“I can't say enough about how great Anne is as a pet sitter! I had no worries about my cat and her care while on vacation. Anne's communication was top-notch and it was super fun to get the updates from her each day :) This is the first time I've used Rover and I will definitely be rebooking and through it in the future.”

“Jessica has been so great with Phil! He needs to stretch his legs during our longer work days and Jess has been wonderful! She has given us the peace of mind as we transition to working out of the home full time!”

“Tori did a wonderful job again with our two cats. We came home from our vacation and they were happy and well cared for. We will definitely ask Tori for our future bookings!”

“Heather was very communicative and accommodating. She was flexible to work with me on my needs for my cat. I enjoyed getting to see her pictures every day with the Rover Card.”

About: I have cared for animals since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have asked me to petsit, walk, bath and help care for their animals. I can care for puppies/kittens to seniors and everyone in-between. I rely on positive reinforcement for training. I can administer medications, trim nails and other care required. I have worked as a Vet Tech and currently I am in school to become a certified Vet Tech. I am currently in school with mostly online classes so I can seamlessly accommodate your pets care. I will send daily updates and/or photos if requested. I care for your pets from the comfort of your home giving you piece of mind while traveling while your pet will be less stressed.
“In my insane time of getting ready to sell a house, get out of the house for a weekend to show and have an open house, the most sane time of it all was finding someone like Carol to take care of our cat. My husband and I were sure this was not going to work due to our cat not being the most social and very vocal when not happy but my sense of relief was when we walked in and our cat just walked around Carol’s house like she owned it. I really think she felt a good vibe on this place and updates from Carol with picture of our cat Sally proved it. Thank you Carol!”
“Kaitlyn is hands down the best! We were gone for a week on a trip and booked with Kaitlyn to drop by twice a day to feed our cats. She was very accommodating and took great care of our cats! Out cats might think she is their new owner now because she was so good to them haha. We will only book with Kaitlyn, she is awesome!!”

“Sarah took care of our cats, and I’ve came back to a clean fresh litter. She even clean some of the cats poop outside of the litter and feed/refill water. Definitely recommend her services. Thank you!”

“Our cats were very well taken care of. Samantha provided daily feedback and pictures. She even got the picky one to eat and sit with her. Would happily have her pet sit for us again.”

“Alexia was fantastic — she did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. She was communicative, our cats liked her, and she made sure everyone was well taken cared for.”


About: Hello, my name is Hanna! I live in Crystal, MN, and I’m a dedicated pet lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve done many overnight stays and house-sitting gigs for families who trust me to keep their pets happy, safe, and well-loved. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, and I currently share my home with my sweet 7-year-old cat, Kanga, who I adore coming home to every day. My own 3-year-old Golden Aussie has megaesophagus, so I’m very experienced with managing chronic conditions, administering medications (pills, liquids, you name it), and following special feeding routines. I also cared for my parents Golden who had epilepsy his whole life, so special-needs pups are no problem, I’m patient, attentive, and always put their comfort first. I have a very flexible weekday schedule right now, so I’m available for drop-ins, walks, occasional boarding, or longer stays during the week. Weekends can be a bit unpredictable, but I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet! I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family. Feel free to message me to set up a free Meet & Greet. I can’t wait to help care for your pets like they’re my own! I have a very flexible weekday schedule right now, so I’m available for drop-ins, walks, occasional boarding, or longer stays during the week. Weekends can be a bit unpredictable, but I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet! I have a fully fenced in yard and an extremely friendly golden Aussie. I can take your dog on walks or let them run around in a yard, whatever is preferred. I can crate your pet if desired, but I love to cuddle up with them on the couch/ bed.
About: I was raised in a home always surrounded by cats and dogs. One of my favorite memories is hosting “spa days” for my grandparents’ four little dogs — Kat, Hope-So, No Doubt, and Gadget. I’d spend entire afternoons bathing them, brushing them, and even braiding their hair. Now as an adult, I still get to enjoy what I loved most as a kid — caring for my own pups. I’ve even started a small business called Cashery. Where I develop and bake handcrafted dog treats. As a dog mom of two rescue pitbulls, I am especially tentative to special requests. I held a lot of anxiety when I first introduced my dogs to the community. Unaware of their reactivity, friendliness and other behaviors. I want to ensure everyone regardless of breed, size or temperament, I am there 100%. I got to learn first hand how to adapt and care for specific personalities. Why are my rates so low? Because my heart has always been in animal care, I offer hands-on services in my community. I chose to keep my service rates intentionally low so I can support pet owners who truly need a financial break. I ask that these reduced rates be used on the honor system — reserved for those who genuinely need it and recognize their own ability to pay fairly when they can. P.S. I hope your animal(s) love treats! Wednesdays are dedicated for my services. As well as occasional weekends. My schedule is out typically one month ahead. Do not hesitate to reach out with any questions outside of what’s listed under services and the schedule. Currently, I am not able to care for your pets in my home. This is something I look forward to expand in the near future!
“I’ve booked with Melody countless times now and my cats seem to have taken a liking to her. I really appreciate that she is always punctual even with a 7am drop in. She is very great at communicating throughout her visits even though I may not be available to answer right away. I’m always grateful that she is usually available for my last minute trips. I highly recommended and I will be booking with her in the future.”

