House Sitting in Minnetrista

We adopted both our dogs, in our new home, in a new city - just about a year before the 2020 lockdown started. Since then - I have continued to work from home - and my dogs are pretty much never left alone. We have even brought them with me when I have traveled...which was a bit much. For this trip, I reached out through Rover which I have used before in other cities- and it has always been great. Because my dogs were not used to being home alone for extended periods of time, I really wanted someone who could housesit them. I put my request in about a month before my trip - and was surprised at how many responses I received right away. Katie responded that she was available - AND could have a "meet and greet" the very day I put the request in. We set it up a few hours later – and I met her (and her two kids – which at first I thought was I little odd - her daughter – maybe around 11 and her son maybe around 5-6?). But honestly, you could tell that Katie is really together and her kids are really cool...so that “meet and greet” with the kids actually made me trust her even more. A few days before our trip – Katie came over and we went through everything – easy breezy. And then during our trip she sent us texts/pics/updates – and I knew our house and our puppers were in great hands. Katie is the first person I would contact if I had to find a dog sitter again – she is awesome! Thanks Katie!!!

Ashley did a wonderful job taking care of our dog for the weekend. She was timely, gave us updates through the weekend, gave our dog the care we were looking for.

Elaine is our favorite dog sitter! She has a huge heart for animals, is always responsive, and leaves our house cleaner than we left it. ❤️ 🐶

Loved having Gabrielle stay at our house for the week, looking after our two crazy Frenchies! The house was as we left it and the boys were well taken care of. Her communication was great throughout the week. Planning on having her again!

Cassidy watched our puppy Phoenix for the weekend and updated us with how he was doing and photos! We will for sure use Cassidy for dog sitting in the future!

Kayden did a great job! The pets were happy and the house tidy! I would highly recommend her for house sitting and pet sitting.

Jillian did a great job taking care of our dogs!

Tyler did very well house sitting with our pups while we were gone last weekend. He was compassionate and responsive. He sent us several pictures of our dogs to let us know that they were happy and well cared for! We already booked him again for our next trip away.

Autumn is hands-down the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. She stayed in our home with our two dogs, Frank and Larry, and treated them like her own. We received thoughtful and informative updates, adorable photos, and could tell that the boys were happy, relaxed, and incredibly loved the entire time. She followed our routine perfectly, noticed when Larry needed extra care, handled everything with total professionalism, and went above and beyond — including carrying both dogs outside in the snow to make sure they were comfortable. 🥹 We came home to calm, content pups and a house exactly as we left it. Leaving your pets is hard… leaving them with Autumn felt easy. We would book her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for a truly exceptional sitter.

Kelly is phenomenal! She did a long weekend stay with our 16-week old puppy and took such good care of her. Puppies are a handful to begin with, but ours ended up getting sick while we were gone and Kelly adjusted our pup’s feeding and medication schedule (with our input, of course!) to get our girl back on the right path to feeling better. Our puppy was happy and already feeling much better by the time we got home. Lots of great communication and pictures/videos while we’re were gone, too! We’d 100000% recommend Kelly if you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur babies :)

Kristen took care of my 2 Goldendoodles, Leo and Finn, in my home for 4 nights. She did an outstanding job. Her daily communications and pictures of the dogs were perfect and made my vacation worry free. She had to deal with the bitter cold weather and made sure the dogs were not outside too long. I highly recommend Kristen to anyone who needs a dog sitter. I will definitely want her to take care of my dogs again the next time I go on vacation.

This is our third time having Sammy watch our pup. She is always professional, diligent and goes way above and beyond to make sure both the animal in her care as well as the owners are extremely well cared for. I can’t recommend Sammie enough.

Cory is very responsible. He takes very good care of the dogs and stays in touch. I really appreciate how he takes the role seriously and does it so well.

Amyah took care of Tucker for 1.5 days while we had a quick trip out of town. She was willing to meet ahead of time for a brief meet-n-greet to get acquainted. During the booking, Amyah kept in touch with pictures and messages, which was appreciated. Thanks Amyah!
