“We had a great experience boarding with Susie! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. In fact, after seeing the photos and getting reports, we were worried our dog may not want to come home with us! Thank you!”
“It may sound cliche, but in this case it also true that Robert truly enjoys being with and caring for your dog. He’s responsive, conscientious, and sent a few great photos of our dog relaxing on her bed - she appeared to immediately feel safe and cared for. Thank you!”
“Erin is an incredible pet sitter! Buddy can be needy and anxious yet each time he stays with her he quickly becomes comfortable. She went above and beyond when she had Buddy post-surgery and he wasn’t feeling well. She sends multiple updates and pictures to keep us informed and ease our mind about how Buddy is doing. Would highly recommend Erin!”
“Dezi loves Colleen and Joe and Nico. He ran to Colleen when we arrived to drop him off and was immediately right at home. They send us pictures and updates and take the best care of him.”
“Hey everyone, just wanted to share a bit about our dog Leo’s recent stay. We left him with these sitters, and man, they were fantastic. Right from the start, they kept us in the loop with regular updates - which was super reassuring. Leo’s days were packed. He went on walks three times a day, got to sniff around, and met some of the neighbors. Seems like everyone fell in love with him. They even told us about how excited he got every time Mike walked into a room - always ready to play. Thanksgiving with them sounded like a blast. Leo was running around in their backyard, chasing critters, and was the life of the party. They shared stories about him playing tug and fetch with the kids, and how he’d crash on the couch after a fun day. They even sent us pics of all these moments, which was awesome. We loved hearing about the little things too, like how Leo enjoyed his morning walks in the chilly November weather, or how he’d spend lazy afternoons napping with Mike. It wasn’t just about keeping Leo safe; they really made him part of their family. On the last day, they went out for a special walk before we picked him up. They sent about 20 pictures and a couple of videos during his stay, which were super fun to watch. To sum it up, these sitters are the real deal. They took care of Leo like he was their own, gave him an amazing time, and kept us connected with all those updates and photos. We’d absolutely recommend them to anyone, and Leo’s definitely staying with them again.”
“Kyle did a great job caring for our pup while we were out of town and was extremely prompt with all of our correspondence; including in our request to watch our pup, which really put us at ease! I definitely recommend him! :)”
“Dave was a fantastic sitter, so much so that I decided to keep him as my permanent one after using Rover for 2 years! My cat is very needy and he spent so much time with her, along with getting his whole family involved in her care and consistent updates. Could not rate him more highly!”
“Betsy is wonderful! My pup snuggled up to her right away. She sent pics and updates each day. She worked with me on pick and drop off times and everything went smoothly. Back at home Echo seems perfectly content, which is a sign for me that she was well cared for. Betsy will be my number one choice for future pup sitting needs.”
“Dave is the best! Our Sam just loved him. He was extremely well cared for and honestly the peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands just can’t be beat. It’s hard to leave your dog when you need to be out of town and I can assure anyone reading this review that your dog will be very well loved if Dave is taking care of them.”
“Lan was an excellent caretaker for Hazel. She sent photos upon request. Hazel loved playing with Lucy. We will definitely use her again when we're traveling.”
“Elsa and Nick are so kind and caring. I felt very confident that Jasper was being well-cared for and doted on while he was with them. I had a flight hiccup and Elsa spent a lot of time communicating with me to figure out a good solution. She's so patient and kind. I highly recommend!”
“Catherine was excellent with our dog Misiu! She was incredibly attentive, and sent lots of photos and videos throughout our vacation. She allowed him to snuggle with her in bed, which he’s used to. That was very much appreciated. We will definitely rebook with Catherine. Misiu was a happy boy the entire time, we weren’t missed 😆”
“Our dog Magoo is a regular at Timothy's and Magoo has such a great time. We always get photos and videos of our dog while we are away and Timothy is always so reliable and seamless to work with. Definitely recommend!!”
“Matilda had a wonderful time staying with Sarah. Sarah asked great questions upfront to understand Matilda’s needs and communicated with us throughout the stay. Matilda came home happy! Thank you!!”
