“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”
“Mike watched our Pointer on short notice, which was very nice. Really appreciated the time he took to make her and me feel comfortable and welcomed. Per the pictures he sent, she had a good time.”
“Our standard poodle stayed with John and Teri earlier this year while we were gone for a long trip, and then again a second time this weekend. We know he is spoiled and loved and feels right at home both by the photos and updates John and Teri share as well as how our dog acts when we drop him off and pick him up. We are so grateful to know he is having a good time when we are gone! John and Teri are wonderful!”
“Kirsten's home and yard are pet friendly, our young dog loved staying there. We received daily updates & photos, and Kirsten kept us informed of any concerns, e.g. trouble sleeping.”
“Kristen and her family helped us out over a weekend. Her young girls have a lot of energy but she kept and eye on our Leo to be sure they were good with him. He sleeps a lot and they let him do that. All evidence was that Leo was cared for.”
“We felt so comfortable leaving Katniss with Sarah and Richard. Right from our meet and greet we knew we'd have no worries leaving her with their family. You can tell that they (and their kids) have such love for animals. We received an evening update with photos and a video each night of Katniss' stay which showed us just how much fun she was having with their dog, Sadie. We will definitely be using Sarah and Richard again in the future!”
“Carrie clearly gave Leo good care. She sent me pics and gave reports that showed me she was paying attention. Leo was happy when we returned. I would be happy to use Carrie again”
“Emily and Tim were great to leave Lenni with! They were very communicative and sent great updates. Lenni came back happy and wiped out after playing all week with the family and dog. It was great knowing Lenni was able to run around all week in a fenced in yard. I'd definitely reach out to them in the future for similar requests!”
“Trudy was absolutely wonderful! She was very accommodating and had the perfect environment for our pooch. We received daily updates which put us at ease and you can tell she cares deeply about our pet. Lola had a great time with her dog Archie and came home exhausted. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous, but after meeting Trudy and Archie we were instantly put at ease. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“This is the longest I've ever left Mia and I did not want to board her at a kennel for 12 nights. Lan kept me updated with pictures and videos that made me relax and enjoy my vacation more knowing she was well taken care of and had a buddy to play with too. Thanks Lan!”
“Hollie was an awesome and reliable sitter! You can tell how much her heart is with your pet. She cares so much about when only knowing them for a short time. I already have her booked again. You're the best, Hollie!”
“We absolutely loved having Darcie and her family watch Oliver! We got updates every day with several pictures or even a video, which made being away from him so much easier. It was clear from the moment we dropped him off that Oliver was being treated like part of the family, and he came home happy and well-loved. We are honestly obsessed with Darcie and her family and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be using Darcie again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love their dog like their own!”
“Tracy is more than a dog-sitter for us. She’s become a partner in raising a good-boy. She always asks about the commands and signals we use at home so she can be consistent. She sends tons of videos and photos and Ranger loves it there!”
“This is the 4th or 5th time that Kosmo has stayed with Nicole & David, and she just loves it. She's always so excited when we pull up to their house. Nicole & David are terrific - we are so lucky to have found them!”
“They were amazing with Cooper! I feel so comfortable leaving him with them again. You can tell they really love dogs and they take care of their boarders like their own ❤️”

“Heather does a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we are gone. It means a lot to have someone who cares about him to look out for him. We appreciate Heather and trust her completely! Thank you, Heather!”
“We have two cats with one of which who has a medicine she gets every 12 hours, so we needed someone to come at the beginning and end of the day while we were away. It was our first time getting a rover and are so glad we had Jennifer to come check in on our two cats twice a day. I appreciated so much getting a picture every visit and knew they were in good hands and taken care of!!”
“Vicki is the best! We have rebooked with her several times and feel so lucky because she is such a gem. There is always great communication during each visit. She is so patient with my 3 cats—2 of them are very shy and she follows their lead. She always provides top-level care while we are away and that gives us such peace of mind knowing our 3 are in great hands. Thanks so much Vicki!”
“Kyle was always prompt for visits to give my cat his medications. He provided great updates regarding how administration went, was patient with my cat, and was respectful to my house! Cannot recommend him enough!”
“Stephanie did a fantastic job looking after our cats while we were away. Plenty of photos and great detailed updates. She seems to genuinely enjoy and care for them 🖤🖤🖤 I appreciated having a cat lover check in on them and give them some love! Great sitter that I will absolutely use again! Thanks Stephanie!”
“Paige was terrific! She took amazing care of our cats and sent us many updates while we were gone. Our babies were well taken care of. I highly recommend Paige!”
About: Since 2020, I've been providing dependable dog walking and in-home pet care for families in the Inver Grove Heights, West St. Paul, and South St. Paul areas. As a proud British Lab owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets the way you would. In addition to dog walks, I provide drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. Whether it's feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, administering simple care routines, playtime, litter box or cage maintenance, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. My Yard: 5 ft privacy fence entirely enclosing the yard and deck. My Pet: 65lb spayed female British lab who is passive and needs a meet & Greet before we accept Boarding Crating?

