“Robert was the BEST Rover we have ever had!!! I cannot recommend him enough 😃 Our dog, Archie, had a great time staying with him and got lots of love, attention, and walkies 🐾 Robert sent such fun updates, pictures, and videos that we loved getting and made us smile so much while away from our little guy 🤍 We will definitely be booking with him anytime we need to board Archie again in the future. I would give him 10 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Erin was wonderful and provided updates with photos and video throughout our trip. Our dog seemed to have the best time. We will definitely use Erin again for future trips!”
“Kyle did a great job caring for our pup while we were out of town and was extremely prompt with all of our correspondence; including in our request to watch our pup, which really put us at ease! I definitely recommend him! :)”
“Rachel was a great sitter for our terrier, Pepper. We got updates and photos throughout the stay, which we appreciated. You can tell Rachel loves dogs and has multiple dog beds for her furry guests. Would def book again.”
“Susie was very welcoming and happy to host Archie! She has a great space and is very mindful of each dog's needs. Archie was exhausted after all of the playing. Thank you, Susie!”
“Lan did a great job caring for Martha and Susan! The picture update was appreciated, but girls looked very happy. Lan’s dog, Lucy, was adorable and friendly.”
“We have two high energy Standard Poodles - a 2 and a 1 year old - who stayed with Lisa for two nights. We booked this at the last minute because our original provider had to cancel. Lisa was great with our dogs even though they’d never met her before. She knows how to connect & establish a relationship - even with our timid one year old. Lisa communicates clearly about arrangements and sent us photos and videos too. We’ll happily use her again!”
“Excellent experience! J has a wonderful, calm home environment that was absolutely perfect for my elderly dog. He is highly communicative and took wonderful care of him. I will definitely book with him again!”
“I cannot recommend Megan and Michael enough! 5 stars doesn't do them justice. Murray was instantly at home with them and they gave him all the love, exercise, and snuggles. They were also great with giving us updates and pictures/videos. We will definitely reach out again in the future when Murray needs a sitter.”
“This is the second time we have worked with Betsy - we love the updates she sends and feel great knowing that she is taking good care of our dog while we are away!”
“Colleen and Joe were so wonderful to our little guy. He was with them for an extended stay while we were out of the country and they sent daily updates and photos, which really put us at ease. When we picked him up, we could tell he loved his stay with them and was right at home. We know Dezi can’t wait for future visits with his new friends.”
“Catherine was absolutely wonderful! This was Zuri's first time staying away from home and Catherine went above and beyond to make her feel at home. Catherine sent daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated, and lots of special treats and special love were given. Zuri also enjoyed having another dog to play with, as she is an only child. I would highly recommend Catherine and will definitely use her again.”
“Andrew was GREAT, and I would highly recommend him. Our Luna was very well taken of for the 7 nights she stayed with him, and we have zero complaints. Andrew was very organized, communicative, and has processes in place to introduce dogs to each other in a safe and supported way. Andrew has a great fenced in yard that the dogs got to spend a lot of time in. He was very easy to work with, and I would have no doubts about bringing Luna back there in the future.”
“Amy was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and trustworthy. We received multiple pictures while we were away and did not worry at all that our dog was both being cared for but also having fun. As a bonus, our dog was exhausted from playing when he got home and slept the entire day after his stay.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Kara and Adam. I have been consistently using their family for the past two years and have never had anything but great experiences. I always get a flood of pictures from Kara of her and her family loving on my dog. It is such a good feeling to see how excited my dog gets when we pull up to their house and makes leaving her for trips a little bit easier.”
“Kira and Alejandro were amazing with our dog! He stayed for a week in their home and seemed to have a very fun time. They sent many photos and updates throughout the stay which helped me feel at ease, and I would definitely recommend them for dog boarding and sitting needs!”