“Liam exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter! He went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable in a new place and catered to him when he was resisting food. It was only our second time using Rover, but we never worried once because of Liam’s regular communication and pictures. We can tell our dog had a great weekend and felt very comfortable!! I’d highly recommend Liam.”
“Jailene was fantastic with my dog Riley. She sent regular update, photos, and videos. He stayed over the 4th of July holiday, and Jailene had great questions beforehand to make sure he was comfortable.”
“Amy is fabulous to work with and has a pulse on her mix of dogs she watches. She gets back to you promptly and will be as flexible as possible. I have a busy 16 month old and he had the most wonderful time with her. I am so relieved I found an outstanding dogsitter”
“My furry daughter loved her :-), and we like Kira's stay too! She is quick to respond to your messages, and she sends a lot of updates with pics about my dog. Will definitely consider her for our future needs. Thanks Kira!!!”
“This was Maddie's second time visiting Eric and Martha and she had just as great a time! It's so nice to not have to worry about her wellbeing while we're away - Eric and Martha take such good care of her and are very doting and attentive to her in our absence. She's treated like a queen and we're so grateful!”
“We know our doggy was in great hands. We got lots of updates from Dustin. She went on good walks, played in the yard, and got lots of relaxing in on his couch when she wasn’t patrolling the sidewalk from the window ;-) Everything from first meeting to final pickup was smooth.”

“Glad we hired Lucia, it gave us peace of mind that someone was checking in on our kitties. Even our scaredy-cat who rarely comes out of hiding for strangers hung out with her! We will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Our first time pet sitting experience could not have gone better. Christy was extremely professional, a proactive and efficient communicator, and most importantly took fantastic care of our kitty. When we came back it was like we’d never left!”
“My boy and girl kitties love Mexi! My girl is a bit shy but came right up to her. Loved the pictures she took too I could tell they were in good hands . They were not too mad at me when I came back, which means they did not feel abandoned.”
“Amanda was stellar! She spent quality time with our kitty Dezee. She worked hard to communicate with us so we knew he was eating, etc.; her photos of him playing and loving her petting were terrific. We’ll definitely request Amanda again as it appeared Dezee really enjoyed her.”
“So many pictures and a very happy kitty :) Ciboney even took the time to wash our sheets before we came back home since we booked house sitting. Will definitely book again!”
“Teresa took absolutely amazing care of my two kittens while I was away! She was incredibly attentive to both of their very different personalities. Her updates and photos were thoughtful and reassuring. I came home to two happy, relaxed, well-cared-for babies. She went above and beyond. Teresa is truly wonderful, and I am already planning to book her again!”
“Sarah did a really good job while we were gone. It was hard to leave our cat Luna alone in the house for 10 days but I knew I could trust Sarah. She took care of him really well and by the time we were back Luna was safe and happy. Sarah shared daily pictures with me, let me know when she arrived and when she left and told me how Luna was doing. By the pictures and my security cameras I was able to tell that Luna quickly adapted to Sarah and that gave me piece of mind. They both loved spending time with each other. For sure I will trust Sarah again to take care of Luna next time I need to leave town. Thanks Sarah for being so good with Luna.”

“Sydney took great care of my three cats while I was away, and I was so appreciative of all the detailed updates and photos each visit. She even gave updates on what kind of food my cats seemed more interested in that day (note to self: they are out of their beef pate phase!). I highly recommend Sydney for cat sitting and will book again! She went above and beyond to make sure all of their needs were met, including playing with them and making sure they were comfortable while I was gone. My babies were happy and healthy when I returned. It was such a relief knowing my cats were in safe hands, and I truly appreciated Sydney!”
About: I was introduced to my first kitty at 5 months old, she became my second sister and we grew up together. I have loved all cats since that first interaction, and simply the presence of a happy cat brings me joy. My second kitty had cancer and needed a caretaker post-surgery, so I have experience in cones, medication, and post-op care. In addition, I have taken care of pregnant mamas and her kittens after birth, as well as multiple senior cats. Overall, whether a cat is high or low energy and/or high or low maintenance, I am just happy to be around!
