“2nd time using Keith and he took wonderful care of our dog and 2 cats while away for a week. Great updates and really cares about your pets! I would recommend to anyone!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience, patience, compassion, and genuine love for dogs. I have cared for many different types, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I take the time to learn what makes each dog comfortable and happy. I have also raised dogs of my own, giving me hands-on experience with daily care, training, routines, exercise, feeding, medications when needed, and recognizing when a dog needs extra attention. I’m reliable, attentive, flexible, and communicative, and I treat every dog in my care like a member of my own family. My Daily Routine Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout much of the day, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and walks without them feeling like they are simply being left alone. I typically start the day with potty time, breakfast, and some attention or a walk before settling into work. Throughout the workday, I take breaks to check on the dogs, let them outside for potty breaks using a leash or tie-out, other walk as needed to give them attention, and make sure they are comfortable. They are welcome to relax near me while I work, and I can adjust my routine based on each dog’s individual needs. I do occasionally need to be away from home for work or other commitments, but I’m very flexible and plan my schedule around the dogs in my care whenever possible. I’m comfortable adjusting feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, rest time, or other routines to match what your dog is accustomed to. My goal is to provide a calm, loving home environment where your dog can feel comfortable, included, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to work with their individual personality, age, energy level, and routine. I treat every dog in my home like one of my own, while following the routine and preferences their family has established for them with love, attention and affection.
About: I work from home full time and have the capability and desire to have a cuddly fur baby around, snuggles, walks and lots of love a must. I like watching 1 dog at a time but if they are from the same family, please feel free to reach out if there are 2. I am able to be flexible. Since I work from home full time I am available to watch your fur baby during the day, night, boarding and on weekends if needed I would take them on walks when I could during the day, snuggles, some play time and rest when needed. Plenty of food and water, no fenced in back yard.

“Our dog is a on the independent/skittish side and doesn’t love a lot of people. Anna knew just how to act and gave her space while still giving her the attention and care our pup needed while we were out of town. A true dog whisperer.”
About: I would love to help you out with your doggies! We always had dogs growing up. I’ve had dogs my whole adult life as well. I rarely have had just one and the most I’ve owned at once is 3. I’d have more if my husband okayed it! 😂 I am a teacher on summer break and have a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule. I would love to fill my days up with walking dogs! I am hoping to do some dog walking or playtime during the day, but I’m open to bringing them to my home to stay if needed. I currently have one chihuahua who likes to lounge on my couch. We have a regular client that we have about every other month. He is an adorable keeshound who loves to play. I have taken care of many types of dogs with varying temperaments over the years. I am happy to help you out!
About: I have 1 dog, Bullet a golden retriever of my own. We also have 2 cats. Bullet is very friendly and loves to play. We often go to a park where he can run around and play. Sometimes we go swimming at the beach to play fetch. He is always supervised and is not allowed to wander. We also have a fenced in yard where he can hang out and relax in. He is always on a leash when we take walks around our neighborhood. I believe in safety and security when it comes to my pets and any pets I am taking care of. Bullet is very lovable and playful with all dogs that are friendly back to him. Thank you for taking time to read all this!
About: If you hire me, upon request, I will do a free cartoon portrait of your pet(s)! I am an artist, but I am an animal lover before anything else and will make sure your baby is in good care. I have had dogs of my own my whole life, and have taken care of other’s as well with walking and overnight/check in sitting. I do have experience with taking care of cats and other animals, too! My whole life revolves around animals and pets, while I’m watching yours my number one goal will be to keep them safe, happy, cared for and comfortable! I’m currently pet sitting as my main source of income, so I’m more than ready to spend all my time taking care of your pet! I am available any day of the week at any time. I will adjust to imitate your care-style so you and your pets are comfortable. Otherwise, I am more than happy to do the basics, spend my time playing and taking care of the essentials (feeding, walking, bathroom breaks, etc) with your pet.