Scope us out! Come visit with your pup for a meet & greet! Boarding: Occasionally I do accept dogs to board in our home. The dog needs to meet & Greet our dog first (she is calm, passive spayed). I only accept dogs to boardthat are up to date on vaccinations.

I am flexible during weekdays, mostly for check ins, potty breaks and feeding. In evening and weekends I am open for walks, check ins and feedings. I follow your Pet's routine as you detail it! Walks I require a leash. I send you updates and photos from walks or check ins. My House & Yard: Occasionally, we accept dogs for boarding.

About: I have had cats in my life since I was a child. I have always loved them! One of the first things I did when I was out on my own (that was a long time ago!) was to adopt a kitten. I have been a cat mom ever since. My husband and I currently have 2 cats, Charlie, who is quite a character, and Reese, who is shy and sweet. I have experience with kittens, senior cats, and those with special needs. I would love to treat your kitties with the same love as I give my own.
“Rachel did a fantastic job watching our cats while we were away. She went above and beyond their needs and was very prompt with communication! We will definitely book with her again.”
“Tara is kind and communicative, and she was very good with my two cats. (Truth be told, I think they like her more now than they like me!) Plenty of pictures and updates, too. Would definitely hire her again to look after my furry fellas!”
“Lauren is a wonderful person and is really in tune with what the (cats in my case) need. Lauren is the exact kind of person you want taking care of your beloved kitty cats. :)”
“Mikayla was awesome! She is professional and you can feel secure knowing that your animals are well taken care of! She is also very responsive and detailed. She will take great care of your pets!”

“Brittni took good care of Zadie for the day she was there. There was an incident with another dog, and she made sure to communicate right away and went through the proper channels to make sure everything was documented. Her and her husband took good care of zadie before and after the incident to help her feel safe and calm.”
“Tofte had a great time at Bethany's! She provided great detail on his end-of-day report card and had lots of pictures that showed that he enjoyed his day with her.”
“Mike is fantastic! He’s friendly, has a great spot for dogs to play/be, and always sends us photos/videos while our pup is with him. We appreciate having Mike as a trusted caretaker for our little guy!”
“Carrie is the best! Bear was well taken care of and had so much fun with Willow!! Bear was 100% comfortable going there each day! Thank you, Carrie & Willow - we’ll see you soon!”
“Giovana and her family were so wonderful with Skye. I couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter. Thank you so much for treating Skye like he was part of your family. If I need a sitter again, hopefully you are available. 😁”
“Emily had a huge fenced in back yard that my dog could explore and play with the other dogs. It’s nice that she could get exercise. They liked having her and would love to care for her again.”
“Last Friday was second time for Ruby at Mary’s. I’ve done regular daycare facilities in the past but have been wanting to try a more personal and less busy atmosphere. I feel Ruby is happy to go to Mary’s and is comfortable being there. I feel Ruby is being well cared for and trust Mary.”
“I can't speak highly enough of Kristine! I took a chance on a day care near my work and sent a request to her the night before needing her. Upon meeting her the next morning, all my apprehensions left! She was genuinely welcoming to me, but more importantly, to my pup, Bella. You know how you kinda wish your pet would look back and wonder why you're leaving them especially at a brand new place? Bella pranced right up to Kristine's house and was ready for the day's adventure. Clearly, I was more nervous than Bella. Kristine sent me an update within the first hour to let me know Bella was doing fine. It was even more exciting to hear that my little Bella was playing well with Kristine's bigger dog, Gio. What a twosome they were! Thank you, Kristine, for making this work emergency of mine doable and caring for Bella so lovingly.”
“This was our first experience using Lynn to provide an afternoon of daycare for our two, 1-1/2 yr old labs Maggie and Willow. Lynn met with us for a visit before we booked this daycare service and we found Lynn to be very knowledgeable, confident, cheerful and pleasant to work with. She did a great job answering all of questions and gave us the time we needed to ask them. On the day of daycare she took extra care in introducing our pups to the other dogs since Maggie can be very timid and a bit insecure. Everything went really well and by all indications Maggie and Willow had a great time. We will certainly book future stays with Lynn.”

