About: Hi there! My name is Savannah, and I recently moved to the area! I grew up around dogs/cats of all kinds my whole life and have previous experience with dog sitting for friends while they were away on trips. I’ve also volunteered at my local animal shelter, where I spent time caring for and walking both dogs and cats. You don’t need to worry about traveling, as I have my own vehicle to travel. Because I work part time at a clinic, I’m available only afternoons and nights during the week. However, I'm available all day during the weekends. If you need a sitter, I would be unavailable to take them to my own house, but can stop in/stay at your place. Caring for an pet greatly depends on the pet themselves and the owner's desires. I love to play and be active with the animals if allowed. If a pet is older and doesn't like to be active for long, I enjoy just spending the quality time so they aren't lonely while their owner is away. I also always check in with the client about their pet's basic needs, such as how much they are fed and how often, how often they are let out, if there is any needs for any disabilities, etc.

About: I have always had a love for animals and enjoy caring for cats and getting to know their unique personalities. I understand that every cat has different needs, routines, and comfort levels. I’m patient, gentle, responsible, and attentive, and I enjoy providing companionship, playtime, affection, and a calm environment. I know that some cats are social and playful while others need more space and time to warm up. I will respect each cat’s personality and care for them as if they were my own.
About: I have had a lot of pets currently I have two cats and a snake. In the past I have lived in households with dogs who have been left in my care for extended periods of time. I also have some experience with dog training. I do currently have a full-time job, however I work afternoons/nights so I am available before work as well as my days off, I have a set schedule so I am always available the same days. I have never lived in a house without any pets, so I am very confident reading body language to make sure animals are comfortable with me

About: I am a Retired Veterinary Technician. I have owned cats for 30 years. I can care for those with special needs. I have a large fenced in yard for those that like a bit of outdoor time. I have spacious rooms with large windows if that's what your kitty prefers. A clean and safe environment with lots of attention. I have been trusted to enter my neighbors' homes and care for their furry family members. Whether daily or while you take a much needed vacation.
“Emily was so incredible watching my 3 cats. My cats are a little high maintenance with prescription foods and feeding separately, but she handled it perfectly. She was so responsive and the line of communication was always open. I also will add that I’ve used Rover MANY times and she sent the best photos I’ve ever received back. It was so nice to have her watching and caring for my babies. Plus when I got home from the visit my place was clean and better than I had left it. Emily is wonderful and I will for sure be using her again. 10/10.”

About: Hi! I’m Danielle, and I’d love to care for your cat while you’re away. I’m a millennial, born and raised in Florida, but I’ve lived in Minnesota for a decade. I’m a devoted cat owner to my sweet boy, Maverick, for over 10 years. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to take care of your kitty. I am very gentle, kind, and great with cats of all breeds! I provide calm and attentive care while following your instructions closely. During each visit I’ll provide fresh food, water, clean the litter box, offer playtime, and companionship.

About: I grew up with cats and currently still have my own. I have experience with all types of personalities. I understand that some cats would rather be left alone, while others would prefer to cuddle. I have administered oral medications and am comfortable doing so if needed.

“As soon as we pulled onto their street, my dog started to squeal in excitement! This was his second stay here. It's really convenient to drop him off here while we get some runs in at Afton Alps. He was happy and tired at the end of the day.”

About: I love dogs and would love to watch or walk yours!! I've watched many dogs in my life of neighbors or friends. I've done drop-ins and dog walk for several years now. I currently have 2 dogs!! I'm pretty flexible, let me know what your needs are and I can most likely fit them in!! Most mornings and afternoons I'm free, evenings are a little busier. I'm willing to drive to your house to walk your dog. Also, if you are gone on vacation or work during the day I can come drop in a few times a day and play/fed/walk your pup!
“Jax's first stay with Leanna went great! She took lots of pictures of his stay and even sent us home with a gift - she made us an absolutely adorable ornament with Jax's paw print! I would definitely choose her again to care for our baby!”

“Jess was wonderful, very easy to work with and very responsive to messages! Marley seemed to have a great time and we loved getting picture updates throughout her stay!! I would highly recommend Jess and would book her again!”

“Elizabeth was fantastic with our boy - we really appreciated her reassurance and check ins. She let us know he was doing great. Would definitely use Elizabeth again next time we visit Minneapolis!”

