“Sydney was exceptional and very communicative. I had worries about using Rover but she laid those worries to rest. I would definitely use Sydney again!”

“Megan was awesome with my boys and worked around my crazy schedule at the beginning of the booking! She’s very detail oriented and ensures everything is done right. I’m very grateful I found her and would recommend her to everyone!”

About: As a mom of two cats, a trusted cat-sitter to friends, and an animal lover my whole life, I’m so excited to meet your pet! I grew up around dogs and cats, and am comfortable caring for all cats, and small/ medium dogs. I’m always going to look out for your pet and their best interest — and through my own experience being a pet owner for 3+ years and growing up with pets, I know I have the skills, knowledge and compassion to become your new favorite sitter! I won’t just stop by to feed, scoop litter, or walk — I’ll give your pet lots of love, playtime, and care tailored to their routine and needs. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always be respectful of your space. You’ll get lots of updates (with many photos!), and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for medications, feeding, or quirky habits your pet may have! You can relax knowing your pets are in loving, capable hands. I work from home twice/week on Tuesdays and Fridays — so can stick around for longer visits those days to keep your furry friend company! On the other week days, I work in the office but have the flexibility in my day to come before or after work for potty breaks, walks, or anything you may need! Whether you’re going on vacation or have a lot going on during the week, I’m happy to help. I know every pet has their own personality, and I will take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Molly did a great job caring for our two cats! She sent us pictures and a message after every visit. She was very quick to respond to our messages and communicated very clearly. She even washed the cat's food dishes when she was all done! We will definitely contact her again in the future.”

“Anne did a terrific job of taking care of our two cats while we were out of town. Above and beyond the usual tasks of feeding them and cleaning out the litter box, she played with them, brushed them, and took cute pictures of them. We could tell from the pictures that they were happy while we were away, and could tell right away when we got home that they had been well cared for while we were gone. We'd definitely hire Anne again.”

“Teresa was great! Easy to communicate with and followed everything wonderfully - that too with puppies! Would definitely look to have her watch the babies again!”

“Krista is a phenomenal sitter who takes great care of my sweet girl while I’m away. They send lots of updates and photos, and is very accommodating when it comes to key exchanges! I will be booking with them again:)”

“Abigail was wonderfully communicative and attentive to all the details of my cats’ care! I’m so glad I could rely on her to check in with my cats and care for them while I was away! I would be delighted to have Abigail care for my kitties again in the future!”

“Dawn provided some additional help for my partner and me while I was out of the country for a week, and she was a dream. She took such good care of my little old lady and was so flexible and sweet. I loved getting the updates and photos from her daily drop-ins. It helped put me at ease that even though she had a little bit of a tough time with me being gone, my pup was in great hands. Will definitely ask her to care for Penny again!”

“Laura responded to my drop-in visit request quickly and was flexible on the meet-up day when I asked if we could reschedule due to the rain. I could tell as soon as she met my Sam that she is great with dogs and I appreciated the info she shared with me about other dogs she's watched.”


“We have some difficult to manage cats and Lucia does great with all of them! She was also willing and able to water our plants while we were gone which I really appreciated!”

“Sarah takes great care of my kitties! I really appreciate her flexibility with my changing travel plans, and I will definitely be rebooking with her for my next trip!!”

“Olivia was amazing with my year old GSP. She was punctual, friendly and enthusiastic during the initial meet and greet. Afterwards, she was always on time and even stayed a few minutes past the allocated 30 minute session just to make sure my pups needs were met. I highly recommend her for any of your pet watching needs.”

About: Ever since I was young, neighbors, friends, and family have entrusted me to take care of their pets. I grew up with dogs and cats, and have experience with puppies, kittens, and senior pets, as well as birds, lizards, you name it! I now have a puppy of my own, Moozy, who quickly became my best friend. I currently work from home, part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! I'm available throughout the day, most days, over lunch or in the afternoon to provide walks and play. I am available for boarding in a limited capacity, and also provide services by staying overnight at the clients' house if that's what you'd prefer. I live in an apartment, but provide regular walks and stimulation to my own puppy. We also have a large fenced in area at my apartment where dogs are encouraged to run, explore, and play! I am also open to staying over at clients' houses to provide care.
About: I am a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for large breeds, especially strong, energetic pups like German Shepherds, Huskies, and other working breeds. I’m comfortable and confident handling dogs who need a calm, steady leader — including those who may be reactive to other dogs, people, or environmental triggers. I also have experience caring for dogs with special medical needs. I have experience applying ointmnets, eye drops, and adminitering pills and liquid medicines. I understand that cats have unique personalities and routines, and I’m comfortable with everything from feeding schedules and litter box care to administering medications and giving space to shy or independent cats. I provide calm, attentive care and make sure every pet feels safe, respected, and comfortable in their own home while you’re away. I like to be transparent when I take care of other peoples fur babies and will often share updates via text with added videos and photos of the time I spend with your pet, as well as time stamped detail of feeding, playtime, and potty updates. Pet care is a planned and consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I organize my schedule to ensure I have dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, play, and companionship without feeling rushed. I build in flexibility to accommodate different pet needs, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends when needed. Because I plan my time carefully, I’m able to be reliable, punctual, and fully present for every pet in my care. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. In my client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and medications are handled exactly as instructed. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any behavioral or medical needs. For dogs, I focus on safe, structured walks, positive reinforcement, and calm handling. For cats, I provide attentive care while respecting their boundaries, keeping their environment clean, and offering affection at their comfort level. I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and leave detailed updates so pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with Lily and providing her care. She was always on time, played and walked Lily, and sent great pictures! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or to rebook her. Great experience!”

“Peter cared for our 3 large dogs with no hesitation! He was a great communicator and very flexible with our schedule. We would definitely trust him to come back any time!”


About: Ever since I can remember I have had dogs to love and care for in my home. I have a fenced in yard so for stays easy to quick let outside. I work from home so I have great flexibility of getting out with your dog. Walks, runs, snuggles I’ve worked will all dogs from just 8 weeks old to an old man that just needed some love. If you are comfortable I can take your dog on hikes with me, rollerblade/run with them or just take them for walks! I can't wait to meet your dog and get to love and snuggle them while you're away. I work from home so have plenty of flexibility for walks and getting out. I tend to also like a morning walk and evening walk myself so would be even better with a furry friend! I’m very loving and attentive to your pet! They can hang out with me in my home, and have plenty of walk breaks. Happy to work from your home as well.
Bottineau pet parents share their Rover experiences
Laura is absolutely amazing! She took care of our 2 cats while we were overseas for our wedding and honeymoon. She will be our go to going forward whenever we need someone to watch our fur babies. Her attention to details, care for animals, and lovely personality cannot be beat. I highly recommend Laura to watch anyone’s pets!

Phenomenal care from Michayla. I had to last minute book because a previous sitter canceled. Michayla was able to jump in with less than a day’s notice and went above and beyond with taking care of my boys. She was proactive in problem solving when noticing small but important things like one of my cats not eating enough of their dry food and recommending adding some wet food while she was there. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality sitter that will truly care for your fur babies.

Sara was the best sitter we’ve ever had. She truly went above and beyond! She provided top quality care for our cats and was so attentive. It was such a relief knowing they were being so well cared for while we were away. Will definitely work with Sara again for future pet sitting needs!