About: I’ve been caring for my current dog for 5 years, previously I had a pup that I cared for 2 years. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk their pups, keep them fed on schedule. Those early experiences taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me, and that long‑standing trust from the people around me is something I’m really proud of. I am also a huge fan of training pets, though im not certified to do so as yet. This is currently my full time job at the moment as I transition in the workforce. That means more time for your pet, more time for play and fun or just naps. My space is clean, pet‑friendly, and thoughtfully arranged to keep every pet safe and comfortable. I’ve created a home environment where pets can feel relaxed, stimulated, and genuinely cared for. My neighborhood has beautiful, safe trails just a short walk away, so dogs get plenty of outdoor time, fresh air, and enriching adventures suited to their energy level. Inside, I’ve set up a designated nap room — a quiet, cozy space where pets can unwind, recharge, or enjoy some peaceful alone time whenever they need it.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have two toy poodles who are our world. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. We also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible and provide daily photo and video updates for peace of mind. My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away! 🐾 My husband and I both work from home, so your dogs will definitely not be lonely during the day! We are able to give frequent walks, potty breaks and play time, and lots of snuggles! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and two friendly toy poodles who enjoy the company of other dogs. I closely supervise all interactions and work to make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure. If your dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated, I can accommodate that as well. Dogs are welcome on our couches and, if that’s what they’re used to at home, they’re welcome to sleep on the bed at night, too. I do my best to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you’re away.
About: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I walk, run and play with them. I treat every pet like a friend, offering comfort, attention and emotional connection. I bathe my dog about every other month. We have a routine in the morning with a walk before breakfast. Sometimes a walk around lunch time and another one after work is done. He is well loved and treated like a family member. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am in my office 3 half days and full time at home the other 2 days. I could stop at someone’s place on my way home to spend time with a dog and walk them. I can also stop over after work and later in the evening. In my home I have a fenced in yard that my dog can run free and play. If I am in a clients home I would make sure that there is nothing that the dog/puppy could get into after spending time with them/walking them.
About: I have a bachelors degree in animal conservation and marine biology. I also grew up with both cats and dogs, as well as rodents, fish, and lizards. I've been pet sitting for 7 years and worked at a doggy daycare. I love all animals big and small and am comfortable with big dogs and all manner of temperaments in cats. I'm currently available for boarding 7 days a week. I'm never away from my apartment for long and will dedicate all of my time to caring for your pet! I live in a safe apartment and area that's pet friendly! I don't have any cats/dogs, just a friendly leopard gecko! I also don't leave food laying around and pets are allowed on my furniture!
“Jessica and her husband were incredible care takers for my little Chihuahua Yorky mix ! She has separation anxiety and she did so great and felt so comfortable with them. She was in great hands and I highly recommend them to anyone needing care. My dog especially loved exploring their fenced in yard !”
“My pup Rosie had a BLAST with Andrea. She got to run and play with other pups and she came home happy and tired! Andrea is super dog-savvy and really can read each dog and their personality and what they need.”
“Mary was great. She welcomed us into her home, which was very pet friendly with a fenced yard and gave our Sadie lots of attention. We got updates and really appreciated how much care she showed.”
“Carrie, Craig and family were great. They were so loving with my dog with SA. The communication was good too. Thank you so much, Jocho will be back, and hopefully he won't be that sad when I leave🥰.”

About: I recently retired early, sold my small business, and am excited to spend more time doing something that has always been a big part of my life - caring for and loving animals. I have been a pet mom and caregiver for many years, looking after furry friends of every age, personality, and quirk. I have 2 kitties, one who is an outgoing crazy character and the other sweet and shy. We sadly lost our Goldendoodle recently and I'd love to share cuddles and walks with your dog(s). I am reliable, patient and calm - and treat every pet with the same affection and care I give my own. I recently retired so my schedule is very flexible for daily drop-ins, overnight stays, walks, playtime, and cuddles. Have a last-minute trip or unexpected work meeting? I have the time and treats! When caring for your pets, I put their safety and comfort first. With many years of experience caring for pets, I know that each is unique, with different personalities and comfort level with new people. I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is for everything to feel just as safe, calm, and familiar as when you are there. I follow your routines closely, keep your home tidy, and pay attention to all of the little things that help your pet feel secure. What sets me apart is that during my career, I traveled quite a bit and hired pet sitters to stay with my kitties and dog. I know, from a client's perspective, what was important to me and my fur babies. I will send you daily updates and photos (unless that's not your preference), so you and your pets can feel completely comfortable and stress-free.
“Carrie was amazing! Great communication, on time and great pictures of our dog for her walks! Millie seemed like she had a blast with Carrie and had lots of play dates with her dog! I felt very comfortable leaving Millie in her hands. Thanks again!”

