Pet Sitting Waite Park

“Christy is amazing, we have used her for several years now and could not recommend someone higher. She takes wonderful care of our cat, it’s wonderful not having to worry if your fur baby is being cared for.”

Madeline J.

“Lizzy was an excellent sitter, she was able to come support last minute and was patient with some issues getting in the building which I really appreciated! She was great with Dexter and completed everything that was required during a couple quick visits. Would recommend 10/10 and I hope to work with her again. Thank you Lizzy!”

About: About Me & My Family Hi there! We are a lifelong dog-loving family excited to welcome your furry companion into our home. Dogs have been a central part of our lives for as long as we can remember, and we know how important it is to find a safe, loving, and attentive environment for your pup while you're away. When your dog stays with us, they aren't just guest pets—they become part of the family! Why Your Dog Will Love It Here: -Constant Care & Supervision: Both adults in our home work from home full-time. That means your pup will almost never be left alone! They’ll get frequent potty breaks, steady companionship, and plenty of mid-day love. -Spacious & Secure Yard: We have a large, fully fenced-in yard perfect for zoomies, games of fetch, or lounging in the sun safely. -A Built-In Playmate: Our 2.5-year-old, 45 lb mutt mix is super friendly, energetic, and always eager to make new canine friends. If your dog loves to play, they’ll have a fantastic partner in crime! -Kid-Friendly & Loving Atmosphere: Our two kids (ages 8 and 11) have grown up around animals, know how to respect a dog's space, and love giving extra pets and gentle attention. Our Daily Routine & Environment: Because we work from home, our daily schedule is very flexible. A typical day includes: -Morning: Morning stretch and breakfast, followed by supervised yard playtime. -Mid-Day: Periodic breaks out in the yard, desk-side snuggles, and interactive play sessions. -Evening: Family relaxing time indoors, treats, and lots of cozy couch or dog-bed lounging. Important Notes for Guest Dogs: To make sure everyone has a safe and happy stay, we ask that guest dogs meet a few basic requirements: -Cat & Dog Compatibility: We have two resident cats and one playful dog. Guests should be comfortable around cats (or happy to ignore them) and enjoy playing or peacefully coexisting with other dogs. -House-Trained & Vaccinated: Up-to-date vaccinations and basic house-training are required to keep all our pets healthy and safe. We’d love to host a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a perfect match for everyone. We look forward to meeting you and your pup! Our Daily Routine & Environment: Because we work from home, our daily schedule is very flexible. A typical day includes: -Morning: Morning stretch and breakfast, followed by supervised yard playtime. -Mid-Day: Periodic breaks out in the yard, desk-side snuggles, and interactive play sessions. -Evening: Family relaxing time indoors, treats, and lots of cozy couch or dog-bed lounging. Kids are both in soccer and if there’s a game, dogs will likely get some rest at home while we are gone. Otherwise home to supervise and play. Cat & Dog Compatibility: We have two resident cats and one playful dog with a large fenced in yard. Guests should be comfortable around cats (or happy to ignore them) and enjoy playing or peacefully coexisting with other dogs. Our dog is crate trained and sleeps there each night. Happy to crate as well. We have a separate guest space for dogs who want a bit more space to relax in an unfamiliar place.

“What a blessing to find Juli! She is so knowledgeable about dogs and has so much love for them. My Valentine has a special bond with her. I recommend her without any hesitation. Thanks Juli!”

Sandie S.

“This was my first time using Rover, and I had a very positive experience with Sarah doing drop-ins for my cats! I could tell from the pictures she sent me that my cats were so happy she stopped by. I’ll be looking to book her in the future!”

Sarah V.

“Ashley was very accommodating was able to book last minute and squeeze me in and still meet my kiddos needs. Communicative and fast response to any questions or concerns I had. Thanks”

Julian B.

“Our dog usually takes awhile to warm up to people - and he loved Anna from the very first playdate! Anna is the best dog sitter we have had here in Minnesota!!”

Michelle A.

“Sydney was exceptional and very communicative. I had worries about using Rover but she laid those worries to rest. I would definitely use Sydney again!”

Stephen Z.

“Thank you so much! The dogs were well cared for and happy! Abigail went above and beyond and carried in two heavy packages for us as well. She did a great job communicating before, during, and after the visits to reassure us that our Pyrenees was getting more comfortable and things were going well. She handled our other jumpy dog great too! Would absolutely book Abigail again!”

Heather W.

“Our cats were in good hands with Sierra! Sierra was responsive and made sure to ask questions as needed. Thanks for watching our furry friends 🐱”

Jackie B.

“Couldn’t recommend Anna more. We’ve been lucky enough for Anna to take care of our cat a few times and it’s always a terrific experience for all involved!”

Adela S.

“We appreciated Mezi coming to let our pup out and play with him while we were out. Great communication and reliable, she even accommodated coming to meet us beforehand which we really appreciated. We will definitely use her again to watch him.”

