“Amy did a lovely job taking care of my dog for 4 nights while I was out of town! This was my first experience using Rover and it was a great introduction. Amy was professional and easy to contact, and sent photos and updates daily. She has a great and professional setup and I knew my pup had lots of opportunities to socialize with the other dogs, sprint around, rest, lay in the sun, cuddle, and eat some treats. Amy was also very easily able to accommodate for my dog’s allergy to chicken and gave him some oral medication from our vet. Amy was a gem and we will definitely be back the next time I need a sitter :)”
“Maria was AMAZING with my little Potato! For the first time, all our family and friends did not work out, so I found Rover and I was off to the races. I was so worried about leaving him with a veritable stranger for a week, but it worked out perfectly. Maria was good to meet at her place briefly before I booked just to make sure all was well, which of course it was. She sent so many pics and vids! It’s clear he spent plenty of time with the family, not sitting in a small space all day like he would have been if boarded elsewhere. She even took him on a walk one day when it was a little less deathly freezing out. Thank you so much Maria!”
“Andrew is so thoughtful, prepared, and caring! Our puppy always comes home so happy and fulfilled from his time staying with Andrew, who has also been very patient with our growing puppy who is still learning a lot. We also always appreciate the consistent check-ins and updates while we’re gone. Thank you Andrew!!”
“Bryan was great. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog there they cut me updated sent pictures and even had a nice little note and card with a little picture of Archie when I picked them up highly recommend”
“Colleen and Joe were great with Tillie! Colleen was so friendly, welcoming, and genuine, I immediately knew Tillie would be in good hands as soon as we met. Very quick communication and sent daily updates with pictures during my trip. Would absolutely book again and recommend to others!”
“Susan and Craig are clearly animal lovers and have a great calm energy around them! We were so fortunate to find them to have our two boys hang out at their place when we went out of town for work - they had a fantastic time!”
“We're so grateful to Dustin for watching our boy! We got consistent updates about how he was doing and pictures from their walks (even when it was crazy cold out!). Connor had a great time and we'll definitely book with him again when we need a sitter!”
“Terrie is wonderful! She sent pictures and updates daily, and was so patient and caring with our shy little dog. We would definitely book with Terrie again.”
“Wes was wonderful with our dog Zoey! Zoey is a senior dog and needs a bit of extra attention, and Wes and his family gave her just that! Received photos throughout her stay, would definitely recommend & use again in the future.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Erin and Ramin! They took excellent care of our dog and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and messages, which made us feel connected and reassured that our pup was happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Martha and Eric are just amazing! They provided the best care for Etta - it’s clear that she was SO well loved while she was there 🥰 We loved that they sent lots of pictures and videos along with their updates. It gave us such peace of mind to see what she was up to each day. Etta looked right at home (so much so that we weren’t sure she’d even want to leave with us when we came to pick her up 😂). We’re already hoping our next travel plans align with Martha and Eric’s availability because they are so fantastic! We are so grateful!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Promise and her dogs! She provided frequent updates, was very communicative, and I know she took the best care of Bo! He got lots of playtime and love, and I had complete peace of mind while I was away. I cannot recommend Promise enough and already have my dog’s next stay booked with her. Thank you, Promise!!”
“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!”
“Jailene was fantastic with my dog Riley. She sent regular update, photos, and videos. He stayed over the 4th of July holiday, and Jailene had great questions beforehand to make sure he was comfortable.”
“Amanda and her family took good care of Shaggy! She is very informative and always keeps you updated with cute pictures. She and her family put efforts to warm up Shaggy to the environment and their household! Appreciated her care! I would highly recommend her!”
“McFly had a wonderful time staying with Jennifer and her pup, Harlow. Our dogs got along great, as evidenced by the pupdates we received, and McFly seemed right at home when we went to pick him up after four nights. We will definitely utilize Jennifer's services again in the future!”
“Erin took amazing care of scooby! He was super comfortable staying with her and had a lot of fun as evidenced by her twice daily picture/ video updates. I could tell he loved her when I picked him up on the last day! Thanks Erin!”