“Erin was a life saver this week! With my husband out of town for a week and me with my hands full with a three year old and baby, getting out to walk our energetic and LOUD husky was going to be a challenge. Erin was always right on time and such a great communicator. I liked and trusted her immediately and Aurora Dog warmed up to her right away as well. She started waiting at the door for her in the morning. Thank you so much Erin!”
About: Between my own family and my wife's, I've had alot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've house sat for elderly dogs and raised and trained our own puppy. I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.
“Kristine does a great job with my dog. He can be stubborn or get scared on walks and want to go home. If that is the case she will stay and play with him in the backyard. But she also gets creative and communicates with me on strategies to get him to walk and it has worked. Overall great communication and very timely. Would recommend her to walk or care for your dog.”
About: I've been an all-animal lover my whole life. I grew up with dogs, bunnies, birds, turtles, guinea pigs, and even had a snake. To me pets are family, and when I’m with yours, I’ll treat them like my own and make sure they stay safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently a fur mom to Miley, a high-energy Rottie mix who taught me how to handle big, dog-reactive dogs in many situations. I’m also a fur mom to Bubbles, my 10-year old little Holland Lop nugget. I've administered many kinds of meds over the years, trained pets, cared for recovering pets after surgery, and cared for seniors. Any size, any breed, or any kind of creature is just another one to love. (Except maybe a tarantula... I can't do spiders.) My schedule is flexible since I have the ability to work from home. When booking, we can always discuss your expectations for time spent in your home with your pets. As a baseline for house sitting, I guarantee 9 hours overnight, plus a minimum of 1 hour every 4-6 hours during the day and evening. I love caring for pets in your home or neighborhood for their comfort and safety. Being in their own environment helps pets relax and adjust more easily while getting to know me. I do have pets of my own, but they do not accompany me during any service. • I also believe communication is key. I ask every new client a few initial questions and require a meet-and-greet to make sure all parties are comfortable before the first service. Also, during your pet’s time with me, I’ll send 1–2 message updates with photos per day (depending on the service) so you can see how things are going and have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: A Loving Home Away From Home 🐾 I love animals of all sizes and personalities—from big dogs to tiny pups, and from energetic adventurers to professional couch potatoes! I have years of experience caring for my own cats and dogs, along with training experience through courses such as Puppy Training 101 and training for fearful/reactive dogs. I’m also an experienced foster provider for two local animal rescues. Fostering requires additional vetting, training, and an in-home visit, and I’m proud to help rescue dogs on their journey to finding their forever homes. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, and I’m happy to care for cats, too. For boarding, I’m unable to accept dogs who are aggressive toward people or other animals so that I can keep everyone safe and comfortable. I also telework multiple days per week, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks and plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your pup wants walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a cozy place to relax, I’m happy to tailor their stay to what they enjoy most! 🐶💕 On weekends, I’m home most of the time. I also work from home multiple days per week, so pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I may occasionally be out for a short time for work, errands, or shopping, but I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and care throughout the day. In my home, your pet can enjoy a mix of playtime, walks, relaxation, and social time with our resident pup, depending on their personality and comfort level. For care in your home, I’m available for drop-in visits and sitting, including check-ins, playtime, potty breaks, and walks. I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual routine and needs. For boarding I will require proof of vaccination/current flea prevention. I will not accept behaviors or aggressive dogs in my home unfortunately.
“Isabella was reliable, punctual, and communicative. Isabella sent reports and photos daily. Luna was excited to walk with her every day and came home weel exercised,ready to rest!”

