“I highly recommend Nathan & Laura! They and their daughters did an excellent job with my high energy dog. Their fenced yard was great for my dog to exercise. Will rebook when they are available.”
“Jai had a fantastic time with Peter and Barbara! Lots of walks and playtime with other pups. Sent a ton of pictures to keep us updated. Flexible and agreed for a last minute stay. Will repeat!”
“Would give 10/5 stars if i could!!!! I got lots of updates and photos and they're obviously really good with dogs. Bluto is usually super stressed when he comes home from being boarded but hes completely relaxed and obviously had a good time there. Will definitely try to rebook every time i go on a trip.”
“Christina is INCREDIBLE, I have a sensitive older Husky, and staying with Christina was like summer camp for him. She frequently send photos and videos and is very responsive and accommodating. 11/10 experience!”
“I had the absolute pleasure of having Heather take care of my dog, Opal, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Heather went above and beyond to make sure Opal felt comfortable and loved. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind and showed how well Opal was being cared for. Not only did she take Opal on multiple walks, but she also gave her a bath, leaving her looking and feeling fresh. The love and attention Opal received were beyond what I could have hoped for, and I will definitely be using Heather again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Jamie and Kyle were so wonderful and took such good care of my girl. They treated her like a total princess and made sure she didn’t miss us one bit for the time we were gone. Jamie sent tons of photos and communicated an update at least once a day so I always knew what my doggo was up to and made being away from her easier. I would absolutely have my doggo stay with her again!”
“Our dog loved his stay with Patty (especially the big backyard)! She was very prompt and helpful in communicating, and did an excellent job caring for our slightly anxious boy. She also accommodated our last-minute booking and was flexible with drop off and pick up.”
“Nicole was awesome! Super good with communication and keeping us updated on how our pup was doing. Also Nicole was super flexible and very kind when our plans got shifted due to a flight cancellation. I highly recommend you book Nicole for all your pet sitting needs. We’re so happy that we knew our dog was in good hands and Nicole made sure we never had to worry about anything with our pup through our whole vacation.”
“Our pups Nova and Archer loved it there! They had sent us many photos and videos (which we loved!) We will definitely be going to them again in the future. Great family, great environment and most importantly our dogs enjoyed getting loved by the kids. They helped tire the pups out, so thank you for that!! ?”
About: Hi, I’m Sierra! I’ve loved animals my entire life and have years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy getting to know each one so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own by providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, potty breaks, walks, and any special needs to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and make sure both you and your pet have the best experience possible. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I work hard to keep each pet on their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I always keep a close eye on the pets in my care and treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I would give my own. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Emily took wonderful care of our Stella while we were at an out state wedding. We were able to enjoy ourselves knowing Stella was well taken care. Emily did a great job of sending pictures thoroughout the weekend of Stella's happenings. I would highly recommend Emily. Her passion for animals, approachable personality, and flexibility made the experience a wonderful success!”
“Kylee and David are excellent pet sitters! I don't have to worry at all when our dog is with them. He gets to go on adventures and lots of walks. He comes home happy and sleepy! :)”
“Rachel and her family always go above and beyond to not only make sure that my pup is well taken care of, but sends many pictures and updates for our peace of mind! Many walks, hikes, time outside just hanging out with fellow dog friends, and plenty of pets and love were evident! Thank you again!!”
About: I have two chocolate labs at home. I have cared for these dogs for 8+ years, and I have also dog-sat plenty of my neighbors', community members', friends', and relatives’ dogs over the years. I love to adventure with my dogs, but I can accommodate whatever adventure means for each dog, based on ability and the owner's desire. Also, I have done training with my oldest dog, have experience giving medication upon the owner's instructions, and have sat with quite sick dogs (my attentiveness to needs in this department is high). Overall, excited to sit for you! And let me know if you have further questions for me! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pups! I’m available for watching on both weekends and weekdays when you need my help! I will have work throughout the week, but I can pick up times to watch as my schedule is flexible. I spend a lot of time with my dogs when they go outside, and I walk/run them every day. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I also have experience ensuring owners’ dogs receive their medications and the correct dosages. Overall, I can adjust to all your pup’s needs!
