“I will highly recommend Mindy to walk your dog. Mindy communicated with great detail and pictures which put us at ease. I will definitely use Mindy again when we are back in this area.”
“Nathan is phenomenal with Billy!! He not only takes him for walks but he helps him learn tricks and shows Billy all the attention he so craves. He is a puppy so patience is necessary and Nathan definitely has that. Nathan is great with communication as well, always letting me know how Billy is doing and if he sees that maybe something is off with Billy health wise. I definitely trust him to take great care of my pup. :)”
About: I have taken care of my dog Gin for the past 8 years. We go on multiple walks daily, love playing fetch, and I have taught her over 15 tricks! I have been pet sitting for others as long as I can remember and love to hang with other peoples animals! I’m currently traveling through the US and am looking to make some extra cash on the way :) I’m very flexible on days and times as I have few obligations! My current plan for travel is: Bozeman, MT until August 19th Black hills area August 26-29th Unavailable all of September Second or third week of October: somewhere in New Hampshire/Vermont (very flexible time) If you need a sitter during those times please reach out! I love taking long walks or just hanging out, whatever your pet likes! My dog Gin is very used to meeting new dogs and will hang out and vibe with whatever situation she’s in.
About: I have house sat multiple times for the same families, which included care for both dogs and cats. One family had ill animals that needed special pills and diets, while the other had a puppy who needed walks to remain calm. I follow the instructions of the owners as best I can, and attempt to give the animals as much love and attention as I can offer. I was paid professionally to care for animals when I worked as a personal assistant for three years. I know that it can be hard work to care for animals, but I am willing to put forth the effort for them. I have had and cared for them all of my life, and I look forward to caring for yours! I work full time, but can be flexible with my lunch break. At the least, I could drop in three times a day or stay with them in the evenings. On weekends, if I am petsitting or dropping in, your pup or cat would be my highest priority and my schedule is much more flexible. Petsitting: When staying at a client's home, I keep the area tidy and try to spend more time with the pet than not. When I am not at work, I would be able to walk, play, and cuddle to their heart's content. If I have social plans, I adjust them to the pets needs so they are not left alone for too long. Dogwalking & Drop-Ins: After walking/playing with/checking on your pup, I would ensure they have adequate water and a treat, then give them some time to rest. Once I've ensured they've cooled down, I would let them out once more before topping off their water and leaving them for a nap. During the work weeks, walks would be at noon and after 5pm, but weekends are flexible.
“Kim did a great job with Sasha, arriving on time and walking her out in the Black Hills, in places that suited her temperament and needs. Also, it was helpful ti receive pictures and a report each time. Sasha was well taken care of.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats in my home for my entire life. I am very good at interpreting what they're trying to say and what they will need. I am flexible with my schedule. I love spending time with animals and making sure they are taken care of while their owners are away. I will take care of pets in the ways that the clients need them to. I do very well with written and spoken instructions and the expectations of taking care of your animals. :)
“We love Susan! Susan is amazing with Enzo! She is responsive, flexible, and punctual. She made an extra trip for our meet and greet to make sure that Enzo was comfortable. Can’t thank you enough! See you soon ?”
About: I have been a pet-owner since I was ten years old. I used to do campground pet care from age 10-13. I am pretty great at bonding with animals, getting to be their friend, and helping them get the exercise and attention they need! I love animals that come in all shapes and sizes and I am confident that I will be a great companion for your pet in any way that they need. I love to spend time in the park with my own pets, letting them splash in the creek, playing fetch, running with them, and showing them some good old-fashioned love. Our pets are too often overlooked and Rover is a great opportunity to for your pet to get some love too! I’m currently pursuing my online degree in Social Work and using Rover as an opportunity to make money on the side! My schedule is virtually open! I have 2 cats of my own, and a family dog—a doberman—so boarding in my own home isn’t terribly ideal for me. I am however very flexible with coming to clients’ homes and giving their pets all the attention they need!

About: I grew up with dogs and I currently have a black lab who lives with my husband. I’ve dog sat for friends and family throughout my life. I love to run, walk and be outside in nature. Dogs are definitely considered family to me! I am a travel nurse from South Dakota but currently live in Des Moines. I work night shift so during the day I’m around. My days are generally grouped together but letting pets out or walking are both doable! I can do overnights and watch for periods of time it will just depend on my schedule. I always want to respect the animal and let them come to me to meet and get to know me first. I love to play fetch or with whatever toys they like.
