“10/10 would recommend Heidi! My dog did amazing with her and her son and I was definitely worried he wouldn’t. Sent fun updates and I knew my dog was in great hands! She is so kind and friendly!”
“Leaving my Ashburg and Dingo in the care of Beth and her family was the best decision I’ve made for my pups. She was nice, caring, and always sent updates on how they were doing while I was working which meant a lot. I would highly recommend Beth as a sitter.”
“Meganne and her family were so nice and took great care of Sport. She listened intently to learn about his medication and made sure she knew what he needed. They took fantastic care of him and he enjoyed hanging with her dogs and being in the country. I recommend Meganne and family to anyone looking for a caring, open-spaced settng for their dog.”
“My dog had never been boarded anywhere and Morgan and Jennifer took wonderful care of her! They made sure she felt comfortable and had a great time. So many pictures were a wonderful treat.”
“Ana and Michael provided a wonderful place for us to leave Blossom for a few days. We were immediately comfortable and welcomed. Blossom made herself at home right away. She loved the fenced in back yard and all the attention. Ana was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She also provided videos and updates on how Blossom was doing. It was a wonderful experience leaving Blossom for the first time. Thank you so much.”
About: Hi, I am Joie, an experienced and caring pet sitter, dog foster, and owner of Dogwood Bed & Biscuit. I have had furry family members my whole life and have also been a dog foster for over 15 years. I just absolutely love all animals. I strive to provide a safe, fun home for the little dogs under 40 lbs. Ages 12 weeks to senior. I am experienced administering meds. Dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they are most comfortable, and I have more toys than most pet stores, as well as dog beds scattered throughout the house. I also have a dog door to the backyard; dogs are welcome to come and go to enjoy the sun in a safe, fenced-in yard or stay inside snuggled in a cozy bed. I can provide a kennel if the owner prefers. I will accept unneautered/unspayed pups but will not sit more than one at a time. I host meet-and-greets with all new families to ensure I am a good fit for your pup. I do work downtown in the afternoons on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but am home all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. I do not offer house-sitting or drop-ins, but I am available for dog daycare and boarding. I can also possibly provide pickups and drop-offs within a certain radius for an additional fee. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions or concerns... I look forward to meeting you! I currently work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays and can be home all day on weekends. My fiancé, Andrew, is home all day Nov - April, so someone would be available each day to provide care as well.. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 fun, sweet pups that love new company. They can either be chill or playful depending on the circumstances. We also have a dog door for small dogs that want to use the backyard.
“Elliah did an awesome job taking care of our Skye. We got lots of updates with photos and videos which we so much appreciated. Thank you so much for the care you gave Skye, we definitely will use Elliah again. Thanks for the treat bag, Skye loved the cookies!!”
“Darian was amazing. We used her for a 2 week vacation and we are so grateful to have found her. We will definitely use her again. She taught our puppy how to walk on a leash, which he was struggling with before we dropped him off. We received daily updates, photos and videos, and never had to worry about him being cared for, loved on and played with.”
About: I was the kid hanging out in the neighbors dog house when my mom couldn't find me. Ive had a number of dogs since early on. Currently I have 4 dogs that run our household. We treat our dogs with love and kindness and reward with positive feedback. I would like to believe that people want the best for their pets, and with my care they will be treated as you would or better. I work from home currently and have access to let the pups out as needed. The fenced yard is high. They love the space and freedom of no leash. I have a fenced yard and 4 large dogs that play well with others. I do have a separate space if nessecary to keep them separated. I like to engage with the pups to keep them busy.. Hopefully if we play long enough they sleep well for me and you.
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. It was a great experience. Lots of updates and pics and they are treated like their own animals. Will book again.”
About: I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, and fish. I like to make sure the animal is having as much fun as I am. I am currently job hunting until I start college during the second semester so I am free all hours. I can update you as often as you want about your pets. Every hour to once a day it's up to you. I have job shadowed at a vet clinic a few times so I put the animals safety first. I won't pressure or force your animal to do something they don't want. This means that I will spend time with them so they trust me to attach a lesh to go outside. I don't prefer to handle animals at night because they tend to be more cautious but I can if needed.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. In my last year of Pharmacy School on clinical rotations. Would love to help others and help take care of your pets! During summer I’m working part time, so I’ll have lots of time to be available to pet sit! During the school year I am also available! I think it’s best for pets to stay in the environment they are familiar with. I will be respectful of the pet owners boundaries for their pets.
