“Outstanding care of my two cats, and on only a few days notice as well. Both are quite shy, but she got them to come out, play, and be petted. I would not hesitate to use her services again!”

“I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that Jennifer was there to take care of my boyz. She was punctual even though she didn’t need to be and sent me lots of pics which set my mind at ease. She even brought in a package for me so it wouldn’t get stolen. Super easy to work with. Will definitely be asking for her help again! Thanks Jennifer :)”

“Tina is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of my two cats, who are so sweet but also high maintenance and she did so well! They both had accidents and she cleaned them, plus set up treats and puzzles for them which I appreciated so much. I am most definitely reaching out anytime I need a sitter, thank you Tina!”

“Rachel was amazing with our dog and two cats. You can tell right away how much she truly cares about animals. Our dog got all the exercise and attention she needs, and our cats were happy and relaxed. Rachel was great about checking in and sending photos, which we really appreciated — it made being away so much easier. We felt totally comfortable knowing our pets were in such good hands. They all love her, and we would absolutely book with her again.”

About: I have had both cats and dogs all of my life. I have raised 2 litters of kittens, I have raised 2 puppies including fostering one. I have spent the last 2 years caring for my senior cat who needed extensive medication administration and monitoring daily; she also needed a special diet and many vet and urgent care visits. I have owned a variety of animals from a Snow Bengal, house cats, cocker spaniel, golden retriever, German shepherd, terrier mix, ferrets, and bunnies. I raised my cocker spaniel from a puppy and trained him. I do not currently have any animals. I live in a very quiet manor home with a walking path in my backyard. I absolutely love animals, and I hope to live yours while you are away. I currently work full time, M-F 8-4. I am close to home and can come home during my lunch break if needed. I spend my time home when I have a pet, ensuring it is receiving the attention it needs while you are away. I love to spend time outside hiking, biking, and hammocking. I live in a manor home and have a second floor balcony which is entirely surrounded by chicken wire. If you have a cat who likes to be outside, they can safely enjoy the sun there-only with your approval. I can walk animals, take them outside for the bathroom as needed. I am happy to take your dog to the dog park if you would like. My place has a secure entry, with 2 doors.

About: I've loved animals all my life. I got my first puppy when I was about 13 years old, full of pre-teen enthusiasm for learning all about dog behavior and puppy training strategies. Now that my own beloved dog is no longer with us, I've found myself wishing I had more opportunities to connect with animals on a regular basis. I've taken every chance I could to pet sit for friends and acquaintances over the years, but recently I realized that I could also be using Rover to make pet care a more regular part of my life! Since I'm also meant to share something here that makes me "stand out" as a sitter, I'll say that animals do tend to feel particularly safe and relaxed around me. If I were to take a guess as to why that is, I think I would say that it's probably a combination of: 1) genuinely loving pets and wanting to have a positive interaction with them, 2) not bringing anxious energy into the room, which I think is something that most pets can sense, and 3) knowing enough about animal behavior to not escalate any existing anxieties or aggression. As someone who has had a beloved pet, I know how important it is to find someone to care for your pet that you can trust to accommodate their particular needs, and to create a safe, happy environment for them while you're away. If you'll trust me to be that person, then nothing would make me happier than to give your pet an amazing visit, walk, or staycation! I work full time (8 hours M-F) in Arden Hills, but I have a fairly flexible work schedule. My preference for pet care would be to mostly fit it in before and after work (my hours can usually be adjusted based on a pet's daily schedule), but I also have the flexibility to pop out for short walks in the middle of the day, if needed. I can also work from home if absolutely necessary, but I would not wish to do that frequently. I am not able to host pets in my home at this time, but if I can come and care for your pets at their own home, I am happy to follow whatever instructions you give for how to make your pet feel happy and safe and cared for during your absence! I am a careful instruction follower, so I will refer back to any information you can give me about what your pet is accustomed to when you are home, and how you would like me to care for them when you're gone. If you feel nervous at all about leaving them, I'm also more than happy to send regular updates to you about how they are doing!

