“From the moment we entered the location on our initial meet and greet before actual booking, I got the sense that Mercy would fit in and feel at home. That was absolutely true! I definitely plan on booking Holly again in the future. Holly provided a space where Mercy was able to be herself at that first meeting. She had a kennel available for her, but I doubt she even used it. They stated "if she wants to sleep on our bed, that's where she'll sleep!" That warmed my heart and made me feel incredibly comfortable leaving Mercy with her family. However, they were happy to honor my suggestion of kenneling Mercy if there was no one at home since that is what we provide for Mercy at home. I have no doubt Mercy will willingly and joyfully return to Holly again!”
“I cannot tell you how much we appreciate you and your family, Drew! We were so frazzled going into labor early and worried about what we’d do with Oliver. Knowing he was with you guys truly allowed us to focus fully on our daughter’s birth which meant so much to us. Oliver came home so happy (as always). We are so grateful for you. Thank you again!!”
“Ben and Jennifer were absolutely wonderful to work with! They took amazing care of our Poppy and sent regular updates with photos/videos. Drop and pick up was flexible and a breeze, I can’t recommend them enough! We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“We are beyond happy with Stevie’s stay. It felt like we were leaving her with family, not just boarding her at a strangers house. She was spoiled and loved on and it showed through the pictures that we got while away!”
“Dondee is wonderful! She’s so friendly and welcoming and wants the best for you and your pet. She was sending me pictures and videos throughout my girls stay and I loved it. Definitely will be using her services again :)”
“We had a great experience with Elizabeth! Our dog seemed relaxed and happy when we picked him up, and it was clear that he was very well cared for. Elizabeth was also very communicative and sent multiple updates throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Would definitely book again!”
“Margarita was very nice and knowledgeable about dogs. Our dog was only there a little over 24 hrs, but she sent pictures and made us feel quite comfortable with choosing her for dog care. Highly recommend her to others!”
“Michelle is amazing! She made sure our dog Rue had a fun and comfortable stay and was very responsive. Her kids were also very respectful of our dog and it sounds like she had lots of fun with them! Will definitely book with Michelle again!”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of my dog while I was away, and I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was throughout the stay. She sent daily updates, checked in about any concerns, and was very thoughtful when my dog didn’t want to eat the first day — which is normal for her in new environments. I also appreciated the time she took to have us come over beforehand so we could meet her and her dogs and make sure it was a good fit. She was responsive, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would absolutely recommend her to others.”
“Our pup came home totally exhausted after a few days with Em! Our Arlo can be a handful and we had absolutely no worries leaving him at Em’s place. The photos & updates were wonderful. Highly recommend – we will book again!”
“Katelynn was our first River experience and WOW- she went above and beyond to make our pups feel calm and welcome while we were gone. She had creative ways to help them stay entertained and soothed, walked them regularly, and sent lots of photos-which was amazing! I highly, highly recommend Katelynn, we are so grateful.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of karma. When ask how my dog was doing Victoria sent pictures also I was running late and she was understanding. Karma came home happy and tried so that's how I know she had fun.”
“Gigi's first visit with Andrea was great! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent me pictures. She took Gigi for a long walk and Gigi had fun interacting with her dogs. Definitely will go back.”
“I love having Jasmine watch my dog while I am out of town! This is the third time she has cared for my dog and I can tell my dog has a great time while we are away! Highly recommended Jasmine!!”
“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”
“Very friendly people who made my Pom feel comfortable and happy. Great to have a very accessible backyard fence to roam and play with their two dogs. Someone home all the time. Great communication and photos each day.”
“David was great to work with and we felt very comfortable leaving our pup in his hands. He consistently communicated with us providing updates which gave us peace of mind that Bo was in good company & care.”
“Ruby had a great time with this sweet family. Kyle was very responsive and sent lots of pictures for us to see while we were away. She came home seeming to have good energy, which tells me she was happy there. Thanks for caring for our fur baby! Hope we meet again!”

