I would give him 10 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Takenya is fantastic! She has a very kindhearted bubbly energy that puts you at ease. My daughter had a hard time leaving our pup behind but we received daily pictures and videos that made her feel much better. Our dog Milo had an absolute blast as it appeared his stay with Takenya was just as much of a vacation as ours 😄 I would absolutely book with her again!”

Their wellbeing has always been a priority for me.
“We have two high energy Standard Poodles - a 2 and a 1 year old - who stayed with Lisa for two nights. We booked this at the last minute because our original provider had to cancel. Lisa was great with our dogs even though they’d never met her before. She knows how to connect & establish a relationship - even with our timid one year old. Lisa communicates clearly about arrangements and sent us photos and videos too. We’ll happily use her again!”
“Nicole & David were amazing!!!! They took such good care of our newly rescued dog for two weeks. They are well equipped and knowlagable when it comes to integrating dogs into their home. They are exceptional with communication and sent daily photos, videos, and updates. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a loving dog sitter and will absolutely work with them again!”

“This was the best dog sitting experience I can imagine! Ellen was quick and clear in communication prior to booking and made it very easy when we decided to do a Meet and Greet. She went above and beyond to make things as simple as possible to accommodate my travel and preferences. Ellen sent the cutest pictures and updates while I was away, and it was clear my dog could not have been in better hands!”
“We loved having our dog stay with Brenda and her family. We will definitely use them again. She sent pictures every day,veas an excellent communicator and my dog was playing with her dogs when I came to pick him up. A+ experience! Thanks Brenda!”
“Deb sent updates and pictures often. Our dog is a little bit spoiled and Deb did great with her. I could tell she loves animals. Deb has a great set up inside for the dogs and a fenced yard too. We will definitely use her again. Our dog came back happy and well cared for!”
“Katie did an awesome job taking care of Copper! She did a great job sending updates that included pics and videos. Could tell that he had a great time with her! Would highly recommend.”

“Alexis took great care of Pepper while we were gone. She sent me updates daily so I never had to wonder how she was doing. Pepper was relaxed and happy when we returned, a true sign that she had a great stay.”

“Excellent service with consistent times, pictures, and everything done thoroughly and properly! Was even flexible to make the key exchange work last minute which was a lifesaver! Highly recommend.”
“Hannah was so great with our cats (one very timid, one very playful) and even helped put a cone on one of the cats which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend!”
“Shayla was wonderful! This ended up being a last minute trip we took and Shayla took the time to even squeeze in a meet and greet before we left. The check-ins and details updates were great and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing Harvey was in good hands. We will be rebooking again - Thank you Shayla!!”
“Kayleah is great! She helped us out last minute and was so efficient with communication during our time away. Our cat is also very particular about strangers and she did a great job taking care of him. We will continue to book her if we ever need someone to take care of our little fur babies while we’re gone.”
“Meredith was incredibly thoughtful and reliable! I was so thankful for the detailed daily updates when I was gone for the week, and my cat seemed to truly love her!”
“This was our first experience using Rover. Thank you for making it so easy. Macy S was the best! She was so polite and conscientious. She sent the cutest pictures of our cats warming up to her and it made us feel relieved they were safe so we could enjoy our time away from them. Overall very positive experience. Would use Rover again.”
“Jenna was great! She was easy to plan with, easy going about the instructions for my cats, and was very nice to chat with. My cats were a little naughty (just making messes and being cats) and she handled that all really well.”
About: Short and sweet, I have been taking care and loving animals my entire life. (41 years). I grew up on in the country with large dogs, typically at least two of them in the house at all times, that were rescues. I have experience with the entire lifetime of animals, both dogs and cats, from birth to the final day. If you are experiencing those difficult senior years or decision-making process, I am there for you 100%. I am more than comfortable around big dogs! If my place was big enough for and they had room to run outside I would definitely have golden retriever or boxer. Today I'm a cat mom of 9 years for a fluffy, big, orange, adorable cat who you guessed it - is a rescue. That said, I am great with both dogs and cats!
“Penny was my favorite sitter so far. She was great at communicating before, during, and after the trip. She left my house almost better than it was before I left. But most importantly, she bonded with my cats. I felt completely at ease while away because I could tell by her messages and photos that she genuinely liked my cats. Bonus... She also has a sense of humor. I will definitely be booking with Penny again.”
“Jayda was great with my timid cat while we were gone! It was the first time she has been fully alone since my other cat passed away and Jayda spent lots of time playing and petting on her to keep her company. She was also very consistent and sent lots of photos to let us know how Harper was doing.”
About: My first German Shepard, Sheeba, trotted into my life when I was 4, and my intense, burning passion for dogs ignited. I’ve had them throughout my life and have yet to meet a dog I didn’t adore. Basically, I’m the guy at house parties in the office alone smooshing your pup’s face and giving them belly rubs. I’m comfortable with all sorts of breeds and temperaments. I work remote in a deadline based job that offers me some excellent flexibility. I’m able to be on site with your dog throughout the day, ensuring they get plenty of attention and outside time. When I’m caring for your dog, I’m caring for your family member. I know firsthand the amount of trust it takes to allow someone to be responsible for your loved one(s) and respect your property, and I don’t take that lightly.
“I will be forever grateful for Danielle’s loving care of my Emma. She went above and beyond. Period. Danielle followed every instruction regarding food and general care but what mattered most to me was her focus on Emma’s emotional wellbeing. Her kindness, love and knowledge of cats helped ensure a safe environment for my beloved Emma. The photos and videos I received from each visit was a joyful relief. I will definitely request Danielle again and again and again.”
“Natalie did great with my special-needs cat. I was short on time due to a different pet sitter canceling last-minute, and Natalie handled all of my requests perfectly. Will definitely book again.”
“Jill did an amazing job caring for our two cats and keeping us updated daily with photos and texts. I would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to others!”
“Cindy is an absolute pleasure to work with. I can tell she adores our cats. She shares wonderful updates and we feel so much better knowing she is going to show our cats affection while we are out of town.”
“Emily did a great job caring for my cat Cecil while I was gone for 2 weeks. She gave him lots of attention, scritches, brushing, and strokes, while keeping me in the loop on how he was doing.”