“An amazing second stay with Elsa and Nick! Enzo was living his best life (again) and truly didn’t want to leave when my husband picked him up. Thank you, team! Also - a quick note that Enzo’s behavior with strangers actually improved after his first stay with Elsa and Nick in April. He was much less anxious with new people at our house; an amazing byproduct of their wonderful care!”
“Timmothy is the All Star dog sitter! He is a good communicator for drop off/pick up times, he sends pictures and updates and overall just seems to really love our dog. He goes the extra mile and takes great photos and even prints them for us! He also sent our pup home with a new toy. This is not our first stay with Timmothy and will not be our last! We highly recommend Timmothy.”

“Claudio was amazing. Our cat was so happy with him! He made sure Charlie was loved and cared for, sent daily updates, and it was clear that Charlie was a happy kitty!”
“Larissa is caring and gentle with my dogs. She has exceptional communication. She handled a 8 week puppy and a 2 year old high energy GSD all within one visit and did an amazing job! I have great amount of trust in her, 10/10 recommend!”
“Sierra did a great job of showing up on time and caring for my kitty. I was really comfortable with her during our meet and greet, Peepers was too so I knew it would be a good fit. I will definitely look for Sierra’s availability next time I need to travel. Thanks!”
About: My name is Serenity, and I guarantee peace of mind when you leave your animals with me. I grew up on a farm and with a mother who adores animals. I've cared for all kinds of animals and have extensive experience with looking after their well-being and health. I love any animal from big dogs to baby kittens. I know that your pet is like family to you. If you choose me as a sitter, I can promise that they will be treated as family. I can work with rescues and special diets. I can bottle feed and help with disabled animals as well. Not only am I able to look after your animals with the care that is necessary, I can also ensure the loving environment any animal deserves :)
About: With over 8 years of experience in animal care, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, rats, and even lizards! I’m confident handling pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions who need a bit of extra TLC. I also have experience administering medications like pills, topical creams, and pet inhalers. I’m always happy to learn your pet’s unique routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m a student at the University of Minnesota and love spending my free time caring for animals. While my weekday schedule is limited due to classes and work, I’m fully available on Fridays and weekends and would be happy to dedicate that time to pet care. I look forward to meeting new pets and giving them the attention they deserve! Since I care for pets in their own homes, I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I stick to their usual routine—whether that means walks, meals, playtime, or meds—whatever they need to feel at ease. I know how important it is to have someone you trust in your home, so I’m always respectful of your space and do my best to leave things just as I found them (or better!). I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured while you're away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and try to make the time you're gone as stress-free as possible for both of you.
“This was our first experience using Rover. Thank you for making it so easy. Macy S was the best! She was so polite and conscientious. She sent the cutest pictures of our cats warming up to her and it made us feel relieved they were safe so we could enjoy our time away from them. Overall very positive experience. Would use Rover again.”
About: Emmy has helped take care of cats for a few different households. She believes in spending a little extra time with them so they feel loved and like they've received attention. She will be supervised by a parent at all times to make sure we provide everything that is needed foI am the primary caregiver and will personally handle all aspects of your cat's care, including feeding, litter box maintenance, medication administration (if needed), and ensuring they receive plenty of attention and affection. My 10-year-old daughter loves cats and may accompany me during some visits. She enjoys spending extra time playing with and socializing cats, always under my direct supervision. Our goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.
About: 🐱 I’ve been around cats for most of my life and currently have two of my own. I found my emotional support cat in 2015, and he’s been by my side ever since- even traveling with me through college. In December 2024, I adopted another sweet girl cat, so caring for cats has become a huge part of my everyday life. I also volunteer at a shelter as a “Cat Buddy,” where I spend time socializing and caring for cats with all kinds of personalities and comfort levels. Over the years, I’ve developed a really special connection with cats and genuinely love earning their trust, whether they’re playful, shy, independent, or super affectionate. I know every cat is different, and I always try to make them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away through patience, attention, play, and companionship.
“Abigail was wonderful with my boys, and very communicative each time she dropped in to care for them. It was a holiday week so I was very happy to have gotten her booked.”
