“Kendra came to us on only a few day notice! She was amazing with our pups, sent us pictures and updates often and left our place cleaner than we left it along with treats for the ladies. Wish we would have found her sooner!”


“Vanessa took great care of our fur babies. She kept in contact with us and updated with daily pictures. She was also very responsive to the questions we had. Will definitely try to book with her again.”


“Kimmie was wonderful!!! A big storm came through on one of the nights Kimmie was watching our dogs and when the storm sirens went off in the middle of the night Kimmie made sure the dogs were safe in our (unfinished) basement. She went above and beyond to stay with them to keep them calm, so that was a big plus! She did a great job communicating with us when we were away and our dogs seemed to thrive with her. That’s even more notable considering our younger dog lost his sight a few weeks prior to the dates we used her, and she navigated that unexpected concern beautifully!”


“Kelsi has been so good with our two dogs! She spends time outside with them and she treats them like her own. She sends pics of them, which is always nice to see! Thank you, Kelsi, for another great stay!”


“This is my first time using Rover and I found the absolute best person for my two senior dogs, Archie and Mica! Courtney took amazing care of them while I was in Europe for almost two weeks. We met twice before her in-house stay and she asked all the right questions. She shared sweet photos of them while I was away and cuddled with them during a big storm. I found them happy and healthy when I returned. Courtney also took great care of my home too. She is professional, attentive, responsible, and extremely trustworthy. I highly recommend Courtney and will definitely book with her again when I travel.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience in caring for them at all stages. In high school, I trained my own dog in essential skills such as house training, basic commands, and reducing excessive barking. I enjoy staying active and love taking dogs on walks, ensuring they get both exercise and attention. While away at college, I miss the daily companionship of dogs and look forward to providing reliable, caring support for pets and their families. My background in training, lifelong experience, and genuine love for animals allow me to offer dependable and compassionate care. As a senior nursing student at NDSU in my final semester, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I typically finish classes around 1 p.m., leaving afternoons and evenings open for walks, playtime, or drop-in visits. My clinical rotations occur a few times a week and are scheduled well in advance, so I can easily communicate any days I’m unavailable. Weekends are usually open, and if I do have commitments, they’re known well in advance, making it easy to plan around pet care needs. I provide attentive and loving care for pets in their own home, following each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I ensure their environment stays safe, clean, and comfortable, while giving plenty of attention and monitoring for any signs of concerns. My goal is to help pets feel happy, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.


About: I am an experienced pet care taker. I had a dog of my own for 7 years before she passed away of a heart condition. Before that my family had dogs and cats growing up. I also consistently foster animals through one of the organizations in town. I work from home and can be pretty flexible about my schedule. When I have a dog I'm usually taking them out over 2-4 hours based on age and need. While away depending on the dogs need I I have dog gates in my home, so they will be restricted to where they are in the house when i'm around and when i'm not around. My place is clean and is a decent size - it is an apartment.


“My name is Brenda and I hired Joanne to stay in my home and care for my pets (4), 3 dogs and my kitty while out of town for work for a couple days. I have found that Joanne to be a very nice, responsible, caring person who shows that she truly enjoys caring for your pets. I am so happy to have found her here on Rover. Joanne had sent me many pictures of my pets which made me so happy to see how happy they were while I out of town, she did such an awesome job. You can tell she truly loves taking care of your pets.. and they loved her back, When I came home, my home was very clean, and my pets were so content. I've never came home to my pets to be so content, as they did not lack attention at all. Joanne went above and beyond for my fur babies and myself to make me comfortable leaving them with her in my home. I would HIGHLY recommend her for your pet sitting needs. she is the best! I will be hiring her again in the future. Thank you so much Joanne for doing an amazing job!!”


“Brooke did a wonderful job caring for our home and pets while we were away. The house was clean when we returned, and most importantly, our dogs were happy, safe, and clearly well cared for. She followed all our directions and I really felt they were in good hands with her. We’d definitely trust her with our home and pets again.”