“Lisa made us and our boys us feel welcome and comfortable from the beginning. She sent us updates and pictures of them while we were away. She was easy to get ahold of and responded quickly. We would recommend her to anyone and would definitely have her look after our boys again.”
“Amber has been so wonderful and a lifesaver for my pooch and me. After fracturing my ankle, she came and picked up hanky for a few days while I was unable to properly take care of him. She brought him home when I was feeling better and now picking him up while I await surgery. I am so fortunate to have her and know my hanky boy is in good hands as I go through this. Thank you to her and her family for the help and support❤️”
“Casey took good care of our dog while we were away on vacation. This was his first time away from us for so long and I was a bit worried about how he would handle it. Casey took the time to send me pictures and videos each day to show how well he was handling the separation. Our dog was very happy for most of the time away from us, and I could tell that Casey took the time to take good care of our dog. He followed all of our instructions for care very well. I highly suggest his services and we'll be sharing his name with other local dog owners.”

“Sabrina and her daughter did such a wonderful job! We were so happy to get daily updates on our cats during the drop in visits, and are very thankful for how attentive and helpful they were. Will definitely book with Sabrina again in the future!”
“Courtney was the sweetest individual ever who took such good care of my kitty while he stayed with her. Most people wouldn't be willing to board a cat for near a week and she not only did but she did everything she could to make him comfortable during that time. Will absolutely be booking with her again!!”
“Adriana took very good care of our pets and they loved spending time and playing with her! She communicated with us very well and worked with us if we need to modify the schedule. I would definitely recommend her services.!”
“Kimberly was the absolute best to work with! I felt really comfortable leaving for the holidays knowing Leroy would be well taken care of. Each visit, Kimberly sent beautiful pictures of their playtime and videos of Leroy chatting. I will definitely be booking with her again”
About: I have owned cats my entire life. My very first pet was a Siamese cat named Emma that I got for Christmas when I was 7 years old. Since then I have owned pretty much every breed of cat throughout my lifetime. I have owned mama cats, and kittens. I have no problem cleaning litter boxes and have no allergies.
“Talia is absolutely wonderful! I was SO comfortable and confident with her watching my kitten. She provides lots of updates and communicates frequently; I can’t wait to use her services again, and I would highly recommend her to anyone!!”
About: Hi! My name is Abigail, and I’m 24 years old. I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always felt like second nature to me. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, including dogs of all energy levels—from high-energy breeds that need structure and engagement to calm, easygoing companions like golden retrievers—as well as cats with a variety of personalities. I’m comfortable adapting my care to meet each animal’s unique needs. I currently offer in-home pet sitting, providing attentive care in your pet’s familiar environment so they can remain comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also provide basic training support and walking assistance, especially for owners who may need extra help keeping their pets active and well cared for. I’m open to caring for other animals as well, such as birds or reptiles, as long as clear instructions are provided to ensure their routines and needs are met properly. With availability during the second half of my week, I’m excited to grow my pet-sitting business long term. My goal is to earn trust, build strong relationships with both pets and owners, and eventually turn my passion for animal care into a full-time career. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I look forward to connecting with interested pet owners and would be happy to answer any questions. Wishing you a wonderful day! I currently work the first half of the week but am available after 4 PM on Wednesdays and anytime from Thursday through Saturday. With this flexibility, I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets during my off days. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions provided by the owner. I keep a clean, pet-safe space, supervise pets at all times, and never introduce new animals without permission. In a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I pay close attention to pets’ body language and behavior to keep them comfortable and stress free. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“Julia took wonderful care of our cat, Harvey. She was very responsive and communication was excellent throughout. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Christina is wonderful with animals and very professional. She took care of my two cats and hamster while we were on vacation. She was reliable and kept me informed about the status of my animals. She communicates very well. I already booked our next vacation with Christina watching our pets. I recommend her 100%!”
“Kate is wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and a pet sitter. I have always relied on friends or a family member to check on our cats. Kate was very responsive throughout the whole process and made me feel at ease. She sent comprehensive updates on her visits and pics. I highly recommend her and will absolutely book again when we need a sitter!”
