I used to be a dog bather, so I know how to work well with dogs, ive also helped raise a few puppies. Ive had cats my whole entire life so I'm super good with cats! Also just so you know, I am Transgender and Use he/him pronouns, my preferred name is Calcifer. With me owing so many pets I'm constantly taking care of my animals. But I currently only work a few days a week so I have a lot of free time currently! It will definitely depend on the clints home and behavior of their pets, but i try to always make sure the animals have all the care they need like , food, water, potty, outside, clean cages. I will make sure ur pets has the attention and care they need always!
“She kept us updated on how the dogs were doing and sent pictures throughout the weekend. She went above and beyond at mealtime as my dogs have a special diet. She has a calm presence and my dogs seemed to warm up to her quickly. We’ll definitely call her again for our pet sitting needs. Thank you!”
“Samantha took great care of the dogs. She was on time, had good communication, sent photos, and followed instructions. Would definitely book her again.”
“Jessica was great, my dog had the best day with her! My dog doesn't realize he's as big as he is, but she didn't mind him in invading her space and treated him like the spoiled four-legged baby that he is! She was so good to him and I greatly appreciate it!”
About: I grew up with dogs and as an adult, I have had 3 cats. Sadly they have passed away from old age. In the future, I plan on having another pet, but in the meantime, I can love and care for other people's animals! Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their pets. I do work full-time Monday through Friday, but my schedule would be available on weekends and some weekdays after 5:30 PM. Holidays can be an option also. My main values are providing safety, trust and love to your pets with respect to the pet owners. When I am with your pet you will be worry free!
About: I’ve taken care of my friends, family, and neighbors pets for much of my life and absolutely adore it. I am a reliable sitter with two cats of my own at my parents and plan on getting my own dog within the next few years. I am currently working part-time at a coffee shop with limited hours so am free to pet sit at most hours of the day all week! I will follow whatever instructions the home owner feels is necessary for their animal. Each home is different and each dog is as well so I am adaptable, but will make sure each one is well loved and safe!
“Carla was absolutely amazing! When we got home, our pup was sad to watch her new friend leaving :( Carla updated us the whole trip, took Stella on walks throughout the day, and made sure she was fed at the right time. I felt so confident away knowing Stella was in great hands! 10000% recommend”
“Sharron is AMAZING. She was great to work with; she gave regular updates, spent quality time with my dog, and was a great communicator! I will definitely rebook her services in the future.”
“Kelsey was simply AMAZING! Not only was she awesome with our dogs--she had great communication with me and made us feel super comfortable while we were traveling.”
About: I’ve taken care of my parents dogs since I was a child along with teenager- adult watching and walking friends and families dogs, dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs. Watched dogs with diet restrictions, families who have more active dogs and those who don’t mind them just hanging out enjoying time. I’ve taken time to do small training with dogs, done weeks of staying at homes dog sitting down to daily check ins and walks while parents gone. I’m currently looking looking for different job so I’m free whenever and what better way to spend my time than watching pups and letting them have fun and have company! I can’t take your pups to me for now due to roommates and their dogs sometimes not getting alone with others in their home. But more than willing to come to you even if it’s for day/ night watches or simple check ins / walks throughout the day or night!
“I would highly recommend Olivia. She did a great job with our fur babies, even extending her stay when we had unexpected vehicle issues and couldn’t get home. She was respectful of our home and very responsive. I would definitely use her again for our next trip.”
“I would highly recommend!! Our dogs, as well as our home was taken care of perfectly. I know we will have no worries leaving our pups with them in the future!!”
“My dog was immediately comfortable with Lance. He was kind, caring,and conscientious. Our dog was sick with a stomach problem and Lance worked with him, giving him medication and getting him to eat food.”