“Elizabeth did a great job with our pup! She kept us updated the entire time with lots of details and pictures. It was comforting knowing Elizabeth was treating Bo like her own while we were away. She approached separation anxiety with nothing but compassion and patience. Thank you Elizabeth for such a great experience!! :)”
“Jessica took great care of my cat! She was on time with her visit and communicated when there were issues or questions. My cat seemed to really enjoy the visits from Jessica as well.”
“Sonia was AMAZING! Our cats are usually a little scared of new people but after the second visit, they both came out to get pets from her. Sonia was very communicative, kind, and really loves animals. I recommend her to any cat owners, and I will definitely use her services again. 10/10”
“Chloe was a superb dog sitter! We are so grateful she could stop in to care for our senior dog when we needed extra support. Would totally have Chloe back again.”
About: Growing up with 2 dogs, I know the amount of pure joy and giggles all doggies bring to families! I grew up with 2 little Dachshund (wiener) Dogs named Frankie and Lily! They were both so smart and oddly enough thought they could fly! They knew every night at exactly 9pm it was officially SNACK time! As they both aged, I spent much time carrying them up/down stairs, walking them and bringing them to appts such as Vet, Chiro and other therapies. There is no greater experience than coming home to your best friend wagging their tail. My main job is supporting the deaf/hard of hearing in the twin cities. My work experience allows me to get a sense of my surroundings quickly. I have experience house sitting, walking dogs and also taking dogs to vet/grooming appointments. Now I have 2 fur babies Highlander cats, Gracie and Fynn. ❤️ can’t believe I lived so long without my kitty cats!!

“As always, my dog had an amazing time with Kara and Adam! They are so sweet and she always is exhausted when she gets back to me. Her kids are so kind to Jovi and I always look forward to seeing all the pictures Kara and Adam take! Thanks again!”
“Lincoln had such a great time with Nathan and his family. He came home very tired and slept the rest of the evening. He went for a walk and played with the kids. As a young dog it was great exposure for him. I would definitely take him back next time I need a sitter. Thanks Nathan.”
“Kira and Alejandro are wonderful with my dog Atlas! They spent lots of time outside with him today and he had a blast playing with another dog. I know he’s in really good hands every time I leave him with them! He comes back home much better adjusted than when I drop him at the noisy dog daycare place which can often overstimulate him.”
About: I keep my home boarding low-key and personalized by welcoming only one dog, or two from the same family, at a time. So your pup will enjoy plenty of one-on-one love, play, and attention in a calm, peaceful environment where they can truly relax and feel at home. Working from home in a dog-friendly condo in Columbia Heights, I’m available all day for frequent potty breaks, companionship, and checkins. There’s no private yard, but there’s a nice shared yard with plenty of green just downstairs for some outdoor time, and we can easily do neighborhood walks. As a former puggle owner, I took care of my little Snuggles all the way through her senior years until she was 13+, so I have experience and can care for dogs at every life stage, including daily care and routine, bathing, training, administering medicine when needed, and handling their specific needs as they get older. I recently had to put my own puggle down, and while I still miss her, I have been enjoying puppy kisses from the dogs I watch, and I love sharing that same attentive care with other pups who need a cozy and reliable place to stay. My setup includes comfortable dog beds, a kennel for secure rest if needed, doggy bowls for fresh water and meals, and soft blankets for cozy napping. If your dog needs someone who’s home constantly and would do walks on a nice day, let’s do a meet & greet! I work from home most days, so I’m available all day for the pups, extra potty breaks, daytime and evening walks, play, and companionship. Once every two weeks, I may be out for a few hours at the office. I’ll coordinate ahead of time, give updates, and make sure your dog is settled. On Saturdays, I’m less flexible for check-in and check-out due to volunteer work (away for half the day). I usually let dogs roam free in the condo. They can follow me everywhere if they want, which most enjoy for that constant company. I can crate your dog if needed (for naps, meals, or if they’re more comfortable that way).
