House Sitting Aggasiz-Harvard

“Caitlin was super communicative and sent pictures! She didn't hesitate to reach out with questions to ensure she provided the best care for Winnie!”

About: I worked at a humane society and worked with many dogs of all sizes and breeds. Helped to socialize them; took them for walks/hikes, went for car rides, got them comfortable being outdoors. I also dog sat for friends and family throughout the years. Very comfortable with giving medications and taking care of special needs dogs (grew up with a dog that required seizure medication and had frequent seizures). As a college student I have a fairly flexible schedule. My weekends are completely free and I have more than a couple hours free during the weekday in the mornings and evenings (as well as some time during the middle of the day if I’m not in class). I grew up in a home where dogs were family members. We were very comfortable with them being indoor and outdoor pets. We would go for hikes, walks/runs (was fairly active to help the dogs release their energy) and would also relax together indoors. Will crate as needed for dog and family comfort or will just hang out on a sofa and read a book for company for the pet. Since I’m used to caring for a high maintenance dog that required special attention, I can clean up accidents and administer medications if needed (with lots of approved treats)

“Darby was wonderful with our senior pup! She was right on time to both our meet and greet and hand-off, she kept us updated with Kaylee’s day-to-day, and our space was spotless when we returned to a very happy and well cared-for dog!”

“Jess was the best Dogsitter I’ve ever had the luck of booking. She was available pretty last minute, was super responsive and available every time I asked her anything. She took fantastic care of my two big dogs while I was off for the weekend getting married! Jess managed everything on her own, she tired them out every day and patiently fed them even though Kayla’s a picky eater. Throughout I was too busy to pay attention to our chats but she still sent all kinds of pictures and updates. Really couldn’t recommend Jess more!!!”

“Alice is a wonderful puppy sitter and took great care of our golden puppy. There was exceptional communication throughout the entire process, she was very kind and accommodating, and we knew our pup was in good hands with her. We would love to work with her again in future and would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Brianna watched my dog Charlie this week for the second time, and she did an outstanding job! Brianna is highly reliable, communicative, and responsible, and left my apartment very clean. I give her my highest recommendation!”

About: While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for pets. I’ve had two cats for the past 4 years and have pet sat for friends and family when they’ve needed help. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow whatever routine and instructions help you and your pet feel most comfortable. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. I work full-time (6am-2pm) as a scientist, so I’m generally available for afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. My schedule can be flexible though to accommodate for early morning visits. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they need before accepting a booking. I use Rover myself so I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable until you’re back. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.

“We’ve booked with Laine several times now and she is so great with our hyper Australian Shepherd! Very communicative with us and keeps us at ease while we are traveling.”

About: I have been a dog owner my entire life and come from a family of animal lovers. I have worked with my own dogs to train them and to build trust and understanding, and am comfortable adapting my approach to fit the animal’s needs and the preferences of the pet’s family! I’m committed to competent care-taking informed by the animal’s needs. My experience: Worked as a pet sitter for the dogs, cats, and small animals like guinea pigs and hamsters of family friends for about 3 years; Volunteered as a caretaker for birds at the Minnesota Wildlife Rehabilitation Center for 1 year; Acted as a foster family for a dalmation/whippet mix for 2 months; Have been a dog-walker and pet-sitter with Rover since 2020. I’m happy to schedule visits and walks on certain weekdays and any weekend. I’m able to work remotely, but will need to plan around, which is why I request at least 3 days notice for any booking or change of plans. I am a big fan or midday and evening walks, and would be happy to have an animal companion with me for them! My approach is to create a stable routine and clear boundaries for any pets in my care. I am adaptable for what the space demands and based on the animal’s familiarity with a situation, for example being in a new space versus being in their primary home. I am cautious and considerate about the disposition of the pet I’m in charge of, so I will always try to avoid putting them in a situation they are not comfortable with or that has too many variables for me to respond to safely.

“Lelani is amazing and went beyond our expectations to love on Cash! She sends the most amazing updates with photos and loved ones our boy so much. It made having to be away so much easier. She left our place spotless, which was a surprising plus.”

“We were so lucky to have found Kristen to watch our two rambunctious mixed large breed dogs, one of which is a 6 month old puppy! She was very punctual, responsible, and took great care of our pups and we’d love to have her watch them again. :)”

“Eveline saved us with a last minute booking before New Year’s Eve! We were relieved she could help us out again on short notice, as we really enjoyed the experience of working with her (per the other review!)”

Jeff F.

“So amazing! Perfect pet sitter. Would recommend a million times over.”

Marsha L.

“We had a fantastic experience with Nicole! She was incredibly communicative from start to finish — always quick to respond and kept us updated with regular photos and messages. Nicole was punctual, reliable, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. Our pup instantly warmed up to her, and it was clear they were in great hands the whole time. She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog. It was such a relief knowing our pet was being cared for by someone so friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. We’d absolutely book with Nicole again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter”

“Tam was an absolutely fabulous sitter. She stayed with our dog over the Christmas holidays and took wonderful care of him — she took him on long walks, played with him at home, and made sure he was well looked after. She also kept us up to date every day to give us a peace of mind. I cannot recommend her highly enough — she was a true joy to have look after our dog, and we’ll make sure to book her again when we’re out of town next!”

Jon J.

“Adrien watched our pup again for the weekend while we were away. She stayed at our house, took great care of our dog, sent lots of photos. When we got home our house was clean and our dog looked well cared for! Highly recommend Adrien!”

Lacey M.

“Ria did a wonderful job taking care of our dog for a week. A lot of updates and Alfred seemed very happy when we got back home. Would book again!”

Ida H.

“Anna took wonderful care of our puppy Semmie while we were away. She was clearly attentive and gentle with her. Semmie was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for the whole time. Anna also communicated really well throughout, and she even took the initiative to come by beforehand to meet Semmie and get to know her before the sit started, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s obvious Anna genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. We felt completely at ease knowing Semmie was in such good hands, and we’ll definitely be booking Anna again for future pet sitting!”

“My cats loved Maddie! She did a great job of sending us updates and taking care of them when we were out on vacation. They are typically very shy but they warmed up to her very easily. She maintained our place really well in our absence.”

Samata K.

“This was my first time being away from my 10 month old blue heeler mix. As he is still a puppy he can be a handful and is still a work in progress with commands. Andrew did a great job, sent daily updates, and put my mind at ease. I will definitely be rebooking. He was also accommodating to a short notice schedule change. Thanks Andrew!”