“I took my 2 dogs there for the first time, and Jordan was great to communicate with, and she gave me plenty of updates on how the dogs were doing. I would highly recommend Jordan to take care of your dogs when you need someone to watch them for you.”
“This was the perfect place for our Walter. Lots of room to roam and very friendly hosts! Kept us updated and sent us photos, and were very flexible with timing. We will definitely be back!”
“Liz was great with Gus and Daisy! They came home happy & tired. Liz is easy to coordinate with and has great communication. I got lots of pictures throughout their stay, which gave me peace of mind. Thanks, Liz!”
About: I have taken care of all types of animals since the age of 12. Most recently I have been working for almost a year at a dog boarding facility. I also own 3 dogs and 2 cats who have always been around other animals and are all up to date on vaccines I work from home and work Friday and Saturday during the mornings. If I am able to help I will definitely help in any way I can just message me I have a fenced yard and plenty of room for playing. I have baby gates around our home for the pups and keep all animals near at all time

“I had an amazing experience with Elizabeth! She was incredibly caring, punctual, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She kept me extremely updated with detailed messages and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond in caring for my cats. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”
“Shenice was awesome! It was such a relief leaving and knowing my kitties were in good hands while I was away. Shenice took great care of them and you can tell she just loves animals. I will definitely be re-booking!”
“Briana did a fantastic job of caring for our cats while we were away! She even came an extra day when our flight was cancelled. She she sent great photos and updates. I can always tell when we have a good cat sitter by the way my kitties act when we get home and they were very "chill" and relaxed. I hope to have her come again!”
About: Growing up with multiple cats and raising two rescue tabbies of my own taught me that cats aren't 'just' low-maintenance pets—they have distinct personalities and communication styles. My approach to cat sitting includes: • Reading Them and the Room: I know when a cat wants playful interaction and when they are asking for space. I respect their cat-ness and don’t force cats into any interactions they don’t want to have. • Play & Enrichment: I use toys they like and games they find interesting and stimulating, and will ask you about what they like to do the most. • Routines and Cleanliness: I keep feeding, litterbox cleaning, and grooming to our agreed upon schedule and will make sure their space is maintained and clean while you are away. • Shy & Nervous Cats: I wait for your cats to set the tone, using patience, quiet companionship, and only the touch they prefer. I am happy to let them set the pace!
“Wendy was great with our cats. She was consistent with her visits and updates. We loved the photos she sent. We could tell they had fun with here when we came home because one of them brought his wand to us to play with.”
“Breanna is very kind and attentive! She sent pictures every time she stopped in and spent a good amount of time playing with and giving our cats attention. Would highly recommend her!”
About: While my main work as a dog walker was regarding dog care, I also provided infrequent care professionally for various cats over the years. I have also lived with cats of roommates and taken care of them like I would my own pet. Beyond that, I've provided care for the felines of friends and family, from kittens who are snuggle bugs to older cats who really just want to nap in their favorite sun spot.
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and truly understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m happy to care for playful kittens, independent adults, and senior cats who need a little extra patience and attention. My experience caring for animals includes senior pets with special dietary needs, as well as animal medical administration and attentive routine care. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, giving your cat plenty of playtime and attention, or simply giving them space when that’s what they prefer. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐱❤️
“Morgan was an excellent caretaker for my cats. She arrived at the expected times and made sure to send photos of what they were up to each day, and she communicated regularly about their habits—e.g., one cat didn’t want her food one day, but soon went back to normal. The cats clearly enjoyed her company, and everything was perfectly in order when I returned home. Morgan also went above and beyond to leave me a hand-written daily log of activities and the cats’ behaviors. I would definitely book Morgan again and recommend her to friends with pets!”
“Addison did exactly what i needed her to. She took care of my dogs and was super flexible with my crazy work schedule. I could tell when i got home by how happy my dogs were that she treated them good! I recommend her to anyone looking to get their dogs cared for!”
About: I have over 15 years of professional experience working with dogs. I manage a boarding and daycare facility, and am a certified trainer as well. I am a self employed, certified dog trainer who is looking to expand my clientelle and services offered. I have a very open and flexible schedule, weekends and evenings are okay with me! I will not be caring for any animals in my home so I do not disrupt my personal pets' lives, but I have extensive knowledge on safely handling dogs in any environment.
