“Finley seemed so happy and calm when we picked him up that I knew he wasn’t stressed while we were away. He got to be outside just as much as he does at home. We don’t travel north often but would be glad to send him back ☺️”
“Kari was super easy to set everything up with! She was great with our dogs! One of our dogs rarely eats when we board her but she ate for Kari! They both came home happy and tired girls! Highly recommend!”
“Amanda went above and beyond when my 1 yo German Shepherd had a few episodes of diarrhea while in her care. Truly a blessing to have her caring for my puppy during this. Can't thank her enough.”
“This is the second time we have booked a stay with Andrea and we will definitely be coming back. My dog seems to like staying here! Andrea easily handles a special (quirky) diet. It was great to get a daily photo and update. Drop off and pick up were flexible. I’m so glad we discovered this sitter!”
“Emily and her family took the BEST care of our dog, Archie. They made Archie feel right at home. I was sent pictures that showed just how comfortable Archie was, he was happy and truly, living his best life!! Emily's family dog, Maggie, was so sweet and the two dogs really seemed to get along well. I would absolutely recommend Emily for your pet's stay. Her and her family were SO kind and easy to communicate with, very prompt and helpful. This was our first "Rover" experience and I feel so fortunate we found this wonderful family.”
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.
“Brandi and family is amazing ? We were invited away for the weekend last minute and Brandi was so accommodating with only one day notice. She was very communicative, sent pictures, and took great care of our 14 year old fur baby. Thanks so much, Brandi!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Laura to care for Willie for six nights while I brought my kids to college out of state! Willie may be little, but he’s a big spoiled baby. Laura and her family gave him just what he needed: lots of love, snuggles, walks, play, and nap time! I lived for her daily texts and photos which assured me that I had made the right choice to have him at Laura’s. No question, this will not be the first time that Willie stays at Laura’s when I have to go out of town.”
“My dog had a blast during her stay here. She got lots of exercise and cuddles. Please consider if you are looking for a caring home environment for your dog when you are away.”
“Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.”
“I have nothing but great things to say about our experience with Ana and her family! She was great at giving me updates and photos of how things were going for my baby Arlo! I definitely recommend them and I will be using Ana and her family whenever I need someone to take care of Arlo again!”
“Kristen and her family took amazing care of our almost 9-year-old Goldendoodle. He was given lots of love and attention and all his needs were tended to. I would definitely recommend Kristen’s services. We will be using her services again!”
“Regan did a FANTASTIC job watching my Molly! Molly can be a little timid meeting new people but immediately became friends with Regan. She loved running around the backyard with Luna and Maya. It was so comforting knowing that Molly was not only being taking care of but also being loved like one of her own pets. I received daily updates and pictures of all the fun Molly was having. I will definitely use Regan again!”
“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”

About: I've had cats in my life since I was a baby and care for 3 of my own. My cat Luna who has now passed was THAT animal in my life, if you know what I mean. I raised her from 3 weeks old and taught her to play fetch, do some basic commands, and to walk on a leash. She needed me to give her milk for several weeks, and care for her 24/7 when she came into my life. So I am no stranger to special needs cats/kittens. I've even provided end of life care to my grandmother's cat which included injections and oral medication and cleaning her body when she had accidents. So whether you need me to come cuddle your purr baby, give them a walk, help raise kittens while you're away on a work trip, play, or even scoop litter for an extra fee, I will be there, enthusiastically, to provide the upmost care for your cat.
“Amy is so sweet and attentive to our precious kitten. We feel so much better knowing she is there giving him plenty of love in our absence. She also is so great with grabbing packages, letting us know about household things and is so dependable. Highly recommend!”
“Heidi is kind, professional and very responsive! We asked Heidi to check in on our cat. Our cat is selective with people and can be sassy and unsure about new people. Heidi was patient and calm with her and did everything we asked and more to make our cat as comfortable as possible while we were away. We plan to book with Heidi again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats, of all ages, my entire life. Spending time and caring for them is therapeutic to me!

