About: Pets are like family to me. I will make sure that your pet is safe, loved, and has fun while you are away. They may even learn a new trick or two! I love cats and will provide a discounted rate for anyone who needs to board their cat with me! I currently work from home so I can spend all day with your fur baby. Since I do work from home, I can give your pet lots of walks and play time but they must be able to handle being alone when I am in a meeting. I can accept boardings for cats and dogs between 9am and 6pm. Same day bookings are only available for previous clients. I have a dog park within 3 minutes of my home. Your dog will enjoy playing there everyday. I also have a cat that loves other animals! I have lots of entertainment for a cat as well so they won’t be bored!


5. Regan C.
About: Growing up, I was known as the dog walker of our family neighborhood. Into college and post-grad, I’ve still been the go-to friend to check in on everyone’s furry pals while they are gone for a trip or even at work for the day! I’m currently working from home with a very flexible schedule, so I can typically be available whenever you may need (even same day in case your furry friend needs a check-in last minute!). I’m comfortable with whatever your pet may need or what you may prefer! I will always approach any situation with patience, care and a smile. :)


6. Alexandra R.
About: I’m that person who will wind down my window at a red light to say hi to a dog, go out of my way to pet a dog, and talk to a dog like it’s human. I promise to care for your dog as if he or she is my own. I have experience with little dogs, big dogs, and everything in between. I am happy to come to your home to care for your fur baby (or babies). I will be respectful of your space and ensure that any toys, leashes, etc are put back in their rightful place. I am happy to cater to any needs that your dog may have. I work from home Monday through Friday, so my schedule is flexible. I am happy to adjust my schedule to fit the needs of your pet(s). I provide care for your pets in your home based on their daily routines and give them all of my love! I can also walk your fur baby or babies for whatever length of time needed. I love cleaning (I’m weird like that 😂) so I will keep your home clean. I am happy to water plants, bring in mail, etc.


7. Sara N.
About: Hello! My name is Sara and I am a healthcare professional in the Twin Cities. Although I love what I do, my true passion is animals! Ever since I was young, l've always gravitated towards animals and had dreams of working with them. Life took me towards another path, but I still have a deep profoundness towards dogs, cats, etc. I have been fostering and volunteering through a local animal rescue since 2021 and am proud to have fostered and adopted out 29 dogs and cats.... and counting! Animals bring me so much joy and adopting my dog last year was one of the best days of my life. Unfortunately, my hospice cat, Sassy, passed away last November after a lengthy battle with kidney disease. I will forever miss her and am grateful to have learned so much in regards to pet ownership through her and my dog, Hank. I am experienced in caring for senior animals, young puppies and kittens, bottle feeding, administering medications, behavior training, and so much more. I’m currently working from home full-time, so I will have plenty of time to cater towards and love on your pet! I am always available to take your dog on as many walks as needed and am home most of the time, so they will rarely ever be alone. I am very flexible with how you would like me to care for your furry friend while you are away. I like to treat all animals that come to my home as if they were my own, but I will always respect your requests as well. I will crate, if necessary, but do allow pets to roam around and be on furniture. I frequently foster other animals and dog sit for friends and family, so your pet would have some company if they enjoy being around other animals! Please let me know if your pet requires specialized care such as medication, training, behavioral support, etc. I have plenty of experience working with medication administration and reactivity in dogs.


8. Jenna J.

“Jenna stepped to help care for my dog Madison when I last minute had to leave town. She went above and beyond to make sure Madison was cared for! Highly recommend and will book her again.”


9. Kayla F.
“Kayla is an amazing person with a big heart for animals! Growing up with three golden retrievers has given her a solid foundation in understanding their needs. She’s currently been using her experience by volunteering at the local animal shelter. She’s very good at balancing love and discipline with all the different pets she encounters. She still walks her own dogs at her childhood home and dog sits quite often so her empty nest parents can go out of town and not have to worry about a thing knowing Archie and Lincoln are in the best possible care!”