About: Hello! We are a pet-loving family in Northeast Minneapolis who miss having a dog around the house and would love to fill that void by helping you out in your time of need! We unfortunately had to say goodbye to our beloved golden retriever a few years ago and while we'd love to add a dog to the house again, with two preschoolers our home life can be a handful and it just isn't the right time for the full commitment of dog ownership. That's why we love to open our hearts and home to furry guests! If you're visiting my profile for cat boarding, it is very much a cat-loving house as well - we have 2 cats in our home. I work a hybrid schedule, with flexibility and leniency to choose when I go into office. Daytime schedules are flexible for potty breaks, walks, and stimulation. Always available in the evenings to get some energy out before bedtime. As you can see in the photos, our daughters have inherited the pet-loving genes from their parents - your pet will never be without attention! We have a decent-sized yard but not fenced in. We do have a long leash we can attach in the backyard so your pet can be with us while we're playing outside. Our neighborhood is very sidewalk friendly and bustling with other dog owners. Your dog will always be leashed when out of the house. We are also very friendly with the neighbors next door, fully-fenced, and can use their backyard for off leash time. We have two cats in our home who are very sweet and have had no issues with any of our guests. But our standard is just to create separate floors (unless it's a known guest) so there need not be any interaction during your pet's stay to avoid conflict. One cat tends to make herself scarce during our guests' visits, while the other watches curiously and without incident. Our basement is finished and I always stay down there with our guests and sleep on the couch when we have visitors (they're welcome to cuddle!). As for cat boarding - the same as above applies, we can always create separate areas for litter/feeding for your cat and the resident cats. You will get frequent photo and text updates throughout your pet's stay - take a look at my reviews to confirm. Apologies if the stats on my profile don't indicate 100%, as I tend to keep in touch over text messages as opposed to Rover's messaging (which is what counts towards that metric).

“Emily is awesome! Very kind, friendly, and persevered through difficulties in getting into our building. Will definitely have Emily take care of our cat, Augie in the future.”

Grace T.

“Pamela has been doing drop in potty breaks for our new dog. She is great! Consistent and communicative. The dogs like her AND her visits mean we no longer come home to accidents.”

Kate E.

“It was our first time using Rover, and I'm glad we landed with Teresa. She was so sweet and good with our new puppy, Birdie, that it really took the stress out of being away from her for the first time.”

Expirence with many (and I mean a lot!) of breeds, and expirence with human/dog/food/leash reactive dogs of all types and temperments! Im a full time doggy daycare worker and a full time student in psychology but i have a lot of free time and love meeting and helping out with new pets! Saftey, trust, enviorment, and care for me is a top priority. I love befriending pups and making sure I can make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible!

About: For over 5 years, I've been the go-to pet caretaker for many in my community. From energetic puppies to wise senior dogs, I've had the joy of caring for them all. My experience spans walking, feeding, bathing, and even some basic training. Every pet is unique, and I pride myself on recognizing and attending to each one's individual needs. Whether your fur baby needs patience, energy, or a gentle touch, I'm here to provide it. Balancing a remote job gives me the flexibility and opportunity to dedicate substantial time to pet care. I’m fervent about ensuring our furry companions get ample play and attention. I am open for boarding on weekends, and my weekdays post 11am are entirely devoted to caring for pets. Rest assured, your pets will enjoy ample time of fun and care with me! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I've created a pet-friendly environment, free from hazards and with plenty of play space. All pets have access to clean, comfortable resting spots and fresh water at all times. If I'm taking care of pets in your home, I'm respectful of your space and follow all guidelines provided. My goal is to ensure that whether I'm in your home or you entrust your pet in mine, they are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m a kindergarten teacher with a flexible summer schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide walks, drop-in visits, and quality care for your furry family members. I’ve always had a love for dogs and enjoy spending time outside on walks, playing fetch or tug-of-war, and, of course, giving plenty of cuddles and belly rubs. Every pet deserves attention, exercise, and lots of love while their family is away. At home, I have a puppy named B who keeps me on my toes! She loves meeting new people, playing tug-of-war, and—unfortunately—digging in the dirt whenever she gets the chance. Raising an energetic puppy has given me even more hands-on experience with training, patience, routines, and understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I know that your pet is more than just a pet—they’re a beloved member of your family. I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. Safety is always my top priority, and I’m committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether you need a drop-in visit, a walk, or dog sitting, I’d love to help make life a little easier for your family while giving your best friend the care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup, and I look forward to walking your best friend soon! Currently on a teacher summer schedule, my schedule is flexible this summer! Just reach out and see what we can work out for the other of us. Pets are family, they should be treated like family. My dog is my best friend, I understand how you feel about your furry friend, I’m here for a peace of mind.

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.
