“Dee was the perfect caregiver for our pet. She treated our dog like family. She sent daily pictures and updates, they went on walks and enjoyed visits and attention from Dee's family members. Would definitely recommend and would book again.”
“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“First use of Rover, but Chelsie was a great introduction. She sent great pictures, enjoyed our dog and was very engaged in the pet having a good stay. Would recommend, we will be repeat customers.”
“Shelby went above and beyond for our baby Oakley while he stayed with her! I had never used Roger before so was naturally a little worried, but she made this experience really great for us! She made sure he got lots of dog park time and exercise and always sent us adorable pictures of his time with her. I would highly recommend Shelby to any dog parents out there looking for a loving, fun, and friendly place to leave their pup! I can tell Oakley had the time of his life!”
“I’m so sorry this is late. You are always so good with the pups and you give me comfort knowing they are so well loved at your house! Thank you for always loving them when we travel!”
“Our 2 pups stayed for 3 nights and had their own mini vacation. Great communication and they had no issues with managing meds or a pain in the rear pup with loads of energy. Would definitely recommend; Rocky and Toby will be back!”
“We feel very comfortable leaving Winnie with Peg and Greg. They consistently provide loving care for our dog while we are away. Great communication and specific needs are always addressed!”
“Our beloved Australian shepherd was well-cared for by Steve and Diane. I am certain we missed him more than he missed us. Their care has made us much more comfortable with the idea of traveling more often to the places he cannot come.”
“I’m so grateful to have found Aish and her family! They take such great care of our dog, and it’s clear he’s happy and comfortable when he’s with them. It’s a huge relief for me to know he’s in such good hands while I travel. Thanks again ❤️❤️”
“Ann was amazing. She took care of our senior dog with some medical needs and aging and gave Louise exactly what she needed with such positive kindness. We got pictures and videos and felt like our sweet little old lady dog was truly in the best care during our trip. I will definitely use Ann again because she was incredible.”
“This was our 2nd time leaving our now 14.5 year old dog with Gretchen and John, and once again, they were great! Sent updates multiple times a day which was reassuring for this nervous dog mom and followed by overkill of directions perfectly : ) will definitely continue to use them!”
“Alecia and Todd are fantastic. We were a little nervous because we’ve had varying degrees of success leaving our pup with a sitter, but Alecia, Todd, and their family took great care of him. They went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable - he even made new dog friends at their house😁. Communication was a breeze and we received thoughtful updates throughout our time away. Hope to book with Alecia and Todd again!🩵🩵”
“Our old pup was well loved in Andrews care! We loved getting the updates and the peace of mind he gave us that she was in great care while we were away. We are lucky we found Andrew and will definitely reach out again.”
“Can't say enough great things about Denise & Michael. My pup has visited twice so far, and they treat him as if he was their very own! I'm allowed total peace of mind when I travel. My ONLY complaint is that they don't live closer. 😊”
“This was the first time I was away from Sealgair. And every time I checked in and every time we texted Brandi was right there. Any update or just a little picture to say hi, Brandi took care of my little baby. And if I ever go away again and have to leave him, I'm leaving him with no other. Thank you Brandi.”
“Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.”
“Buddy LOVED being at Becky's house! He loved being with the other dogs. I could tell he was a happy tired when he got home. :-) Becky and her family definitely welcome your pet into their home as one of their own. -Kim”

“Patricia did a wonderful job with our senior kitty!! We received updates every visit and she even brought our kitty treats to get him to take his meds. Would hire her again for all future visits!”
“Vika was great at keeping us updated and took wonderful care of our cats. She was patient with our full grown kitten and his behaviors and waited patiently to see our more shy baby come out to eat. She was wonderful and went beyond anything we asked.”
“Immediately upon meeting Camila, we could see her love for animals, and knew our cat would be in great hands. Camila sent us many beautiful photos of Bella throughout the weekend, which we thoroughly enjoyed and looked forward to receiving each day. We could see in the pictures that Bella was having a lot of fun being cuddled and played with. We would definitely recommend Camila to other pet owners and will reach out to her again when we need someone to watch our cat! Thanks, Camila!”
“Ed was diligent, punctual, and reliable. He was extremely patient with our senior cat, whose care can be challenging, and used creative problem solving to manage her quirks. His communications were detailed, entertaining, and filled with humor. He clearly enjoyed providing care to our two cats and we would have him back in a heartbeat.”