“Ellen was AMAZING. She was so kind and caring and did a great job watching our pug, Yoshi! Ellen was very thoughtful and thorough for our meet and greet and I felt very comfortable having her watch our pet for the first time. We GREATLY appreciate her willingness to take Yoshi last minute! We would definitely recommend Ellen and look forward to more visits in the future!”
“Fernanda took great care of our dog. He was a little anxious because he had been traveling for several weeks and in lots of new places. She noticed his anxiety, and took him out in her yard to play. Perfect. He even ate a meal with her without needing special feeding (which he’d been struggling to do in new surroundings). Fernanda was easy to work with and a great communicator. I’d definitely use Fernanda again next time we’re in town.”
“Karen and Ryan were fantastic caregivers for our senior dog, Kurt. Great communication before and during the visit. Beautiful home with a wonderful fenced yard. Super flexible with drop off and pick up times. Very friendly and professional. Kurt loved his three days with them. I highly recommend Karen and Ryan for your pet-sitting needs in Minneapolis.”
“We needed help watching our dog during the day while moving and Sally was great! I got multiple very cute updates of him each day and it seemed like he had a great time playing and running in the backyard. She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times.”
About: I grew up with a house full of pets. From cats to dogs, to birds. My dad was a animal lover, and so am I. I would love the opportunity to care for your fury friend. From walks, to fetch, and cuddles and pets. I am currently unemployed, I have free time throughout the day, every day. Reach out with your needs and I will get back to you promptly! I have two cats and a medium sized rescue dog. My cats grew up around large dogs so they took no time adjusting. I have trained my rescue to become an inside housed pup, he has learned a lot of manners.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, parrots and fish. Growing up there was Nothing better than coming home and caring for my pets. Growing up I always wanted to work with animals and although life took me in another direction professionally, by taking care of the pets of friends and family, I was able to incorporate that desire into my daily life. As an experienced Pet sitter I will use my passion for animals to ensure your pet is well taken care of as well to ensure a fun time for your pet and me. I have had the opportunity as a teenager and through college to use my time to pet sit as a side hustle. And the way that I see it not only was a way to make some money but a great stress relief. During this time, I walked dogs, went to pet owners houses to feed them and have them over for a fun time. I currently work from home and I'm available 24/7 to care for your pet by having them over or by going to your place of preference. I'm open nights, weekends or holidays. And I accept same day or emergency requests. I live in a spacious loft apartment surrounded by plenty of green space for a walk on a leash and also a gated space for dogs to run. I offer being a dog walker at my place or at your place if you prefer. I'm also a fan of pictures if your furry friend likes and sending them over to the pet owner if desired.
“Lucy, our 1yo lab/shepherd mix loved staying with Lydia! Lydia sent photos and updates, so we felt like we knew how things were going. We appreciate that she was well cared for while we were unavailable.”
“Takenya waa excellent with our dog and went up and beyond with the care. And she was great about Sending pictures and videos. She is excellent with dogs. You can tell from the minute she meet her that she loves animals. She helped us out on short notice We recommend her highly.”
About: I set the intention of pet care to being a friend to your pet and partner to you. I respect boundaries and priorities as needed. I currently work flexible hours throughout the week based off clientele. This would be an addition to my job as some days I have the entire day off or atleast half of it. Your pet always comes first. I take care of others pets like I’d expect a stranger to walk in and take care of mine. I want to leave with the intention that if I were to come back, your pet would open the door.
“Cleo had a great time with Timmothy!! I loved his updates through the day and he asked many questions beforehand to make sure he understood how to care for her :)”
About: Hi! I’m Noah and I have 15 years of experience with all sorts of dogs. I grew up with dogs of all sizes, from Great Danes to miniature dachshunds. My favorite part of being around dogs is playing with them, seeing their happy faces, and getting to experience nature with them. While I’ve never had a cat to call my own, I have played with and taken care of many cats over the years! I am currently a dog dad to a three-year old energetic dachshund and a German Shepherd mix puppy! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I work from home and am generally available after 4:30pm or before 7:30am, but I can be flexible! I live in an area with access to convenient walking trails and parks. Your pet’s safety, security, and health are my top priorities. I understand the trust you're placing in me to care for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously.
