Pet Sitting in Apple Valley

“Jaci is so sweet. I knew during our initial meeting that my sweet girl would be loved on during her drop in. I am so thankful to find someone who is as sweet and patient with an elderly dog as Jaci is. I loved seeing the pictures she sent. I will definitely contact Jaci 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!”

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

“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.”

“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! ??”

“Gabrielle did a great job with our furry family. We really enjoyed the loads of pictures and daily updates she did. Our cats really warmed up to her and enjoyed the daily play and snuggles. She tackled the challenge of our chinchillas with great grace. Her calm demeanor put them at ease and I could see they enjoyed the pets she gave them. We feel she really took good care of them while we were gone and would definitely use her again in the future.”

“Thank you again Courtney! Sorry it took us a bit to review and tip, we all came down with Covid after our trip. 😭 But our kitties (and fish!) are happy and healthy and we are so glad they got such great care while we were gone. Thank you!!”

“Eileen loves our dogs like they are her own and they get so excited to see her as well! She watched our two pups for 10 days while we were in Hawaii. During that time she texted us pictures and updates about how they were doing. Eileen has also stopped by our house on several occasions in emergencies when we weren't able to let them out. She is honest, trustworthy, caring and knows how to keep a dog happy. I highly recommend Eileen as a dog sitter to anyone.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Jenny was wonderful. She came and met my dogs and we did a quick run through of their routine and where everything was. My pet sitter fell through very last minute and I only had 48 hours to figure out what to do for our 4 day trip. I had never used any sort of service before. Jenny stayed right on our agreed upon schedule, sent photos each check in, and when I arrived home, my dogs were happy and healthy, my house was as I'd left it and all was well. Will definitely be using Jenny and Rover again for any short trips we take.”

“Jim had good response time and communication. He made the process easy and took care of our dogs with no problems. We have a Newfoundland and he had no issue with large dogs or dealing with our high strung Belgian Shepherd. Jim also did good to give medication twice a day. We would use him again and would recommend him to others.”

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.

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

“Michelle took care of my two elderly cats, one of which needed medication twice a day. Everything went very well and I will book her again if available.”

“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!”

“I was super happy I went with Linnea to cat sit and I definitely recommend. They had great communication and I did not have to worry about anything. Super helpful.”

“Thank you so much for your drop in visits with our Sofia! You always send such a nice update with lots of photos! It is obvious that Sofia enjoys your visits when we are away at work, and it means so much to her and to us.”

“Nicole was so kind to come last minute to take Buddy out and feed him on Easter Sunday! She shared pictures with us and a nice follow up note for her visit!”
