“Tammy did an excellent job and sent pictures and videos. She stayed with the cats for a nice long period of time and even got the scared to come out and say hello which is quite the testimony!”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover, dedicated veterinary technician, and proud dog and horse mom. With years of hands-on experience in animal care—both professionally and personally—I bring not only medical knowledge but genuine love and leadership to everything I do. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddle sessions, your pet will be treated like family. Reliable, responsible, and passionate about animals, I’m here to give your furry loved ones the care and attention they deserve when you can’t be there. Life’s busy—I get it! I’m flexible, balanced, and happy to help with short notice when possible. Open communication to ensure your pet’s needs are always met. Walks, treats, tidy paws, and tail wags! I follow your training tips and leave your space—and your pet—happier than I found them-with baths if needed 😝

“Rachel took care of our cat Olaf while we were out of town. Olaf usually hides with new visitors, but he immediately warmed up to Rachel! She did a great job communicating (updates, pictures, etc.) and followed the pet care plan perfectly. Couldn’t recommend her services more!”


About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs, and I truly love them equally—I could never pick a favorite. I currently have a cat of my own, and I’m often around dogs thanks to family and friends. I’d be happy to help take care of your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I work from home most days, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I make sure to take a midday walk around noon, so I’m always available for lunchtime strolls. I’m also comfortable with early morning or evening walks—whatever works best for you and your pet! I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety, respecting their space and routine based on your preferences. I’ll make sure they feel secure and cared for at all times. At home, I have one very friendly and social cat who’s used to being around other animals and people.

About: My name is Corrie and I love animals, I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and 2 kids. They mean so much to me. I have a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I love going for walks with my dogs. I have a big yard that's 2.5 acres and we roam around the whole thing. Some of it's long grass so I will check for ticks. I cut or file my own dogs nails as well and can offer that if needed depending how well the dog or cat does. I work full time but work from home some days of the week, Wednesdays and Fridays. We are available in evenings and weekends. Especially in the winter. We have a large yard. Most of the time we let the dogs out on a 50 foot leash for quick potty breaks. Rocky is allowed to roam a little. Otherwise we walk the dogs around the yard or neighborhood. Have a large crate when needed.


About: I have owned pets all my life, I have two cats and a dog. I used to foster dogs and loved it. I will treat your dog like family. I have a huge fenced in back yard, I work from home so I am home all day with your pet. My bailey girl is a boxer/lap mix and still all puppy at 2 years old and loves friends to play with. my cats are friendly but mostly hide when other animals are around. I work from home so will be able to care for your pet all day. I let them play outside and monitor with cold tempts so they aren't outside too long. I have fenced in yard. we take daily walks if weather permits. my dog is treated like family and one of my babies and I would treat your dog just the same.

“Carly checked on Drummond and Driscoll cats for a week everyday. They were able to get wet food and Carly made sure they had everything they needed. She checked on the litter robot as sometimes this malfunctions and added litter. They are very shy and newly adopted so she was not able to see them much but they were very happy when we came home! Thank you Carly for watching the boys as this is the first time owning pets and was nervous about trying this service but everything went smooth. I would book Carly again to watch my cats. We were able to see Yellowstone and grand Tetons national park and it was amazing!!”


About: My family has had dogs ever since I was born. I grew up understanding their tendencies & behaviors, & am able to ensure proper treatment for all personalities! I work a traditional M-F, 9-5 job. I work from home both Monday & Friday which allows plenty of play time & attention! If needed, I also have the flexibility to work from home other days too! We have a fantastic, fully fenced yard that we got installed to ensure that Nelly has room to roam outside as she likes! We are a non-smoking home & furniture friendly to all pets to ensure a comfortable stay!

“We couldn’t be happier with Ashley as our dog walker! She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. Our pup always comes back happy and tired after her walks, and Ashley goes above and beyond to give us updates and photos so we know how the day went. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets.”


About: Hi, I’m Isabella! I am an animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. I am ready to provide daily care, including feeding, walking, and basic grooming! I am very active and love to play. I am dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for all animals. I am a college student who is open 24/7! I am available from a quick walk to a 14 day stay. I have very open availability! I am very trained in handling dogs. I am capable of keeping a dog on the leash and crating a dog if needed. I am comfortable with about anything.

About: My name is Katherine, and I'm a wife and mother of two children. I have two pets, Ziva and Tony. Ever since I was young, I have loved dogs and cats. This love has become a passion that has led me to work with them daily. I have experience with all sorts of personalities, from nervous pups and kitties to overly friendly pups and kitties. I am comfortable giving medications like injectable medication, tablets/capsules, or liquid medications. I have experience with all ages, from younger pups/kitties to older pups/kitties. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday, but I am still available to care for your pet depending on what you need. Boarding in-house weekends only. If your pet feels more comfortable staying at their home, I can stop in multiple times and stay the night if desired. When your pup stays here (we are unable to board cats), they will have a large backyard to play in with Tony and Ziva. They can sleep wherever they want, from dog beds to furniture/beds. They will be loved as if they were my own. If your pup/kitty needs to stay in their safe space, I can stop in multiple times. When I stop in to check on your pup/kitty, I spend time with them, giving them some love. Or if needed, can stay over for overnight care.

