“Busy work schedules have made the days very long for our dog Ziggy, Lindsey has been a tremendous help to get him out for a potty break and quick walk or play time. He has been much happier vs spending long days in the kennel. Lindsey is our HERO!”

“Subi boarded our cats in her home for an extended time and we are so thankful for her care, expertise, and everything she did to ensure our babies felt comfortable and well loved. She took time to understand and get to know our pets and their quirks and even introduced them to her beautiful cat Zen, making sure to go at a pace they were all comfortable with. She regularly sent us photos and updates throughout their stay and shared extra photos when we were really missing them. It was especially wonderful that Subi had all the luxuries that our cats are used to - litter robot and water fountains. I strongly recommend Subi for all your pet care needs!”

About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I give to every pet. I treat each animal like family and take the time to learn their individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I work part time, and my kids are all over 18, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and care they need. I enjoy having animals as part of my day and am happy to work with each pet’s individual routine, whether that means morning visits, afternoon check-ins, or evening care. I care for every pet as if they were my own. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of animals almost my whole life I’ve dog walked my neighbors dog and watched them and taken care of them I’ve trained my own dog with walking and take care of me and my boyfriends dog I’ve helped taken care of friends dogs and cats. I love animals and I would love to meet your family members pets are more than pets there family. I’m currently working part time and would love to work with your pets, I am available during Monday-Thursday anywhere before 2pm and fridays after 3pm and weekends are very open for me. I have three cats! They love to cuddle and play all the time I also use to have two dogs we would go for walks all the time and play and I have 10 plus years of experience with animal care and would love to care for your fur babies!

About: I've loved animals all my life. I got my first puppy when I was about 13 years old, full of pre-teen enthusiasm for learning all about dog behavior and puppy training strategies. Now that my own beloved dog is no longer with us, I've found myself wishing I had more opportunities to connect with animals on a regular basis. I've taken every chance I could to pet sit for friends and acquaintances over the years, but recently I realized that I could also be using Rover to make pet care a more regular part of my life! Since I'm also meant to share something here that makes me "stand out" as a sitter, I'll say that animals do tend to feel particularly safe and relaxed around me. If I were to take a guess as to why that is, I think I would say that it's probably a combination of: 1) genuinely loving pets and wanting to have a positive interaction with them, 2) not bringing anxious energy into the room, which I think is something that most pets can sense, and 3) knowing enough about animal behavior to not escalate any existing anxieties or aggression. As someone who has had a beloved pet, I know how important it is to find someone to care for your pet that you can trust to accommodate their particular needs, and to create a safe, happy environment for them while you're away. If you'll trust me to be that person, then nothing would make me happier than to give your pet an amazing visit, walk, or staycation! I work full time (8 hours M-F) in Arden Hills, but I have a fairly flexible work schedule. My preference for pet care would be to mostly fit it in before and after work (my hours can usually be adjusted based on a pet's daily schedule), but I also have the flexibility to pop out for short walks in the middle of the day, if needed. I can also work from home if absolutely necessary, but I would not wish to do that frequently. I am not able to host pets in my home at this time, but if I can come and care for your pets at their own home, I am happy to follow whatever instructions you give for how to make your pet feel happy and safe and cared for during your absence! I am a careful instruction follower, so I will refer back to any information you can give me about what your pet is accustomed to when you are home, and how you would like me to care for them when you're gone. If you feel nervous at all about leaving them, I'm also more than happy to send regular updates to you about how they are doing!

“Jennifer did a wonderful job of keeping our kitties fed and happy while we were gone for 2 weeks. So reassuring to know she was there to take care of them. Thanks Jennifer!”

“Emily was wonderful with our kitty Rain. She was patient with her, as Rain is nervous in new environments and allowed her to move at her own pace.”

About: Life-long crazy dog lady. I will spoil your pooch (or kitty) with attention, pets, walks, and playtime. I have experience with timid and defensive animals, and I can give your fur-baby as much (or as little) space as they need. I have flexible work hours which allow me to be home a few days a week. Otherwise, I only leave the house to go to the gym and the grocery store. While I generally consider myself a night owl, I am happy to accommodate for morning walks and feeding schedules. I have experience dealing with runners, biters, barkers, food-hoarders, and everything in between. I never go to off leash dog parks. I’ve been carrying pepper spray on walks since my dog and I were attacked by another dog on a walk- I don’t wear sound blocking headphones to stay aware of my surroundings. Responsible pet ownership is my jam!

About: I lived with 2 cats for a majority of my life. I have experience watching animals for family and friends, looking to meet new best friends. I am currently working full time and going to school part time to earn my master’s degree. Looking for a fun side job to keep life interesting. I am open to having the animals out in the open or crated when not around. Would love to have a yard to play with animals, but not opposed to going to local parks.

