“Catherine is amazing! She was super responsive & flexible with a last minute change in schedule, administered antibiotics while we were away, and we feel totally comfortable leaving our pup in her care.”
“This is a very welcoming, pet loving home. I especially like that she doesn't care for many pets at the same time. Your fenced backyard is a real bonus and my dog loves being able to run and play in the snow.

“Gary regularly watches my cat and provides excellent service. I get pictures and written updates with every drop in, which makes me feel like my cat is taken care of well.”
“She did a wonderful job with my guinea pigs. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of when I was gone. I was nervous about leaving them for an extended period of time as they are older guineas pigs, but she did better than I could have expected. I would highly recommend”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kayla. I have 4 cats and she makes sure to shower them each with attention. She is the most thorough, responsible, responsive, and sweet cat-sitter I’ve ever worked with. She handled giving my cat her medication like a pro. She is great about seeing to their litter. But what I love most about Kayla cat-sitting is her updates and photos she sends me (so thoughtful!)! I know my cats are safe and well taken care of with Kayla. She’s just the best!”
“Rachel went above and beyond when taking care of Rocket! There was always communication, she took care of the litter without needing to and accommodated my special situation given the key FOB. Super appreciative of what Rachel has done for me and especially Rocket! From the incredibly thoughtful and detailed Rover cards, Rocket, who I was sure would be a hermit the entire week, opened up almost immediately. Rachel is THE cat whisperer, and you should not hesitate when booking with her! Thank you SO MUCH!”

“Jennifer has the magic touch with Miss Greycie my kitty! Greycie absolutely LOVED Jennifer! Jennifer is super considerate (bringing in deliveries), checking and executing all items related to my kitty AND leaving daily notes and pictures in Rover re: food, water, playtime, litterbox maintenance and grooming. We absolutely without a moment's doubt will ask Jennifer again to care for Miss Greycie😻”

