“Lynn was fantastic! She was extremely friendly, on time, and her communication skills were on point. She made sure to ask all the right questions before hand so Queenie’s needs were met. She sent photos and videos throughout the day. Definitely rebooking anytime we need someone to sit Queenie again!”

“My TWO 1 year old Great Danes had never had a sitter and are huge balls of lively love. Katie jumped in at last minute to save me. The twins LOOVVVED her and she introduced them to bubbles! She was flexible, caring and diligent. I was so lucky to find her.”


About: I'm familiar with several different sizes and breeds of pets. Some dogs, some cats. I'm used to always having a pet around. I enjoy spending time with pets. I'm currently doing what I can for work on my own. I'm hoping pet care can become another thing I do. Let me know what you need accomplished and when. I will do my best to keep your pets on a similar schedule as they are used to. I will also do my best to keep the pets comfortable.

“Emma stayed with our dog while we were on vacation for a week. We got daily updates, and our dog always seemed to be having the best time… like she was on vacation too! It made our time away that much better, knowing she was having fun and being well taken care of. We had no worries whatsoever. The house was also spotless when we got home! A nice bonus after being gone for a week! Would absolutely have Emma stay again… she’s fabulous!”

Previously owned mastiff, bully breed dogs, hounds, huskies, also cats, gerbils, rats, zebra finches, fresh water and saltwater tropical fish. I'm available evenings and weekends during the school year. Additional daytime availability from June to September. Northfield, MN daytime visits can be negotiated as needed. My single level home has a fully enclosed six foot privacy fence and dog doors out to the yard. Splash pad and wading pool available in the warm months.

About: I’ve loved dogs as long as i can remember, I’ve been around dogs my whole life, had a Labrador Retriever growing up. My passion really began when neighbors would start asking me to dog sit for them. I always knew I wanted to do something with animals (mainly dogs.) a family friend told me about Rover & I immediately knew I had to become a sitter. I am very trustworthy and reliable & easy to reach! I currently do not have any pets in my home which makes me a great sitter if your dog isn’t a fan of other dogs/animals! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs & care for them. I currently only work 3 days a week for 4 hours so I’m VERY flexible! You can always count on the fact that your dog is SAFE. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, I will keep your dog leashed unless you say otherwise!

About: I’ve taken care of small to big dogs for almost 10 years now. I have a dealt with a handful of reactive dogs as well as plenty non reactive dogs, I was taught how to read dogs body language about 6 months ago and I’m still working on improving! I have dealt with scuffles as well as dogs that were very persistent. Currently I am at a doggy daycare Fridays and Saturdays taking care of daycare and boarding dogs. Sunday thought Thursday I am at home taking care of my own dog by continuing his training, taking him on walks, playing with him, and watching him play with his sister. In my home I care for my pets by making sure I give them attention, exercise, mental stimulation, fun outside time with bones and toys, as well as making sure my puppy stays rested after a long day. When taking care of clients pets I treat them the exact same way and I make sure I follow the owners instructions to ensure the best care for the best pups!

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 and live on a 6 acre farm where the dogs can run and play all day. I’m currently between jobs but anticipate that my next work will be WFH so I can care for the dogs and other farm animals day in and day out. While the yard is not fenced per se, I do have invisible fencing if your dog is used to that system. I have 3 of my own dogs that know the boundaries and stay within them. I have a 3 bedroom house with 2 of the bedrooms unoccupied so there is plenty of space. I have crates of different sizes of your dog prefers to be crated for any length of time. One of my dogs is crated when not home the other 2 are free to roam the house and very well behaved.

About: I will love and cherish your fur baby as my own. More scratches and pets than they could hope for. And plenty of roaming time for refreshment 🫶🏼 I am happy to help where and how I can as I understand the parental worry of being away all day. I am currently home for the summer as an adjunct instructor. My daughter continues daycare full-time Monday-Friday, with the exception of random hookie days. But I am always available and very flexible! I don’t disrespect my own home, I would never do it to yours. I am a renter and unable to bring furbabies for play dates but would happily spend the day with your fur baby as well as tidying up or washing a couple dishes.

“Allison watched both my dogs for a full day and was great! She provided updates throughout the day and was a great companion for them while my husband and I were working! Thank you so much! We will definitely rebook with her!”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and they have always been a part of the family. Dogs bring out the best in people. I am a freelance photographer so my schedule is flexible. I spend a lot of time on my feet and outside. But I will always bring a pup along We have a big house and a big yard. We also live near a beautiful walking arb. There is lots of room to stay very active!

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, Guinea pigs plus litters, rats plus litters, rabbits plus litters, bearded dragons, birds, mice, hamsters and I would love to watch any animals you have small to big, caged or not caged. From the age of 5 I have had dogs and I’ve always walked and taken care of other dogs in my building from taking them on walks to watching them for a week while the owner was away. I currently have 8 pets I care for daily and plus a toddler so I’m pretty experienced and honestly 8 just isn’t enough for me I have a dog and a cat to keep either species entertained and happy, I can offer as many walks a day as needed plus even trick training if needed.

“Araya was so great with our 13 wk old pup, who is a handful to say the least. She did an amazing job and even brought some lovely surprises home from her work at the vet's office. We couldn't have imagined a better sitter for our little one. ?”


About: What sets me apart from others is my willingness to go the extra mile. Need something done in a specific manner? I will be sure to listen and make sure it is done properly. I have a golden retriever that needs things done a specific way so I know how important it is to listen to those steps. I have administered pills for both my own dog and others that I have watched so I am very comfortable with that process. I am currently working part-time so I have been finding a lot of extra time on my hands that I’d like to get busy with! That being said I have a very flexible schedule. So getting your pup out at the proper times would not be an issue! I care for your animal as you would. Like I said before, I know the importance of things done specific ways so I’m courteous of your pups and your own needs. I love to love on them, but understand if they are not for it, so I know my boundaries!:)
