About: (Rover requires legal names, but please call me Rowan!) I’ve been around dogs constantly since birth. There have only been a few years of my life without any dogs in the house! I work at a dog daycare full time over the summer, so I'm accustomed to both puppies and seniors of all sizes. Over the summers I work full time at Dog Days in St. Paul, and I’m a student at St. Olaf over the school year. I’m totally free weekends and Tuesday/Thursday, with some availability afternoons and evenings the rest of the week. Dogs are basically furry children. They can’t communicate directly, so they resort to barking, growling, or even biting. I’m experienced in figuring out why a dog is acting out and calming them down before things get out of hand. What looks like “being annoying” is usually boredom, need for water, or anxiety!

About: I have four dogs of various sizes who have lived with my family for years and have a variety of needs and preferences. I have experience caring for senior dogs (our 11-year-old, Gonzo, who has arthritis and hips dysplasia, and our 10-year-old, Roxy, who suffers from severe anxiety), as well as young dogs, as we adopted three of our four as puppies. I'm taking a gap year from college, so I have all of the time in the world to care for your pets and I don't mind staying all day or overnight if needed. I've moved a lot, so I've petproofed quite a few houses at this point, and I'm always on the lookout for things that may pose a danger to pets, and I'll always rather be safe than sorry. As a rule I will always prioritize a pet's health and comfort over convenience.

About: I have had and taken care of dogs for over 30 years! I have always been a dog lover in particular but also have plenty of experience caring for cats as well. I work as a PCA weekdays 9:30-4:30 but have the flexibility to do drop in visits with my client during my work hours. I believe that our pets are family members and always treat them as such. Lots of attention will be given. I guarantee it! I work Monday through Friday 9:30-4:30. I am available before, after and during my shift. Open availability on weekends and I am available on most holidays. I treat pets as family. Lots of love and attention. I am not one to have a no pets on the furniture policy that's for sure!

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—starting on my family’s farm in southwest Minnesota with dogs, horses, sheep, and plenty of barn cats. I’ve worked in animal shelters and vet clinics, caring for all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to reptiles and birds. I’m Low Stress Handling certified and have hands-on experience with walking, grooming, giving medications, and more. At home, I have two sweet senior Springer Spaniels and help care for family pets and farm animals. I love being outside—whether it’s hiking, walking dogs, or just soaking up the fresh air. Most of all, I love making sure animals feel safe, happy, and loved—just like family. I am a free-lance graphic designer and baker, otherwise I have been a stay-at-home mom. Both kids are now in school full time, and I have started a part time job at Dakota Pet Hospital as a Client Care Representative. I cannot walk my own dogs, due to their mobility restrictions and age, so why not walk yours! I would be caring for your pet in your home and around your neighborhood through walks, drop in visits and play times. I want to get to know you and your pet so that we know that we will work well together. I want you to feel safe having me caring for your furry family member and best friend, and I want to feel safe and comfortable with your pet(s). I want to see how you interact with your pet so that I can give them the type of care they are used to receiving!

“Corey is great with Mom’s dog! Appreciate his kindness and professionalism and willingness to help care for Brady!”

About: I’m a remote worker who has been lucky enough to love and care for my own cat, dog, hamster, and horse, as well as numerous other critters in kennels, barns, and animal shelters. I work remotely, so my time is very flexible. I’m happy to drop in for a visit or walk any time of day, rain, blizzard, or shine! I live in a quiet house with an eleven-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who loves playing tug-of-war and snuggling with his furry buddies. When I’m working with a pet, I always play off of the animal’s behavior and respect their boundaries. The health, safety, and cleanliness of your pet are my top priorities.

About: I have worked and cared for animals from horses to poultry since I was a wee lad. I have a great love and respect for all creation. I have been called a Dog, Horse, Chicken, Cat, and even Sheep whisperer (My daughter has the same gift as well). Growing up our family never purchased an animal from a store, they were always rescues in one way or another. Without knowing that was true, this choice still shaped the way I have approached relationships with animals. And I believe animals know this about me (and others) and has impact on how they interact with me. I have worked at The MN Zoo, Farms, and local Horse Ranches and have absolutely loved learning about the creatures in my care. As a business owner, I have a little more flexibility than a normal salaried/hourly employee. Sundays are usually not available but can be requested. Please let me know how I can serve you and your animals Learning about each animal I meet guides the working relationship I can create. The same applies for each client I choose with whom to partner.

