Amy did a great job in our first drop in visit with Willa! There was even a last minute curve ball with the unannounced visit from the lawn care guy but Amy was able to adapt to the situation and made sure our pup was safe! Will definitely be going back to her for future drop ins!

Emma was amazing! She updated me everyday how my cats were doing and sent the best photos of my girls each day too. The house was clean when I got home. But most importantly she really loved on both of the girls fulfilling their individual needs while I was away. My playful cat got time to play each day and my older cat even warmed up enough to lay on her chest and get some extra pets and kisses each day. I was halfway around the world in a country and I was not worried about the wellbeing of my cats or my house while I was away and that meant everything! I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend using Emma if you need a sitter! ❤️

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—starting on my family’s farm in southwest Minnesota with dogs, horses, sheep, and plenty of barn cats. I’ve worked in animal shelters and vet clinics, caring for all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to reptiles and birds. I’m Low Stress Handling certified and have hands-on experience with walking, grooming, giving medications, and more. At home, I have two sweet senior Springer Spaniels and help care for family pets and farm animals. I love being outside—whether it’s hiking, walking dogs, or just soaking up the fresh air. Most of all, I love making sure animals feel safe, happy, and loved—just like family. I am a free-lance graphic designer and baker, otherwise I have been a stay-at-home mom. Both kids are now in school full time, and I have started a part time job at Dakota Pet Hospital as a Client Care Representative. I cannot walk my own dogs, due to their mobility restrictions and age, so why not walk yours! I would be caring for your pet in your home and around your neighborhood through walks, drop in visits and play times. I want to get to know you and your pet so that we know that we will work well together. I want you to feel safe having me caring for your furry family member and best friend, and I want to feel safe and comfortable with your pet(s). I want to see how you interact with your pet so that I can give them the type of care they are used to receiving!

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I have dog sat in home and at my home walking them, bathing them, and loving on them. We love dogs at our house! Between me and my husband we are home most of the day! Your dog would only be alone for a hour or two a day. We walk our dog every night. We have a 2 level townhome and we gate off the stairs when we are not home. We have a little yard right out of our front door and then many open area right around us.

About: Hi! I’m Alex, and I’d love to be your dog’s next best friend! ❤️🐶 Animals have been a huge part of my life from day one—my dad was a veterinarian, we had multiple cats and dogs at home and I spent much of my childhood helping out in his clinic. That early experience gave me a deep understanding of animal behavior, care, and most of all—a serious soft spot for furry friends. Sorry scaly guys, you just aren’t for me. ❌🐍🦎 I’ve had many different breeds in my home and I currently have a sweet English Setter who loves to run and snuggle as much as I do. I’ve helped potty train and teach basic obedience to my puppies, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs and understand their needs. Whether it’s a long walk, a drop-in visit, or a cozy day at my home, your pup will be treated like family—spoiled with love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs. I’m an active person and a runner, so if your dog loves to get outside and burn energy, I’m your girl! I offer: ✅ Dog walking ✅ Daytime drop-ins ✅ Doggy daycare ✅ Doggy House sitting ✅ Limited boarding (non-reactive dogs and kid-friendly dogs only – I have two young children at home) I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment and truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I know how much your pets mean to you, and I promise to treat them with the same care and love I give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! 🐾 I’m currently working a hybrid, part time position and care for my two preschoolers. My schedule gives me flexibility for walks during the day most days of the week and long runs on Mondays, Fridays and the weekend. I have limited availability for house sitting and boarding through the week, please inquire with specific times. I hope to become a part of your weekly pet care routine. I treat your pet as my own. I ensure a secure leash when walking and I have a fenced in yard at my home in a quiet residential area. I am also able to crate your pet as needed.

About: I have had pets my whole life. Dogs and cats. From puppy and kitten to old age. The occasional foster to raising and training my own. The days would need to ge felxibile cause my workdays change weekly, otberwise, any day available and, anytime over the weekends. I go for a walk or run everyday depending on the weather and could absolutely go for a walking buddy! I treat all pets as if they were my own. They deserve love and care just like all others. All my pets have had a heel or come command in need for run aways or safety measurement of theirs and mine.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of every kind since I was 14 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in on their pets. Yes, I watched cats as well. Don’t tell my dog! In my house our lives revolve around them. That of course doesn’t mean that they run the house, but we plan around them. My favorite sound and site are when they are eating: because to me it means they are safe and happy! I am working from home so I can be there for the dogs. Other than shopping and chores, im around. I can make my schedule flexible to accommodate 4 legged guests. I have a fenced yard so your dog can go out to sniff and do their business. I am also walking the dogs at least once a day, sometimes 2 short walks

Melissa is exceptionally caring and had a wonderful approach with our Great Dane, Kota. She left the perfect level of details after each of her visits and was thoughtful about our dogs knee (recovering from surgery) while still giving her plenty of time to play. Our dog was clearly comfortable and happy to see Melissa each visit- which is saying a lot for an anxious pup! Could not recommend Melissa more highly!!

This is our first time leaving our Nina at home and using someone outside our immediate family or friends to help. I am so impressed at how smooth it was. Maven’s professionalism, the updates with pictures and Nina’s pure content in those photos made it so much easier for us to enjoy our vacation. Thank you so much Magen, we will come back!! :)

About: When your pet stays with me, they are family, and treated as such. I have experience with elderly and hospice pets as well as special-needs pets, young puppies, medication management and administration (liquid, pill, and injections) and some training experience as well. Well versed in pets with special care requirements (i.e. animals with anxiety, reactivity and/or other behavioral challenges). Because I work from home, I can be with your pet throughout the workday, and can easily step away to give your pet potty breaks and attention. I prefer to do house-sitting based pet care, as I’ve found that animals are most comfortable in their home environments. I am also happy to water any plants that may need it, as long as instructions are provided. Happy to work with large animals, amphibians, fish, and reptiles as well. Do note that house-sitting based pet care includes light house maintenance/cleaning as well such as vacuuming and laundering the guest sheets used. I like to leave the houses I care for as neat (if not neater) than they were upon my arrival. I work from home and can easily step away to care for your pet. When pet sitting, I generally don’t leave the house I’m sitting at for more than a few hours at a time, so your pet has reliable supervision and company. I am pet CPR and first aid certified through Red Cross. I am a very cautious and risk-aware person, always mindful of keeping doors and gates shut and ensuring the environment I’m pet-sitting in is safe and secure.

Shannon was fantastic with our pups! We were a last minute booking due to other plans falling through and I couldn’t have asked for better care for the dogs! She sent us many pictures throughout her 30 minute visit. I knew my dogs were well cared for. I will definitely use Shannon again in the future. :)

Payton was great with my energetic pup! He is not the easiest dog to wear out and every time I got home he seemed content and happy with the attention she gave him. Will definitely book her again next time i need someone to check in on him.

This was our first experience using a sitter and it was the best. We felt so comfortable with Emma, and the way she loved our babies. She went above and beyond making sure they were taken care of and gave them so much attention. They were not used to strangers but the loved Emma! Would definitely use her again and again! Thanks Emma!

This was my first time using Rov. services as Bailey does not like boarding when we take him! I am glad I chose Rov. services and Amy as the caregiver. Amy was very detailed on Baileys activities from the time she entered until leaving. She provided pictures of Bailey as well. I will diffently be using Rov.moving forward, and having Amy as our permanent caregiver for Bailey! Thank you Amy for a wonderful experience!