“Thank you so much Ned for your service in taking care of LucyLulu and London on Election day so I could be an Election Judge for 15 hours and not have to worry about the dogs with you coming three times. I appreciate your report stating they were both good. Take care and thanks again. Tip processed.”
“Shawntil was great. She followed my cat's care instructions, she was quick to respond, wrote updates, and posted very cute pictures daily. I'd trust Shawntil to care for my cat again. I would recommend her if you're looking for drop-in cat visits.”

About: Our family said goodbye to our 16 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Lou, and we are ready to open our home to our neighbor's pups for love and attention while you're away! Britt grew up with lots of dogs (and cats), and the whole family has experience caring for animals at all ages. Both Britt and Mike work from home full time, and are able to care for pets throughout the day and night. Our three children are in school and preschool in the neighborhood during the week, giving us several opportunities to go on daily walks. We have a large, fenced in backyard for dogs and our children to share. We do not require dogs to be crated at night or when we are away for short amounts of time. We do have a medium crate if their normal routine includes crating during short times alone at home. Our children are used to being around animals and know how to be gentle and respectful of space.
“As always, my dog had an amazing time with Kara and Adam! They are so sweet and she always is exhausted when she gets back to me. Her kids are so kind to Jovi and I always look forward to seeing all the pictures Kara and Adam take! Thanks again!”
“My doggy had an excellent time here. He came home exhausted and happy. I got a wonderful picture during my few hours away and a great review when I picked him up. Will definitely be using Nathan again. Thank you so much!”
“Pamela was great! She welcomed a meeting before dog sitting, and asked care questions. Arlington played well with my dog, and they have a great fenced in backyard for running around!”
“Fernanda took great care of our dog. He was a little anxious because he had been traveling for several weeks and in lots of new places. She noticed his anxiety, and took him out in her yard to play. Perfect. He even ate a meal with her without needing special feeding (which he’d been struggling to do in new surroundings). Fernanda was easy to work with and a great communicator. I’d definitely use Fernanda again next time we’re in town.”
“Lindsey and her family were so great! They took care of my 5 month old puppy for the day and treated her so well. Gave her lots of play time and walks and sent many updates with pictures. 10/10 would recommend them to take care of your pup!”
About: About Me & My Family Hi there! We are a lifelong dog-loving family excited to welcome your furry companion into our home. Dogs have been a central part of our lives for as long as we can remember, and we know how important it is to find a safe, loving, and attentive environment for your pup while you're away. When your dog stays with us, they aren't just guest pets—they become part of the family! Why Your Dog Will Love It Here: -Constant Care & Supervision: Both adults in our home work from home full-time. That means your pup will almost never be left alone! They’ll get frequent potty breaks, steady companionship, and plenty of mid-day love. -Spacious & Secure Yard: We have a large, fully fenced-in yard perfect for zoomies, games of fetch, or lounging in the sun safely. -A Built-In Playmate: Our 2.5-year-old, 45 lb mutt mix is super friendly, energetic, and always eager to make new canine friends. If your dog loves to play, they’ll have a fantastic partner in crime! -Kid-Friendly & Loving Atmosphere: Our two kids (ages 8 and 11) have grown up around animals, know how to respect a dog's space, and love giving extra pets and gentle attention. Our Daily Routine & Environment: Because we work from home, our daily schedule is very flexible. A typical day includes: -Morning: Morning stretch and breakfast, followed by supervised yard playtime. -Mid-Day: Periodic breaks out in the yard, desk-side snuggles, and interactive play sessions. -Evening: Family relaxing time indoors, treats, and lots of cozy couch or dog-bed lounging. Important Notes for Guest Dogs: To make sure everyone has a safe and happy stay, we ask that guest dogs meet a few basic requirements: -Cat & Dog Compatibility: We have two resident cats and one playful dog. Guests should be comfortable around cats (or happy to ignore them) and enjoy playing or peacefully coexisting with other dogs. -House-Trained & Vaccinated: Up-to-date vaccinations and basic house-training are required to keep all our pets healthy and safe. We’d love to host a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a perfect match for everyone. We look forward to meeting you and your pup! Our Daily Routine & Environment: Because we work from home, our daily schedule is very flexible. A typical day includes: -Morning: Morning stretch and breakfast, followed by supervised yard playtime. -Mid-Day: Periodic breaks out in the yard, desk-side snuggles, and interactive play sessions. -Evening: Family relaxing time indoors, treats, and lots of cozy couch or dog-bed lounging.