“Emma was great with my dog. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: With 18 years of caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals, I truly love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether it’s a playful pup, a cuddly cat, or farm animals that thrive on routine and gentle handling, I’m dedicated to making every animal feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. From feeding and daily care to keeping their spaces clean and cozy, I treat every animal like part of the family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets and farm animals are in kind, reliable hands while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom with a naturally flexible schedule, pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, regular check-ins, and reliable feeding or walking times. Whether it’s stopping in for midday visits, keeping up with routine care, or offering extra time and companionship when pets need it, I can adjust my schedule to match each animal’s needs. My open availability means pets get dependable, unrushed care—and owners get peace of mind knowing someone responsible is always close by. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routines consistent and making them feel safe and comfortable. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, clean environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and regular feeding and potty schedules. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines closely—feeding the same foods, maintaining familiar walk times, keeping litter boxes or living areas clean, and giving plenty of affection and company. I always make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, rest, and reassurance so they feel relaxed and well cared for, no matter where they are.

About: Hi there! My name is Teresa! I have a family that absolutely loves dogs and is thinking about adding another pup to our household and thought this would be a good way to see if it would be a good fit for our family! My husband and I and our four kids(13, 11, 6, 5) have had our current dog for 7 months and had adopted a rescue prior to that that we had for almost a year! We both had dogs growing up so this is such an important thing we want to teach our kids! We love to take our dog on walks and we absolutely love to play with him in our house, and we can’t wait to do the same with yours! Our fenced in yard offers a great place for dogs to be able to run and have so much fun! Please reach out if you have any questions, our schedule can be quite flexible depending on your needs!

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of various breeds and ages. I'm a beginner at administering medications and have intermediate experience working with special needs dogs. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs I take care of my high-energy dog daily, which has taught me the importance of providing consistent exercise, mental stimulation, and a structured routine. Caring for an active pet has prepared me to handle dogs with similar energy levels and needs, ensuring they stay happy and well-cared for. In my home, I provide a safe and welcoming environment for pets, complete with regular exercise, playtime, and a cozy space to relax. I maintain a consistent routine to help them feel at ease and follow any specific instructions from owners, such as feeding schedules or medication needs. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize keeping their routine intact, ensuring their comfort in a familiar environment. I treat their home with respect and provide updates to owners so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Great communication, thank you for walking cooper!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life: Dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, and even a horse! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I raised and trained my two Boston Terriers from 8-weeks-old, and also cared for my late rescue, Leo, who lived to be an incredible 19 years old! I’ve been watching pets for family, friends, and neighbors for about five years now. I’ve looked after the stubborn corgi all the way to the giant mastiff. Whether you have one or five pets, all will be loved, spoiled, and safe. I am currently available for any service all day every day! If you need a boarding service, it must be done at your own home for the safety of both of our pets (my puppies are pretty territorial and the bird does not understand the concept of boundaries). I am prepared to provide your pet with whatever they need. Whether it be walks, medication, or cuddles, they will have my indefinite attention! Your pet’s care routine will be strictly followed to ensure that they feel comfortable, and you are more than welcome to request photos and updates!

“I highly recommend Gabriella. She was amazing with my dog, walking him twice today and showing incredible patience and care throughout. My dog can be a handful, but she handled him so well. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. Thank you for your excellent service!”

My friends and family trust me completely to take care of their animals. Myself and my husband and side kick Bob, love all kinds of fur babies and decided to turn our passion into a business, where both of us have the pleasure of meeting you, your pets, and doing drop in visits in your home. Mostly, we will treat and love your fur babies just like they are our own. I for sure will make visiting your home and your pets a top priority. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to meet your needs. I have a safe and clean environment. I have plenty of toys and cat treats. I have lots of playtime and keep a regular routine for them. I get down to their level and give them lots of love and attention, as I would with your pets as well. I also have a husband who is a great cat daddy and is a wonderful wingman and he loves animals including dogs as much as I do. We would treat our pet sitting responsibilities seriously, as well as respecting your home and pets for pet sitting.