About: Our entire lives have always been rooted in puppy love. We’ve been active in the foster and rescue community for years-raising our own pups from as young as eight weeks old, supporting our pregnant rescue dog through delivery and whelping, and providing compassionate care for our senior dogs. Our experience includes managing picky eaters, following strict diets, administering medications (including home IV treatments), handling skin care needs, supporting incontinence and reinforcing basic obedience house training and grooming. We’re confident and comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of needs. I work full time from home and my husband works outside of the home with a flexible schedule. Our schedules combined ensure that our pups have plenty of time for play, naps and potty breaks. Our pups have supervised access to the main areas of our house and a fully fenced in backyard while we are home and we will always follow your pups routine to keep things comfortable and safe for your pet. When we are away from home we are generally only out for a max of 4 hours, we have plenty of room for your pups kennel and are able to gate off areas to ensure your dog is safe and feels at home. Dogs are allowed on the couches and beds if they like. My flexible schedule allows for drop-in visits for early mornings and after 5pm, mid-day drop-in visits can also be provided too if near the Robbinsdale area, boarding booking we can flexible to fit your needs. Our two dogs, Don Vito (2y/o) and Carmine (1y/o) are well socialized with all ages and sizes of dogs, they regularly play with the neighborhood dogs, indoor/outdoor dog park regulars, road trips to friends and family members home with dogs & cats and LOVE going on outings to dog friendly breweries and patios. For first timers, we suggest an intro play date and sniff session at our place to help ensure your pup will feel comfortable at our home, we will only take in dogs from one household at a time to ensure your family member is comfortable while you are away. We’ll share daily photos and video updates, we also have indoor Wyze cameras in the living room and near Carmine’s crate so we can keep a watchful eye on the pups whenever we’re out or overnight. We have a fully fenced in backyard and can crate your dog if needed and follow their crate schedule. We also have baby gates to help keep your dog from the stairs and bedroom areas. One side of our backyard has a lower fence–if your dog is a jumper, they would land in our neighbor’s fence yard, not an open area. Our backyard provides plenty of opportunities for squirrel watching, our Australian Sheppard Blue, used to LOVE chasing them up the tree and into the neighbor’s yard. When the dogs are outside, we keep a close eye on them to help ensure they are safe, happy and have plenty of time to potty. Our pups LOVE to play with toys, Carmine is a heavy chewer so we keep the softer toys separate, he will definitely destroy them
“We have used Ciboney for 3 vacations now and every time she’s not only been available for our needy cat she’s been a great care giver. We can see our standoffish cat warmup throughout the visits in the daily photos and in turn that makes us all the more comfortable leaving Gidget behind. Thanks Ciboney!”

About: I’ve had animals all my life, currently have 2 yr old lab mix that keeps me on my toes! We both enjoy being outside or at the park! Currently working from home full time, plenty of extra time and energy for more animals in life. My hours are from 7-5 Monday through Friday. Yard and smaller house in north Minneapolis, available for short term in home boarding. Walking and in home drop in’s would need to outside these hours!
Golden Valley cat parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica was great! She followed the few instructions I had for the cats and was super attentive to them. The cats came out of hiding to greet her and enjoyed the time they spent with her. Would definitely have her watch them in the future and recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter!!

Hannah is AH-MAZ-ING!! I had to go out of the country for two weeks and my biggest concern was my precious cat Bella and my two big, beautiful goldfish. When Hannah and I first met I expressed my anxiety about my trip and her immediate response was, "How can I help you?" I was immediately relaxed by her sincerity, we had a nice conversation, and she asked great questions. I felt that Hannah was the just the right pet sitter and it gave me true peace of mind. She was indeed great, Bella quickly warmed up to her, particularly loving the daily brushing Hannah gave her. Hannah even noticed one of my goldfish not acting himself and reached out to me right away. From our communications she tested the water, found the issue, and was able to treat it. My goldfish rebounded quickly. I'm so grateful that she was so observant! I will definitely request her pet care services when I travel again. I couldn't ask for a more reliable sitter for my pets.