“Sarah took wonderful care of our dog, Skye. She provided many updates and pictures that clearly showed Skye was treated like part of her family. I will happily take Skye back anytime!”
“Molly had a great time with Kyle, Jacquie and their girls! They were kind, responsive and provided frequent updates and photos. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a dog sitter :)”

“Crystal did a great job taking care of our cat! She went above and beyond to try to make our very shy kitty comfortable with her. Crystal also helped take in packages and mail while we were out and kept the cat food area tidy (no small feat with our messy eater) which was much appreciated. We'd love to book Crystal again the next time we take a trip!”
“Truly the best sitter, Christy has watched our cat several times and always exceeds our expectations. It’s so nice knowing our baby is well taken care of when we’re gone, and with Christy, I never have to worry about how she’s going.”
“Words cannot describe how thankful we are for Izzy. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing that Turkey was being so well cared for. We could fully relax knowing that Turkey was happy and enjoying herself while we were away. Izzy went far beyond any expectations we could have had. Since Turkey is a hairless cat, Izzy had to put on and take off her sweatshirts daily and carefully determine whether the weather was appropriate for walks and outdoor time — which can be tricky given Turkey’s lack of fur and grumpiness! Turkey’s ears also require regular cleaning because they collect wax easily, and Izzy helped us tremendously with that as well. Throughout our trip, we received photos and updates from Izzy, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would recommend Izzy to any family looking for someone who will give special attention, care, and love to their beloved family member. We were away for 9 days, which was the longest we have ever been apart from Turkey. When we returned home, we were amazed by how happy and comfortable Turkey was, and by how consistently Izzy maintained Turkey’s feeding schedule. Most importantly, Izzy is truly a gem of a person. Her calm, easygoing, yet detail-oriented character made our time away completely worthwhile. We will absolutely continue requesting Izzy’s care moving forward!”
About: I grew up with dogs, and miss them dearly in my life! Friends, neighbors and family have relied on me for years to take care of their pets: while away traveling, or in hardships. From closely monitoring my friend's cat after surgery when she couldn't call off work, to weeklong stays in family homes with rambunctious puppies, I've done it all. I've always had a passion for animals, including exotic pet care! I have personally kept a freshwater aquarium and understand that fish and reptile care is much more detailed and intensive than many may first assume. You can rest easy knowing your pets will be in good hands, and will be given the detailed care and attention they deserve. I'm currently in recovery from a chronic pain condition. This gives me incredible flexibility to take on care at any time, and give your pets the attention they deserve! Depending on my health, my availabily may fluctuate, but now that I'm finally on the upswing I'm ready to be active and my abilites will only increase in the coming months! I am currently not offering care through my own home, but I am happy to provide check ins on many varieties of pets! I adore reptiles and exotic pets, and will happily feed, administer care, and help wear them out by playing inside, in the yard, or walking the nearby area.
“Ashley took great care of our two cats! She was extremely communicative, dedicated time and attention to making sure they were active, and made sure they exhibited normal eating/drinking habits while we were traveling. Loved the pictures as well!”
“Teresa was wonderful with my cat. Spent time with her and played with her, and helped out with specific things to my cat that were very helpful. I couldn’t recommend Teresa more!”
“Pamela did a great job with my two cats! I got detailed updates every day which was really appreciated, and I had a worry free weekend knowing they were in good hands.”
“So many pictures and a very happy kitty :) Ciboney even took the time to wash our sheets before we came back home since we booked house sitting. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 7 years old! I had a cat growing up, and I’ve been obsessed with cats ever since. I take care of my own cats and other people trust me to look after theirs as well.
About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for neighbor’s pets, including cats, reptiles, and other not-so-furry friends, as well as taking care of my family’s many dogs and my own cats. I also foster-sit with a Minneapolis rescue when it works out. When I’m not working in office Tuesday- Thursday, I’m around all day to hang out with your furry friend and ensure all their needs are met. When caring for your pets in my home or yours, they can expect lots of playtime, cuddles, and walks to the park. My home also has a fenced backyard for your pup to let all the zoomies out.