About: I treat my 2 dogs like children. Spoiled rotten. I enjoy animals more than I enjoy humans. Sorry, not sorry. My special skill is love lol I'm a travel nurse, working in different towns. Need more activities to do on my days off. I usually will have 3 days off. I have my dog with me and know how important he is. He is home. I prefer to go to the clients home and check on your dog and let him to go potty and or go on a walk.
About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I have the biggest soft spot for them, and I have two dogs of my own. I have had my own dog since I was about 19, but have had outdoor farm dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been around dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals for as long as I can remember. I am patient, detail orientated and I truly just love spending time with animals. Big or small, I love them all! I do work during the day, but I have the ability to pop out if/when I need to. I am free evenings and weekends. My schedule can be flexible if needed. I have a dog friendly home. To me this means there’s nothing but toys on the ground. Garbages are hidden and I am very aware of what is around my animals. I also have a dog park in front of my apartment!
About: I currently have the privilege of sharing my home with two cats: Phoenix, my 12-year-old senior queen, and Maize, my energetic 10-week-old kitten. I believe cats thrive when they have a safe, enriching environment that respects their individual personalities, so I've created spaces throughout my home with climbing opportunities, cozy hiding spots, window perches, and separate feeding areas to help them feel comfortable and secure. Phoenix is happiest when we are quietly existing next to each other. Phoenix has taught me the importance of patience, consistency and quality time in the trust building process. I have taken the time to allow her space to take the lead on the type of relationship she was willing to have with me. Like a lot of us, I didn't have background of the 10 years of life she had before coming to our home. Seeing her open up, create snuggle routines, engage in our daily conversations over wet food preparation, pay the cheese tax whenever she hears the bag, take belly up naps in the sun and slow blink back and forth while snuggling has been the most warm, authentic experience I have gotten to experience. She's my little soul cat. Caring for Maize is a little more hands-on. Before each meal, we have a short play session to satisfy his hunting instincts, followed by mealtime and either more play or quiet time depending on his energy level. Maize has been in new experience in caring for a kitten so young. We found Maize after he came running out of a corn field wide eyed and fill of cockleburs. It was never a question in my mind as to whether he would be the next member of our family, and now we are the proud parents of a 10-week-old, black kitten. It has been a completely new experience, but so incredibly rewarding. He has come from hiding behind the toilet and hissing at any movement, to demanding face to face nudges and kisses several times a day. It has been so fun to get to know this small, new little life that will create so many amazing memories for our family for years to come! Now, the admin side of kitten care has involved scooping litter boxes multiple times a day, keeping his space clean, and creating a schedule of healthy amounts of play and rest. I also regularly care for my friend’s cat, Remi. When her family is away, I visit several times throughout the day to make sure she's well cared for and has company. I love hiding her food around the house to provide her a little extra enrichment and always offer as many pets as she'll allow before she lets me know she's reached her limit and gets a little spicy. Every cat is different, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each one's unique personality while respecting boundaries.
About: I have a deep connection with everything living. Growing up with animals on my side throughout my childhood and having 5 at one time was a lot of work but it was surly amazing. I really want a fun job over the summer between school years. I love working hard and overachieving where i should be. Animals help me keep it together and always put a smile on my face no matter what Dog sitting for people i didn't know was a little weird in the beginning than my moms bookclub all started asking me. On top of meeting all the different crazy puppies and their little different perks I loved going back and them remembering me.

“She did a wonderful job with my puppy. My baby is high energy and she walked her even though it was super windy and cold. She watched her nearly all day and made sure to send pictures and updates. I highly recommend using Beth as a puppy sitter”
“Heidi and her husband have graciously welcomed Belle into their home for daycare a few different times now. I have appreciated how responsive they are, and how readily they and their dogs accept Belle into their family.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I am part of a rescue and have had many fosters throughout my home, along with many dogs myself. I had a special needs basset hound and loved giving him the extra help he needed during his life. I also have experience with puppies, big dogs, blind dogs, and shy/breeder release! I did train my dogs starting at age 12 as well. Open at any time! Walks, potty breaks, petting session and everything in between! I have very few scheduling conflicts. Available almost all day every day :) With compassion and care. I would take care of your pet as it is needed and however you request! I would treat your animal and home as I would mine.