“Ann is such a sweet cat sitter. She took really fun photos of my Siamese Flame Point kitten during each visit. She spent lots of time playing and providing enrichment for “Lily”! I felt at ease while out of town on travel knowing “Lily” was in great hands. 🐾🐾❤️”
“Kaitlyn was awesome! Each day she checked on my kitties she sent me a paragraph of what she did and pictures of the clean litter box, full water and food dish and most importantly that my kitties were happy and well cared for. I will be using her again for a future trip.”
“Nelly really cares about animals, and she shows it! She made sure my boys were happy and engaged while I was away. She followed instructions throughly and asked questions that showed me she was passionate about getting the job done right.”
“Jordana took perfect care of our high energy dogs when I reached out due to work travel! They clearly enjoyed her presence and were so happy in all of the photos. We will be using her again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be happier. We have a pretty shy kitty, but just needed someone to check on her while we were on vacation. It’s so comforting knowing we have people we can trust!”
“Bella was so helpful for a last minute emergency after we had a day of cancellation!! Great communication and so helpful. Followed directions well and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Megan is amazing! She was responsive, reliable, and super personable. She took great care of my little yorkie pup! I never had any reservation booking services with her. She is a huge dog lover! Highly recommend her for your dog needs! :)”
About: I've lived with dogs my whole life and am a dog owner at my core! I so love caring for pets, providing for them and being their biggest advocate. When our pets are happy, we're happy :) I work from home in Prior Lake as a Graphic Designer and have a lot of flexibility with my job. I'm dog mom to our Great Pyrenees and I know a lot about senior care, medication administration, general communication and body language knowledge, walking and leash training. We're open to boarding well-socialized pups in our home, but they must be respectful of our older resident dog. They can enjoy the large, shaded back yard together on secure leads as we have an unfenced yard. We also have chickens (who are securely fenced in their own area!) I'm available mornings, evenings, overnights and weekends! I work from home full time in Prior Lake and have day time flexibility. I'd love to bring your dog along with me for walks! I care for your pets just as I would my own! I'm attentive, intuitive and thoughtful when it comes to taking care of your animals and home. I'm very respectful and trustworthy of others spaces. I will leave everything exactly as I find it.
“Olivia did a wonderful job with our 2 cats while we were gone for a week. She was on time and always spent time with the cats as well as sending a quick note and pics of them. We will use her again if needed.”

“Carrie and Mark are amazing with our little guy Ollie! He plays with the kitty Bennie, and gets lots of walks and play time in! He loves it so much there he runs right to the door without a second glance at me!”
“I am new to the area, and Chelsie was very close by. She responded promptly and communicated clearly. I brought Riley over, and Chelsie kindly met me at the car. I was having some difficulty with the long lead, and Riley immediately went up to her as if they had known each other for a long time. When Riley heard the dogs barking inside the house, she led Chelsie to the door, which was quite charming. I realized I forgot to mention something to Chelsie, but she responded right away. On my way back to pick up Riley, I got caught in traffic, so Chelsie graciously brought Riley out to me, and Riley happily got into the car without any issues. After we returned home, I noticed that Riley's card was filled out, and there was a detailed note, along with photos of Riley's day, showing that she had gone for a walk and played with her dogs. Overall, I would rate the experience as excellent, and Riley will definitely be visiting again.”
“Jax's first stay with Leanna went great! She took lots of pictures of his stay and even sent us home with a gift - she made us an absolutely adorable ornament with Jax's paw print! I would definitely choose her again to care for our baby!”
“Jen was fantastic! My 4 month old pitbull terrier had so much fun playing with her dogs and going on the trampoline! She is very patient and understanding of “puppy behavior”. Jen sent videos and photos throughout the day so I knew my guy was having fun, which was awesome. I will definitely be using her again. So nice to have peace of mind when I have to leave my dog that he is in such great hands.”
“I adopted my first dog and reached out to Shayla soon after. She responded quickly and I felt very comfortable bringing Gabi to her. Gabi had fun and they took great care of her. They also responded to my constant messages throughout the day checking in on her. I continue to use her for doggy daycare.”
“My fearful dog has become comfortable very quickly with Emily. She doesn’t usually like strangers but Emily understands and doesn’t try to push her. I’m glad we found a good match for day care.”
“Perfect sitter who truly understands and follows specific care instructions. Rachel did exactly what we asked, and as a result, everyone—the dog, the sitter, and us as owners—was happy. I highly recommend her to anyone who may be unsure whether their dog can be properly cared for.”
“Ann has been an absolute dream dog sitter. I know my dog is in excellent hands and I bring him every week. I recommend Ann to anyone, even those like me that is extraordinarily particular about who watches my dog.”
