House Sitting in Forest Lake

“Alyssa was very attentive to the routine for our pups and kept us updated every day on how they were doing. This was the first time we used Rover and having someone stay at our house. Alyssa took photos and sent texts, which allowed us to relax knowing our babies were well cared for! We came home to a clean house and happy pups! Hopefully she will be available next time!”

“This is our second time working with Michael and we would love to have him back. He is reliable, communicative, and has a genuine love for animals.”

“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.”

Andrew M.

“Katherine did an excellent job watching my 3 dogs while we were away for 5 days. She kept me updated during the week which was very appreciated. And our house was so clean when we got home which was awesome! I will definitely use her again!”

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.

“Haley was awesome with my dogs. One is elderly and needs a little extra care and she was great with her! Excellent communication with if she was leaving and when she would be back! Would definitely use her again!”

“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.”

Ingrid A.

“Evelyn is a top-tier sitter. Great communication (lots of photos, keep me apprised of the goings on while I was away), super respectful (I think my house was cleaner when I got back than when I left it), and most importantly: my boys loved her. Would book with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Evelyn!!”

Emily W.

“Denise did a wonderful job with our 4 dogs. 3 of the 4 are elders and she didn’t miss a beat with their multiple feedings and different medications. We received lots of photos and communication from her. I’m an anxious dog mom and will definitely rebook with Denise and Brenna.”

Stefani E.

“Kaitlin was amazing and I felt so comfortable leaving my pups in her care. She communicated regularly and sent tons of pics (from which I could tell how happy the dogs were) and I swear the house was cleaner than when we left. I will definitely be using Kaitlin again and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

Sarah C.

“Will did a great job watching our Aussies. We came home to two calm dogs. They played outside with him and he was even nice enough to set our trash at the curb. Would highly recommend Will!!!! Will reach out to again.”

Emily G.

“Tiffany was great! She was very attentive to Dexter, taking him for walks and making sure he was fed per his schedule. She was very good at communicating their activities and very respectful of our home. I didn't worry at all while we were gone.”

Samantha N.

“Ava is a go to for us! She takes such great care of our 2 labs, Lola and Daisy. Ava shares photos and communicates well. She takes care of things at the house when needed. We really appreciate Ava being our go to.”

Amber M.

“Outstanding! My pets also got a pampered vacation. Kerian is responsible, loving and the pets soaked up the attention. Kerian is our #1 pet sitter!”

Vickie S.

“Teren provided great care for my 3 dogs for several days over the holidays. She stayed at my home and kept it well too. I look forward to using her again in the future.”

Shawn J.

“Aida did great with our girl Faye and the updates and pics she sent were so helpful in keeping me calm. This was the first time we ever used Rover and our first time leaving Faye alone since her pup brother crossed the rainbow bridge so I was pretty nervous. If you're thinking about reaching out to Aida, I would say definitely give it a shot! She has a lot of positive and friendly energy that your kiddo will love! Thanks Aida!”

Natasha

“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!

“Christine was very good with our 2 dogs and cat. While staying in our home, she left it clean and cared for it as if it were her own. Definitely will call again.”
