“Jill did an exceptional job with our Ellie! She’s a great communicator & we can feel good about knowing our pup is in good hands. We love everything about having Jill taking care of Ellie either with home visits while we’re away or while Ellie stays at her home! It’s given us such a peace of mind. Thanks Jill & Rover!”

“Heather was our first time using Rover but we will definitely do it again. She was so awesome with our pets and it was so much more comfortable for them then going to a kennel. Definitely recommend her as she did an outstanding job with our pup!”

“Daniel was great. He checked in every day and gave Nala plenty of attention. He was upfront about when he'd be at the house and made me feel comfortable knowing our girl was safe. He went above and beyond.”

About: Growing up my family had dogs in our home as long as I can remember. They have been a sweet addition to our family and a constant in my life. I regularly helped with feeding, grooming, cleaning, and have been a significant part of our dogs' play, providing an environment where each one can thrive. Friends regularly ask me to spend time with their animals (up to 3 weeks) while away both in my home and in their homes. I have also administered medications! I work full time Monday through Thursday, but am highly available Thursday late afternoon through Sunday evenings. I am also typically available Monday events as well! I live on a couple acres in the pine trees, centralized in town, where I have access to trails for walking as well as the bike trail. In my home, I am able to crate your dog or have an enclosed space where they can stretch and move around. I am the only one living in my space, so it is a quiet and restful environment.

“Where do I begin with Simone!! She is AWESOME! She is very flexible as I had to change our meeting from the night before me leaving to the morning OF! I was in the middle of planning / going to my mother's funeral out of town and moving that first appointment took A LOT of stress off me!! Then with Oskar -- Oskar hid when we had the first meet/greet - He has never been away from me ONE night since I got him over two years ago - but while I was gone and Simone sent me the first pictures of Oskar - I knew I could relax and know that my little everything was in GREAT hands and I did not have to worry one bit!! I thank you so much Simone!! I will be calling on you around Thanksgiving if you are available!”

About: I’ve had dogs of all shapes and sizes in my life since I was a young child. I am passionate about the outdoors and exercising dogs to fulfill their needs. I have experience with hunting dogs as well as couch potatoes. I love them all equally. I work remote Mondays and Fridays. I have the capacity to come home on lunch during the week, if needed. I am flexible and open to varying schedules, let’s connect! Our friendly and energetic Brittany, named Boone, has his own detached shed and kennel to stay if we are welcoming any shy friends. Any visiting friends will have access to our home if they are needing to be separated. We have an acre of unfenced yard and are passionate about exercising furry friends in need.

About: My lifelong passion for animals began as a child with my family's cat and guinea pigs. When I was 10, I took on the responsibility of caring for my Shiba Inu, Mia. I dedicated myself to her training, teaching her numerous commands like "sit" and "stay," and I gained invaluable experience with a breed known for its temperament. I am experienced in administering oral medications and tick/lice preventatives. As a teenager, I adopted a cat and continued to build my experience by volunteering at a local humane society and caring for a neighbor's dog. Friends and family have also relied on me for house and cat sitting. I am pursuing my Master's degree in education, which gives me a very flexible and adaptable schedule. Pet care on Rover is one of my priorities, so I have plenty of availability for your pet. I am available for overnight sits, walks, and drop-in visits on weekdays and weekends, and I carefully manage my schedule to ensure I have quality time for every booking. I split my time between Alexandria and the Twin Cities, and my calendar is always kept up to date for my availability in each location. I provide pet care in your home and not in my own, as I do not offer boarding or day care services. This allows your pet to stay in their familiar, safe environment, which I believe is best for their comfort. I am very organized and reliable, and I will strictly follow all of your instructions regarding feeding, medicine, and routines. You can trust that I will treat your home with the utmost respect and provide constant communication, including photo updates, to ensure your peace of mind while you are away.