“Absolutely loved having Jessica watch over my little puppy. She was communicative and made me feel at ease while I was away. The pictures and updates were great. I would highly recommend her!”
“Reagan is honestly the greatest. Prompt, a good communicator, extremely kind, and very accommodating are just some of the things I love about her. When she stayed overnight in my home she left it cleaner than I did! I have many pets and she followed all directions perfectly. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for everything, Reagan ♥️ hope to see you soon!”
“Alexis is so awesome with my kitties! She sends updates and pictures, and is sure to give extra time and cuddles to each of them! I would definitely recommend Alexis for your pet sitting needs!”
“Connie is a miracle worker! I have a very anxious kitty that hides from everyone, but Connie was able to get her to warm up and be friendly. Connie took detailed notes on Mochi's care, and clearly cared about her happiness and comfort. She sent tons of updates, including lots of photos and videos, throughout my time away, and it was so nice to see my kitty purr and enjoying her attention. Connie also took excellent care of the house, it was like I never left!”
“Gina does such a wonderful job! She’s timely, knows just the right things to do with our girls to tucker them out and keep them happy! Her communication is 5 star! She keeps me up to date on how things are going and what I need to know upon return. I’m super happy with her professionalism and genuine care for our girls. I would recommend her for anyone in a minute😊”
About: I have always loved and cared for animals in general. I grew up with a Puggle who I passed at 18yrs old (2021), and we added a Pomeranian/Pekingese babe to our family in 2013. I grew up scared of cats, but I have my own now! His name is Panda and he’s 6 now! I taught him how to sit and lay down like a dog. He’s quite stubborn (like a lot of cats), but we practiced definitely made perfect. I’m also a proud doggy godmother to my best friend’s Boxer/Mastiff, Nova. I’m that person who will stop in the middle of the road, get out to direct traffic for a family of ducks to cross. I’ve had to pullover to help dogs find they’re home again. I’m my family’s and friend’s go-to for animal sitting (and human sitting). They rely on my extremely high level of patience and love towards animals, and they also appreciate how stern I am when they misbehave. I’ve got your pet’s back and yours! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom for my infant daughter. My schedule is wide open! She loves going on walks with me and is great with noises of all types. I'm very by the book, so let me know your restrictions and instructions are and trust that they'll be followed. Microchipped or not, your pet is just as important as my pet. Clients usually come back to their space in better condition than it was left to me in.
About: Hi! I really love being around dogs as I have grown up with four dogs since I was a kid! They have been my best friends my entire life and I wouldn't have traded away a single moment with them. I am experienced in taking care of dogs and love to be around them and play! Not everyone understands how much effort goes into taking care of your best friend but I do! My family currently fosters and looks after dogs which encouraged me to do something similar. My family provided insight into rover and I thought it would be a great idea with my experience. Moreover, I currently live away from home due to school so I miss the companionship as well! Please let me know if you have any further questions I would love to answer them & talk more about my experience! I look forward to ensuring your pet(s) are well taken care of during your absence!

About: Hello! I am an animal lover at heart and have an extra special place in my heart for dogs! I have experience caring for dogs since I was little girl. I know how nerve wrecking it can be to leave your pet while you're away and I will strive to provide great care for your dog in order to make sure all their needs are met and beyond. I have a dog and I will promise to treat your dog as my own! I work M-F from home which leaves me with more flexibility for potty breaks and walks as needed for your dog. I can provide pupdates and pictures as often as you'd like to reassure your dog is in good hands! I have a fenced in yard to allow your dog exercise. I am dedicated to providing a fun and safe environment during their stay! I work from home during the day which allows me the flexibility to provide more frequent potty and play breaks for you pup! I can ensure your pup has more attention when needed. There are several walking paths near me to take dogs for walks/potty breaks. I have a fully fenced backyard for play time and exercise. I treat dogs I am caring for as my own.
