Doggy Day Care in West Calhoun, Minneapolis

“Alyson is wonderful! Our pup stayed with her while we were visiting town and I'm so so glad we found her. Alyson was super responsive and easy to communicate with and really flexible. Plus my pup was zonked out after we picked him up, so he must have played a lot and had a great time.”

“Absolutely incredible experience. Celia was easy to communicate with and sent me pics of my pup throughout the day. I would love to book again - highly recommmend”

“Howie and Betsy were convenient, accommodating and flexible with my work schedules. They clearly love dogs and my baby boy was always happy to get out of the car and rush in to their home! Thank you.”

“Grace & Luke were wonderful dog sitters. It was my puppy’s first time going to doggy daycare. Grace sent many picture updates. My older dog has a much different temperament than the puppy…Grace made sure they each has the space and playtime that matched their personalities. I highly recommend them for watching your dogs!”

“Clara was great with our dog! Would recommend her to anyone!”

“I felt very comfortable leaving Maui with Kelly. She was able to give me updates and took my dog for a walk and to the park. She was also very nice!”

“Our Aussie stayed with Christine a while ago and had a BLAST! She played with Christine’s pup almost all day in the back yard. She was tired out over the next couple of days which was great for us. :)”

“Nicole is absolutely amazing! My little guy is almost 15 weeks and loves to be outside. I greatly appreciated her taking him out for walks, making sure he was happy, taking him out for a multitude of potty breaks (sometimes 2 times in an hour if needed) and keeping me updated throughout the day. I highly recommend Nicole, especially if you want your dog to be well cared for!!”

“Fantastic! Courtney takes such good care of our shy pup, who is coming out of his shell daily thanks to her care. And Kramer too. We are so lucky to have found them.”

About: *Please note, I live in a condo building. If your dog tends to bark, I am not a good fit. They also must be potty trained. Since joining Rover I have cared for cats, large dogs, old dogs and small dogs. I myself have had dogs my whole life. Growing up, we had four of them! I love to run and be active and I live right by the lake. Don’t let that fool you though - we certainly have our lazy days. I have an 8 year old hound mix, Ella. She keeps me busy but is also very cuddly and lazy. I have never had a problem between her and another pet. Besides her, I only watch one Rover dog or cat at a time. If I am doing a home stay, I request that I bring her with so I don’t have to run back and forth. I go into the office two days a week from roughly 9 am - 4 pm. All other days I am working from home. On the weekends, I can let you know my plans if I might be away for a few hours. I live in a one bedroom condo, so if I go away I usually put one animal in my bedroom and my dog in my living room. I also have a cage, but if you have one you prefer to bring, I will of course take it!

“Annie took great care of Simba ! Very grateful for the time & attention she gave my pup when I was busy at work ❤️ She was easy communicate to and always responded right away. Thank you Annie !”

“Molly came over and walked and fed my sweet cocker spaniel Kali on a weekly schedule. Kali was always excited to see her and enjoyed her walks. Molly was very responsible, never missed a scheduled time and always locked the door and shut off the lights. Totally recommend Molly!!”

“Althea has done a great job at watching my 50 lb. English bulldog named Gus. Gus is such a sweet boy, but can be challenging to take on walks as he pulls very hard. Althea has had no trouble (and has not complained) about his fierce desire to pull on his leash. She is patient, kind and extremely reliable. I'd even trust her to watch my 3-year-old daughter :)”

“your pet would be extremely happy with Ava as a dog companion walker! She has walked my 88 pound English golden at least 30 times! She always lets me know how he did and if he poooed!!! She fills his water bowl with fresh water and settles him in ! I just love her and so does Louie the golden boy!”

“Peter is the kindest person and a lover to all animals especially dogs. When I first met him and introduced him to my old girl Marley I was nervous since Marley is a sassy girl who has specific requirements. I didn’t have to worry as they became best friends and she prefers him to me now. He’s always sweet to her and diligent about taking her out on potty breaks and giving her medication. He is a great dog walker as well if you have a dog with more energy.”

“Ekaterina provided great care for my dog!”

“Elise is an extremely reliable and responsible person. She loves animals. She has watched my dog for me multiple times and I always feel completely confident that he is well taken care of and loved while he is with her.”

“Bentley had a great time with Katherine! She sent lot of photos and status updates through out the day. Bentley came home exhausted and happy! We will for sure use her again in the future!”

“Andy Griffin is always happy staying with Jackson. He does a good job with him and I am very satisfied with the service.”

About: Hello there, I'm Riley—an avid pet lover and your dedicated pet sitter. My lifelong connection with animals, especially dogs, has shaped my journey into a fulfilling pet care career. From sharing a bassinet with a loyal Weimaraner to caring for a blind dog, my experiences have shown me the boundless joy that pets bring to our lives. Growing up surrounded by dogs, I learned that each pet has a unique personality and needs. From my own GSP named Jazz to family outings with Jedi, our energetic GSP, I've cherished every moment. My experience isn't limited to dogs—I've also spent significant time cat sitting and working with educational animals like snakes, birds, and frogs. Whether it's an overnight stay, grooming session, or simply playtime, I tailor my services to ensure your pets feel loved and cared for. My qualifications include hands-on experience preparing specialized diets and medications for raptors. I approach every animal with the understanding that they are individuals deserving of attention and respect. Each pet's well-being is my priority, and I take pride in providing the specific care they require. I had the privilege of looking after a friend's blind dog on multiple occasions. Witnessing his determination to explore and enjoy life, despite his condition, was truly heartwarming. It's moments like these that remind me of the remarkable spirits that pets embody. I am currently between jobs and so I have a relatively open schedule, with a bit of interviews and moving tasks here and there. I love going on long walks around the lakes and would love your pet to be my company. I am moving at the end of the month and so can not house any pets at the moment. I walk around the lakes and parks of the Uptown and Whittier area A LOT and know all the best on and off leash areas. I also have an SUV sized car that can accommodate even large crates.