“Jessica did a great job watching our cat and taking care of our fish and plants. We got some great photos of our cat while we were gone and Jessica made us feel like our home was in great hands while we were gone.”
“We have used April multiple times now to take care of our two cats. We really appreciate the peace of mind she gives us while away, with her consistent feeding schedule, regular check ins with photos and attention to detail. Our cats clearly love her now and were so relaxed when we returned. We could tell they had been getting a lot of attention with playtime and brushing. Thanks again April!”
“Anna has cat sat for us twice now. Highly recommend! Reliable, thoughtful, clearly loves animals. Provided lots of photos and comprehensive daily reporting which was greatly appreciated. Anna goes above and beyond!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hale
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I've cared for over 15 different dog breeds since I was 10 years old, from high energy hunting dogs to cozy lap snugglers. Friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets for years. With 8 years in animal welfare, I understand behavior and emotions, including noise fears, nervousness with new people, leash reactivity, shy/timid, resource guarding, seniors, puppies, and special needs pets. I also care for cats of all personalities independent explorers, playful toy lovers, and devoted snugglers. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, stress free home where they feel truly cared for while you're away. Each dog in my care receives personalized attention and love. For daycare and boarding, I limit to two dogs at a time to ensure quality care while they are in a new environment. When house sitting in your home, I can happily care for up to four dogs, keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. I’m happy to provide photo updates, and our home is fully prepared for play, rest, and supervision. I’m home during the day, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, and enrichment. Every pet in my care enjoys a healthy balance of play, mental stimulation, walks, and quiet time to rest and recharge. Evenings are cozy and relaxed, filled with gentle supervision and snuggles, so pets feel safe, happy, and loved from morning to night. I have a fully fenced yard with secure gate locks to keep pets safe, and I’m happy to make adjustments using leads or harnesses for curious or adventurous pups. I also maintain an up-to-date list of urgent care and emergency veterinary clinics throughout the metro area for added peace of mind. Potential clients are always welcome to schedule a video home tour to see the setup and environment their pet would be in. My home allows for kenneling if needed, and I can provide large and extra large crates. I also offer separate spaces for feeding time and am located near several nearby parks for walks. For cats, I can provide a quiet, separate space if they need time to decompress. In addition to care in my home, I also offer house sitting so pets can remain comfortable in their own environment and routines. I’m located about 15 minutes from MSP Airport, which many traveling pet parents find convenient for drop-off and pick-up. Street parking is available in the area, and rideshares to the airport are typically around $20.
“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 dogs and they are truly my heart and soul. We currently have 2 dogs 2 cats, (although one dog is a part time since they follow shared custody with the teens). We would absolutely love to take in your dog. We both work from home so they would get plenty of loving and attention! I work from home full time, along with my partner who also works from home; so honestly I'm very open. Our own dogs generally are taken out about every 3 hours regardless if they go potty or not. The animals have free range of the house (minus our bed) 😊 I do have a yard, although its not fenced, we have a track or a ground post if your worried about them running away while being outside. We also love to take walks. If they stay close and listen well, I generally stay outside with them. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Ellen is so patient & understanding with my fearful dog. I drop my dog off with a wagging tail which says a lot! I am so grateful for her & her availability and communication.”
“Alyson is wonderful! Our pup stayed with her while we were visiting town and I'm so so glad we found her. Alyson was super responsive and easy to communicate with and really flexible. Plus my pup was zonked out after we picked him up, so he must have played a lot and had a great time.”
“Jessie cared for our Bernese Mountain Dog for a day of dog daycare. She responded quickly to my Initial request. We had a nice meet and greet where Jessie asked a lot of good question trying to make sure that she understood the needs of our dog. The drop off and pick up were smooth. We also received a super summary of Koda's day and photos. Top notch service. My family would highly recommend booking your dog with Jessie.”
“Lydia does an amazing job caring for our puppy! We started bringing Riley to Lydia when she was about 10 weeks old for the couple of days a week we needed to work outside of the house. Riley always came home happy and worn out. She got plenty of fun, playtime, and naps throughout the day and Lydia sends lots of pictures so you can see how your pup is doing!”
“I really appreciated Bailey and Connor’s care with dog sitting, we did a meet and greet to make sure our dogs clicked before the booking and I got lots of photos and updates during my pup’s stay. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Howie was amazing with Maizey. She is a bit timid around strangers, but she felt right at home at his house. Makes mom not worry so much when she is away that Maizey is in good hands! Will definitely book Howie again!”
“Best sitters ever! Couldn’t recommend Karen and Ryan enough. Lambo absolutely LOVES when he goes over to their house and gets the wiggles every time he see them. Just proves how much they care for your dog like their own. They’re very flexible with my schedule and I can’t appreciate that enough.”
“Absolutely incredible experience. Celia was easy to communicate with and sent me pics of my pup throughout the day. I would love to book again - highly recommmend”
“Great experience having Robert watch my pup - highly recommended, especially for a high-energy dog. Will definitely be coming to him in the future when I need someone to take care of her while I'm in Minneapolis.”
“Marisa did a great job handling three-month-old Basie’s first time away from his home and family. She even took the time to do a meet-and-greet between her dog and Basie ahead of time to make sure they would get along together. She also made sure that Basie had fun and got to do some safe exploring and socializing. I would definitely feel comfortable having her look after Basie in the future.”
About: Over 20 years experience working with people, their kids, and their pets. We have a fun home with two work-from-home parents and our 2 year old goldendoodle (no kids). Our days with dogs are spent walking down the creek, playing the backyard, getting pup cups at the ice cream shop and snuggling on the front porch chairs. I work from home with a flexible schedule. Pups aren’t left for more than a few hours a day, if at all! My dog, Bo, is also good company. We have a casual home where dogs are part of the family. With a fenced yard and close access to trails, every dog gets lots of exercise. Our 2-year-old goldendoodle is a good friend and loves to play!
About: I've had family pets since I was a little girl which adds over 15 years of experience to my repertoire. I have cared for friends and family dogs through walks, baths, and everything in between. Most recently, my roommate and friend got a puppy who is now a full grown doggo! I have taken care of him alongside her, so know how to handle puppies as well. He is like my own dog! I work from home, and am available all day and can always find time after work and on weekends, as long as I have free time and am around on weekends. I have a great work-life balance to fit in dog-sitting and care. Feel free to ask me questions! I live in a spacious apartment in South Minneapolis, with lots of walkability near-by. There is one dog in our apartment, Arlo, who is the sweetest and easiest yellow lab. I currently house-sit regularly for one family and have lots of experience with a variety of animals, such as dogs, cats, chickens, and fish. I can also crate your dog with provided crate. I will listen to your needs and goals to make you and your dog comfy and happy!
“Krista is the best! She sends more photos than any other Rover we use. My dogs get so excited when we pull up to Krista's house! We will continue to have Krista watch out pups.”

