“Myka has been wonderful with our puppy— he has very nurturing and has a calming presence for my super energetic pup. He is responsive, reliable, and eager to help reinforce the puppy training we have started!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my mom worked as a dog sitter and trainer, so I grew up learning how to care for pets and build a strong, lasting, bond. I spent 5 years working at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for pups of every size, age, and personality – from playful puppies to gentle seniors to the lovable chaos gremlin. For the past 4 years, I’ve also been pet sitting on my own. Working from home, I’m able to be present throughout the day to keep pets company, give them attention, and stick to their routines. Dogs are my specialty, but I’ve also cared for cats, reptiles, and even chickens! I’m confident handling all kinds of critters and love getting to know each one’s unique quirks. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a snuggle buddy, or just someone who “gets” them, I’m your gal. GoodPup certified dog trainer. I'm available for visits whenever you need, day or night. Your pet(s) will get plenty of love, playtime, and care while you’re out, no matter the hour! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With my background in training and years of hands-on experience, I understand how important it is to build trust and create a secure environment. I take the time to connect with each pet so they feel safe, seen, and understood. I’m extremely mindful of safety protocols – doors and gates are always securely closed, even if I’m just stepping out for a moment. On walks, I use an extra leash for added security. I also never give treats unless they’re approved by you to avoid any upset tummies or allergic reactions.
“The service was really great, and I loved all the features of the app, will be using it agian. Kaitlyn was great, she was very responsive, took great photos, and provided me with updates.”
“We really like working with Kelley as our dog walker the last couple weeks. This was our first time using Rover and Kelley's come over almost daily to take our puppy on a walk while he's recovering from an illness. She's been great to work with! She's very communicative about their walks and i love that she takes pictures of him while they're out and about. I can tell she really has a passion for pets and truly cares deeply for them. Thank you Kelley!!”

I have a family that absolutely loves dogs and is thinking about adding another pup to our household and thought this would be a good way to see if it would be a good fit for our family! My husband and I and our four kids(13, 11, 6, 5) have had our current dog for 7 months and had adopted a rescue prior to that that we had for almost a year!

About: I’ve loved dogs as long as i can remember, I’ve been around dogs my whole life, had a Labrador Retriever growing up.

About: Hi, I'm Kayla!! I have loved and cared for animals my entire life, and I treat every single guest dog like a member of my own family. I live right here in Rosemount, providing a safe, attentive, and incredibly fun environment for your pup while you are away. Whether they love to sprint across the yard, go on long neighborhood walks, or just curl up on the couch for belly rubs, your dog will get the exact personalized care they need to feel right at home. I am extremely detailed when it comes to following your exact feeding schedules, bathroom routines, and crate preferences. I also have hands-on experience handling [ puppies under 1 year / senior dogs / administering oral medications ], so you can travel with absolute peace of mind. I know how tough it can be to leave your pet, which is why I prioritize clear communication. You can expect frequent photo and video updates throughout their stay so you can see exactly how much fun they are having! I would love to meet you and your pup—reach out today to schedule a Meet & Greet! 🐾 How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine 🐾 Because I manage my schedule carefully, your pets will receive consistent, predictable, and highly attentive care right on time. My weekly routine is designed to seamlessly accommodate the unique needs of both dogs and cats without rushing: • Morning Blocks (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM): I start my day by welcoming any Doggy Daycare guests and running my first round of morning cat drop-in visits. Pups get immediate outdoor bathroom breaks, fresh water, and breakfast according to your exact instructions. For kitties, I handle morning feedings, refresh water bowls, and scoop litters so they start their day fresh. • Mid-Day Breaks (11:00 AM – 2:00 PM): This is my peak window for active dog walking and mid-day drop-in visits. If your dog is staying with me for daycare or boarding, this is our dedicated backyard playtime block. If I am visiting your pet at your home, I arrive during these hours to break up their day with a solid 30-minute neighborhood walk, potty break, and lots of affection. • Evening Blocks (5:00 PM – 7:00 PM): This is wrap-up time! Daycare pups are picked up by their owners, and I conduct my second round of evening cat check-ins for dinner feedings. Boarding guests get their evening meals, followed by a wind-down routine of couch cuddles and a final yard let-out before bedtime. To keep your routine stress-free while you are away, I send a comprehensive daily update between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM featuring 3 to 4 high-quality photos and videos. This ensures you know exactly how much fun your pet is having without having to check your phone constantly! 🔒 Safety & Care Standards First Whether your pet is staying at my home or I am visiting yours, their safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a completely secure environment with strict supervision, separate feeding stations, and dedicated spaces for rest. If your pup is a runner, rest assured that doors and gates remain locked at all times. In your home, I treat your property with the utmost respect. I follow all security, key, and alarm protocols perfectly, ensuring your home is locked up tight after every visit. For cat drop-ins, litter boxes are scooped daily, and food areas are kept tidy. For dogs, walks are tracked securely via the app so you can see exactly where we traveled!

About: Hello there! My partner Andrew and I share a true love of animals, as well as traveling, and over the past 11 years we have offered our services as pet sitters and care-givers as a way to pursue 2 passions at once! We like to see it as a win-win for us and you, as we have used this platform and others as a way to both earn, and save money, while having meaningful experiences along the way. Having both grown up with animals and then having our own, as well as both being the eldest sibling of large families, has given us a lot of genuine experience. We are definitely what you would call "naturals". Animals not only like us but feel safe and comfortable with us. Our reputation and references are something we have worked hard for and consider of the utmost value. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to do this professionally and have had a great experience here on Rover, as well as via word of mouth. We have recently returned to Minnesota where I am from and once again offering ourselves up as dog walkers and house/pet sitters! I know leaving not only your pet but your house takes a lot of trust and so I would love to do whatever I can to assure you they are both safe. As you can see we have glowing reviews on Rover, and additionally, tons of glowing reviews on airbnb which I can provide a link to if you send us a booking request. I can think of no better way than to prove we are what we are what we believe ourselves to be, something we pride ourselves on being able to say, and shows the effort we have put into each sit/stay to take care of animals and homes as if they were our own. Some of the other things we do for work and are passionate about are: music, food service, teaching Spanish, writing, and instruments, child-care, coaching, and various outdoor activities. Please feel free to ask any questions and thank you for reading. Heather We are both working from home so are able to devote a lot of time to any animals we may be caring for. We are also very flexible and able to adapt to changes in scheduling. We are not currently able to host pets in our home but are able to accommodate any needs you or your pet may have in order to be and feel safe.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
