Pet Sitting in Erin Corner

About: I've been taking care of dogs for nine years, ever since my brother adopted his dog and he hired me to dog sit. Since then, I have watched many dogs for family and friends and strangers alike! I have watched from min pins to German Shepherds since I started with Rover in 2021. My husband and I currently work remotely which allows a lot of breaks, which will enable us to take care of pets during the day! We are flexible, and am willing to take on last minute engagements. We currently own a home with a huge backyard which allows for lots of play! We have good space inside as well for play and snuggles. We always make sure that the doggos have the exercise they need, whether that be a walk or running in the yard if available. When I dog sit at the dog’s home, I visit 2-3 times a day, taking walks and staying several hours if the home has WiFi where I can work during the day. I usually tidy up and grab mail or other household tasks when I dog sit as well!

“Valerie is so thorough & is teaching my dog great habits! She always leaves him treats and new toys & is thoughtful about what our puppy enjoys. You will not be disappointed hiring her!”

“Can't recommend Heidi highly enough. She took care of my two fur babies while I was on a business trip for work, and even went the extra mile of leaving the trash for pickup on trash day, and running me to the travel plaza for the shuttle pickup on the day I left. She stayed in constant communication with me and even checked on them late when we had a derecho come through the night after I left. I will definitely be requesting her to check in on my babies again the next time I have to travel for work. Unrelated but also notable - she takes professional-level pet photos that she includes in the daily check in cards. She missed her calling as a pet photographer!!”

About: We just lost our beloved Pitbull of 10 years in December. While not ready to own a new dog, I would love to be around them! I’m very active and would love to take your dog for a nice long walk and give them all the pets and snuggles needed! I’m currently a stay at home mom and have a lot of time during the day to hang with your pet! I am typically home all day. We live on 5 acres but do not have a fence. Our dog was trained to stay in the yard. We have a long tie out for dogs if they do not stay in the yard.

“Nicole watched our dog, Dakota, for the second time and I am so glad we went with her again. Nicole is amazing!! She is a great communicator, takes a lot of photos and is very reliable. I never have to worry about our dog while we our away. We will always go with Nicole for our dog sitter!”

“Jennifer had great communication and was always sure to send photos of the kitties during her visits. She was even able to get my shy kitties to come out for treats 🥰”

About: Hi there! My name is Jenna and while I’m home I would love to watch your pup. I am a foster parent for many different rescues in the area including Cocos Heart, Across America Boxer Rescue and Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue. I have fostered everything from 10 week old puppies (yes I have the chew marks on my couch to prove it) to the unforgettable seniors! My home is full of dog beds, treats and all the loving they could ever want. I have a privacy fenced in backyard and provide kennels as well for safe spaces too. I would love to cuddle your fur baby while you are away. I will be returning to the office here in January but I can offer a safe space via kennel or pen while I’m at work (no longer than 8 hours). I do have some hybrid days that I may be home to give extra cuddles. When I’m not working, I’m home. While home, treats, loves, pets, outside time are in the agenda. When I am not home safe space kennel time with soothing music until I return will play. My privacy fence covers 90% of my yard with a fenced gate covering the other 10%. Your fur baby will not be outside unattended however. I also have a boxer that if they get along they are welcomed to play together, however if they don’t get along no worries! Being a foster parent I know how to split my house and time between to babies. I also have cameras set up so I can keep an eye on the babies at all times. Your fur baby will be treated like royalty when they are staying here.

“Alex was great! He handled our high energy dog very well. Millie was a happy girl when we got home! He followed our instructions and I felt very comfortable that Millie would be well taken care of on the drop in visit. Would definitely recommend Alex!”

About: Hi there! My is Charlotte (“Charlie”). I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician. I have years of personal and professional experience with pets. I am fortunate to be able to offer individualized and consistent care in your home. Living in Wisconsin and commuting to the Twin Cities allows me to serve pets and their families in many areas. You dog is always welcome to come along for the ride! I am currently home full time and widely available for care. My day can most often be dedicated to or scheduled around caring for your pet! I diligently follow directions for care. Depending on the pet and their needs, I adapt my care style to make them as comfortable as possible.

About: Hello! I'm a single mother of a 15 yr old daughter. We love animals! I own 4 small dogs & a cat. I welcome almost any small dog for daycare or overnight care. My friendly cat has always lived with dogs. Sometimes she hides when there is a new person or pet in my home. I provided foster care to over 26 dogs and have totally enjoyed the experience of loving these pups until they went to their furever home. I am very laid back and my dogs are allowed on furniture. I live in a dog populated neighborhood. I look forward to meeting any new furbabies, so give me a call for a meet n greet! About this sitter: A life long dog lover and owner. I also foster until dogs are adopted. My work schedule is flexible so it depends on the day, what my specific availability is. I can check on your dogs in your home, or if you prefer, they can board with me. Dogs are welcome on my furniture and they can sleep wherever they are comfortable as long as they are house trained. I allow my visiting dogs to intermingle with my pets. I have a huge back yard, just not fenced in. We can play tug o war or fetch, so bring your pup’s favorite toy! For downtime, we may just share cuddles on the couch.

