“Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.”
“Cassandra was very accommodating, and communication was great while Lambo was in her family’s care. We received pictures and updates during his stay, and he came home happy. This was our second time using Cassandra & Eric and we will definitely reach out to them again.”
“William took care of our Mini Schnauzer for 11 days while we were at a national conference. He sent daily photos and words about our dog. This was a daily refresher for us knowing our dog was in good hands. Communicating with William was superb!”
“Wes was wonderful with our dog Zoey! Zoey is a senior dog and needs a bit of extra attention, and Wes and his family gave her just that! Received photos throughout her stay, would definitely recommend & use again in the future.”
“Our cat had a great time staying with Manami. Manami was patient with her feeding schedule and gave her lots of snuggles. We'll definitely ask her to sit again next time we're out of town.”
“Bobby had a great time with Nickolai and his family, and enjoyed their large backyard and playing with their resident dog. He was well taken care of and returned home tired out, couldn’t ask for more!”
“Daniela watched my 4 month old puppy and I couldn’t be happier! She was extremely responsive when we reached out to her and continued communication with us the whole time! I got updates throughout everyday with pictures and messages on how my pup was doing! Even sent us home with some more treats and a bone! Will definitely be coming back to her!”
“Abi was fantastic! Not only was she so sweet with my dog, Hudson, but she was just so helpful in the process. I felt like I didn’t need to worry about anything while I was traveling and she sent me regular updates and pictures and videos. Hudson has a great time and if definitely have Abi sit for him again.”
“We recently had the pleasure of entrusting the care of our two Yorkie rescues to Beth & Evan, an exceptional team of dog caregivers. Our Yorkie rescues have significant challenges due to their past experiences with anxiety, abandonment and physical and emotional trauma exposures, and even after year of building resilience and redirecting behavior, they continue to struggle with these issues. From our first interaction with Beth & Evan, it was evident they were experienced and attentive to their triggers that could cause stress by taking time to understand their unique challenges in personalities, approaching them with a calm and centered demeanor, and put the dogs at ease, as they are wary of new people in situations. Beth & Evan went above and beyond to make our dogs feel loved, comfortable, and safe, and we are incredibly grateful for their exceptional care. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking compassionate and effective pet caregivers.”
“Emily was so kind and sweet and took such good care of my dogs! Her and her pup Elliot were perfect hosts and made sure I got frequent updates. Both my dogs loved her! I would definitely use Emily again.”
“Everything worked great with this family. I know if my dog could talk she definitely agree with me. I will certainly have you on my list for next time. Thanks a lot.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kimberly & John! Great communication and we loved all the pictures of Oakley having fun while we were gone. He seemed to fit right in and was so well loved. We'll be booking again!”
“Wonderful! Our lab Walter had a blast and came home so happy and clean. We also appreciated how flexible Jessica was when we had to change our drop off date! Thanks for the great stay!”
“Archie had another great stay in Valerie’s home! We feel so confident when he is there and know that he is having a wonderful visit, receiving lots of attention and being well cared for. Thank you, Valerie and family!”
“Miranda cares for the dogs that she watches like they are her own and sent updates and check ins. Would absolutely recommend to those looking for a place for their pup where someone works from home so is able to provide care and attention throughout the day.”

