“Abby was amazing with our cats! She went above and beyond with taking care of them and sending photos and updates. Our female cat, Sissy, is usually afraid of the pet sitters, but Abby is the first pet sitter that Sissy has allowed to pet her. We will definitely be re-booking with Abby, and highly recommend her.”
“Becca is an absolute angel and really went above and beyond this visit!! She brought in packages as well as put them away where my silly cats could not eat the cardboard, and took care of a mess that was 100% not her fault or responsibility. Becca was flexible and accommodating when my fur babies were being so naughty 🫣”
About: Growing up we’ve always had dogs of all ages, so I am skilled at caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I have also had experience taking care of neighbors’ dogs as well while they were away. Currently I am a cat mom, so not only am I capable of caring for cats, but I also have a deep understanding of the love, worry, and responsibility that pet owners experience. All of this being said, I can assure you that your pets will be in good hands when I am around! I currently have a part time internship with a flexible schedule, so I am well equipped to tend to your pets needs. However, I am unavailable most weekends due to family caregiving duties out of town. Since I am a cat mom, I’m not entirely comfortable allowing other animals in my home. However, I am more than willing to go to clients’ homes to feed, walk, let outside, give medicine, cuddle, or play with pets.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was young both domestic and street dogs. My neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed their pets. I go above because I love spending time with them as they are our extended family. I am currently working from home, with flexible work schedule. I can be contacted last minute for dog or cat sitting or walking. I am just a phone call away: My apartment is clean and spacious. They will be allowed to run free and walk regularly with love and care. Always available as needed. J
“Cora was extremely helpful and took excellent care of my cats, visiting them twice a day. I will definitely use her services again in the future as I am confident that my cats will be in good hands.”
About: I have taken care of various pets of all ages and sizes to include dogs, cats, and fish! I currently have a puppy that has done outstanding with her training and enjoys all of the attention! I also enjoy taking dogs +18mo on runs to get their crazy zoomies out! I’m working part time in the healthcare field as a CNA. I don’t have a set schedule of when I work so every week is different. I live in town with a social puppy. I love taking her to the dog park, new walking/hiking paths, and around to different social gatherings. She gets along well with other dogs of any size so your furry friend can be on a play date vacation as well!
“Brooke is a great pet sitter! I’m wondering if Coco will be disappointed when we get home… she’ll be looking for Brooke. Brooke did drop in visits while we were out of town for an overnight trip. Brooke sent us Rover cards with details & pictures. Coco looked very happy with all the loves & walks. Coco even ate her food! I definitely recommend Brooke. She’s a great!”
About: Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to take care of and walk their pets. I also have a dog of my own. I taught him how to do tricks with treats. I am currently in college so I have various times throughout the day that I would love to hangout with your pets. I am free almost every day after 3:00 and in the summer I am free all the time. I have a very safe home and a big backyard. I also have a dog of my own, and he loves to play with other dogs.
About: Although I am new to Rover, I have taken care of dogs and other animals my entire life! I have experience with young pups and respect their training schedules. I currently have a flexible schedule and would love to fill some time with fur friends! I currently work part-time and have a very flexible schedule! I am able to drop in at various times of the day and multiple days a week. I currently have a mini goldendoodle named Parker in my home. In other homes, I respect the owner's space and try to make sure that the environment is safe prior to leaving!
About: I have always had cats and dogs in my life. I love being with a high energy, Velcro dog who loves to play fetch and cuddles. I’m a college student and so I will be available to your pet at random times of the day when I come home between classes I don’t have a fenced yard but I do have a yellow lab who LOVES other dogs. We go for a lot of walks and love to play fetch.
“Erinn did a fantastic job with drop in visits for our two dogs. She showed up on time to meet our dogs prior to our trip out of town to go over the details and then showed up exactly when she said she would for drop in visits and spent 30 minutes or more with them at each drop in. We got a detailed report on each stop as well as pictures. Communication was excellent. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Erinn again in the future. Friendly young woman that’s great with dogs. Thanks Erinn!”
About: I've been a dog person my whole life. For multiple years now, my friends and family have let me take care of their dogs when needed. I'm very responsible, dependable, and the biggest dog-lover you'll meet! I am currently a full-time graduate student at South Dakota State University and work a part-time job. However, I plan to care for your pet as much as I can! I plan to be very attentive and loving. I treat any fur-baby as I would treat my own. I love to play, love on them, and make sure they’re being attended towards.
About: I have volunteered at a fox rescue, wildlife rehabilitation center, and the Minnesota zoo, so I have a ton of experience with many different types of animals. I have always had a dog in my house. My parents currently have 3 dogs and two cats while I have one dog and one cat. I can work with any kind of animal big or small! I have a husky and a German short haired pointer, so I know how to walk, or take care of, a more energetic dog. On the other hand I also have a French bulldog so I also know how to care them smaller, less active dogs. I have dog sat many times before in the past and I have never had any complaints. I will always put your dog first! I am currently working as a CNA at a hospital part time, so I have some time on my days off or after work to help walk or take care your pets! I have a very friendly dog who can play with any type of dog whether they are smaller than her or bigger. I can travel to your house and make sure your dog is well taken care of and walked.

“I feel so awful for leaving my dog Goose at home all of the time, but with my busy schedule, it's been hard to give him the attention he deserves. He's a border collie, so he naturally has a lot of energy, but Ryann does such a good job of giving him the exercise he needs. I feel better knowing I can go about my day and Goose will be well taken care of. I couldn't recommend Ryann enough and thank her enough for all of her help!”
