Pet care experience

We’re a family pet sitting team!

Hello! We are a family of pet lovers - Denise, Adam and Brenna. We have been dog owners for nearly our whole lives and we love all animals. We want to provide the same level of care you do for your pets while you are away. Most of the care we provide through Rover is pet sitting in your home to make them most comfotable. We can also do drop-in visits or walk visits 1-3 times per day if that's a better fit. If it’s acceptable to the pet and the owner, my 11 year old daughter will help me with pet sitting/walking, but if you have a kid-shy pet that’s ok too - I can care for your pet in your home without my daughter present as well. My husband will provide care on a back-up basis only if I am unavailable or am kept away from the home for an extended period for some reason (usually only in emergencies). I do work full time, so pets may be left alone for a few hours during the day Monday - Friday, depending on work and other obligations during the week. The most we ever would leave a pet alone would be 9 hours, and that would be very rare. Usually it's more like 4-5 hours and it's not every day. I do have the option to work my FT job remotely from your home some weekdays, it all depends on the schedule, which will be communicated with you at the time we book. We have been doing Rover for over 5 years and we love meeting new animals and families! We have experience taking care of medically special needs pets - diabetic, blind, and senior. We also have cared for chickens, ducks, rabbits, parrots, and even cows. All animals will be loved like they are our own.

Safety, trust & environment

I always keep dogs on leashes or in fences. I make sure to close garage doors before opening inside doors. I want to make sure your pet stays safe while with us, especially if they are feeling anxious while their family is away.

It was our first time using Denise and Brenna and they were fantastic! It was great to get timely communication and pictures. If we ever have another need, we will definitely use them again.

I can’t say enough nice things about Denise. My dog, Aretha, had a wonderful time. House was picked up when we returned. 5 stars!

Denise is very thorough and does a great job visiting our boys! We got a ton of photos of our kitties of them playing, getting pets, fed, watered and their boxes cleaned. She even watered my struggling plants 😂 overall a great experience, will continue to have Denise visit in the future. Thanks for everything!!

Schedule

I work full-time in Fridley (1-2 days per week) or remotely so am available for drop in visits on evenings or weekends. When house sitting I work remotely about 60% of the time. We do a lot of pet/home sitting for short weekend stays, but have also stayed in homes for 7-10 days while families are on vacation. Drop in visits with cats can be fit into our schedule pretty seamlessly.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Denise can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I will review any special diet, medication, exercise and/or sleep routines with you for your pet. I also want to know their favorite toys, treats or activities and any things that they don’t like as much, so I can avoid them. Due to past experiences with boarding, I would want to do know about any history of property destruction (furniture, shoes, etc) and whether your dog is crate trained.
