“Wonderful experience! Ruby was amazing with our two shy boxers. She stopped by everyday on time and even went above and beyond when she noticed our chickens had run out of water! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter.”

“I feel like Chewy is in good hands with Liz and truly believe Liz likes Chewy. We will always use her when we need a Rover. Plus anytime you want to come over and say hi to him, you are more than welcome”


“Shaelie was amazing once again. She is so attentive and patient with my bunny, always communicating well and takes lots of photos which I love. I know my bunny enjoys her visits while I am away.”

“We felt so comfortable leaving our cats with Dawn while we went away for a long weekend. She was incredibly accommodating of our asks and was great with our boys. We will definitely be hiring her again!”

About: I’ve been around and taken care of pets since I was a child. I have experience with animals with health issues as well, so that’s no problem! I also volunteered at the Morrison County Humane Society in high school. I’m a college student during the school year and do not have a full time job. I pick up hours as the weeks go on, so pet care is a perfect opportunity to let me be productive while also loving it. I will not care for animals in my home as I live in an apartment complex. I will gladly come to your home and travel within my area.
“Highly recommend Kaitlin for caring for your pet(s)! She is very prompt to respond to requests, very dependable, very interactive with our dogs when she is at the house! They love the attention they get when she is with them!”


About: I have had dogs throughout my entire life and have always loved taking care of them and any other animal that came my way. I am excited to meet your furry family members I work from 7-4 but with enough notice it is possible for me to do remote. I have a hour lunch for flexible drop in visits. I have a friendly lab mix to keep your dog(s) company. I have experience with animals before so I can easily get animals into cages, take care of their nutritional and potty needs. I can also bathe and provide other services at owner’s request.
“Amy was so great. She responded quickly and was super friendly. She showed up on time and the dogs liked her right away. She communicated great during time she watched the dogs and took such great care of our 2 puppies. We will definitely use Amy for future dog sitting needs.”

About: Growing up my neighbors always had dogs and we often took care of them while they were away, which is where my love for dogs began. In college my roommate bought a puppy and I helped her raise it for the first 2 years until we graduated. During this time, my responsibilities were being the first one to take her out to the bathroom in the morning, being that I was always the first one awake! Also because I enjoy going for runs, I was the one who brought Finn on daily walk/runs, while also helping train her to live inside our house. Also, in college, the family I nannied bought a puppy and I helped them through the first steps of training her. During this process I really learned the steps of how to care for dogs being that I was the one taking care of her from 7-5 each day. I am looking into adopting a puppy of my own now, but I wish to be more financially stable before I get one. So to satisfy my puppy fever, for now I hope to dog sit and dog walk until I can afford one of my own!
About: I’ve always cared for family pets and currently own two cats, one of which is happily trained to wear the elaborate sweaters I make him and goes on daily walks on a leash. I am comfortable with any special needs that may arise such as giving meds or other basic vet care, and enjoy working with all kinds of animals. Let my flexible schedule fit into your routine! I am available days, evenings, and weekends. I know how disruptive time away cat be for your pet — I’m happy to do what I can to keep the normalcy flowing for them. I am happy to follow all guidelines you have about your pet’s care, from leashed outside visits only to regular ear scritches. I care for pets how I would want mine to be treated — safely, and with compassion.
About: I've been loving and caring for animals of different kinds for over 30 years. I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I hold a very flexible part-time job that allows me to be available to care for your pets most days or the week, including weekends. Wether it's potty breaks, walks, play time or overnight care, I would be happy to love on your babies and make them feel safe and secure while you're away
“Grace looked in on our cat Chester while we were away and did a great job. We especially loved the photos of him she took and it gave us great peace of mind knowing she was there to check in on him. Will definitely book again! Thanks so much, Grace!”

About: "I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm also well know for rehabilitating strays to new homes I have a job from 2-10pm please keep this in mind when hiring me I will not be requesting time off under any circumstances. But I stay happy by taking care of animals I used to take in strays and rehabilitate them in my spare time but I now have a roommate and she won't let me do that. Anymore so I figured I could get another job involving animal care and my friend referred me to rover an so far I'm really excited for my first client. I am in doors only I have a dog yard at my apartment and a patio I take walks but mainly qe play inside but I have tons of time to play I have an open schedule! So I have tons of time to play and watch how the fur babies. I take them for walks we have a dog park at my apartment there's a dog park down the road I play wit them with toys I love going then treats and cuddling with them I have a patio. And a dog park available and I walk them and play with then they have full access to my home an di love to spoil my visitors I love taking care of your pets weekly routines are important which is why I try to ask questions before hand so I follow everything to a T. I have cats myself I know how routines are necessary to keep both you and your pet happy as I do it myself at home with my own fur babies. I follow the instructions left by the owner I'm well adverse in pet care whatever your schedule and routine with ur pet is I will follow I know just how important that is I do require an imperson tour before hand to discuss instructions and meet ur pet etc.
“Thank You so much Emily! We appreciate your flexibility with our additional visit requests and look forward to see Bruce on your Facebook page! Our son is so proud of his “kitty star”!”


“Eric did a great job with our two labs. They are high energy dogs, but were properly worn out when I got home. Great communication, regular updates throughout the visit.”

We will always ask Elizabeth to watch our cats. She does such a great job with them and clearly loves it too. Super communicative and flexible when our travel plans change. Would recommend to anyone looking for a petsitter to care for their precious fur babies.

Dawn was absolutely amazing!! She did such a good job taking care of our 2 cats while we were gone. They are spoiled princesses and they just loved her. She was so good with them! I loved the daily updates and pictures she sent. She was receptive and flexible in their needs. I would trust her over and over again with the care of my babies. Thank you for giving my babies the best care while I was gone - you provided such reassurance during our trip!

I hired for drop in visits while I was away for 10 days. My babies (1dog and 4 cats) were happy to see me and interacted with me like I never left. I would have to say that Ruby did an excellent job in caring for them and easing their stress. Im very thankful for her good work because my fur babies are family.