“Alicja was great and was able to come over after a very last minute request! Took great care of my kitties, gave my diabetic cat insulin and even took out the garbage on the way out! Would definitely rebook and recommend to others! :)”
“Patricia has been great with both my cats. One needs insulin injections she handles those easily. The other one is very shy and even when Lucy is hiding under the bed she makes sure she gets some love.”
“Elizabeth did what was needed to care for my cat. She made sure my cat had fresh water, food, and cleaned the litter box. Above all else, she made sure my cat was well cared for before leaving. I will definitely be hiring her again.”
“Emma is great with cats and very friendly! She did an excellent job attending to the needs of my cats who needed separate meals. Her updates and pictures were so sweet and it’s clear that she loved animals!”
“Lindy and Seth have again done a fantastic job with our elderly cat - we are delighted with the timeliness and care and attention they have given him. We know from our garage cameras that they are there when we have asked them to be there and when they say they are there and we think they are diligent and fabulous pet sitters and highly recommend them.”
“Kristin sent pictures and updates when she checked in our cats. She did a great job and we definitely recommend if you need a sitter. Thank you again for checking in our cats!”
About: I don’t have cats any more, but I did have a special lady named Steenkie. I miss her so much and would love to have a sweet kitty in my life once more. While I train dogs I still hold a special place in my heart for cats. Steenkie (my cat) was the first commitment my husband and I made together (before we even got married) and though Steenk has passed the bond and love we shared as a family will never fade. I would love to care for your cats as I would my own. With love, compassion and of course a tiny little bit of mischief since my girl was a little devil 😂
“Ana helped us over Christmas and we couldn’t be more grateful. She was absolutely lovely to work with and was so kind to our cat. Took care of everything and we will hope to see her again soon!”
“Kate is our favorite!!!! Her check ins are always so detailed and our cats always look so happy in all of the pictures. We completely trust her with our fur babies and house while we’re away and feel at ease with her”
About: Savannah here! I have three dogs and an orange kitty. I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for senior dogs and pets that may need a little extra patience, attention, and love. I’ve also been around dog breeding for 10+ years, which has given me experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to provide care that fits their needs! My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to help your pup get fresh air, exercise, and a little adventure during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you're gone. You can book up to three drop-ins per day! Every pet is different, so I’m always happy to accommodate extra needs or customize visits to fit your pet’s routine. My availability is flexible, feel free to reach out with your preferred dates and times! • I always offer a (free) 10-minute meet-and-greet before any drop-in or walking service. This gives us a chance to meet, helps your pet get familiar with me, and lets us go over their routine and any other needs. Meet-and-greets are not required to book with me, they are simply available if you’d like a little extra comfort and peace of mind before our first visit!
“Stephanie was great! I can tell my pet was well cared for and I also came home to a house that was just as clean (if not cleaner) than when I left it. I will happily use her again!”
“Rola did a wonderful job checking in and caring for our cats while we were away. It didn’t take long for our cats to warm up to Rola and start showing their personalities. Highly recommend!”

About: While growing up around dogs and bigger animals, the first animal I had on my own was my sweet angel cat Oona! Instead of getting a kitten I ended up adopting a 12 year old special-needs cat who not only changed my life for the better but taught me so many things about the ups and downs that can come with taking care of animals. From around the clock medical care to taking 5 hour (mandatory) naps with that sweet girl, I now feel able to take care of any and all cats no matter the age or medical state! Since then I have always had cats and always will 💛
About: We have had dogs our entire lives, and currently have two adorable shih tzus. We have had Cuddle for 15 years and Peanut for 8. We would have five more dogs if we could. We have been fostering for Underdog Rescue for the past seven years and have experience with both little puppies and senior citizen pups. We have a house in the Minnetonka/Hopkins area and have a large fenced in backyard that your dog would enjoy! We always hate being away from our dogs, so we know how important their care is while you're away! I currently work from home, so I’ll be able to give your pups plenty of attention throughout the day with plenty of potty breaks and playtime in the backyard yard. We have a large, fenced-in backyard and currently have three small dogs, two senior Shih Tzus and a 1 year old Pekingese. We also foster dogs through Underdog Rescue, and two of our dogs are foster fails! 🐶

About: Looking for a trusted and loving caregiver to board your dog while you're away? Look no further! As a lifelong dog lover, I have always had furry companions by my side.

I have a large, unfenced yard where your dog can play and explore, always under close supervision while leashed.

“This was our first doggy care time with William. Our experience with Meet and Greet a few days and today's doggy care day care was very positive. William is easy going and accommodates well. Our dog Leo was excited to be with him this morning. I can see Leo doing this every time he goes to William's house. Definitely will send Leo to be with him in the future.”
“Dixie came home a happy dog. Nicole (with her dog Stella) gave our 1 year old puppy a safe and fun place to play and a comfortable place to rest. We couldn’t ask for more.”
“Sonja and Adam were both very nice and their dogs too. I received a cute video of my dog playing with one of their dog during the day. They always answered my message quickly. They took care of Lola very well.”
“All I can say is wow! Fantastic communication, so many photos, and made sure my dogs were doing well and let me know. Every single thing I could’ve asked for. Emily is amazing! Very thoughtful about dogs and dog interaction and checked with me on absolutely everything. She is great and earned both my and my pups trust”

