“Alexander cared for my dog exceptionally well. I received photos and videos during the stay and it looked like my dog was having lots of fun. I highly recommend Alexander and will rebook with him for future stays!”

“Jenna was awesome! She was super easy to communicate with, very responsive, and took great care of our mini poodle for two full weeks. She even trimmed the hair around our pups eyes to see better! We highly recommend her as a sitter for your fur baby!”

“Dylan does a fabulous job caring for our little shihtzu. He is very responsive and informed. Our little dog loves to go to their home. I have no worries while we are away! Thank you, again!”

“Nicole & Derek were great, very welcoming and friendly, and loved that our boys🐶🐶could sense the same. Thor & Titan were very comfortable from the moment we walked in, and their little Winston🐶was a perfect playmate. The updates and photos were comforting, and letting both sleep with them on the bed spoke volumes. We don’t take lightly who we entrust our fur babies with, and these guys will definitely be our first call when needed. Thanks again for the exceptional care! 5-stars all day long!!!!!😎✌🏻”

“Theo has so much fun with Karen and her family! It is so wonderful to have such a trustworthy, kind, and responsive person to watch my pup when I have to go out of town. 10/10 recommend booking with Karen!”

“Tricia did a great job with our sweet boys! She updated us, sent us photos, and took great care of them while we were gone. One of our dogs is very shy, but he even warmed up to her!”
“Jennifer was amazing!!! She took such precious care of our Mayo buddy! She responded so quickly, allowed for last minute booking, and sent updates the entire time! Mayo loved playing with the Corgis! He never gets to play with dogs his size so he loved that! They had lots of sunshine and outdoor time! We will use Jennifer again!”

“Abby and her family are phenomenal people. I would highly recommend her service for any of your pets. She took care of our lab Chloe over a weekend and sent us updated photos and texted throughout the weekend about what she was doing. Thanks Abby!!!”

“Dessirae is the best! This was our dogs' first stay with her, and it was great! The dogs loved her and her home. The dogs were not entirely sure that they wanted to return home with me, when I showed up to retrieve them today. I only hope that they were well behaved, as we hope that they will have future stays with her.”

“Marissa is absolutely AMAZING! She took on our babies an hour after requesting when we were left in a bind. Her house is beautiful and immaculately clean. They have multiple methods of safety for those considered a flight risk and worried mom's such as myself! Excellent communication and lightning fast responses with picture and video updates! Marrisa and her parents have taken excellent care of my babies and put my mind to ease.. my girls warmed up to her so much we booked another stay! I won't ever hesitate to use her when we come back to visit! Thanks Marissa!”

“Elizabeth was wonderful and very accommodating! If we ever are in Red Wing and need boarding we will definitely call Elizabeth! She is a great communicator and sent pictures of our Buster and Teddy!!”

“Awesome communications and amazing pics of our 2 pups. Such a relief knowing our babies were safe and happy. Highly recommend and definitely use again and again. Thank you so much!!!”


“Tonya made our pup feel so loved with plenty of cuddles and walks! Willow felt comfortable right away. She sent us a couple photos and messages each day so we knew how she was doing!”

“So glad she was able to take our dog for the day on short notice. Milo had a great time playing with Alisha's dog and enjoyed the affection from her and her family. We definitely be contacting her again.”

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life growing up. I currently have one dog, Ruby, who is 2 years old and a cat, Henry, who is 6 months old. I also have two children (ages 5 and 9) who love pets and helping out. My goal is to provide not just reliable care, but peace of mind—so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort so I can respond quickly to anything they may need. I also believe communication is key. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Cassondra was awesome with our dogs! She did everything to make sure our dogs were taken care of and she even gave them a bath! She sent picture updates during the stay as well. We will definitely contact Cassondra again in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and genuinely love caring for them like they’re part of the family. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages and temperaments. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions and medications. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins to give you peace of mind. We both work full time in the office. We leave our dog home alone to roam the house Monday - Friday from 8:00 to 12:00 and 1:00 to 5:00 with a mid day lunch and potty break. We have a 2-year-old 75 lb Pyredoodle who LOVES to play and wrestle, so your dog will have a built-in buddy. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe playtime and exercise. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and beds. Our home is smoke-free and kid-free.

