About: I have had a dog (yellow lab) since I was in sixth grade, and I have taken care of coworker’s pets on occasion. I now have a rescue pitbull I love dearly. I can walk and play and sit with your pet to make sure they feel loved and have fun. I am currently out of school for the summer and I have a very flexible schedule, and I would love to come hang out with your pets! I like to hang out with animals and make them feel comfortable; I have a nice large fenced in backyard, and I have a car that I can take your pet in, if they like going in the car. I am used to giving a dog two walks a day, in the morning and evening.

“Lilah was respectful of my home & took great care of Greta. Would hire again! Thanks Lilah!”

“Molly is wonderful. She loves animals and is truly engaged during the visit. She won over my shy cat and provided piece of mind when I was away.”

About: Hi! I’m Gabriela, a bilingual (English/Spanish) pet lover who believes every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. As a mental health professional, I’m naturally calm, reliable, and attentive to routines and behavior. I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for my own cat, Muffin, including giving oral medication, brushing his coat, cleaning his ears, using waterless grooming products, maintaining a clean litter box, and recognizing changes in his health or behavior. I’m also comfortable following feeding routines and providing photo updates during and/or after every visit. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which allows me to offer reliable drop-in visits during the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their regular routine, and I’ll always do my best to provide dependable, consistent care. I’ll communicate clearly and send photo updates during and/or after every visit so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I respect every home as if it were my own and carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions. I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, a clean space, exercise or playtime if requested, and plenty of love and attention. I’m detail-oriented, dependable, and committed to keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and on their usual routine during every visit.

About: With a lifetime of caring for dogs of all shapes and personalities, I know how important trust is. I show up on time, follow routines closely, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m an early riser, so morning walks before my workday are one of my favorite ways to start the day. I also keep my weekends flexible and am available for morning and afternoon walks. This consistency helps me provide dependable, stress-free care for both you and your pup. When caring for pets, I follow your routines closely and keep things calm and consistent. I double check doors, gates, and leashes, and I pay close attention to each dogs body language with experience from Chihuahuas to great Danes, I know how to keep every pup, safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Catherine was awesome and my puppy was able to play and get tired out for a much needed puppy nap 💤”

About: I’ve never known life without animals. Growing up in what our neighbors called the “Dr. Doolittle house” meant there was always a furry friend (or a few!) to care for. It taught me that every pet deserves patience, love, and individualized care. Whether your pet wants to play, explore, or simply snuggle on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home until you return 😊 Pet care is already part of my everyday routine! I work from home most days, and when I do go into the office, it’s typically only for a few hours. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to consistent schedule of walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll make sure your furry friend gets the same reliable care and sticks to their normal routine while you’re away. Every pet is different so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. Whether I’m stopping by for a potty break, taking them on a walk, or staying overnight, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while sticking as closely as possible to their normal schedule. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you the peace of mind that they’re in good hands!

“Natalie is so kind, very trustworthy and open to anything you need help with while you’re gone. She asked if it was Ok to bring along her daughter which was great, our kitty really seemed to love her! She played with her on the floor and gave her lots of attention. It is not uncommon for our kitty to hide when new visitors come over but this wasn’t the case this time! It was so reassuring getting photos of our pets while we were gone too. Our 3 guinea pigs were well taken care of as well. I highly recommend Natalie and we hope to use her again, Thank you!”

Lisa D.

“Olivia is amazing! She is great to work with! She communicates clearly, is very reliable, and always lets us know how our pet is doing during the visit. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’m a student at the University of St. Thomas and a lifelong dog lover who would love to spend my free time caring for and walking dogs! Having owned a dog myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to treat your pet like family. I’m responsible, dependable, active, and will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love while they’re in my care. I’d love the opportunity to become one of your dog’s favorite walking buddies! I am currently a full time student and working part time. However, I have gaps in my schedule I would love to spend caring for dogs! I have a yard for your dog roam around while being watched. I think it is important to always important to keep an eye on each pup both at my home and client’s houses.

About: My mother raised me to help any stray or injured animals in our neighborhood. I have been doing so since I was old enough to walk and talk. I have continued this tradition on into adulthood. I have four fur babies of my own at home. I have previous experience caring for a variety of animals including: cats, dogs, mice, rats, reptiles, and fish. I also am confident in my ability to learn on the job and customize care for you and your pet, no matter the species! I have previous experience as a foster and served as a caretaker for a feral cat colony. One of my specialties is socializing feral/stray cats. I also have previous experience with dog walking. I pride myself on meeting animals and their humans where they are. I am patient, soft-spoken, and approach each animal with the care and compassion they need and deserve. I have experience with giving oral/topical medications and am comfortable with learning to apply medication via injection if needed. I understand firsthand just how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your animals. I am more than happy to (and strongly suggest) that I meet with you prior to scheduled care to discuss your needs and to provide peace of mind that your animals are in the best possible care with me as their sitter. I work remotely from home and can be somewhat flexible on my availability. I can always be available any time after 3pm on weekdays and any time of day on weekend. You know your pet best. I will care for your pet as if it were my own and follow and/all instructions that you leave for me. I know time away from your pets can be stressful for both you and them, and I want to help make those worries go away by helping your pet maintain as much of their regular routine as possible.

“Serena took care of our cat Chloe for 12 days. She stopped by for drop ins and some pets every day! Serena has been such a great cat sitter and dog walker and I’d recommend her to anyone! Thank you!!”

About: I've taken care of pets of all sorts. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and give genuine love and attention to their pets. Caring for dogs is an utter joy for me. My schedule is very flexible. I can most times take requests in as little as a day's notice. I prefer weekdays and mornings for short term services. I live in a very comfortable and cozy space; perfect for small and medium sized dogs. Dogs are allowed on my furniture but I will be sensitive to client's homes and their rules for their pets.

“This was my first time using Rover for cat care and it was a breeze with Alisha! She was so professional and communicative, and it was wonderful to know that my cat was getting some love and attention while I was away. I would definitely book with her again! Thanks Alisha!”

About: I've regularly cared for numerous pets, from young puppies that need some positive encouragement on walks to special needs and senior dogs that need to take thier time.