About: I am Derek. I have cared for everything from litters of kittens to horses. My passion is animals and I have three cats, one dog and various foster pets of my own. I understand that our pets ARE our kids! Whether it is walking your dog, or watching your cat for the week; I will care for your critters as if they are my own. Let me know how I can best care for your fur ball, when they eat, and any special needs. I will provide the rest! Current residents of our home include one very friendly and plump male short hair cat, his shy little sister, an energetic 3.5 year old australian shepherd / collie mix, a 2 year old Lab / German Shepherd mix and I. Thank you, Derek I am currently working full time with a flexible schedule. I am generally available in the morning hours (5 a.m. - 9 a.m.) and in the evenings (4:00 p.m. - midnight). I live in Hastings, MN with my partner, kid and animals! All time outdoors is either on a leash or tether in the backyard which is largely fenced in. In addition, we have a camera system and dogs are supervised at all times. Our dog and cats are extremely friendly and submissive.
“Samantha was terrific with my quirky dog. She learned his vibes and personality quickly and worked well with him. She kept me informed, cleaned up after herself, and I would absolutely hire her again.”
About: I have loved having pets ever since I was a child. When I heard of Rover, I was so excited to be able to make a little extra money while getting to know some great pets! I look forward to meeting you! We are a family of 4, my husband works full-time. We have 2 kids living with us, 17 and 21. My schedule is a little flexible. We will treat any pet in our home as our own. We have a large fenced back yard for them to play. My husband and I like going for walks. There is also down time for belly scratches.
“Breanca was phenomenal! My sweet lil (almost) 2 year old doggy IMMEDIATELY liked her (and she is definitely not a fan of just anyone) during Meet n Greet, which gave my partner and I a thumb's up to keep on track using Rover to find someone to watch our dog (and house) for 2 weeks while we traveled internationally. It's a little scary trusting a stranger with your dearest belongings and fur-babies, but we still wanted to go that route vs boarding bc we didn't know how Winnie would do in a strange place (let alone with other dogs/animals). Breanca has a lot of 5-star reviews (for good reason, we can see now) and that offered a lot of peace of mind while overseas. Any last minute flakiness would have been extremely inconvenient and expensive, so I was crossing my fingers the whole time that Breanca wouldn't drop the ball. And she never did! She took INCREDIBLE care of Winnie...exercising her, giving her many snuggles, lots of playtime, all the basic needs met. Winnie (our dog) even whined, looking out the window, this morning; I'm guessing bc she misses Breanca! One thing I super appreciated (and needed, when I missed my doggy!) that she quite regularly texted photos/videos of Winter and her so I could see she's doing just fine...better than fine! She was happy and playing and I could tell she was getting the utmost care. There's a reason Breanca is, like, #1 in the Minneapolis/St Paul metro area! (Or that's how she shows up on my search) Walking into the house, returning from our vacation, we were STUNNED! Breanca left the place spotless! Everything was cleaned, she'd washed the washable rugs, floors were vacuumed and mopped, bathroom and kitchen were WAY better than how it was before she stayed here. Obviously we're going to be generous in tipping. (Side note on the money talk, Breanca, you can definitely raise your rates! at least 50% more but probably closer to 100% more....) Anyone lucky enough to see Breanca with open availability when you're needing pet care, I would HIGHLY recommend you reach out and start a dialogue with her and get that ball rolling. I was not one bit disappointed and I know we will be asking her in the future if she wants to watch Winter (aka Winnie) again! I know Winter will be SO HAPPY to play with her new friend again!! :) Thank you so much, Breanca! You have been our saving grace and I'm glad we found you!! Thank you so much for taking such SUPERB care of our precious fur-child. :)”
“Dylan was fantastic! He treated my dog, Olive, like he would his own. Dylan took her on multiple walks daily, and she received plenty of attention/play time. I was provided daily updates including pictures. Olive was in great hands while I was away, and Dylan was also very respectful of the house. Plants watered and house clean. I will definitely use Dylan again for any Rover services! Highly recommend!”
“Shylina was wonderful! She came for a meet and greet and Suri took to her right away. She let me know when she got there and sent pictures of my baby! I knew she was in good hands!”
“Melissa was AMAZING!!! I appreciate the thorough care our dog received and the updates we also got. Our dog has a new best friend and we look forward to using Melissa in the future. Thank you, again!”
