“Awnna did an amazing job caring for our two dogs and we will definitely have her back! Very responsible and let us have updates immediately to know how they were doing.”


“Rhonda was fantastic! We needed a cat sitter on short notice and turned to the Rover app for the first time—so glad we found her. She responded quickly and was happy to help. We met beforehand and she was so friendly and easy to talk to. While we were away, she kept in great contact, sent us adorable pictures, and clearly took wonderful care of our cat, Q. He warmed up to her and trusts her, which says a lot! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book her again.”


“Katie's messages and updates I enjoyed reading every day. Always punctual and extremely polite. Our dog had the best week with her and highly recommend her for any service.”


About: For as long as I can remember, I have had an animal in my house! I have volunteered at animals shelters and been exposed to many sizes and different types of cats and dogs. I am usually flexible with scheduling depending on my job. At home, I have two cats and used to have a dog. I loved taking my dog for long walks in our neighborhood and laying around with my cat. I am a respectable young adult who care deeply for animals and other people. I would love to get to know you and all of you animals! Please, feel free to reach out! I work 4 and a half days a week at my “big girl” job! My weekends are completely open starting mid-Friday. I also start later in the mornings so I can pop by for a morning walk and/or come by on my long lunch hour for visits during the week. With our two boys at home, I am unable to keep other pets in the house, but am happy to spend as much time as needed at your home!

“Ajia was wonderful! We love her! She sent updates and pictures. She followed our instructions and requests. She did exactly what we wanted and more. We will definitely ask her back. She’s our new cat sitter. 🐱”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly love caring for them. I grew up with a variety of pets including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and bunnies, which gave me a deep appreciation for animals of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience providing pet care, including overnight stays, administering medications, and keeping pets comfortable and happy in their home environment. I always focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine—whether that’s mealtime schedules, daily walks, playtime, or a bit of training and structure. I’m also experienced in caring for senior pets and can support their specific needs with patience and care. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give you peace of mind while you're away. I can also send you daily updates/photos of your fur babies so you know they are being well taken care of! I have both a dog and cat that I take care of every day. My dog is a three year old energetic lab/springer mix and I have a one year old orange kitty. I love getting outside and having playtime or going on walks with my dog and playing with my cat. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, following any specific instructions you provide—like feeding schedules, medications, or routines. When pets stay with me, my home is set up to be a safe and welcoming space where they can relax and feel at ease. During drop-in visits, I’m respectful of your home and make sure to keep everything just as I found it. In all cases, I take the time to build trust and move at each pet’s pace to ensure they feel secure and loved. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets.

“We hired Maya to give our dogs a potty break while my husband and I were out for the day, and she was absolutely wonderful! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pups weren’t stuck inside all day. Maya was prompt, reliable, and kind. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring with your pets.”


“Linsie was AMAZING with our dog, Ellie. Our dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times meeting new people, but Linsie was so calm and kind with her! We even asked short notice and she was able to come through and help us! Thanks again, Linsie!”


About: I am Annie! 29 years old and currently working part time at mayo while I wait to get into nursing school! I have a 4 year old dog, she is a spayed female English springer and field spaniel mix! About 35 pounds and she goes everywhere with me, she is friendly with dogs, cats, humans and kids! Before I decided to start the nursing program I was a vet tech for 8 years and pride in my experience of caring for animals. I have delt with ill animals, medications/injections, non ambulatory, incontinent, aggression and more. I have done dog and house sitting for about 10 years, it started with friends and family and continued to grow. I am easy going, active and very independent. Not married and no kids so I have a lot of free time! I’d love to help with a short stay, long stay or drop in/walk! 🐶🐱 FYI: I do not board pets in my home. I am not sure how to take that service/feature off of my profile. I apologize for the inconvenience! Pet care is part of my daily schedule, I take pride in it and love the companionship. If I didn’t have my animals, I’d be lost. Safety first. I will always go above and beyond for your pets, as if they were my own! Our pets are apart of our family.

About: I’ve been around dogs since age 10, I’ve slowly learned more about legitimate dog training since having my own dog. I prioritize dogs wellbeing over everything. I work from home on Mondays and most Fridays and usually leave the office around 4pm during the week days and am completely free during the weekends. Chat with me and we can work around your schedule and pup’s needs! I have one pup of my own in a small one bedroom apartment and for that reason do not allow in home boarding but if my pup is welcome in yours I am more than happy to stay in homes!


About: Hello! Thank you for taking a moment to view my profile. I am an experienced, compassionate pet sitter and I also have a degree as a Vet Tech, so you can be sure your pet will be in good hands. I have taken care of pets in my neighborhood for over 25 years now, and have many long-term clients. I enjoy long walks, running, playing, snuggling, you name it. I don't just show up and sit there. I have experience giving meds, changing bandages, and more as well, so if there's an extra step needed to ensure your pet is healthy and happy, I am able to assist. Why I love dog sitting I have had animals my whole life, grew up on a farm. I’ve been pet sitting for 25 years for a large variety of pets. I’m comfortable with all breeds, ages, and temperament. My experience administering medication Yes. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I have administered pills, shots, ointments, etc. I have worked in a traditional clinic setting as well as in some pretty remote locations in Mexico so I am well versed in a variety of meds and situations.

