“Remy is great with my dog! She is communicative and thorough. I know my dog is in great care with her. She is also a great photographer and sends the best pictures! I highly recommended Remy!”

“Shayla has been an amazing dog walker for our little Mabel! She’s very attentive, fast at communicating, always takes lots of pictures and always fills out the Rover card! If I could give her ten stars, I would! 😊”

About: Welcome to CharMollys Pet Sitting! As a dedicated cat sitter and boarder, I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where your cat can feel at home while you're away. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, whether they're playful and social or shy and reserved. My home features a private, air-conditioned room designed to help cats feel secure and stress-free. I take the time to learn each cat's routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys, and special needs. I am patient with nervous cats and experienced in building trust with pets that may need extra time to warm up to new people. During their stay, your cat will receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and daily care. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing while you're away. Your cat's comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your feline family member! – Mario CharMollys Pet Sitting 🐱Weekday drop-offs and pick-ups are preferred before 7 AM or after 4 PM due to my daytime schedule. On weekends, I have open availability and can be much more flexible with timing. Feel free to message me to coordinate what works best for you and your pet 🐱 Your cat will enjoy a calm, private, air-conditioned room designed exclusively for cats. I provide personalized attention, daily photo and video updates, and an stress-free environment where shy, nervous, and senior cats can feel safe and comfortable. With years of feline care experience, I understand cat behavior and give each guest the patience and care they deserve. Unlike traditional boarding facilities, your cat will stay in a cat-only environment with no dogs, helping reduce stress and create a more relaxing experience
About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.
“Kayleah did a great job with our very large and energetic Shepherd mix! Her communication was excellent, and Dawson was always excited to see her. Next time we need a dog walker, we’ll definitely reach out!”

“Oliver did great with Jessica! He has been anxious with other walkers in the past, but had no issues with Jessica at all. She is easy to work with, flexible, professional, and of course, gets along well with Oliver :)”

“Sy has been a lifesaver helping me with Lilly during the week!! She was super quick to respond to my initial request, which I was so grateful for because I needed services suddenly. And to top it all off, Lilly loves her so I feel like she’s in great hands whenever I’m gone! She goes above and beyond, even helping me with her medication when I asked. And she seems to really care about Lilly’s wellbeing, like she’s her own. Definitely recommend!!”

“Kristine does a great job with my dog. He can be stubborn or get scared on walks and want to go home. If that is the case she will stay and play with him in the backyard. But she also gets creative and communicates with me on strategies to get him to walk and it has worked. Overall great communication and very timely. Would recommend her to walk or care for your dog.”

About: I was an active Rover sitter from 2017-2022 before going on an extended leave. My partner and I have decided to lightly reopen (0-2 stays per month) our home for dogsitting clients because I miss it. If folks are interested in a housesitter and live closer to Edina, my partner Ryan is available for housesitting. He can only housesit for clients with dogs who can handle a standard work day alone. I have a broad experience with many different types of dogs. Since I was young, my family always took in strays and rehomes and it's something that I have continued with as I grew up. I have experience both owning and watching small dogs, large dogs, high energy (border collies and heelers), low energy, high work drive (malinios), anxious, reactive, confident, and multiple dogs. I also have experience managing multiple dog households in which one dog was dog aggressive/reactive. I state this since I know what it's like to try and get a sitter for the "problem child" of the household. I believe dogs are happier when they have a job and love working to find out what dogs enjoy doing! Some dogs enjoy using their nose, others enjoy climbing and jumping on things, some dogs like trick training and some dogs enjoy chasing the ball! But at the end of the night, all dogs like some cuddles and sleep. I currently have multiple dogs that are active in various dog sports, dog training, and walking (slowly getting back into running after an injury). I do not have a fully fenced yard but I also don't ever use my yard as a way of exercise, the yard is purely to go potty or to lay down in while I work outside. Your dog will always be on leash when going potty even if it's below freezing. I am a big believer that there's rarely bad weather just bad gear, your dog will get outside most days with me or at the very least some one-on-one time to play, train, or mental/physical exercise every day. Ryan has experience with anxious and high energy dogs but prefers dogs who enjoy cuddling and long meandering walks. Currently, I am available all day to care for Rover clients. I do have training commitments for Search and Rescue on Saturday mornings but your dog will be exercised either by Ryan during that time or exercised by me afterwards. Clients have their own separate room (my home office) for bedtime and when dogs need to be separated (calm time, feeding, needing to be left, etc). I do not require crating but strongly prefer to take on clients who crate their pups due to poor experiences of client dog’s shredding door frames. If your dog isn’t crate trained, we may have a conversation beforehand about a plan of action if your dog does destroy things when left alone.

