About: Hi, I’m Katja, or just Kat is fine too! I am a lifelong animal lover and pet parent of both cats and dogs :) I have years of pet-sitting experience, and I’m currently a full-time grad student with lots of flexibility in my schedule. I absolutely adore animals. If you decide that I am a good fit to take care of your pet, I will care for them with the same love, attention, and respect that I do my own. Because I’m a student, I have lots of availability during all days of the week and all hours, from early mornings to late nights. I can easily plan around you and your pet’s needs. I can also almost always accept same-day bookings. However, when possible I would love to do a meet and greet in your home beforehand. There is no cost and no pressure to make any booking decision until you are 100% confident that this is a good fit. For those who are interested in house-sitting service: because I am able to do my coursework remotely, I can provide your pet with around-the-clock care and stick to the exact schedule they are used to. I only house-sit once per month so reach out in advance when possible! I’m currently open for dates in August and September. To me, caring for an animal includes making sure they feel as comfortable and safe as possible. I always take the time to build trust by being patient and gentle, and letting them warm up to me at their own pace. During a visit, I will always go above and beyond the basics. I fill up the entire time booked with lots of playtime and attention. I’m also happy to take care of litter-boxes, dishes, or any unexpected clean-ups. While you are away I will keep you updated with as many messages, photos, and videos as you would like. You will be able to reach me pretty much 24/7 if needed, and I will do everything in my power to accommodate any unexpected delays, last-minute changes, or emergencies.
“Sam took great care of my cat and provided a lot of pictures, highly recommend!”
“Alex has been staying in our home with our two pups for a few years now. I can’t say enough about how awesome she is to have in our home caring for our loves. She treats them like her own, and she goes above and beyond washing sheets and towels and cleaning so we return from our trips with little to do but unpack and relax. It’s the highest compliment to say we don’t worry a bit about our fur babies when Alex is staying with them!”
“Camille provided regular updates throughout her stay. In particular, she reiterated what she had done in terms of feeding, medication, and potty breaks so I felt very confident my instructions were being followed. I also appreciated her frequent photos along with her updates. She was respectful of our home and belongings; nothing is out of place and she even tidied up before she left. I hate leaving my baby, but Camille’s updates kept me from worrying.”
“Stephanie was so wonderful to have at our house and with my little buddies. Her communication was excellent and I always new my dogs were in excellent hands!!!”
“Teresa was wonderful! She kept us up to date on Yoda and left the house so beautiful. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would love to have her again!”
About: I was the trusted neighborhood pet sitter growing up! Years of experience watching both cats and dogs since middle school. I also grew up with a cat at home! I currently work remotely from home so am flexible to check in and care for your pets! I am also consistently free on weekends, and weeknights after 4:30pm. As a pet sitter, I will treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m a very organized, clean, and respectful person whom you can trust. Happy to accommodate to your schedule and needs.
“Ray was awesome with my dogs. He let me know how they were doing each day, and responded to me quickly when I reached out by text. He took my booking only a couple days before and I really appreciated it! I will definitely try to get Ray for my next booking. Thanks for taking good care of Finn and Frankie!!!”
About: Hi! My name is Ella and I am 18 years old. While I am new to Rover, I am not new to pet care! I have had both cats and dogs in my home since I was born and have loved being around animals from avery young age. I feel very comfortable caring for and being around both cats and dogs. I currently am a cat foster parent for The Bond Between, a cat and dog rescue organization and have adopted two cats and a dog from them. Aside from fostering I also volunteer there as an animal caretaker where I get hands on experience with both cats and dogs. I have a pretty open summer with plenty of time to take dogs for potty breaks and stop in for some cat playtime! I am available daily and happy to spend time with your kitty or pup starting at 7:30am and ending at 8pm! The safety and comfort of both you and your pet are my top priority. As a caregiver, my responsibility is to provide a trusting and comfortable environment for your furry friend. I am attentive and organized which will help me successfully provide top notch care. I am confident in my abilities to feed, walk, play and clean up after cats and dogs.
About: Hi, my name is Mikayla. I graduated Eden Prairie High school in 2016. I attended argosy university to become a vet tech and then switched my major to become a veterinary assistant and received my certificate in 2018. I have worked for the PetSmart PetsHotel for 4 years. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats. I know how to bathe dogs and trim dogs and cat nails if requested. I had a miniature poodle for 13 years named Patch. I have dog sat for family and friends multiple times and they all have recommended me to their other friends with fury members of their family. I love spending time with dogs and learning their personalities while I am taking care of them. I would love to take care of your dog or cat. 😊 I currently work at the Eden Prairie PetsHotel cat and dog boarding facility full time. I bring the dogs with me while I’m at work if they’re up on vaccinations. I also come home during lunch breaks if near by to let the dogs out. I make sure the pet is continuously watched and well cared for while I’m taking care of them. I make sure they’re fed and walked or played with in their yard

19. Ella M.
“I've had the pleasure of seeing Ella care for animals many times, and I can confidently say she is one of the most responsible, compassionate and respectful pet sitters I have come across. She has a natural way with animals whether it's a high energy pup or a shy cat, she approaches each with patience and genuine love. Pets repspond so well to her calm and attentive presence and their well being is clearly her top priority. Anyone would be lucky to have her looking after their furry family members!”
20. Mikayla H.
“Mikayla has watched my dog many times and is always my go to dog sitter. She spoils him with love and attention, plays with him till he is tired out. I am someone who likes updates while away and she always graciously keeps me posted on how he is doing while watching him. She is a dog sitter who I can tell loves animals and you can tell by how she cares for the dog she taking care of. I am nervous leaving my dog as he is like my child but am always comfortable to leave him with Mikayla.”