About: I’ve taken care of many doggies and kitties in my last 10 years. I can walk them, feed them (any allowed treats will be given), I can administer their medication. I also take care of kitties! I clean litter boxes, feed them, play with them and give them premium chin scratches! It fits perfectly. I love to create a routine with regular walks and form bonds with the kitties or puppies! I am not afraid of any breed, they are all puppies in my eyes. I make them as comfortable as possible, I treat them with respect and love. I always follow the directions provided by the owner to the letter!

About: I have a bit more varied experience than some. When I was young, we had a veritable zoo, and I haven't stopped having animals since. I've never not had a dog and was made responsible for over 30 miniature horses whenever their owner needed it. I also have experience with ferrets, cats, parakeets, parrots, and lizards. I will say if you need to look after something more exotic (and demanding) we would need to talk first. My dog is also quite old and has a lot of health problems, so I am familiar with handling these. I work Mondays from 12-7 and Tuesdays through Thursday I work 10-4. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I have mostly open availability with the exception that I occasionally have work events. Each animal is different, and so I would strive to find that balance with your dog. Every dog plays a bit different or might need their food handled differently. While I can't take animals into my home at the present, I will strive to be as careful with meeting their needs as I do my own pup at home.

About: My partner and I will work together to provide the best services to other pet parents as we can! By having us as a team support one another, we're able to help more pet parents with their needs! 😊 Cassie: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. When I bought my first house in 2019, I adopted a senior dog who was scheduled to be euthanized simply because her owner passed away and nobody else could take her. She inspired me to want to take care of senior babies who may have additional needs not everybody can manage. I have experience administering oral and topical medication (no needles) for both dogs and cats. Justin: I’ve had at least one dog in my life from the day I was born. From very social Springer Spaniels, to very shy Australian Shepards to our current Lab Gus and Eskie Sue. I’m capable of administering oral and topical medication for both dogs and cats. I’m also very good creating a safe and comfortable environment for all cats and dogs and am happy to meet your animals before appointments to gain their trust. Since there's two of us, we do our best to flex schedules to make things work. Cassie works from home full-time and Justin has a hybrid schedule working 3 days in office and 2 days from home. Cassie has a strong attention to detail, so we will follow instructions closely to ensure the safety of all parties involved. We both have experience with dogs and cats, so we know to be careful to avoid any potential issues.

About: My husband Jeremiah and I are huge animal lovers and would love to care for your animal while you are away. I’m often known as the ‘animal whisperer’ because my friends and family’s animals always seem to love me. Jeremiah has always been an animal lover and had his last dog for 15 years. He’s is home full time and has tons of energy and loves playing with dogs, going to the dog park, and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. We have a dog and 2 cats of our own so we’re definitely and animal loving household. We’ve even watched some guinea pigs on this app! We have a spacious home with lots of room to play and relax plus a big yard that we are planning to fence in the spring. Until then we use long leads for outdoor play and make sure everyone gets plenty of walks. We can also care for your cat. We love cats just as much and are happy to help with drop in visits, feeding, litter boxes, playtime or whatever is needed. We would love to care for your pet! We are available for drop in visits, walks and dog sitting. We will make sure your dog gets plenty of love, affection. excercise and relaxation as needed. We are available for dog/house sitting at your home as needed. We are available for drop in visits with cats as well. We love to take dogs to the dog park, take them on walks, give lots of petting and snuggles. Your pet will be very well loved while they are in our care.

About: I have so much love to give for your pet! I will take care of them like my own. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have a sweet spot for them! I work remotely so if need be I can come work at your place if I need to stay for awhile. I can also stop in at flexible times throughout the day and night when need be. I will cater to your pets environment, whether that is feeding them, walking them, playing with them or giving them plenty of pets and love and care!

“Tayler was able to come watch our kitties on short notice and took great care of them and our home!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about four years and worked in a veterinary hospital for three years. I have cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, and even farm animals. With my veterinary experience, I understand animal behavior and basic medical needs, allowing me to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time as a waitress, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive, consistent care for pets. When I have advance notice, I can adjust my work schedule to accommodate pet sitting needs. For overnight stays, I prioritize spending most of my time in the pet’s home to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I like to follow routines, maintain a clean and secure environment, and provide plenty of attention and supervision. With my past experience, I’m attentive to behavior changes and health needs to ensure safe, reliable care.

“Alexandria was awesome! She was very responsive and made sure to send pictures and updates upon visiting. Both my cats seemed very mellow and relaxed when I returned! They were very well taken care of. Would 100% recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, chickens mainly for family and friends, some neighbors. I very good with young hyper dogs considering I have a miniature Aussie. I also have a 12 senior dog who can only go on 15 min walks. I love all animals wether it’s watching/playing with them or taking them on walks! Pet care fits into my schedule cause I’m a young hairstylist who is trying to fill up her books. Being a new hairstylist isn’t easy and I want to fulfill my time well considering bills I have to pay each month I am very comfortable with animals depending if you want me to spend the night or not. I’m very flexible with coming and going or simple taking them on walks. I love to take my own dogs on walk and runs as well!
