“From the moment we dropped off the pups we knew they were going to be in good of hands and receive the best care from McKenzie! One of our dogs can be very high maintenance/energy and she did an incredible job making sure he was thoroughly tired out each day. We will look her up again if we ever need sitting in the future!”

“Everything about this experience was positive. They took such good care of my big baby. We were traveling for a really sad funeral, and leaving our big baby Moose behind was really hard for all of us. Zachary and Kaci sent exactly enough photos to let us know he was having the time of his life, which put my mind at ease and also made my kids smile. Pick up and drop off were quick. They were flexible and we will definitely book with them again.”

We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing our cats were being well taken care of. Our cats have very different personalities and she was accommodating to both and they may even like each other a little more now. Thank you so much Celia!!”

About: Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies and senior dogs with special needs. I have experience administering oral medications and providing compassionate care for senior dogs with hearing and vision impairments. I understand the extra patience, consistency, and gentle attention they need to feel secure. I work from home three days a week, which allows me to provide plenty of companionship, supervision, and personalized attention throughout the day. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine, so your dog will never feel like an afterthought. Whether it's regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply relaxing together, I'm able to give each dog the time and care they deserve. My flexible schedule helps me maintain a consistent routine, ensuring your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Although I do not have a fenced in yard, I do have plenty of green space for your dog to do their business or run around for exercise. I am able to take them for walks around the neighborhood or relax and chill on the couch.

Love Cassie! She was perfect for watching our Tristan and can't thank her enough. I just had a really good feeling about Cassie after reading her profile, then meeting her a week before leaving my 14 yr old cat Tristan with her for 3 weeks. I will never want anyone else to care for Tristan. Super pleased with Cassie!

Such a wonderful and helpful person. My dog had to be seen by a vet while staying with Kristy. I am forever grateful for the care, patience and attention she gave to the situation so I was able to remain away from home without worrying about my fur baby. Her level of care is beyond five-stars. Simply one of the best 😍🫶👍

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in MN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
