“Mochi spent a full week with Carine and her family, and it went very well. Communication was excellent - Carine was attentive to all the details we shared and very responsive via text. We received updates throughout each day and during our trip, which we really appreciated. My kids loved seeing photos and updates of Mochi playing and cuddling with her kids. He was truly treated like one of their own, and it was clear how much he was loved, he will genuinely be missed by their family. Carine was also thoughtful about managing energy levels when another dog was staying at the same time and always checked in first. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mochi in her care and would absolutely use her again.”

About: Savannah here! I have three dogs and an orange kitty. I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for senior dogs and pets that may need a little extra patience, attention, and love. I’ve also been around dog breeding for 10+ years, which has given me experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to provide care that fits their needs! My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to help your pup get fresh air, exercise, and a little adventure during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you're gone. You can book up to three drop-ins per day! Every pet is different, so I’m always happy to accommodate extra needs or customize visits to fit your pet’s routine. My availability is flexible, feel free to reach out with your preferred dates and times! • I always offer a (free) 10-minute meet-and-greet before any drop-in or walking service. This gives us a chance to meet, helps your pet get familiar with me, and lets us go over their routine and any other needs. Meet-and-greets are not required to book with me, they are simply available if you’d like a little extra comfort and peace of mind before our first visit!
“Our second time booking with Emma and all went perfectly once again! Our cat Billie quickly approved & warmed up to her. We appreciated the care she put into the check ins and photos/updates while we were away. Thank you again Emma!”
About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.
About: Throughout my life I have lived with nine cats and one dog! One of my cats lived to be 24 and I am currently living with a 17-year-old cat, so I have experience with cats of all ages, from kittens all the way to seniors! I love caring for cats of all ages. I know how to give a cat oral and liquid medications and I have even done in-home hospice care where I gave my cat subcutaneous fluids. I have also trained some of my cats to go outside on a harness. Of course I enjoy playing with cats and just chilling with them too! I also grew up with a west highland white terrier named Duffy. I love dogs, I have to pet every one I see when I am out walking with my husband. I really love animals of all kinds and have even rescued a few wild animals I've seen in distress.
“Regina did a wonderful job looking after our cats while we visited family. It was a relief to know they were being looked after and to get photo updates. I would be happy to book with Regina again.”
“We were looking for a last-minute dog sitter on a holiday weekend, and Christina responded to us within a minute and moved forward quickly with getting the pups. She sent pictures and kept us updated, would recommend!”
“Elizabeth was a wonderful pet and house sitter for us and would heartily recommend her to others. She was great with our elderly cat, who was happy and calm upon our return. She had clear, frequent, and professional communication that helped us enjoy our time away, knowing all was well at home.”
“From the minute I met Sydney I knew she was going to be a trust worthy gal to take care of my granny cat. Sydney has been so kind,punctual , sent pictures, videos and updates every visit, even spend some extra off the clock time to pet my cat finish her nap on Sydney’s lap. I would recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a a sitter for their pet .”
About: I have always loved animals, whether it be a mouse or a horse. I also love to help people out, especially with dogs and cats. I’ve babysat one dog long-term (about 6 months), and I have been babysitting the same dog for about 2 years, since he was a 8 week old puppy. I also had a dog who passed away a few years ago, and had to take care of her in her senior years and help her get up as she had hip problems. In between dog-sitting, I did babysit dogs for a week, and usually wouldn’t mix dogs unless owners were okay with it. (these owners were from my work or teachers from my high school). I am currently attending college in Duluth. However, I do come home quite a bit Fridays-Mondays. In the summer, I will be very flexible though! I take dogs out on leashes as it makes me feel most comfortable but fenced in yards while watching the dog also makes me feel comfy as well.
About: I am a patient and attentive sitter, and will do my absolute best to meet all of your pets' needs while they are in my care. I will treat your furry friends as well as I would treat my own. I have owned/cared for a cat for 8 years and counting.
About: I have had a cat since I was 10, they quickly stole a spot in my heart. I grew up with dogs but since getting a cat gravitate in their direction. So much love for cats of any size, age, and breed. I am currently a senior at UWL and have an on campus job. I have plenty of time to dedicate to the fur babies.

