House Sitting Minnehaha

“Emma did a great job of making a connection with our dog. It was apparent he felt comfortable with her. We really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent to us regularly. Thank you!”

Trish N.

“Was very understanding when I mixed up the times, and was flexible when we came home early. She was very communicative, and took good care of our doggie.”

Grace N.

“Candice is great with our dog, for the past 2 years and now here on Rover. Maple gets so excited to see her like her long lost Bestie. She, spends time quality time outside playing with her, loving on her, hanging out & even waters my garden if we are gone for an extended time.”

“We have had to be out of town several times in the last couple of months. We have had Shalene watch Ozzie three times and he really seems to have a good bond with her. She is flexible and easy to work with.”

About: I’ve worked & volunteer at shelters for about 5 years and have experience working with different types of dogs such as reactive, fearful, shy and friendly; as well of many different breeds. I was crossed trained as a veterinary assistant and have given medication before. I’ve earn my CCTBS (Certified Canine Training and Behavior Specialist) with the Animal Behavior Institute and I’m in my last quarter to compete my Advanced Canine Certification as well as my Feline Certification. I offer both Dog & Cat training services! I do have a full time job that is in the evening however this gives me ample time to provide quality care such as play time and long walks in the morning and checking on them late at night for one last potty break and ensuring everything is locked up so your pet is safe & sound. If you leave detailed instructions, I will follow them to a T. I can also provide photos frequently to show your pet having fun and relaxing at home safely. If a concern arises, I will immediately notify you no matter how small. You can always reach out about anything and everything, I love communicating and would want the same if someone was caring for my animals.

“Rebecca helped us out during a huge last minute booking and stayed at our home for 3 weeks. Our dog and chickens were so lucky to have her. She did so many extra things we greatly appreciated. Can't keep expressing enough how thankful we are for her!”

“Lauren was excellent! She took wonderfully good care of our two dogs, interacted with them, and kept our home in wonderful condition. We would absolutely book her again.”

“Tanner is absolutely the best! He stayed in our home with Willy while we were out of town, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to care for him. Tanner went above and beyond, taking Willy on walks, playing with him, giving him plenty of attention, and making sure he was happy and comfortable while we were away. Tanner is incredibly kind, polite, professional, and clearly knowledgeable when it comes to caring for pets. He also took excellent care of our home and somehow left it in even better shape than when we left! We would wholeheartedly recommend Tanner to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. We will absolutely be using him again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our Willy, Tanner! 🐾”

“Jocelyn was wonderful with our senior kitty overnight. She was well taken care of and happy, and best of all I was comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely call Jocelyn again.”

Teresa L.

“Nevaeh did a wonderful job watching Archie. She was responsible, communicative, and sent plenty of updates and photos which I appreciated. She was quick to reach out with questions and concerns, and was an excellent problem solver. Nevaeh also left my house sparkling clean which was an amazing extra touch to come home to. I loved that I was not worried about Archie and feel that Nevaeh is a trustworthy sitter.”

Sloan N.

“Emily was a considerate and responsible house sitter and is definitely my go-to for the future. Our pup and healthy and happy and the house was immaculate. Thank you, Emily!”

Tamara B.

“Macie is excellent. Easy to communicate with from the beginning. Efficient in meeting us and our pup. Helped us integrate into Rover as newbies. Communicated well with us during our travels. We got great photos and updates. Our home was left clean and in perfect order. We will be rebooking.”

Erin M.

“Amanda was great. Pictures every day with very happy dogs. A very good communicater. Our home looked just like it did when we left. We are very happy and will use Amanda again. Thank you!!!! Blake and Kathryn”

Blake M.

“Natalee was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time ever using Rover or any similar service, and she completely put all of our worries and concerns at ease. From the very beginning, her professionalism, communication, and genuine care stood out. She was incredibly accommodating, understanding, and kept us updated throughout the entire process, which gave us so much peace of mind. We truly could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”

Andrew A.

“Jennifer has stayed with my Puggle, Toulouse, twice now in our home and I plan to request her again in the future. She is responsive when I reach out and she sends daily updates of how he’s doing. Toulouse is comfortable with Jennifer and loves playing tug of war with her (a great sign)! When I’ve returned home my place is just as good as I left it and my boy is happy. I couldn’t ask for more. I whole heartedly recommend Jennifer!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, and I always strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd mix, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and high-energy dogs. I’ve also administered medications to my own dogs when needed and always follow care instructions carefully. Beyond caring for my own pets, I’ve looked after many friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. I also rescued one of my own dogs, which gave me experience helping an adult dog adjust to a new home, build confidence, and replace unwanted habits with positive behaviors through patience and consistent training. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your dog prefers a relaxing walk or an active adventure, I’ll tailor their care to their individual needs while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. If I’m providing house sitting, I just ask for about two hours each day to care for and exercise my own dogs while my husband is at work. Outside of that, I’m committed to following your pet’s normal routine and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and any special instructions so they receive the care they’re used to. Whether we’re out on a walk or spending time at home, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or house sitting, I’ll provide attentive, compassionate care while doing my best to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I’d also be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I won't just treat them as a "pet" I treat all animals as family. I have taken care of various dog and cats from family members and friends since I was a child. This included staying over, walking, feeding, training and playing. At the moment I am pursuing schooling for dog training so I have open availability I usually ask for a days notice but it never hurts to ask. I have had experience with larger dogs (German shepherds, Great Pyerenese, Pitbulls and Saint Bernards) as well as small dogs (Chihuahua's, Shih Tzu and Dachshunds). I also provide baths and nail trimming when asked. I enjoy running too so if your looking to get your dog in shape! If your pets coming to my house they must be crate trained (for when I sleep) and friendly with other dogs.

“We had a wonderful experience with Nazeerah as our house and dog sitter. She took excellent care of our dogs and our home while we were away. Nazeerah sent frequent pictures, videos, and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. It was clear our dogs were comfortable and happy with her, which meant a lot to us. When we returned, our home was well cared for and everything was just as we left it. We are very grateful for the care and attention Nazeerah gave both our pets and our home, and we would happily trust her again in the future.”

“Julie was an absolute gem! Our girl calmed right down and enjoyed her new friend. Julie sent us photos showing Rosie nice and relaxed at hom, as well as playing ball. She even washed the sheets and emptied the dishwasher! We will definitely ask Julie to stay again.”

Sara R.

“Irina was fantastic for our overnight stay w the puppy. We had to go out of town for a last minute trip, but after meeting Irina felt completely at easy that Maverick would be in good hands. Just the right amount of updates and pics meant we didn't have to worry while we were away. Will definitely contact her again for our next trip!”