“Our first time using Jaci and she was wonderful! We needed someone last minute and she helped us out! Even tho we couldn’t meet before hand, I felt totally comfortable having her in our home to take care of our girls! Will definitely use her again!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and needs. I grew up in a family that always had dogs, and caring for them has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Today, I share my home with two wonderful dogs—a Cocker Spaniel and a Bulldog—who keep life fun, active, and full of love. Over the years, I've gained experience raising two puppies of different breeds, giving me a strong understanding of puppy care, training consistency, socialization, and the patience that young dogs need as they grow and learn. I've also cared for senior dogs, including administering medications and accommodating age-related mobility and health needs. In addition, I have experience working with special-needs and disabled dogs, and I understand the importance of providing compassionate, individualized care tailored to each dog's unique situation. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I'll make sure they receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, secure, and loved—just like they do with you. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing the same level of care I would want for my own pets! I am currently not working a set schedule so I have plenty of time for all of your pet care needs! I can do house sitting, dog walking and drop ins on any day of the week. When I stay in someone’s home to care for their pet, I will treat it with the upmost respect, leaving it better than I found it. I am clean, respectful and responsible.
About: I have my own little dog that I take care of, and I am excited to take care of more. I am care giver at a health care center. Right now I am working on call as a nursing assistant in Apple Valley. I make my own schedule therefore I am free different days of the week. One week I could be free everyday and then I next I’m only free for a couple of days. My mom recently got a new fence for the backyard so our dog can roam freely without us having an heart attack that she’s going to run away 😂
About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs and you will receive tons of pictures throughout the day! We have flexible jobs where we can work from home so your dog will always have someone to hang out with. Our house has a very large fenced in backyard where the critters can run around and chase all the rabbits and squirrels out. Your pup will have full access to the entire house including all of the furniture and beds. Please let us know if you would like to set up a meet and greet to ensure that all our furry critters get along. We basically schedule our days around dogs and their daily needs. Just let us know what their routine is and we will stick with what they’re used to. My husband and I both work hybrid/remote and someone will always be home with the dogs to hang out with them, let them out, etc.
About: I have grown up and been around pets for the past 15 years. I love animals and have done dog walking/care for friends and family. It is fun being able to bond with animals of different ages and personalities! I am currently in school and have an ever changing schedule but still have a lot of spare time and am willing to work around things. I want your pets to be as comfortable as possible! Whether that’s hanging out or running around, I will care for your pet like my own.
About: I have a range of experience from fur babies to some reptiles (specifically frogs and toads). My family currently consists of a little pup and two fire-bellied toads. I work from home and my schedule is flexible; so I can easily adapt to your little ones routine for feed times, play time, and potty breaks. I like to provide a calming presence and enrichment for pets. From a soothing cuddles to engaging in play, I feel it’s important to give them what they need in the moment.
