House Sitting in West Lake Francis Shores

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Amber! We have multiple pets, including a very fickle and sometimes difficult Newfie, and she handled everything so patiently and confidently. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were being cared for by someone who truly understood them and took the time to make them comfortable. She provided frequent updates, pictures, and communication throughout the stay, which we appreciated so much. It was obvious our pets were getting lots of attention, care, and love while we were away. Coming home to happy, relaxed animals says everything. We will absolutely book again and highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate sitter — especially if you have large breeds or dogs with unique personalities!”

“Torri took excellent care of our four legged’s. Unfortunately, one of our animals had an unexpected medical crisis. Torri swiftly acted and handled the situation with care, professionalism, and love. She definitely served as our surrogate pet parent when we were 1300 miles away. Torri also left the house clean and tidy. Her pet care and house sitting was top notch. I would highly recommend Torri. Thank you, Torri.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about five years and worked in a veterinary hospital for three years. I have cared for cats, dogs, and even farm animals. With my veterinary experience, I understand animal behavior and basic medical needs, allowing me to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time as a waitress, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive, consistent care for pets. When I have advance notice, I can adjust my work schedule to accommodate pet sitting needs. For overnight stays, I prioritize spending most of my time in the pet’s home to ensure they feel comfortable, cared for. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I like to follow routines, maintain a clean and secure environment, and provide plenty of attention and supervision. With my past experience as a veterinary technician assistant, I’m attentive to behavior changes and health needs to ensure safe, reliable care.

“My dog and I fell in love. Andrea is amazing. I feel so comfy on vacation because she is an excellent sitter for my Kayce. My pitbull was in heaven! She is the best. Highly recommend.”

“Aida is truly the best sitter we have ever had - we absolutely adore her and our pup just loves her to pieces - complete peace of mind while we are gone!!”

“Rachel was awesome. She was very good at keeping our pets on schedule with meds and sent tons of pictures so that we knew everything was going smoothly. Would definitely book Rachel again.”

“Jessica is nice & she is good with Dexter! Takes him for walks and everything. She worked during her stay, which we agreed to, but she was gone a little longer than I expected based on her work schedule. Otherwise, she was good with Dexter and left the house in good order when she left.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. In high school, I worked at a dog daycare for 3 years where I was a manager and handled up to 30 dogs on a daily basis. These dogs varied in breed and behavioral characteristics, and it was my responsibility to ensure they were cared for and safe. I followed strict procedures regarding meals, safety, and potty breaks. I’ve also been a go to dog-sitter for friends and family for the past 3 years, staying in their homes taking care of their pets and following the provided instructions they left for me. My tasks as a dog sitter have included feeding at designated times, playing with them, and letting them out regularly. I’m currently between jobs and have a seasonal coaching job (ends in May) so my schedule is very open except from 3-5:15 M-F due to my coaching responsibilities. My flexible schedule allows me to take care of your pups and give them the time they deserve. When taking care of your pups or kitties (for overnights or drop ins), I love being given specific care instructions to ensure that there isn’t a change in their routine. Furthermore, if house sitting, I want to know and abide by your homes rules to be respectful to your space.

“Leah was reliable and really helped us out watching our dog before the holiday!”

“Hope did a great job watching my dog Charlie. She was communicative and gave him a lot of love and special attention. She picked up the booking with only a couple days notice (life saver) and even made time in her day to make sure to give him a walk - even walking him on the day that we got home.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with animals and my dedication to their happiness, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine. Between feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with my own dogs, I’m used to giving animals structure and attention every single day. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.