About: I've taken care of and been around cats and dogs since I was young. We lost our Bulldog 2 years ago and have yet to fall in love with another rescue pup yet. We are always happy to walk, feed, and take carenof friends and families pets whenever they need! I am currently home with my kids during the summer with all of the time to love on your pets! I take daily walks and would love to take your dog with me! We have a yard, but no fence, and a large park just down the road to get all the doggie energy out! I have 3 kids that all love animals and cannot wait to help with all the things!
“Steven & Diane continue to get to know my dog Alice in a personal way. They pay attention to her needs and our excellent communicators with me. Alice will be staying with them for 10 days and I am certain she will have an excellent time!”
“This was Murphie’s first visit and it was a great one! She was obviously very happy hanging out with Lonnie and Steve based on her happy behaviors they shared she did today :-) We will definitely be back when it works out!!”
“We were up for a few days and our old boy, Bowie had recently had some medical issues that we needed him to have a little extra love while we were off doing things and we would bring him back daily when done running. We didn't expect this to be a relaxing spa vacation for him! He was showered with love and pampered more that he is at home! I think he thinks I'm a bad dog dad now! Tawny took him for multiple walks every day, brushed him, gave him treats, and just loved him. He even got in the puppy pool which he doesn't do at home! I absolutely could not have asked for a better person to care for our baby. I highly recommend Tawny and next time we're up here if we need someone to watch one of our animals, we know EXACTLY who we're calling! Thank you Tawny for being such a loving person for our Bow-Bear! You're the BEST!!!”
“Moxxie loved his doggie day care visit. Annabelle was very kind and easy to work with. We got pictures and videos of Moxxie while we were away. Great place to take your loved ones when on the road away and wanting to stop by the Valley Fair for day. So convenient knowing my pet was cared for.”
“Kerstie, Brian and Aurora treated Oreo so well during his visit that I wasn't sure he would come home with me! I got updates on how he was doing that included photos and showed me he was feeling at ease and having a good time. I know he will be excited to visit again when he needs a break from his new little brother. Thanks for treating him like your own.”

“Jordana was ✨Amazing✨ the first day Odin was a little nervous but he quickly warmed up to her and enjoyed every walk and play time with her after that! Wonderful communication and always provided us with great pictures after every session!”
“This is our 2nd time using Ann. She has excellent communication. The animals adore her. Ann is fabulous with Paisley. It is cute to see Paisley get so excited to see her friend Ann. I highly recommend Ann's services!!! We used her for drop in visits. Ann explained the different types of services she has available clearly so expectations were clear. We've already booked time again with her. Thank you so much for caring about our babies.”
“Wow! Ed has been just amazing. I came back from knee surgery and just wasn’t able to walk my dog . Ed has been so kind. Consistently prompt and incredibly dependable, Ed always was flexible when I needed a schedule flex. He offered really helpful insights for my dog’s aging (he’s almost 17), was always on time and so thoughtful. Ed even brought me a cookie and hauled my empty and full garbage cans to the curb and back! My dog really loved him and I appreciated the updates. I’ve so enjoyed having Ed’s assistance with walking and would highly recommend him for any help you may need with your pets.”
About: Family of 4 animal lovers! We’ve had pets our entire lives and for the past year have been helping with dog fostering. Our two daughters love to help so your pet will receive plenty of attention, love, and playtime in our fully fenced backyard! I work from home so your pet will rarely be alone and will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. Pets are family here and are welcome to any furniture during their stay. We’d love to care for yours like one of our own! Our backyard is quite spacious and fully fenced in. If you’d like, we can definitely take your dog for a walk as our neighborhood is in a quiet suburb of Prior Lake without through traffic (our kids bike around with no fear). We also have two friendly cats who mostly keep to themselves (or cuddle with each other!) and will happily give your dog space.
About: I have taken care of dogs the last 5 years from walking dogs to staying overnight in others houses! Having dogs come here to sit makes me so happy and excited:) I have a 5 year old lab-husky mix who loved walks:) I have loved animals forever and know how to handle difficult situations! I’m currently working part-time as a restaurant server/bartender and my hours are no longer than 7 hours a shift on a long night. Other than that I currently have no commitments and have plenty of time to care for some puppers!! Lokkee is great with other dogs! We have a large yard, however, not fenced in. I have a spacious home with plenty of room for some doggy friends!
About: I work from home full time and have the capability and desire to have a cuddly fur baby around, snuggles, walks and lots of love a must. I like watching 1 dog at a time but if they are from the same family, please feel free to reach out if there are 2. I am able to be flexible. Since I work from home full time I am available to watch your fur baby during the day, night, boarding and on weekends if needed I would take them on walks when I could during the day, snuggles, some play time and rest when needed. Plenty of food and water, no fenced in back yard.
