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.

Peyton is great! My cats were totally comfortable with her right away. She was timely and attentive. Her communication was excellent and made me feel so confident about the care my pets would receive with her! I look forward to booking with her again next time I am in need!

She was fantastic! Timely replies and so many pictures! I could tell my dogs were always happy to see her and even after I came back, they were still looking for her and expecting her to come hang out with them. I cannot recommend her enough! If I need to book through Rover again, I will always see if Cora is available!

About: Hi, I’m Allie! With over 2 years of hands-on experience working at a dog kennel, I know what it takes to keep pups happy, healthy, and safe. I work from home most of the week, so your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. I have a secure fenced-in backyard for playtime and exercise, and two friendly dogs of my own who love making new friends. If your pup enjoys socializing, they’ll have built-in playmates and lots of fun! Whether it’s walks, snuggles, or just a calm environment, I treat every dog like family. I’m here to give your pet the same love and care I give my own. I work from home most of the week, which means I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, play sessions, and plenty of attention. My two dogs already have a routine, so adding another pup fits right in with walks, feeding times, and backyard play. In My Home: I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. Dogs enjoy supervised play in my secure fenced backyard, daily walks, and lots of snuggles. I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, medications, and special care instructions to keep them happy and stress-free. My two friendly dogs love having playmates, so social pups will have built-in companionship. In Your Home: If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I treat your home with respect and keep everything tidy while ensuring your pet feels safe and loved. My kennel experience means I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and can adapt to your pet’s unique needs.

About: I have years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses. As an Animal Science major on the Pre-Veterinary track, I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience through shadowing and internships at veterinary clinics, learning to handle animals safely and confidently. In addition to my academic and professional background, I’ve been caring for pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and family for many years, from walking energetic dogs to feeding cats and small animals. I’m comfortable working with puppies, senior pets, and those with unique personalities or special needs, and I always provide patient, compassionate, and individualized care for every pet I meet. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! Although I have classes during the day as an Animal Science major on the Pre-Veterinary track, I have several breaks between classes that give me time to stop by for walks or drop-in visits. I love spending that time with animals—it’s a great way to take a break from studying and do something meaningful. I’m also available most mornings, evenings, and weekends, so I can provide flexible care that fits your pet’s routine and ensures they’re always well looked after. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, keep walk routes safe and familiar, and always use leashes and harnesses appropriately. During drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining a calm, positive environment—providing fresh water, feeding according to your schedule, cleaning up as needed, and giving plenty of playtime or cuddles. My goal is to ensure every pet feels happy, loved, and stress free until you return.

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’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience with all kinds of pets. Growing up, I was always taking care of animals, so it’s something that comes naturally to me. I’m comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels, and I always make sure pets feel safe and cared for. I honestly love animals more than people, so I treat every pet like they’re my own and give them the attention and care they deserve. I’m a college student still in school but not full time, so I have a flexible schedule. I’m available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings during the week and on weekends. I can adjust to fit your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care and attention. I make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m responsible and trustworthy and always follow instructions carefully. I pay attention to their needs and habits so they feel secure and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a love for them. I had a black lab from 6 till I was 18 that I took care of by giving walks, feeding, playing fetch, etc. I also had a chocolate lab for a few years and now have a yellow lab that is 3. I’ve been around golden retrievers, pugs, French bulldogs, labs, doodles, and feel comfortable with most dogs. I’m a college student who misses her own dog back home and wants to hangout with some dogs for fun! Im currently a full-time college student and have many breaks during the day to go care for dogs whether it’s playing for a few hours or just a quick walk and potty break! I will respect your home and follow all rules you have. Most importantly I want to make sure your dog is taken care of however you need!

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.
