House Sitting Minot

“Colleen and her boyfriend took wonderful care of our dog and cat while we were abroad. They left the house spotless, and Colleen even got our shy cat to come out of his shell! Highly recommend them for peace of mind while you're away.”

“Erin took excellent care of our dog Arthur for a long weekend. She was communicative before the stay and arrived on time. She sent texts and picture updates throughout the stay, and she left our home so neat and clean it was like no one had even stayed there. We would highly recommend Erin for her dog sitting services.”

About: I’ve enjoyed walking dogs since I was a child. I’ve taken care of many puppies and older dogs. I understand the special care that they require. I’m happy to take dogs in to our home as well as going to people’s homes to pet sit. I work most week days until 5. I am free to help with visits and walks at night. I am free on the weekends for taking in pets for overnights or going to your home to visit, walks, play and feeding pets. I have a section at my home that is fenced in or I walk dogs on the leash. I walk often and make sure to stick to schedules and feeding routines. I have so much love for animals and love nothing more than caring for them.

“Laura stayed with our dog for 2 days and was fantastic. She sent lots of pictures, followed our directions to a T, gave him lots of attention and walks. She was very caring, and responsive and we felt extremely comfortable with her there because of it! Highly recommend and will definitely be scheduling with her again.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always had them in my adult life as well. I also work part time at a doggy playgroup so I have a-lot of experience with all breeds and sizes of dogs as well as going into peoples homes to pick up and drop off pets. All weather is fine with me and have a very flexible schedule to accommodate yours and your pets needs. I am also a real estate agent if you need any help finding your new home I am your girl :-) I am a real estate agent so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate your needs and work around my schedule. Very flexible I have a fully fenced in yard. I live in a great quiet area that is good for walking or even going on runs with your dog.

About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.

“Gail was so amazing with Beau! We were able to book her last minute which was much appreciated. She gave us updates and pictures of Beau, even a doggy report card at the end! She is a true dog lover and great sitter”

About: I have taken care of dogs of multiple sizes and breeds from the age of 8. I have always been a natural dog lover! Although newer to cats, my experience in the field of ABA has made me patient, dependable, and attentive to behavior and routines. I follow instructions carefully and provide calm, compassionate, and individualized care, no matter the population or demographic I am working with! I am currently in my masters program for applied behavior analysis, gaining my fieldwork for ABA. I have flexible hours and often have availability periodically throughout the day! If communicated prior, I am easily able to accommodate most schedules. I communicate with the owner to ensure I understand each pet’s routine, providing feeding, walks, play, or medication all as directed, as each pet has their own individual needs! My priory is to maintain attention while keeping the clients home clean and secure.

“Valerie stayed with our three dogs for five days and did a great job managing their meds and keeping up with their schedule. She gave us regular updates and left our house spotless. We came home to three dogs that barely seemed to notice we’d been gone. We will be calling Valerie again!”

“Wow!!! How lucky are we to have found Allegra!!! She is AMAZING!! Allegra stayed with our dog, Koko, at our house for three weeks while we were away on vacation. Koko is a smart and gorgeous covid rescue who is still leery of strangers and remains fearful of being given away. She is very much attached at the hip … to just us … so we were worried about how she would do with a stranger. Flash forward, there was no need to worry! Allegra connected with Koko right away… which is no small feat! Allegra gained Koko’s trust in no time. Like us, she took Koko on varied daily adventures… to cranberry bogs, beaches and state parks. Bottom line is … Koko absolutely adores Allegra and I think the feeling is mutual! Allegra is kind, respectful, conscientious, and communicative. She sent us lots of pictures documenting how much fun she and Koko were having together. Plus, she took wonderful care of our home! We arrived home to a happy dog and an immaculate house! Allegra obviously takes pride in doing a great job and we are tickled pink that she kept up our daily routines with Koko. We will definitely request Allegra in the future. She will ALWAYS be our first choice!”

“Nathalia was fantastic! On time, communicative, and thorough. She made sure our very anxious dog was at ease and happy the entire time which isn’t always an easy task! She is everything you would hope for in a sitter!”

About: If you need over night boarding, I only board dogs at my house if they are crate trained. Thanks for understanding! I have been around dogs for over 10 years. I have experience owning a working breed, there is nothing I haven’t seen! I am comfortable with different training methods and tools. I am currently working full-time in a hybrid role, remote Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays to help dog sit and dog walk during my remote days. To start, I am able to dog sit/walk only at clients homes. If they are crate trained. I am happy to take care of the dog at my house with a fenced in yard.

“Isabelle was amazing. We can tell Mia loved being with her with all the updates, notes and photos she would send us! We are so grateful we found Isabelle and will for sure use her services whenever we go away!”

“Pam is absolutely fantastic. We have used her for years and she continues to care for Shaka with love. She is genuinely a kind and always dependable sitter. She is deeply appreciated my our family.”

“Our first time hiring outside of family membets so we were extremly netvous. The rover site was a nice easy platform and process as well. We chose Janice and we knew immediately at the meet and greet we chose the right person for us and Louie our 2yo Cavapoo. She had us feeling at ease and comfortable thruout the visit that we had no issues to worry about. She provided a pic and feedback to us while away. She was very professional,friendly, kind and knowledgable. Through our comunications with her i knew she loved and nutured all animals and safety was of utmost importance. She is a very loving and conscientious knowledgable caretaker and would not hesitate to hire her again! The very best and Louie and our family are very fortunate to have found her, we thank you Rover!!”

“I could not recommend Shauna more! She stayed at our home with our pup for over a week while we were on vacation and our house and dog could not have been in better hands. She sent wonderful updates/photos and cared for our place as if it were her own. Having someone so responsible while being away made our trip just that much more enjoyable. We can hardly wait to have her back and I know our furry friend agrees! Thank you, Shauna!”

“Avery took great care of our animals and home while we were away! Both of our dogs needed medication and she did a great job administering both pills and eye drops. She kept an open line of communication and reached out if she ever had any concerns/questions and vice versa. Our house was pristine when we got home as well. We would hire her again. Thanks again Avery!”

Megyn N.

“Abhay was absolutely amazing. On first contact, his enthusiasm to meet and greet both us an our animals was encouraging. We knew from first meet that we could be confident and comfortable leaving our babies and our home in his care for two weeks. We were not wrong. Everything went as planned and our babies and our home were cared for perfectly according to our requests. We would, without question, request his services again and highly recommend to others.”

“Nicole was a wonderful house sitter. We have two GSPs and they loved her. She exercised them enough to keep them happy and noted when they needed a rest (because they won’t stop). She provided lots of love and cuddles (which they also need 🥰) and sent us many pics showing them happy and relaxed. Additionally, she left the house spotless - I couldn’t have asked for a better feeling walking in the door. Highly recommend her and will definitely get on her future schedule!”