“Evelyn is a top-tier sitter. Great communication (lots of photos, keep me apprised of the goings on while I was away), super respectful (I think my house was cleaner when I got back than when I left it), and most importantly: my boys loved her. Would book with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Evelyn!!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety, including dogs, cats, farm animals and feathered friends. Over the years, I’ve provided pet services for neighbors, which has helped me build strong, hands-on experience with different personalities and needs. I also have experience working on basic training with dogs, including simple commands and reinforcing good behavior. In the past, I’ve provided overnight care in my home, creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away. I truly love what I do, and you can feel confident that your pet will be in caring, capable hands with me. I recently relocated to Minnesota from Texas with my husband and am currently preparing for an exciting new chapter—welcoming our first baby! I work part-time as a teacher’s aide at a daycare, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule. Outside of that, I dedicate my time to caring for animals and providing attentive, hands-on care. I carefully manage my bookings and only accept stays when I know I can give your pet my full attention, ensuring they receive consistent care, supervision, and plenty of love throughout their time with me. You can expect your pet to be treated like family while they’re in my care. I’ve worked with animals my whole life and understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to adjust to their routine and needs. Their safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for during their entire stay.

About: I am coparenting a 90 lb golden retriever and miss him so much when he’s away! He is not fond of new places, so I understand the importance of keeping your pets safe in your home while you are away. I have experience house and dog sitting for my sister and friends and I love walking and snuggling. I would be honored to take care of your little furry children! I work full time in a corporate setting in downtown Minneapolis, but I only go to the office twice a week. I have a fairly flexible schedule and would be available to work partial days from home as well. My typical work hours are 8:30am-5pm. I raised my now 6 year old golden retriever and cat, and am comfortable with all things puppy, kitten, teen, and adult related. I love going for walks and taking dogs to the park if they like to be social. I treat my own pets as my children and would love to dote on your babies in the same way!

About: I have been taking care of dogs and other animals for as long as I can remember! My family bred bully breeds for most of my life and I have 3 of my own that require a lot of extra care. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. I will take care of your pets like my own❤️! I have had just about every animal you could think of as well growing up and have a snake and bearded dragon currently if you have other animals that need caring for as well. I am new to rover but have plenty of experience with caring for my parents dogs, friends of my parents dogs, and a few neighbors pets. I currently work 9-5, Tuesday-Sunday in Blaine but have some flexibility and am available in the morning and evenings and all day Sunday and Monday! I have my own French bulldog boots who is the sweetest dog and I care for her through the day and I only have a part time job a couple days a week right now so my schedule is pretty much open! I have new beds, crates and a fenced in yard if needed care at my home. I stay at both mine and my significant others house , both perfect environments for dogs or small animals. I can care for your pet in your home as well if that is what you are looking for!

About: I grew up with labs and ultimately wanted lap dogs once I moved out of my parents home. When I was 20 (in college housing) I was crazy enough to get a puppy! My little dachshund made me the most popular student on campus, shortly thereafter I adopted a min pin because being an only child can get lonely! Both my dogs lived to be 20! They recently passed away and we have been missing that part of our family and aren’t yet ready to commit to new furry pets. My daughter is 9 and has done quite a bit of dog sitting already, she is all hands on deck (with supervision) and will surely spoil your pups! We’ve had dogs overnight at our house, done overnights at others home as well as done check ins and day visits. I have experience with administering meds (pills and shots), making special diets, bathing, nail clipping, ear cleaning, teeth brushing and all the typical dog Mom stuff! We like dogs of all sizes and ages! We love to go for long walks and explore nature or play a game of chase or fetch. I work a flexible schedule Monday - Friday and like to stay busy so would be able to accommodate most requests depending on location and advanced notice. We do not currently have any furry pets in our home so your dog(s) would be our main priority! We have a large downstairs basement if your dog has a lot of energy and would get them outside for good exercise as well.

“Always timely and informative during visits. Very easy to talk to, easy to trust. I can count on Tanya to show up and make sure my pup is safe and well cared for. She’s extremely respectful of the space and you can tell she really does enjoy being with the pup. My go to for a sitter!”

“Shea was absolutely fantastic. Our dog has some health issues, and Shea was very attentive to his medications and our concerns while we were away. We came home to a very happy dog. Our house was spotless. Without asking, Shea washed the bedding and put everything in its place. Her communication was thorough and consistent. Without any hesitation, we would ask Shea to sit for Rocky again! Thank you again for everything, Shea!”