About: I am certified in first aid and cpr for cats and dogs! Caring for pets has been such a joy for me and I will always go the extra mile for them. I've gained valuable experience in ensuring the happiness and health of household animals like cats and dogs, as well as farm animals like chickens and goats, enjoying every moment spent with these furry and feathered friends. I do my best to be flexible around my busy schedule to help others and their pets! I prioritize each pet's needs throughout the day. Caring for someone's pet in their home involves maintaining their routines and providing plenty of attention and affection. When pets stay in my home, I ensure they feel comfortable and loved while sticking to their familiar routines and introducing them to enriching activities. In both settings, my goal is to create a stress-free and enjoyable experience for the pets under my care.
About: I have had a passion for caring for animals since I was 12, when I started volunteering at my local nature center to care for the reptile habitats. Since that first job, I spent much of high school and college pet sitting and owning a variety of animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, fish, and birds. I have experience caring for old and young animals, a variety of breeds, and administering medications. Whatever your needs may be, you deserve to have peace of mine while away from home. My pet sitting style is “there is no such thing as too much information!”. Before any visit, I will come meet you and your pet to help your pet recognize me, give us the opportunity to get to know each other, and discuss any details pertinent to your request. Throughout the visit, you can anticipate a plethora of pictures and videos of your pet, detailed updates on how your pet is doing, how their appetite is, how their bathroom habits are, and anything cute they've done in the stay! Reach out to me for your pet sitting needs, and enjoy security that your pet is in kind, competent, and caring hands. My schedule is incredibly flexible. I have a full-time job where I work from home, which allows me to be available anywhere I can bring my laptop and connect to wifi! Whether your needs are for day time visits, evening visits, overnight stays, or a combination of days and times, I am incredibly flexible to be where you need me when you need me. I will always treat your pets as though they are my own. I am committed to giving your pet the same standard of care that you would give them yourself. If there is a special request you have for your pet then by all means, ask! I understand firsthand how important those special routines are to our pets. If your dog needs someone to lay on the floor next to them while they eat, then I will make sure I am not wearing white so I can get down there.

About: -My own friendly dog loves hosting and provides great company and socialization for your pup. -A fully secure, fenced-in yard means worry free playtime. -Whether your dog needs high-energy puppy supervision and routine reinforcement, or a gentle, patient hand for senior medication and slow walks, I adapt my home to their specific life stage. -You’ll get daily photo and text check-ins so you never have to wonder how they are doing. Because I work from home very limited hours, pet care is seamlessly woven into my entire day. Your dog will have constant companionship and supervision. My routine revolves around the pups: we start the morning with a potty break, then breakfast, and a fun play session in my fenced yard. Throughout the day, I will play fetch or let the dogs out for a sunbath. Evenings are reserved for neighborhood walks, dinner, and wind-down cuddles on the couch. Because I am always here, your dog will never have to wait long for a bathroom break, a fresh bowl of water, or a belly rub. Your dog will be treated like a member of the family during their stay. They will have full access to a comfortable, climate-controlled home and a large, fully secure, fenced-in backyard. Safety is my top priority, so I always do a thorough sweep of the fence line before any new guest arrives, and I never leave dogs unsupervised in the yard.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was able to drive. I have grown up around them and have pet sat for multiple family friends at least once a year. I have done some therapy dog training in middle school and have carried that with me when interacting with new pets. I am attending Normandale to complete my prerequisites in order to attend Pharmacy school at the University of Minnesota. Having a flexible schedule allows me to make sure I have time to get my work done. If your pet needs company, I am happy to sit and read a text book to them or play with them/take walks if I need a good break. As of fall 2026, I am only taking 2 classes which leaves plenty of time to come play with your fur baby! I believe smell and actions are important on first meetings. I am very gentle and will always let them smell me before I attempt to pet or play. Not all animals are trusting of people and I believe slow and steady does the trick. I lived with a Blind Shih Tzu for 2 years and at first she was always shaky and scared of everything. By the time her owner moved out, she wasn’t even afraid of storms anymore as I was able to work with her and give her confidence.
About: I have spent lots of time caring for dogs, both my own and those of friends and family.