“Hopps has enjoyed his days with Kara and the family. He looks forward to playing in the yard with Oscar, walks with the kiddos and having someone to follow around all day. Kara is so great at documenting the day with pictures and reporting on his activities. I know he’s in good hands 😊”
“This was our first time using Roover, and Rachel made the experience smooth and stress free. Our dog had a great day with her, and Rachel sent lots of updates and pictures!”
“Lizzy & her husband took GiGi for a fun hour long walk in the snow. They gave her a lot of attention and cuddles. They will be great caregivers for your pet.”
“Pamela was great! She welcomed a meeting before dog sitting, and asked care questions. Arlington played well with my dog, and they have a great fenced in backyard for running around!”
“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!”
“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: I've cared for a variety of pet animals over the years, and currently own two cats of my own who I raised from kittenhood, one who was even prematurely removed from his mother. I'm currently doing mostly online schooling so with proper notice I can work with any type of sitting needs, no matter how odd the job. I'm able to board pets of any type, as I have more than enough space to seperate or integrate as your individual pet requires for a comfortable stay! I also have the flexibility to be within your home for any amount of time your pet needs.
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. I work from home most days in a dog-friendly condo in Columbia Heights, with 1–2 days a week in the office. On home days I'm available all day for frequent potty breaks, companionship, and check-ins. On office days, your pup will still get a solid morning and evening routine, and plenty of company once I'm back. There's no private yard, but there's a nice shared yard with plenty of green just downstairs for 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 caring 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've 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 a lot and would do walks on a nice day, let’s do a meet & greet! One or two days a week, I have to be at the office; I'll coordinate ahead of time, give updates, and make sure your dog is settled before I go. On Saturdays, I'm less flexible for check-in and check-out, since I'm away in the morning for volunteer work. 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).
“My dog Arlo loves visiting Sarah and her family. As soon as he sees Sarah he wiggles in excitement, wags his tail and gives her a huge smile. Highly recommended!”
“I am so thankful we found Jessie! Our dog Cooper is not the easiest guy to take care of, he's not really a people person. Needless to say this makes finding a sitter very stressful. After describing him to Jessie she was still willing to take things slow and do a meet and greet and then a 1/2 day of daycare to see how it went. Next we'll try an overnight stay before committing to a multiple night stay when we go on vacation. I appreciate how patient and understanding she is with him and I'm hopeful we have found our new sitter! Thank you Jessie! (Harley and Ninja were great too :) )”
“We loved having Lindsey watch our dog, Maaya. She was very easy to communicate and coordinate with. She also shared lots of details and photos at the end of each day. Would highly recommend and have her watch Maaya again.”
“Leah O, was very caring and positive with my dog & was so attentive. Thank you providing play time in your wonderful back yard and for “lovin’ on her” while she was inside!”
“Nickolai was very responsive & communicative. I was able to book last minute with him -for the next day! My pup was greeted with a treat which was a great sign! I also received photos throughout his stay which certainly gave me peace of mind. Bruno came home tuckered out and ready to chill, which is great because mom is ready to chill too after a long day of work. He will certainly be back if I am working in the area again! 😊”
About: Our family said goodbye to our 16 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Lou, and we are ready to open our home to our neighbor's pups for love and attention while you're away! Britt grew up with lots of dogs (and cats), and the whole family has experience caring for animals at all ages. Both Britt and Mike work from home full time, and are able to care for pets throughout the day and night. Our three children are in school and preschool in the neighborhood during the week, giving us several opportunities to go on daily walks. We have a large, fenced in backyard for dogs and our children to share. We do not require dogs to be crated at night or when we are away for short amounts of time. We do have a medium crate if their normal routine includes crating during short times alone at home. Our children are used to being around animals and know how to be gentle and respectful of space.
“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.”

“Andy takes great care of my baby's! Andy is easy to communicate with, and takes great pictures. When I come home the dogs are always excited in a way I know they had a nice time with a new friend.”
