“Both of our cats, even the shy one, were easily won over by Traci. She clearly loves animals and understands the pet owners worry about their fur babies. Traci's communications, including pictures, were very reassuring and much appreciated. Next time I need a sitter I will definitely check Traci's availability.”


“Michael, is fantastic. He was very communicative and even offered to grab packages while we were out of town. He sent photos from all visits and was diligent about cleaning the cat boys box and ensuring that they were fed separately due to dietary requirements. We will absolutely be working with him again A+. Thank you for an awesome experience!”


“Jennifer had great communication and was always sure to send photos of the kitties during her visits. She was even able to get my shy kitties to come out for treats 🥰”


“Travis was wonderful and did a great job with our cat. He sent photo updates every day and was patient with our very shy girl. Highly recommend Travis!”


“Gabriela did a fantastic job with our senior cat while we were away. Our cat is very sensitive and we were worried about leaving him but returned home to find him well cared for and very content. Gabriela kept us feeling at ease with daily updates and was easy to communicate with from the start. We had an excellent experience with Gabriela and absolutely recommend her!”


“Samantha did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Molly! She was so friendly and really cared about Molly’s well-being. She sent us updates with pictures, which made us feel so much better while we were away. When we got back, Molly was happy and relaxed, which shows how great Samantha is. We’re super grateful and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”


About: I’ve worked with everything from playful puppies to laid-back cats and curious kittens. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I make sure your pets stay comfortable and happy in their routine. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just company, I’ve got it covered! 🐾 Currently a student a St. Thomas but am usually free Friday through Sunday for sitting and week days for walks! I will become free everyday of the week in the summer. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I keep things low stress for them and always clean up after myself.

About: Hi! I’m Leah, I’m a stay at home mom. I have a 14,9 and almost 2 year old. I live in Stillwater and have a cavapoo dog (Toby) and a black haired cat (Sasha). I know the worry that comes with having a stranger watching your fur babies as they are family but rest assured that they will be right at home with us! As I mentioned I’m a stay at home mom so they will not be alone and they will be absolutely well taken care of! My older kids are a huge help and love to play with the fur babies! I live in a very safe neighborhood near multiple parks. Walks will be a given unless instructed otherwise. If need be we have a crate to separate or give space if needed.

“Denise was amazing and I really appreciate everything she did for our cat during our vacation. In the beginning, I was a bit uncomfortable with the idea of using the app; but I am glad I decided to use it. Denise helped us be at ease and comfortable when we met her, she also helped me navigate the app and made things so much easier for me. She was very throughout and caring with our cat and made his stay alone less lonely. We are definitely calling Denise for future times away. We had the peace of mind we needed knowing that our cat was taken care of during our time away from home. Thank you very much Denise for helping us.”

About: I’ve worked at multiple doggy day cares near Forest Lake MN and I have 2 dogs of my own! I love all animals and treat them like my own! I’m a college student who needs to make more money than what I’m currently making and I’m pretty available Monday through Friday depending on the times! My dogs are walked everyday and played with all the time! I understand the time it takes to care for a dog or cat and so I’m very patient with them.

“Alexa has been amazing and make sure our Zacky was 100% taken care of.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole entire life. I’ve trained 2 of my own dogs, basic training: sit, stay, wait for food, release. I also volunteer at a dog shelter often. I am working part time at a nursing home. I work Tuesday’s and Thursday’s from 2pm -10pm, every other Sunday from 2pm-10pm, and every other Monday from 4pm-8pm I love to give them the love and attention they need, whether that’s taking them on walk, playing around, feeding, and training them. I will make sure they are well behaved on walks, by politely keep them walking, and steer them away from other dogs and humans if possible.

About: I love dogs no matter the size or personality! I have walked dogs of all different breeds, I am currently fostering a dog in college trying to find him a forever home! If your dog needs to go for more of a run then walk that is no problem I love going on runs with them. If you choose me to walk your dog they will get the energy out and be ready and cuddly for when you get home! This summer I will be available on Thursdays and Fridays for what ever your pet needs, whether its drop in visits or a good walk to stretch their legs or get some energy. I also have a cat that I love dearly and would be more than happy to stop in and take care of what ever your cat needs. I have a good sized yard that isn't completely fenced in but a stake in the ground would do the trick. There aren't that many other dogs in my neighborhood which would be a perk if your pet didn't care for other animals.