About: Welcome to CharMollys Pet Sitting! 🐾 Hi, I’m Mario, and I provide loving, reliable care for both dogs and cats in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment. Whether your pet is staying for boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, or walks, I treat every animal like a member of my own family. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. From energetic dogs who love playtime and walks to cats who prefer a quiet, relaxing space, I take the time to learn their personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. When boarding with me, pets receive plenty of attention, affection, fresh water, regular potty breaks, playtime, and a clean, comfortable place to rest. Safety is always my top priority, and I strive to create a low-stress environment where pets can feel happy and secure while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates so you can stay connected and have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being well cared for. Thank you for considering CharMollys Pet Sitting. I look forward to meeting you and providing exceptional care for your beloved pets! – Mario CharMollys Pet Sitting 🐶🐱 I’m available for drop-offs and pick-ups anytime, day or night, and I maintain a very flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Whether you need early morning, late evening, or last-minute arrangements, I’m happy to work with you. I have an open schedule and can provide reliable, attentive care while making the drop-off and pick-up process as convenient and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Your pet will enjoy a calm, private, air-conditioned room designed exclusively for boarding. I provide personalized attention, daily photo and video updates, and an stress-free environment where shy, nervous, and senior pets can feel safe and comfortable. With years of animal care experience, I understand animal behavior and give each guest the patience and care they deserve. Unlike traditional boarding facilities, your pet will stay in a room by itself, helping reduce stress and create a more relaxing experience
“Stephanie was super nice, we were able to meet her and one of her cute dogs the day before leaving our puppy with her! She has a great yard for the dogs to play in. She answered our messages very fast and she sent cute pictures of out little boy! Great experience! I will contact her again next time I have to work long hours.”
“Bethany was THE BEST person for my dog. She has a very lovely home that is tidy and has created such a calming and welcoming vibe. Throughout the sit, she would keep me informed on what was going on and reassured my anxieties of leaving my dog with her. She listens and respects any of your requests. I could tell my dog had a lovely time with her because by the time I came to pick him up, he was hesitant to leave, which all the good signs that he felt at home. If I'm ever in the area again, Bethany would ultimately be my first choice. Thank you Bethany for all you've done to help my dog feel like it was another home and friend to visit.”
“Our lab Murphy had his first daycare session with Emily and everything went great! It was all very well organized with plenty of feedback and pictures. He loved playing with the other dogs and helping in the garden. He came home exhausted and happy. We will definitely return for future daycare and boarding!”

