About: I've been an animal person for as long as I can remember! I've had animals in my life for all 40 years and have spent over 20 years working full-time in veterinary medicine as a licensed veterinary technician. I currently work in zoo medicine, which is truly a dream come true for me! My professional experience includes caring for animals of all species, from routine wellness and preventative care to complex medical cases requiring intensive, ICU-level care. I'm comfortable administering medications, monitoring medical conditions, and recognizing when something isn't right. While my professional background is in veterinary medicine, caring for animals has always been much more than a job to me. I genuinely love getting to know their individual personalities, making them feel comfortable, and giving them the same attention and affection I give my own pets. I have a soft spot for cats, but truly enjoy working with animals of all kinds, regardless of age, special needs, and species. :) I work Monday–Friday at the zoo from 8:00–4:30, so my availability is primarily outside of those hours and on weekends. I also have a 50/50 parenting schedule, with my kids on some weekday evenings after 6:00 and every other weekend. I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that meets your pet's needs. My children will not be present during pet-sitting visits unless you are comfortable with and specifically request that arrangement. I'm very mindful of my commitments and will only accept a booking if I know I can give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Reliability is really important to me, and I want you to feel confident that your pets are in good hands! I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and stick to their normal routines while their owners are away. I'm also happy to discuss special arrangements depending on your pet's needs. I love getting outside with dogs and am always up for a fun field trip to explore a new park or go for a special walk! As a certified veterinary technician with extensive animal care experience, safety and well-being are always priorities for me. I'm comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions, and keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. I treat every home with respect, keep pets' environments safe and clean, and believe communication is important. I'll happily send updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands!

About: I had a family dog growing up and I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter to walk dogs. I’ve always loved dogs and I will treat your dog like my own. My schedule is very flexible, I am currently looking for work so I am able to watch your dog anytime and stick to whatever routine you already have set! I’m happy to care for your dog in their environment where they feel safe and comfortable. Just let me know if there’s anything I need to know about your dog needs or schedule to ensure their comforts while you’re away.

About: Hi there! Animal lover here - and I can’t wait to care for yours. I have always had pets growing up, and got the rewarding opportunity to assist my family in training a puppy who later graduated into a service dog when I was younger. We also got the chance to house-sit different dogs throughout this program, including a poodle and a collie. As a family, we had three separate labrador retrievers and helped my parents raise an adorable Goldendoodle named Bentley! I’ve taken on the step-parent role to a 10 year old blue heeler and adopted a springer spaniel who is about 5 years old. Since joining Rover, I’ve cared for several animals of all different sizes and ages am eager to meet new friends and assist in any way possible. I am currently working from home, so can easily fit your dogs needs into my schedule! I am available during the weekdays, and some weekends. We have a fenced in yard, and will keep a close eye on pets. Having 2 dogs ourselves, we make sure anything harmful is out of reach, and the dogs are safe.

About: I've had dogs and cats all my life growing up. I've owned everything from brand new puppies to rescues. As an adult, my friends, family, and coworkers trust me to watch their pets when they go out of town. I am also currently employed at a doggy daycare and have had to go through over 10 hours of training modules. I love to travel around the cities, I have lots of time during evenings and weekends. I look forward to helping you with all of your pet needs. I will provide the best care for your pet as possible. I will treat them like I treat my own pets. They will be very loved and cared for.

About: I grew up raising cattle, goats, and horses. I have had pet dogs, cats, and fish all my life. I was a vet tech in my early twenties, and a milk goat and chicken owner in my thirties. My family and I currently live with and care for a dog, cats, and an indoor rabbit. I went through the AKC good citizen training with our current dog, and use only positive behavior strategies. I love all animals, and love to house sit and pet sit for friends and family. I am an elementary special education teacher and currently have the time to pet and house sit for more families in order to make extra income for my kids’ college fund. I am also a master gardener and love caring for plants as well as pets! I am an elementary special education teacher, so I have an open schedule during the summer, weekends, and holidays. I am able to give your pet the time and attention it deserves. I treat my pets as important and treasured members of the family. I promise to treat your pets the same as I treat mine. I take pet sitting very seriously, and will do my very best to make sure your family member is getting lots of love and attention and living its best life while you are away. I know I would want the same in a pet sitter!

“Ketzia has done an excellent job with our dogs. She is caring and conscientious and the boys really appreciate her visits!”

Troy H.