“Alex was great! He handled our high energy dog very well. Millie was a happy girl when we got home! He followed our instructions and I felt very comfortable that Millie would be well taken care of on the drop in visit. Would definitely recommend Alex!”

About: Hi there! My name is Michelle and Ive been a pet owner since I was a child. My family always had dogs, cats, pocket pets, and the occasional tarantula. Im the niece of a large animal veterinarian whose clinic I volunteered at after school and summers. Currently my husband and I are owned by a Labrador Retriever and an English Setter. We are active with a national English Setter rescue, which is where our beautiful boy came from, and run volunteer transports of dogs on their way to foster or forever homes. Im semi-retired! My routine is whatever it needs to be from day to day. Im a firm believer in being flexible to meet the situation's needs. Your pets would never be alone. We also have 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company and walks, along with outdoor play would help with mental stimulation.

“Madysen was great! She cared for our elder cat who needs medication daily. She sent us updates and photos daily and made us feel much more comfortable leaving our baby home alone.”


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.

“Shylina was VERY accommodating when we changed the time for Theo’s visits. She is very detailed in her report about him and his activities. We found a really good sitter in Shylina and highly recommend her.”

About: I pet sit my friends & family's pet whenever they need someone to take care of their fur babies! I love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. I am free to help most days after 3 PM or on the weekends for the full day I’m looking forward to meeting your fur babies. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a secure, loving, and stress-free environment where your furry friend can feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they receive the love, care, and attention they deserve. You can trust that your pet will be in great hands with me!

About: I’m a new cat mom. I usually always just had dogs, but I couldn’t say NO to my two kitties. Mama Kiki was found pregnant in a dumpster behind a restaurant!!!!! I had to bring her home and keep one of her babies. They are so sweet and crazy rascals. I have no problems taking care of older cats and kitties.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and have love for all animals. I have also worked with rescue groups and almost all of my pets have come from rescue situations. I am currently working part time and therefore have plenty of time to care for your pets. I have grown up with animals my entire life. At this time I am not offering sitting at our home as we are having work done to our home but hope to in the near future

“Karen and her family are absolutely wonderful! She gives us such piece of mind with her knowledge and experience with dogs. I’m an anxious dog mom and I have never once questioned the high quality of care she provides. Wonderful as always - she is our top choice of sitter!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life. I have a cat and have had several different dogs. I even fostered dogs for a summer. I'm now divorced and have my kids half the time. My work is flexible and I can add in dog care as needed throughout the day. I homeschool my boys when I have them and work delivery jobs when I don't. My work is very flexible so I can make time for per care any time. I live in town with a small yard. It works best to come to your home as it's most familiar for the animal. My home is a good size but has close neighbors. You can find my personal pet sitting page called Jessica's Pet Sitting on Facebook.
“Highly recommend Mike—he was incredibly easy to work with, highly responsive, and flexible. He offered up a meet/greet in advance which was incredibly helpful. My pup Taco was comfortable with him right away—he is definitely a dog lover!”

“Marissa is great with my puppy who has separation anxiety. My puppy warmed up to her on the very first visit which is unheard of and now she looks forward to every visit! I know she is in great care with Marissa :)”

“This was my first time having to get my boys a sitter, but I was really glad to have found Michelle! They were immediately comfortable upon arrival and pick up and drop off were very easy. It was such wonderful being able to not have to stress about they’re comfort and safety while I was away. Thank you Michelle!”

“Jessica and Jacob were very kind and accommodating! I appreciated Jessica's prompt response time and her knowledgeability about dogs! Taji is lookin' forward to his next stay with this lovely family! :)”

“We needed doggy day care on short notice while we attended a wedding in the area. Samantha was really helpful and friendly. She took great care of Gigi and sent us a fun picture too!”

“We are traveling and our William was desperately in need for some canine fun, and he found it @ John & Rochelle's place. He was very happy and tired everyday. I could not be happier. Will definitely keep them in mind if we come back through Hudson.”

