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.

Madison was great, even with our very skittish dog! Madison worked at it to overcome our pups fears and they were best friends by the time we came home. On top of that, our house was clean and just as we left if. Thank you Madison!

Victoria is amazing! We had her house sit for us for a week and she was very responsive with daily updates and photos. We came home to a clean house & happy animals; would definitely book her again!

I hired Deborah to house sit and care for my senior and young adult dogs and she provided great care for them with love. When I returned from my trip, my home was just as I had left it for Deborah. I will definitely use Deborah again and highly recommend her!

Autumn stayed at our home and took such good care of our pets. She sent daily updates and pictures. Clearly both dogs and both cats loved her. Two thumbs up for Autumn!!

I was able to book Cameron to watch my 4 month old golden retriever, with only a few days notice, and we really lucked out! He brought along his dog Nova for a house sitting evening and we were very pleased. My pup has a great time with both Cameron and Nova and was all tucked in his crate for bed, as instructed, when we got home that night.

Justin was great at communicating and keeping me in the loop about my pups. He was very understanding and flexible when our younger dog, Hila, decided to act out after we left. The dogs were relaxed and happy when I got home. The house was also clean and taken care of. He did a great job and I would definitely have him watch the pups again.

Mary did an amazing job for us! Great communication, plenty of updates and pictures. Not only did she take care of our boy she also tended to our baby chicks! She also took very good care of our home. We hope she will agree to stay with Murphy again in the future.
