About: I’m recently unemployed and looking to get my steps in and earn some dollar tree money! I have experience running a BOOMING neighborhood dog walking business in the 90s! Also the proud owner of 1 Bombay cat. Not much specialized experience, but wide open availability to help at run of the mill drop ins and/or walks. Hope to meet you! Newly unemployed, so availability is quite literally wide open! I would like to avoid far drives. Would love some weekly walking jobs (rather, my fitness app would love) I will follow your instructions and treat your family members how I treat my own! I am not well versed with special care but am willing to try and learn
About: I genuinely love animals and provide dependable, compassionate care. From playful puppies to senior pets, I bring patience, energy, and plenty of love to every pet I care for. Pet care is a natural part of my life. I love spending time with my pets and sharing outdoor adventures with them. I bring that same attentive, loving care to every pet I look after. I prioritize every pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being. I provide attentive care, exercise, playtime, consistent routines, and medication when needed. With two energetic dogs of my own, I know how important patience, affection, and enrichment are. We love camping, exploring dog parks, and taking long walks and I bring that same energy and care to every pet I look after.

About: I live in Columbia Heights with my dog, Oso, my cat, Syd, an Angora bunny & five chickens! With such a full house, I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of pets, each with their own unique needs and personalities. I’ve always loved helping people and being able to do that by giving their furry family members the love, attention, and care they deserve is extra special to me. I use Rover myself when I travel, so I know how reassuring it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets while you’re away. I’m a real estate photographer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Whether your pet needs a quick check in, a long walk, or some extra love and attention, I’d be happy to help! Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to meet you and your pets! 🐾 I work as a real estate photographer, which gives me a flexible and ever changing schedule. I often have gaps between shoots throughout the day, making it easy for me to fit in pet check ins, walks, and quality time with animals. The variety in my schedule allows me to be flexible and dependable while still giving pets the attention and care they need. While I don’t currently offer in home boarding because I have a variety of pets of my own, I absolutely love providing care in a pet’s home where they feel most comfortable and at ease. When caring for your pets, my goal is to treat them like they’re my own while respecting the routines, preferences, and instructions you’ve established for them. I’ll follow your lead on everything from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, cuddles, and any special care they may need. I genuinely love animals and find so much joy in getting to know their personalities, keeping them happy and comfortable, and making sure they feel loved while you’re away. Whether that means an energetic play session, a relaxing walk, or simply some extra attention and companionship, I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of care, patience, and affection!
About: Hi! My name is Abby, and I would love to be your pet sitter! I’m located in Fridley, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet after we’ve chatted and gotten all the details squared away. I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I previously ran a guinea pig foster-based rescue and have also worked at a doggy daycare and a veterinary hospital, where I cared for boarding, grooming, and surgery patients as a kennel assistant. I’ve also worked as a technician assistant and receptionist at North Branch Vet. These experiences have given me not only hands-on animal care experience, but also a strong understanding of how to recognize and respond to individual animals’ needs. I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chickens, hamsters, and many other companion animals. I genuinely enjoy caring for all kinds of pets and love learning about new animals, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have a more unique pet! I’m especially comfortable reading canine body language, working with dogs who may be anxious, and adjusting my approach to fit each dog’s personality. I’m happy to care for dogs of all ages, although I know puppies can require a little extra time and attention. Whether your pet simply needs some company, regular potty breaks, and a little TLC, or you’d like someone to keep them active and entertained, I’m happy to accommodate their routine. I love having fun with animals and getting to know their individual personalities. I have plenty of experience with my own pets, including my Australian Shepherd, Winnie; Great Dane, Reuben; Maine Coon, Juneau; and Manx cat, Turkey. I’ve also had plenty of experience caring for guinea pigs through my rescue and previous personal pets. Although cats may be very different from dogs, I have just as much experience and intuition when it comes to caring for them. Having two cats of my own, I understand how much their personalities and needs can vary, and I’m comfortable giving them the patience, space, and attention they need to feel comfortable. If your dog is friendly with other dogs, I’d also love to bring my Great Dane, Reuben, along for overnight bookings. He would be thrilled to have a new friend to play with and keep company! I’m excited to get to know you and your pet and would love the opportunity to help care for them. Please feel free to request me anytime, I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Your booking is priority one, and is always completed before other work is done. If you are requesting house sitting, I’ll be with your pet until I have to leave to briefly care for my own pets. If your dog is well behaved, I would have no problem bringing them along with me when I run around town. If you are requesting drop in visits or dog walking, I will be able to attend your home whenever you book me. I’m available throughout the day, up until 10pm. I will be sure your pet is always in sight when going outside, or always on a leash if you do not have a fenced yard. I will take precautions to make sure your animals do not escape when I am entering or exiting the house by being aware of their presence when opening or shutting doors, or making sure to block their potential exits when I am entering or exiting. I will be sure to secure any cages, kennels or enclosures, along with your residence when I leave for any reason, assuring neither your pet will be safe while alone while also not getting into mischief.