About: Home full-time and just steps from miles of walking trails, your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship throughout the day. We currently have Loki, our friendly 5-year-old Golden Retriever, who loves other dogs, playing outside, and spending time with our two boys. Our boys absolutely love dogs and are gentle, affectionate, and excited to help make visiting dogs feel like part of the family. Boarding with us means your dog will be welcomed into a real home — not treated like just another booking. We only board one dog at a time, which allows us to give your dog plenty of attention, keep the environment calm, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. We do not have a fenced yard, but we have a large, wooded yard (.6 acres) where dogs can safely enjoy time outside on a lead. We also live right by a regional walking/biking trail, so frequent walks and outdoor time are easy and part of our routine. I am comfortable caring for all dogs, including senior dogs, rescue dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I have experience giving medications, crate training, leash walking, basic obedience, and helping dogs settle into a new environment. I am active and outdoorsy, so dogs who enjoy walks, playtime, and being part of family life will fit in well here. For everyone’s safety and comfort, visiting dogs must be potty trained, kid-friendly, and non-aggressive. They do not need to be crate trained. We are not currently accepting puppies. Our goal is simple: to give your dog a safe, loving, active place to stay where they get the kind of care we would want for our own dog. My husband and I both work from home on alternating schedules, so caring for dogs are part of our normal daily rhythm. We are available throughout the day for potty breaks, attention, feeding, walks, and check-ins. We live right on a regional trail, which makes daily walks easy, and we also spend time outside in our large yard with dogs safely on a lead. Pet care naturally fits into our family routine — walks, playtime, downtime, and lots of love. Your dog can expect a warm, active family home with plenty of attention, outdoor time, and affection. Because we only board one guest dog at a time, your dog will get personalized care, a calm environment, and lots of time with our friendly Golden Retriever, Loki. We want dogs to feel comfortable, safe, and included while you are away. We have a large yard, but it is not fenced, so visiting dogs are always kept safe on a lead when outside. Our home includes two dog-loving boys and our friendly Golden, so visiting dogs should be kid-friendly, potty trained, and comfortable around another dog. We can crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine, but crate training is not required. We are happy to follow your dog’s feeding, medication, walking, and sleep routines as closely as possible to help them feel secure.
“Sandy was able to petsit our dog Kori on short notice & I am very thankful that she was available. Kori was well-cared for and able to play with her dogs as well, overall a fun experience for him. Thank you!”
About: What sets me apart is my professional background as a Medical Assistant combined with my lifelong love for animals. Growing up alongside our family dog, Topacio, who has been with us for over 10 years, I have developed a deep understanding and gentle touch for senior dog care—knowing exactly how to keep older pets comfortable, safe, and happy. My medical training gives me an extra layer of responsibility, attention to detail, and a calm demeanor when looking after pets. I am well-versed in caring for dogs of all sizes and ages from friends and family, and I focus on providing a structured, loving home environment. I treat every furry guest with the same dedication and affection as if they were my own! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I have a flexible hybrid schedule, working some days from home doing patient video consultations and other days from the office. On my work-from-home days, I am there to provide constant companionship and potty breaks throughout the day. For the days I am at the office, my schedule is highly predictable and structured, making it ideal for pets that are comfortable with a standard workday routine. No matter my schedule for the day, my evenings and weekends are completely free and dedicated 100% to long walks, fun playtime, and plenty of love! Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I host pets in my home, I ensure a secure, escape-proof, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member can feel completely relaxed. Here is how I guarantee a safe stay: Structured Supervision: Thanks to my flexible hybrid schedule, I am home several days a week, and even on my office days, my routine is highly predictable. I closely monitor all interactions, ensuring feeding and playtimes are always safe and managed. Introduction & Meet-and-Greets: I always schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand. This ensures your pet feels comfortable in my home and is a great match for our sweet senior dog, Topacio. Tailored Routines & Care: With my background as a Medical Assistant, I am extremely detail-oriented. I strictly follow your specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, and any special medication requirements to keep their days consistent. Daily Updates: I love sending frequent photos and updates so you can have total peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving lots of love.
“Nickolai was very responsive & communicative. I was able to book last minute with him -for the next day! My pup was greeted with a treat which was a great sign! I also received photos throughout his stay which certainly gave me peace of mind. Bruno came home tuckered out and ready to chill, which is great because mom is ready to chill too after a long day of work. He will certainly be back if I am working in the area again! 😊”
“Our dog always leaves happy from her stays with Jeremiah and his family which gives us great peace of mind. He has been so flexible and has had great communication with us on the many days we’ve had our Husky stay for doggy day-care. I highly recommend Jeremiah!”