About: As an animal lover and pet owner myself I know how stressful leaving your pet in someone else's care can be. As an experienced pet sitter I will ensure that your fur baby receives above and beyond, the love and attention they need while you are away! To help keep your mind at ease, I love sending my clients pictures/ video updates of their pet/s!!! Why me?! [C]attitude I am a very friendly, positive, easy going person that enjoys being outdoors and staying active. I am hard working, reliable and will always show up with a good attitude and ready to spoil your pet! Availability I currently work from home as a Freelance Artist, so my availability in regards to time and attention are quite flexible. I am available for in-home visits and/or walks Monday-Friday 8am-10pm Communication To me, good communication is the key to success! I want to make sure the service I am providing, is relieving any stress you may have about leaving your pet home. To help achieve this I would be happy to provide you with a text or call upon my arrival and/or departure, as well as send you a recap of my walk, check in or day-care. Respect I will always treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect and care. Maintaining the safety, security and trust of your space is something I take very seriously and will absolutely uphold. I do have 2+ years of experience working for a house cleaning company as a Supervisor, where I was in charge of customer keys, access information, lock box/ alarm codes etc. and ensuring every home was properly locked and secure before leaving. Again, maintaining the safety and privacy of your home and its contents will always be a priority. Experience Animals have always been one of my greatest passions in life. Despite not growing up with a dog or even owning one as an adult thus far in my life, I have gained knowledge and experience caring for dogs through dog sitting for various family members and friends over the last several years. Anyone that knows me knows how much I love animals... and that if I am not actively playing, petting or interacting with a pet, I am usually talking about them. Art bonus! I am a freelance artist with a BFA in photography and I also specialize in cut-paper art! The majority of my work is nature and animal based- because that is what I love. I also create one of-a-kind, handcut paper, pet portraits! Feel free to contact me with any questions about getting a custom portrait of your own pet made! I'm a freelance artist with a flexible schedule, so I am available all day for any pet care needs. I walk my own dog daily in rain, snow or shine. I play with my cat multiple times a day, as she demands it. My flexible schedule allows for plenty of spoiling throughout the day for everyone! I live on a quiet cul-de-sac. I have a large fully fenced, private yard with lots of space to run and explore. My dog Maeve gets along well with other dogs and will gladly play chase if that's what your dog enjoys. My cat, Bitta, gets along well with dogs, provided they don't bother her too much. However, she's not shy about letting a pup know when they've crossed the line though she does not have front claws (I did not declaw her!). Our home is quite spacious, allowing us to easily keep the puppies separate indoors if necessary. However, if all the dogs are comfortable with each other, our house is pet-friendly, and that includes allowing them on the couch. As I work from home, I can easily monitor all the animals throughout the day.
About: Dogs have always been my passion, I love caring for my dogs and others!! I have experience with puppies, geriatrics and special needs. I currently have 3 dogs of my own who are very friendly with other dogs. If interested and want play dates and socialization with other dogs I will bring your dog to my large fenced in back yard to play! I am currently in the medical field and have always loved to care for people and animals! I have experience with dogs who are injured and need that extra special care or give medications. Those who have young puppies I am willing to help train with the basics, I have lots of experience teaching dogs, I am currently in agility with my 2 year old border collie. I am currently working full time I am off at 6:15 Monday and Tuesday and off at 3:15 Wednesday’s and Thursday’s and I don’t work Friday and weekends. I am able to come on evenings if need be I have a fully fenced yard and 2 extremely friendly dogs myself to play or keep your fur baby company. If more comfortable I have a crate. I love to play with the animals , walk and give cuddles!

Stephanie has helped me and my pup, Apollo, a ton over the past 1.5 years! As I had to keep to my work schedule while also managing the first year with a puppy, my reliance on Stephanie’s visits always eased the effort and milestones Apollo reached. Without her help, I would have had a lot more “moments” to deal with, I’m sure. Apollo loved his visits! Stephanie takes great care of him, and I would recommend her to anyone in the area looking for these services! 5 stars in the beginning, middle and end of our visits! Thank you, Stephanie!!!
Melissa is exceptionally caring and had a wonderful approach with our Great Dane, Kota. She left the perfect level of details after each of her visits and was thoughtful about our dogs knee (recovering from surgery) while still giving her plenty of time to play. Our dog was clearly comfortable and happy to see Melissa each visit- which is saying a lot for an anxious pup! Could not recommend Melissa more highly!!
Rachel is very sweet to Charlie! She scheduled a meet and greet for us before her first drop in visit, so she could meet Charlie and I could show her all of his things. On her visits, she sent photos of Charlie on his walk and played fetch and hang out with him for the whole 30 minutes. She brings such a calming presence for my high energy doggo! She is awesome!
Geshanna was fantastic and treated Duke like he was her own, the entire long weekend we required her services. Sent many pictures and videos of her with Duke, and was incredibly communicative the entire time we were away. We WILL be having her take care of Duke again if we are away, and I will do everything in my power to recommend and referred her to as many people as I can! If I could rate her more than 5 stars I would!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Burnsville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
