Pet Sitting Cedar-Isles-Dean

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 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).

About: I used to own two Cavaliers, and have taken care of various dogs on behalf of friends/family, including dog sitting for my sister's high anxiety rescue dog, and now have taken care of numerous dogs in the year I’ve been on Rover. I find that a calm, patient demeanor can win over even the most stranger-wary dog. I am in the process of changing careers, so am taking classes, which meet mostly online. Aside from the few hours a week when I volunteer to work with special-needs children in therapeutic horseback riding, my schedule is very flexible, including nights/weekends. Mornings? Evenings? Last minute? No problem. I think of pets as family, and will treat your pet like my family. (Don't worry, that's a good thing!) As a horseback rider, I find the skills of working with our animal friends transfer easily. Regardless of species, they enjoy human attention/affection, engagement and are often much smarter than we give them credit for.

“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.”

“Kaitlyn was absolutely wonderful. She took care of three cats and made sure they always had everything they needed. She changed three cat litter trays twice while I was gone. Cannot recommend her highly enough.”

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.

“Kiirsten is reliable and great about sending pictures!”

About: Experience with dogsitting, catsitting, and housesitting. I've provided pet/house care for families who have taken extended vacations (2-5 weeks). Love to be active and play with animals! I'm responsible and consistent and willing to help with extra tasks in your home (plant care, light cleaning, taking out trash, etc.). While I can't have your pet in my home, I am able and willing to stay overnight, drop-in for extended visits/walks, and/or do what your pet needs to be comfortable. I have years of experience nannying in people’s homes and I’m currently working as a speech therapist in school and hospital settings. I hope you’ll give me a chance to take care of your pet(s)! My work schedule varies, but I generally work 3-4 weekdays from around 8-4pm. I’m able to stop by before work, after work, weekends, and of course stay over if that works best! I always try to incorporate exercise and/play into the pet’s day if possible. I try to make sure animals feel safe and cared for, giving space if they need.

“Caroline did an excellent job taken care of my cats, she followed my instructions perfectly, and gave me daily updates, and even checked in with me after I got home. I will definitely rehire her as I know my cats are in good care.”

“Annalise was wonderful with my two furbabies. This was the first time that I have left them for more than three days, and after moving three months ago. She was so patient when the security process at my building was not perfect, and was so communicative throughout the week I was away. I will definitely ask her yo look after Roux and Beignet again!”

Abbie E.

“Rose did an amazing job meeting both of my cats needs as one of them need or a medication. She made me feel very confident while I was away with updates and pictures.”

“Andrew is our go-to sitter! He is consistent, communicates well, and always prioritizes hanging out with our cat. Highly recommend, and will continue to use him!”

“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!”

“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”

“Emily is awesome! Very kind, friendly, and persevered through difficulties in getting into our building. Will definitely have Emily take care of our cat, Augie in the future.”

“Carla did a great job looking after my cat. She was extremely responsive to questions and directions and sent lots of pictures, so I knew he was well taken care of. I hadn't used Rover before and was a bit nervous, she did a great job putting me at ease and I'll definitely be checking her availability if I need a pet sitter in the future.”

Charles D.

“The dogs are always so happy to see Brooke when she checks in! She keeps up updated on how they did and we come home to happy and relaxed pets.”

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.

“Renee is such a lifesaver! She has helped us out when we have been in a crunch and has been extremely reliable! We and our puppy love her! She has been an amazing caregiver for our dog! I would totally recommend her and so grateful we get to keep her on board for regular puppy sitting!”

I have grown up with dogs and cats and have been pet sitting both since high school. **I really specialize in cat care and if you are looking for cat care I am your person! I love hanging out with your pets, going on long dog walks, playing fetch, playing with the wand or cuddling with cats. I cater to your pets needs, whether that be playing, walking, food, or special care. In my current residence I have 6 cats total and one loving Golden Retriever, so I already am constantly spending my time around animals, and caring for my family pets. I am so excited to meet and hang out with your fur baby! I have a very flexible schedule currently, I am available most days for morning/afternoon/evening walks, and for cat care check ins. For overnight pet sitting I only do care in the Minneapolis area, and I am not available to bring your pet to my own home - I come to you! I offer house sitting, overnight dog sitting, dog walking and cat sitting services. For overnight pet sitting, I will also do any house care tasks needed- trash, watering plants, or any other requests depending on length of your leave. For dog walking, I cater to your pet! I can do long or short walks.