We would only boarding a dog in our home that is up to date on vaccinations
About: I have a flexible schedule and am available for quick check-ins or over night care. I grew up with cats and dogs since I was 13 years old. I am capable of taking care of kittens, puppies, and elder animals that have special needs. My current job allows me to work remote when needed. I can tailor my schedule around your cat(s) or dog(s) daily schedule and current routine. We currently have two dogs and consistently take care of friends and families pets. I like to meet or communicate with any potential clients and animals to get a better understanding of their routine and needs.
About: Weather your looking for a dog sitter or some walks here and there i’m your girl — I’ve grown up with animals all my life and would love to have your fur friend for as long as you need! I’m currently in school for dental hygiene and currently work as an orthodontic dental assistant— Always home on the weeksdays after work and on the weekends I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have a friendly loving spring spaniel who loves having friends stay. We love long walks after work and some play time in the backyard.
About: My family and friends have depended on me for many years to take care of their cats and dogs. I am a reliable pet-sitter who loves animals. I work full-time from my home Monday through Thursday and can adjust my schedule accordingly to meet the needs of my clients. My availability Friday through Sunday is very flexible. I do not have a dog, but have walked/taken care of dogs of my family and friends. I have a cat who runs my household. I have had cats in the past with specific medical and dietary needs (diabetes requiring insulin shots, kidney disease requiring a special diet and have administered medicine numerous times over the past 28 years).
About: I’ve been caring for my current dog for 5 years, previously I had a pup that I cared for 2 years. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk their pups, keep them fed on schedule. Those early experiences taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me, and that long‑standing trust from the people around me is something I’m really proud of. I am also a huge fan of training pets, though im not certified to do so as yet. This is currently my full time job at the moment as I transition in the workforce. That means more time for your pet, more time for play and fun or just naps. My space is clean, pet‑friendly, and thoughtfully arranged to keep every pet safe and comfortable. I’ve created a home environment where pets can feel relaxed, stimulated, and genuinely cared for. My neighborhood has beautiful, safe trails just a short walk away, so dogs get plenty of outdoor time, fresh air, and enriching adventures suited to their energy level. Inside, I’ve set up a designated nap room — a quiet, cozy space where pets can unwind, recharge, or enjoy some peaceful alone time whenever they need it.
About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I now have a dog of my own, which has given me hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, playtime, and maintaining a routine. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m a teacher and am currently on summer break, so I have plenty of availability right now. My schedule will become more limited toward the end of August when the school year begins. Currently, I’m unable to care for dogs in my home, but I’m happy to come to my clients’ homes to provide the care their dogs need.

“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”
“Mike watched our Pointer on short notice, which was very nice. Really appreciated the time he took to make her and me feel comfortable and welcomed. Per the pictures he sent, she had a good time.”
“Our standard poodle stayed with John and Teri earlier this year while we were gone for a long trip, and then again a second time this weekend. We know he is spoiled and loved and feels right at home both by the photos and updates John and Teri share as well as how our dog acts when we drop him off and pick him up. We are so grateful to know he is having a good time when we are gone! John and Teri are wonderful!”
“Kirsten's home and yard are pet friendly, our young dog loved staying there. We received daily updates & photos, and Kirsten kept us informed of any concerns, e.g. trouble sleeping.”
“Kristen and her family helped us out over a weekend. Her young girls have a lot of energy but she kept and eye on our Leo to be sure they were good with him. He sleeps a lot and they let him do that. All evidence was that Leo was cared for.”
“We felt so comfortable leaving Katniss with Sarah and Richard. Right from our meet and greet we knew we'd have no worries leaving her with their family. You can tell that they (and their kids) have such love for animals. We received an evening update with photos and a video each night of Katniss' stay which showed us just how much fun she was having with their dog, Sadie. We will definitely be using Sarah and Richard again in the future!”
“Emily and Tim were great to leave Lenni with! They were very communicative and sent great updates. Lenni came back happy and wiped out after playing all week with the family and dog. It was great knowing Lenni was able to run around all week in a fenced in yard. I'd definitely reach out to them in the future for similar requests!”
“Trudy was absolutely wonderful! She was very accommodating and had the perfect environment for our pooch. We received daily updates which put us at ease and you can tell she cares deeply about our pet. Lola had a great time with her dog Archie and came home exhausted. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous, but after meeting Trudy and Archie we were instantly put at ease. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Hollie was an awesome and reliable sitter! You can tell how much her heart is with your pet. She cares so much about when only knowing them for a short time. I already have her booked again. You're the best, Hollie!”
“We absolutely loved having Darcie and her family watch Oliver! We got updates every day with several pictures or even a video, which made being away from him so much easier. It was clear from the moment we dropped him off that Oliver was being treated like part of the family, and he came home happy and well-loved. We are honestly obsessed with Darcie and her family and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be using Darcie again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love their dog like their own!”
“Tracy is more than a dog-sitter for us. She’s become a partner in raising a good-boy. She always asks about the commands and signals we use at home so she can be consistent. She sends tons of videos and photos and Ranger loves it there!”
“This is the 4th or 5th time that Kosmo has stayed with Nicole & David, and she just loves it. She's always so excited when we pull up to their house. Nicole & David are terrific - we are so lucky to have found them!”