“First time at doggy daycare for our 7 yr old Chi mix - both he and our puppy were well cared for and arrived home this evening tired snd happy. Knowing they were safe made our time away worry free! Thank you Stacy for a great experience.”

“We had such a great experience with Giovana! She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages. It was clear that Kit was well cared for and loved — Giovana truly treated her like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for her kindness and attention, and we’ll definitely be using her services again!”

“Snow had a good time over at their place, I was going to be busy with work for the whole day and I found them available the day before. They sent pictures of her during her stay as well. Overall, Snow's satisfied so I am too.”

About: We live in a large two story townhouse that provides lots of indoor play space. We live in a townhouse community that has a large common area in the front and back. We also have a deck that your pet can lounge on. We live near lots of walking paths and a dog park. We also live near the edge of town and close walking distance to the river. My husband and I have five children who love pets of all kinds and are full of energy. I work a full time seasonal job so I will have more flexibility come the winter months. Our weekends are generally free. During the week is a bit hectic with having five kids in school with various activities. We have an unfenced yard but live close to dog parks. We have plenty of room in our home to give your pet a safe/quiet space if needed.

“This was our first experience using Lynn to provide an afternoon of daycare for our two, 1-1/2 yr old labs Maggie and Willow. Lynn met with us for a visit before we booked this daycare service and we found Lynn to be very knowledgeable, confident, cheerful and pleasant to work with. She did a great job answering all of questions and gave us the time we needed to ask them. On the day of daycare she took extra care in introducing our pups to the other dogs since Maggie can be very timid and a bit insecure. Everything went really well and by all indications Maggie and Willow had a great time. We will certainly book future stays with Lynn.”

About: I have 4 pets of my own. I have also worked at an animal shelter for 2 years. I'm available for kittens, overnights and extended stays. Daycare, overnight and extended stay for dogs. Drop in visits for adult and elderly cats. I'm hoping to switch my main focus to helping pet parents. With 4 of my own loves, pet care is literally my daily routine. I will bring the dogs on walks, sit out with them to play in the yard. We have lots of toys and interactive food games.
“Brittni took good care of Zadie for the day she was there. There was an incident with another dog, and she made sure to communicate right away and went through the proper channels to make sure everything was documented. Her and her husband took good care of zadie before and after the incident to help her feel safe and calm.”

About: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I walk, run and play with them. I treat every pet like a friend, offering comfort, attention and emotional connection. I bathe my dog about every other month. We have a routine in the morning with a walk before breakfast. Sometimes a walk around lunch time and another one after work is done. He is well loved and treated like a family member. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am in my office 3 half days and full time at home the other 2 days. I could stop at someone’s place on my way home to spend time with a dog and walk them. I can also stop over after work and later in the evening. In my home I have a fenced in yard that my dog can run free and play. If I am in a clients home I would make sure that there is nothing that the dog/puppy could get into after spending time with them/walking them.
“Maxie was having separation anxiety and Brittany was totally understanding of that. Once we work with Maxie to get her use to others outside of our family I would absolutely book with Brittany again”

About: My family and I have always had pets and we love them dearly! Pets bring such joy into a home and we would love for your pet to join our family for a visit. I work from home and my husband is home multiple days per week so there is always someone to play and cuddle your pets! We have an energetic 5 year old who loves animals and is very respectful of their space! We have a large fully fenced in back yard so lots of room to run and play. There are two adults, a 5 year old and a 3 month old in the house so many opportunities for snuggles and play! We lost our dog last year to old age and my son would love to have some pets visit to play! Animals are allowed on the furniture but we will respect the rules you have in place for your pet while they are home.

“Mike is the most amazing dog sitter ever he takes such good care of all the dogs in his care. My Finn is very shy and has medical needs and Mike has been just the best about helping with everything so thankful we found him. Finn loves comimg to see his friend Mike.”

“Caleb is a wonderful care taker for pups! He took time to understand our dog, and sent updates. Our pup takes time to build trust as a rescue stray, and he let Caleb touch him on day 1. Highly recommend!”

Yascha has been very responsive and has been accommodating to all requests (harness type, protective dog clothing in inclimate weather, wiping dogs feet etc). Would definitely recommend Yascha!”
