Meganne and her family were so nice and took great care of Sport. She listened intently to learn about his medication and made sure she knew what he needed. They took fantastic care of him and he enjoyed hanging with her dogs and being in the country. I recommend Meganne and family to anyone looking for a caring, open-spaced settng for their dog.

Beth and her children watched our dogs at their home for a few nights and they were well cared for and loved by all of them. I think the kids had a great time watching and snuggling with them. I even received a couple pictures of the dogs and the kids! Loved it. We will definitely use them again.

Heidi (and Easton) took such good care of Cain. Couldn’t be more happy with the updates and how it went. 24 hours later Cain is still tired, so I know he got a lot of exercise and attention.

Madison Lake, MN, 56063

About: I’m recently retired and have had dogs all my life, since being 7 years old. I had to put my last fur baby to sleep in January 2026 and will be traveling over the next few years so don’t want to get another right now, and really miss having a doggo around! I used Rover quite a bit when I had dogs so would love to pay it forward and help someone else. Plus then I hopefully will get my fix of dogs! I’m currently very flexible, having just retired. I usually walk first thing in the morning and then after dinner with our British lab, Lilly. Live in Madison Lake but willing to drive to Mankato or St. Peter, for pet sitting or dog walking. We have a great home for dogs, so am happy to do pet sitting in our home too. We have a small British lab but she is not in the house much; she is a sweet, lover dog that prefers to hang outside in her luxury kennel outside. We walk her twice daily, and she gets along with all dogs we meet.

Best. Rover. Sitters. EVER. We are so thankful we found Morgan and Jennifer for our sweet old snuggly beagle. They treated him like he was their own fur baby. Snuggles and treats and playtime. We got plenty of updates and videos. And when our family had a medical emergency during vacation, Jennifer and Morgan were more than willing to accommodate us however they could. Thank you!! We are so glad we have a place for Olaf to stay where he is happy!

About: Hi! My name is Sage and I specialize in animal caretaking and welfare. I have lived my entire life with at least one animal in the house and I have been dog sitting on and off since high school. I am certified in three years of dog training and currently live with my lovely cat, London. I’ve never met a pet that I haven’t loved, and past employers would describe me as dependable, easy-going, and kind. Now that I am starting school again, my hours of availability have become a bit slim. However, my weekends are entirely open, and I have enough time between classes to provide service to any animal who needs my attention. In my home, I live with my cat London, and four other housemates. If your animal stayed with me, they would never feel alone and would always have somebody in the house that can watch them or be there for all their needs. We have a lovely backyard full of grass, a back deck for lounging and sunbathing and a large neighborhood for daily walks. Your pet would feel like a king or queen in a castle! :)

Kaitlyn took good care of my cats while I was on vacation. She is very dependable and punctual with her visits. One of my cats hid (I knew that would happen) when she came but was provided with the food and water that she needed. My second cat bonded very well with her and got the TLC on top of being fed. I would certainly recommend her and I will use her in the future.

About: While my main work as a dog walker was regarding dog care, I also provided infrequent care professionally for various cats over the years. I have also lived with cats of roommates and taken care of them like I would my own pet. Beyond that, I've provided care for the felines of friends and family, from kittens who are snuggle bugs to older cats who really just want to nap in their favorite sun spot.

About: I love dogs, the larger the better! I have watched dogs for more than 7 years now. I have looked after dogs from Miniature Poodles to Coonhounds. I have taken care of new born puppies all the way up to senior dogs that are blind. I have taken care of a chow that was super strong and most people couldn't walk her, but I could. I have even helped while my dog gave birth to her puppies. I currently own a Hungarian Vizsla and a Treeing Walker Coonhound they have a ton of energy and needs a lot of attention. I would love to help with your furbaby! I am currently working for Amazon. So I do work Monday-Thursday from 9:30am-8pm. I am delivering way out of town so I won’t be able to be to take out your pup for walks or potty breaks during that time. I will give your pet the attention they deserve and not ignore them. I love playing games with dogs and taking them on long walks.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I’ve cared for my own dogs for my whole life, so I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they’re safe and happy. While I’m new to pet sitting professionally, I’m dependable, attentive, and I’ll care for your dog like they’re my own. Whether they love long walks, playing fetch, or just hanging out, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m free every evening and usually have an hour available between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. if your dog needs a potty break, walk, or some company. I don’t list weekends as regular availability, but I’m available some weekends too, so feel free to reach out! I understand that every dog is different, so I’ll care for yours based on their individual needs and routine. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep your dog safe, and make sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and care. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I've spent my entire life caring for animals (my own and others'). Over the years, I've worked for a vet clinic, the Lake Superior Zoo, raised animals on a farm, and supported various pet rescue organizations. I believe our pets are family and deserve good food, company, and entertainment. I'm an empty nester with lots of space and love to give. :) I'm fortunate enough to live very close to my workplace. I'm also grateful that my schedule and my team are absolutely supportive of me taking care of my pet guests. I treat my own fur besties (Pippin, a 6 yr old neutered Jack Russel/Poodle mix and Sirius, a super friendly fluffball cat) like they're true family. Back yard squirrel chasing, walks around Spring Lake Park, and LOTS of snuggles are part of our daily life. If your dog needs some alone time (away from other pets), I've got spaces in my home that allow for it (sunny enclosed porch, anyone?)

