“I’m so glad that I found Amy on Rover. She is very reliable and responsive and the perfect person to help out with my puppy when I have to be gone during the day. Very friendly and great with pets ❤️ We will continue to hire her to take care of Bowie 🐶”


“Eddie was wonderful! He was available at the last minute and was able to give our Cavalier King Charles Spaniels their dinner and a mile long walk. When he and the doggies arrived home, Eddie played fetch with them. He also sent us 6 photos and a very charming review of their experiences together. We’re going to schedule Eddie again— we’re really happy with his work.”


“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.”


“Amelia was absolutely awesome doing drop in visits for our two cats. She was attentive and kept the house and litter boxes in good shape. Me and my wife loved getting the daily updates with pictures. Amelia was even able to win over our very shy cat. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”


“Anne gave us detailed Check ins everyday that we were away. She played with our cat, kept his habits going and made sure he stayed comfortable. When we got back, he looked as happy as ever and he's now requesting more brushing time as it's what he's gotten everyday for the past week!”


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.

“Emily was so great for our kitties during our recent absence! One of our kitties had been sick and was still receiving oral medication, so I was very nervous about leaving her behind. Emily put my mind completely at ease. She is responsible, communicative, and very caring. We felt so lucky to have found her and will absolutely reach out for drop-in visits again.”


“Shykala watched my cat and she took so much thought in her care. She took the time to spend time with my cat so that she wasn’t bored while I was away. She sent a bunch of photos so I knew my pet was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking her again to watch my pet”


About: I'm a theatre teacher and dog lover and with school out for the summer, I have some extra time and energy to spend it keeping your furry family member happy, safe, and loved while you're away! As an educator, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility to pet care. Whether it’s energetic walks, relaxing cuddle time, or sticking to special routines, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique personality and needs. You can count on me for: 🎭 Daily walks, playtime, and enrichment 🐾 Drop-ins, house sitting, or overnight care 🦴 Feeding, meds, and updates with adorable photos 🏠 Respectful, tidy care of your home during visits I co-parent a sweet rescue Pitanese named Atlas, but he will not be present in my home when your dog(s) come to stay. I will only care for one dog family in my home at a time (up to 2 dogs.) As a devoted dog parent, I know how important it is to trust someone with your family member(s), and I’d be honored to provide a reliable, loving presence while you’re away. Let’s connect—I can’t wait to meet your furry family! I will be off from my teaching job throughout much of the summer, so will have a very flexible schedule to spend with your pet(s)! I live in the bottom unit of a duplex home and have full access to a fully fenced in yard. My upstairs neighbor has a dog, but doesn't use the yard with his dog and exits through a separate entrance. I'm a gardener, so your dog will always be supervised while playing in the yard. We live near trails and a park, so there is plenty of opportunity for enrichment on walks as well. I allow my dog on the sofa, but if this is not a habit you want your dog to pick up, I will follow those instructions. I have past experience giving oral medication, caring for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs in recovery from an injury.

“Madison did a great job of taking care of our cat with lots of playing over 10 days. She kept us up to date with lots of photos! We will definitely ask her to care for our cat again!”


“Cats both loved James! Playing with them and making sure their litter and water was fresh. He took good care of our home, doing the curtains to help maintain temperature for kitties”


“Thank you so much for taking the best care of my precious little man!! So sweet and thorough and Danny already loves you and he never loves strangers! Makes me so happy to know he’s in such good hands and getting good attention while I’m at work!”


“Carolina Maria was communicative, thorough, and oh so sweet and caring to our old Nedly man! Would highly recommend her for a short notice or far out adventure - terrific :)”


“Meghan was responsive, friendly, asked questions to make sure she understand what was needed, arrived on time, and followed instructions. I would book Meghan again to care for my cat!”


“Thanks! She is getting her rabies shot on Monday and then we will explore the dog park! She has definitely been growing more and more interested in it. Our previous lab was named Frank, and when we would run into that wiener dog it was always a fun time. Cute that she also gravitated towards him. 😊 Glad she was good today!”


“sara was great with my finicky kitty and quickly won her over! i appreciated the updates and photos, and she even watered a plant for me. i came home to a happy cat☺️ thanks sara!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and truly love getting to know each one’s unique personality. From playful pups to mellow seniors, I adapt to their energy and needs to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m dependable, calm, and pay close attention to routines — whether that’s daily walks, feeding schedules, or medication. I treat every dog like family, and I always aim to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Because I work in cybersecurity, much of my schedule is remote and flexible, allowing me to be highly available and attentive to pets throughout the day. Whether it’s early mornings, late evenings, or quick check-ins between work tasks, I can easily adapt my time to meet the unique needs of each pet. This flexibility ensures consistent care, playtime, and companionship, making sure your furry friends never feel alone or neglected. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. In my home, I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and play freely without any hazards. I ensure all spaces are free from harmful substances, and pets have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of stimulation. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I strictly follow their routines and instructions to provide consistency and minimize stress for the pet. I respect their space and property, maintaining open communication with the owner to build trust. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment that supports the pet’s well-being and reassures owners that their beloved companions are in good hands.

East Bank-Nicollet Island pet parents share their Rover experiences
Eddie was wonderful! He was available at the last minute and was able to give our Cavalier King Charles Spaniels their dinner and a mile long walk. When he and the doggies arrived home, Eddie played fetch with them. He also sent us 6 photos and a very charming review of their experiences together. We’re going to schedule Eddie again— we’re really happy with his work.

Jessica was fabulous! I can't say enough about how prompt, communicative, and accommodating she was with our cat. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was just right, and her updates gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I’m incredibly thankful for her care and will absolutely be using her again without hesitation!

Anne did a terrific job of taking care of our two cats while we were out of town. Above and beyond the usual tasks of feeding them and cleaning out the litter box, she played with them, brushed them, and took cute pictures of them. We could tell from the pictures that they were happy while we were away, and could tell right away when we got home that they had been well cared for while we were gone. We'd definitely hire Anne again.

Sarah went above and beyond to make sure our cat was happy. Sarah watched our 8 month old kitten for our first trip away. She jumped in and helped out with a jammed auto feeder, administered meds, and played with kitty cat non stop! I felt a lot of peace leaving our cat in such great hands.

Meri was absolutely amazing. Went above and beyond in every aspect of care for our kitties. She took excellent care of our cats and our house, her communication was amazing, and it was obvious that she really cared about our girls. We are super happy and will definitely be booking with Meri again!

Samantha was amazing! She went above and beyond with our two cats. She did everything we asked and more. She was great at communicating the whole time and seems to have good experience with cats. We would highly recommend Samantha and would personally use her services again.
