“Emma is truly the sweetest! She did such a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby during her walk. Emma was incredibly patient and gave her all the time she needed, including extra breaks, so she could enjoy the walk at her own pace. I really appreciated how attentive and caring Emma was throughout their time together. She even sent along the cutest little story about their adventures, which I absolutely loved! It’s clear that Emma genuinely cares about the dogs she walks and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. I really appreciate Emma and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and wonderful dog walker! 🐾💕”

About: Hi. My name is Carrie. I love all kind of animals. I have 2 cats right now. I used to have a hampster. I grew up having rodents. I never owned a dog but i sure love them. I used to live with a couple of dogs in thr past but they wasn't mine. I used help take the dogs for walks though and fed them as if they was my own dogs. I love walking them. I love playing with them. Like balls, freezbie. I live in a apartment building and am only allowed to have to pets that live me anyways. I can however babysit as many as pets like other cats or even dogs as i want. There is no rule on that. I just love animals all together. So feel free to message me if you are interested P.S. Just so you know I can't drive but I take metro mobility. I hope that is not a problem. Also, I have found out that i can't have anymore animals that aren't mine so I would have to travel to the Guest's house to watch their pets. I hope that is fine with everyone. I love cats and offer cat sitting as well as dog sitting! I’m happy to stay at your house or visit your kitty while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Isabelle, and if there’s an animal in the room, chances are you’ll find me hanging out with it. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all kinds. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or your cat prefers a quiet companion and some extra treats, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I know every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and spoil them with lots of love and attention! I have a very flexible schedule and am able to accommodate a wide range of days and times, including weekdays, weekends, and last minute requests when needed. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get consistent, reliable care whenever you need it I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. This includes feeding them on schedule, making sure they get exercise and playtime, keeping their space clean, and giving them lots of love and attention. I always pay close attention to their behavior and needs so they stay happy and comfortable while their owners are away.

I live taking walks during my lunch and can adjust depending on the dogs needs:) I live with my boyfriend in a 2 bedroom apartment and we have a nearby dog park:) we have easy access to outside and a very spacious apartment!
“She is amazing with our two dogs. You can tell she really cares for the animals she walks. She is always flexible and understanding with schedule changes. Our dogs loved her even though they’re usually very skeptical of new people and I would highly recommend her for any services for your pups!”

About: I have one dog he is 16 weeks old currently his name is marshmallow and he’s a frenchie baby , I have been taking care of dogs since the age of 12 I’m now 24 almost 25 , I have 13 years of experience , ranging from pitbulls to teddy bears , chocolate labs , etc . I work from home as a certified nursing assistant, occasionally I’ll go in to cover a shift if someone calls out but I mostly do resident charting and staffing schedules from home .

About: I've lived on a homestead taking care of farm animals including dogs, cats, goats, horses, chickens, and much more! My parents bred and trained AKC Labradors and Beagles for wild game hunting. I became a farm hand for a local barn in New Hampshire at the age of 14. Once I was 16 I started overnight caretaking for horses, dogs, and cats. I have experience training puppies and rescue dogs with my parents. I also own amphibians and non conventional pets so I'm familiar with exotic caretaking. I'm currently dog sitting/walking/feedings fulltime. I'll have plenty of time during the day to play with your pets and take them outside for potty breaks. I live in apartment that does not allow cats or dogs so any pet sitting will have to be done at your home. I have my own private insurance alongside Rover Garantee. I will need a full tour of your yard if it's fenced, to make sure there aren't any means of escaping. A full detailed care sheet that includes the pet's schedule, behavioral concerns (a must), vitamins or medications schedule, prefered place to walk or run (typical place you go to help understand your pet's public behavior and help form trust with them. I will always learn your pet's behavior in a controlled and comfortable environment first. Then if you approve, we can eventually go on hikes. The more detail I have about your pet, the better their transition will be in my care. Trust and Safety is my top priority when caring for a family member that can't speak.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of being a pet owner myself for over 9 years and have cared for family and friends pets for over 20 years, with experience with reactive dogs specifically, as well as puppies and seniors alike. I’m currently working from home with flexible hours that allow for convenience to step out for walks, feeding time or check-ins/play-time as needed, especially local to St. Louis Park, Hopkins and Minneapolis. As my own dog is reactive to other pets I will only be able to provide care in your home/walks or playtime outside. I have experience pet and house-sitting and am comfortable with fitting into your routine as easily and seamlessly as possible. I am always comfortable with any level of communication, check-ins/photo documentation, home camera systems, and proof of locked doors/house security.
About: I have either lived or worked with animals from as young as I can remember. Growing up we had an abundance of different animals such as cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and more. Since being out on my own I have raised two puppies and a kitten and adopted a cat as well. I trained both puppies myself and am also familiar with caring for senior animals as well as giving medications and caring for animals that may have health issues or sensitivities. I volunteered at cat shelters all throughout college and worked in pet stores for multiple years so I come equipped with lot's of knowledge on feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning up after, and caring for pets. I have watched over many friends and family’s pets over the years and I treat all animals with the same love, respect, and care that I give to my own.

I have the most availability in the mornings through the afternoons but can be flexible for evenings if needed! Both weekdays and weekends work for me. I am comfortable following your preference on how you like to keep your pet safe in your home. If I see anything concerning I will always communicate this but my main goal is keeping your pet safe and healthy in the ways that you feel most comfortable with.I know every animal may be treated differently and my top priority is to care for them while also following their normal routine as much as possible.
About: I have been a dog / cat sitter for my friends, family and neighbors since I was 13. My family had both dogs and cats in the house when I was growing up. I love spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I especially enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them outside to help expend their energy. I currently work from home in a corporate position. I have plenty of free time and would love to spend some of it taking care of animals. Typically, I am staying over at the client’s home for the duration of their trip / vacation. The client will often have me over to their home prior to their departure to meet the animal(s) and go over their needs and any other special requests they may have. It is very important to me that the client feels safe entrusting me to stay in their home and take care of their pets.
“Kaitlyn was great with our Doberman! She took lots of photos during their walk and was great with communicating. We will definitely work with Kaitlyn again. Thanks so much for taking such great care of Buddy!!”

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
