Pet Sitting Calhoun

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my lifelong love and experience with animals—I grew up with pets of my own and truly understand the care and attention they need. As a dog lover at heart, I treat every pet like family. My passion for the outdoors means your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air and long, enriching walks. I also have a special place in my heart for relaxed, elderly pets and am more than happy to provide the gentle care, patience, and extra snuggles they deserve. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I am a Physician Assistant and have a wide array of availability. I keep my rover schedule up to date and frequently have evening availability during the weeks! I will foster a safe environment for your loved ones, making sure that all their needs are met! I am trustworthy and will put you and your animals best interest at heart.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life: dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, fish, turtles, you name it. I also work from home so your pet can get steady company and attention during the day, not just a quick in-and-out visit. Happy to water your plants during drop-ins too, so everything’s thriving when you get back. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for years to feed, check in on, and snuggle their pets when they’re away, and I take that trust seriously. When a friend’s cat needed an emergency vet visit while they were overseas, I was there to handle it and keep them updated every step of the way. I also take direction well so if you’re working on training with your dog, I’ll follow your routine closely to keep things consistent while you’re away. I’m currently working from home so I am flexible with daytime walks and visits! I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, usually between 11am and 6pm I treat others space with the same respect I’d want mine to be treated with: I’m careful with entry access and making sure doors and gates are secure before I leave. I always double check food, water, and litter areas. If anything comes up, I stay calm, act quickly, and keep you informed the whole time.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dog and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dog. My dog, Elliot, loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have my own small pup who is energetic and loves to play, but isn’t pushy. I work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dog).

“Andy is so amazing and thoughtful. Getting updates from Andy every day made our vacation just that much easier to relax. We have a couple of picky kitties, and Andy was able to warm them up and give them the attention and the love they need. I’m so thrilled that she brought her child with her and our kitties got some extra socialization. Major thanks, and a definite recommendation from my family.”

About: I've always been a pet lover. Did pet sitting as a pre-teen and teenager. I had a soul cat for 15 years and a soul dog for 13 years. I have 2 grand-pups who I often dog sit or just take for a day adventure. I've had guinea pigs, hampsters, fish, you name it. I pass you and your animal on the street don't be offended by me going straight to them first! Animals (all animals) seem to love me back too which I LOVE! I'm currently not working or occasionally working remote contract jobs so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your furr baby! And spoil them I will!!!! I have a condo in Minneapolis near the Sculpture Garden and Loring park. I am on the first floor with a patio and yard so plenty of space to do their business or to take a great walk. My building is small and very pet friendly. I'm also comfortable traveling out to your home since I'm central to the area.

“Clara did a fantastic job of taking care of my two cats, when I returned they were the same happy cats as when I left. She was great about communicating about what was going on with the cats and I got to see pictures of them frequently, which assured me that they were in good hands. I highly recommend her services.”

Lauren H.

“Lauren was absolutely fantastic!! I couldn’t have picked a better sitter to make my cat feel comfortable and happy! Lauren went above and beyond with photos throughout every visit and A+ communication. She followed all directions as well as administered meds flawlessly. Thank you, Lauren! - Spice”

“Amber always does a great job with our cat and is always very respectful of our home. Our cat also likes Amber a lot! My husband and I had to reschedule our booking and we were so grateful she was able to squeeze us in to the new dates. Thank you, Amber!”

“Jackson is a lifesaver with our dogs! We have a 10 mo. aus-shepherd mix with aggression and fear issues (wont allow strangers to come near us, or into the house or backyard). After a few visits with Jackson our dog is now so happy to see him each time! Jackson is one of the very few people our dog allows into our home, as well as to hang out and play with him and leash him for walks (if anyone has dealt with an aggressive dog they know the struggles, so to find someone we can count on for our pup is priceless). I would wholeheartedly recommend Jackson!”

About: Hi all! My name is Aislinn and I absolutely love cats and dogs and making sure they feel cared for! My partner and I have two cats (Pumpkin and Peppa) and I have three years of experience with cat care. I also have experience with dogs, helping my uncle take care of his pitbull, and petsitting for friends. I love bringing a warm, kind presence and making sure cats and dogs feel calm and safe. Happy to do drop-ins to help with all things cat-related (ex. play, litterbox cleaning, mealtime, etc.) and dog-related (ex. play, walks, mealtime, etc.). I'm new to Rover, so happy to connect and answer any other questions. Hope to meet your pets soon! :) I'm in grad school, so my schedule is a little more flexible than a 9-5. I'm mostly free on the weekends, but happy to be flexible! When in doubt, feel free to reach out :) I love animals and will treat your pets with care, respect, and responsibility. As a parent to two cats, pet care is a part of my daily life too, and I absolutely love any opportunity to connect with animals and make sure they feel cared for and loved.

“Sarah was amazing with my four cats! She came and did a meet and greet prior to booking, and everyone warmed up to her immediately, which is rare. With each drop on visit, she wrote up a cute description of how it went and sent a good number of pictures. I could tell she actually spent time with the cats based on her descriptions; she captured their personalities perfectly! I can tell my kitties were perfectly comfortable with her. Sarah also was nice enough to help me with a few last minute things around the house. I will not hesitate to book Sarah for my next vacation!”

“Phenomenal! Totally would ask again!”