“Sherry is trustworthy and reliable! We have a high energy puppy and she did a great job with her! Sherry was very willing to continue the training we are currently doing to keep the consistency for our puppy. I greatly appreciated that. I highly recommend Sherry :)”
“Sav came to my rescue when I needed care for my 9yo Newfie following an unexpected health event of my father and sudden change in plans. Knowing my pup would receive high quality compassionate care allowed me to focus on my out of state family. Sav was responsive, attentive to detail, in tune with my senior pup’s needs, and her exceptional service brought me calm+confidence. I’m excited to have found a dependable new care giver that I can look to for future needs.”
“Beth was wonderfully professional!!! She sent us pictures of our pets and a brief report every night! It put our minds at ease that she was taking such good care of our pets and watched our house, including bringing in the mail and watering the plants. I recommend her highly!!”
About: I have 6 years in animal care 2 years of that is working animal control for the city! I love caring for other pets and animals. I treat them as my own ! i work Thursday- Monday working animal control and then I come home and care of my personal pets. I’m constantly surrounding myself with animals as they are a big part of my life! I love other animals and treat them all as if they were mine. I have two fantastic dogs, a lab and a German Shepard lab! They are very nice dogs and love hanging out with other pets. I don’t typically do overnights as I work quite a bit. But I’d love to come walk your dog, and drop in for potty time!
About: I was never a cat person until I found a kitten on the side of the road and took her home. Now I couldn’t imagine my life without a cat! I currently have 2 cats of my own, Jam is a 1 and a half year old Tuxedo cat and Momo is a 9 year old Flame Point Siamese. I have experience cleaning ears and giving meditation to cats, as my Momo is more on the elderly side and needs a little extra TLC. :) Of course nobody loves cleaning litter boxes, but for a feline friend I gladly do it! :)
About: Hello there! I have been working in the pet industry for 6 years now and two years not in the industry. I have done everything from training to grooming. Currently living in Minneapolis, I have one larger dog named Gros tet (big head). He melts like butter and plays according to the animal visitors play type! When you book with me know your animals are in good hands, I will ask questions before the final book to make sure it is a good fit for you and for me. Communication is key in my eyes, and I love sending photo updates throughout the day! 2019 I left the active duty military, and my husband of 3 years is still active duty Marines. (So if you have an energetic pup that needs some run time we would be happy to accommodate!) when it comes to grooming, I operate my at home salon…well at home… could be good for some doggies and not so much for others. Ask away! I love giving recommendations to educate people about their pets:) Much love, The Legers At the moment I do not work but I go to online college! I’m typically home all day unless I need to step out for errands. We go to bed around 10-12pm and wake up around 7am everyday. Pretty relaxed. If you have a list I’ll gladly go through it. Every dog is different and with ever dog routines need to be adjusted. Since I already have a dog in home usually, visiting dogs like following him around, typically he is a very good trend setter! I will only do things I feel comfortable with, for example, if weather is bad and you would like a walk during the day, the animals safety comes first! We will try other games around the house! Or maybe even a training/mental stimulation session!

“We had our dog Nala hang out for a few hours while we went on a motorcycle ride. Immediately they were so nice and wanted us to check out their space beforehand and let us know the area Nala would be. They took pictures while we were out and their daughter was excited for Nala to be there. Highly recommend these guys. They love dogs and are very hospitable. Very clean and safe environment for your fur baby.”
“Rachel and her family are awesome! Great communication, (I recieved lots of pictures of her day) My puppy warmed up to them and the other dogs so quickly! She came home happy and ready for a good nights sleep! Definitely recommended and will be my choice for next time!”

“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our slightly spoiled dog with someone he didn’t know. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Jamie! Our dog has anxiety issues and Jamie sent updates and pictures and I could see he was very comfortable. After we picked him up he was calm and no anxiety! Thank you Jamie sooo much!!”
“Patty is the absolute best. Our boy is reactive, and when we had family visit, we needed a place for him to stay during the day to avoid the stress of having strangers (to him) in the house. Oh my goodness I cannot say enough good things about his stay! She was so flexible with timing, which was great since our dinners and activities were very variable. She gave us lots of pictures, followed his lead on if/when he wanted to meet new dogs, and he was so excited to see her every day! She was responsive, kind, and the big yard to run around in was so so good for him. Patty is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs, and asked all the questions that made me feel like she was going to handle our dog well. She gives full answers to any questions you may have, as well. We will for sure be using her again!”
