“Anne was conscientious and responsive and took so many photos of our kitties over the holidays. She spent lots of time playing with them and giving them love and attention. Our cats and home were well cared for, and we’d love to work with her again.”
“Christy is such a compassionate and mindful cat sitter, and she's such a thoughtful communicator with cats' humans (me, for instance). I know my cat Mireille is in good hands when Christy checks in on her 😊”

About: Hi, I’m Ellen! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them. I’ve raised puppies, cared for rescues, and love spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m an avid walker who enjoys being outdoors, but I’m equally happy relaxing inside for cuddle time. At home, I live in NE Minneapolis with my husband and our 5-year-old rescue, Red, who is very friendly and loves both people and other dogs. With a fenced-in backyard and a genuine love for animals, I’d be honored to care for your pet and treat them like family. I work remotely most weekdays, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, housesitting, and daytime care at my home. I’m available throughout the workday as well as evenings, and I can also take on boarding depending on my personal calendar. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I make it a priority to keep their routine consistent. I’ll provide walks, playtime, meals, and medications right on schedule, along with plenty of love and attention. I also make sure your home is respected and left tidy, so you can return knowing both your pet and space were well cared for. At my home, pets will have plenty of space to relax and play in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced backyard. I love engaging dogs with walks, fetch, brain games, and trips to the dog park. I can also provide food and medication on a set schedule to keep your pet happy and healthy. Our household prioritizes dogs’ well-being, so your pup will be cared for just like family.
“Pamela did a great job with my two cats! I got detailed updates every day which was really appreciated, and I had a worry free weekend knowing they were in good hands.”


“Nicole was great! When she came to meet our critters she asked tons of questions and showed genuine interest in getting to know them. The best part was when we got home the kitties were out and about, which for them means they were comfortable and happy. Trust me, that doesn't happen with all the people we've had watch them. We will definitely be calling Nicole again!”

“As my first experience Rover, I am thankful I found Laura. She agreed to do a quick meet and greet with my two kitties before hand as we had had some behavioral issues in the past and I wanted to make sure it was a good fit. She was accommodating to our schedule and the pictures she sent of their playtime during her drop in visits showed us that they were well cared for. I will definitely be using her services in the future.”

“Jess was great with my two cats! They are shy, and she respected their space, and they warmed up to her! She left good reports after her visits, provided several photos, and had good communication throughout :)”

About: I’m an animal lover who’s had pets around me for a good portion of my adult life — I honestly can’t imagine a home without them. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. Friends and family often trust me to drop in or watch their pets when they’re away, and I always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! I am currently freelancing online from home so I am highly flexible and can assure that your pets are taken care of with great consistency. I live in a three-floor condo with a small fenced-in yard, perfect for quick potty breaks or some fresh-air playtime. Whether your pet needs a walk, some company while you’re at work, or overnight care, I’m here to help keep their routine consistent and their tails wagging (or purrs going!).
About: I had a dog, Ace, for 12 years who passed away February 2020. He had a heart condition so I’m comfortable administering meds. He was a bully breed so I can also handle stubborn and slightly aggressive dogs. I give great scratches and cuddles! I am currently not working so I’m free all day. I will be able to be at your home most of the day if needed. I can provide lots of walks and cuddle time! I was a firm but loving dog owner so I will do the same for your pet. I love both dogs and cats and miss caring for one. I will give your pet all the love and care that I gave my dog Ace. I used to crate my dog during the day so I’m comfortable doing that for your pet if needed.
“Paige was a fantastic sit in Rover for my cat Blinker! She left detailed notes with many photos that I looked forward to every morning while I was on vacation :) She also was very helpful to let in my maintenance tech and be kind to him! I will rebook next time!”

“This is the third time I’ve booked Teresa, and she continues to be fantastic. She’s great with the cats, always provides regular updates (which I really appreciate!), and even managed to get my sassiest cat to cave and warm up to her. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“My sweet kitty has stage 4 kidney disease and I have been really struggling to give her the fluids she needs. Nicole was able to come with little notice took care of it like a pro. She managed to make me feel comfortable (I was so stressed out after trying and failing to do it myself) and she also made my kitty feel very comfortable. What a gem... so glad I found her on here. THANK YOU THANK YOU Nicole for making my baby's transition as comfortable as possible.”

About: I have owned multiple cats for the last 10 years, and have often been a trusted cat sitter for friends and family during that time. I work a typical first shift Monday - Friday job, so I have the flexibility to drop in for visits before and after work as needed. I am no stranger to the variety of care needed for cats (food, water, clean litter) and am happy to accommodate any additional needs. I am also comfortable with administering any required medications. My dog has epilepsy, so I am very familiar with medications that require timeliness.

“Lucia was a wonderful cat caretaker. She was friendly and accommodating and kept me up-to-date on each visit with sweet photos of my cats (when they were feeling camera-ready!). I highly recommend Lucia for pet care. I will definitely be requesting her in the future. :-)”

“Bec took such incredible care of our cat Gabe! It is always sad leaving a pet home alone while you travel but her updates and level of care made it so much easier to enjoy ourselves!”

“Shannon has been so good to our doggies, 6 years old and 4 months old. She kept us updated with how they did and included pictures with each visit. She was responsible about resetting the security system each time she left. She’s thoughtful and pays attention to detail. We’d definitely recommend her!”
“Sarah took such great care of my kitties again!! She cleaned up after them and sent the cutest pictures! Knowing she was taking care of the ladies gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation!”

“Holly was wonderful and we would definitely have her again. She took great care of our kitty, Lily. She sent nice photos, gave updates, and gave Lily lots of love.”