Cat & Dog Compatibility: We have two resident cats and one playful dog with a large fenced in yard. Guests should be comfortable around cats (or happy to ignore them) and enjoy playing or peacefully coexisting with other dogs. Our dog is crate trained and sleeps there each night. Happy to crate as well. We have a separate guest space for dogs who want a bit more space to relax in an unfamiliar place.
“Kira was a great communicator and sent photos throughout the day. I liked knowing that Bandit had some dog friends but also got more person attention than at a big daycare. He came home tired!”
“Dave was great to work with and did an amazing job hanging out and playing with Penny for the day! When we picked up Penny, we could tell that Dave truly enjoyed watching her, which was a great feeling. I recommend Dave to anyone and will definitely be a repeat customer!!”
About: I keep my home boarding low-key and personalized by welcoming only one dog, or two from the same family, at a time. So your pup will enjoy plenty of one-on-one love, play, and attention in a calm, peaceful environment where they can truly relax and feel at home. I work from home most days in a dog-friendly condo in Columbia Heights, with 1–2 days a week in the office. On home days I'm available all day for frequent potty breaks, companionship, and check-ins. On office days, your pup will still get a solid morning and evening routine, and plenty of company once I'm back. There's no private yard, but there's a nice shared yard with plenty of green just downstairs for outdoor time, and we can easily do neighborhood walks. As a former puggle owner, I took care of my little Snuggles all the way through her senior years until she was 13+, so I have experience caring for dogs at every life stage, including daily care and routine, bathing, training, administering medicine when needed, and handling their specific needs as they get older. I recently had to put my own puggle down, and while I still miss her, I've been enjoying puppy kisses from the dogs I watch, and I love sharing that same attentive care with other pups who need a cozy and reliable place to stay. My setup includes comfortable dog beds, a kennel for secure rest if needed, doggy bowls for fresh water and meals, and soft blankets for cozy napping. If your dog needs someone who’s home a lot and would do walks on a nice day, let’s do a meet & greet! One or two days a week, I have to be at the office; I'll coordinate ahead of time, give updates, and make sure your dog is settled before I go. On Saturdays, I'm less flexible for check-in and check-out, since I'm away in the morning for volunteer work. I usually let dogs roam free in the condo. They can follow me everywhere if they want, which most enjoy for that constant company. I can crate your dog if needed (for naps, meals, or if they’re more comfortable that way).
“Abby was great with my pup, Belle! She made sure Belle got 2 long walks during the day and sent lots of pictures. She communicated quickly to all my questions and texts. Looking forward to booking her again! Thanks Abby!!”
“Higgins had a great day with Noelle! Higgins is a bit shy initially, but she was kind and gentle with him. He quickly warmed up to her. We will look forward to seeing her again. Noelle is a great dog sitter!”
