“Jill did an exceptional job with our Ellie! She’s a great communicator & we can feel good about knowing our pup is in good hands. We love everything about having Jill taking care of Ellie either with home visits while we’re away or while Ellie stays at her home! It’s given us such a peace of mind. Thanks Jill & Rover!”

“Mikayla does a fantastic job caring for our diabetic cat and I don’t know what we would do without her! She’s extremely reliable and more than happy to help with anything that may come up in our absence. She keeps us in the know about how things are going and was so touched when our cat fully warmed up to her during this extended period. Highly recommend Mikayla for any pet care needs!”

“Julia did a fantastic job! She got some sweet pictures of our kittens and was very responsive with minor requests. We were thankful she was able to help. We would definitely book her again.”

About: Growing up my family had dogs in our home as long as I can remember. They have been a sweet addition to our family and a constant in my life. I regularly helped with feeding, grooming, cleaning, and have been a significant part of our dogs' play, providing an environment where each one can thrive. Friends regularly ask me to spend time with their animals (up to 3 weeks) while away both in my home and in their homes. I have also administered medications! I work full time Monday through Thursday, but am highly available Thursday late afternoon through Sunday evenings. I am also typically available Monday events as well! I live on a couple acres in the pine trees, centralized in town, where I have access to trails for walking as well as the bike trail. In my home, I am able to crate your dog or have an enclosed space where they can stretch and move around. I am the only one living in my space, so it is a quiet and restful environment.

About: My lifelong passion for animals began as a child with my family's cat and guinea pigs. When I was 10, I took on the responsibility of caring for my Shiba Inu, Mia. I dedicated myself to her training, teaching her numerous commands like "sit" and "stay," and I gained invaluable experience with a breed known for its temperament. I am experienced in administering oral medications and tick/lice preventatives. As a teenager, I adopted a cat and continued to build my experience by volunteering at a local humane society and caring for a neighbor's dog. Friends and family have also relied on me for house and cat sitting. I am pursuing my Master's degree in education, which gives me a very flexible and adaptable schedule. Pet care on Rover is one of my priorities, so I have plenty of availability for your pet. I am available for overnight sits, walks, and drop-in visits on weekdays and weekends, and I carefully manage my schedule to ensure I have quality time for every booking. I split my time between Alexandria and the Twin Cities, and my calendar is always kept up to date for my availability in each location. I provide pet care in your home and not in my own, as I do not offer boarding or day care services. This allows your pet to stay in their familiar, safe environment, which I believe is best for their comfort. I am very organized and reliable, and I will strictly follow all of your instructions regarding feeding, medicine, and routines. You can trust that I will treat your home with the utmost respect and provide constant communication, including photo updates, to ensure your peace of mind while you are away.

About: I have been very involved in a humane society. I’ve worked with cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, backgrounds, temperaments, and health issues! I currently have two cats but grew up with a dog and help watch my sister’s puppy many times. I’ve helped babysit many cats and dogs over the course of my life. I’m respect other's belongings, property, and (of course) pets. I have no issues going to a your home to take care of your beloved pets, take them on walks, administer medication, going vet or grooming appointments, or just spending time with them. I do not work on Thursdays or weekends. Those days would be very flexible time wise. I can be a morning person and a night owl. Since I have worked with so many animals, I understand that some pets take time to warm up. While many are outgoing and friendly, some need more time to smell you and hear your voice. Reading body language is important and being aware when an animal might be stressed is essential. My cats like attention on their terms, and that’s okay. They come to me when they want the attention. I’m happy to work with pets at whatever pace makes them most comfortable.

“Sophie was outstanding! Highly recommend!”

About: I have lots of experience with all types of dogs. I grew up in the country taking care of dogs, babysat dogs for family friends, and now have a dog of my very own. I am currently working part-time, I am a kindergarten teacher so I have most of the summer off. During the school year I will work 7:30-3 but can still care for your dog as I give them lots of attention before and after work. I also have a boyfriend who will be with them before and after work giving them extra potty breaks and playtime since we work different hours. On the weekends I would be home with them the entire time! I would love to keep there schedule as close to what there used to as possible. I do have a 110lb German shepherd so would only take dogs who are good with other dogs. My dog LOVES to play with other dogs. I live on 30 Acres of farm land and a long drive way away from the road so there is plenty of room for your dog to run and play. I also have a huge cage inside and a kennel outside If that what’s your dog is used to. We can also talk about leashes if you prefer they are on a leash! We would do lots of outside activities, including walks and fetch. Your dog is allowed on my furniture if that’s what they are used to at home!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 years old. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for dog walking on weekends and weekdays after 3pm! I make sure that their dogs exercise regularly. They deserve to be happy and adventurous outdoors and playtime as well! Being patience and loving them is my top key on how they will get along with me.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets as well as neighbour's occasionally for about 5 years! I feed, bathe, and exercise my pets as needed. I have also taken care of other animals, such as guinea pigs, turtles, bunnies, and cats! I am very flexible! I just graduated high school and looking for a temporary summer job before I move off to college! I can work Sunday-Friday anytime from 7am-5pm! I have two friendly outdoor dogs, as well as a big outdoor dog kennel if they needed to be separated. I also have a smaller cage to keep your fur baby inside if needed!
