“Marisa did a great job watching our cat for us over the holidays. She was flexible, responsive and on time. Our cat is usually anxious and stressed out when we get back from trips, but this time she was calm and happy to see us!”

“Such a great dog sitter! My dog is a senior dog with quite a few specific needs - meds, food, etc. Noah was so wonderful! He did everything I asked and more. I know my dog was in great hands and that he truly cared about her. Thank you for taking the stress out of leaving for the week.”
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.
“Shykala did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She really took the time to bond with him and she provided detailed updates, including lots of photos. I'll definitely book with Shykala again in the future!”

About: Outside of my own animals, i’ve taken care of animals in both a family friend setting and a professional setting! Here to make your furry friends comfortable! I’m currently a student at the University of Minnesota studying animal science! So pet visits/walks give me an excuse to take a study break, while also making time to do something i love! My schedule will stay updated in my profile! Making sure the animal is comfortable is my number one priority! Ensuring they keep up with their daily routine, whatever it may be, is important to me! And of course giving them lots of love!

“Ashley was very accommodating was able to book last minute and squeeze me in and still meet my kiddos needs. Communicative and fast response to any questions or concerns I had. Thanks”

“Sierra did a great job of showing up on time and caring for my kitty. I was really comfortable with her during our meet and greet, Peepers was too so I knew it would be a good fit. I will definitely look for Sierra’s availability next time I need to travel. Thanks!”

About: I have experience caring for my family’s 3 cats for over 12 years. I have administered medicine, cleaned litter boxes, and picked up after accidents. I can adapt to different personalities, including nervous and reserved. I also have experience with dogs as I cared for my cousin’s dog on weekdays in highschool, lived with a roommate’s dog in college, and also recently lived with a puppy and walked her regularly from 5 months old to 1.5 years old. I work from home so my schedule can be flexible depending on the day! I also have 1 hour lunch breaks from 12-1pm every day. I am available on weekends as needed. I can walk your dog, play with your cat, give an afternoon snack, or clean the litter box! I love petting animals and will provide the type of care they need.

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”

“Sarah was amazing with my cats when I needed a last minute sitter! Gave me wonderful updates everyday and the cutest photos of my cats to make me smile while I was gone. Would definitely recommend her and use her again if I needed in the future.”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs and absolutely love caring for them! I currently have a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable with puppies, potty training, walks, playtime, feeding routines, crates, and all of the energy that comes with younger dogs. I also have experience with adult dogs of different sizes and personalities. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own.

I’m very used to staying overnight at other people houses
About: Absolutely — here’s a polished version that sounds professional, trustworthy, and genuine, while highlighting your experience with different animals: I’ve been caring for animals for years and have experience looking after dogs, cats, and other pets for neighbors, friends, and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and providing attentive care based on each pet’s needs. I’ve also rescued and cared for stray and wild cats, which has taught me to be patient, gentle, and attentive with animals of all personalities. I truly love animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, with additional availability on weekends. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, and care they need. I’m also happy to accommodate individual routines and preferences.
About: Iv been with animals for all of my life from fish to hamsters to big dogs. I even graduated from the school of environmental studies. Iv been taking care of our family dogs for years and even helping my grandma s with her own two. In the summer going out to the dog park and long walks to staying inside during the big snowstorms cuddled up. It feels weird not to have an animal by my side Iv delt with both young and elderly animals, giving them medication, care and proper treatment. I was toght to always leave a place in better condition then when you found it
“Gabby was great, very communicative, and my cats seemed well cared-for. She even went to my building to try and check on them the day after my last booking date when my flights were unexpectedly delayed. I would definitely recommend her as a pet-sitter to anyone I know.”

About: ***NEW SCHEDULE: Weekday Evenings after 6PM are free, overnights are fine, but I would be away for work. Weekends always free. Rates are negotiable, I’m reasonable. Thanks!*** - Love all animals like their my own; My favorite breed for dogs are Golden Retrievers and Labradors. Love the Golden and Labra Doodles as well! - Self-titled GOLDEN RETRIEVER SPECIALIST! I can not get enough of Goldens, I had three growing up: Duncan, Murray, and Henry. All had distinct personalities. Duncan thought he was a human. Murray is anxious, moody, and very goofy. Henry is energetic, attention obsessed, pathologically loyal, and can chase a tennis ball (on land or thrown into a lake) for HOURS. They inspired my love of dogs. - I can handle dogs of any size for walks/overnights, I've walked dogs as small as toy Italian Greyhounds and Shihtzus, all the way to Burmese Mountain Dogs and Great Danes. - Genuine, vigilant, and experienced walker and sitter. - Self-titled GOLDEN RETRIEVER SPECIALIST! I can not get enough of Goldens, I had three growing up: Duncan, Murray, and Henry. All had distinct personalities. Duncan thought he was a human. Murray is anxious, moody, and very goofy. Henry is energetic, attention obsessed, pathologically loyal, and can chase a tennis ball (on land or thrown into a lake) for HOURS. They inspired my love of dogs. - Experience primarily with dogs, many cats as well. - Pride myself on excellent communication and thoughtful updates. - Have experience caring for animals that need special love (Elderly, Separation Anxiety, Blind and or Deaf, Medication Dependent, Insulin Injections, and more!) - Will truly bond with your furry companions, providing insight in personality and temperament. - Historically do very well with dogs regardless of their “Male Stranger Danger”. - I take direction very well, and will consult with clients about any specific tasks they may need for their pets or their home (Such as bringing the mail in, watering plants, letting in maintenance or cleaning workers etc.) - As long as the dog is comfortable in the rain or snow, I’ll be the same. Have appropriate gear for rain or shine. I do work from home most days, which means I can give your dog a 15 minute walk every 2 hours so they can do their business as well as a 30 minute walk around 2pm to let them get some more energy out until the evening when I can give your dog a longer walk and all of my attention and love. I can have food placed out at anytime in the day regardless of me working. I have experience with scheduled insulin injections as well as long as the owner lays out specific times. I'm in a new apartment, but as far as safety goes anything that could be harmful to even an infant is stowed away. All medications would be locked in a cabinet in my bathroom which would be shut.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Downtown West
Dave was very reliable and tuned into my two cats—where they go, how to draw them out, and building a relationship with them. His communication was terrific: he gave handy updates and posted sweet photos, and I knew they were in good hands. I strongly recommend Dave!
Cassandra provided excellent care for my rabbits and cat. I was nervous about trying a new pet sitter when my regular sitter was unavailable for the weekend, but I was quickly put at ease by Cassandra's experience, and by how comfortable my pets were with her. My cat can be a bit high-strung, one of my rabbits is especially timid, and the other rabbit is very high-energy, and she was able to interact with each of them in they ways their varying personalities required to make them feel happy and safe.

Yuliia did a FANTASTIC job checking in on my cat! She went above and beyond, sending pictures and checking in with me multiple times a day with updates on how things were going. I felt so at ease and knew she was taking great care of my sweet boy while I was away! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great cat sitter in the Minneapolis area! 😊