About: I love pets so much! I have two cats, Tommy and Rosie, and they’re the sweetest. I have been a preschool teacher and a house cleaner, so I’m not afraid of cleaning up any messes or accidents that may happen. I’m trustworthy and reliable because of those job experiences; my favorite part of cleaning houses was getting to know people’s pets! I also love creating a connection with pet parents. If I’m coming into your home, you and your pets become a part of my family. I’m also an actor, so if you ever want to know about shows that are happening, I’m a very good resource! It’s my goal to make sure your pets feel loved and nurtured even when you’re not at home. I create my own schedule, so I can be pretty flexible when I need to be. Mornings are my most available time, so let’s talk! I’ll follow any notes and instructions you give me, and if there’s anything I cannot do, I’ll let you know so we can work on a solution together. There may be some things I’m inexperienced in when looking after dogs(giving medication, etc) but if you show me what to do, I’m a fast learner!
“Leah was great for Arf’s daily walk. She was on time, sent a report and pictures each day. She was accommodating when I needed to add an extra day and prompt to respond. We will definitely use her again!”

About: Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I am a huge animal lover and have grown up/cared for dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with mostly Norwegian Elkhounds but had one Carin terrier find his way to my family. Currently I have 1 Norwegian Elkhound named Bear who is about 6 years old and my best friend. My boyfriend and I recently adopted 2 cats from the animal Humane Society named Jack and Lucas. I have been pet sitting since high school and have taken care of cats, dogs, rabbit, fish and hamsters. When I am not with animals I can be found hiking, reading, knitting or playing video games. I am currently making my way through the Nancy Drew series and hoping to finish a scarf by Christmas time. I try to stay active and like taking my dog on long walks especially in the summer. I am currently go to school full time. Which allows me to prioritize caring for my pets and lets me fit a wide ranging of scheduling needs. My pets currently run the home. They have free reign of the entire house and nap, eat and sometimes even potty where ever they like.
About: I have many years of loving dogs. I am extremely patient. I believe every dog is unique and they all have a story to tell. I am retired and able to give 24/7 care. I was a licensed CNA for years. I walk every day. I am an advid reader. I also work puzzles and knit. I like my gardens also.i can sit inside or out with your dog. I am very responsible. Although I have a fenced yard I would never leave your precious pet alone. I have nothing in the reach of your fur baby that could cause harm to any animal.
“Carolina is wonderful! Our Hank can be very hyper and excited, Carolina does a wonderful job working with him and has a gentle yet strong demeanor. She is communicative and great to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was the dream to work with! She flexed with us when we were dealing with some unknown scheduling details, was so sweet with our quirky dogs, and was so responsive! We will reach out to her for all of our dog care needs in the future. You can feel confident your pups are in GREAT hands with her.”
About: Dogs have always been apart of my life, as I always had a dog growing up and at one point owned 5 dogs. To me having 5 dogs is no different than having 1, as long as you have enough love to go around. All they want to do is love you and make you happy, so how can you not love them in return. I have 3 dogs of my own right now and enjoy spending time with them. I probably spoil them as they know when I come home with bags that there is more than likely a treat or toy for them. I am available any day and time and have a fenced yard. I am reliable and trustworthy and would treat your dog with care, respect and love.
About: For over 5 years, I've been the go-to pet caretaker for many in my community. From energetic puppies to wise senior dogs, I've had the joy of caring for them all. My experience spans walking, feeding, bathing, and even some basic training. Every pet is unique, and I pride myself on recognizing and attending to each one's individual needs. Whether your fur baby needs patience, energy, or a gentle touch, I'm here to provide it. Balancing a remote job gives me the flexibility and opportunity to dedicate substantial time to pet care. I’m fervent about ensuring our furry companions get ample play and attention. I am open for boarding on weekends, and my weekdays post 11am are entirely devoted to caring for pets. Rest assured, your pets will enjoy ample time of fun and care with me! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I've created a pet-friendly environment, free from hazards and with plenty of play space. All pets have access to clean, comfortable resting spots and fresh water at all times. If I'm taking care of pets in your home, I'm respectful of your space and follow all guidelines provided. My goal is to ensure that whether I'm in your home or you entrust your pet in mine, they are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Hana is a wonderful dog walker, She is punctual and professional, texting to say that she is on her way. She is friendly and very considerate. And she has a wonderful rapport with our old dog, who is shy and not very friendly. Our dog look forward to walks with Hana, and walks further with her than she does with other dog walkers. I can't say enough good things about her.”