I’m a full-time EMT and firefighter for the City of Minneapolis, which means I have unique availability and a passion for helping others—including pets! My 24-hour shift schedule allows me to be fully available on my days off, so I can offer flexible dog walking and sitting services to suit your needs. I’ve loved dogs and animals my entire life. I currently share my home in Shakopee with my wife, two daughters, and two small-breed dogs. I’m happy to care for your dog in your home, or if they’re child- and pet-friendly, they’re welcome to stay with us as part of the family! Experience & Trust • I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for pets, and I’m committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for them. • References and a background check are available upon request, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to the possibility of serving you and your furry family members. As a firefighter I’m dedicated to safety and reliability, which are qualities I bring to caring for pets. I’m available for pet care in my home or yours, wherever they feel most at ease. I understand that all pets have unique needs and I can tailor my care to what you are looking for. Whether that’s long walks, free roam of the house or sticking to specific routines. My yard is fenced in and dogs will always be supervised. I am committed to providing the same trusted care for your pets that I bring to my community every day.
About: I’ve grown up with 4 dogs in my lifetime all with different struggles and quirks! I’ve been walking my neighbors dogs and dog sitting since i was in middle school as a means of making allowance but also for my deep love for animals! I am an animal science major and am equipped through my education to recognize behavior, health, and overall well being in pets! I can feed, bathe, walk, run, take to the dog park, groom, basically anything you would need! I’m your go to girl for all pet inquiries :) I am a full time student but my classes and extracurriculars are pretty spread out throughout the week which leaves me a lot of time to care for the dogs during the day and night! i have a fenced in yard with no other pets currently. We have shaded areas outside as well as heated/air conditioned air inside! We also have a park right across the street for some more room!

“Leslie was the best. We found her last minute after our dog sitter cancelled. She treated our dog like one of their own. So flexible, sent me great pics throughout the week. My dog was so well cared for and so loved. Highly recommend!”
“First use of Rover, but Chelsie was a great introduction. She sent great pictures, enjoyed our dog and was very engaged in the pet having a good stay. Would recommend, we will be repeat customers.”
“Shelby went above and beyond for our baby Oakley while he stayed with her! I had never used Roger before so was naturally a little worried, but she made this experience really great for us! She made sure he got lots of dog park time and exercise and always sent us adorable pictures of his time with her. I would highly recommend Shelby to any dog parents out there looking for a loving, fun, and friendly place to leave their pup! I can tell Oakley had the time of his life!”
“Our 2 pups stayed for 3 nights and had their own mini vacation. Great communication and they had no issues with managing meds or a pain in the rear pup with loads of energy. Would definitely recommend; Rocky and Toby will be back!”
“We feel very comfortable leaving Winnie with Peg and Greg. They consistently provide loving care for our dog while we are away. Great communication and specific needs are always addressed!”
“Carine and Eric took excellent care of my older Boston terrier. They kept me up to date on his activities and provided photos while we were away. I felt comfortable knowing he was in caring and capable hands. Will gladly book with them again for future care!”
“Our beloved Australian shepherd was well-cared for by Steve and Diane. I am certain we missed him more than he missed us. Their care has made us much more comfortable with the idea of traveling more often to the places he cannot come.”
“Ann was amazing. She took care of our senior dog with some medical needs and aging and gave Louise exactly what she needed with such positive kindness. We got pictures and videos and felt like our sweet little old lady dog was truly in the best care during our trip. I will definitely use Ann again because she was incredible.”
“This was our 2nd time leaving our now 14.5 year old dog with Gretchen and John, and once again, they were great! Sent updates multiple times a day which was reassuring for this nervous dog mom and followed by overkill of directions perfectly : ) will definitely continue to use them!”
“Julie, Ben and family took the best care of our girl Maggie—walks, meds, plenty of outside time. I was able to focus on my work conference without worry. I loved the many photos and updates!”
“Our old pup was well loved in Andrews care! We loved getting the updates and the peace of mind he gave us that she was in great care while we were away. We are lucky we found Andrew and will definitely reach out again.”
“This was the first time I was away from Sealgair. And every time I checked in and every time we texted Brandi was right there. Any update or just a little picture to say hi, Brandi took care of my little baby. And if I ever go away again and have to leave him, I'm leaving him with no other. Thank you Brandi.”
“Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.”
“Brittany took great care of our dog while we were on a two week vacation! She was a responsive communicator and followed instructions to care for our dog. She also sent pictures and updates. We will definitely use Brittany again!”
“Larry and Laura were absolutely wonderful with our two energetic Labs! They were incredibly accommodating and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Their communication was fantastic—they sent plenty of pictures, kept us updated, and took the time to talk through how each of our pups was doing. It was clear that our dogs were well cared for and in great hands. We would absolutely trust Larry and Laura with them again and highly recommend them!”