About: Introduction Hi! My name is Lori and I LOVE ALL ANIMALS! I am recently retired and I always said that when I had time, I'd spend my days helping animals, however possible. I am so excited to finally be in a place where I can make that happen! If you would help me get my new focus started, I'll offer you a $20 discount and I will treat your pet like family! I’m an experienced pet caregiver with over 40 years of hands-on time caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, and a genuine passion for ensuring pets feel happy and at home while their families are away. I have a special spot in my heart for senior dogs and cats but I also love puppies and kittens, and everything in between! I've cared for my own dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, and birds for over 40 years, so I understand the daily routines, quirks, and needs of all kinds of companions. I'm especially attuned to dogs and cats—I read their body language exceptionally well and know what they're "saying. "For example, a slow blink from a cat is their way of saying "I love you," while a soft "mee mee" often means "come here." With dogs, I always approach respectfully: letting them sniff my open palm first (never reaching over their head, as it can feel dominant), then gently petting the shoulder and down the side. Energy matters so much—staying calm, happy, and positive helps even anxious pets relax quickly. I have a whole "warehouse" of these insights from years of close observation, and I love using them to build trust and joy. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely excited to care for your pets as if they were my own. I'll play with them, give plenty of love and cuddles, follow your instructions to a T, and make sure they feel at home. Being away from your furry family is tough—I get it, and I'll do my best to keep things feeling normal and happy for them (and send you lots of updates and pictures so you can see for yourself!). I can provide most of the same loving care as other sitters—feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, toy fun, and house check-ins—but due to some mobility limits, I focus on shorter, gentle walks (up to about 15 minutes) or indoor/outdoor potty time and enrichment instead of longer neighborhood strolls. This works wonderfully for calmer dogs, seniors, smaller breeds, or cats who prefer cozy companionship. I'm happy to adapt to your pet's energy level and needs! I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! What I'll need from you Age, personality/behavior, feeding routine and amounts, typical daily schedule, house rules, any favorite toys/treats, if they can have people food, medical needs, and anything else that helps me care for them just the way you do. No strong breed preferences—I'm happy with all! Let's Get Started! Availability I'm generally flexible and can arrange visits to fit your pet's schedule—morning, midday, evening, and bedtime routines. I can do drop-in visits, overnight sitting (if selected), or daily check-ins to ensure they're fed, pottied, loved, and happy throughout the day. A typical day We'll start with feeding, fresh water, and a gentle potty break or short walk if your pet enjoys it. Then lots of playtime with toys, gentle petting and interaction based on their cues, maybe some training games or just relaxing together. I'll refill water as needed, clean up any messes, and give plenty of love and attention. Everything will be done with your preferences in mind, plus updates and photos for you!
“We booked day boarding with Lydia to accommodate holiday visits with family in the Twin Cities at Christmas. Illness changed our plans but we did use Lydia for fewer days and found her responsive, happy to work with our sweet, shy beagle, and her house and yard were perfect.”
“We used Meagen for day care and our dog seemed very happy and not stressed when we picked her uo, Meagen sent plenty of pics so we could tell our dog was being well cared for,”
“Teresa was wonderful with communication and sent me many photos and videos during Luchi's stay. Luchi played with her dog Atlas and had a fantastic day! He was tuckered out when I picked him up at night. I will definitely book with Teresa again!”

“i’ve been using emerson consistently multiple times a week for almost a year now- he is flexible, communicative and extremely reliable. he does a great job with my large doodle and even was able to manage my two large dogs when i had them both. will continue using emerson and highly recommend!”
About: I’m a college student who had the pleasure to work with the PAWS program at the University Of Minnesota which helps people meet animals safely. It helped me educate more people about how pets support mental health and wellbeing. My favorite thing in the world is hosting those angels in my residence. I’m currently taking classes mostly Monday and Wednesday morning but when i’m not in school i’m usually at home with the pups. I take a long walk every morning so i usually like to have a buddy to accompany me! I prefer to adjust to the owner’s style rather than doing my own way. I’ve learned that some pups can get overwhelmed with sudden changes to their environment and routine.