About: Hi! My name is Abby and I would love to be your pet sitter! I’d love to meet you and your pet after we chat and get some details squared away. I am located in Fridley! I have experience working with a range of animals by running a Guinea pig foster-based rescue, experience at a doggy daycare, a veterinary hospital as a kennel assistant- caring for boarding, grooming, and surgery pets. I have experience as a technician assistant/receptionist at North Branch Vet. This not only involves working with clients, but understanding patients needs. I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chickens, hamsters, and lots of other companion animals. I genuinely enjoy caring for any type of pet, and I love learning new things, so don’t be afraid to ask me to care for a unique type of pet! I am good at reading challenging dogs’ language, and I am also good with dogs that get anxious easily. I can care for dogs ranging in age, although puppy care does require a bit of extra effort. I am more than happy to do activity as simple as give your pet company while they relax with potty breaks. I also love to do activities and have fun with animals, like my own Australian Shepard, Winnie, Great Dane, Reuben, my maine coon, Juneau, Manx, named “Turkey” and my multiple guinea pigs. Although cats are a much different species than dogs, I have just as much intuition and experience caring for them as well. Having two of my own, I know how much their personalities can range, and I am accustomed to being flexible with their personal needs. If your dog is friendly to other dogs, I would love to bring my own Great Dane along to overnight bookings to play and be friends with your dog! I’m excited to get to know you and your pet, please request me anytime! Your booking is priority one, and is always completed before other work is done. If you are requesting house sitting, I’ll be with your pet until I have to leave to briefly care for my own pets. If your dog is well behaved, I would have no problem bringing them along with me when I run around town. If you are requesting drop in visits or dog walking, I will be able to attend your home whenever you book me. I’m available throughout the day, up until 10pm. I will be sure your pet is always in sight when going outside, or always on a leash if you do not have a fenced yard. I will take precautions to make sure your animals do not escape when I am entering or exiting the house by being aware of their presence when opening or shutting doors, or making sure to block their potential exits when I am entering or exiting. I will be sure to secure any cages, kennels or enclosures, along with your residence when I leave for any reason, assuring neither your pet will be safe while alone while also not getting into mischief.

I am a stay at home mom with kids in school, all are respectful and love animals. I am available day and night very flexible schedule for my clients. If your pet likes belly scratch I will belly scratch if he or she likes to play catch I will play catch, whatever your pet enjoys I will happily do. I Want to give pet owners the peace of mind that their animals are being loved and taken care of when they are away. I have experience with small and large dogs, young and old. The happiness and well being of your pet is my passion.
About: My husband and our family have been watching dogs on Rover since before it was even called Rover. We've lived overseas a few times so if you see gaps in our reviews, that is why. We are very active with our doggie guests and would love to host your dog. We typically go on walks once a day and on weekends typically try to be outside more (as the winter weather permits). We're open to requests to take your pup to dog parks, bike rides, or walks depending on your pup's preferences. Note: you will typically see delayed responses past 9PM but will get back to you as soon as I see your messages. Thanks! Both my husband and I work full time M-F but I work from home and would be able to take bathroom breaks or walks mid-day. If you needed someone to stop by and let your dog out, it would have to be within the Columbia Heights, Fridley, Shoreview area. We have a fenced in yard in the back that we take out the dogs to hang, throw a ball, or relax. Inside the house we leave it open range as long as your pup can handle no accidents, no chewing the kids' stuffies (it's hard I know!), etc. When we are gone, we do like to crate our visitors so they don't get into mischief while we are gone.

