeing to home & pet sitting as we want a good match. Services offered: drop in care, pet walking, house sitting. Because we live in rural Minnesota, our fees reflect the additional transportation costs going to your home for services. When our seasonal resort is closed I am available most days and weekends. I have regular families on my schedule but only take one family reservation at a time. Prior to pet sitting in your home, I require meeting the owner and the pets. This will determine if we are a good match and the family can be confident your fur baby is well taken care.
About: I have a ton of experience training and caring for animals, mostly dogs, as I have 2 German Shepherds of my own. Both were trained and raised by me. I have always loved animals + taking care of them, and I also volunteer at a Horse Rescue Ranch when I have the time. I am also going to pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine !! Right now I am busy with High School Sports, so I am not working for an actual company at the moment but I will definitely have the time after school and on weekends! :) I have taken care of many pets for people while they are away or busy. I always treat them as my own, and make sure they get enough physical exercise along with just play time and or anything else.
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 house is a great place for dogs to stay in the Brainerd Lakes area, I have plenty of room in the house, and have 13 acres of wooded property for them to enjoy when we go outside! ***Fall 2023 update**** I now have a fenced in backyard to utilize with pups coming over to visit! 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.