“Lindsey and her family were so great! They took care of my 5 month old puppy for the day and treated her so well. Gave her lots of play time and walks and sent many updates with pictures. 10/10 would recommend them to take care of your pup!”
“Abby was great with my pup, Belle! She made sure Belle got 2 long walks during the day and sent lots of pictures. She communicated quickly to all my questions and texts. Looking forward to booking her again! Thanks Abby!!”
“Emilie was so good to my dog, Walter. I felt really comfortable leaving her with him for the whole day. She sent tons of pictures of him while I was at work and said he played all day -- which was perfect! I'm definitely going to be rebooking in the future. :-) Walter was pooped once we got home.”

Not only am I able to look after your animals with the care that is necessary, I can also ensure the loving environment any animal deserves :) I am a college student who has lots of extra time this summer. I recently moved states and I deeply miss my own pet family; for that reason I plan on working with animals as much as possible. Tell me what you need, I'll work with you! I don't plan on hosting because I live in an apartment, however I am very respectful of spaces that aren't mine. If you need me to watch your babies over night, I promise I'll treat your space with as much respect as my own- even if your pet makes a mess, you wouldn't be able to tell because I'd clean it asap!
About: I’m an Animal Science graduate and I train service dogs with Can Do Canines, so I have a lot of experience working with dogs in different environments and understanding their behavior and needs. I’ve worked with puppies, high-energy dogs, and older pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m very attentive to body language and routines, and I always try to make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I also grew up with dogs and have hands-on experience raising and training my own family pets—including a feisty dachshund puppy who I helped train into a gentle, well-behaved dog, along with two other dogs with strong obedience and great temperaments. My background means I naturally reinforce good habits, use positive reinforcement, and keep things consistent with what your pet already knows. I truly love spending time with animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them some extra attention and cuddles. After graduating from UMN, I’ll be working part-time at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Roseville (around 20 hours per week). My schedule varies slightly week to week, but this also gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care. Outside of my shifts, I have a wide availability and love filling my time caring for pets. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can often accommodate mornings, evenings, weekends, and extended stays. I currently provide care in clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable in their own environment and routine. I always take the time to learn your pet’s schedule, preferences, and any specific instructions so I can keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible. Safety is my top priority. I’m very attentive to surroundings on walks and in the home, and always monitor pets closely. With my background training service dogs, I’m confident handling a variety of behaviors and situations calmly and responsibly. I also have experience administering medications, including oral, topical, and injectable medications, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions when needed. I respect your home as if it were my own, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and communicate as much as you’d like so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: Hi! I'm an animal lover who provides attentive, reliable pet care. As the adult account holder and caregiver, I will be responsible for all aspects of your pet's care, including walks, feeding, medication administration (if needed), and supervision. I also have a 10-year-old daughter who loves animals and may occasionally accompany me during walks or visits. Because of this, I ask that pets be comfortable around respectful, animal-savvy children. My daughter's presence is always supervised by me, and your pet's safety and well-being remain my top priority. I look forward to getting to know you and your furry family member! I work long days Mondays through Wednesdays but have more flexibility outside of that. Can accommodate before and after work visits. I love long walks! I cannot care for pets in our home but can come to you! Your pet MUST be kid friendly in case my 10 year old comes with!