“Our dog always leaves happy from her stays with Jeremiah and his family which gives us great peace of mind. He has been so flexible and has had great communication with us on the many days we’ve had our Husky stay for doggy day-care. I highly recommend Jeremiah!”
“Coco spent her first day with Sonja, Adam & their pups. I felt completely comfortable leaving her with them. They are personable, warm, & kind. They are clearly, comfortable & knowledgeable about dogs. Coco made herself at home within the first five minutes she was in their home, and had not a care when I left. She clearly had a blast playing with everyone. The pictures tell a story of a happy, relaxed dog who had a boat load of fun, & went home tired. Thank you Sonja & Adam.”
“Jody takes amazing care of my pup. She is very diligent and caring, and has gone above and beyond for Roma when she has been sick. I trust Jody and continue to bring my dog for regular pet sitting. Jody is great.”
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and truly understand how important they are as part of the family. Growing up with dogs taught me how to care for them with patience, attention, and lots of love. Today, I have a French Bulldog named Howard, who we treat like our child—so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Due to my career as a flight attendant, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to spend extra time caring for your furry friend, just as they deserve! Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company, I’ll treat your pup like one of my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all ages, personalities and sizes. I am currently employed as a flight attendant, so my schedule varies month to month! I can often trade trips to change my schedule if needed. Being a flight attendant also allows me to have more days off each month than the average person does with their work schedules. I am more than happy to work with my clients to move my work schedule around to accommodate their service requests, if given enough notice. I am happy to accommodate any requested safety asks that you may have for you pup! While I do not have a fenced in yard, we have a very large property. I also have a very long yard leash if you wish to use that instead of a standard length leash. Whatever ensures that my client feels safe leaving their fur baby, I am more than happy to accommodate!
About: With 30 years of dog‑care experience, I’ve done it all—groomer’s apprentice, breeder house‑sitter, and professional treat‑dispenser. Your pup gets a work‑from‑home buddy, a fenced yard for maximum zoomies, and all the cuddles they can handle. Special needs? Meds? Extra attention? I’ve got it covered. Basically, your dog’s about to live their best life. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I work from home, so I’m able to give dogs consistent attention from morning to night. With 30 years of experience—including working as a groomer’s apprentice and house‑sitting for dog breeders—caring for pups is part of my everyday rhythm. I take regular breaks for potty trips, playtime, and zoomies in the fenced yard, and I offer both daycare and boarding, depending on what your pup needs. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I provide a secure home environment, a safely enclosed yard for outdoor fun, and plenty of cozy indoor spaces for rest and snuggles. I’m experienced with medications, special‑needs care, and senior pups, and I treat every dog like my own—patient, calm, and attentive. You can trust that your pup will receive reliable, loving care and a true home‑away‑from‑home experience.
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats, am a fur baby auntie, and live in a neighborhood that has lots of good sniffs for a furry friend. With the hybrid work style, my husband or I am home 2 days of the week and in office 3 days. This gives us a ton of flexibility to spend time with yiur fur babies! We have a 2 year old and a 4 year old who love furry friends when they're home from daycare. I take dogs out for a daily walk and I will let them out to go potty based on their needs. For cats I will change their litter box daily. For either cats or dogs, I will feed them according to their normal schedule. My family and I will give as much love as the fur baby is comfortable with.
“Joey is great! I never worry about my dog when he stays there. He was so excited to go when he did day care and would run to the door when we arrived. Definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with a part of your family. As a dog owner myself, I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience with puppies, crate training, leash walking, feeding schedules, basic commands, tricks, and providing lots of exercise and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind during your time apart. My goal is simple: give your dog a fun, safe experience and give you confidence that they’re in good hands. I especially enjoy working with puppies and high-energy dogs and understand the importance of consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement. Dogs are already a big part of my daily routine. As a dog owner, my schedule is built around walks, training, playtime, feeding routines, and providing consistent care. I’m actively pursuing opportunities in the dog care and training field, so I genuinely enjoy spending time working with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, reinforcement of good habits, or a structured routine while you’re away, I’m committed to providing attentive and reliable care. Safety, structure, and positive experiences are my top priorities. I’m currently expanding my knowledge in dog behavior and training with the goal of building a career in the dog care industry. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, triggers, and training goals so I can provide consistent care that matches what they’re used to at home. As a dog owner and someone interested in dog training, I believe in positive reinforcement, patience, and clear communication. I closely supervise dogs during walks, playtime, and interactions, and I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic care, and using crates when requested. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. With decades of experience as a pet owner and sitter, I know how to keep tails wagging and owners worry-free. I work from home full-time, so I can be home with your furry friend all day. I can give walks at any time and provide care whenever they need it. Dogs in our home are welcome to roam free if they are house-trained. We allow dogs in all parts of our house. We can set up gates or crates if you prefer your dog to have their own space.
About: I’ve fostered dogs since I was in fourth grade, sometimes multiple at a time. Varying in size and age, sometimes cats as well as dogs. I am currently a junior at UWL and work an on campus job. I am going to school full time and my job does block off some of my time but I am willing to work my schedule around the fur babies. I live in the dorms so I will not be able to take the dogs into my home but I can easily take care of them in your home and easily crate if necessary. They will be provided with plenty of love and attention.
“Ace is a rescue and has bad anxiety. Yuliya was so patient with him and updated me frequently on how Ace did. Ace had lots of cuddles and care. It is so much better than staying at a commercial pet daycare. Thanks Yuliya!”
“Bagel loved her time at Carine’s home. She had so much fun with the kids and other pups staying with them and slept good at home afterward. We got lots of pics which is so fun! Thanks for taking such great care of bagel!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Steph — a full-time pet caregiver through Rover and the heart behind a growing pet photography business. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13 and have experience with all kinds of animals, from high-energy pups to quiet companions. I share my life with my dog Scooby, who’s a big lovebug and gets along great with both people and other animals, and two leopard geckos, Helios and Haku, who each have their own little quirks and charm. Over the years, I’ve worked closely with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also have hands-on experience with pet nutrition and wellness—I've worked with a variety of healthy foods, natural supplements, and holistic care routines. I’m great at picking up on subtle signs when something’s off and take pet health seriously. Whether we’re playing fetch, going for a walk, or just snuggling on the couch, I’m all about creating a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared for. I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I always follow your instructions to a T—because your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s happiness. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, understood, and completely at ease while you’re away. I am very flexible with my schedule so please feel free to send me a request or a direct message to sent up an appointment! I have worked with certified fear free trainers as well as being a groomer for 3 years now I am very aware of animal body language and how to meet their needs so they feel safe in their environment. I do have a dachshund mix named Scooby that is incredibly friendly with Small to XL dogs. She’s always up for having a play date!