About: Hey there! My name is Julie and I would love to hang out with your pets! I received my vet tech degree in 2018, and have been working with animals for over 10 years. I just graduated with my BS in Fisheries and Wildlife, but am looking to still work with companion animals in some capacity. I would love to do drop-in visits, take your dog for a walk, or stay with your pup (or kitty) while you’re on vacation! As a former vet tech (and a dog mom of 3 seniors) I’m super comfortable with specials needs pets, senior pets, and giving various medications. Feel free to reach out and we can discuss anything specific! Currently in-between fish and wildlife internships (with the next one starting in February), so I have unlimited availability. My calendar/availability is up to date, so check it out! I treat all pets like they’re my own, so making sure they’re taken care of properly is paramount to me. I make sure all needs are met and that everyone is left happy.
“Angelina did a wonderful job checking in on my three cats while I was on vacation. She sent lots of photos and updated me on how my cats were doing while I was away, which took a lot of weight and stress off my shoulders. Thank you very much! Would happily request again for any drop-in needs.”
“Emma was very responsive and accomodated for all our needs. It was the first time we left our kitten and although we missed him a lot, we knew we could trust Emma and enjoyed our trip 😄”
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and have experience caring for family members’ cats while they were away. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, providing playtime and companionship, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I’m happy to adapt to their needs—whether they love attention and play or prefer a calmer, quieter approach. My goal is to give both you and your cat peace of mind while you’re apart.
About: Pheonix, my now 9 year old cat is the love of my life. I understand what a cat needs whether that be cuddles during a nap or treats during playtime! Their subtle yet obvious cues of affection is what sets cats apart from any other animal and I admire and appreciate them so much!
“Jade took great care of Luna and Casper Kitty while they boarded with her. Both cats were comfortable and well looked after the entire time. She communicated with me daily and sent photos, which was so reassuring. I felt very confident leaving them in her care and would happily book Jade again!”

“Katelynn made our first experience with Rover so easy. Leaving a new puppy with someone for the first time can be stressful but Katelynn sent us photos of our girl warming up and settling in. She has so much knowledge and experience with pets and things went so smooth we already have our next sitting scheduled.”
“Jennifer gave Roxie breakfast and dinner every day. I think my dog liked to play with kids and other dogs. They have a big yard, so she enjoyed in the yard. I think she had a good time there. I would like to use that dog care when we go to Rochester. Thank you very much!!”
“Rhea was so sweet & accommodating when our drop off time changed. Her communication was really wonderful- she kept me posted on how Luna was doing during her stay & responded quickly. Thanks so much!”
“Matt and Angela took great care of my dog Osi! Osi and their dog, Alfie, had so much fun together. Osi is definitely looking forward to his next play date. Highly recommend Matt and Angela!”
“Margarita has been a wonderful, flexible, accommodating, understanding, champion for me and Spike. He is having a good time there. When I get him he is always a happy puppy and I can tell he is well taken care of. He comes home and he likes to take naps afterward, poor puppy having so much fun with her dogs and her cute youn son. Nice open space for Spike to walk on leash and not worry about his safety. Definitely booking again (already have the reservations). It’s nice to know that my 11week puppy has a loving and caring place that takes care of him while I am at work.”
“Michelle was great! She helped me out with a last minute request. Arlo had a great time staying at her place. I would definitely recommend boarding with her! Thank you so much Michelle :)”
About: Relocated here from Iowa. Enjoy working with different dogs. Pet lover. I completed 6 months of Veterinarian Assistant classes online. Life happened and I had to take a pause. But I am thinking about going back and finish obtaining my associates degree in the field. So whether it be house sitting with the animals or simply doing some walking or activities, I don't mind and will enjoy my time with them. Its something I enjoy as one of my hobbies. I am available during the week days. Every other weekend I work night shift at this time. I enjoy play time with pets because they too have different personalities. Love Dogs. We cuddle mostly and play. Take walks outside. Play fetch with their toys. It's cool to go to the backyard and be socialable with nature. I think it helps with sensory awareness.
About: I have been caring for dogs for many years! Friends, family, neighbors, and in the clinic! Experience in medicating, grooming, walking, playing, and basic care! I am currently working from home with a very flexible schedule! Lots of time for walks, play time, hanging out, and so much attention and love! I have training for medical conditions. I am a very active, outdoor enjoying individual! Animal care is my passion! Safety and care are the most important!
About: -Small Pet Care As Well- I have extensive experience volunteering at animal shelters for years, along with personal pet care for individuals. I've cared for pets of various sizes, ages, and abilities, including administering medication as needed. I recognize the unique needs of each pet, and I provide the patience, attention, and care they require. My love for animals ensures I treat every pet as if they were my own. Feel free to message me to talk through your pet’s specific needs and how I can help. Caring for your pet fits naturally into my routine since I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for feedings, walks, or check-ins throughout the day. As a freelance graphic designer, I set my own hours, and I like filling that flexibility with time helping others and their pets. I’m always respectful of you and your pet’s boundaries, rules, and daily routines, ensuring their comfort. I have also worked as a house keeper, so I tidy up every chance I get.
“My dog and I had a great experience with Scott and Jennifer! I unexpectedly needed to travel to Rochester for the day from Minneapolis and Scott and Jennifer were extremely responsive and able to accommodate a last minute booking for my 13 week old puppy and sent me lots of videos and photos of their adventures throughout the day. Would definitely recommend and use again next time I am in the area!”
About: I have been around animals and dogs my whole life. I recently lost my 17 yr old baby girl and I miss the companionship but not quite ready for a new pup! I am responsible, attentive, and will make sure your baby gets top notch care! I work real close to home so I am able to pop by when I have a break and check in on the babies! I am usually home every night. I care for your babies just as I would mine.. animals are the bestest of friends and deserve the best of the best. Lots of love and attention will be given.
“Incredibly accommodating, as Mayo was not. David worked around our ever changing and opaque interactions with Mayo. The care was so attentive I am not sure our pooch was ready to leave. We have never boarded our (abused) rescue dog and David’s care made this part of our Rochester experience absolutely calming and care free. If I could give seven stars I would and I am sure our dog would agree. Job well done. Thank You”
“Absolutely fantastic! I was welcomed so warmly right away. I had no doubts about the care Winnie was going to receive. Sam sent so many pictures and the whole family was so kind! We will be repeat customers for sure!”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I take care of as well as a 14 year old cat that has a lot of special needs and accommodations. I also watch my neighbors pets when they go on vacations.