“Bailey was great! She visited early every morning to take care of my cat while I was a week for work. She hung out with him and sent me a photo each morning which I appreciated. No frills, wonderful work!”
About: Hello, my name is Allie and it's safe to say that I love dogs. I work at a dog daycare so I have experience with a lot of different breeds and temperaments. My speciality is working with the shy terrified dogs. When it comes to walking dogs I do have experience with gentle leaders and double leashing. I have a Vizsla puppy and a Chihuahua. The two of them have taught me how to be extremely active and mellow at the same time. My schedule is fairly flexible throughout the week and weekends. Before working with dogs I worked at a group home. That experience gave me the ability to pay attention to the littlest details and to have fast reflexes. I also have experience passing medication (convincing dogs that it's not awful). I would love to be your fury friends friend.

About: I’ve taken care of cats from various backgrounds since my childhood. Friends and family have often entrusted me to take care of their felines while out of town. Additionally, I’ve fostered several cats and kittens that have passed through my home and worked with our feline friends in a veterinary setting. I’m confident in working with cats of many personalities and am comfortable with all ages.
About: I’ve been around cats for many years through friends and family and am very comfortable caring for them. I understand that every cat has a different personality and I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. I’m also experienced caring for my own dog, so I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure animals feel safe and cared for.
About: I have two kitties currently and I treat them as my children. I love spending time with cats, snuggles and play time are the best! My very first kitty was blind in one eye, she didn't have any trouble with this deformity, in my opinion it made her even more charming! I would treat your fur babies as if they were my own!

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I've taken care of all types of pets from a very young age. Whether it be a tiny chihuahua to a sizeable Bullmastiff, a cat, birds including chickens, reptiles, fish, even small furry friends like rabbits or ferrets. I have adored and been fascinated by animals my whole life and am up for any challenge you throw at me. I've personally trained my dog to follow voiceless hand signal commands and he is also special needs, so caring for a senior or special needs animal is a breeze for me! I've even provided end of life care for my grandmother's cat, which included administering fluids via injection, so don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Not to mention that I have experience raising young kittens and squirrels at milk drinking ages! I am available from 7am to 5pm Monday through Friday and overnights on Fridays and Saturdays. I could possibly do extended overnight stays in my own home if your pet is dog, cat, and young child friendly. Whether it be for a walk, potty break, comfort while you're away, socializing and training your puppy basic commands (and maybe a few tricks), or even just taking your furry friend out for a pup cup and to a sniff spot, I'm the gal for you. I will even provide litter or doggy doo doo cleanup for an additional price. Your pet will always be safe and loved in my hands. I am currently in between jobs, and my kiddos go to daycare from 7am-5pm M-F, so I am available to help between those times, or overnights at your house on Fridays and Saturdays. I could be purr-suaded to do extended overnight stays at my house if your feline is cat, dog, and young child friendly. If I am caring in my home, I have 3 cats-all fixed- a special needs male dog who is NOT fixed due to medical reasons, and two kids under the age of 5. If you choose to keep your pet at my home, they need to be able to get along with them or be kept in a separate room. If you have a female dog, they would need to be fixed with proof of spay. My special needs dog has no business procreating! I have a large home and a decent sized yard with a tie-out cable so that your pet can explore my whole backyard safely without fear of taking off. I also have a screened in porch that I often let the cats roam in during the nicer months. I have a Honda CR-V, so I can keep decently large dogs in the car as well for transport or in case of emergency. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will cuddle, play, exercise, and feed & water them to their hearts content. I will ask however for an extra fee to pick up any dog poo or clean litter boxes.
“Amanda is an AMAZING dog sitter! She took such good care of our puppy. I was so nervous to leave my puppy for the first time but Amanda did a great job keeping me informed on her day and made me very comfortable. Will definitely be going here again!”
“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!”
About: I bring comprehensive animal care experience enriched by formal education in veterinary technology, combining hands-on caregiving with a strong foundation in animal health and medical knowledge. Over several years, I have provided attentive and compassionate care to a diverse range of animals including dogs, cats, small mammals, and birds. My kid's dad and me are responsible animal lovers. Our family always has someone at home loving and caring for our dog and two cats. Our home has plenty of love to go around! I have a big backyard for our dog to play. He is fed in the morning and evening and let out as often as he wants. Our cats are indoor cats that are well taken care with a litter box cleaned twice a day.
“Our very senior dog (18 years old) Gizmo is a frequent visitor at Laura's. Laura and her family take excellent care of him. She provides photos and updates on how he is doing. Above all else, it is evident he loves coming coming here. He makes himself at home from the moment he arrives!”