“Amy did a lovely job taking care of my dog for 4 nights while I was out of town! This was my first experience using Rover and it was a great introduction. Amy was professional and easy to contact, and sent photos and updates daily. She has a great and professional setup and I knew my pup had lots of opportunities to socialize with the other dogs, sprint around, rest, lay in the sun, cuddle, and eat some treats. Amy was also very easily able to accommodate for my dog’s allergy to chicken and gave him some oral medication from our vet. Amy was a gem and we will definitely be back the next time I need a sitter :)”
“Andrew is so thoughtful, prepared, and caring! Our puppy always comes home so happy and fulfilled from his time staying with Andrew, who has also been very patient with our growing puppy who is still learning a lot. We also always appreciate the consistent check-ins and updates while we’re gone. Thank you Andrew!!”
“We're so grateful to Dustin for watching our boy! We got consistent updates about how he was doing and pictures from their walks (even when it was crazy cold out!). Connor had a great time and we'll definitely book with him again when we need a sitter!”
“Terrie is wonderful! She sent pictures and updates daily, and was so patient and caring with our shy little dog. We would definitely book with Terrie again.”
“Martha and Eric are just amazing! They provided the best care for Etta - it’s clear that she was SO well loved while she was there 🥰 We loved that they sent lots of pictures and videos along with their updates. It gave us such peace of mind to see what she was up to each day. Etta looked right at home (so much so that we weren’t sure she’d even want to leave with us when we came to pick her up 😂). We’re already hoping our next travel plans align with Martha and Eric’s availability because they are so fantastic! We are so grateful!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Promise and her dogs! She provided frequent updates, was very communicative, and I know she took the best care of Bo! He got lots of playtime and love, and I had complete peace of mind while I was away. I cannot recommend Promise enough and already have my dog’s next stay booked with her. Thank you, Promise!!”
“Jailene was fantastic with my dog Riley. She sent regular update, photos, and videos. He stayed over the 4th of July holiday, and Jailene had great questions beforehand to make sure he was comfortable.”
“Amanda and her family took good care of Shaggy! She is very informative and always keeps you updated with cute pictures. She and her family put efforts to warm up Shaggy to the environment and their household! Appreciated her care! I would highly recommend her!”
“McFly had a wonderful time staying with Jennifer and her pup, Harlow. Our dogs got along great, as evidenced by the pupdates we received, and McFly seemed right at home when we went to pick him up after four nights. We will definitely utilize Jennifer's services again in the future!”
“Erin took amazing care of scooby! He was super comfortable staying with her and had a lot of fun as evidenced by her twice daily picture/ video updates. I could tell he loved her when I picked him up on the last day! Thanks Erin!”
“Sarah took wonderful care of our dog, Skye. She provided many updates and pictures that clearly showed Skye was treated like part of her family. I will happily take Skye back anytime!”
“Molly had a great time with Kyle, Jacquie and their girls! They were kind, responsive and provided frequent updates and photos. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a dog sitter :)”
“I can tell my dog had a great stay with Sonny, and I appreciate her schedule flexibility and text updates with photos! I would definitely book another stay with Sonny for my pup in the future.”
“Dave is the best! Our Sam just loved him. He was extremely well cared for and honestly the peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands just can’t be beat. It’s hard to leave your dog when you need to be out of town and I can assure anyone reading this review that your dog will be very well loved if Dave is taking care of them.”
“Kingston had lots of fun with Adam!! He didn’t seem overly excited to see me, which tells me he had fun while we were gone. Adam sent pictures of the fun they had on walks, and sent updates.”
“Jordan was a great fit for my dog. He was easy to communicate with, sent photos letting me know that my dog was being cared for, and followed care instructions well. My dog seemed happy and well cared for. Would be happy to book with him again in the future.”
“Leah was fantastic and Mazzie had a great weekend with her. Lenny and Mazzie have many similar traits so they got along very well. Leah kept in touch with me throughout her weekend stay with messages and pictures. We will definitely use her again!”
“We felt so good placing our two mini dachshunds with Maria. Maria sent us photos and videos of the girls and let us know how they were doing. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our girls were in good hands.”