About: With a lifelong love of animals and several years of dog sitting experience, I provide reliable, loving care tailored to your pup's unique personality. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers calm cuddles and quiet walks, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I offer: Daily walks and exercise Feeding and medication (if needed) Playtime and enrichment Regular photo/video updates Overnight stays or drop-in visits I treat every dog like my own and take pride in earning the trust of both pets and their people. I’m also comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to get to know you and your furry friend! 🐶 I have the summers off and will be starting work again the begging of August. I’m home majority of the time! I update my schedule once a week I live in an apartment I don’t have a fence in yard but there is a big area where your dogs can play at. I enjoy being outside!

About: Hello! My name is Morgan, and I'm a dedicated and experienced pet sitter specializing in the care of small to medium sized dogs. Having grown up caring for two of my own Miniature Schnauzers from puppy-hood to their senior years, I have a deep personal understanding of their unique needs, energy levels, and personalities. This hands-on experience extends to a wide range of small breeds, and I'm passionate about providing attentive, knowledgeable care for every furry friend I meet. I currently do not have a part or full time job and am searching. In the mean time, I'm available most weekdays and some weekends to care for your pets! When your pet is in my care, my top priority is their safety, happiness, and your peace of mind. I know how important it is to stay connected, which is why you can expect prompt communication from me. For every drop in visit or walk, I'll send a Rover card update complete with a GPS map of our walk, potty break information, and of course great photos of your pet. For house sitting stays, I provide detailed morning and evening updates so you can relax on your trip knowing your companion is thriving. I'm diligent about following all feeding schedules, medication needs, and any specific household rules you have.

“Highly recommend! I rebooked Wyneta after she helped cat-sit over Christmas, and I am so grateful I found someone I can trust. This time she took care of my dog in addition to my cats, and I’ve never left my senior dog with anyone but my parents before. It meant the world to know my babies were getting great care from someone I can trust.”


About: I have had dogs my whole life, and worked professionally with pets at a doggy daycare for just under a year! I've helped raise all of my family's dogs (lab crosses and doodles) including crate training. I love dogs of all ages and am comfortable working with all sizes. I'm an RA and taking a full course load, class is done at 3, I'm available late Wednesday nights (after around 8:30) and after 4 Mondays and Fridays. Tuesdays after around 2 are a possibility, but I am busy with RA Duties Thursday nights and can't leave campus. all but one weekend this semester are available I will maintain as much of your normal routine in your house as I can. I totally understand and anticipate pets being at least a little wary of new people and will gladly set up time to meet and get comfortable as needed. I will bring my own food if I am staying in your house and keep it tidy. I will make work any walk/ play/ training routines, expectations, and goals you have to the best of my ability. Do know, however, I will spend a fairly large portion of my day on campus either attending class or working on Residence Life obligations. I will still be reachable and flexible to an extent and exact timing can be discussed on a case by case basis, but I won't be in your house 24/7 and if your dog isn't used to spending any time alone or in a crate, I may not be the best fit for you. I also have breaks throughout most of my days that will allow for quick potty/ play breaks but that would look more like 30-40 minutes here and there, more extensive time will be in the evenings/nights.

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs in the house since I was young. I currently have two cats, a dog, and a bearded dragon! I have experience raising animals of all kinds and all ages. From scooping litter, to teaching tricks, I have always loved animals and hope to be there for your pets every need! I am happily available at any time to help with your pet care needs! If any scheduling conflicts should occur, I will readily prioritize your animals care. I create a loving energy and environment for my animals. They are fed regular, and healthy diets to keep them smiling! I stay on top of grooming and cleaning to keep the home warm and comfortable. In the event that my animals are experiencing any sickness, like ear infection or upset tummy, I have no issue nurturing them to health through veterinarian approved medicines and treatments. My animals receive the most quality love and care through playtime, cuddles, healthy lifestyle, and much much more!

“Alexis was great! The dogs were walked, fed and loved while we were gone. She kept in contact with us with texts and pictures and the house was cleaned when she left. Would definitely book with her again.”