About: I have 23 years of pet ownership experience (cats, reptiles, and a simple fish tank). I also have a bit of volunteer experience training service dogs and have taken care of friends' pets while they're away. I work my other job from home and determine my own hours, so my schedule is generally very flexible. I have a weekday evening commitment a couple times a week, but I can easily work around that two hour block of time. I love animals and will do everything I can to take care of yours as if they're my own. Let's discuss medical needs before booking, and I will make sure I have your vet's information in case of emergencies. I require a meet & greet for first time bookings. This is a complimentary visit to meet your animals, learn the routines, and ask each other any questions we need to make sure they get the best care.
About: Caring for dogs since age 10, I grew up fostering pets and have experience with dogs, cats, and different personalities, providing loving, attentive, reliable care. I am available for Rover pet care services on most days of the week with a flexible and reliable routine. I can provide care in the mornings, mid-day, and evenings from Monday through Tuesday and Thursday through Sunday, making it easy to meet pets’ feeding, exercise, and companionship needs throughout the day. On Wednesdays, I am available in the morning and evening but unavailable during the afternoon, so care on that day would be adjusted to ensure pets receive attention before and after that time. I prioritize safe, respectful, and reliable care when looking after pets in their owner’s home. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, and daily routines, to ensure pets feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I also take great care to keep the home secure by locking doors, monitoring pets closely, and preventing any potential escape or hazards. Cleanliness is important to me, so I maintain tidy feeding areas, litter boxes, and living spaces while ensuring anything unsafe is kept out of reach. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being, watching for any signs of stress or illness and keeping owners updated with regular communication. Above all, I respect each home and its rules, providing a calm, safe, and loving environment so pets can feel happy and secure in their familiar space.
About: Hi! My name is Murwat, and I’m a student at the University of Minnesota with years of experience caring for and working with dogs of all personalities and backgrounds. For several years, I volunteered at an animal shelter where I spent time walking, running with, and socializing dogs who came from many different situations. Some were energetic puppies, some were shy or anxious, and others had experienced difficult environments before arriving at the shelter. This taught me how important patience, consistency, and understanding each dog as an individual truly are. During my time volunteering, other volunteers often noticed my ability to connect with dogs who needed extra patience. I especially enjoyed earning the trust of dogs who were nervous, overwhelmed, or full of energy. I learned how to give them space, recognize their comfort levels, and build a relationship at their pace. I’m also a longtime runner and love being active, so I’m happy to provide anything from relaxed walks to longer, energetic outings depending on your dog’s needs. Whether your dog loves adventure, needs a little encouragement, or just wants companionship, my goal is to make them feel safe, cared for, and understood while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pet! 🐾 As a college student and longtime runner, staying active is already a big part of my daily routine. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks, and fitting movement into my day, so pet care naturally fits into my lifestyle. My schedule allows me flexibility throughout the week, and I enjoy using that time to give dogs the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s a calm walk, playtime, or helping a high-energy dog get their energy out, I love making pet care a meaningful part of my routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I follow all owner instructions regarding feeding schedules, diets, medications, house rules, and any specific needs their pet may have. I provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and companionship depending on each pet’s routine and energy level. I also make sure to respect the client’s home by keeping their space clean and secure.
About: As a college student working from home, I offer a flexible and caring pet care service tailored to your furry friend's needs. With a lifetime of experience owning dogs and cats of all breeds and temperaments, including seniors, I'm comfortable with any number of animals. I'm particularly familiar with breeds like Boxers, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Beagles. Having cared for dogs with allergies, I'm very sensitive to dietary needs and restrictions. Plus, my flexible work-from-home schedule means I can accommodate almost any request. I have a history of leaving furry friends sad to see me go, and I promise to give your pet the same love and attention! I work from home and it is a very flexible job so I can provide service services at pretty much anytime any day of the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I strictly follow your pet's routine, medical needs, and dietary instructions to ensure a stress-free environment. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and communicate exclusively through the Rover app to keep all details secure.