“Angelica is awesome! She was very communicative and was very caring and thoughtful in how she interacted with my dog. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a walker or sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and absolutely love caring for them! I currently have a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable with puppies, potty training, walks, playtime, feeding routines, crates, and all of the energy that comes with younger dogs. I also have experience with adult dogs of different sizes and personalities. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. I work Thursday-Sunday afternoons or evenings as a server. Here is a rough overview of my class schedule: Mondays: done by 10:30 Tuesdays: done by 12:00 and class again from 4-5:15 Wednesday: done by 10:30, class again from 6-9pm Thursday: class from 10-12:45 Friday: done by 10:30 Right now I live in an apartment, so id be able to stay at your house. I’m very used to staying overnight at other people houses
About: I have had cats and dogs in my household my entire life, I take care of them at home and also for many neighbors, and they continue to request my services. I love Animals I take car of the pets in our house and enjoy hanging out with them on a daily basis. I watch pets in our neighborhood almost every week as our neighbors have come to enjoy and rely on my pet care services I have watched pets in my home but have additionally visited neighbors and stayed at their home to watch pets overnight. I am comfortable caring for pets in any of these enviroments.
About: My husband and our family have been watching dogs on Rover since before it was even called Rover. We've lived overseas a few times so if you see gaps in our reviews, that is why. We are very active with our doggie guests and would love to host your dog. We typically go on walks once a day and on weekends typically try to be outside more (as the winter weather permits). We're open to requests to take your pup to dog parks, bike rides, or walks depending on your pup's preferences. Note: you will typically see delayed responses past 9PM but will get back to you as soon as I see your messages. Thanks! Both my husband and I work full time M-F but I work from home and would be able to take bathroom breaks or walks mid-day. If you needed someone to stop by and let your dog out, it would have to be within the Columbia Heights, Fridley, Shoreview area. We have a fenced in yard in the back that we take out the dogs to hang, throw a ball, or relax. Inside the house we leave it open range as long as your pup can handle no accidents, no chewing the kids' stuffies (it's hard I know!), etc. When we are gone, we do like to crate our visitors so they don't get into mischief while we are gone.
About: I’ve petsit for neighbors and family since I can remember and we always had pets at home. I have taken care of puppy litters, German shepherds and even birds! I am in between jobs currently so I have a flexible and open schedule to be available for your fur babies when you can’t be. It’s so fun getting to know different personalities of our pets. I’m very patient and even shy dogs warm up to me quickly. I love showing love with cuddles and taking dogs on adventures.
About: Hello fellow pet lovers! My sweet girl Sophie passed away this year after 14 loving years together. While I’m not quite ready for a new pup of my own a certainly miss caring for dogs. Maybe I can help you out there! I am a pet parent to all critters under the sun! I have extensive experience with dogs from young pup to seniors with medical needs including all sorts of breeds, large and small. I’m very active and happy to take your high energy pup for long walks (or even runs!) or just cuddle up with your couch potato. I also have extensive personal experience with cats. I have two kittens and have cat sat for friends and neighbors since I was in middle school. No matter how velcro-y or aloof your babies are Id love to keep them happy and healthy. Beyond dogs and cats I have owned (or cared for extensively) birds (cockatiels), reptiles and amphibians (bearded dragons & painted turtles), pocket pets (hamsters, guinea pigs & rabbits), freshwater fish, and horses! My wide expanse of knowledge means even if I haven’t cared for your exact critter yet I’m confident I’ll be able to pick up any new information easily and will make sure they are well cared for. No critter will scare me away! PLEASE NOTE: At this time I am not looking for any new regularly repeating weekly drop ins/walks, so if you’re looking for a new daily walker I’m probably not your best choice, however if you need the odd occasional visit, a sitter while you’re out of town, a sub for the week, or something similar I’d be happy to help! I work from home which grants me a lot of flexibility during the morning and day for walks or drop ins. My evenings can get a bit busy but with enough notice I can absolutely work in further care as well. I’ll be sure to adhere strictly to any instructions you give me. I also will be sure to send updates and pet pics every time I visit and you’re welcome to text me at any point for an update. I’m an extremely clean and tidy person and will leave your home better than I found it.
“Great First Experience with Rover I used Rover for the first time to find a last-minute dog walker, and it was a fantastic experience. My walker was super communicative, accommodating, and made the process stress-free. I got updates, photos, and a happy pup at the end. Highly recommend and will use again!”
