“Timmothy was fantastic and took great care of our pup! We appreciated his great communication and daily updates. We would definitely book with him again. Thank you!!”
“Maria is great with my senior dog Henry. She made sure he was eating well and administered all his medications. She’s in a great location for boarding and is always pleasant to work with with. Thanks so much, Maria! ☺️”
“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!!”
“As a several times over repeat customer, I could not be more pleased with the care my dog gets from Colleen and Joe. I feel so comfortable leaving her with them, I can just fully focus on my trip. Many nice updates, great communication, friendly and kind people. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Fantastic experience for me! Drop off and pick up were a breeze. They sent me some photos while I was away and treated my pooch like their own. Will definitely book with them again!”
“Sarah was great! She was able to watch Diesel within a VERY short notice from another sitter. (Diesel is not neutered and wanted to make babies with her dog) sarah arranged to pick up Diesel and took care of him. He was walked and could tell he had a good time because when we got him home he sprawled onto the floor tired lol. She took him on walks, played catch, cuddles and told me about his eating/bowel movements. She also sent pics while he was with her! I will definitely book with her again!”
“Dillon has a kind and calm personality which allowed our dog (and us) to feel totally comfortable while we were traveling out of state. Photo and text updates were also greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Dillon!”
“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.”
“Best dog sitter ever! My two dogs loved their time here. She took them to the dog park plenty of times, reached out with concerns and provided pictures and videos. I would love to leave them with her anytime I need to!”
“Our dog loved staying with Judy and we felt at ease during our 9 day vacation knowing Swish was getting the love and attention he does from us-if not more. We will definitely book with Judy again in the future, but probably never stay away from Swish that long again! We missed him.”
“He was nice, flexible and helpful. He sent pictures, asked questions and gave me an update. He allowed us to do an initial visit, had SunBear’s things waiting and brought them to the car. Thank you”
“This is our second time having our pups stay with Eric and Martha and it was just as amazing as the first time! They’re our first choice when we are in need of a sitter and our dogs are so excited to see them! 🩷💙”
“We had a wonderful experience with Bryan. It was obvious from our first. Meet and greet -they are animal lovers and I felt like I was leaving my dog with a trusted friend/family member. I received updates while we were away. I would highly recommend Bryan to anyone.”
“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!”
“Aastha and Dan were great! They were easy to work with, experienced with dogs, communicated very well and took great care of Axl. They have a great backyard and played with Axl a lot. He is high energy so the yard helps to burn off that energy. We will definitely use them again.”
“Tori was well taken care of during her stay at Susie’s. Susie is delightful and enjoys keeping dogs. You can see by her enthusiasm and sense of pride in her care. Definitely will use her again.”
“Jennifer loved our Paws and took such good care of her. She sent pictures during the time she was there and was very quick to communicate with us. We felt so good leaving her with someone we knew loved animals. We would book her again.”
“I cannot say enough nice things about Amy. She always takes such great care of my pup. He comes home exhausted from all the playing and activities. She goes out of her way to do the silly things I like to do for my dog. Highly recommended!”
“Robert was the perfect host for Bambi she was so well taken care of and I had so much peace of mind with him. Thank you so much for taking care of my girl!”

About: I had a cat for 17 years and he was my baby. Quirky and cuddly but also wild and strange. So I get cats. I've done foster work with cats and kittens as well
“Megan is super personable and bubbly! She’s reliable and kept me updated with pictures while I was gone. I have anxiety leaving my cats alone for extended periods so the updates relieved that anxiety! I’d definitely consider booking in the future!”
“Kaitlyn was incredible! She was so kind and caring. She was flexible and was able to adapt to changes. She sent so many pictures and consistently gave updates. I will definitely reach out in the future! Thank you so much Kaitlyn!”
“Isabella stayed in our home for several nights recently to care for our cat. This was our first time having in-home cat care. Isabella was conscientious, professional, and kind. We appreciated her daily updates and photos of our cats. She let us know when there were any issues with our cat, asked appropriate questions, and kept our house in excellent condition. I would not hesitate to recommend Isabella for cat care, whether in-home or visits, and I'll definitely hope to book her again for our next trip.”

“Lauren was absolutely fantastic!! I couldn’t have picked a better sitter to make my cat feel comfortable and happy! Lauren went above and beyond with photos throughout every visit and A+ communication. She followed all directions as well as administered meds flawlessly. Thank you, Lauren! - Spice”
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.
“My second time booking with Amber, and she does not disappoint! Thank you for taking such good care of my babies and keeping me posted with detailed reports and photos. I really appreciate you!”