About: I have spent the past few summers doing overnight dog sitting in my hometown just about every weekend. I have been recommended and continue to get new jobs. I am a part time nursing student at Bethany Lutheran College so I have plenty of free time. I also serve in the army national Gaurd. I have now been dog walking and dog sitting for over 4 years in Mankato and absolutely love it. I would love for more opportunities. I am a part time student at Bethany Lutheran College and have classes in the morning so I have plenty of free time in the afternoon and overnight. I also get plenty of breaks between classes to check up. Over the past four summers of my dog sitting career I have had multiple clients that have me stay at their house over the weekends while they are gone. I love running and exercising so the animals are sure to stay active. I have not run into any problems in the years I have pet sit before.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was younger and I can walk, bath, play and give treats to your furry babies. I have experience with distributing medications. I understand having a healthy diet for your animals, if they need to be fed a certain diet, I will follow there meal plan. I love training puppies and taking care of senior dogs. When your furry baby is left with me, I treat all dogs like they are my own. I am currently not working, I stay home with my three year old, I am available during the week, weekends and overnights. I have a golden doodle, she is 9 and loves any dogs. I do not have a fenced in area, my dog does not need a leash, but she respects other dogs that do need leashes. When it is nice, my dog likes to sub bathe in the sun. I like to let my dog out every 2-3 hours, unless its an old dog, then I understand to do every hour or even a new puppy every 30 minutes. I have a baby proofed house, so animals are safe in my household. If your dog needs medication, I can distribute medications. We love playing catch and walks in this household. Any dog is welcome into my home, even if your dog doesn't like other dogs, I will accommodate your dogs needs to make sure they are happy. I currently work overnights, 6 days a week, but can accommodate any needs for your furry babes. I can move my daytime schedule through the week, since it is fairly flexible. I do not have a fenced in backyard, but I will use walking leashes to let them outside and/or if you like your dogs to just roam, I’m okay with that too. I will have eyes on your pets to make sure they are safe.

About: I have worked at my local dog daycare and have experience outside of taking care of my own animals growing up. I have also pet-sat dogs before for family members and friends. I am using this as my only job, and don't have any other priorities besides being a student. I don't have any classes I have to go to; they are all online, so I will have a free schedule. I have a yard that your pets will be able to play and no other animals live in my home. I always prioritize safety, following feeding instructions, walk routines, and home rules closely. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and ensure pets are calm, well-cared for, and not left alone.

If 10 stars was an option I’d give 10, but 5 will have to do. This was our first time booking with Rover and I could not be more happy. We hit the jackpot with Elsie. She was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures! Absolutely love that we can have someone care so well for our pup in the comfort of his own home!

Kaitlyn was great! My dog can be a real chaos monster but she’s so wonderfully patient, that she was able to get him out on walks and happy. I’ll definitely ask for her again if I need somebody in the future!

About: I walked dogs with a company for 4 years while living in New York City. The company specialized in individual household care, walking only the dogs of the household at a time. So no mess of leashes, just one-on-one (or two) dogs at a time. (I even got to walk Jimmy Buffett's dogs while working there) I cared for all manner and breed of dog, from ones that never ran out of energy and loved everyone, to dogs that just wanted to sit on the couch and didn't care about other dogs. And before that, my family always had at least one dog around while my mother trained puppies to be service animals. I have also provided care for cats over the years, having lived with them and cared for cats in dog/cat homes. My care for animals runs deep, and I love to see them get what they need to really be happy and healthy. I pay close attention to each animal and try to understand what they need and meet them where they're at, from unruly puppies to senior dogs in their sunset years. I'm currently self-employed, so I'm able to offer flexible availability to best suit the needs of each pet owner. I've grown up around pets and care deeply for their well-being, so I know how important it is for both owners and pets for the animals to get timely care and exercise. Having worked as a professional dog walker (just 1-2 dogs at a time, as to better give individual attention and care), I know how important it is to clients to be able to rely on a caregiver and trust their pet is in good hands. Each animal has their own needs that need to be accounted for, and those needs may change depending on the day or time of year. Being attentive, creative, and willing to go the extra mile means I'm giving each pet the best care I can each time.

About: I was blessed with my border collie when I was 8 years old, she lived for 14 years and unfortunately passed 2.5 years ago. I take any chance I can get to watch my friends dogs and cats while they’re gone! I work during the weekdays until 4 or 5 pm and have most weekends off. I have an hour lunch some days and could check on your fur baby while I’m home. I know the stress of your fur babies getting into things that could harm them while you’re gone, so if you need them crated up I will make sure they get put away!