“Thank you so much for watching Tonka! He had an absolute blast — he came home, flopped over like he had just run a triathlon, and then gave me that “I had the best day ever” look. It’s obvious he adored hanging out with you and your family. The Best. Honestly, you were super awesome with him, and I’d happily recommend your dog‑watching superpowers to anyone who needs a reliable, fun, and all‑around amazing sitter. Tonka is already lobbying for his next “vacation” at your place.”
About: Hi, we can take care of your dog if located near the Cathedral Hill neighborhood. Daughter, 17, is great with dogs and available for short walks and feeding. Mom is available to help as needed. We might be able to overnight watch your dog, depending on the circumstances. We have a flexible schedule since our daughter does online school but more availability in later afternoon or evening for longer assignments . We also have weekend availability. We live in a neighborhood close that is walkable to the park. We may be able to watch your animal in our home but may prefer to dog sit depending on the circumstance.
“We needed help watching our dog during the day while moving and Sally was great! I got multiple very cute updates of him each day and it seemed like he had a great time playing and running in the backyard. She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times.”
“Luke & Aria (your sweet Doberman) thanks for providing a great afternoon for GiGi! I appreciate that they could play so well together in your fenced yard, that she had a lot of water and potty breaks and that you gave very good supervision. It was so nice to hear that you would love to take care of her again, to read your nice comments and that you provided cuddle time. You live in such a convenient location near a highway exit and other Rover clients could get a lot of errands done close to your home. We will call again.”
“Lucy, our 1yo lab/shepherd mix loved staying with Lydia! Lydia sent photos and updates, so we felt like we knew how things were going. We appreciate that she was well cared for while we were unavailable.”

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid. In middle school, I began taking care of family & friends’ dogs. I love spending quality time with dogs, getting to know their unique personalities, and honoring their needs. I am also an experienced dog groomer who values building a bond of trust with pets and their families. I am a full-time student from September-May. I work part-time during the summer, so I generally have more time to spend with your pet throughout the week. I play organ and sing at various churches every weekend, which occupies my Saturday evenings & Sunday mornings. I also practice music every weekday morning. My home does not allow for pets, so I will be happy to stay in your home and take care of your dog in the environment they know best.
“Michelle did an amazing job with Daisy. Very timely with communication in the booking process. Very impressed and will be the first place we look when we have walking needs!”
About: Growing up with 2 dogs, I know the amount of pure joy and giggles all doggies bring to families! I grew up with 2 little Dachshund (wiener) Dogs named Frankie and Lily! They were both so smart and oddly enough thought they could fly! They knew every night at exactly 9pm it was officially SNACK time! As they both aged, I spent much time carrying them up/down stairs, walking them and bringing them to appts such as Vet, Chiro and other therapies. There is no greater experience than coming home to your best friend wagging their tail. My main job is supporting the deaf/hard of hearing in the twin cities. My work experience allows me to get a sense of my surroundings quickly. I have experience house sitting, walking dogs and also taking dogs to vet/grooming appointments. Now I have 2 fur babies Highlander cats, Gracie and Fynn. ❤️ can’t believe I lived so long without my kitty cats!!
About: I’ve had 15 years of dogs in my houses and many pets in the family who have needed sitting. I’m also normally responsible for the puppy age :) My dog is a 6 year old black lab. We live along the river in a townhouse, so I’m always out taking him for long walks or to the neighborhood dog park. I’m currently unemployed so have lots of free time and in the habit of pet care! Pet care available in our home. We have 3 separate floors so I can keep your dog apart from my dog if preferred. Lovely dog park a short walk from the house, access to grass areas right outside our front door, and miles of paths along the river that a very walk friendly.
About: I've owned a dog and/or a cat since I left college and once had 3 dogs, 3 cats and 2 children under age 6 in the same house! I worked for a pet sitting business in Virginia for two years and love to observe animals and get to know to know them on their terms. Experience matters with pets and I have that, combined with great communication and common sense. I'm the person you want watching your furry friends when you can't be there. I'm also a photography lover and I'm happy to work to get some good shots of your animals while taking care of them. I'm a semi-retired journalist who often works remotely, so I have plenty of time to pet sit. With my kids in college, my nest is empty except for my Pueto Rican chihuahua mix, Nina. We walk two or three times a day when the weather and my schedule permits. I'll care for your pets as if they were mine. I've owned multiple cats and dogs, from 8 pounds up to 90. If you have the patience and experience, almost every animal will give you clues on how they want to be treated.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up helping care for them from an early age, my grandmother had over 30 dogs as well as my dad who had 2 for security in his business, so animals have always been part of my daily life. I’ve also had dogs of my own throughout my life and have independently pet-sat and walked animals regularly over the past 5 years. In addition, I spent time volunteering with the Minneapolis Animal Care & Control, which gave me experience working with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Also cats. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs a calm walk, extra attention, or a high-energy outing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I’m an entrepreneur and also working part-time. Since I make my hours, I have a really flexible schedule and can accommodate last minute requests. I offer physical affection and fun playful stimulation. Also attempt to their diet, offering treats and playing games, if available. Rest time is important, as well.
“Remy is great with my dog! She is communicative and thorough. I know my dog is in great care with her. She is also a great photographer and sends the best pictures! I highly recommended Remy!”
About: Someone who grew up with at least two rescue dogs in the house at all time, a few cats and horses, I've taken care of animals of all sizes, breeds, personalities, ages, and needs throughout my lifetime. I've even seen kittens born! I raised and loved the one I chose to mine, finally saying goodbye when she reached the ripe age of 21. Whether it is puppies / kittens, mid-life, or elderly I have experienced all the life stages of our fur babies. I've also dealt with the not so fun parts of being a fur baby parent. From cleaning up hairballs or puke because the dog decided to eat grass, cleaning a dog who decided it was a good idea to go for a swim in the pond, or literally breaking up cat fights... I've been there. Because I teach, and right now school is out, I would be home during the majority of the day during the summer for pet sitting. Come the school year, I would be away between school hours. Because right now I'm working part-time I have plenty of extra time to fit walking your fur baby into my schedule! I have a large porch which leads down to a fenced-in yard. My fur baby personally loves sunning himself on the porch or going down to the yard and just exploring. The apartment itself is a renovated music studio so it is wide, spacious, and beautifully designed. Your fur baby would have his own feeding area and you are welcome to bring any toys or other comfort items. I've had to board my cat before so I know how important the small things are.
About: I got my first dog (Winston) when he was a puppy and have been through it all with him, including puppy training! Although he’s older now, Winston is still full of energy and super playful, so I do well with active and energetic dogs. When he does have his calmer moments, I’m always there for a short walk with lots of stops to lay in the grass! Additionally, I’ve worked with senior dogs in the past. I have experience administering daily oral medication and going for walks with dogs that have mobility issues, such as arthritis and weak knees. I love to go on daily walks, often in the late afternoon or early mornings, and always enjoy the company of a furry friend! On the weekends I am available throughout the whole day for walks and playtime. I have years of experience walking my own dog in a city environment and am always focused on my surroundings, from cars to food on the sidewalk, to ensure his safety and enjoyment. Additionally, I have a lot of experience working with dogs that have anxiety. Winston is very sensitive to certain noises, such as the shuffling of playing cards, so I always make sure to avoid using cards around him. When entering a client’s home, I always make sure to treat the space exactly how I would want my space to be treated; with care and respect.