About: We LOVE dogs and have a city sized house full of people that love giving them attention! We have 2 school age children but are home full time in the summer with a good sized fenced backyard and our own friendly pups, Oli and Lulu. We go back to our full-time jobs as educators on August 25, so our calendar reflects our school year availability (mostly weekends and some school breaks!) I (Kara) grew up always having a dog in the family, and as soon as I could, I acquired one of my own. I've learned that dogs need people, but people need dogs just as much. All this to say, we can't imagine a world without these furry little companions! With many attentive people in our household, your dog will never have needs unmet. Whether it be snuggles, toys, pets, walks, playtimes, food... be assured we can handle it! We can't wait to meet your dog! We both work in education, so our summers are very open & flexible and offer so many opportunities for dog walks, dog parks, pet cuddles, etc. Once the school year starts, our calendar reflects our weekend and school break availability! We have a fenced back yard and get on many outings with our own high energy dog. We do on long walks daily and often to the off leash dog park (if your dog is licensed in Minneapolis). We have a friendly cat that mostly keeps to herself around dogs, but she does not allow other cats in the home (so we are unable to board cats.)
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats as a service since 2016. Every animal is different so I enjoy speaking with the owners beforehand and getting to bond with critters that are different than mine. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes and love caring for cats. I have cared for Guinea Pigs, chickens, pigs, goats, sheep and cattle as well. Farm sitting outside of the Twin Cities area available on weekends only ( Fri.pm-Sun afternoon). Weekly stays available only in Minneapolis due to full-time employment. I’m available weekends for walks and animal care. I’m a full-time employee so weekday evening walks after 5pm work best for my schedule. Previously, I have stayed overnight to keep the in home animals company and keep the house safe while folks are away. I can clean and bring in the mail. Whatever your expectations are I am happy to accommodate.
About: Hello! I have been consistently house/dog sitting since 2023. I have experience in watching dogs from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I previously have watched three dogs at a time, so if you have more than one dog that is no problem. I also have experience in providing dogs with medications needed throughout the day. This includes insulin shots and capsules/pills mixed into their food. While you are away I prefer to keep the dog in its original home rather than hosting your dog. I do require a meet & greet before services. This is for my safety alongside for you and your puppies comfortability with my presence. Beyond all else it’s important to me that your dog stays comfortable. I have cared for anxious, storm scared, epileptic, loud barkers, and jumpy puppies. It’s important to me that you communicate your animals behavior or traits so I can care to the best of my ability. Without a doubt I will accommodate to your dogs feeding requirements and potty breaks. Alongside that give them lots of cuddles, kisses, playtime, and walks. As for you… I will communicate how your puppy is doing, when I arrive, if any complications arise, and send photos! Your dog is in safe hands. I currently work at a coffee shop a few times a week! My hours usually range from 4-5 hours. So it’s never long enough to leave your puppy for long periods of time. I will always honor your puppies scheduled eating times and potty breaks throughout the day! Pets are so so important! As a caregiver, I want to relieve your stress and allow you to know that your pets are in safe hands! If you would be so kind to welcome me into your home, I can take care of them there. I would prefer to keep your animals where they feel most comfortable. A fenced in backyard is preferred, but taking them out on a walk is no hassle! Provide me with all of the important details on your puppy, and I can provide service towards them! ❤️

“It may sound cliche, but in this case it also true that Robert truly enjoys being with and caring for your dog. He’s responsive, conscientious, and sent a few great photos of our dog relaxing on her bed - she appeared to immediately feel safe and cared for. Thank you!”
“Erin is an incredible pet sitter! Buddy can be needy and anxious yet each time he stays with her he quickly becomes comfortable. She went above and beyond when she had Buddy post-surgery and he wasn’t feeling well. She sends multiple updates and pictures to keep us informed and ease our mind about how Buddy is doing. Would highly recommend Erin!”