About: Need someone that loves your dog like you do? I can help! :) I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! I bring a calm and understanding care to every fur friend I look after. I currently dog walk a sweet 5 year old Boxer-mix weekly, but I’m excited to add more animals to my schedule. I build a bond with the pets in my care and am always looking for ways to personalize my approach to best fit their needs! -I also volunteer weekly as an animal care assistant at the Animal Humane Society! I am working part-time so I have lots of time to spend with your pet! I am available on weekdays for walks & drop-ins! I would love to meet your fur friend🐾 Making sure your pet feels comfortable is my top priority! I take the health and safety of the pet in my care very seriously.

About: I’ve always had such a strong love for animals both dogs, cats and more! I grew up with both cats and dogs in my family and have experience with animals of all ages including puppies & kittens and senior dogs and cats. I have experience in providing medicine, treatment, nail trimmings, and more to both cats and dogs in a gentle and careful way! I am very caring and will always make sure your animal is my #1 priority I currently work from home going in the office once a week so I have lots of flexibility to do drop in during lunch time, before or after work and weekends. Since I work from home I am always available at anytime in case of an emergency as well. I currently have two cats that I care for like they are my children (because they are!) both cats are rescues with very different personalities and comforts. Litter boxes are cleaned daily and deep cleaned weekly. They are fed half wet feed half dry food diet and fed portion sizes, not free fed. We have pet insurance so take them to the vet as we see fit - more than yearly! When I lived with my parents and their dog we would do daily walks/hikes and I also helped train him!
“Sally is such an excellent addition to my first dog owner experience. Having her come by my place when I have to work in office allows me to focus on my work and keep this ship sailing. I trust she will take care of my pups and leave my place locked and safe. Sally is reliable and a strong communicator on top of being a gifted animal handler.”
About: I have years of experience caring for my own pets and pet-sitting for others. My experience includes all age ages and sizes of dogs and cats, including rescue animals, French bulldogs, pitbulls and Persian cats. I also have some experience with giving medication to pets and caring for small animals such as hedgehogs and rabbits. I love all kinds of animals and take pride in understanding and respecting a pet's unique needs and boundaries, such as petting and feeding needs. I look forward to giving your pet the same love and respect I give my own! Over this summer I am completely flexible as I will be attending university at the start of fall. I will have a very flexible schedule for both booking appointments and playing/walking with your animals. I like to keep a strict feeding schedule-which can fit to your pets needs if they already have one-and a minimum walk time of 30 minutes daily. Pets are allowed everywhere in both yard and home. If needed or wanted I am willing and happy to send daily photos and/or videos of your pet to you for peace of mind!
“Joanna was amazing and gave us so many updates on Chi-Chi while we were away. I was so happy she made time to meet us in advance and asked many questions to get to know Chi-Chi better. We came home to a very happy pup! 🐶 🐾 💕 Highly recommend 10/10”
“April was wonderful! She came over quickly, with minimal warning to walk my dog. My dog loved her! April is trustworthy and friendly- I would definitely use her again!”
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!