“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!”
About: Hi! I’m Megan, and I’ve spent years working hands-on with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a strong background in pet care, including working as a dog trainer for both group classes and private clients, as well as experience in dog daycare, boarding, and veterinary settings. I’ve cared for dogs in many environments and I’m comfortable handling everything from basic care to more behavior-focused needs. I have experience reading dog body language and helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve been extensively involved in rescue work as a foster home and running a shelter behavior group of volunteers so I’m especially patient with reactive, anxious, or higher-needs dogs. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and tailoring care to what works best for them. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, you can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care—just like I would for my own. I’m currently a stay at home mom and so I am able to be flexible in most cases. Evenings and weekends will be my most available times! I have two dogs of my own who are very used to new animals coming and going. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but do have tie outs or can leash walk any pets at my home. Every animal has different needs, so I will do my best to figure out what sleeping arrangements make them the most comfortable during their stay (I have kennels of every size so people do not need to bring theirs back and forth unless they prefer to). I’m well versed in methods of calming for pets that might be nervous. I do have a 6 month old infant at home who is very used to dogs, but any pets coming in to my home would need to be safe and comfortable around her.
About: I have fostered both dogs and cats in the past. From childhood to the present day, a home is not complete without some form of animal companion. I tend to be an early riser and am very flexible. Cleaning up after myself as well as your pets is my specialty. I enjoy camping and antiquing when there’s no critters to hang out with. I am familiar with many types of leash and collar. I prefer to keep a dog heeled on most of the walk, letting them run and play when it’s appropriate to do so. If you have a preferred method of control I’m happy to accommodate. I’m comfortable giving meds and have experience with all kinds of feeding. When sitting, I’d love to water your plants and get the mail-any little extras that you need. I often take my dad shopping or to doctor’s appointments, and set my own schedule with my other jobs. How long your pets can be left alone (if at all) is up to you! I’m great at following orders, especially written instructions; please tell me how you usually handle your pets so I can keep it consistent for them! I like to go for walks, and like it even more if I have company. I also always enjoy a good snuggle.
“Our dog is an energetic dog that also needs some supervising and Tracy’s place was a great doggy daycare spot for his needs! She has a big fenced in yard that he can run around in, and dogs that he can play with! Would recommend”
About: We have loved dogs our entire lives and have cared for our own for over 7 years. Our house is filled with love and lots of toys to play with as well as a big fenced yard! One of us will be at home at all times and our big yard allows for frequent potty breaks and running around burning off energy We treat all dogs as if they are our own and know our two dogs will get along with every other dog. We have used sitters ourselves and know the importance of trusting them