About: I bring a calm energy and genuine love for each and every dog especially when I have a very hyper/social pug at home. I’m very patient, which helps especially shy or anxious ones—feel relaxed and secure. I focus on routines, attentive to behavior, and keeping your pets comfortable. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to providing loving, consistent care that pet owners can trust. Since moving to Minneapolis and currently having some free time. I have dedicated my time/availability to pet care and sitting at any day and time! For clients home I provide consistent, attentive pet sitting by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, daily walks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship to keep pets calm and comfortable in their own environment. I also administer medication if needed, monitor behavior for any changes, and ensure water bowls are always fresh and full. I keep the home tidy by cleaning up after pets and respecting your space. Regular updates with photos and messages help keep owners reassured while they’re away.
About: I’ve taken in many animals in need and got them supplies and environments they needed. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, bearded dragons, sugar gliders, turtles, and snakes in my past. I currently have two cats and one dog. I work from home so I can make some times others can’t due to working out of the home. I’m not always busy on the weekends and can help take care of your fur/non fur babies. Water, walks, bathroom needs, feeding, and some medicine applications. I like to give lots of cuddles to animas who want it and I typically leave shy animas alone unless I am approached. Always start with hand sniffs before applying pets.

About: I have a deep love for animals and truly enjoy the process of connecting with them. For me, it’s more than just "watching" a pet; I love learning about their unique personalities, specific traits, and individual needs to ensure they feel safe and happy while their owners are away. PS - If you are wanting a house sit it is just me and not Thomas since we live in different areas now. Unfortunately we got an update from our housing authority (in Minneapolis) that we aren't supposed to have dogs 50 lb or more in the condo, so we can not accept bigger dogs unless its for a short duration. Thomas is a homebody and just goes into his art studio for a couple of hours in St Paul Mon-Fri. His hours are very flexible usually from 11:30am-3pm and can be less if needed to be home with a pet. My schedule is also flexible as I do online sales. I put my clients needs first! Ultimately I'm working for you so I want your cares and concerns to be met. I am very happy to use your toys to play with your pet as well as pamper them. Give them just enough attention and space to warm up to me. Let me know if your pets have any dietary needs. I have experience taking care of pets with seizures as well and giving their medicine in with their daily meals.
About: I have had my own dog since I was 4. I also have been a dog sitter for many of my neighbors for years. I have experience with frequent visits during the day and overnight sitting. I’ve also had experience with special conditions such as giving medication and caring for pets who are ill. For example, my dog needs ear drops and allergy medication, so I have experience with those types of medication specifically. I also have experience cat sitting and caring for other pets, like small rodents or snakes. Currently I am working full time, hybrid, with two days in the office. I’m available for visits during the mornings and afternoons/nights during the week or weekend. I will be more available during the holiday season as well and can sit for an extended period of time if you are on vacation. I have a cat at home so I cannot provide home services, but I am available for house sitting! I have done many extended stays and have the luxury of working from home, so if your pet needs to stick to their schedule, I can be there.