“Kyle did a great job caring for our pup while we were out of town and was extremely prompt with all of our correspondence; including in our request to watch our pup, which really put us at ease! I definitely recommend him! :)”
“Dave was a fantastic sitter, so much so that I decided to keep him as my permanent one after using Rover for 2 years! My cat is very needy and he spent so much time with her, along with getting his whole family involved in her care and consistent updates. Could not rate him more highly!”
“Dave is the best! Our Sam just loved him. He was extremely well cared for and honestly the peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands just can’t be beat. It’s hard to leave your dog when you need to be out of town and I can assure anyone reading this review that your dog will be very well loved if Dave is taking care of them.”
“Catherine was excellent with our dog Misiu! She was incredibly attentive, and sent lots of photos and videos throughout our vacation. She allowed him to snuggle with her in bed, which he’s used to. That was very much appreciated. We will definitely rebook with Catherine. Misiu was a happy boy the entire time, we weren’t missed 😆”
“Our dog Magoo is a regular at Timothy's and Magoo has such a great time. We always get photos and videos of our dog while we are away and Timothy is always so reliable and seamless to work with. Definitely recommend!!”
“Liam exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter! He went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable in a new place and catered to him when he was resisting food. It was only our second time using Rover, but we never worried once because of Liam’s regular communication and pictures. We can tell our dog had a great weekend and felt very comfortable!! I’d highly recommend Liam.”
“Jailene was fantastic with my dog Riley. She sent regular update, photos, and videos. He stayed over the 4th of July holiday, and Jailene had great questions beforehand to make sure he was comfortable.”
“Amy is fabulous to work with and has a pulse on her mix of dogs she watches. She gets back to you promptly and will be as flexible as possible. I have a busy 16 month old and he had the most wonderful time with her. I am so relieved I found an outstanding dogsitter”
“My furry daughter loved her :-), and we like Kira's stay too! She is quick to respond to your messages, and she sends a lot of updates with pics about my dog. Will definitely consider her for our future needs. Thanks Kira!!!”
“This was Maddie's second time visiting Eric and Martha and she had just as great a time! It's so nice to not have to worry about her wellbeing while we're away - Eric and Martha take such good care of her and are very doting and attentive to her in our absence. She's treated like a queen and we're so grateful!”
“We know our doggy was in great hands. We got lots of updates from Dustin. She went on good walks, played in the yard, and got lots of relaxing in on his couch when she wasn’t patrolling the sidewalk from the window ;-) Everything from first meeting to final pickup was smooth.”
“Lizzy did an amazing job!! This was our first experience leaving Cookie with a sitter, and it was perfect for us. With Cookie’s separation anxiety, we were really nervous about how she would react. Thanks to Lizzy’s patience and expertise, it sounded like Cookie was able to relax and get comfortable quicker than expected. Thank you, Lizzy!!!”
“Brittni and Michael were great with Olive. They were warm and welcoming when I arrived and made sure that Olive was settled in. They promised me timely updates and allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying about my dog. Having them work at home was awesome because that is what Olive is used to. Would book again! Thank you.”
“We are so pumped we found someone to trust our sensitive, teddy-bear of a pitty with when we travel! Jacquie and her hubby are true animal lovers and took care of our Cowboy just as if he was their own. I could tell when I arrived to pick him up that he was comfortable and at ease in their home. I fully trust them and would highly recommend them, especially if you have a sensitive pup that can get home sick!”
“I’m really happy with my decision to trust Loraine with cat sitting. She loves cats and is very knowledgeable about them. She is super friendly and accommodating, and by the time I left after drop off I felt like my cats would feel very comfortable! She provided lots of updates and communication which meant a lot, and I know the cats were as happy and safe as possible in a new environment. I would recommend Lori!!!”
“I felt completely at ease with Lindsay watching my pup, Loki. We did a meet and greet prior to our visit which made me feel more comfortable and ready to leave him for 4 days. During his visit I received updates daily and photos! Very happy with my experience.”
“Our dogs were so happy and loved! They felt comfortable enough to show their personalities, and loved their new friends. Even our grumpy old man came around.”