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have always had a special place in my heart for dogs. Growing up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and goats. From feeding and providing daily care to making sure each animal was safe, comfortable, and well cared for, animals have always been an important part of my life. I have also provided dog-sitting and pet care for family members and friends over the years. These experiences have taught me the importance of being dependable, attentive, and patient while caring for someone else’s pets. I am currently working as a nanny part time with days varying by week. I am available all weeknights after 4:30pm and most weekends Thursday-Sunday! I provide care in the owners’ homes, allowing pets to remain in a familiar environment with their usual routines, belongings, and comforts. I take safety seriously and will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, access to the home, and emergency contacts. I will also keep your home secure, provide regular updates, and treat your space and pets with respect.
“Lluvia has been wonderful, responds promptly to any inquiries, very knowledgeable and goes over and beyond. Highly recommend walker. I can't thank her enough for all she has done.”

I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My flexible job allows me gaps of time where I can tend to daily duties. I’m a college-aged student who is available to assist with your pets’ needs. My pets and those I take care of are treats really and with as much love and care as I can share. To keep things interesting, I will take my dog Rocko to new and fun locations for walks.

About: I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care tailored to every pet’s unique needs and personality, with walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of cuddles too. I work flexible full time job, giving me the time to provide attentive pet care. I’m available for weekends, weekdays after work, evenings, and scheduled walks or drop-ins. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and rest.
About: I have been around dogs and cats for many years, and some farm animals. I currently have two adult cats and one young dog. We live on 5.5 acres that are fenced-ish, but the yard is certainly not escape proof. My dog Scribble loves to play, especially with new dog buddies. He never gets tired. We have loop trails through meadow and woods all year round on the homestead but will also explore all of Dodge Center with pups on leash walks. I will also try obstacle courses and other games depending on what your dog is up for. I have yet to meet a cat I could not draw out at least a little. For dogs, we will have to try a temperament test with Scribble, who always wants to play more. I can offer boarding on weekends only because I am at my day job for long days Monday through Friday. I can offer pet drop in visits or dog walks in the evening year-round as long as your dog will share a walk with Scribble. A quick cat visit is easy any evening. Your pup's weekend will involve play sessions, games, leash walks and possibly unleashed walks and play, and exploring with exercise. Until I know your dog can be trusted off-leash and we explore the full property a few times, we will do leash walks only on our loop trails (about 20 minutes casual pace to walk them all). Our field is great for playing and offers lots of space to run around. There is always plenty to sniff and explore, with a trail around a pond, and many rabbits, squirrels, birds and deer about. Scribble never gets tired of exploring, and neither will your pet, even if we stay on leash. For cats, I can set up a private spare room and time to explore chaperoned. A private room will have a human bed, cat beds, catnip mats, and at least one climbing tower. Your cat will need to be okay with my guys hissing under the door initially and Scribble coming around to say hi with his tail wagging.
“Charity took great care of my dog while I was away! She sent daily updates and photos, and was always quick to respond to any messages. My pup was clearly happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Charity to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter and I would gladly leave my dog with her again!”
“Emma was great with communication and I felt comfortable leaving Avena in her care. Clearly Avena had a great day because she’s been napping on and off since I picked her up 😂 thank you, Emma, for taking care of my girl ☺️”
“Toni is amazing!! My 2 boys love going to her. They always come back home happy and tired, ready for naps. Toni’s love for animals is apparent, and she even bathed both of my pups before returning them. Flexible with pickup/drop off times. I will be using her again when needed!”