About: While I don't have traditional professional experience, I would often pet sit for my neighbors growing up. I love animals, and I look forward to helping take care of yours! I have a flexible job. I have plenty of time in the evenings (or on weekends) to stop by and check in on your fur babies or take them for walks! When I'm checking on your pets I'll make sure to follow any instructions you've left and also make sure that your pets seem happy and healthy. If you're ok with it, my kids might come with to give some extra love and attention. We would, of course, discuss this first!

“Would highly recommend Carissa. Very sweet and great with our dogs. Our dogs have never been left with anyone besides family. She stayed in contact with me the entire time we were gone. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing our dogs were in caring hands.”


About: I have lived with a dog consistently for the last 23 years. All of my dogs have come from rescue's which means I am familiar with dogs who have anxiety, trust issues, reactive behavior, slow to warm up, etc. I am an elementary school teacher who has the majority of my summer free. In July, I will not be available in the mornings, because I will be teaching summer school. I care for pets in others homes by slowly entering, allowing them to sniff me first, saying hello in a calm voice, and getting down on their level.

“Heavin was awesome to work with when I had to go to the hospital to have my baby and she came and took care of our dog on short notice, keeping him calm while we worked to bring home our new family member! ♥️”


About: I am a dog lover. I have had 4 dogs in my life. I also used to own a cat. One of my dogs had 12 puppies. I have experience from puppies to older dogs. I have dog sat before from the weekends to almost a month. Right now I have a Siberian Husky. I also am a dog groomer, I know a lot about different dog breeds. Also in the past I have dog siting for friends and co workers. I have had a privilege to work with different breeds , ages and backgrounds. I will also be offering dog grooming to dog sitting. I can’t wait to love on your pets and give them the best care! Currently , I am open and have a bunch of openings for dog sitting. I am available Monday - Sunday. I am also adding dog grooming to my services while I dog sit if you would like. Also during my dog sitting, I will be offering grooming for your pets. I won't be offering in-home boarding at this time. When it comes to safety within your home, I follow whatever safety plan you have in place and would make sure to ask you if your dog is a runner and what you generally do to keep your dog safe in your home, if that's crating them when you're not there or ensuring all food is put up if you have a counter surfer like we do. When I house sit I obey the rules that the owners have left out in just in case the dogs have a routine. I have also taken care of dogs with out staying at the house. To me, it’s not just about the feeding and walking the dog but it’s about having fun in a loving and caring environment.

About: I have essentially grown up with dogs my whole life. I love animals and dogs are my favorite animal. I currently have a Bernese Mountain dog and a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, but I've had 4 dogs total. I have taken them to training sessions and took my Toller to agility lessons as well. I have experience house sitting and pet sitting for my neighbors and friends (up to 5 dogs at once). Additionally, very active with animal volunteering with roles at Pet Haven Co., Coco's Heart Dog Rescue, and currently, the Hawaiian Humane Society. I'm a college student back for the summer with a lot of free time. Looking to get as many gigs as I can and I love taking care of animals. I'm a great planner and my availability is set for the rest of the time I'm back so I can definitely work with you if you have any specific requests. I'm flexible and have a car for reliable and timely transportation. Looking forward to meeting with you! I am free to go to people's homes and take care of their pets from feeding them, letting them out, playing, and taking them on walks. I am also familiar with most household chores and would contribute to maintaining cleanliness and organization in the house. I will require all the information needed up front and anything important listed. I insist upon a meet and greet beforehand, even if it's brief, to ensure that the pet and their family are a good fit for my services. My availability is very important for me to assess as I will not take on any jobs that I know I can't commit 100% to. Feel free to ask any questions you may have!

“Martha was super! The pets loved her, and she took fantastic care of them. We are fairly new to Rover and have such great experiences so far. We look forward to rebooking with Martha!”

An Li A.
“I would definitely recommend An Li. She is a natural with animals, very detailed and also a very nice person! We have known her for years and have witnessed her with her own dogs. She would watch our three dogs when we went out of town. She always did a great job, even going the extra mile during a thunderstorm, knowing that our dog Finn gets very nervous during storms. I wish she still lived close to us so we could use her on a regular basis.”
