Respond quickly to all requests, dog introduction can be done by me if unable to meet ahead of time or i can seperate dogs for short stays. I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life, usually managing a two-dog household since I was 10 years old.

Let’s connect to discuss how I can best care for your furry family member! Flexible Home Environment & Unlimited Yard Access: Because I work from home full-time, your dog will receive constant attention and care. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing pets to access the backyard whenever they like. Whether your dog prefers to go on walks, play hard, or just chill out solo or with a group, I accommodate their natural rhythm. Dogs are welcome to sleep and play wherever they feel most comfortable. I offer a relaxed, highly adaptable environment while maintaining the highest standards of safety and care.

About: I have experience with (and love) dogs and cats; old and young, big and small. I have experience walking, feeding, and administering meds for both dogs and cats, as well as supervising groups of both large dogs and small/medium dogs. I have four cats, as well as experience caring for cats in pet hotel and cat-sitting settings. I've always valued making new furry friends since I was little, and I can't wait to work with yours! I work from home and can easily make time in the mornings and late afternoons/evenings, so visits are no problem to schedule. I do travel a little for work, but I’ll keep an eye on my availability calendar and input those dates a few weeks out whenever possible. We live in a very walkable neighborhood with a parkway, so leashed walks are always an option. There’s also a fenced dog park nearby, so if your dog likes other dogs we can hang out there.
“Samantha has been taking care of this little fur family in various forms for a couple years now. I always feel confident that she is making sure they are getting what is needed and all the snuggles. Thank you!”
“Jamie did great dropping in on our puppy and dog. Our puppy was having tummy issues and Jamie was flexible with our change in plans and took great care of both pups!”
“Elizabeth is great! She’s so friendly and was excellent with our 5 month old puppy. She’s prompt, respectful, and very dedicated to what she does. Highly recommend her for your next Rover.”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was born. I'm very comfortable and confident in giving them love and care! I've helped dog sit for my parents, friends & neighbors. I also had the amazing joy of raising a Boston Terrier to the blessed old age of 15. I helped train him as a puppy and in new ways once he lost his hearing and had memory loss in his senior years. I feel like it's a treat just having a fury presence in the house. My husband and I are both drawn to animals. I feel like they make the world a better place! They certainly add joy to mine! I work from home part-time, so that leaves me plenty of time to walk, play with and snuggle your pups! I'm available for boarding both weekdays and weekends. I have a nice size lot to get your dogs out whenever it is needed and also have many great parks & trails nearby for taking a nice long stroll. I am happy to have pets on furniture and sleep in a bed but also can give them the care they are used to (crate sleeping, dog bed, etc). Most important is that they feel comfortable!
“Promise is an awesome doggy Sitter. She is very flexible and accommodating with her schedule. I know my little Rocco is safe and having fun whenever he is with Promise.”
“My cat can be a bit of a handful and Maddy handled her with kindness and professionalism. Overall great care for my cat and great communication with me. Would definitely rebook!”
About: I grew up with dogs, and miss them dearly in my life! Friends, neighbors and family have relied on me for years to take care of their pets: while away traveling, or in hardships. From closely monitoring my friend's cat after surgery when she couldn't call off work, to weeklong stays in family homes with rambunctious puppies, I've done it all. I've always had a passion for animals, including exotic pet care! I have personally kept a freshwater aquarium and understand that fish and reptile care is much more detailed and intensive than many may first assume. You can rest easy knowing your pets will be in good hands, and will be given the detailed care and attention they deserve. I'm currently in recovery from a chronic pain condition. This gives me incredible flexibility to take on care at any time, and give your pets the attention they deserve! Depending on my health, my availabily may fluctuate, but now that I'm finally on the upswing I'm ready to be active and my abilites will only increase in the coming months! I am currently not offering care through my own home, but I am happy to provide check ins on many varieties of pets! I adore reptiles and exotic pets, and will happily feed, administer care, and help wear them out by playing inside, in the yard, or walking the nearby area.
About: New info- for my canine clients who are kennel trained- We have several spacious kennels and dog beds so rest assured that you dont have to bring yours. The kennels and dog beds are both washed and sanitized in between pups. We also have a dog bowls and extra poop bags on hand. For your elderly pup, pups that have recently had surgery or those with little legs- We have a doggie ramp for our stairs. I have been a pet owner for the past 20 years, mostly cats, but a few dogs. I will probably be a pet owner for the rest of my life. When I was younger I volunteered at my local animal hospital. I have previously had a Pomeranian (who was prone to seizures) as well as a terrier. I currently belong (yes they own me) 3 cats, Callie (aged 10), Simba (aged 7) and Soxxs (age unknown at least aged 5). I can't wait to meet your furry friend and have lots of fun together. I work full time Mon- Fri, so this is will be after work and on the weekends. I am willing to watch senior dogs and special needs dogs, as I believe that every dog needs love and care. I look forward to meeting you sooner rather than later. I have a fenced in yard. We do kennel when we are out of the house and during meal times to ensure your canine doesn't eat something they aren't supposed to. Winter boardings- we use pet safe sidewalk salt in addition to wiping off paws after walks. I work Mon- Fri, I am home on the weekends, as well as my husband is off on Sunday & Monday. Pets are always cared for as we are on opposite shifts. We provide plenty of walks and love for your pets. We usually stays away from dogs parks just because other dogs could be more aggressive. FAQ's: What to bring- a blanket/dog bed, toys, treats, food, leash/harness/leader, medicine (if applicable). For heat sensitive breeds: our house does have central a/c and we do have wood floors- which helps keep your pup cool. We do a potty break & breakfast in the morning (between 6 & 7 am), several walks thoughout the day. We do have littles so we do crate during meal times. We do one last potty break in the evening (between 8 & 10 pm) This can be changed as each pup is different and has different needs. We do potty breaks through our the day and several walks. My husband and I are on opposite schedules so someone is always home with the pups. We do keep dog soap on hand in the event a bath is needed.
“Sue is a very kind and compassionate person. She took care of my senior dog Joey. I could tell Joey was very comfortable with her by seeing all the pictures of him and the many detailed texts that I received from Sue. Would use Sue again in a heartbeat!”
“Jessica was great! Very friendly, communicative and made sure I received complete updates about my cats. I could tell they were cared for properly and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Anna is great! She always does an amazing job with our dog. She provides wonderful updates and photos. She is very reliable and an excellent communicator. Our dog loves to see and spend time with her. I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Kristen is INCREDIBLE with both our cat and dog! It’s rare to find a sitter that works so well with both so we always feel so lucky when we’re able to book Kristen as our sitter.”

Alex has been an amazing sitter for me and my pup multiple times now. This past time in particular he went above and beyond in trying to get a hold of me when the door lock would not open. I greatly appreciate his commitment to make sure my pup was well taken care of. I will be booking him again with zero hesitation.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Golden Valley stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Golden Valley choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Golden Valley with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
