House Sitting French River

“Clint was great with my new rescue pup, Orion. They had a fun time hanging out. I can’t wait to have him watch Orion again!”

“Lakaya was great watching our older dog Caspian! She sent us plenty of updates which put us at ease knowing our dog was well taken care of. At the end of our trip our flight back home was delayed by a day. Fortunately Lakaya’s schedule was open and she was able to watch our dog for another day while we couldn’t be home. We didn’t have to worry about Caspian for our whole trip!”

“Talia was great with our anxious pup and 2 kitties. She was communicative, timely and all our animals warmed up to her quickly. They were happy and healthy upon our return. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Talia again. Thank you!”

“Anna was great. My cats seemed to be very comfortable with her. Even my scardey cat Luna. It was nice to know they had company and were being fed. I would definitely hire Anna again. The house was clean when we got home and the cats were happy to see us. Anna spoiled them perfectly! Thanks Anna!”

Tara S.

“Emily was great! We have a really young dog and a really old dog… with very different personalities. Emily did great with them! The house was in great shape when we got back and the pups were happy and healthy! She was a great communicator. Will definitely use her as a dog/housesitter in the future!”

“Gracie did a great job with our elderly dog who gets meds. Got regular updates and house was tidy when we returned home. We’ll be reaching out again next time we’re looking for a dog sitter!”

Ben B.

“Liz was so great! She went above and beyond just caring for our dogs. It is such a relief to know you can trust that your pets are in good hands. Even left us cupcakes for when we returned :) Thank you Liz!!!”

“I can’t stress enough how reassuring it is to have someone I know my fur babies are comfortable with and also knowing they’re being well taken care of.”

About: I have had pets my whole life and have been dog sitting for 3 years now! I have taken care of dogs all ages and with that has come many different routines I have adapted to ensure they are feeling the best they can, from special meal recipes to different amounts of exercise (from a short walk around the neighborhood to playing fetch in a field for running and getting energy out) One thing I love to do during my visits is send pictures throughout my stays to you so you can feel less worried knowing they are doing great + to see the faces you miss the most! I completely understand that the worst part about doing something is leaving your loved ones behind so my goal is to make sure everyone feels safe and happy! I love to give all the snuggles to help them feel loved while you’re gone! I am currently a sophomore at UMD so I am available for boarding or to pop over for a visit/walk during the weekends and weekdays in the morning until 9am and after 3 pm! I have had many different environments while pet sitting, so I am great at kenneling them up, or making sure they can’t get into any trouble (or garbage) while being out!

“Nick was an awesome animal sitter! Reliable and communicative. We will book him again!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of dogs since I was young. My family has a 14 year old Great Dane who I consider my baby. We have also had other smaller dogs such as a mini Aussie doodle and an Italian greyhound. I have been pet sitting dogs since I was in middle school and I always enjoyed spending time with every dog I met. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and I have experience with lifting and carrying very large senior dogs with difficulty jumping, as well as caring for dogs with sundowners. I’m also pretty good at getting most dogs to take their meds. I’m a college student so I mostly have evenings and weekends free. Getting a few hours in outside of my regular schedule is really helpful to me. I am very respectful of your space and I want to make sure the dog feels comfortable most of all. I will carefully read the list of tasks I’m left and make sure that everything gets done so that you can come back home with no concerns about your house or your pet.

About: Hi! I’m Claire Loria and I have worked with a wide range of dogs! I grew up with dogs and work at a doggie daycare in my home town! I have cared for a wide range of size, age, temperament, and health! I believe every dog is a good dog and deserves the highest quality of care, patience, and love! I can’t wait to meet your dog and give them as much love as their boundaries with a new person allows! I’m currently a senior in high school, but have open periods throughout my day to stop in with pets, I have a part time job but my scheduling is very flexible. I play soccer but again, have time both before and after to care for a number of pets! I have a fenced and a largely pet friendly house, we are completely used to muddy paws and other messes dogs and puppies make! I live near a perfect hiking location and near a great park for dogs to run around it. If needed I can easily kennel a dog with our extra kennel, and we always have plenty of supplies to take care of dogs!

About: Hi! My name is Mara, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and your home while you’re away. I have grown up with multiple dogs and have always loved being around animals. Over the years, I have also provided dog sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family members, caring for pets in their own homes, following their routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I will take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience providing more specialized care, including administering IV medication for an elderly animal I was watching. This experience taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attention to detail, and following care instructions carefully. My background working in childcare, summer camps, and other safety-focused roles has helped me become dependable, organized, and attentive. I will treat your pets like they are my own and your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently a full-time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I am happy to work with your pet’s routine to provide consistent and reliable care. I care for pets by keeping their routines consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow all care instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I treat each pet and home with the same respect I would want for my own. I am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.

“Chrissy was amazing. She’s great with communication, sending updates with pictures and our pets adored her! We decided last minute to leave a day earlier than planned to get ahead of a winter storm and she was very flexible in making that possible. She had to deal with terrible weather conditions and made sure we knew our pets were being well taken care of. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!”

About: Hi! My name is Abigail, and I’m 24 years old. I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always felt like second nature to me. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, including dogs of all energy levels—from high-energy breeds that need structure and engagement to calm, easygoing companions like golden retrievers—as well as cats with a variety of personalities. I’m comfortable adapting my care to meet each animal’s unique needs. I currently offer in-home pet sitting, providing attentive care in your pet’s familiar environment so they can remain comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also provide basic training support and walking assistance, especially for owners who may need extra help keeping their pets active and well cared for. I’m open to caring for other animals as well, such as birds or reptiles, as long as clear instructions are provided to ensure their routines and needs are met properly. With availability during the second half of my week, I’m excited to grow my pet-sitting business long term. My goal is to earn trust, build strong relationships with both pets and owners, and eventually turn my passion for animal care into a full-time career. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I look forward to connecting with interested pet owners and would be happy to answer any questions. Wishing you a wonderful day! I currently work the first half of the week but am available after 4 PM on Wednesdays and anytime from Thursday through Saturday. With this flexibility, I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets during my off days. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions provided by the owner. I keep a clean, pet-safe space, supervise pets at all times, and never introduce new animals without permission. In a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I pay close attention to pets’ body language and behavior to keep them comfortable and stress free. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

“Rachel was amazing! I loved the updates she sent us and it was very clear that she took great care of our dogs. We will absolutely ask Rachel to housesit for our boys again in the future.”

Jordyn Z.

“Hannah was fantastic! She stayed overnight to watch our boys so we could have a night out, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She sent photos and updates throughout the night, which gave us total peace of mind while we were out enjoying a concert. She left the house neat and tidy, and it was clear the boys were in great hands. We'll definitely be booking Hannah again next time we need a Rover!”

About: I have had all types of animals since the age of 4: Dogs, rescue dogs, cats, bunnies, ducks, chickens, birds, horses, etc. It’s safe to say I have a ton of experience, knowledge, and confidence when it comes to caring for your furry friend! I am a public school teacher, so I won’t be available between 8am to 5pm during the work week. I am extremely flexible and can make most accommodations work. I am able to do anything to make your pet feel loved, safe, and comfortable in my care. This will require clear and direct communication about your pets character and habits to ensure your pet is happy and comfortable.

“Liz is amazing 5 stars, while I was away for work, Liz gave my dog Bodhi, a vacation like experience. I am very happy I found Liz through Rover.”

Jeff B.

“This was our first time hiring outside help from Rover, so we were not sure what to expect. Zach was a great housesitter and took special care of our senior dog. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry, which is truly priceless. We would happily book Zach again in the future!”