About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.
“Michelle was amazing! My babies were so happy and had so much fun. She sent pics and videos and updates regularly, and the dogs warmed up to her well (and they’re picky!). I highly recommend Michelle!!!”

About: I’ve fostered dogs since I was in fourth grade, sometimes multiple at a time. Varying in size and age, sometimes cats as well as dogs. I am currently a junior at UWL and work an on campus job. I am going to school full time and my job does block off some of my time but I am willing to work my schedule around the fur babies. I live in the dorms so I will not be able to take the dogs into my home but I can easily take care of them in your home and easily crate if necessary. They will be provided with plenty of love and attention.
About: I have never not had a dog…or multiple!😊 I’ve grown up with Labrador Retrievers. With that being said, I can handle the chewing, the energy, the hours of stimulation, and the endless snuggles! I have raised multiple puppies into adulthood, with two currently being my own! From potty training to tricks, to walking on a leash, I have done it all! I also have had family dogs that’s we have had until 12-14 years old that have required special needs due to age.

Weather permitting, we are outside 95% of the time. My dogs are always enjoying the sun on our large deck that overlooks our woods, outside running in the woods, or playing fetch in the yard. We have 2 young and friendly labradors who love to play and meet new friends! We own 2 acres, half of it being woods with trails! This would be for the guests who have a great recall or have halo collars😊 For the ones who struggle a little more with recall, we have a 3 car garage with a doggy door to go in and out of a fenced in area (in pictures)! Also a large deck to catch some rays on, as well as plenty and plenty of walks! I want your pup(s) to feel as comfortable as possible and never want to leave😊 I am extremely flexible and want to stick to their routine as much as possible!

About: I have lived with dogs since childhood. I have had several dogs of my own, currently I have two Border Collies, one is a tripod. I am currently not working so I am available 7 days a week. I expect that will change and I will update my schedule then. I offer safety and trust to you and your animals. I am available to let them out, take them for walks, give meds, snuggles and playtime up to 3 times per day.

About: Hi there! I’m Destiny & have owned an array of furry friends over the years. I have never NOT had a pup and have owned many different breeds. Currently I own cattle dogs- an Aussie named Marley and Heeler/Collie mix named Sadie. They are 4, I trained them myself & they are extremely well behaved and socialized. I offer boarding, day care, dog walking, and can bathe your pup before returning them home to you. I can also pick up and drop off when needed. I can also house sit and pup sit if that is your need/comfortability as well. I am up for & encourage meet & greets before bookings if you would like to meet myself, the pups and/or see the house and our setup before hand! I work during the normal school year as a nursing instructor. I am off during the summer and am home FULL TIME to dedicate ALL of my time & attention to the fur babies! I promise your baby will be tuckered out, loved on and well fed (to your instructions of course!) Boarding at my home: safety is my top priority with animal to animal interaction and human to animal interaction. If pups need more alone time/privacy, they can be housed separately from my dogs at all times as we have multiple access points from our home to our fenced in yard and gate sectioning in our house. I do walks daily with them and am outside with them as well for the majority of the day. Our fenced in yard has a dog pool and I have BUCKETS of toys for them to play with! If your pup leans toward the spicier side & is more protective when it comes to their toys, food, or water please let me know and separation accommodations can be made, no problem. All breeds are different and each pup is different. I can also give medications topically, orally, injections etc. I can provide hourly updates through text, video call, phone calls, whatever you would like! At minimum I send a daily update. In your home: as a nurse, safety is always my top priority. I am also extremely clean and organized. I can maintain your daily routine with your pup so they don’t miss much while you are away. Again, meet and greets I encourage so you and especially your pup are comfortable meeting me and being in your home. I’ll be their make-shift auntie while you are away! Whatever update/care you want them to have, you got it- even FaceTime dates so you don’t have to miss them much.