“Ashley has given me such peace of mind about having to leave my dog Max at home now that I'm commuting to work again. She visited us the evening before their walks began, and was so relaxed and patient with him that I knew he'd have a great time with her. The pictures and summaries she sent of the walks were an extra way I could tell that all was well. I couldn't be happier! Thank you, Ashley!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have over 30 years of experience caring for family pets. Feeding, walking, playing, and giving them lots of love has always been a natural part of my life. We don’t have any pets of our own right now, so we’re excited for the opportunity to love on and care for other people’s pets! Every pet is unique, and I’ll make sure yours feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your furry family member like one of my own. We are business owners and a homeschool family with 4 animal loving kids without any pets of our own right now- we would love the opportunity to love on your pets when you can't! We have a mostly fenced in yard and a walking path! We enjoy being active and always choose pet friendly locations wherever we go! Our goal is to keep your pet feeling loved and safe when in our care! If you're open to children tagging along & your pup is comfortable with us we would love make this a family venture, but understand if that doesn't make sense for you!

“Carolyn, does a great job. Emma loves her a bunch, is very happy to see her each time she comes to walk Emma. Carolyn is good at communicating about what is going on.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, including senior pets. I provide walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, overnight care, and personalized attention. Pet care is an important part of my weekly routine.

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.

About: Been taking care of animals since I was a little kid. Dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, hamsters, snakes, turtles, pet fish. Eventually I hope to open a bigger home boarding practice ❤️ They will spending with me while I work from my room. After work will be park time. They will be walked at least once a day, if not more. 😊👍 Currently I live in a condominium, there is a small dog park right outside the complex. Nice trails for walks and exercise. I also am able to trim your dog's hair upon request. 😊👍

About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional experience and a lifetime of hands-on pet care. I spent over three years working in a dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also worked as a pet store manager, which gave me valuable experience with animal behavior, care, and overall pet wellness. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior needing extra attention, I provide patient, personalized care tailored to them. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home most days, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I only go into the office one day per week, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most pets’ routines and needs. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quality one-on-one attention into my day. Whether your pet prefers an active day or a quiet companion nearby, I can provide a comfortable and consistent environment while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any other specific care requests. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and mental stimulation based on their individual needs and personality. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, so I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I bring a strong foundation of trust, safety, and attentiveness from my background in law enforcement, along with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy, working breeds that require structure and engagement, to puppies needing patience and consistency, as well as older dogs who benefit from a calmer, attentive approach. I have experience with basic obedience reinforcement, leash handling, and reading canine behavior to ensure safe, positive interactions at all times. I’m also knowledgeable in pet safety and emergency awareness, with training that supports quick, calm decision-making if needed. As someone who prioritizes physical health and an active lifestyle, I enjoy providing dogs with the exercise, stimulation, and attention they need to stay happy and well-balanced. Whether your dog needs structured walks, playtime, or just reliable, loving care while you’re away, I’m confident and comfortable handling it all. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I’m typically available from the early morning through the evening, with the most flexibility during daytime hours. Because my schedule is adaptable, I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine—whether that means an early-morning walk, a midday check-in, feeding, playtime, or evening care. I’m open to adjusting my availability when needed and working with owners to find a schedule that best fits their pets’ needs. My goal is to make pet care feel consistent, reliable, and stress-free for both you and your pet while you’re away. As a former law enforcement officer, safety, responsibility, and trust have always been at the heart of what I do. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving both your pet and your home in someone else’s care—and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. When caring for your pet, I treat your home with the same respect and attention to detail I would expect in my own. I’m mindful of doors, gates, alarms, keys, access points, and anything else that helps keep your home secure while you’re away. I’m also attentive to your pet’s surroundings and routines to help prevent accidents, escapes, or anything that could put them at risk. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I take the time to understand their personality, routines, needs, and boundaries rather than treating every pet the same. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, needs extra patience, is shy around new people, or simply wants some companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pet is receiving attentive, dependable care—and that your home is being treated with the same level of respect and responsibility. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, and communication throughout the visit so you never have to wonder how things are going. My goal is for you to feel confident and reassured from the moment you hand over the leash to the moment you walk back through your door.

“Noelle was great with my two dogs! Looking forward to having her watch them in July!”

About: Hi, my name is Mark. I love meeting people's pets of all kinds. I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I also have a master's degree in behavioral science. My combination of lived experience and knowledge of behavioral science uniquely equips me to care for your animals in a kind and gentle manner, while still being responsible and reliable. These skills prepare me to help relax and de-escalate with anxious animals. I have a job which is flexible with my schedule, including working from home and choosing my own hours, which allows me more time with pets! I have a back yard with a fence that my senior dog can play in, as well as many parks nearby my home in Roseville.

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.
