“Julia has been a huge help for me whenever I am out of town! She always takes great care of my cat Bella and is sure to send pictures and a note. I feel confident that my cat is in good hands with Julia. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Tracy was absolutely delightful! During our initial visit she was very thorough - taking notes on personality and play habits along with the basics of care. By the end of the visit I felt like we were old friends. I loved the videos of our cats. They're skittish and seemed much more at ease with her than I expected for the first time having her watch them. I very much look forward to working with her in the future! Thank you Tracy!! 💖”
“Bonnie was great with our two black cats! She could even tell them apart! Made sure they ate, had some play time, and some cuddles during her drop ins. Lots of pics and notes about each visit. Highly recommend!”
“Heather’s dedication to caring for animals speaks volumes. She’s running a high-end, professional animal care service and you can feel the utmost comfort in her care.”
“Mikayla did an amazing job taking care of our cat while we were gone for 10 days! We had her stop by twice a day due to our cat’s medication needs. She always sent updates with pictures and was diligent about making sure there was enough water and the litter box was clean. We were confident our cat was in good hands. She even went above and beyond by taking out the trash and refilling the bowls we use to pre-measure our cat’s food portions. Plus, she left some treats for both our cat and us! We would 100% recommend Mikayla and will look to book her the next time we go out of town!”
“Rachel was absolutely fantastic. She did exactly what we asked…and more! Great communication and response time. Knowing she was taking care of our kitties made it possible to enjoy our vacation even more. If we ever need a pet sitter again, Rachel will be our first choice.”
About: I have been a dog owner/carer since I was young, and as an adult I have owned many dogs. My dogs are like my children and I have only ever used Rover for their care, which is why I know I would make a great sitter. I am retired, live an active lifestyle and have a pup who will be 2 in June 2025. We walk at least twice a day and hit the dog park for extra exercise. I am retired and can make anything work, including early morning dropoffs, late night pickups, plenty of potty breaks and walks. Also any number of drop ins to your home. I do charge an extra $30 for any booking request within 24 hours of a sit, as I may need to rearrange my schedule. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a decent front and side yard. The local walking path and park is just a block away. I can offer one portable crate if needed. My own pet stays in a crate at night and when I am away. I have a gate to the stairs and she is not upstairs.
“Elyse was very thorough and flexible! When I had some weather delays, she worked to adjust the schedule and helped me care for my pet while I was away. She left very thorough descriptions and followed all my care instructions. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Dylan and Kayla did an excellent job meeting my kitties where they were at and allowing them to get comfortable with them in their own time. They are reliable, responsive and absolutely love the cats.”
“Em did such a great job taking care of our Norman. He loved visiting with her and she did an awesome job with sending us daily updates and pictures. Will definitely go with her again!”
About: I currently have a 2.5 y/o Aussie mix, he’s energetic so fun and has taught me so much! We go on walks, have puppy play dates, he takes training classes and enjoys cuddles! I have the experience of dog sitting, growing up with pups, and working at Chuck & Dons. Service Areas: • Mornings: Inver Grove Heights & nearby • Midday: Apple Valley • Evenings (limited): By request Can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐾 How I Care for Pets in Their Home: When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to keep everything consistent with their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I always: • Follow your feeding, potty, and medication schedule exactly as instructed • Make sure they have fresh water at every visit • Provide walks, playtime, and/or cuddle time based on their needs and energy level • Keep their space clean — picking up waste, wiping paws if needed, and tidying food/water areas • Send detailed updates and photos so you know exactly how they’re doing How I Care for Pets in My Home: (Currently, I do not board pets in my home — all services are done in your pet’s own familiar environment.
“My cat and I couldn’t have had a more positive experience with Jennifer! Albert seemed to have really enjoyed his stay. I will definitely be using her services in the future! I’m sure if Albert had a say he would choose her too!”
About: I'm an all-around animal lover and always have been. I grew up with dogs, bunnies, birds, turtles, guinea pigs and even had a snake. I currently am a fur-mom to Miley, a high-energy Rotty mix who has taught me how to handle dog-reactive dogs in many situations. I'm also fur-mom to Bubbles, my little holland lop love nugget. My time is flexible, as this is currently my only job. Care depends on your pets usual or desired schedule, and we go from there! I prefer to care for pets in your home for their comfort and safety, so they have an easier time getting to know me while surrounded by familiar things and routines. I can simply stop by for mid-day exercise and play sessions, walks, pickup and take to the park, or even do overnights that include some house sitting duties if thats what you need! And of course, I always make sure to send a reasonable amount of photos and/or text updates during your pets time with me :)