“Nicole is great to work with. She is very good with my dog. She takes him to dog parks and on walks and when he comes home, he is tired! She is knowledgeable and has shared some tips with me which I really appreciate. She communicates with me during the day and sends lots of pictures. I am very grateful to have found her!”
“Heather and her family did such an amazing job with Edie. They helped her ease into a new environment and gave her lots of love and affection. Heather sent many updates during the day and in all the pictures Edie looked happy and content. When Edie got home she was exhausted from a day of fun. I would recommend Heather to anyone looking for care for their pup!”
“Casey is capable, considerate, and responsive when caring for your pets. Sent some fun videos throughout the day and it was a relief knowing that our dog was in great hands. Our pup came back exhausted and happy. Will definitely use Casey in the future!”
“Not only were Aneesa and Ethan super flexible with working out pick-up/drop-off times, but Chester also came home SO happy and obviously well taken care of during his stay. Can't wait for the puppies to hang out again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Savannah (or Sav for short!) and I’ve worked in pet care for 6 years in Minneapolis before moving to Duluth, resulting in completing hundreds of walks and dozens of sittings- and I love what I do! I also am the dog mom of a spunky 11 year old German Shepard mix. I understand the need for detailed and compassionate care, especially in the winter and summer when extra resources like dog boots or extra water may be needed. The pets I’ve had in my care lately range from pit bulls and labs to pugs and even older dogs. I am excited to meet your dog! I spend all day, everyday walking dogs of all ages and breeds. Pet care is my full time job and I love what I do! Many dogs feel most comfortable in their own home so I am happy to provide sittings in your home to care for your pet the way you would! I have experience training and specific requests, like administering medications. I always will treat your pet with the utmost care and respect!

“Courtnie is absolutely fantastic! My little guy is usually a bit skittish when going to a new home for day care but he warmed up extremely well with Courtnie and her dogs! She is super accommodating and incredible when it comes to the care of dogs, very highly recommended her! Thank you so much!! ?”

“Amber is the best! I'm so happy with how it's going with my pups! My chihuahua-dachshund is impossible to walk but just a couple of weeks of walking with Amber and he's walking without pulling!!”
About: I have owned my dogs since they were puppies and trained them myself for general commands as sit, down and come, and also potty training. I also grew up with cats. I also used to have a roommate where I would assist in the care of her German Shepherd as well who does not do well with strangers, which makes me used to big dogs that seem scary and can pull if they want to. I have one dog of my own currently and a toddler. We live in our own home in town with a fenced yard. I have already had COVID-19 and also am fully vaccinated for COVID-19. I currently work full time 9-5 job Monday-Friday straight. I can easily schedule drop ins and walks fitting around this schedule as my regular schedule is extremely predictable. I’m flexible in needing to leave work early if I need to on certain days and may be able to accommodate for last minute changes in your needs. I am comfortable with both shy and overly exitable pets of all sizes and can match their energy and needs. I will take pets on outings and work with training on request.
“Christina is wonderful with our 4 month old puppy Dolly. She has been very helpful in the training and socializing processes. She is very kind, patient, courteous and responsible. Christina communicates all needs or issues respectfully. Christina does her best to accommodate any changes to Dolly’s walk schedule. We feel 100% confident that Christina cares for Dolly as if she were one of her own. My husband and I can not say enough good things about Christina. If we could we would definitely give her way more than 5 stars. We would 100% recommend Christina to all of our family and friends.”
“Audriana is fantastic! She gives my updates of how my puppy is doing on his walks and sends me pictures. She also gave me over a months notice when she was going to be out of town and not able to walk my little guy. Would HIGHLY recommend Audriana.”
About: I love animals of all shapes, breeds, sizes etc. Growing up I was surrounded by a variety of dogs; collies, mastiffs, and great danes. There was never a time we did not have a dog. I have a lot of experience with dogs and some with cats. I am also very familiar with geckos and bearded dragons. I had a crested gecko as well as a bearded dragon. I currently have two dogs: Skye and Bella. They are sisters who look and act completely different. Skye has had some medical issues so I'm familiar with medication administration and cleaning out ears. I work short shifts at my regular jobs so just message me to see if I am good fit for your fur babies! I will always do my best to make things work In my home, I walk my dogs around the neighborhood 3-4 times a day. So I would do the same for your dog(s). We love to go to the dog park and try to do that every week. With your approval that is always an option. In your home, I will make sure to follow your instructions so that you and your fur baby are as comfortable and happy as can be.