About: I’m a passionate dog lover who’s spent years providing exceptional care to dogs of all breeds and ages. My journey began long before my beloved heart dog, whose companionship deepened my commitment to love, patience, and understanding in caring for furry companions. I believe every dog is unique and deserves to feel safe, cherished, and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart - Heartfelt commitment: My genuine love for dogs drives me to create a nurturing environment where each pet feels at home. I respect the emotional bond between pets and their owners and work to maintain the pet’s comfort in the owner’s absence. - Puppy expertise: I use positive reinforcement to support good behavior, healthy socialization, and plenty of playtime for puppies. - Senior dog care: I provide compassionate, specialized care for senior dogs, from gentle exercise routines to medication administration, ensuring their comfort and wellbeing. - Personalized attention: I learn each dog’s personality, preferences, and routine so I can tailor care—whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles—to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free. With a heartfelt approach and commitment to excellence, I guarantee your furry family member will receive the love, attention, safety, and care they deserve while you’re away. As a self-employed entrepreneur, I have the flexibility to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. This allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to your furry family during their stay. Whether it's providing companionship, engaging in playtime, or adhering to their feeding and exercise schedules, I ensure that your pet receives the care and love they need. My adaptable schedule means your pet will never feel alone, and I can provide consistent support and companionship throughout their time with me. In my home, your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a secure, fenced yard where they can play and explore freely. My space is designed to accommodate your furry friend with plenty of room to relax. If you prefer, I can crate your dog for added security, or we can allow them to roam comfortably without a crate during their stay. Rest assured, your pet will feel safe and at home in my care.
About: I have taken care of kittens, puppies, dogs. I have also trained my dog when I was younger when she was a puppy. I’m just here to help. If there’s anything I can do please let me know. I’d love to be a part of making sure your vacation or your day is less stressful I am in school and also I will be working from home. Going to the office a couple times a week so I am very flexible. I will ask to understand your needs wants and values period if there are certain things that you need accommodations, for I would love to understand them so that we can have a very clear understanding so that you can enjoy your time away from your pets as best as possible.
About: I’ve been caring for my current dog for 5 years, previously I had a pup that I cared for 2 years. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk their pups, keep them fed on schedule. Those early experiences taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me, and that long‑standing trust from the people around me is something I’m really proud of. I am also a huge fan of training pets, though im not certified to do so as yet. This is currently my full time job at the moment as I transition in the workforce. That means more time for your pet, more time for play and fun or just naps. My space is clean, pet‑friendly, and thoughtfully arranged to keep every pet safe and comfortable. I’ve created a home environment where pets can feel relaxed, stimulated, and genuinely cared for. My neighborhood has beautiful, safe trails just a short walk away, so dogs get plenty of outdoor time, fresh air, and enriching adventures suited to their energy level. Inside, I’ve set up a designated nap room — a quiet, cozy space where pets can unwind, recharge, or enjoy some peaceful alone time whenever they need it.
About: Hello there! My partner Andrew and I share a true love of animals, as well as traveling, and over the past 11 years we have offered our services as pet sitters and care-givers as a way to pursue 2 passions at once! We like to see it as a win-win for us and you, as we have used this platform and others as a way to both earn, and save money, while having meaningful experiences along the way. Having both grown up with animals and then having our own, as well as both being the eldest sibling of large families, has given us a lot of genuine experience. We are definitely what you would call "naturals". Animals not only like us but feel safe and comfortable with us. Our reputation and references are something we have worked hard for and consider of the utmost value. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to do this professionally and have had a great experience here on Rover, as well as via word of mouth. We have recently returned to Minnesota where I am from and once again offering ourselves up as dog walkers and house/pet sitters! I know leaving not only your pet but your house takes a lot of trust and so I would love to do whatever I can to assure you they are both safe. As you can see we have glowing reviews on Rover, and additionally, tons of glowing reviews on airbnb which I can provide a link to if you send us a booking request. I can think of no better way than to prove we are what we are what we believe ourselves to be, something we pride ourselves on being able to say, and shows the effort we have put into each sit/stay to take care of animals and homes as if they were our own. Some of the other things we do for work and are passionate about are: music, food service, teaching Spanish, writing, and instruments, child-care, coaching, and various outdoor activities. Please feel free to ask any questions and thank you for reading. Heather We are both working from home so are able to devote a lot of time to any animals we may be caring for. We are also very flexible and able to adapt to changes in scheduling. We are not currently able to host pets in our home but are able to accommodate any needs you or your pet may have in order to be and feel safe.

