Pet Sitting in Apple Valley

“Our first time using Jaci and she was wonderful! We needed someone last minute and she helped us out! Even tho we couldn’t meet before hand, I felt totally comfortable having her in our home to take care of our girls! Will definitely use her again!”

“Renee was fantastic with our puppy, Penny. She was reliable and left detailed notes about each visit. Penny looked forward to her visits while we were at work!”

“Tom took great care of Henry! Great detailed updates, and really attentive to making sure he knew what we were asking for. Even braved the below zero weather to get him some exercise!”

“Michelle is prompt and very loving with our two dogs, Clove (4 year old terrier mix rescue) and Roger (1.5 year old GSD). It’s clear that our dogs are comfortable with her and really want to get to know her as they beg for pets and attention when she arrives. Our dogs are truly our children and Michelle completely understands which we greatly appreciate. We are so happy to have found Michelle on Rover and we can’t wait to continue having her over with our pups! ??”

“Vanessa did a great job! Would have her back anytime!”

“Claire was super awesome for dropping in and hanging with our families cat and dog. Our dog has some separation anxiety but warmed up to Claire immediately and made us feel super comfortable knowing we had her to walk and hang with Zoe. Great communication and prompt visits! Definitely recommend!”

“Magen was incredibly helpful. She made us feel much more comfortable leaving town. She gave our cats lots of love and attention and made sure their litter boxes were clean and that they got their treats. Leaving us updates and pictures after each visit.”

“Our second booking with Courtney and she went above and beyond! Our cats loved having her stop by and my kids loved seeing the updates while on vacation. Thanks again!”

“Gabrielle was fantastic! She took care of both my cats (one being a diabetic) for a weekend. My shy cat liked her, which is a feat in itself. She took a bunch of photos and always gave me a nice update regarding them.”

About: There is a reason "dog" is "god" spelled backward! ***PLEASE CONFIRM YOU HAVE READ MY PROFILE BEFORE MESSAGING! Thank you! :)*** I melt around any dog I meet and have owned various dogs for 20 years. When driving through the neighborhood, I can't help but yell "Puppy!" when I see someone walking their dog on the sidewalk. I owned a dog for 12 years and he had passed right before Covid shut down. Since then, I've fostered over 30 different dogs of various breeds, sizes and temperaments. I have also been professionally training dogs for two years. My training methods use positive reinforcement with a touch of love. At home, I have a variety of treats and toys, elevated bowls for the larger doggos, puzzle feeder for "vacuum dogs," 48" kennel, blankets, a ramp for climbing into the car (for senior dogs or dogs with weak joints), and agility equipment (for dogs with strong joints). With these experiences, I feel I am more than qualified to serve you and your dog in giving it the care it needs. ****I work OUTSIDE the home full time**** Hiring me is like hiring your dog's next best friend. Take comfort in knowing all of your dog's needs will be met. Your dog will enjoy food, walks, and endless snuggles as we bond. Meanwhile, you will be free to go to work, vacations, or a night on the town, without worrying whether Fido needs a potty break. Hope to hear from you soon! ****I work full time 8 hours during the week. *** I am available all day most weekends and holidays. My schedule can be flexible to your needs. When picking up your dog for a walk, I take the time to allow the dog to get to know me. Trust is highly important to a dog to ensure the new person is no threat to the home or the pack. This is particularly true for territorial dogs. I will often bring treats to gain its trust, moving slowly and speaking softly. When dog-sitting, I create a welcoming environment, with many toys and blankets to snuggle on. I have potty pads, treats, a fireplace, everything a doggo needs to be comfortable. I have also used music to help soothe a dog.

“Michelle has been great to work with! She was responsive and open to my questions, and helpful in communication. I look forward to working with her again!”

“Thanks again for the drop by!!!!! :)))”

“Stephanie did a great job checking on my pets! She sent me tons of pictures which I appreciated. Very clear comment between her and. It was my first time leaving them and I was completely comfortable.”

“James took great care of our dog while we were gone for a week with drop in visits and walks and feedings. He’s a great communicator and very responsive. Everyone was happy! We have had James care for our dog before, and we will seek him out again because he’s friendly and reliable and takes good care of our dog!”

“Erin is an exceptional pet sitter! For my first experience using Rover she eased all of my concerns and is great with communication. My cat enjoyed the check ins which was evident in Erin’s detailed notes and pictures.”

“Sophie was a totally unexpected blessing for our family. 🙏 Although she was asked to do drop-in visits for our cat, Smudgie, she went above and beyond her required duties. Sophie actually CARED for our cat. She held him, pet him, loved him, and our Smudgie does not attach to people easily. We were so worried about him being alone, but Sophie kept us updated about his behavior, how much he was eating and drinking, and even cleaned up when he made messes with his kitty litter and water, which he often does. She was flexible about dates to stop by, and stayed in constant contact. We will ask for Sophie anytime we are out of the country and need care for our pets because she gave him the more than just food and water, she provided the love he was missing while we were away, which gave us peace of mind. ♥️ We highly recommend her. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Ally is absolutely wonderful! Lola is a pill with other people but Ally made her feel comfortable and more importantly we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation!”

“Allison is amazing. This was my first time using rover and she exceeded my expectations. I loved getting daily updates and I knew my kitties were in good hands!”

“Chris was the best. I have a senior dog with some health problems and was so nervous to leave her. Chris was wonderful. She came when expected, did everything I asked for, and sent the best photos of their time together. I highly recommend her and look forward to using her services again!”

“We had Michaela come for a drop-in visit the day of my sister’s wedding. She was great—we received several photos and a detailed update during her visit. Our dog was happy to be let out and played with while we were gone for the day!”
