About: My career goal is a physician assistant (PA) and my love for providing quality care isn’t limited to humans. I have experience with cats and dogs of varying breed, ages, and temperament. I am excited to have the opportunity to care for your loved ones and promise to provide dependable service :) I am a recent graduate looking for a fun job before PA school. My week is wide open and I’m willing to accommodate your busy schedule I’m here for whatever your babies may need! Whether that’s playing, going for walks, pet sessions, or just keeping eachother company. I’m flexible with the type of care your pet may require.

About: Hi loving pet parents! My name is Brooke. I may be new to Rover, but I’m no stranger to pet care and I’m ready to become besties with your pup! I have cared for pets since I was 12-years-old, and I love all dogs, no matter the size, shape, or personality. I've grown up and cared for several breeds - from boxers, to cockapoos, to labs, to frenchies - and I am comfortable taking an energetic pup on a run, or I can be a couch-potato with a dog that loves to cuddle. It's my utmost goal to make your dog feel comfortable, loved, and relaxed while you're away! I work a hybrid-remote job with a flexible schedule. The longest I will be out of the house is 5 hours per day, and I am able to build my schedule around your dogs' needs! I am able to accommodate any routine your pup has, and I will give them all the love they need while you are away. I can easily crate them if needed, or stick to any feeding, exercise, and/or medication schedules you have in place.

About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life. I have come across every shape, size and breed. I can’t describe in words how much I love dogs! I am currently studying for the BAR exam. This makes my availability very consistent and flexible. I can stay home to give all the attention your pets deserve. I recently parted with my 12 year old German Shepard dog. This means I have a pet free environment for the first time in my life. I have plenty of love to share with animals.

“Leah was great for Arf’s daily walk. She was on time, sent a report and pictures each day. She was accommodating when I needed to add an extra day and prompt to respond. We will definitely use her again!”


“Ari & Nihita are great! Communicative about when they are coming to take Beau for his walk, and leave great updates about how it goes-including pictures of how it went.”


About: i have always been around animals and I love them so much! i’ve had 5 different dogs throughout my lifetime, both during my childhood and up until just a few years ago, and i currently have a cat named zuri. that being said, i am a cat person as equally as i am a dog person, but having a dog of my own just isn’t realistic for my life right now! my schedule is fairly flexible and I am willing to work with yours :-) i work a hybrid remote/in-person job and have a bit of flexibility in my schedule. evenings and lunch hours are the best times for me, and i’m also around most weekends! i try to keep my calendar on the Rover app up to date, but feel free to message with questions. i do have a 10 y/o cat that will be around if you choose to board your dog — just something to consider prior to booking! meet and greets are always a good idea, but i’ll let you make that decision!

About: Hi! We are Aaron and Jazmine. We have raised cats from kittens to senior aged and love them dearly! We also have experience with big and small dogs. We are local to NE MPLS, and can bike/drive around to get to your fur babies. We both work remote with our cats all day and would love a chance to get to meet new pets during our work days - we can even hang out all day if needed! We both currently work remote with flexible hours so we will be able to either split up the visits and / or come individually if requested. We currently only offer all services other than boarding. We will follow any rules/guidelines given by the owners, and be sure to respect their pets property and personal space (or lack of personal space for cuddly pets!).

“Anders was responsive to our pet needs and kept us informed. Two walks were cancelled due to Anders’ unexpected health concerns however he let us know immediately. We have two huskies and would recommend Anders for large dogs.”


About: I'm a theatre teacher and dog lover and with school out for the summer, I have some extra time and energy to spend it keeping your furry family member happy, safe, and loved while you're away! As an educator, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility to pet care. Whether it’s energetic walks, relaxing cuddle time, or sticking to special routines, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique personality and needs. You can count on me for: 🎭 Daily walks, playtime, and enrichment 🐾 Drop-ins, house sitting, or overnight care 🦴 Feeding, meds, and updates with adorable photos 🏠 Respectful, tidy care of your home during visits I co-parent a sweet rescue Pitanese named Atlas, but he will not be present in my home when your dog(s) come to stay. I will only care for one dog family in my home at a time (up to 2 dogs.) As a devoted dog parent, I know how important it is to trust someone with your family member(s), and I’d be honored to provide a reliable, loving presence while you’re away. Let’s connect—I can’t wait to meet your furry family! I will be off from my teaching job throughout much of the summer, so will have a very flexible schedule to spend with your pet(s)! I live in the bottom unit of a duplex home and have full access to a fully fenced in yard. My upstairs neighbor has a dog, but doesn't use the yard with his dog and exits through a separate entrance. I'm a gardener, so your dog will always be supervised while playing in the yard. We live near trails and a park, so there is plenty of opportunity for enrichment on walks as well. I allow my dog on the sofa, but if this is not a habit you want your dog to pick up, I will follow those instructions. I have past experience giving oral medication, caring for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs in recovery from an injury.

About: I’ve taken care of many different pets my whole life, I grew up with many different pets in my family. I currently have a well trained pet of my own, my friends and family come to me when they are in need of a sitter. I’m currently a part time college student, so I only go to class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, with my remaining time out of school, I have plenty of time to play and hangout with pets! I do not have a fully fenced yard but I do have a gated area on the side of my house. The gated area is big enough for dogs to run and play! I also have a small dog of my own to keep other dogs entertained!
