About: I’ve been a dedicated pet owner for 28 years, with experience caring for dogs and other animals, including those with IVDD, separation anxiety, and senior pets. This hands-on experience has taught me patience, compassion, and attentiveness. I’m committed to providing safe, tailored care that meets each pet’s unique needs. **To ensure safe handling and quality care, I focus on small dogs (25 lbs and under), which allows me to give each pup the attention and comfort they deserve. I’m available most days to shower your small dog with love and care during drop-in visits. For safety and the best care for your pup, I'm currently only handling dogs 25lbs and under. I’m flexible with timing and always make sure your pup feels happy, safe, and comfortable. If your pet needs a ride to the vet or groomer please feel free to ask! I can transport your small pups to their appointments! In my personal experience caring for my dachshund, Scarlett, we enjoy daily walks and playtime in a fenced area. She has scheduled medication and meal times, which has helped me develop strong skills in following routines and managing special needs with patience and attentiveness. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet in their own home. During drop-in visits, I follow your routines closely to minimize stress and ensure your dog feels secure. I keep a watchful eye on their behavior and health, and I’m prepared to respond calmly to any emergencies. Your pet’s safety and trust are my top priorities, and I always communicate openly with you to keep you informed.

About: I've been around and taken care of many dogs since I was a kid! As an adult, I've had many friends, family members, and neighbors trust me to care for their pets! Right now, I work a seasonal job and I am available on Wednesday and Thursday. I'm also available on many evenings opposite those days, as well as some mornings. In My Home: Pets are treated like family! I provide a safe, cozy, and low-stress environment with lots of love, playtime, and attention. Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level, and I stick to their routine as closely as possible—including feeding, meds, and bedtime preferences. I also offer quiet spaces for pets who need a little extra comfort or downtime. In Your Home: I respect your home and your pet’s routine. I keep things tidy and make sure your pet feels safe and loved in their own space. I stick to feeding schedules, provide enrichment, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and clean-up. I can also send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and doing great while you're away.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I lived in the country so we had lots of pets growing up. I would give them food and water everyday. I have a cat of my own. If I could, I would have a lot more animals but I live in an apartment so I can't! I thought doing Rover would allow me to watch pets while still living in an apartment. I will ensure to give my full attention to your pets. I do have a cat but she loves animals and will do no harm.

About: Hello, my name is Delaney. I live with my husband Alex in Bismarck. We have a 3 year old Jack Russel mix named Mortimer, a 2 year old cat named Sprig, and a new little guy named Greg. He’s also a JRT mix. He’s pretty high energy at the moment, but he gets along with all dogs very well, and he is up to date on all vaccines. I have experience caring for all sorts of pets. I was in 4-H dog club for 5 years as a teenager, where I was trained in many aspects of dog care and training. I also volunteered at a dog shelter for several years. Throughout the years I’ve had cats, birds, hamsters, fish, dogs, chickens, and a pig. We have a clean, spacious house surrounded by a fully fenced-in yard. We are fully stocked with dog toys, bowls, leashes, and grooming supplies. My husband Alex works a very flexible schedule from his home office, and I work only 4 blocks away, so we are fully available to give your pets plenty of care and attention at all times of the day or night. I’m a big advocate of brain games and I love using Licki mats to help mentally stimulate them with frozen treats like goats milk and other natural, raw foods. All other treats are wholistic and without soy, corn, wheat, or byproducts. We have plenty of safe toys available of all different types. We only use plant based and natural cleaning products as well.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life — from cuddly cats to playful dogs. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and sweet senior pets who need a little extra attention and patience. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality. I treat every animal like they’re my own — with love, safety, and lots of affection. Caring for animals has always been a meaningful part of my life. I used to care for my own pet every day, and after their passing, I realized how much comfort and purpose that daily routine brought me. That’s why pet care isn’t just a job for me — it’s something that helps me heal and feel connected again. Now, I’m happy to include pet care in my weekly routine as both a responsibility and a form of gentle therapy. I give each pet my full attention, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Your pet will be treated with love, patience, and genuine care — just like I treated my own When I care for pets, safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can feel safe and relaxed. I always follow your instructions closely — from feeding routines to favorite toys or habits — and I respect your home just like I respect your pet. I take time to build trust with each animal, move at their pace, and make sure they feel comfortable, especially if they’re shy or anxious. If your pet stays in my home, I make sure the space is quiet, safe, and free of hazards. If I’m coming to your place, I treat it with care and make sure your pet gets the love and attention they’re used to.

About: Hello my names is Michaela and I’m an Animal Science major at Iowa State that loves animals and has lots of love to give your furry friends! I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, all shapes and sizes. I worked a a animal shelter for a while and nothing scares me! I miss my animals at home and it would be amazing to have a companion for the night! I will always treat you and your animals with the lost respect because I know they are a giant part of everyone’s daily life and family. Thank you for trusting me with them and I hope I can offer you a good experience and potentially have your pets in my care again! Thank you so much!

About: I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. Confident in handling walks! This is a side hustle to help pay for my college fund, and I’m also working with remote jobs so I have a lot of free time. When I care for pets in their own home, I stick closely to their regular routines to help them feel safe and relaxed. I follow detailed instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and bedtime routines. I also keep the home clean and tidy, give regular updates with photos/videos, and make sure your pet gets lots of attention and comfort while you’re away. I treat your space with the same respect I would my own.

“We booked Kari kinda last minute for on our wedding day after we had some set backs. She did such a great job and was very helpful in every way possible. Our dog has seizures and needs medication so I was very nervous leaving him but Kari helped put my mind at ease by giving him his meds on time and sending great photos of him to let us know it’s all going well.”

Growing up, I always grew up with at least one dog in our house. Most of the times, our dogs were rescues.

I love taking dogs for walks. Let me know if you believe I can help out when you or your family needs a vacation. I am also available to do drop ins and dog walks. Please let me know if you need me.

I can house sit for you, stop by for play/walk time, snuggle with your pet. Whatever you need from the comfort of your pet’s home!

About: I've been around animals my whole life! I have a strong bond and relationships towards animals I meet :) I have had a few of my own dogs and currently have one who is 4 years old! I also have a cat who is 6 years old. I do work full-time Monday-Friday but I do get to take a lunch break and come home if needed! I'm home during weeknights and weekends. I don't have a fenced yard but I will make sure to use a leash when taking your pet outside to go potty. I have a dog that can keep your dog company or I can keep them separated if that is preferred!

She comes from a household with several pets including both cats and dogs and knows how to care for them including feeding and exercising requirements.