About: I have CPR training, years of caretaking and medication administration experience, and a lifetime of loving on pets of all ages and sizes. Informal pet sitting has also been a part of my routine for many years. I have lots of free time this summer, and have many pockets of availability throughout the school year beginning in September, so I am happy to set up longer term relationships. I have a completely fenced yard, one friendly cat at home, and only a few steps for older dogs to handle. I am happy to follow any crazy routine you and your pet have!
“Madisen has been so wonderful with my dogs! I trust her completely to take great care of them. She keeps me updated and sends lots of adorable photos too. I’d recommend her to anyone!”
About: We LOVE dogs and have a city sized house full of people that love giving them attention! We have 2 school age children but are home full time in the summer with a good sized fenced backyard and our own friendly pups, Oli and Lulu. I (Kara) grew up always having a dog in the family, and as soon as I could, I acquired one of my own. I've learned that dogs need people, but people need dogs just as much. All this to say, we can't imagine a world without these furry little companions! With many attentive people in our household, your dog will never have needs unmet. Whether it be snuggles, toys, pets, walks, playtimes, food... be assured we can handle it! We can't wait to meet your dog! We both work in education, so our summers are very open & flexible and offer so many opportunities for dog walks, dog parks, pet cuddles, etc. We have a fenced back yard and get on many outings with our own high energy dog. We do on long walks daily and often to the off leash dog park (if your dog is licensed in Minneapolis).
About: I’ve provided pet sitting and care for multiple dogs, and cats including feeding, walking, and maintaining routines for friends, family and even people around my neighborhood. I’ve loved animals since childhood, and even had my own lab for 16 years who I loved to the moon and back but sadly passed away late 2024. I know older animals require a certain level of attention and care. I love staying active, and high energy animals and I get along great! I do not mind larger animals. I have consistent availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with additional flexible availability throughout the week depending on my schedule. I’m great with planning ahead and keeping a reliable routine with my clients! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. I maintain feeding schedules, regular walks, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and stress-free. In clients’ homes, I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I always aim to keep their environment calm, consistent, and familiar. I also provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hi! my name Juliana. As an experienced pet caretaker, I have the knowledge and skills that make me the perfect choice for taking care of your pet! I have taken care of both family and friend’s pets ( cats and dogs) and I understand the importance of providing attentive and loving care to make sure they are comfortable and happy. As a Dachshund owner myself, I know how important it is to follow routines and keep in mind specific needs. You can trust that I will provide your furry friend/child with the same level of care and attention that I give my own. Currently my schedule is limited because I don’t work from home, except for Fridays. Therefore, I’m available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for walks and drop ins. I can easy walk your dog and provide the exercise they need around the North Loop / Downtown Minneapolis area. For cat owners, I can provide visits to make sure food and litter are taken care of. Additionally, I volunteer at Minneapolis Animal Care & Control with both cats and dogs, which has helped me to understand behaviors and how to manage difficult situations.
About: I’ve taken care of cats my whole life, from kittens to seniors, and since I was 12 I’ve watched my friends and neighbors dogs as well. I’ve given both cats and dogs medication as well as bottle fed them if they were too young for solid food. I have an incredibly flexible hybrid work schedule! Whatever you or your pets needs, I will be able to meet them without any work conflicts. You know your pet better than anyone. Whatever instructions you give me to keep them safe, happy, and healthy, I promise to follow exactly. I love animals and my schedule is very flexible, so whenever your needs are, I will do my absolute best to meet them!
“Laura has been excellent - you can tell she loves animals! She is great with the dog that she walks for us. She is dependable, great with communicating and responses!”
“Emily took great care of our dogs! She was on time for our meet and greet and made sure she got to know both Pete and Rosie. When she came to walk the dogs, she was able to get Rosie outside and down the road (which is a big accomplishment with a timid, blind dog)! We definitely would recommend Emily.”

