Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Merrlam Park, Saint Paul, MN

“Amy is truly a dog whisperer! My very barky and unsure husky mix warmed up to her within a few minutes and has been great for all the visits. Our other dog, a little beagle, has been a cuddle machine with her. I would recommend Amy with 10 stars if I could. We are definitely having her back!”

“Tanya was wonderful! Sophie had a great time, got plenty of love and care and was settled when we returned home. Got detailed reports on Sophie’s wellbeing throughout our time away. Would definitely rebook!”

“Xinia is an excellent dog sitter! She meets my anxious dog at her level and goes above and beyond to ensure her comfort and trust. Xinia is very reliable and I just know my dog enjoys seeing her! I will definitely book her again 😊”

“Jennifer took excellent care of my pup, Luchito. She dropped in and took him out, played and fed him. It put me at ease knowing he was in good hands. She was great at communicating updates. Would highly recommend and will hire again in the future.”

“Kristen started regular drop-ins with our dog last week, and so far we’ve been so pleased! She’s very timely and it’s obvious that she loves animals. We get an update with photos every day which is great. We are really thankful to have her!”

“Molly was so so sweet and patient with my two cats. I had her stop in for 5 days while I was on vacation and I could tell from the photos, they really enjoyed her presence and felt cared for. Molly stayed for longer than was needed and also brought my kitties a cat toy they love🥹. I don’t have enough good things to say about her care for my babies. This was my first time ever using Rover and Molly made my experience 110% exceed my expectations. I will be re-booking with her in the future. Thank you so much Molly! ❤️”

“Samantha took care of my cat Maple again while I was on vacation and she once again provided exceptional care. I really appreciated her thoughtful and detailed summaries of her visits as well as all of the pictures. I also left a lot of specific details to follow regarding Maple’s care and really appreciated how Samantha adhered to them all. I was at ease once again during my vacation knowing that Maple was in good hands!”

Jennifer S.

“Susan is prompt, responsible, great at communicating , and treats our boy like her own. I have never had a pet sitter I trusted completely with our home and our beloved Wiener dog! She is wonderful!!”

About: I have been a pet owner for the entirety of my adult life and grew up taking care of my family's pets and the pets of friends and neighbors as needed - I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, fish, - happy to help care for whichever animal friend in your home needs extra love. My partner and I currently own two dogs with a variety of needs - both are rather anxious with different triggers. I'm used to and comfortable making connections with all dogs - from those most anxious to those most friendly! I have experience training and working with dogs with reactivity - one of my pups has leash reactivity that we still work on day-to-day, but he has come leaps and bounds from his anxiety around seeing other dogs on walks! I'm happy to work with dogs who have various energy, anxiety, and health needs when it comes to spoiling them during drop-ins or walks! Outside of behavior-specific skills, I have experience working with medically needy dogs. One of my pets went through a series of reconstructive surgeries after having two broken "ankles" a few years ago. From helping him lift his own body weight for potty breaks, med and pain management, bandage/wound dressing, physical therapy excercise adherence, and above all else, patience and love for the healing process! If you have a pet who has recently been through surgery or has extra medical care needs, I'm ready to learn their routine and help you manage their health and recovery. I work from home throughout the summer months and would LOVE to drop in and help YOU navigate caring for your pet during hectic times in your schedule! I am available most weekdays (except Wednesdays) and weekends for drop-ins, walks, etc. I am pretty flexible and have a wide-open schedule right now to fit your pet's needs into my daily and weekly routine this summer! I am truly dedicated to helping care for your pet in the way that makes sense for you, your pet, your home, etc. I am happy to follow various care instructions including specific walking routes, med or food plans, etc. If you have specific requests for me as a guest in your home as I'm doing drop-ins or walk appointments, I'm happy to follow! I truly am looking to help spoil your animal friends while respecting your routine and needs!

“Kayleah is great! She helped us out last minute and was so efficient with communication during our time away. Our cat is also very particular about strangers and she did a great job taking care of him. We will continue to book her if we ever need someone to take care of our little fur babies while we’re gone.”

“Brianna helped me out with a last min emergency. She was prompt, communicative, and professional. Really appreciate your help so last minute. Absolute lifesaver!”

About: Hi there! I’m Lillian, a Seattle native who recently moved to Saint Paul for work. I am a huge animal lover :) I have two kittens, Texas Roadhouse and Applebee’s, so I’m no stranger to taking care of pets. I also have experience walking dogs. I am communicative, gentle, and responsible. I treat all pets like they are my own ❤️ I’d love to connect with you and your pet(s) anytime! I work full-time, so I am available to take care of pets in the evenings and all day on weekends! However, I am always flexible and will do my best to make things work outside of the above schedule if needed! I am a detail-oriented person who is dedicated to taking care of pets. This involves reading all instructions carefully, proactively asking questions, and being prepared with things like poop bags. I understand how important fur babies are to us parents, and I treat all pets as if they were my own!

“This experience has been just phenomenal! Donna was very patient with my girls and her daily checkin was what I waited for every day I was away! What a pleasure to find a wonderful service that does exactly what they say they'll do! Thanks again!”

“Daniel has experience with dogs, and recently had a drop in visit for my Great Dane, Lola, and her sister, Smiley. Daniel is responsive and reliable! We will rebook with Daniel and highly recommend!”

About: Your pet’s happiness is my main priority. I have experience with big dogs and small dogs. I've grown up with Mastiffs and Great Danes. I have always been an animal lover of all kinds. I have had dogs all my life! I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own. I am married so when I’m away taking care of your pets my husband is home taking care of ours. I used to use Rover briefly years ago to help care for pets as a fun side job but working another full time made my availability difficult to work with consistently. I recently decided to start being active on Rover again now that I have more availability because working with animals is something that truly makes me happy and I’m passionate about. Daily walking (if requested) and playtime are included with house sitting. I can make adjustments to make your pet as comfortable as possible. I want to do whatever I can to be their advocate out in the world. My pets are my babies and I will treat your pets the same. I enjoy training animals and encourage proper leash & obedience training. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! 🥰🐾 I’m currently working part time as a personal trainer so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I’m currently very flexible for pet care. I treat your pets like my own! I make sure they are always well taken care of and happy! We play as much as they want and will go on plenty of walks if requested. Can’t forget about the endless supply of pets and cuddles as they please! I also can understand and respect a pet that appreciates their space and has healthy boundaries.

“Gabriel is fantastic with our 3 cats. She takes great care of them. She provides photos and videos of their interactions. Also, she engages them in their favorite games with their toys and their lasers, etc. We have had Gabriel take care of our cats for short weekend trips and most recently a long eight day trip. We always come home to find our cats happy and healthy.”

“It has been so awesome to have Patrick do drop in visits with my puppy. Patrick has been incredibly reliable, and his updates and photos provide so much peace of mind while I'm at work.”

About: I've had dogs since I was little and for years I have house sat, walked, and feed many other cuties (dogs and cats) around my neighborhood. I really love befriending the animals and making sure they are happy and healthy. I’m currently a junior at Macalester college and am able to caretake Monday-Sunday! The longest I would leave your pet would be for 4 hours. I always make sure your pet has had enough outside time and indoor play time. I consistently will check the water bowl and make sure to feed them on a schedule so they expect it! Other than the necessities I love spending extra time with them playing or watching a movie so they feel comfortable, happy, and safe.