“BOOK WITH THEM! Our puppy is our baby and we were nervous about dropping her off to play with other dogs without our supervision. We did a meet and greet with Morgan & Jennifer and they were absolutely incredible. They immediately treated Murphy like she was their own dog. When it came to daycare day, they sent us so many photos & videos. When I went to pick up Murphy, they told us how the day went. Murphy didn’t want to leave because she had so much fun! They truly care about ALL dogs regardless if they are the owners or not. Thank you so much! Best dog sitters! 💕🐶”
“Ana and her family were absolutely amazing! It’s clear that they truly understand how important our dogs are to us. Ana’s communication was unparalleled. She sent frequent updates with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while Oreo was with them. Oreo loved playing with their sweet pup Bailey in their securely fenced yard and soaking up all the loving pets from the whole family. It was obvious that they genuinely love dogs and treat their visitors like part of the family. I also really appreciated the chance to do a meet and greet ahead of time so Oreo and Bailey could meet and make sure they were a good play match. I would feel completely comfortable having Oreo stay with them again anytime, and I know he would be thrilled to go back. I won’t hesitate to reach out next time he needs some playtime and extra snuggles!”

About: I absolutely love dogs of all breeds. I am very familiar with the “bully breeds”, and larger breed dogs. I love cuddles and exploring, playing with toys, and meeting new friends at doggy parks. Working from home allows me to not have to leave your babies home alone for more than a couple of hours if I need to do errands. My 12yr old loves all animals and is willing to keep your babies active or relax and lay around. We can be a very active household, but we like to have a relax day here and there as well. Our favorite time of day is walking or running outdoors. We are pleased to have any age dog around! When your pup is with me, they will be loved and treated as if they have been in the home with us their entire life. I currently work from home so have plenty of flexibility. We have a big yard with plenty of pup toys, we are very observant and make sure everyone is doing good at all times. I am a dog trainer as well so know a lot of different skills to work with most dogs.
About: I have fostered any age dog for 3 years! Have a dog of my own for 10 and grew up on a farm with many dogs and cats. Also going to school for a vet tech. I can take on a couple dogs or cats any day of the week. Someone is always home. Have 7 people in the house with 4 adults and 3 teens. I have a fenced yard and a dog friend to play with. Also have 6 other people i. My home to help out. Am very good at calming animals and have reiki experience with animals.
About: I work remotely in marketing full time. We’re very grateful to have a nice home with a wonderful, large, fenced-in backyard that allows the dogs to go potty in and explore (bark!). My availability and hours are very flexible and the dogs are rarely left alone or kenneled, they are free to roam the house, I just close doors as necessary. I have never owned a dog of my own, I just grew up around dogs and cats. Mainly and most recently, it was a sisters two dogs our family spent the most time around: Gibbs (15 lb., 13 yr old, male Jack Russell Terrier & Beagle mix) and Zero (65 lb., 5 yr old, male Standard Poodle). I would basically Rover for her and her husband, which including giving the senior, anxiety-ridden dog meds (he didn’t enjoy, he would spit them up). We enjoyed being outdoors and evening walks around the neighborhood and having them a part of our family. They have then since moved to the West coast with their dogs. I work remotely and am blessed with the work-life balance it offers. I have an energetic elementary school-aged daughter. She's an empath and truly cares for all animals wellbeing! She's deeply concerned about any discomfort or distress. We have a dog-friendly orange cat named Buddy (4). He's fed first thing in the AM and enjoys chin scratches. He stays nearby me in my office or does his own thing. My daughter buses to and from school and I take a hour lunch at noon, then am done at 5 PM and we go about our evening routine. Dogs go out every few hours (sliding patio door) to the fenced in yard or when they signal me. Right in the morning and before bed. I try to get as much activity in for us as possible, especially on decent weather days. We utilize a nearby parks, dog park and walking trails in our community. Having the dogs here really motivate me to go for more walks, the dogs love them and I appreciate the eager walking company. I also live with my younger sister (23). She works full time 2 jobs as a CNA/retail, isn't home much but does help me care for the dogs, such as a short walk around the block. Our home is a 4 bed, 3 level split with a finished basement. It has a large secure, fully-fenced in yard and the property has 11 trees. Garage is attached. We all sleep in the upstairs bedrooms which is also where my office is. I have 2 litter boxes for my cat, one in garage that he prefers. The other is in the basement bathroom, where I can keep the door shut (Ive caught sisters dog eating litter covered turds). Our neighborhood is very safe and quiet. I have a reflective sash I wear out at night (this summer I was nearly ran over by an SUV when it was dark). The dogs usually sleep on the floor in my room and it's OK if they sleep on the bed, I am not concerned about fur. If the dog stinks, I can give them a bath either downstairs in the wash tub or upstairs in the bathtub. If they stay longer and start to stink, I will bathe them, because everyone feels better after a bath.