“Hanna is so good with our boys! She keeps us informed, sends great pics, and is reliable. We have two pets that need medication, including insulin injections, and Hanna takes care of everything!”


About: I have been a responsible pet owner (dog mom) for 23 years. I have great deal of experience taking care of dogs, especially large dogs. I believe all dogs should be treated with love and kindness and as part of the family. I have gone through multiple dog training courses with my dogs I have had and I will implement those skills when I take care of your pet. I look forward to making a pawsitive impact for you and your pet! I currently work full time but I am available evenings and weekends for drop in visits, play time, and walks. My service area is Blaine, Circle Pines, Ham Lake, and Fridley. I will provide safe care in your home and follow all instructions and safety precautions that apply to your pet. As a dog mom to a reactive dog in the past, I realize the safety that is needed when walking a dog or visiting them at their home. Safety is the top priority of your pet and home.

About: I’ve had dogs as family members my whole life and absolutely love walking them and taking care of them. I’ve typically done dog sitting with smaller dogs for friends and neighbors, but growing up with bigger golden retrievers my whole life has me more than ready for any big pups out there! I currently work my summer lawn mowing job from 7 am to 3 pm on weekdays. But anytime after 3:15 or 3:30 I’m all for checking in on dogs and takin them on walks! For check ins at clients houses I’ll trust that the fur baby has a suitable environment at their home already. I will also ask owners where the pup tends to do their business and if they like to play inside or outside, as well as how much food they typically eat and at what time. Any detail needed for safety and trust I will cover!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 10 years old and I grew so much love for them. I enjoy being active with dogs and making sure that they get their playtime and I love cuddling cats and making sure that they’re getting the attention. I’m currently working full-time and I’m off by five every evening. And off at 3 on Mondays. And have Sunday and Wednesdays off I would love to take a day out of my week to play with your pups! My dog does not have a fence at the moment, so I’m constantly taking her on walks and making sure she’s going outside if your dog needs to be created or on a leash I would be willing to do so!! I enjoy taking my pup on walks

About: I just moved back to Minnesota in May 2025 and will be taking on new dog clients in the north metro. I have been taking care of neighborhood pets since I was 9 as I love the bonds humans share with animals. Moving to the Atlanta area in 2018 I started pet sitting after my partner at the time lost her dog and it was a good way to reintroduce some love that only pets can provide. Fast forward to 2024 and I have a couple of pet monopolies in a few gated communities strictly from word of mouth that started with a single Rover booking. And while my 20+ clients rely on me to give their pets the care they deserve, I am now looking to take this full time and increase my client base through the end of 2024. Aside from treating your pet as my own, I like to pinpoint any trouble behavioral issues and help guide pets and their owners to smooth out those rough spots on our otherwise perfect pets. (Doorbell triggers anyone?) I deal with pets of various ailments such as those who can. have seizures. I also work with a disabled pet and with patience, help them feel just as confident as the others. And if your pet is anything like mine and terrified of thunderstorms or fireworks, I have that earned sensitivity to sit with them in a quiet place to keep them from a full panic attack. A booking with me means you will not have to worry about your favorite member of the family while away. I am back on Rover as of October 2024 to focus on pet care full time through at least the end of the calendar year. At your residence I try to keep your pets on their normal schedule when it comes to diet, exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime. My "rental dogs" tend to get more walks with me than they do with their owners as I view it as my own gym time that the dogs also love. During overnight stays I am very respectful of client's homes and have been known to vacuum and do the guest room laundry prior to their return from vacation. I have a Toy Australian Sheppard named Vheissu (pronounced V-Sue) who lives with me half of the time, so if your dog comes over for daycare they may have a playmate.

About: I have experience with dogs 8 weeks - 14 years. I have extensive knowledge of senior dogs. I am less experienced in cat care, but I have had cats in the past, and have also house sat for friends who have 3. I am currently a college student, so I will be unavailable on Mondays. I also have a part time job from 8:30 am - 5 pm. I am available on weekends for dog sitting or after 5:30 pm weekdays. I would love to find out what type of exercise your pet needs. I enjoy walking and I am very good with a chuck it.

From the moment she met him, it was clear she genuinely loves animals. Her warmth and patience made Hunter feel completely at ease, and I could tell he was in great hands. One of the biggest bonuses? Katherine is a vet tech! Knowing she has that professional background gave me so much peace of mind. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly knew how to handle any situation with confidence and care. I came home to happy, relaxed pups and couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, Katherine is the one.”
