“He did a good job walking my pup.”
“Terri was incredible. Alex was excited to see every day! She was prompt and sent feedback and pictures every walk. Looking forward to her help in the future!”
“Jeff was fantastic with my pets. He made sure to tend to every detail and took my dog on long walks. My cat requires daily medication, and Jeff made sure to take care of her medical needs every day. He made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog and cat in his care. I will definitely reach out to Jeff again for my pet care needs!”
About: My career goal is a physician assistant (PA) and my love for providing quality care isn’t limited to humans! I have experience with cats and dogs of varying breed, ages, and temperament. I am excited to have the opportunity to care for your loved ones and promise to provide dependable service :) I am a recent graduate looking for a fun job before PA school! My week is wide open and I’m willing to accommodate your busy schedule I’m here for whatever your fur-baby may need! Whether that’s playing, going for walks, pet sessions, or just keeping eachother company. I’m flexible with the type of care your pet may require.

About: My name is Annalise and I have grown up with dogs all my life (My family had over 12 dogs during my whole childhood). My mother is a veterinarian so I am very familiar with various breeds of dogs, different temperaments, medications, etc. Our house has a large fenced in yard for your dog to play around in and explore. I would love to provide a safe, and fun experience for your dog! I am willing to provide a calm experience for the more timid dogs and an active lifestyle for those who need a walk each day! Flexible with individual needs and willing to provide whatever is needed to make sure your dog feels right at home. If you have any questions feel free to reach out, otherwise I am so excited to get to know you and your special pet! I’m currently a stay at home mom so your pup would have someone at home all the time to keep them company. We do not leave our dog alone for more than 4 hours, and that is a rarity. I can provide flexibility to whatever your dog may need during your stay. We have fostered many dogs with different needs and are able to adapt to whatever will make their stay a happy one :)
About: I’m that person who will wind down my window at a red light to say hi to a dog, go out of my way to pet a dog, and talk to a dog like it’s human. I promise to care for your dog as if he or she is my own. I have experience with little dogs, big dogs, and everything in between. I am happy to come to your home to care for your fur baby (or babies). I will be respectful of your space and ensure that any toys, leashes, etc are put back in their rightful place. I am happy to cater to any needs that your dog may have. I work from home Monday through Friday, so my schedule is flexible. I am happy to adjust my schedule to fit the needs of your pet(s). I provide care for your pets in your home based on their daily routines and give them all of my love! I can also walk your fur baby or babies for whatever length of time needed. I love cleaning (I’m weird like that 😂) so I will keep your home clean. I am happy to water plants, bring in mail, etc.

About: My pet sitting approach combines a lifetime of caring for animals and understanding their needs across their entire lifespan. I bring an intuitive connection with strength, patience, and diverse care experience, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and happy no matter the size or species of the lovable cutie. I am committed to making their time away from you as stress-free and enjoyable as possible! I'm currently looking to do pet care full time and am available for daytime, overnights and on short notice. I am centrally located near Minneapolis. At this time I am not set up to provide for pet care in my home. I am available to care for any pet in their home.
“Maddi is great! She has done great with our dog Dutch. If you are looking for someone is great with animals and a pleasure to work with you can't go wrong with Maddi!”

“Heather was great! She was prompt in all her appointments. Our puppy just loved her and everything went smoothly. She was very communicative and she sent pictures of their walk. I highly recommend Heather. We will certainly be working with her again!”
About: I've had dogs almost my entire life and have been taking care of the dogs of friends and family for the past 11 years. This ranges from absolute cuddle bug Yorkies to energetic labs. I work from 6-3:30 Sunday through Thursday, but making sure that the animals in my care have a regular schedule as best fits around that is key. First thing in the morning I'd be making sure the animals in my care have access to food and water and taken outside to do their business as applicable. Once I get home I recheck food and water needs and take care of their play and exercise needs. I have a fenced in yard and depending on the animal's needs, they can be crated or allowed to roam around the house. The specifics may vary depending on the type of pet and the owner's preferences or special instructions.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for so long. I don’t have one of my own right now but I’m very much able to take care of your pet and whatever it may need I currently work as a bus driver so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! Whenever you need me, I’m there! I cannot have any dogs in my home right now so I would need to stay in your home while I’m watching your animals. My dad is allergic to dogs so I’ll need to stay elsewhere
“Sandy was very thoughtful and reliable. Great energy and my pup seemed to feel comfortable right away. Would definitely recommend and plan to use her again.”
About: I have been the person that friends family refer to as the animal whisperer. My love for all animals is only equal to my love for family! They are one in the same. Wide open with notice. I make my own schedule so we can usually make it work around your time. Last minute works just fine if needed. Non fenced yard requires full attention on leash care that can vary in length depending on the animals specific needs. All hands and eyes on deck at all times by my own choosing

“We have employed Jordan numerous times to dog sit our dog - both in our home and in his. He is a very conscientious sitter - very careful ensuring that our dog was always safe. He tries to give our dog as much exercise and play time that she can handle. At his home, he has a fenced in backyard - but he doesn’t rely on the fence solely; he is always present to ensure safety. He truly seems to care about our pet - and other cats and dogs.”

Golden Valley dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kaitlyn is amazing!!! She was able to help us with our 1 year old GSD on short notice and was great. She was able to come the day after we reached out to her to meet Vala and get to know me and my fiance. She was extremely responsive during and after her days with Vala and made us feel very comfortable. It was our first time leaving Vala alone all day and because of Kaitlyn it went very well! I highly recommend her but selfishly hope that we can rebook her all the time!
Madilyn was great with our Am Staff. She was very prompt and professional and sent great pictures and updates about their daily walks. Highly recommend!
Sean came by to meet nahla for some dog sitting. He is a pro. We will for sure be hiring them to watch nahla over some weekends coming up this summer.
Our sweet girl loved having Logan come and walk her every day while we were out of town. Even though my older kids were home, it gave me peace of mind having Logan check in on our sweet girl. The extra attention was greatly appreciated. The updates were helpful. I highly recommend hiring Logan.
Braelyn was the best! She was great with Rocky and provided detailed updates and photos. I would love for her to walk Rocky again in the future.
Leah was great for Arf’s daily walk. She was on time, sent a report and pictures each day. She was accommodating when I needed to add an extra day and prompt to respond. We will definitely use her again!
Terri provided loving care for my dog Remi. Remi got snuggles on the sofa, long walks and looked forward to seeing her everyday. Terri was happy to work the special needs of my household. I highly recommend Terri to car for your fur babies.