10. Paul C.

“Excellent care.”


11. Ciboney R.

“The boys always enjoy spending time with Chiboney. She us very patient with them and always communicates any concerns to me. Pictures 📸 are always sent. I would highly recommend her for your pets and will definitely use her in the future.”


12. Timmothy F.

“Great! We needed a last minute walk. I contacted Timmothy @ 5pm, and soon after he was here to take the doodle for a nice long walk on a frigid winter's eve. I believe they both had a good time. I will contact Timmothy again for future walks. ?????”


13. Rachel E.
“Rachel always takes such good care of our cat while we’re away! She makes sure to get plenty of play time and pets in and sends lots of pictures. She is communicative, professional, and very friendly— our cat warmed up to her very quickly! Highly recommend Rachel for all pet sitting needs!”


14. Erin E.

“Erin responds very promptly and is open with her availability! i have a big german shepherd so im always picky with who i look through to walk him, but she’s amazing. She’s great with dog body language and sensed my pup wanted to go back out real quick and took care of him. I definitely look forward to more walks with her in the future!”


15. Kendall D.
About: I grew up with dogs from as far back as I can remember. I have a 3200 sq ft house on a double lot in North Minneapolis about a five minute drive from North Loop. I earned money through college by dogsitting for years. Dogs have always loved my energy, and I find them easier to understand than people. I work remote, so my schedule is very flexible, and my yard is a full lot next to my house (fully enclosed). I have boarded several dogs over the years at this house, so it’s dog friendly both inside and outside. My dogs also both love peopel and other dogs. I work remotely as an engineer and as an entrepreneur, so my schedule is very flexible as I work out of my house. My dogs are my life, and we love having doggy visitors. I have a fully fenced in yard which is a full second lot next to my house. I own both lots. I have two friendly dogs who love to make friends. Plenty of space for dogs to roam inside and outside as well as plenty of comfortable spots to feel safe. I can crate pets, but crates must be provided. I’m very accommodating, so no request is too weird as long as communication is clear so I fully understand what I need to do.


16. Kristina C.
“Who to leave your 4 legged son with? KRISTINA, that’s who. WHY?? Loved, cuddled, bonded, took him on long walks, short walks and when she left, he looked for her for days. Handled every situation maturely and solved any of Kibas needs effectively. Kristina is a kind, responsible young lady able to cae for any dog. THANK YOU.”


17. Brooke O.
About: Hi loving pet parents! My name is Brooke. I may be new to Rover, but I’m no stranger to pet care and I’m ready to become besties with your pup! I have cared for pets since I was 12-years-old, and I love all dogs, no matter the size, shape, or personality. I've grown up and cared for several breeds - from boxers, to cockapoos, to labs, to frenchies - and I am comfortable taking an energetic pup on a run, or I can be a couch-potato with a dog that loves to cuddle. It's my utmost goal to make your dog feel comfortable, loved, and relaxed while you're away! I work a hybrid-remote job with a flexible schedule. The longest I will be out of the house is 5 hours per day, and I am able to build my schedule around your dogs' needs! I am able to accommodate any routine your pup has, and I will give them all the love they need while you are away. I can easily crate them if needed, or stick to any feeding, exercise, and/or medication schedules you have in place.


18. Braelyn S.

“Braelyn is so communicative and easy to work with! We’re so lucky to have found her. She sends great pics and updates and our puppy does so well with her.”


19. Jodi B.

“Jodi is on her way to becoming our regular dog walker! She is reliable, friendly and she offered to train Lyle to "heel" better. She always sends pictures and updates, and he seems like a happy pup when I get home!”


20. Briana G.
“Bree is so compassionate and responsible with pets! She is a great communicator and takes amazing photos of fur babies. I love my two cats so much, and I wouldn't trust them with just anyone, but I 100% trust them with Bree! I would highly recommend booking with her! You will know your pets are safe and cared for ❤️”
