Alyssa was very responsive to questions, she came out to meet our two dogs prior to booking, she sent picture's and updates on how the dogs were doing during the week which was great. She took wonderful care of our dogs in our home while we were gone for 10 days. I would recommend Alyssa to take care of your pets anytime!

They were great. Played with our dog. Best is they stopped by to get to know Rocky before they were going to watch him. We will use them again.

Katherine has an easy sense about her. She came to my house for a meet and greet that went well. She sent an update during the 8 hours she was with my dog, Todd. I felt so comfortable leaving Todd with her.

About: I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, from large farm animals like cows and horses to household pets including dogs, cats, and rabbits. My background includes working with both family pets and farm animals, giving me experience with different temperaments, routines, and care needs. In addition to my professional and educational experience, I also raise and care for my own animals, including rabbits, poultry, dogs, and cats. I am currently pursuing a B.S. in Animal Science with a minor in Histotechnology, along with a dual major in Canine Management and Training. My education has strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, health, handling, and proper care techniques. In addition to my schooling, I was involved in 4-H for 10 years and FFA for 6 years, where I gained extensive experience in animal husbandry, responsibility, and daily animal care. I have also worked as a kennel assistant in a veterinary hospital and as a stable hand at a horse rescue ranch, where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, exercise, monitoring animal health, and providing compassionate care. I am also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to ensure pets stay healthy and comfortable. What sets me apart is my combination of real-world animal experience, formal education, and genuine passion for animal care. I am comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I strive to provide safe, patient, and reliable care that helps pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident. I am currently a college student home for the summer, looking to stay busy. I work as a softball coach on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, as well as weekends. While I am not coaching, I am looking to spend my time with animals. Pets in my care are treated like family, and their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. At my home, we have 20 wooded acres with plenty of space for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. Dogs can enjoy supervised leash walks or long-line walks, depending on their needs and the owner’s preference. I always make sure pets are safely handled and closely supervised at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions to make sure each pet gets the care they are used to. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.

Torri took excellent care of our four legged’s. Unfortunately, one of our animals had an unexpected medical crisis. Torri swiftly acted and handled the situation with care, professionalism, and love. She definitely served as our surrogate pet parent when we were 1300 miles away. Torri also left the house clean and tidy. Her pet care and house sitting was top notch. I would highly recommend Torri. Thank you, Torri.

Kaitlin was awesome! Our two big dogs loved hanging out with her and we were grateful that she was available to watch them all week. It's really nice knowing that your pets are well taken care of. Kaitlin sent us daily updates with pictures and we came home to happy, excited boys. Would book again in a heartbeat!

Aida was Awesome!!! Her communication was top notch with pictures and updates daily during our entire trip. Receiving Aida’s updates became a highlight of each day we were away. The photos and messages really allowed the entire family to enjoy our vacation more because we knew our guys were happy and doing well. We will be checking her availability for future travel when our pets aren’t able to go along.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Amber! We have multiple pets, including a very fickle and sometimes difficult Newfie, and she handled everything so patiently and confidently. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were being cared for by someone who truly understood them and took the time to make them comfortable. She provided frequent updates, pictures, and communication throughout the stay, which we appreciated so much. It was obvious our pets were getting lots of attention, care, and love while we were away. Coming home to happy, relaxed animals says everything. We will absolutely book again and highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate sitter — especially if you have large breeds or dogs with unique personalities!

About: I have a senior myself, she’s 13 and she’s an Australian cattle dog mix. I have a horse I lease and his name is Booker. I’m available everyday except for Monday’s. I get out of school at 2:15 pm. On the weekends I can do over night but on the weekdays I can only stay until 10 pm My dogs old so she just stays on the couch all day. When it’s time to feed her she takes her time and stretches then she goes and eats her food

About: I have been taking care of dogs and other animals for as long as I can remember! My family bred bully breeds for most of my life and I have 3 of my own that require a lot of extra care. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. I will take care of your pets like my own❤️! I have had just about every animal you could think of as well growing up and have a snake and bearded dragon currently if you have other animals that need caring for as well. I am new to rover but have plenty of experience with caring for my parents dogs, friends of my parents dogs, and a few neighbors pets. I currently work 9-5, Tuesday-Sunday in Blaine but have some flexibility and am available in the morning and evenings and all day Sunday and Monday! I have my own French bulldog boots who is the sweetest dog and I care for her through the day and I only have a part time job a couple days a week right now so my schedule is pretty much open! I have new beds, crates and a fenced in yard if needed care at my home. I stay at both mine and my significant others house , both perfect environments for dogs or small animals. I can care for your pet in your home as well if that is what you are looking for!

We had Rylee stay with our dogs for a week while we were out of town. First and foremost she is great at being attentive and asking questions. Rylee was the perfect balance of check in for us and met our expectations. Our dogs were happy and not anxious upon us returning. We plan on using her pet/house care in the future. Rylee was a great house guest and we felt pretty luck to have had her there with the pups!

Maren did a great job dog sitting our pups and we'd definitely have her watch them again. She's a clear communicator, conscientious, and gave us daily updates. She even went above and beyond to shovel snow off our deck more than she needed to for the dogs to go outside.
