About: As someone who’s grown up with dogs and works in the pet industry, I know how to keep your pup happy, active, and comfortable—whether it’s for a walk, a weekend, or just some love I work for a pet company, so dogs are part of my daily routine. I also have a dog of my own, so caring for pets is just second nature to me Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I have a fenced-in yard for secure play, and my own friendly dog for company. If needed, I can separate them to ensure everyone feels comfortable.

“Olivia had great communication and offered to help with short notice. It was so nice knowing we could leave for a long period of time and Baxter was taken care of! She took him for a walk and made sure he had fresh water after. Love all the pictures! I will definitely reach out to her again!”


About: I've had pets all my life! I've also been involved in animal rescue and pet sitting for many years. From simple potty breaks to giving medication, I have experience with just about anything. I have a soft spot for senior pets, but I'm not picky! I even pet sat a pig once! Trusting your pets care to a stranger can be worrisome, I know from experience. My goal is to provide the care I'd want for my own animals. ❤️ My schedule is super flexible. I can make most days and times work. Advance notice is preferred, but I can usually help if something comes up on short notice! My goal has always been to keep my client's pets' routines as normal as possible. As a pet sitter and a Rover client, I'm able to see both sides. Being in rescue exposed me to animals with many different needs and personalities, giving me invaluable experience. I treat your pet and home like it's my own.

About: I got my first dog when I was 7, I also would pet sit for people in my neighborhood. Even though I moved they still reach out to have me pet sit. I currently work part time with flexible hours. I am available weekends or weekdays and always willing to go out of my way to help. I have lots of experience with animals and plan on growing my knowledge regarding pets. Currently have a certificate in animal massage which covered animal behavior, and animal first aid.

About: I worked at a boarding facility and daycare, spending my day taking care of dogs and cats of all ages! I took out groups of dogs (between 8-15) and monitored their play, stepping in when needed! I am a student at Augustana University and so my schedule is very flexible, especially during the summer months! I have two more classes to finish my degree so once the school year starts I will still be available most hours of the day! I treat each pet as if they are my own. I am very focused and observant when taking care of others pets as I know how much they mean to us!

About: I do work a full-time job, but it’s remote, so I’m able to be flexible during the day as long as my workload is managed properly—which I’m very responsible about. Working from home makes pet care easy for me to fit in, since I can handle walks, feeding, and playtime during breaks while still giving the pets constant supervision without disrupting my work. I live in a one-bedroom apartment where I can host pets, and I’m also able to provide walks and potty breaks. I’m flexible and always open to clear communication with owners.

They're my babies. :) I am usually available anytime of day besides 2:30-3:30, we can work out a time that works for all of us. I try my best to work my schedule around to best fit your pets needs!

April N.Star Sitter
“If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with love, respect, kindness, attention, and care, please consider April. She is also an RN who has a gentle, kind, loving nature and has passed it on to her two children and significant other, who also treat animals with love. Currently, they have a well-loved bunny, Cheesecake. At age 7, April got her first pet, Ariel, a cat who lived a happy, healthy life until she was 17 years old. When April was 11, she owned her own horse, Spur, that she trained and cared for. She spent one summer raising chicks ( chickens, turkeys, geese, and a duck) and would often read her books while sitting out with them in the field. She helped raise and train four beautiful family dogs, Molly, Maggie, Merlin, and Orby, helping to establish calm, relaxed energy. In her young adulthood, she has raised trained her own wonderful dogs, Jack, Hugo, and Kermit, to have relaxed positive energy by demonstrating those qualities in own leadership. She also fostered dogs and treated them with utmost kindness and attention until they found homes. You can have confidence that your animals would be safe, secure, and loved in April’s care.”
