About: Hi! my name Juliana. As an experienced pet caretaker, I have the knowledge and skills that make me the perfect choice for taking care of your pet! I have taken care of both family and friend’s pets ( cats and dogs) and I understand the importance of providing attentive and loving care to make sure they are comfortable and happy. As a Dachshund owner myself, I know how important it is to follow routines and keep in mind specific needs. You can trust that I will provide your furry friend/child with the same level of care and attention that I give my own. Currently my schedule is limited because I don’t work from home, except for Fridays. Therefore, I’m available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for walks and drop ins. I can easy walk your dog and provide the exercise they need around the North Loop / Downtown Minneapolis area. For cat owners, I can provide visits to make sure food and litter are taken care of. Additionally, I volunteer at Minneapolis Animal Care & Control with both cats and dogs, which has helped me to understand behaviors and how to manage difficult situations.

Lauren is such a wonderful person! Very personable, great communication, and she took such great care of my dog Skylar. They went for an hour-long walk around my neighborhood. Skylar looked so happy and was perfectly tired from the exercise. Highly recommend Lauren and will definitely book again!

About: I've lived with animals my entire life and have been taking care of my own since I was about 7 years old. I've had a few dogs in my family: a chihuahua, shar pei, golden retriever, pomeranian, dachshund, and a chow chow; with experience from puppies to seniors. Cats have also been a constant throughout my whole life, from kittens to seniors as well. There hasn't been a moment I haven't had at least one cat in my home. I've had a few other kinds of smaller critters too: guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and lizards. I'm well versed in pet body language and reading what they desire or need, and have lots of love to give your baby(ies)! They deserve the world. I absolutely adore all animals and spending time with them is my favorite activity. Rover is my full-time job, so I can spend as much time as needed with your fur baby and make frequent check-ins or walks if desired! If your companion(s) is friendly to strangers, I will be sure to give them plenty of attention, play time, petting, and walks (if applicable) in addition to basic care and any other requests. If they're not comfortable with new people, I will respect their space and boundaries based on what they're telling me so they feel relaxed and safe. Every animal is different and I adapt to their personality and pace.

About: Hi! I'm Brinn and I'm a Minnesota transplant, here from Michigan. I've grown up with dogs, cats, and other small animas my entire life. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time M-F but have a flexible schedule, especially on Mondays, Fridays, and throughout the weekend. I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or sitting during these times, and I’m often able to adjust my availability as needed. Please feel free to reach out for my exact hours — I’m flexible with both time and location and always happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I’m always respectful of your space and follow your care instructions closely. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as much as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel comfortable and at ease. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and keep a close eye on your pet’s comfort and safety. I also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Laura is an excellent dog walker! She took a preliminary walk with us to learn my dog’s habits and routines, and was great at communicating upcoming schedules. My dog was so happy to see her and walk with her each day and I got great updates. I would highly recommend Laura for dog walking or dog sitting.

Great First Experience with Rover I used Rover for the first time to find a last-minute dog walker, and it was a fantastic experience. My walker was super communicative, accommodating, and made the process stress-free. I got updates, photos, and a happy pup at the end. Highly recommend and will use again!

About: Before leaving for college my parents bought a beautiful Pomeranian at 12 weeks old and she continues to be the sweetest girl ever. Now there are 2 Poms and I can just tell you I know how much effort goes into potty training, crate training, and behavior training! Being around that helped me realize the difficulties and differences between each dog. And since going to college I have dog walked for a few pet owners and I recognize the importance of following pet parent's guidelines and instructions and want to bring that service to you! With the end of my college semester approaching my schedule opens up significantly. I work ~30 hours a week, as early as 5:30 and as late as 7:30, with each shift being around 6.5 hours. With this my schedule allows me more time to check on your furry family easier. I cannot host pets in my dorm as the rules don't allow it. But! I have 2 Poms and understand just how sneaky and fast all animals can be! I am dedicated to protecting your pet as my own.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always been involved in their care. In addition, I’ve had extensive experience training and fostering future service dogs from as young as 8 weeks old through 2 years old. Through this, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and ages. I understand how important consistency and routine can be for dogs, so I’d love to learn about your dog’s specific schedule, habits, and needs to help them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while you’re away. I am currently working remotely from home Monday thru Friday 7:30 am to 4 pm. I have take a break for lunch around 12 pm. So, I will be available to stop by over lunch or in the afternoons. As well as, I will be available on select weekends. I am willing to follow you and your dogs routine while in your house during feeding and playtime. Safety is one of my priorities while watching your furry friend. I will treat the experience as I would want my own for to be treated.

Mary walked my dogs for 3 days. She is reliable and although it wasn’t her job this time, she noticed and alerted us to an accident one of our dogs had inside. I really appreciated that, because it was our first clue that Lily had a bladder infection. We really appreciate the way Mary takes care of our dogs.