“Very flexible, great communication, and friendly! My pup had a great time and I felt confident that he was in good hands. Would definitely book again!”
“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.”
“Dillon provides exceptional care and attention to my Roman. You can tell Dillon is a natural at this and is very good at what he does because Roman is always really happy to spend time with Dillon!”
“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.”
“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 😊”
“She was absolutely amazing! I'm a rover sitter myself and have been for years and even though she is newer to the game she's doing absolutely everything right! My dog is very sleepy and happy, I will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her”
“Howie and Betsy were convenient, accommodating and flexible with my work schedules. They clearly love dogs and my baby boy was always happy to get out of the car and rush in to their home! Thank you.”
“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.”
“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!”
“All I can say is wow! Fantastic communication, so many photos, and made sure my dogs were doing well and let me know. Every single thing I could’ve asked for. Emily is amazing! Very thoughtful about dogs and dog interaction and checked with me on absolutely everything. She is great and earned both my and my pups trust”
“Kate agreed to a last minute booking and my pup had a wonderful day with her. She was proactive and checked with me ahead of time about his potty schedule and crating option.”
“I highly recommend Kristen and Robert to care for your beloved pet. I felt very comfortable leaving my Roy with them and their family of 3 other doggies. I felt they were very kind, friendly and caring. They sent me pictures and let me know how Roy was getting along. I will definitely contact Kristen and Robert again when I am need of someone to watch my precious little Roy. Thank you !”
“First doggie sitter for our Harper and did we score big time!! Alyson is amazing. Harper came home happy and tired. It must have been a great time!! Thanks Alyson.”
“Jessie was great! She and her little son met us at the door and I instantly felt good about leaving Merlin with her. She sent me some really cute pictures during the course of the day as well. I will definitely keep Jessie in mind when we need doggy day care again!”
“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! 😊”
“Nicole is absolutely amazing! My little guy is almost 15 weeks and loves to be outside. I greatly appreciated her taking him out for walks, making sure he was happy, taking him out for a multitude of potty breaks (sometimes 2 times in an hour if needed) and keeping me updated throughout the day. I highly recommend Nicole, especially if you want your dog to be well cared for!!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different pets my whole life, I grew up with many different pets in my family. I currently have a well trained pet of my own, my friends and family come to me when they are in need of a sitter. I’m currently a part time college student, so I only go to class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, with my remaining time out of school, I have plenty of time to play and hangout with pets! I do not have a fully fenced yard but I do have a gated area on the side of my house. The gated area is big enough for dogs to run and play! I also have a small dog of my own to keep other dogs entertained!

About: I’ve always been an animal person and have cared for animals in all kinds of settings. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant, trained puppies in an organized setting, and grew up on a farm so we got to take care of a lot of animals there. I also worked at a large-animal research station where I was responsible for the daily care of musk ox and reindeer. Beyond my work experience, I’ve spent my whole life caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable with young, energetic animals and am more than happy to give extra patience and attention to senior pets or animals that need a little additional care. I’m currently a Nordic ski coach, so my schedule is fairly flexible during the day. We typically have practice around 4 PM, with occasional meetings throughout the day, but I have plenty of availability before and after practice for walks, drop-ins, feeding, and pet care. I’m able to build pet care into my daily routine and give your animal plenty of attention and companionship while you’re away. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, which is often the best option for keeping them comfortable and sticking to their normal routine. I’m respectful of your home and will make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I can also have dogs stay at my home from time to time when my roommates’ schedules allow, so I’m flexible depending on what works best for you and your pet.
“Lauren is such a wonderful person! Very personable, great communication, and she took such great care of my dog Skylar. They went for an hour-long walk around my neighborhood. Skylar looked so happy and was perfectly tired from the exercise. Highly recommend Lauren and will definitely book again!”
About: I've always been a pet lover. Did pet sitting as a pre-teen and teenager. I had a soul cat for 15 years and a soul dog for 13 years. I have 2 grand-pups who I often dog sit or just take for a day adventure. I've had guinea pigs, hampsters, fish, you name it. I pass you and your animal on the street don't be offended by me going straight to them first! Animals (all animals) seem to love me back too which I LOVE! I'm currently not working or occasionally working remote contract jobs so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your furr baby! And spoil them I will!!!! I have a condo in Minneapolis near the Sculpture Garden and Loring park. I am on the first floor with a patio and yard so plenty of space to do their business or to take a great walk. My building is small and very pet friendly. I'm also comfortable traveling out to your home since I'm central to the area.
“Kayla was a life saver for me this past week! I typically work from home but was traveling for work - so Kayla came over during the workdays to take Barley for a walk. She was flexible, responsive, and loving towards my two-year-old golden. She even offered to bring Barley a raincoat when it was raining one day the days! I will definitely be using Kayla again on my next work trip!”
“Great! We needed a last minute walk. I contacted Timmothy @ 5pm, and soon after he was here to take the doodle for a nice long walk on a frigid winter's eve. I believe they both had a good time. I will contact Timmothy again for future walks. ?????”
About: Hi, I’m Lydia — dog mom, belly rub expert, and professional sniff-spot scout. I’ve spent 15 years learning what dogs actually want (hint: it’s all of the above), and a lifetime growing up with dogs and cats of every personality. Energetic or chill, young or old, I’ve got them covered. My daily and weekly routine revolves around pet care. My dog is my first thought when I wake up and the last thing I worry about before bed. I have an abundance of parks near my home that I can take your fur baby to for both exercise and play. I love a good adventure.
“Amber helped me and Lola so much today ! I very much appreciate all the help and will like to work you again please send me your availability for this week Sincerely Eloísa and Lola ?❄️??”