“Liz is AMAZING! She watches my puppy 3 days a week. My dog (who is my baby) is absolutely in love with her. He can’t wait to go there and I can tell by the way he runs to her, wags pretty much out of his skin and all the kisses she gets, that he is treated very well. He is played with so much he sleeps like a baby when we get home. Going to work with no worries (knowing that my baby is safe and taken care of) means the world. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I am a loving and dependable person; a wife and stay-at-home mom of 3 children. I live in a smoke-free environment with three responsible, independent children that adore animals. I have had past experience with pets but have none in our home at this time. This leaves room for lots of attention and love for the dogs I care for. With attention to detail accompanied by a fun-loving family, I would provide a safe and caring place for your fur-baby! I homeschool, as a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be available most days, having time to care for your pet as needed. Need to travel for the holidays? I am a home-body during most special seasons and may be available to watch your pet. I have a fenced in back yard with ample space to move around. I live in a smaller, quieter development with lots of dog-loving neighbors! I am willing to administer needed medications (oral and topical) per pet's daily protocol.

About: I’ve lived with 5 hunting dogs my entire life as I was a hunting family and had to always take care of them at home. I now own two dogs of my own that are rescues and I love them as my own family. I have taught all my dogs to sit, fetch, and learn commands. They love to play and go smell around the neighborhood. Let me know if your pet has a special accommodations! I currently work 2-3 days a week depending on the week, so I will have plenty of time to play with your animals and let them out! I am used to watching anywhere from small to large dogs as I have grown up with all sizes in my family. If your dog loves to go on walks, great because I love to exercise!
About: Pets have always been a meaningful part of my life. I recently lost my childhood dog, Sophee, and her absence has reminded me just how much joy and companionship animals bring. With years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even a variety of farm animals, I’m confident in my ability to provide attentive, loving care. I’d be honored to help make your busy schedule a little easier by ensuring your pet gets the attention, comfort, and care they deserve. I just graduated from Gustavus and am working a few jobs this summer to help me pay for my graduate school this coming fall! I work a restaurant job, so typically I’m only available before 4, or after 4, and I only know less than a week ahead. Despite this, I'm committed to making it workout with you and whatever pet you may have! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs they may have. In your home, I aim to keep their environment as familiar and stress-free as possible by sticking to their usual schedule and respecting your space. I also prioritize secure leash handling during walks and double-check doors and gates to prevent escapes. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and plenty of love.
“Thank you for handling my dog's so well. They were comfortable with you and happy and your services are greatly appreciated. I love my dog's as they are part of my family and I don't hand them over easily so, thank you.”
“If 10 stars was an option I’d give 10, but 5 will have to do. This was our first time booking with Rover and I could not be more happy. We hit the jackpot with Elsie. She was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures! Absolutely love that we can have someone care so well for our pup in the comfort of his own home!”
About: I grew up with all sorts of pets, there’s never been a day in my life where I haven’t been near an animal! Not only can I care for your dogs or cats, but I can also care for any other pet that you may have. I know how to adjust to their personalities and care for them in ways that they need. I currently work at a school, which allows me to be fully available during the summer months, as well as on select weekdays after school hours. I will be available after school from 3:30pm to 5:30pm on Tuesday-Thursday. During the summer I am available Tuesday-Thursday 8:00am-5:00pm. While working at a school, I’ve developed patience, strong organizational skills, and a commitment to consistent routines—qualities I apply to every pet I care for. I strive to make your pet comfortable and happy in their home. When coming to your home, I respect your guidelines and boundaries; I will stick to your feeding instructions, walking schedule, any behavioral cues or commands your pet knows; and frequent communication regarding your pet.

