About: I'm a very active person and love hiking and running with my Vizsla. My dog is 10 years old and loves bones, balls and swimming. She loves running in the woods and smelling all that nature has to offer. My cat is very much like a dog and gets along with dogs who are respectful and not overzealous. She will "hold her ground and hiss if strange dogs come running at her. I live on a dead-end road and am 1 of 5 households on the street. I'm located near the bike path in Harvey and my dog gets exercised daily. I'm happy to accommodate any exercise needs that your pet may have. If you have a high-energy dog, I can even bike to run them. I've had high-energy/prey dogs (Weimeraner and 3 Vizslas) for over 25 years and am very versed with dogs that need a high amount of exercise. If your pet prefers to just cuddle up I would enjoy that too. I'm currently working full-time with the flexibility to make trips home for potty breaks. While I'm gone from home, I would require your dog(s) to be in a kennel which I can provide (for the safety of my cat who has full run of the house). Dog must be good with cats (no bookings with dogs that aren't verified cat friendly). Potty time would be leashed as well as any exercise that would be needed. Please understand that your pet may have wonderful recall for you, however, they may not for me. For their safety, they will be leashed during walks and runs. My home is a ranch style with only one step to get into the home and many orthopedic beds throughout the house, if you have an elderly dog they will be quite comfortable :) I require that you have established veterinary care in the area and provide emergency contact information. Please don't hesitate to call me with any questions.

“Anastasia was great! She agreed to watch the cats on short notice, and came over to meet them before the booking started. We felt like the cats were in great hands with Anastasia watching them, and she provided updates and photos every day! 10/10, we'd definitely (and probably will) book Anastasia again!”

“Janelle was an amazing sitter for my kitties! She was extremely communicative and wanted to make sure she was doing everything as best as she could. She gave my babies love and always made sure their space was clean! I will definitely be using her services in the future!!!”

“Alyce is easily the best cat sitter we’ve had. She’s highly responsive and very responsible. Our sweet cat Indy loves her. If you need a cat sitter, you won’t go wrong with Alyce.”

About: Hi! My name is Katelyn and I love working with all kinds of animals! I volunteer at the Animal Humane Society in Coon Rapids as a Animal Care Assistent where I walk, engage, entertain, and comfort dogs of all kinds and sizes twice a week. I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies and chickens my entire life. I just enjoy being able to give animals the entertainment, exercise and love that they deserve. I am currently a student-athlete at Northern Michigan University but am home for the summer in Elk River. I am available almost any day of the week and at almost any time to take care of your pet! My dog at home, Millie, is a very nervous dog overall so I am very patient and calm with her to make sure she is comfortable. I know when she wants to be left alone or when she wants to play or be pet. My cat is very independent but likes to be around people if he is not sleeping. He doesn’t love to be picked up or pet a lot so I just enjoy when he is present in the room.

“Kendra is a wonderful petsitter. She was quick to initially respond to my request and she scheduled a meet and greet quickly to see if our job was a good fit. First impressions was that Kendra was kind and professional. She was reported her daily check-in and was patient with my kitty who was timid and hid from her until the last day. I'm thrilled to have found Kendra and will be reaching out for future trips.”

About: I worked at an animal shelter where I helped care for dogs, cats, and small animals. I gained experience with lots of different categories like feeding, cleaning, playtime, and making sure animals felt comfortable and cared for. I also have experience with reactive dogs/cats and making sure to create an environment where they thrive and do not feel the need to be reactive. I also worked with many different types of cats, especially the shy ones who just needed more support. I have also given vaccines and medicine to animals, as well as taken a senior diabetic cats blood sugar. I understand every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow any routines and give them all the patience and attention they need and deserve! I also have experience with family animals! Growing up, we had all sizes of dogs, from a German Shepherd to an Italian Greyhound! So I have experience with all different animal personalities like door dashers, small velcro pups, and the older ones too:) I currently have a small dog, a bearded dragon, and a hamster! I truly love animals and want pet parents to feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe, happy, and getting lots and lots of love while they’re away! I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening pet care as needed! I live in a rented apartment, so sadly I’m not able to board pets in my home. I do offer care in clients’ homes, which I believe is often best for pets since they can stay in their own familiar space:) I always make sure to follow instructions closely, keep the environment clean, and prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort.

“Emma was great! She kept every appointment, spent time with the cats, and was very communicative. We really appreciated the photos of/short blurbs about the cats that she regularly sent. The cats were in good spirits and well fed when my mom returned from vacation, so they were clearly well looked after! 10/10, would book Emma again.”