About: Hi! I’m Steph — a full-time pet caregiver through Rover and the heart behind a growing pet photography business. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13 and have experience with all kinds of animals, from high-energy pups to quiet companions. I share my life with my dog Scooby, who’s a big lovebug and gets along great with both people and other animals, and two leopard geckos, Helios and Haku, who each have their own little quirks and charm. Over the years, I’ve worked closely with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also have hands-on experience with pet nutrition and wellness—I've worked with a variety of healthy foods, natural supplements, and holistic care routines. I’m great at picking up on subtle signs when something’s off and take pet health seriously. Whether we’re playing fetch, going for a walk, or just snuggling on the couch, I’m all about creating a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared for. I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I always follow your instructions to a T—because your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s happiness. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, understood, and completely at ease while you’re away. I am very flexible with my schedule so please feel free to send me a request or a direct message to sent up an appointment! I have worked with certified fear free trainers as well as being a groomer for 3 years now I am very aware of animal body language and how to meet their needs so they feel safe in their environment. I do have a dachshund mix named Scooby that is incredibly friendly with Small to XL dogs. She’s always up for having a play date!
About: Hi! I’m Isabelle, and if there’s an animal in the room, chances are you’ll find me hanging out with it. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all kinds. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or your cat prefers a quiet companion and some extra treats, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I know every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and spoil them with lots of love and attention! I have a very flexible schedule and am able to accommodate a wide range of days and times, including weekdays, weekends, and last minute requests when needed.

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.
“Kayla was a life saver for me this past week! I typically work from home but was traveling for work - so Kayla came over during the workdays to take Barley for a walk. She was flexible, responsive, and loving towards my two-year-old golden. She even offered to bring Barley a raincoat when it was raining one day the days! I will definitely be using Kayla again on my next work trip!”
“AJ was wonderful with Leia! She was so kind and caring, and when Leia got tired during their walk, AJ went above and beyond by carrying her part of the way home. We really appreciate her taking the extra time and effort to make sure Leia was comfortable and got home safely. It’s clear that AJ genuinely cares about the dogs she’s walking. We would absolutely recommend her and would happily have her walk Leia again!”
About: I've lived on a homestead taking care of farm animals including dogs, cats, goats, horses, chickens, and much more! My parents bred and trained AKC Labradors and Beagles for wild game hunting. I became a farm hand for a local barn in New Hampshire at the age of 14. Once I was 16 I started overnight caretaking for horses, dogs, and cats. I have experience training puppies and rescue dogs with my parents. I also own amphibians and non conventional pets so I'm familiar with exotic caretaking. I'm currently dog sitting/walking/feedings fulltime. I'll have plenty of time during the day to play with your pets and take them outside for potty breaks. I live in apartment that does not allow cats or dogs so any pet sitting will have to be done at your home. I have my own private insurance alongside Rover Garantee. I will need a full tour of your yard if it's fenced, to make sure there aren't any means of escaping. A full detailed care sheet that includes the pet's schedule, behavioral concerns (a must), vitamins or medications schedule, prefered place to walk or run (typical place you go to help understand your pet's public behavior and help form trust with them. I will always learn your pet's behavior in a controlled and comfortable environment first. Then if you approve, we can eventually go on hikes. The more detail I have about your pet, the better their transition will be in my care. Trust and Safety is my top priority when caring for a family member that can't speak.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 12+ years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve raised and cared for a Border Collie mix, Boxer, Pug, and Min Pin—so I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy dogs to smaller companions. I’m experienced with walking, feeding, administering medication, and making sure pets get the exercise and attention they need, including outings to dog parks. I’ve also been involved in training, so I understand the importance of consistency and positive reinforcement. Your pet will be treated like family—safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or check-ins. I’m available most evenings as well, depending on my kids’ activities, and I plan my schedule to make sure each pet receives reliable and attentive care. I offer loving, reliable care both in my home and yours. I live in a two-bedroom place near Dean Parkway, just minutes from Lake Bde Maka Ska—perfect for walks, fresh air, and dog park visits. I’m active, so your pup will get great exercise, but there’s also plenty of comfy space for downtime and cuddles. My two kids are also gentle and loving with all pets, adding to the warm, welcoming environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs to make sure your pet feels right at home.
About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, and other reptiles.