About: I have two chocolate labs at home. I have cared for these dogs for 8+ years, and I have also dog-sat plenty of my neighbors', community members', friends', and relatives’ dogs over the years.

I also have experience ensuring owners’ dogs receive their medications and the correct dosages. Overall, I can adjust to all your pup’s needs!
About: Living on a farm, I have a lot of experience interacting with animals of all kinds. Running a farm of any size is not a one person job so my family is a big part of my life. I can’t imagine a better place to live doing something I love. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Whether it is feeding and watering our chickens and cows or grooming our dogs, I work hard to ensure our animals are cared for. I am a stay at home mom so your four legged friends will rarely be left alone. I work hard to follow any instructions owners may give me. Additionally, I make sure all animals in our care have access to food, water, and love. I also like to take a few pictures of what we are up to send them to people so they know their pet is getting loved and cared for.
About: I've been taking care of pets for 6 years and have 4 pets currently. Bluto (olde english bulldogge), Ruby (rottweiler), Tibby (siamese), and Molly (longhair). I do have experience with senior cats and dogs. We can talk a long walk on nature trails, or we can go for a slow stroll around the neighborhood! I only do gig work, so my schedule can fit around whatever your needs are. If something ever changes, you can always reach out and we'll work something out. For drop ins, I'll stop in and make sure theres no potty mess and if your kitty wants to we can play with whatever toys are available. We'll play for a bit so they're happy and worn out by the time we're done.
About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I grew up with long haired dachshunds. I have also owned labs, a Dalmatian, huskies, you name it. I love big cuddly dogs the most, but will love up on the smallest to the biggest dog the same. I also have a big heart for senior pets. I work full-time during the week but I am always on the go and able to help with pet sitting, dog walking, helping with caring for animals as needed. I am available for house-sitting depending on the days/times. When I go to someone's home to care for their pet I will treat it as though it is my own pet, which is with the utmost care, kindness and love. I have a huge heart for all living beings including animals and humans. I am highly responsible, and responsive.
About: I have two dogs of my own and foster regularly for a local rescue. Friends and family often rely on me for pet sitting because they trust my reliability, responsibility, and genuine love for animals. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care to every pet I meet. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work part-time mowing lawns and driving for Uber. This gives me the flexibility to schedule visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. I enjoy being active and outdoors, and I love incorporating pet care into my daily flow. At home, I have a nice fenced-in yard with an in-ground system that’s safe and comfortable for pets to enjoy. When I’m in your home, I always respect your pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel secure and cared for in their own space.
About: I have had dogs in the past but now have only cats that don’t like being outside, i love walking my friends dogs in the summer because i love being outside and i love dogs! I work full time but love walking outside and love furry friends!! I have 3 cats at home so i can’t have dogs at home but absolutely adore them and love taking my friends dogs for walks! I am a very safe and cautious driver and know many trails around the area to take your furry friends on walks not far from home!!
“I received a cuter pic of my dog sitting so pretty than I’ve ever been able to take. Sav was punctual and had good communication throughout. I know my dog is in good hands. Will book again!!”
About: Hi! My name is Mara, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and your home while you’re away. I have grown up with multiple dogs and have always loved being around animals. Over the years, I have also provided dog sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family members, caring for pets in their own homes, following their routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I will take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience providing more specialized care, including administering IV medication for an elderly animal I was watching. This experience taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attention to detail, and following care instructions carefully. My background working in childcare, summer camps, and other safety-focused roles has helped me become dependable, organized, and attentive. I will treat your pets like they are my own and your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently a full-time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I am happy to work with your pet’s routine to provide consistent and reliable care. I care for pets by keeping their routines consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow all care instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I treat each pet and home with the same respect I would want for my own. I am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.