About: I walked dogs with a company for 4 years while living in New York City. The company specialized in individual household care, walking only the dogs of the household at a time. So no mess of leashes, just one-on-one (or two) dogs at a time. (I even got to walk Jimmy Buffett's dogs while working there) I cared for all manner and breed of dog, from ones that never ran out of energy and loved everyone, to dogs that just wanted to sit on the couch and didn't care about other dogs. And before that, my family always had at least one dog around while my mother trained puppies to be service animals. I have also provided care for cats over the years, having lived with them and cared for cats in dog/cat homes. My care for animals runs deep, and I love to see them get what they need to really be happy and healthy. I pay close attention to each animal and try to understand what they need and meet them where they're at, from unruly puppies to senior dogs in their sunset years. I'm currently self-employed, so I'm able to offer flexible availability to best suit the needs of each pet owner. I've grown up around pets and care deeply for their well-being, so I know how important it is for both owners and pets for the animals to get timely care and exercise. Having worked as a professional dog walker (just 1-2 dogs at a time, as to better give individual attention and care), I know how important it is to clients to be able to rely on a caregiver and trust their pet is in good hands. Each animal has their own needs that need to be accounted for, and those needs may change depending on the day or time of year. Being attentive, creative, and willing to go the extra mile means I'm giving each pet the best care I can each time.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I’ve cared for senior dogs who needed diapers, special diets, and extra patience, and I also have experience with animal medical administration and providing attentive routine care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work full time, but I have a flexible schedule and am able to work with you to find a routine that fits your needs. I’m happy to coordinate visit times and care schedules in advance so your fur family gets the consistency and attention they deserve. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule while making sure I can provide reliable, loving care for your pets. I provide care in my clients’ homes, with a focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintaining their normal routines. I offer weekend care, drop-in visits, and walks. During each visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, gets the attention and exercise they need, and receives any routine care you’ve requested. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and care instructions so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all through my life, including chihuahuas, a yorkie, pit bulls, a dachshund mix, labs, rat terriers, and more. I love to create warm environments for doggos and give them space to be themselves. I currently work part time, but I can pet sit Fridays-Sundays and Thursday afternoons at times. I may be able to do drop-ins during the week. I can dog sit at the client’s houses and am willing to help crate train, gives baths, walks, and provide other various care services. I might be able to at my apartment, but have a dog myself and would likely need a meet and greet.
About: I have had all kinds of animals growing up, I love all animals and am great with any kind!! I can provide great care and comfort to your babies when you’re away :) I currently go to school and work part-time at caribou coffee and will be working at avera brady in the soon as well, I would stay at homes if requested. I check on the animals frequently and make sure they have both food and water. I also make sure they are well taken care of before bed.
About: I’m recently retired and have had dogs all my life, since being 7 years old. I had to put my last fur baby to sleep in January 2026, and my significant other's dog to sleep in September 2026. We will be traveling over the next few years so don’t want to get another right now, and really miss having a doggo around! I used Rover quite a bit when I had dogs so would love to pay it forward and help someone else. Plus then I hopefully will get my "fix"! Live in Madison Lake with my significant other and am currently very flexible, having just retired. I usually walk first thing in the morning and then after dinner when weather permits. I love to hang outside and read on the deck overlooking the lake, or work in the garden beds, so can take your dog on the leash outside too to be in the fresh air if they like that sort of thing. My first choice would be to host dogs in our house as we have a pretty good set up for dogs. But I'm willing to drive to Mankato or St. Peter area for pet sitting or dog walking because I understand some dogs are just better off in their own space, if it's a short timeframe.
About: I have over 15 years of professional experience working with dogs. I manage a boarding and daycare facility, and am a certified trainer as well. I am a self employed, certified dog trainer who is looking to expand my clientelle and services offered. I have a very open and flexible schedule, weekends and evenings are okay with me! I will not be caring for any animals in my home so I do not disrupt my personal pets' lives, but I have extensive knowledge on safely handling dogs in any environment.
About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I pride myself on giving each animal the same love and attention they’d get from their family. I’m experienced with administering medications, following special diets, and providing calm, reassuring care for anxious pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What Sets Me Apart: I focus on building trust through consistency, patience, and clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My background in handling multiple pets at once and caring for animals with special needs means you can relax knowing your pets are in capable hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight care, or weekend stays, I make sure your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to training routines, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. In my last year of Pharmacy School on clinical rotations. Would love to help others and help take care of your pets! During summer I’m working part time, so I’ll have lots of time to be available to pet sit! During the school year I am also available! I think it’s best for pets to stay in the environment they are familiar with. I will be respectful of the pet owners boundaries for their pets.
