About: Animals have always been a very special part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, so caring for animals has been natural to me since childhood. I absolutely love animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m also a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pet. I know that every dog has their own personality, habits, and routine, and I always try to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, playtime, basic care, and following your pet’s usual routine and your instructions. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and happy to send photos and updates during walks or visits so you can feel completely at ease while your pet is with me. I will care for your pet with the same kindness and attention I would want someone to give my own. 🐾❤️ have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s usual routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs.

“Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept. She responds quickly to texts as well. If you need a cat sitter, I would recommend her to any client!”

In addition to this, Luna is always very worn out and tired after a day with Cheyenne. We will definitely be using Cheyenne's services in the future.”

Mariela was amazing! Total life saver, we needed a last minute booking for a holiday weekend, and we were able to setup a meet n greet and home visit in less than 1 week. She was a total natural, pit bull instantly took to her. Very responsive to messages and sent pictures everyday!!
Meghan was very friendly and professional. They are knowledgeable and experienced and my dog felt comfortable with them right away. It was a comfort knowing they could administer oral meds confidently. I would definitely recommend Meghan’s services and book again.
Kristina was wonderful at taking care of Saga. She was kind, caring and loving. She was great at following directions related to her medication and food. Also, she was prompted answering all my questions. I appreciate your help and support when I was away from home. Thank you.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Itasca choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