About: You can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing your dog is receiving dedicated, one-on-one care in my home. Since I don’t currently have any pets of my own, your dog will be my sole focus, ensuring they feel safe, welcome, and active. I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard that provides plenty of room for supervised play and exercise. Because I work remotely, your pet will have constant companionship and the freedom to enjoy the yard throughout the day. Having previously owned a Golden Retriever and two mixed-breed rescues, I am experienced in caring for different personalities and activity levels. Because I work from home and live alone, your dog becomes my primary companion and the heartbeat of my home. My daily routine is perfectly suited for a pet who thrives on consistency and attention. We start each morning with breakfast and a potty break in the large fenced-in backyard before I settle in for work. While I am at my desk, your dog is welcome to nap in my office or relax at my feet, enjoying a calm and quiet environment. I make it a point to step away from my screen for several breaks throughout the day, which provides the perfect opportunity for us to head outside for fresh air and supervised playtime in the yard. Once I log off for the evening, we head out for a long walk to wind down and get some exercise. My weekends are dedicated to trail walking, and I love having a furry friend join me for these longer outdoor adventures. Since I don't have other pets or children, your dog will truly be the centerpiece of my day and will fit right into my active lifestyle. Since I work from home and live alone, I provide a quiet, low-stress environment where your dog is the sole focus of my attention. My day is built around companionship—your dog can lounge in my office while I work, and we take frequent breaks to play in my large, fully fenced-in backyard. I strictly follow your existing feeding and medication schedule to keep their routine as normal as possible. Because I am active, they will enjoy a long evening walk every day and the option for trail adventures on the weekends.

About: Tail-wags set me apart! I would love to hang out with your paw-some friend. I find being around dogs quite therapeutic! I have always grown up with dogs, and have great patients for them, even with some of their quirks. I am currently a full time student at Northern Michigan. My evenings and mornings are free, and my weekends are super flexible. I would love to occupy my extra time with your furry friend I will care for your pets in your home! I am responsible and respectful. When it comes to your pets and your space, I honor that.

“Dylan was an outstanding pet sitter for my dog Tilly. She was attentive to detail, and prioritizes the health, comfort, and happiness of your pet. She is excellent regarding communication as well with quick messaging and giving daily check ins. This was my first time using Rover, and I booked Dylan for drop in visits. I would absolutely book her again! - Tilly stamp of approval”

About: I fully believe in the power of pets as best friends and emotional support companions, and I want to help take care of your furry loved ones! In my role, I am all about communication first. I have around +2 years of pet-sitting/care experience with diverse dog breeds (chihuahua, pitbulls, schnauzer, mixed) and cats from family members and friends, as well as my own. I have experience doing drop-in visits (feeding, playing, grooming/cleaning, petting) and dog walking (around neighborhood or on pet-friendly nature trails). To further build my experience, I make sure that I have the client's detailed pet routine clearly documented before I accept a drop-in or pet walking visit. I will provide a full-time experience with your pets and make them feel cared for and loved. I will 100% use a baby voice for every sweet pup and kitten I play with! I am working part-time and I have a lot of time flexibility to fully care for your lovely pets. I am responsive while on the job and I try to be quick to accept/decline a new booking. While I can be flexible most of the times, I will let my clients know if there is a weekend or weekdays that I am unavailable. From start to finish, constant communication with my clients is always my top priorirty! I use patience, positive reinforcement, and plenty of attention to help pets feel comfortable and build trust. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions while keeping owners updated with messages and photos. While providing services at my clients' homes, I quickly learn the areas where the pets will be the most comfortable and avoid possible triggers. I am happy to adjust and, if requested by the client, to meet pets beforehand to build trust and make everyone comfortable during this experience!

“Alexa is wonderful! Honestly, she's one of the best pet sitter we've ever had. She came to our house to watch our 2 cats/ dear kitty friends, and she truly seemed to understand their needs and ours! She always did MORE than required, including regular communication, photos, and details that she'd only know if she was really spending time with them. We came home to a tidy house and 2 happy, well-fed cats. And when we got home from a long, stressful drive, we found the sweetest note about our kitties and a gift of homemade pumpkin bread! And, Alexa is smart, personable and energetic. We left feeling good about the woman we were entrusting with these small animals who trust us. I never worried about a thing, which for me, is an amazing gift. I missed our cats, but I never worried about them. For me, THAT is the very best recommendation I can give a caregiver. We will certainly hope she is available for every future trip we make.”

“This was my first time using Rover and having my cat stay at home rather than a kennel. Crouton was happy when I returned, fed, watered and his litter had been maintained! Everything that I needed!”