About: With over 25 years of dedicated pet care experience, combining a deep passion for animals with unparalleled expertise. Specializing in dogs of all breeds and sizes, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. From daily walks to overnight stays, your furry family members receive the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. Reliable, professional pet sitting and walking services that keep tails wagging and owners at ease. Our Home & Yard: Pups who stay with us get to enjoy a spacious lakeside backyard with plenty of room to run, sniff, explore, and relax. 🌿🐾 The yard is partially fenced, with an opening for lake access, so all outdoor time is fully supervised. There are shady spots for downtime between play sessions. In the summer months, dogs can swim in the lake (with owner permission only). Just let us know if your pup is a swimmer and has your OK to go in. Although I will be the primary care taker, my wife and I work from home full time Monday through Friday. We love to spend our free time taking care of our sweet boy Koda who is a 5 year old labradoodle. He gets along great with other dogs and loves friends. I have a home in a quiet community which is fenced. This allows the dogs to run freely outside for potty breaks and exercise for the pups.

“Rebecca was great with my dogs! She came to meet them beforehand and was really sweet with them. She was also very responsive and flexible with meeting times!”

About: My dogs have always been very high needs growing up, so I have a lot of experience working with different diets, medications, and needs. I'm an athlete, so I can take them out for long periods of time to get exercise as needed, which can be really helpful for hyperactive dogs who have to be cooped up during the day. I'm also entirely capable of caring for senior dogs, I can take things at their pace and make sure they're comfortable and happy. I am currently a full time college student, but I have a lot of open time either between classes or after them. I commute to the Twin Cities from the suburbs, so I can easily travel wherever I am needed to be able to check in on or take care of your furry friends. Being in the cities with my own car I can take dogs out for walks around the lakes or down some of the trails nearby so they (and I) can get some proper exercise before my classes. When caring for pets, I always make sure they are getting plenty of time to move around, especially if I'm just dropping in to check on them, but regardless of the need. I like to keep a checklist of what I need to get done, as well as just having a bit of time to play with or pet them. I can take pets out for walks on foot or with my roller skates, which lets me go longer distances with them. I make sure to clean up any messes I might make, putting everything back as I found it and keeping things nice and tidy for when you get home again. I'm confident staying in new places, and can make sure everything stays safe in your home or space during my time there.

“They were great!!! Understood my cats illness and communicated clearly and precisely everyday on their visit. Spent time for extra pets in my cats favorite areas and changed the items/feeding amounts when asked. Will definitely book again!!!!!”

About: Im a proud cat mom to two beautiful Scottish cats, As a cat parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your babies while you’re away. I know that feeling of wanting them to be safe, comfortable, loved, and not feel alone. That’s one of the reasons I decided to become a cat sitter. I understand how much our cats mean to us because mine are family too. When I visit your home, I’ll make sure your babies receive plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles (if they want them!), fresh food and water, and lots of love. My goal is not just to check on your cats, but to spend quality time with them so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved until you return home. I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family members are in kind and caring hands. From one cat parent to another, I promise to treat your babies like they’re my own. ❤️🐾 I am working full time but i would be glad to help out pet owners with their fur babies, like walking their dogs, pet sit We are a pet friendly family, no other pets at home although we have no fence yard - so, i would just gladly take cats and or visit your home, walk dog as well.

“Shawntil took great care of Ozzy while I was away! She stayed with him and made sure to send me updates and pictures of him. I could tell that Ozzy was very much well cared for. Shawntil also left my apartment clean. I am grateful that Ozzy was in great hands while I was gone as he is a very affectionate cat who loves attention!”

“Helen was so sweet from the moment we met, and very on top of things. She not only took great care of our five cats, but also my many plants. The cats took to her instantly and we were able to vacation without any worries because Helen frequently updated us and sent us pictures all the time.”

About: Life-long crazy dog lady. I will spoil your pooch (or kitty) with attention, pets, walks, and playtime. I have experience with timid and defensive animals, and I can give your fur-baby as much (or as little) space as they need. I have flexible work hours which allow me to be home a few days a week. Otherwise, I only leave the house to go to the gym and the grocery store. While I generally consider myself a night owl, I am happy to accommodate for morning walks and feeding schedules. I have experience dealing with runners, biters, barkers, food-hoarders, and everything in between. I never go to off leash dog parks. I’ve been carrying pepper spray on walks since my dog and I were attacked by another dog on a walk- I don’t wear sound blocking headphones to stay aware of my surroundings. Responsible pet ownership is my jam!