About: Every since I was young I would walk dogs for friends and family. Once I finally turned 18 I was able to work for a doggie daycare! Talk about dream come true! Hey pet parents! I’m currently on a pretty laid back schedule! I understand how important their needs are! I promise to always do my best when having your fur child/children under my care ❤️ (I also would like to mention that the rates are high because this app only gives a very small percent of what you pay) I don’t mind long walks, and trips to the park! Snuggles and movies work too 🩵 I can provide any needed service for your fur baby/ babies! (I also would like to mention that the rates are high because this app only gives a very small percent of what you pay)

“Laura did awesome! She was so quick to communicate, sent me photos every day, and let me know exactly how Sawyer was doing when she visited. I felt very comfortable having her check in on him and will definitely re-book with her in the future.”


About: Hi, my name is Megan. I have been volunteering at my local Humane Society, for over 2 years, so I’ve had lots of experience with so many different breeds of dogs! I enjoy all types of animals. Potty breaks I know are important along with tons of play time. I am able to learn/ adapt to your pets needs! All animals are wonderful in my eyes! Lots of pets and scratches, and belly rubs also included! I personally would love to be able to watch your pets. It’s my dream job I’d say! I’m very laidback, and have a calm personality . Also I’ll treat your pet as I would my very own. I work part time! So most days I am available to walk or watch your animals! Just message me to talk more about how I can care for your animal(s)! I would do anything for my animals. There is a fenced in big back yard! My 2 dogs love it. I keep my two dogs as healthy as possible! I love them like family.

“We had to cancel our booking at the last minute due to a change of plans on our part, but Megan is always spot on in her communication and care of our cats! Highly recommend her :)”


“Addie was wonderful. Very prompt and responsive in our communications. And I loved that she sent us a picture of Bandit letting us know that things went well. I would highly recommend her.”


About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I’ve been lucky to have such a wonderful soul pets. I’m also my church’s resident dogsitter, so I have a lot of experience with watching other people‘s pets. I do have a dog of my own, but he loves everything and everyone he meets! I’m currently working part time so will be at home and have a lot of time to spend with your pet. I have a dog of my own who loves everything and everyone he meets, so will be a great friend to your dog. I also have a cat who will be indifferent! I haven’t on fenced yard, but I do have inground leashes. I have a dog of my own that will be a great friend to your dog, and a cat that will be indifferent, lol! I also have a crate if that is needed.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes for years, and what sets me apart is the strong relationships I build with every pup I meet. I take the time to learn their personalities, needs, and preferences — whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy or giving extra patience and care to a senior dog. I’m great at sticking to routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or daily walks, and I know how important consistency is for a happy, stress-free pup. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening snuggles, I can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I love being able to dedicate time throughout my week to spend with animals and keep them happy, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, which is why I’m happy to come to your home so your pet can stay in their own familiar environment. This helps reduce stress and keeps their routine consistent. I always take the time to get to know each pet’s needs and personality, and I’m mindful of keeping their space clean, calm, and secure. Whether it’s following specific instructions or just giving extra cuddles, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.

About: Growing up, we always had animals in the house! I enjoy being around them, & giving them back the love & care they so selfishly show to us. I would LOVE to take care of yours while you’re away :) I work a full time job, but I am off most Tuesday afternoons, Fridays, and weekends. M-Th is usually busy for me, but beyond that I am open (with timely notice). I am more than willing to visit your house to take care of your pet and their needs! Whether that means playing with them indoors, or outdoors (no matter the conditions) I would be happy to. I currently do not offer pet sitting overnight in my household / yours, just due to my family’s current schedule.

“Lauren was very helpful, caring, punctual and was a great communicator for her drop in visits for my cat! She literally went the extra mile and walked up my snowy icy driveway when her car couldn’t make it up! My cat is a bit standoffish with new people, but he warmed up to her after just one visit! I will definitely be requesting Lauren to help out with my cat in the future!”

“We have an older dog that has hip issues, so we wanted her to be able to stay at home and not in a crate. Marlie is a very kind and responsible care giver. She updated us frequently with pictures and videos of our furry children and chickens. We have had a few bad experiences with house sitters not caring for our pets in the past. We could tell when we came home that they seemed anxious and stressed. With Marlie, we did not have that kind of homecoming. All the girls were happy, and our house was still clean and tidy like we left it. Marlie is the BEST!”

Madelyn B.
“I can't say enough good things about Maddie! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. My puppies took to her immediately, which says a lot- they can be shy around new people. While I was away, Maddie kept me updated with daily messages and adorable photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog who clearly had a great time.