About: I live in a happy chaos-filled home with one very social pup, two energetic kiddos, and a whole lot of love (and dog hair). If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat for your pet… well, I can’t promise that. But if your dog loves playtime, belly rubs, and beach days? You’ve found the right spot! We live just steps away from a park and spend most of our summer outdoors. Long walks, sniffari adventures, and sunny snoozes in the grass are kind of our thing. I am fortunate to have a full time position that allows for a lot of flexibility. I am not constrained to typical 9-5 office hours, so midday treat breaks are always an option! I am big on nutrition and exercise. i think it’s important to get your pets out and active. i care for pets the way i care for children, lots of cuddles and love and even more time to play.

About: I have always loved all animals big and small since I was very young. I worked at petco for nearly two years where I learned so much about animal care and behavior. I am mostly always always available Monday - Friday all hours. If pet care is need on weekends I can be available with further notice. I am available to watch animals in others homes as I am a renter. I have a super friendly 5 year old Eurohound that loves to play. We go to the dog park multiple times a day, so if your dog needs a buddy we can make that work.

About: I have been very involved in a humane society. I’ve worked with cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, backgrounds, temperaments, and health issues! I currently have two cats but grew up with a dog and help watch my sister’s puppy many times. I’ve helped babysit many cats and dogs over the course of my life. I’m respect other's belongings, property, and (of course) pets. I have no issues going to a your home to take care of your beloved pets, take them on walks, administer medication, going vet or grooming appointments, or just spending time with them. I do not work on Thursdays or weekends. Those days would be very flexible time wise. I can be a morning person and a night owl. Since I have worked with so many animals, I understand that some pets take time to warm up. While many are outgoing and friendly, some need more time to smell you and hear your voice. Reading body language is important and being aware when an animal might be stressed is essential. My cats like attention on their terms, and that’s okay. They come to me when they want the attention. I’m happy to work with pets at whatever pace makes them most comfortable.

“Sophie was outstanding! Highly recommend!”

About: Growing up on a farm, I took care of many animals from a young age- cats, dogs, horses, rabbits and chickens. As an adult, I have always had an animal and love taking care of friends and family's pets. I've taken care of puppies, kittens and senior dogs as well and can provide them all the love and attention they deserve I'm currently working part-time, and have time to play with your pups and cats! Whether it's an early morning walk, evening let out or taking care of your fur baby in your home while you're away- they'll be in good hands. I am happy to come to your home and care for your pet while you're away. I love taking walks so they can stretch those legs, feel comfortable crating animals if that's their routine and happily can play fetch with them in the backyard.

About: I have lots of experience with all types of dogs. I grew up in the country taking care of dogs, babysat dogs for family friends, and now have a dog of my very own. I am currently working part-time, I am a kindergarten teacher so I have most of the summer off. During the school year I will work 7:30-3 but can still care for your dog as I give them lots of attention before and after work. I also have a boyfriend who will be with them before and after work giving them extra potty breaks and playtime since we work different hours. On the weekends I would be home with them the entire time! I would love to keep there schedule as close to what there used to as possible. I do have a 110lb German shepherd so would only take dogs who are good with other dogs. My dog LOVES to play with other dogs. I live on 30 Acres of farm land and a long drive way away from the road so there is plenty of room for your dog to run and play. I also have a huge cage inside and a kennel outside If that what’s your dog is used to. We can also talk about leashes if you prefer they are on a leash! We would do lots of outside activities, including walks and fetch. Your dog is allowed on my furniture if that’s what they are used to at home!

About: i've been taking care of my own animals since i was a child, That helped me to be responsible and create habits of care until now, i know how to bath animals, I love playing with them and spending time with them that fills my heart with a lot of joy. i have time to take care of pets and play with them on my weekends or even make them a walk plan, thats my day shifts on pet care for night shifts I am free at night mostly from friday to sunday since it is comfortable for me to have everything more organized. I take care of the animals in the apartment in different ways, they will never be caged or chained in my care, I have a playroom for animals and I usually take them out to the courtyard of the building at certain times to walk and relieve themselves. Also the pet I take care of will be accompanied by my little kitten which is very friendly