About: I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on their individual needs, routines, and personalities. I'm dependable, attentive, and communicate openly with owners, ensuring peace of mind while they’re away. Whether it's extra playtime, careful attention to health needs, or simply being a calming presence, I go above and beyond to make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine I plan my days around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special needs a pet may have. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I make sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Their well-being is always a top priority in my schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet friendly environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I stick closely to their usual routines, offer plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor walks, and make sure they have a cozy space to rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to keep pets in a familiar, low-stress environment. I focus on maintaining their normal schedule, giving them lots of love and engagement, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages.
“Kate, John & Cash were wonderful. They go the extra mile to work with you, are skilled & attentive in working with active dogs. Kate & John sent great pictures. It was wonderful that my dog could run in their long, fenced in back yard, wrestle & play tug of war with their dog. Book with them!”
About: Dogs have been my passion since my earliest memories. When I was a young girl, I was always training my family and friends dogs. I also would take care of my friends dogs when needed. I started to get involved with dog sports around the age of 12. In addition to this, I trained my dog to be a therapy dog. When I was 16 I started to volunteer at the Animal Humane Society in Golden Valley for a few years before going to college. I graduated from the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities with a degree in Communications and a minor in Leadership. Along the way, I took many classes to learn more about animal behavior and psychology. However, once I graduated, I was at a loss of what to pursue. It was during this time when I stumbled into working for Invisible Fence as a dog trainer. I found my true passion of training dogs through this. I have spent countless hours learning through hands on experience, shadowing other trainers, signing up for seminars/conferences and taking courses through a Pet Professional Program. In addition to this, I read countless books, listened to professional dog trainer podcasts, and watched videos. Now I run my own dog training business called Tator's Training. Pet care is about the well-being of the animal as a whole... starting with nutrition, enrichment, mental stimulation and being active. I have 3 dogs of my own that I work with every day. I target each category (nutrition, enrichment, mental stimulation, physical activity) to make sure their needs are met. I work with dogs daily and have a flexible schedule throughout the week. Every dog is treated like my own. I would never put an animal in a situation that isn't environmentally safe for them or puts them at risk. Safety involves having a safe place, being aware of what a dog is trying to tell you, having water available, following the established nutrition routine, allowing play, freedom (within reason), and providing daily enrichment.

I enjoy all types of dogs and all personalities. I have a degree in Veterinary Technology and took additional classes in dog behavior and am comfortable with dogs that are difficult for others, such as dominant or very timid. I feel a special connection with dogs that are unsure and love using my knowledge of them to help them come out of their shell. I have worked with hundreds of dogs in veterinary, rescue, boarding and grooming settings. I have attained a CGC with two dogs and done some agility. But mostly I love just being with dogs, mine and any I come across, walking, playing, snuggling, swimming, and anything that brings that smile to their face and that sparkle to their eye. I am honest, flexible, and will respect your property 100%. I am honored to be trusted by those I work for and am happiest when I hear "I didn't have to worry at all because I knew you were there".
About: I’ve had a dog for 6 years and have always loved being around animals. I’m experienced with daily care including feeding, walks, playtime, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I recently graduated college and have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for and spend time with pets. I’m available for walks and drop-ins during weekdays. I am available for pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Because I have cared for my own dog for 6 years, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable. I always make sure pets have fresh water, attention, exercise, and a calm environment. I’ll follow any routines or instructions closely and treat your pets like they’re my own.
About: When it comes to animals, I love them all. I have extensive experience working with animals especially at a non profit no kill rescue that is unique giving everyone a chance no matter if they need high amounts of medical care. With that background, I'm comfortable caring for cats and dogs with medical needs, of all ages. I am most comfortable with small and medium dogs that are easy going and like going for walks! I work remote from home and have flexibility to adjust as needed for weekdays and weekends. I do need advance planning for anything more than a drop in. It's deeply personal to come into someone's home and care for their fur baby, I understand completely! Part of the planning process involves asking questions about your needs, preferences, expectations so we are in the same page!
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life! I treat my cats like they are my children and I would do anything for them! I would take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I also love dogs, I've had many dogs in my family growing up. I don't have the living space needed for a dog while living in an apartment. I would definitely have one if I were able! That's a big reason why you should let me pet sit for you! My availability is pretty open right now. I want to do a little something on the side besides other projects that I'm working on. They say that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life! Pets definitely make me the happiest!! I like to keep the living space clean and sanitized, I clean litter boxes every day. I pick up poop while on dog walks. Also, while dog walking, if there's another dog near and the you're dog seems uncomfortable or threatened, I would move to the other side of the street or walk the other way to remove ourselves from the situation. Most animals, if not all, trust and love me back!