As a dog owner, my schedule is built around walks, training, playtime, feeding routines, and providing consistent care. I’m actively pursuing opportunities in the dog care and training field, so I genuinely enjoy spending time working with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, reinforcement of good habits, or a structured routine while you’re away, I’m committed to providing attentive and reliable care. Safety, structure, and positive experiences are my top priorities. I’m currently expanding my knowledge in dog behavior and training with the goal of building a career in the dog care industry. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, triggers, and training goals so I can provide consistent care that matches what they’re used to at home. As a dog owner and someone interested in dog training, I believe in positive reinforcement, patience, and clear communication. I closely supervise dogs during walks, playtime, and interactions, and I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic care, and using crates when requested. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I have experience in taking care of elderly dogs and young pups. I have trained my dogs and other dogs to sit, down, wait and shake. I live in the Lake Minnetonka area. I have a Chihuahua/Terrier/Maltese Mix and he is 3 years old. I can provide the need for walks and drop in visits and house sitting. I am available during the early morning and late afternoon and evening any day of the week. I work at a school in the Minnetonka School District. I am available all holidays and summer break. I request to have clear instructions for walking/sitting dogs for harnesses, leashes, feeding, and toy preferences. I have a vet that I would use for emergencies.

“Dee dee was great and our dog loved her! She sent lots of photos and updates while we were gone. Dee Dee also helped us out last minute and was super accommodating. Overall, great experience!!”
“Cassandra and Eric (along with their two sweet girls) took great care of our pup. The daily photos/videos were wonderful to receive. They were good communicators and were flexible with drop off and pick up times. Most importantly, it felt like they treated Rosie as part of their family.”
“What a blessing Trace is! Her place couldn't be better suited for dog care. A huge fenced in yard front pirch & dog run. She also has 4 Basset hounds!! Lily took immediate attention to Teddy. Such a wonderful time she had.She is so kind, knowledgeable and detailed oriented. My 3 mo Great Pyrenees...Lily Lu felt right @ home. Didn't even look back at me to say goodbye! I have her on speed dial and looking forward to many outings to her home for Lily Lu! She's the best!! So is her grandson, Evan!”
“Mochi spent a full week with Carine and her family, and it went very well. Communication was excellent - Carine was attentive to all the details we shared and very responsive via text. We received updates throughout each day and during our trip, which we really appreciated. My kids loved seeing photos and updates of Mochi playing and cuddling with her kids. He was truly treated like one of their own, and it was clear how much he was loved, he will genuinely be missed by their family. Carine was also thoughtful about managing energy levels when another dog was staying at the same time and always checked in first. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mochi in her care and would absolutely use her again.”
“Brittany was great! I picked up Willie after staying at Brittany’s for the weekend while we were out of town. He was happy and tired, after playing with doggie friends, enjoying her fenced backyard, and getting snuggle time. I’ll gladly use Brittany again!”
“We were very happy with Mochi's stay at Alicia and Simon's. They sent us pictures and videos and communicated with us the entire time we were gone. Mochi was so sad to leave their house and must have had fun because he has pretty much been sleeping since he got back!”
“Nicholas had a great time at Regina's house for the whole week. Had fun playing with her dog and spending time outside and on the deck. You can tell Regina loves the dogs and taking a good care of them. Nicholas was happy there.”
“She took the best care of Mabel! We received lots of photos and she was flexible on pick up time when we needed to adjust. Would absolutely recommend and will be bringing our sweet pup back!”
“Kyle was so kind to take our geriatric, diabetic dog very last minute. He took excellent care of her and we appreciated his communication with us. We would highly recommend Kyle.”

“Miranda did a great job with our pup, nice meet and greet which made us feel good about where he was staying. Very dog friendly and comfortable. We asked for daily pictures and that was no problem. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Kristen and her family were incredible to our dogs. They were very accommodating to their needs. They allowed them to chew up the toys we brought for them and were cool with the mess that came along with it. The treats that were provided were given out. Kristen was very flexible with drop off pick up time. I was pleasantly surprised to see my dogs were not the excised to see me when I returned to pick them up. Which truly tells me that they were given a ton of love attention and affection. I’m very thankful that they watched our dogs. I definitely will use them again.”