“I'm very impressed with Alexa and how well Molly took to her. I would recommend Alexa for all your pet sitting needs! I will definitely use the services again”

About: I've taken care of dogs of various breeds, sizes and ages for family, friends, and now people on Rover. I must say, I've met some pretty awesome dogs and people through Rover. I am retired, but clean a couple houses and a furniture store on a part-time basis. The longest I'm away is typically 4 to 5 hours on cleaning days. I don't have a dog of my own at this time. My Ella, sadly crossed the rainbow bridge in December of 2021. Crazy how your life totally changes when they are gone. I miss all my dogs more than anything and will some day have another dog or two. In the meantime, I get my dog fix by taking care of other people's dogs. I will provide exercise and companionship for your dog(s) as if they were my own. I know how hard it is to leave them when you want some time away. I will do my best to keep them on the schedule and routine they are used to.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. We have fostered 7 dogs in our adult life, and officially adopted a dog in summer 2022, which was our first dog as an adult. Currently, we have a cat and dog, so pets that we watch in our home must be cat, dog, and kid friendly. We have a busy household with 3 kids and 2 adults. We have a 1.5 acre lot and love to go on hikes and to fields to run. We have an adult home/off work 4 of 7 days in a typical week. Would love to find someone close who needs our services for overnight boarding, doggy daycare, cat sitting, and drop in services. I am off Tuesdays and weekends. My husband is typically home Wednesdays and weekends. We have a dog of our own who loves to play with other dogs, so exercising the dogs should be easy as long as your dog is dog friendly. We also like to hike and go on walks in the neighborhood. Occasionally go to the dog park, too! Our yard is unfenced, but 1.5 acres. We do have an electric in ground fence if you would like your dog to wear the collar for it, or feel free to bring your own remote e-collar if your dog is used to that. Our yard is unfenced, so we can do a tie out, leash, or electric collar if desired. We do request dogs be crate trained for temporary times when we leave the house

“Erika loves your pets as if they were her own. We love the candid photos we receive after every visit. It's obvious our pets are happy and well cared for, which allows us to relax and enjoy our trip knowing our fur babies are safe and well cared for. Thank you Erika! We will be scheduling again with you in the future. ❤️🐾🐾🐾”

About: My fur baby lived 15 years, so i have experience for any age. My fur baby required five eye medications everyday, as well as a pill after dinner. She was blind and gets up 2-3 times a night to go to the bathroom. Before she went blind and got cushing’s disease, we would go for walks/runs. I have watched 3 of my siblings fur babies multiple times from small to large sizes and my friends fur babies as well. I had to take care of my sisters dads dog for three months at my home. Feeding, brushing, exercising,medication, playing, and cuddling are all things I have done in the past! I am available after 4pm Monday through Thursday and I am available Fridays after 10:30am, Saturday and Sunday to be determined please reach out :) I will not leave your fur baby unsupervised I will be outside with your fur baby on potty breaks leashed and I will strictly follow dietary restrictions

“Elizabeth is a great pet sitter. She is punctual, reliable and friendly. We could relax, know that she was taking care of our cats. We enjoyed getting photos and updates.”

About: I have a deep love for animals that has been with me since childhood. I am currently in the process of establishing my own animal foster care facility, catering to all kinds and breeds. It is my dream to provide peace of mind to families in need of care for their pets while they are away on business or vacation. I believe in ensuring that all pets are properly cared for, loved, and happy. I am dedicated to giving as much love as possible to all the little creatures in my care. I make sure that my own pet has plenty of adventure and companionship for a healthy and fulfilling life. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. 🩷🙌🏼 I am available to care for your pets on weekends as needed! Short term visits and long term visits for a Friday to Sunday if needed. I have two small dogs who are extremely friendly! I can also travel to your home as needed and stay with your pets from a Friday to Sunday. I can help on weekdays for drop-in visits…. However, I do not get done with work until 4pm. My two pups enjoy seeing new parks and love their hiking adventures - when they aren’t doing that, they are cuddling up at home with each other. I can help take care of your pets to your desired schedule / routine for them.

About: My mother breeds miniature Australian shepherds and I used to work with her for 10 years taking care of newborn, teenage, and adult dogs. I have done everything from training, bathing, giving medications, and plenty of animal loving! We would board all types of dogs big to small too. I grew up with many dogs in my household and know first hand how our animals are our children and how to care and make them feel so very loved. I am currently a flight attendant and my schedule varies month to month. The days that I am home I will be able and can send you my schedule a month in advance. I have a spacious apartment with a dog park attached as well as a wonderful walking trail to get your furry loved one the exercise they need. I do have a cat that keeps to himself but loves dogs. If you’re dog just wants the company I do allow dogs on my couch and bed. Have plenty of toys, water and food dish, and pee pee pads just in case.

“Sydney did a great job of keeping me informed about my dog while I was away. She was fabulous with him and very friendly. She followed all instructions perfectly and made me feel reassured my pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend!”