About: I currently have 2 cats of my own that I take care of, and I also have experience with cat-sitting, dog-sitting, dog-walking, and more 🐱🐶❤️ I’m working part-time as a pet sitter right now and I can watch your pets on any day of the week (including weekends) from 3:30pm to midnight, but I am willing to make exceptions if I receive any inquiries for pet-sitting outside of my normal hours :) I mainly care for pets at the homes of my clients, but cats are welcome in my home if they don’t mind the company of my 2 cats :) 1 cat per day, and you have to bring your cat in some type of cage/crate. They will be staying upstairs where my room, litter box, and food/water bowls are located.

“Finley seemed so happy and calm when we picked him up that I knew he wasn’t stressed while we were away. He got to be outside just as much as he does at home. We don’t travel north often but would be glad to send him back ☺️”
“Amanda went above and beyond when my 1 yo German Shepherd had a few episodes of diarrhea while in her care. Truly a blessing to have her caring for my puppy during this. Can't thank her enough.”
“This is the second time we have booked a stay with Andrea and we will definitely be coming back. My dog seems to like staying here! Andrea easily handles a special (quirky) diet. It was great to get a daily photo and update. Drop off and pick up were flexible. I’m so glad we discovered this sitter!”
“Brandi and family is amazing ? We were invited away for the weekend last minute and Brandi was so accommodating with only one day notice. She was very communicative, sent pictures, and took great care of our 14 year old fur baby. Thanks so much, Brandi!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Laura to care for Willie for six nights while I brought my kids to college out of state! Willie may be little, but he’s a big spoiled baby. Laura and her family gave him just what he needed: lots of love, snuggles, walks, play, and nap time! I lived for her daily texts and photos which assured me that I had made the right choice to have him at Laura’s. No question, this will not be the first time that Willie stays at Laura’s when I have to go out of town.”
“My dog had a blast during her stay here. She got lots of exercise and cuddles. Please consider if you are looking for a caring home environment for your dog when you are away.”
“Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.”
“I have nothing but great things to say about our experience with Ana and her family! She was great at giving me updates and photos of how things were going for my baby Arlo! I definitely recommend them and I will be using Ana and her family whenever I need someone to take care of Arlo again!”
“Kristen and her family took amazing care of our almost 9-year-old Goldendoodle. He was given lots of love and attention and all his needs were tended to. I would definitely recommend Kristen’s services. We will be using her services again!”
“Regan did a FANTASTIC job watching my Molly! Molly can be a little timid meeting new people but immediately became friends with Regan. She loved running around the backyard with Luna and Maya. It was so comforting knowing that Molly was not only being taking care of but also being loved like one of her own pets. I received daily updates and pictures of all the fun Molly was having. I will definitely use Regan again!”
“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”
“Carine, Eric, and family were AMAZING with my two dogs, I got so many updates and pictures and know my girls were getting the best care while I was away. I highly recommend them for pet care!”
“Regina is truly a gem! We got pictures, videos and updates of our fur baby. When the time came for us to pick up, our pup was obviously in love with Regina! Would highly recommend!”
“I have brought my pup Reese over to Brittany’s several times now, from just a day of boarding to several days of boarding and Brittany always takes such good care of Reese and has a lot of experience. I know my pup can be a handful at times so I definitely appreciate all the love and care that has been given to her!!”
“My dog had a wonderful vacation while staying with his family. I think she enjoyed time with everyone, in the family, Kay, Rick, Omar Justas and Vanya. Kay sent me many pictures of her with each, and every one with Willow. I will definitely book with them again. In fact, I have already tried, but they’re busy when I need them. We’ll see you again next time”