About: I’ve had 15 years of dogs in my houses and many pets in the family who have needed sitting. I’m also normally responsible for the puppy age :) My dog is a 6 year old black lab. We live along the river in a townhouse, so I’m always out taking him for long walks or to the neighborhood dog park. I’m currently unemployed so have lots of free time and in the habit of pet care! Pet care available in our home. We have 3 separate floors so I can keep your dog apart from my dog if preferred. Lovely dog park a short walk from the house, access to grass areas right outside our front door, and miles of paths along the river that a very walk friendly.

About: I am an inclusive, outdoorsy, and compassionate pet and house sitter with almost two decades of experience. I care about your pets and house as if it were my own! I have cared for creatures big and small, and maintain the most similar household routine as possible for your pet. My first job was in a veterinary clinic, so I am comfortable with administering medicines and taking care of animals with special needs. I am a full-time high school counselor. I am proud of my work/life boundaries, so I keep my schedule at school tight. I am out of the house from 7:30-4:30 on the weekdays. With my pet sitting experience, I am used to working in a pet’s routine with my schedule. If you are looking to book me in the summer, however, I have nothing but time! :) I rent, so am unable to board your pets in my home. I have, however, extensive experience staying in the homes of the critters I care for. I am a respectful and tidy guest, and always try to leave the home better than I found it.
About: I grew up with dogs in my home from birth, and had up to 4 dogs in my house all at different ages. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, bathe, and sit for their doggies since I was 8 or nine years old. I have experience working with puppies all the way to senior dogs at the end of their lives. I specifically cared for two of my own senior dogs by providing homemade food, cleaning up accidents, and providing a safe location to go through seizures. I am out of school for the summer, and working a few hours each week remotely. I have ample time to spend with your dog or cat. I am up early on weekday mornings to go to the gym, so I can do early morning let outs/ walks as well as daytime and evening or even overnight care. I am able to come to your home to care for your pet with great daily flexibility. I have a vehicle, so I can easily pop over and let out your pet or feed them/ change a litter box. I can also do a home stay for whatever period of time is needed.
About: Your pup deserves the best! That's my attitude. I will always show your dog love and follow your care instructions to the T. I will work with you and listen to your needs, proving that your pet is in trusted hands while you're away. My pet care experience consists of taking care of my own dogs (and cats) over the past 20 years - from the age of 8 weeks to 15 years old. I've done house-sitting jobs for as long as I can remember for family members as well as people from my church while in college, taking care of their pets while they're away. I've cared for multiple dogs for many days while family has been on vacation. I sincerely love dogs and want you to feel comfortable with the person caring for your pet! Since 2020, I have been a full-time work from home employee at my job. This allows my plenty of flexibility and availability to properly care for my own and other people's pets. I have my own dog and cat, both are very comfortable being around other animals. I go for daily walks with my dog, and take her to the dog park that is on our property regularly as well. I have separate space that can be gated if an animal needs their own space, and keep my house very clean and tidy.
“Our dog fell in love with Carolyn immediately! She has been a tremendous help to us and is a good communicator. I echo other reviewers: we really appreciate her!”

West Side dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah did an excellent job walking Hazel while our family was out of town. She was on time, friendly and great with an energetic lab. She paid special attention when we let her know that Hazel gets anxious while around other dogs and on a leash, and came up with some tricks to ease her anxiety. We’d absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone needing a dog walker!

Xinia has been great with my dog! She shows up on time is very kind to my Frenchie Harriet and even gets her stubborn doggie butt to go on a walk with her. Harriet is usually difficult to walk for strangers as she just stops and acts stubborn. The last time Xinia walked her Harriet was excited to see her for a walk! This is has been wonderful for me since I can't walk her for a while as I just had foot surgery.

Claire was awesome! She took great care of my pupper on their daily walks, and was clear and communicative. Followed all my directions and was even nice enough to give me pup some extra time when he was anxious about construction workers at my building. Will definitely be hiring her again :)