“Dylan does a fabulous job caring for our little shihtzu. He is very responsive and informed. Our little dog loves to go to their home. I have no worries while we are away! Thank you, again!”

“Nicole & Derek were great, very welcoming and friendly, and loved that our boys🐶🐶could sense the same. Thor & Titan were very comfortable from the moment we walked in, and their little Winston🐶was a perfect playmate. The updates and photos were comforting, and letting both sleep with them on the bed spoke volumes. We don’t take lightly who we entrust our fur babies with, and these guys will definitely be our first call when needed. Thanks again for the exceptional care! 5-stars all day long!!!!!😎✌🏻”

“Theo has so much fun with Karen and her family! It is so wonderful to have such a trustworthy, kind, and responsive person to watch my pup when I have to go out of town. 10/10 recommend booking with Karen!”

“Tricia did a great job with our sweet boys! She updated us, sent us photos, and took great care of them while we were gone. One of our dogs is very shy, but he even warmed up to her!”
“Abby and her family are phenomenal people. I would highly recommend her service for any of your pets. She took care of our lab Chloe over a weekend and sent us updated photos and texted throughout the weekend about what she was doing. Thanks Abby!!!”

“Dessirae is the best! This was our dogs' first stay with her, and it was great! The dogs loved her and her home. The dogs were not entirely sure that they wanted to return home with me, when I showed up to retrieve them today. I only hope that they were well behaved, as we hope that they will have future stays with her.”

“Marissa is absolutely AMAZING! She took on our babies an hour after requesting when we were left in a bind. Her house is beautiful and immaculately clean. They have multiple methods of safety for those considered a flight risk and worried mom's such as myself! Excellent communication and lightning fast responses with picture and video updates! Marrisa and her parents have taken excellent care of my babies and put my mind to ease.. my girls warmed up to her so much we booked another stay! I won't ever hesitate to use her when we come back to visit! Thanks Marissa!”

“Elizabeth was wonderful and very accommodating! If we ever are in Red Wing and need boarding we will definitely call Elizabeth! She is a great communicator and sent pictures of our Buster and Teddy!!”

“So glad she was able to take our dog for the day on short notice. Milo had a great time playing with Alisha's dog and enjoyed the affection from her and her family. We definitely be contacting her again.”

“Cassondra was awesome with our dogs! She did everything to make sure our dogs were taken care of and she even gave them a bath! She sent picture updates during the stay as well. We will definitely contact Cassondra again in the future!”

“This is basically Dennis’ second family. He loooves the little kids and is always SO excited to see Jessica when I drop him off. Will always continue to book with them!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life and have fostered many puppies and dogs over the years. I have experience in puppy training, high anxiety dogs, shy dogs, active dogs and seniors. I work from home and am home 24/7. We have lots of playtime outside in the backyard especially when the weather is nice. I have lots of toys, a doggy pool and a yard to play in! I have a 5ft fully fenced in yard that allows my dogs to get lots of playtime, including a doggy pool. I am home all day so your pet will not be left alone.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and genuinely love caring for them like they’re part of the family. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages and temperaments. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions and medications. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins to give you peace of mind. We both work full time in the office. We leave our dog home alone to roam the house Monday - Friday from 8:00 to 12:00 and 1:00 to 5:00 with a mid day lunch and potty break. We have a 2-year-old 75 lb Pyredoodle who LOVES to play and wrestle, so your dog will have a built-in buddy. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe playtime and exercise. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and beds. Our home is smoke-free and kid-free.
About: I grew up with dogs and as an adult, I have had 3 cats. Sadly they have passed away from old age. In the future, I plan on having another pet, but in the meantime, I can love and care for other people's animals! Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their pets. I do work full-time Monday through Friday, but my schedule would be available on weekends and some weekdays after 5:30 PM. Holidays can be an option also. My main values are providing safety, trust and love to your pets with respect to the pet owners. When I am with your pet you will be worry free!