About: I’ve grown up with animals in the house and on the farm my entire life, from small dachshunds to chow chows to large hunting labs. We’ve had very rascal puppies, young high energy dogs, and very senior dogs on medications and needing special attention. I’ve house sat all sizes of dogs, from terriers and corgis to golden retrievers, as well as cats, both friendly and standoff-ish. Growing up with animals in the house, I know firsthand that pets aren’t pets, they are family, you love them dearly, when they get sick you clean up after them, and they make the world go round. I love pets that are very involved with everyday life (see my photos) of pets “helping” with homework, regular walks and play time, and bedtime snuggles, as well as pets that are in their own world and coexistence works best. I work full-time outside the house, M-F, so I’m mainly looking for weekends and overnights. I’m able to check-in on my lunch breaks when needed, and happy to do so. I grew up in the country and our dogs roamed free, while most animals that I’ve house sat have fenced in yards, so regular walks and active play is necessary. I’m used to animals both being left to roam the house or be crated during the day. I’m a pretty active person and my animals are active parts of my life, so if your pet enjoys people and is able-bodied, we’ll probably be going on lots of walks, finding nearby parks, eating meals together, and snuggling up to watch a movie. No one is allowed to meet your animal unless there is prior approval, especially no other animals unless yours is friendly and willing. I (unfortunately) have experience with animals getting sick, jumping a fence and going for a run, and unfriendly dogs coming close. I recognize these are all unwanted, however very possible, and having experience navigating and handling these often stressful situations, is needed to keep your animal safe and comfortable. I take every precaution to mitigate these risks, and have learned from my own animals and their mischievery.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats as a service since 2016. Every animal is different so I enjoy speaking with the owners beforehand and getting to bond with critters that are different than mine. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes and love caring for cats. I have cared for Guinea Pigs, chickens, pigs, goats, sheep and cattle as well. Farm sitting outside of the Twin Cities area available on weekends only ( Fri.pm-Sun afternoon). Weekly stays available only in Minneapolis due to full-time employment. I’m available weekends for walks and animal care. I’m a full-time employee so weekday evening walks after 5pm work best for my schedule. Previously, I have stayed overnight to keep the in home animals company and keep the house safe while folks are away. I can clean and bring in the mail. Whatever your expectations are I am happy to accommodate.
About: I work at pet hospital as a veterinary assistant now. I have 1 large dog which is Alaskan malamute, 1 medium sized dog Shiba Inu and 3 cats which are British shorthair, ragdoll and domestic cat. I am professional at taking care of them. I majored in animal science working on pre veterinary programs at the University of Minnesota twin cities. I can do basic wellness check for pets. I used to help my friends taking care of their dogs including walking two dogs together, feed and bath. I’m basically free every day. I love all kinds of animals and play with them and I believe I can provide great care for them I have a huge basement and first floor for my pets to play in the house and he is well trained by me as an ESA dog. My cats are very sweet. I’m good at getting along with pets. Even my Guinea pig is friendly to humans and petable

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 8 or 9, mostly family dogs to start. I have also house sat for not only family dogs but friends as well. I work at a doggie daycare facility currently, so I am familiar with dog behaviors and care. I currently work full-time in evenings, so that gives plenty of morning time for walks and cuddles. I am available for both boarding and daily care most of my week and always try to be flexible with clients. I love to have animals be as comfortable as they can be in their owners home, whatever that might look like. My goal is to make the clients and dogs as comfortable as possibly while building trust and good relationship.

About: Hi! My names Priscilla and I’m looking for some extra cash while doing something I love. I’ve been walking dogs for a bit and otherwise have spent my entire life around all types of creatures from fish to guinea pigs to horses! My dear childhood cat, Swiper, passed January 2025 after having him for 14ish years (since I was three!) He was an orange cat (if you know you know 😅) and we had many other cats when I was growing up. We’ve had my dog for eight years, since he was a puppy! Chubbs is a very energetic, quirky Dudley Lab who has given me TONS of walking experience. From both him and other dogs, I have much experience with large, high-energy pullers with many triggers and quirks. My number one priority is making your furry friend feel safe, cared for, and loved, and I can easily adapt to any pets needs—I’ve been around animals with all types of triggers and quirks, from puppies and kittens to seniors. I truly hold so much love for animals and whether it’s giving your dog a good walk, checking on your babies or keeping them company while you’re away I’d be honored to care for your furry friend! 💗 I just finished high school a few months ago and am taking a gap year while I figure out what I want to do, and I’m currently not working so my availability is wide open! I’m pretty much always available and looking for last minute walks or drop in’s. Shoot me a message and I’m sure we can work something out! Safety is my number one priority, for both me and your furry friend! Please let me know if your fur baby has any special needs, triggers, quirks, allergies, or dietary needs. I can easily accommodate to different pets needs and circumstances to make the entire experience (whether walks/sitting) safer and easier for them!
About: I have always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs. I have over 17 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I have extensive experience caring for older dogs. I love taking long walks with my furry friends. I can administer medication and cater to most special needs. Dogs bring me so much joy and my goal is to reciprocate as much unconditional love as possible. I am usually available Friday through Monday, and Tuesday through Thursday in the afternoons or evenings only. I have a pretty flexible work from home schedule on Monday and Friday which allows for drop ins or walks during the day. I have a fenced in yard that is nice for quick potty breaks and live in a very walkable neighborhood. I can crate your dog if needed, but I am usually around to spend as much time as possible with your pup.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Brighton
Elizabeth is reliable, personable, and an excellent communicator. We really appreciated Elizabeth’s daily summaries and we highly recommend her! It was helpful to have a brief meeting with her and our dog in advance of the week to discuss our needs and see how they interacted with each other.
Anna is so patient and kind! She literally goes the extra mile. I have a couple of rescue dogs that are still in the process of learning better leash manners and she’s giving me good, honest reports. She’s also not letting them get away with too many shenanigans! I appreciate her hard work and dedication.