About: I have several years of experience from taking care of my own pets as well as other's. I previously owned a cat with a medical condition, so I have medication experience and emergency experience. I have a cat of my own and she gets baths, so you know I am not afraid of a pet being a bit of a handful. But, I added an optional bathing/nail trimming fee of $10, because cat claws are a work hazard. Brushing I am happy to do, every time for free. I have a part time evening job, so I am home most of the day until 4pm - 8pm. I don't go out much, so while in my home, your pet would have constant attention and supervision. My home has two bedrooms, and I converted my second bedroom into a pet room. It provides plenty of space for cats to hang out, including blankets, toys, and a big window to sit in and watch the birds. The bedroom is sectioned off by a gate, but my whole home is open to your pet if they choose to come out. The gate is only there for your pet's privacy, as we have a tortie cat and a corgi dog of our own. They are both very sweet and get along well with cats. We also provide litter box (not litter), food dishes (not food), and toys. But, always feel free to bring your own. And, never hesitate to ask questions!

About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I have the biggest soft spot for them, and I have two dogs of my own. I have had my own dog since I was about 19, but have had outdoor farm dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been around dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals for as long as I can remember. I am patient, detail orientated and I truly just love spending time with animals. Big or small, I love them all! I do work during the day, but I have the ability to pop out if/when I need to. I am free evenings and weekends. My schedule can be flexible if needed. I have a dog friendly home. To me this means there’s nothing but toys on the ground. Garbages are hidden and I am very aware of what is around my animals. I also have a dog park in front of my apartment!

About: I love dogs, the larger the better! I have watched dogs for more than 7 years now. I have looked after dogs from Miniature Poodles to Coonhounds. I have taken care of new born puppies all the way up to senior dogs that are blind. I have taken care of a chow that was super strong and most people couldn't walk her, but I could. I have even helped while my dog gave birth to her puppies. I currently own a Hungarian Vizsla and a Treeing Walker Coonhound they have a ton of energy and needs a lot of attention. I would love to help with your furbaby! I am currently working for Amazon. So I do work Monday-Thursday from 9:30am-8pm. I am delivering way out of town so I won’t be able to be to take out your pup for walks or potty breaks during that time. I will give your pet the attention they deserve and not ignore them. I love playing games with dogs and taking them on long walks.

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I pride myself on giving each animal the same love and attention they’d get from their family. I’m experienced with administering medications, following special diets, and providing calm, reassuring care for anxious pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What Sets Me Apart: I focus on building trust through consistency, patience, and clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My background in handling multiple pets at once and caring for animals with special needs means you can relax knowing your pets are in capable hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight care, or weekend stays, I make sure your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to training routines, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level.

Meganne and her family were so nice and took great care of Sport. She listened intently to learn about his medication and made sure she knew what he needed. They took fantastic care of him and he enjoyed hanging with her dogs and being in the country. I recommend Meganne and family to anyone looking for a caring, open-spaced settng for their dog.

About: I’m recently retired and have had dogs all my life, since being 7 years old. I had to put my last fur baby to sleep in January 2026 and will be traveling over the next few years so don’t want to get another right now, and really miss having a doggo around! I used Rover quite a bit when I had dogs so would love to pay it forward and help someone else. Plus then I hopefully will get my fix of dogs! I’m currently very flexible, having just retired. I usually walk first thing in the morning and then after dinner with our British lab, Lilly. Live in Madison Lake but willing to drive to Mankato or St. Peter, for pet sitting or dog walking. We have a great home for dogs, so am happy to do pet sitting in our home too. We have a small British lab but she is not in the house much; she is a sweet, lover dog that prefers to hang outside in her luxury kennel outside. We walk her twice daily, and she gets along with all dogs we meet.

Best. Rover. Sitters. EVER. We are so thankful we found Morgan and Jennifer for our sweet old snuggly beagle. They treated him like he was their own fur baby. Snuggles and treats and playtime. We got plenty of updates and videos. And when our family had a medical emergency during vacation, Jennifer and Morgan were more than willing to accommodate us however they could. Thank you!! We are so glad we have a place for Olaf to stay where he is happy!

About: Hi! My name is Sage and I specialize in animal caretaking and welfare. I have lived my entire life with at least one animal in the house and I have been dog sitting on and off since high school. I am certified in three years of dog training and currently live with my lovely cat, London. I’ve never met a pet that I haven’t loved, and past employers would describe me as dependable, easy-going, and kind. Now that I am starting school again, my hours of availability have become a bit slim. However, my weekends are entirely open, and I have enough time between classes to provide service to any animal who needs my attention. In my home, I live with my cat London, and four other housemates. If your animal stayed with me, they would never feel alone and would always have somebody in the house that can watch them or be there for all their needs. We have a lovely backyard full of grass, a back deck for lounging and sunbathing and a large neighborhood for daily walks. Your pet would feel like a king or queen in a castle! :)
