About: I grew up on a farm caring for all variety of animals. I am a dog mom of 2 pit mixes, and I adore puppies!! I love long walks on trails and neighborhoods, giving kisses while watching the sunset, and all about fine-dining treats! I work from home so I have the flexibility to care for your pets! I am active as well as love being a couch potato. I can take long or short walks (I need my steps!!) I am consistent and flexible! I have cared for many pets throughout my life, I am alert to any issues, and I am strong for those heavy pullers on a leash

About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t caring for pets! I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own. I have also cared for dogs, cats, and even exotic pets for family and friends away on long trips since I was around 10 years old. I love all animals (even bugs🩷) and I can guarantee I’ll care for your pet like my own! I am a college student home for the summer, so my calendar is free! I keep my schedule updated and I accept bookings almost anytime. I’m flexible! Whatever your pet is used to, I can match. In my own home, I ensure the kitty has food, water, and clean litter box available at all times. We play for 15 minutes a day at minimum, but he’s a very hyper cat so he runs around on his own half the time. For my dogs, I let them outside whenever they ask to be let outside haha. If your dog has a schedule, I’ll follow it. I feed them twice a day and ensure they have water at all times. I play with one of my dogs for about 30 minutes each day, the other one doesn’t like to play (She’s a bit strange…). Whatever your pet needs, I can do! I will do my best to keep their routine as unchanged as possible while you’re away.

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy meeting new ones when the opportunities arise. I’m easy going, professional and reliable. I will care for your furry family like they are my own. I’m currently remote and have a very flexible schedule. So I plan on being readily available for whatever their requests are and what their pets need. I am always sensitive to what is needed in the moment. So whether it’s a run in the yard or a stroll in the neighborhood on a leash, I’ll be there to take great care of their pet.

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life and have 10 years of experience caring for pets of all breeds and sizes, from puppies to seniors, kittens to older cats. I'm comfortable with small, medium, and large dogs, both purebred and mixed breed. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, individual attention, and lots of love. Your fur baby is in great hands! I'm currently working part-time doing social media for small businesses, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day! Getting outside to spend time with your fur babies is the perfect complement to my work-from-home routine. I'm available for drop-ins and walks on weekdays before 3pm and I'm happy to work around your schedule! I treat every pet's home like my own, with respect, care, and lots of love. I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds from small pups to large dogs, purebreds and mutts alike as well as cats of all ages. I am comfortable following your pet's established routine and home rules to keep them feeling safe and comfortable in their own environment. I have my own dog, Arnie, and cat, Frankie, so I truly understand how much your pets mean to you and I will treat them like family. There are trusted veterinary clinics nearby, and I will always contact you immediately if any concerns arise. Your pet's safety and happiness is my top priority!

First time Rover user and I picked Lauren based on her 5-star reviews. Lauren was great, she is super nice, she paid attention to some dog specific things, and most importantly the dogs loved her. She is highly recommended and I definitely will be using her again in the future.

About: Hi! My name is Katelyn and I love working with all kinds of animals! I volunteer at the Animal Humane Society in Coon Rapids as a Animal Care Assistent where I walk, engage, entertain, and comfort dogs of all kinds and sizes twice a week. I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies and chickens my entire life. I just enjoy being able to give animals the entertainment, exercise and love that they deserve. I am currently a student-athlete at Northern Michigan University but am home for the summer in Elk River. I am available almost any day of the week and at almost any time to take care of your pet! My dog at home, Millie, is a very nervous dog overall so I am very patient and calm with her to make sure she is comfortable. I know when she wants to be left alone or when she wants to play or be pet. My cat is very independent but likes to be around people if he is not sleeping. He doesn’t love to be picked up or pet a lot so I just enjoy when he is present in the room.

Sara has been very good with Brewtus!! He's a puppy and isn't trained all the way just yet. She plays with him and he goes potty for her. No accidents while he is waiting for us to come home after she's been here! So happy ?

My cat was so calm when I came back from my trip. That tells me in her two 1-hour visits Alex gave him the TLC and attention he needed while I was away. She sent pictures and updates to me while she visited which was very nice. Highly recommend!

About: My name is Corrie and I love animals, I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and 2 kids. They mean so much to me. I have a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I love going for walks with my dogs. I have a big yard that's 2.5 acres and we roam around the whole thing. Some of it's long grass so I will check for ticks. I cut or file my own dogs nails as well and can offer that if needed depending how well the dog or cat does. I work full time but work from home some days of the week, Wednesdays and Fridays. We are available in evenings and weekends. Especially in the winter. We have a large yard. Most of the time we let the dogs out on a 50 foot leash for quick potty breaks. Rocky is allowed to roam a little. Otherwise we walk the dogs around the yard or neighborhood. Have a large crate when needed.

David did an amazing job taking care of my 2 kitties. We have one that’s very skittish and was actually starting to come out at the end because he was comfortable. Definitely recommend David and Amy! They will be watching Boots and Buster again in a couple weeks 😁

About: I worked at Stone Mountain Pet Lodge from 2022-2024. I also have been volunteering at Midwest Animal Rescue & Services (MARS) since 2016! I have a passion for animals and I am going to college for animal behavior! During one of my semesters at college I had the opportunity to foster a dog who ended up getting adopted at the end of the school year! All that being said, I have lots of experience with all sorts of dogs! I’m will be working part-time for Rover when I am home for college! I will be available during the summer for drop in visits and walks! Safety is always my top priority when it comes to taking care of animals. My goal is to provide quality care to animals while maintaining a trusting relationship with clients!

Marcale was an awesome caretaker for our dogs while we were away! She went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and help us out. She was very communicative and stayed right on schedule with the visits. She made it easy for me to relax and not worry about the dogs while we were away on vacation.

I'm so glad I was able to find Jamie to take care of my girls. She did a great job. She kept me updated and in the loop. I love the pictures that they send. It makes me feel like I'm still *there* sorta. This is a wonderful business that I'm so glad I found. I'll definitely use Jamie again!
