“This is our first time using Rover and Kirsten was the best pet sitter for our introduction to the services. She made us feel really comfortable meeting with her and our cat (Mochi), prior to her visit with him. We loved seeing photo updates at each check-in, and so great seeing him out and not hiding, cause he's a shy boy until he feels comfortable. Thank you so much, Kirsten! 💙”



“Sheryl is a great sitter!! She was always in contact. She offer to visit us first so our cats get familiar with her. After that she attend everything we ask her!! Always kind and very friendly. I'll totally recomend her!”


“Emma did a terrific job looking after my lab, Cooper. She communicated after every drop-in with photos and updates. I highly recommend her for looking after your fur babies when you are out of town.”


About: I have cared for many dogs over the years. I love taking our Mokes to meet other dogs and exercise areas to meet new pups! I am also comfortable administering medications, and have been a nurse for many years. I love taking our dog everywhere I go and your dog would be treated, just like my own! Throwing a ball and long walks are what every dog loves, so let me help you with your busy schedule! I’m currently working full time during the day, most weekdays. I am available evenings, on the weekends and most all holidays! I can be very flexible with last minute needs. I have one very friendly chocolate lab, that loves to have new playmates! I can also easily crate your pup, if that’s what you prefer. We love to take walks to the nearby park and play fetch. I also like to watch animals in their own environment if that is where they are most comfortable!

“Ashley watched our golden retriever for a total of 6 drop in visit over 3 days. She was so wonderful and thorough with all her notes she reported with each visit. We had never used a service like this before and were a little hesitant at first. I would definitely recommend Ashley. I myself will definitely be asking for her assistance in the future!”


About: I provide dog/cat sitting in your home. I just spent a week at a lady’s home watching her two dogs. One had an energetic personality and the other had three Legs! I helped him jump on the bed, walk down the stairs, and go for walks. I also pet sat for my friends mom. She has three dogs. All different sizes. I played fetch, made sure I got to her house on time to let them out, and fed on the desired times. I’ve also watched A Doberman, two border collies, one corgi, one Gordon setter, and last but not least an Aussie spaniel mix all in the same house. They were full of energy but very well mannered. I can give diabetic dogs shots as long as they behave. I also have experience with incontinent dogs and wheelchair dogs. I’ve watched horses, cats, goats, small animals including rabbits, geckos, chickens and fish. Please consider me for pet sitting your fury animals. I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you

About: I pet sit my friends & family's pet whenever they need someone to take care of their fur babies! I love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. I am free to help most days after 3 PM or on the weekends for the full day I’m looking forward to meeting your fur babies. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a secure, loving, and stress-free environment where your furry friend can feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they receive the love, care, and attention they deserve. You can trust that your pet will be in great hands with me!

“Sheena was wonderful! Great communication skills, wonderful sitter who kept meticulous details of her visits with my cat, Dot. Definitely recommend Sheena to watch your four legged friends! :)”


“I mean - week one with us and I couldn’t be more pleased. Absolutely stellar. From trusting Bella’s instincts and hers , Seri spared herself and Bella from possible exposure to a dangerous gas leak. We look forward to her caring for Bella again and again.”


“Samantha and her girls took wonderful care of our senior cat, Mufasa. They played with him and did a great job cleaning up after him. She was great at communicating and sent pictures and video. Would definitely recommend!”


“Taya (and her partner, Ben) did a great job looking after our three kitties. Even though two of our little ones were quite shy, Taya took good care of them and made sure they had food, water, and play, as well as making sure the litter boxes were all cleaned.”


About: I grew up on a farm having countless animals including both cats and dogs. I love animals and I am more than happy to meet all types of fur babies! I’m working full time right now and I am pet sitting as a side gig to make some extra money. I can head over after my shifts! My pets at home are well take care of. Our dog is kennel trained but our cats have free access of the house during the day. I have a long haired cat so I’m used to brushing cats and dogs out!

About: I have grown up taking care of Chow Chows! Friends and neighbors have also counted on me to look after there pets. Let me know if I can help you out as well! I'm currently working a part-time job so I have plenty of available time to look after your pets! My job depends on the weather but regardless I'll do my best to fit your schedule. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood with lots of room for excercise! However, depending on your pets personality they can also just lay around a comfortable yard.

About: I want to meet your pet on their level! I've had cats my entire life, and dogs for a total of 20+ years and I know how to adjust myself to best care for them. I have experience with dogs who are reactive, shy, hyper, old and young, sport dogs and snuggly pets too. My own dog and I dabble in agility and rally-o, so I have experience with R+ training and LOTS of patience. I personally currently have a cattle dog mix, 2 kittens and their mum (all rescues who have stolen my heart). I've done drop in checks and walks for friends and coworkers over the years and I don't think I've ever met a dog I didn't love. I adopted my dog as a puppy, and I know the unique challenges they have, as well as how vastly different their personalities and needs can be. I work from home some days. Other days I commute from Elgin to Rochester, so I'm very flexible on where I can be available. I can make most times work for me! Weekends I'm available 24 hours. I'm very happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood, or take them to your fenced yard for some fetch or 'puppy tag'! If your pet just wants some loving and cuddles, I am more than happy to do that too. I can feed, water, scoop litter boxes, give meds, and check minor dressings. I'm happy to even give your pet a quick brushing if that's what makes them happy! I know puppies need extra attention and am able to accommodate that too.

About: I grew up having dogs and cats. I have had small and large breed dogs, I love the joy and loyalty that an animal can bring to a home. I currently have 2 dogs, Lily, a 5 year old Australian shepherd, and Sprocket, 9 year old schnauzer-Pomeranian male. My dogs love to play and make new friends, I understand how hard it gets to find reliable care for your pets when you want to go on vacation or something else is going on, I’d be more than happy to help you out when needed! I’m currently working full time but I’m always open on weekends. My schedule is very flexible so don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. We have a fenced in backyard, we'll always use a leash if we go on walks with your dogs. We have cameras in our home as well.

About: I am a 2020 graduate of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and work as an organic farmer. Rover helps me to earn money for myself during the off season when work dies down. Contact me if you need help caring for your pets. I'm a lover of cats and dogs (and farm animals) and have had them as pets my whole life from as far back as I can remember. I’ve always lived in households with pets growing up and at one time had as many as three cats and two dogs. My step mother is a certified vet tech and I spent time as a middle schooler helping care for animals that boarded at the animal hospital she worked at. I also spent time as a nanny for three girls and dog sitter of a pit bull and golden doodle on and off for a handful of years during college. I’ve had two seasons of farm experience managing and caring for livestock. Needless to say I am familiar with animal behavior and care needs. My family currently has a cat and Australian cattle dog mix that we love so much. I would love to walk your dog for any amount of time of any size, age, or type. I am available for walks, drop ins and overnight pet sitting at your home. Contact me with questions to see if we’d be a good fit for each other! I have availability throughout the whole week, Sunday through Saturday. I am available for drop-ins, walks and overnight stays, including stays over one week long. I am open to spend time with your pets in your own home. I can play with, feed, walk and cuddle with them depending on your and your pets needs.

Sadly, our dogs have past, but when we run into Michael he always brings up so many loving memories of them.”