About: I simply adore animals! I will provide loving, playful, patient, high quality care that will leave your fur babies begging for more! I am able to administer medications and general care as specified. I also offer nail/claw trims for dogs and cats for $20. Just check the bathing/grooming box. I prioritize play, so even drop ins will get plenty of entertainment! Supervised puzzle feeds, or playing with favorite toys, or whatever pops up in the moment. Pup-led play is usually the most fun! My schedule is fairly open most of the time, but I am going to be starting trade school to become a barefoot specialist for equines sometime in 2026. I need a flexible work schedule so I can trim my case study horses, and the horses I already trim for a friend. - REGARDING OVERNIGHT STAYS! My rates are for ONE 12 hr overnight visit. If you need me for consecutive nights with drop ins during the day, my rates increase to cover each drop in. Walks, nail trims, daily brushing are also an additional cost. These additional charges will be discounted, not my full rate. Let's discuss it 😃 My kitties and I enjoy a peaceful life out in the country. We're new to it, and it's not our house, so I am not currently offering boarding or doggy daycare. I am incredibly respectful of others' spaces. I follow the 'leave no trace' hiking guideline into clients' homes! I respect privacy and will never invite strangers in or take photos for any other reason than to update you, the owner.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, from puppies to the elderly. They’re all adorable! I have experience giving medication such as pills and ear drops. I love all dogs and will clean up a mess they’ve made even if it’s inconvenient. Baths are always a struggle for most dogs, but I think of it as a fun challenge! I’m always putting my all into caring for your pet! I’m currently attending college, so I will take care of your adorable dogs when I’m not at school or at work! I have class on Thursdays, and I work at my internship on Tuesdays and Fridays! I also work my part time job in the evenings Monday-Friday. My more flexible availability would be on Mondays, Wednesdays and weekends! But if you need me to help out on any day of the week we can talk and we can try to work it out! I have always had plenty of animals in the home growing up! I’ve taken care of puppies and older dogs, I love them all! I’m always willing to go the extra mile to make sure they get what they need. You just need to communicate what their needs are and I will do my best! Your dogs comfort and happiness is my top priority always! I have experience with cats as well! I rescued a kitten on the side of the road almost 2 years ago and now I have a love for cats! :) I have a younger cat and an older cat so I have experience with cleaning ears and giving meditation!

About: Certified veterinary nurse who loves all animals. Years of experience training my own dogs. I love to be in nature walking with man’s best friend I am a retired military veteran who is certified in veterinary care. I work a part time job and my availability is very flexible. Animals are my true passion. I have a fenced in yard and a 2 year old lab that loves to play. I’ve done drop in visits with family and friends for many years.
About: Hello there! I have been working in the pet industry for 6 years now and two years not in the industry. I have done everything from training to grooming. Currently living in Minneapolis, I have one larger dog named Gros tet (big head). He melts like butter and plays according to the animal visitors play type! When you book with me know your animals are in good hands, I will ask questions before the final book to make sure it is a good fit for you and for me. Communication is key in my eyes, and I love sending photo updates throughout the day! 2019 I left the active duty military, and my husband of 3 years is still active duty Marines. (So if you have an energetic pup that needs some run time we would be happy to accommodate!) when it comes to grooming, I operate my at home salon…well at home… could be good for some doggies and not so much for others. Ask away! I love giving recommendations to educate people about their pets:) Much love, The Legers At the moment I do not work but I go to online college! I’m typically home all day unless I need to step out for errands. We go to bed around 10-12pm and wake up around 7am everyday. Pretty relaxed. If you have a list I’ll gladly go through it. Every dog is different and with ever dog routines need to be adjusted. Since I already have a dog in home usually, visiting dogs like following him around, typically he is a very good trend setter! I will only do things I feel comfortable with, for example, if weather is bad and you would like a walk during the day, the animals safety comes first! We will try other games around the house! Or maybe even a training/mental stimulation session!

“I highly recommend Nathan & Laura! They and their daughters did an excellent job with my high energy dog. Their fenced yard was great for my dog to exercise. Will rebook when they are available.”
“Jai had a fantastic time with Peter and Barbara! Lots of walks and playtime with other pups. Sent a ton of pictures to keep us updated. Flexible and agreed for a last minute stay. Will repeat!”
