About: I love helping owners and families feel confident that their dog is happy, safe, and comfortable, whether with me for a daily walk or when entering your home to visit with them. I grew up living with dogs from the age of 5, adopting and caring for 7 dogs over 3+ decades, including my current pup, super senior Arthur. I have experience owning dogs of all ages - puppies to elders, and various sizes - 8 to 60 lbs. I am comfortable working with dogs who are timid, high-energy, or anywhere in between. I also have experience addressing special dietary needs and giving medication. I am a reliable communicator and will keep you informed of your dog's wellbeing with regular updates. I will treat your home and all who live there with respect and kindess. I believe it is a privilege to own, care for, and love a pet, and I have gotten a lot of joy from the dogs in my life over the years. I'm eager to meet yours! I have a part-time, remote work schedule that allows me the flexibility to dictate my own schedule. I rarely have unexpected meetings, appointments, or travel in my schedule. I always ensure that pets - new or known to me - feel comforted and safe in my presence. I match their energy and needs, and lead with calmness when meeting any new animal. I never make assumptions about other peoples' pets and consistently use any feedback or guidelines provided to bring the best care. I err on the side of caution when working with all animals, ensuring that their safety and comfort is paramount, as is my own.

About: I have had my own dogs for the past year or two and absolutely love spending time with dogs. I understand their needs and try my best to make sure each dog gets their own individual needs taken care of. I do this on the side and my schedule is variable. I love to get to know the owners and dogs together, while taking all the necessary precautions to stay safe right now. I am willing to give baths and clip nails if needed, as long as the dog cooperates. I love being able to keep the dog(s) active and engaged because I understand the need for engagement and exercise. I may not have any professional experience but I love everything dog and will work extra hard to make sure your dog is loved and cared for! I usually have mornings open so I can walk your dogs and get them up and moving in the beginning of the day! I am born and raised minnesotan so I also know how to brave the weather so you don't have to My dog is very needy and loves attention so I'm also used to having a dog around and keeping them engaged! I am very good at reading what they need and how they are communicating! I love being interactive with the dog and keeping them happy!

“Cayla was wonderful. We were in a crunch looking for care for our fur babies and she came in clutch. She was timely and loved and cared for them as we hoped. Thank you Cayla!”

“Andy did an awesome job checking in our senior kitty. Instructions were followed, our home was left clean, and Andy took the time to get to know our cat, provide some additional treats, and get some play time in. We really appreciated the communication and the photos!”

“Teresa was great! Easy to communicate with and followed everything wonderfully - that too with puppies! Would definitely look to have her watch the babies again!”

About: I have had my own dog since I was 4. I also have been a dog sitter for many of my neighbors for years. I have experience with frequent visits during the day and overnight sitting. I’ve also had experience with special conditions such as giving medication and caring for pets who are ill. For example, my dog needs ear drops and allergy medication, so I have experience with those types of medication specifically. I also have experience cat sitting and caring for other pets, like small rodents or snakes. Currently I am working full time, hybrid, with two days in the office. I’m available for visits during the mornings and afternoons/nights during the week or weekend. I will be more available during the holiday season as well and can sit for an extended period of time if you are on vacation. I have a cat at home so I cannot provide home services, but I am available for house sitting! I have done many extended stays and have the luxury of working from home, so if your pet needs to stick to their schedule, I can be there.

“Our pup Tango enjoyed his visits from Melody, complete with tug and belly rubs! Melody was attentive to his needs, taking care to complete all requested activities (lunch, potty, hang out) while she was there.”

Megan L.

“Peggy went above and beyond on taking care of my new 2 month old puppy, Coco. Coco is very needy and needs extra attentionand Peggy was able to use her experience as a dog owner to help with Coco. She also was willing to go and pick up the keys from work which I appreciated a lot as I live in an apartment. I will definitely recommend her! She’s super nice!”

“Atlas is amazing and always goes the extra mile. I trust them with my house and pets :)”

About: My husband and our family have been watching dogs on Rover since before it was even called Rover. We've lived overseas a few times so if you see gaps in our reviews, that is why. We are very active with our doggie guests and would love to host your dog. We typically go on walks once a day and on weekends typically try to be outside more (as the winter weather permits). We're open to requests to take your pup to dog parks, bike rides, or walks depending on your pup's preferences. Note: you will typically see delayed responses past 9PM but will get back to you as soon as I see your messages. Thanks! Both my husband and I work full time M-F but I work from home and would be able to take bathroom breaks or walks mid-day. If you needed someone to stop by and let your dog out, it would have to be within the Columbia Heights, Fridley, Shoreview area. We have a fenced in yard in the back that we take out the dogs to hang, throw a ball, or relax. Inside the house we leave it open range as long as your pup can handle no accidents, no chewing the kids' stuffies (it's hard I know!), etc. When we are gone, we do like to crate our visitors so they don't get into mischief while we are gone.

“Meg did a great job with our puppy! She was punctual and could see Marshall had a lot of energy, so she took him in a long walk!”

“Annette is super reliable and flexible! She has been a big help with transitioning my puppy home!”

Jessica O.

“Will took excellent care of our dogs. He made sure to check on them, give them ample play time, and ensure they had water. We have two English Mastiffs, one of whom is young, so we really appreciate having someone who is confident with large, adolescent dogs. On top of it all, he’s an excellent photographer and took a lot of great photos! We are excited to use his services again in the future and would highly recommend him to others.”

Amanda D.

“At first we had a hiccup on day one, however, afterwards Briana was a great sitter and communicated when she was arriving and providing us updates on our little fur babies and sent us photos of them every check while we were out of town. Great experience with Briana and she also drove in the deep snow and we were appreciated for her to make out to feed and visit our little fur babies. Great experience for us!”

Sandy T.

“Erin was amazing with all 3 of my dogs and was willing to work with me through their adjustment into apartment living! She let all 3 out, fed them, and gave one medication. Plus her flexibility cannot be overstated!”

Abby L.

“Caroline is as so wonderful with our pup! She even stopped by last minute to do a little meet and greet before our visit to get familiar! Would definitely book with Caroline again”

Caroline J.

“Anna has been great! We have peace of mind knowing Anna is taking good care of our kitty while we are away. Our kitty gets nervous around new people but quickly warmed up to Anna. She provides us a recap of each visit and pictures which we love and look forward to receiving. She has also been great by bringing in packages that have been left on our doorstep.”