“Robert was the BEST Rover we have ever had!!! I cannot recommend him enough 😃 Our dog, Archie, had a great time staying with him and got lots of love, attention, and walkies 🐾 Robert sent such fun updates, pictures, and videos that we loved getting and made us smile so much while away from our little guy 🤍 We will definitely be booking with him anytime we need to board Archie again in the future. I would give him 10 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Kyle did a great job caring for our pup while we were out of town and was extremely prompt with all of our correspondence; including in our request to watch our pup, which really put us at ease! I definitely recommend him! :)”
“Susie was very welcoming and happy to host Archie! She has a great space and is very mindful of each dog's needs. Archie was exhausted after all of the playing. Thank you, Susie!”
“We have two high energy Standard Poodles - a 2 and a 1 year old - who stayed with Lisa for two nights. We booked this at the last minute because our original provider had to cancel. Lisa was great with our dogs even though they’d never met her before. She knows how to connect & establish a relationship - even with our timid one year old. Lisa communicates clearly about arrangements and sent us photos and videos too. We’ll happily use her again!”
“Excellent experience! J has a wonderful, calm home environment that was absolutely perfect for my elderly dog. He is highly communicative and took wonderful care of him. I will definitely book with him again!”
“Catherine was absolutely wonderful! This was Zuri's first time staying away from home and Catherine went above and beyond to make her feel at home. Catherine sent daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated, and lots of special treats and special love were given. Zuri also enjoyed having another dog to play with, as she is an only child. I would highly recommend Catherine and will definitely use her again.”
“Andrew was GREAT, and I would highly recommend him. Our Luna was very well taken of for the 7 nights she stayed with him, and we have zero complaints. Andrew was very organized, communicative, and has processes in place to introduce dogs to each other in a safe and supported way. Andrew has a great fenced in yard that the dogs got to spend a lot of time in. He was very easy to work with, and I would have no doubts about bringing Luna back there in the future.”
“Amy was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and trustworthy. We received multiple pictures while we were away and did not worry at all that our dog was both being cared for but also having fun. As a bonus, our dog was exhausted from playing when he got home and slept the entire day after his stay.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Kara and Adam. I have been consistently using their family for the past two years and have never had anything but great experiences. I always get a flood of pictures from Kara of her and her family loving on my dog. It is such a good feeling to see how excited my dog gets when we pull up to their house and makes leaving her for trips a little bit easier.”
“Kira and Alejandro were amazing with our dog! He stayed for a week in their home and seemed to have a very fun time. They sent many photos and updates throughout the stay which helped me feel at ease, and I would definitely recommend them for dog boarding and sitting needs!”
“Timmothy is the All Star dog sitter! He is a good communicator for drop off/pick up times, he sends pictures and updates and overall just seems to really love our dog. He goes the extra mile and takes great photos and even prints them for us! He also sent our pup home with a new toy. This is not our first stay with Timmothy and will not be our last! We highly recommend Timmothy.”
“Our dog Bug had an amazing time staying with Martha and Eric. They were so sweet to him and sent lots of photos and video updates. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“The whole family loves animals and knows how to keep a happy calm household. The fenced in yard has shade and places to play and explore. The human family can watch the canine family through the patio door too.”
“We loved having our dog stay with Brenda and her family. We will definitely use them again. She sent pictures every day,veas an excellent communicator and my dog was playing with her dogs when I came to pick him up. A+ experience! Thanks Brenda!”
“Promise took such great care of my dog, Toro! I received multiple VERY cute photos and videos throughout his stay and he looked like he was having a great time. He loves other dogs and was delighted to get to play with other dogs Promise was caring for. We will definitely bring Toro to her again next time we need a sitter!”
“Dave was amazing! We left our 2 dogs with him over thanksgiving. He gave daily updates with photos and answered any questions super quickly. We have one dog selective dog and he made sure to make him comfortable and not have to interact with any. Our other dog is a flight risk and he made sure she never got out of his yard. I think the dogs enjoyed their vacation as much as we did. We will for sure use Dave anytime he has availability!”
“Hannah is amazing! We've left our girl with her twice now, and she took really good care of her and adapted to her needs for 100%! Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back ❤️”