I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

I am excited to meet your fur baby and take that special time to understand what makes them feel safe and happy.

I focus on what you need taken care of while keeping your dog(s) happy and in their routine while you are away. You can leave feeling comfortable that your dog(s) and home will be lovingly cared for. (I’m sorry I cannot take care of cats or rabbits due to allergies, but I’ve looked after hamsters and chickens!) I am also a part-time elementary school teacher in the Deephaven/Wayzata/ Minnetonka area. I am typically available Thursday evening - Sunday and available after 3:00 pm, Monday - Thursday. My focus will be on your dog(s) needs and routine, and keeping them safe and happy in your home. I'm sorry I'm currently not able to care for your pets in my shared rental home.
About: Hi. My name is Carrie. I love all kind of animals. I have 2 cats right now. I used to have a hampster. I grew up having rodents. I never owned a dog but i sure love them. I used to live with a couple of dogs in thr past but they wasn't mine. I used help take the dogs for walks though and fed them as if they was my own dogs. I love walking them. I love playing with them. Like balls, freezbie. I live in a apartment building and am only allowed to have to pets that live me anyways. I can however babysit as many as pets like other cats or even dogs as i want. There is no rule on that. I just love animals all together. So feel free to message me if you are interested P.S. Just so you know I can't drive but I take metro mobility. I hope that is not a problem. Also, I have found out that i can't have anymore animals that aren't mine so I would have to travel to the Guest's house to watch their pets. I hope that is fine with everyone. I love cats and offer cat sitting as well as dog sitting! I’m happy to stay at your house or visit your kitty while you’re away.

“Cassandra was very accommodating, and communication was great while Lambo was in her family’s care. We received pictures and updates during his stay, and he came home happy. This was our second time using Cassandra & Eric and we will definitely reach out to them again.”
“William took care of our Mini Schnauzer for 11 days while we were at a national conference. He sent daily photos and words about our dog. This was a daily refresher for us knowing our dog was in good hands. Communicating with William was superb!”
“Bobby had a great time with Nickolai and his family, and enjoyed their large backyard and playing with their resident dog. He was well taken care of and returned home tired out, couldn’t ask for more!”
“Abi was fantastic! Not only was she so sweet with my dog, Hudson, but she was just so helpful in the process. I felt like I didn’t need to worry about anything while I was traveling and she sent me regular updates and pictures and videos. Hudson has a great time and if definitely have Abi sit for him again.”
“We recently had the pleasure of entrusting the care of our two Yorkie rescues to Beth & Evan, an exceptional team of dog caregivers. Our Yorkie rescues have significant challenges due to their past experiences with anxiety, abandonment and physical and emotional trauma exposures, and even after year of building resilience and redirecting behavior, they continue to struggle with these issues. From our first interaction with Beth & Evan, it was evident they were experienced and attentive to their triggers that could cause stress by taking time to understand their unique challenges in personalities, approaching them with a calm and centered demeanor, and put the dogs at ease, as they are wary of new people in situations. Beth & Evan went above and beyond to make our dogs feel loved, comfortable, and safe, and we are incredibly grateful for their exceptional care. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking compassionate and effective pet caregivers.”

“Marina took good care of our pets and we could tell that she is definitely a dog person. We saw that both dogs were enjoying their cuddles in the picture we received. We are rarely separated from them, so it was nice to have no worries. Marina’s home is lovely and well equipped with pet toys and a feeding station. We noticed the surrounding grounds were nice for walking the dogs. We will rebook should the need arise.”
“Taylor took great care of my two large dogs for a week. One of them can be a bit difficult with feedings, and Taylor handled it like a pro. She provided frequent updates and pictures of my dogs. I will definitely hire her to board my dogs again.”
“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”