“Would give 10/5 stars if i could!!!! I got lots of updates and photos and they're obviously really good with dogs. Bluto is usually super stressed when he comes home from being boarded but hes completely relaxed and obviously had a good time there. Will definitely try to rebook every time i go on a trip.”
“Christina is INCREDIBLE, I have a sensitive older Husky, and staying with Christina was like summer camp for him. She frequently send photos and videos and is very responsive and accommodating. 11/10 experience!”
“I had the absolute pleasure of having Heather take care of my dog, Opal, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Heather went above and beyond to make sure Opal felt comfortable and loved. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind and showed how well Opal was being cared for. Not only did she take Opal on multiple walks, but she also gave her a bath, leaving her looking and feeling fresh. The love and attention Opal received were beyond what I could have hoped for, and I will definitely be using Heather again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Jamie and Kyle were so wonderful and took such good care of my girl. They treated her like a total princess and made sure she didn’t miss us one bit for the time we were gone. Jamie sent tons of photos and communicated an update at least once a day so I always knew what my doggo was up to and made being away from her easier. I would absolutely have my doggo stay with her again!”
“Our dog loved his stay with Patty (especially the big backyard)! She was very prompt and helpful in communicating, and did an excellent job caring for our slightly anxious boy. She also accommodated our last-minute booking and was flexible with drop off and pick up.”

“Emily took wonderful care of our Stella while we were at an out state wedding. We were able to enjoy ourselves knowing Stella was well taken care. Emily did a great job of sending pictures thoroughout the weekend of Stella's happenings. I would highly recommend Emily. Her passion for animals, approachable personality, and flexibility made the experience a wonderful success!”
“Kylee and David are excellent pet sitters! I don't have to worry at all when our dog is with them. He gets to go on adventures and lots of walks. He comes home happy and sleepy! :)”
“Rachel and her family always go above and beyond to not only make sure that my pup is well taken care of, but sends many pictures and updates for our peace of mind! Many walks, hikes, time outside just hanging out with fellow dog friends, and plenty of pets and love were evident! Thank you again!!”
About: I have two chocolate labs at home. I have cared for these dogs for 8+ years, and I have also dog-sat plenty of my neighbors', community members', friends', and relatives’ dogs over the years. I love to adventure with my dogs, but I can accommodate whatever adventure means for each dog, based on ability and the owner's desire. Also, I have done training with my oldest dog, have experience giving medication upon the owner's instructions, and have sat with quite sick dogs (my attentiveness to needs in this department is high). Overall, excited to sit for you! And let me know if you have further questions for me! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pups! I’m available for watching on both weekends and weekdays when you need my help! I will have work throughout the week, but I can pick up times to watch as my schedule is flexible. I spend a lot of time with my dogs when they go outside, and I walk/run them every day. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I also have experience ensuring owners’ dogs receive their medications and the correct dosages. Overall, I can adjust to all your pup’s needs!
“Lisa made us and our boys us feel welcome and comfortable from the beginning. She sent us updates and pictures of them while we were away. She was easy to get ahold of and responded quickly. We would recommend her to anyone and would definitely have her look after our boys again.”
“Amber has been so wonderful and a lifesaver for my pooch and me. After fracturing my ankle, she came and picked up hanky for a few days while I was unable to properly take care of him. She brought him home when I was feeling better and now picking him up while I await surgery. I am so fortunate to have her and know my hanky boy is in good hands as I go through this. Thank you to her and her family for the help and support❤️”
“Casey took good care of our dog while we were away on vacation. This was his first time away from us for so long and I was a bit worried about how he would handle it. Casey took the time to send me pictures and videos each day to show how well he was handling the separation. Our dog was very happy for most of the time away from us, and I could tell that Casey took the time to take good care of our dog. He followed all of our instructions for care very well. I highly suggest his services and we'll be sharing his name with other local dog owners.”
“Very attentive and responsive. Sent pics of my pup all weekend and made sure I was updated with everything going on. Picking up and dropping off was a breeze! I’d highly recommend Kate :)”
“Shiloh did amazing with our golden doodle Jinx! She sent sweet update photos and jinx came back happy as ever. Her children gave our dog lots of love and her dog was very sweet and playful!”