“The whole family loves animals and knows how to keep a happy calm household. The fenced in yard has shade and places to play and explore. The human family can watch the canine family through the patio door too.”
“We loved having our dog stay with Brenda and her family. We will definitely use them again. She sent pictures every day,veas an excellent communicator and my dog was playing with her dogs when I came to pick him up. A+ experience! Thanks Brenda!”
“Deb sent updates and pictures often. Our dog is a little bit spoiled and Deb did great with her. I could tell she loves animals. Deb has a great set up inside for the dogs and a fenced yard too. We will definitely use her again. Our dog came back happy and well cared for!”
“Katie did an awesome job taking care of Copper! She did a great job sending updates that included pics and videos. Could tell that he had a great time with her! Would highly recommend.”
“Robert did a great job with my geriatric dog. He got her to go for a longer walk than we've been able to lately, and was patient with her enough to accomplish that. He also sent lots of great pictures of how she was doing. Thank you for the great care!”
About: I have 3 dogs, 2 of which were raised from birth, assisting in the birth of 1. Continually implementing positive crate training and standard obedience training. Invested in keeping them active and healthy I have a full-time job but I am home every day by 2:30pm. I look forward to spending time with your pups during the afternoon and evenings as well as holidays! I have 3 friendly fixed active pups (9M,7F,5F years of age) to keep your pup company. I have a non fenced in back yard for playing and live near a park excellent for walks. I have a medium sized dog crate that I use for night time crating. We allow pets on furniture in our house.
“This is the place to bring your pups for great care, a fun backyard and awesome support. Do not hesitate to book, your dog(s) will have a blast. They are willing to work with all types of dogs, so check in with them! Thank you!”
“Catherine was absolutely wonderful! This was Zuri's first time staying away from home and Catherine went above and beyond to make her feel at home. Catherine sent daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated, and lots of special treats and special love were given. Zuri also enjoyed having another dog to play with, as she is an only child. I would highly recommend Catherine and will definitely use her again.”
“Erin was wonderful and provided updates with photos and video throughout our trip. Our dog seemed to have the best time. We will definitely use Erin again for future trips!”
“Highly recommend Jaley for anyone looking for dog care! Communication was seamless and she sent regular photo updates throughout the stay so I never worried. Her location is full of walking trails and nature which is perfect for walking dogs. I will absolutely book with her again!”
“Remy and Walter had their first overnight. It was great. They came home happy and tired. Lots of photos and a couple of videos made it look like they felt at home. Will be back in a couple of weeks for a longer stay.”
“Andrea did an amazing job with our 5 month old puppy Goose! We were nervous to leave him for such a long period of time, but as soon as we met Andrea, we knew he would be in great hands.”
