“Lynn was fantastic! She was extremely friendly, on time, and her communication skills were on point. She made sure to ask all the right questions before hand so Queenie’s needs were met. She sent photos and videos throughout the day. Definitely rebooking anytime we need someone to sit Queenie again!”

“Beth was amazing! She was very accommodating to our flight and meet up times! We loved seeing all the pictures and videos she sent us, keeping us updated on our pets while we were away. She was very respectful of our property and we definitely recommend her! Thanks again Beth! We appreciate you!”

“Mallory was great to work with. She was very responsive with communication, offered a meet and greet with myself and my animals, and sent a lot of photos of them when I was gone. I would 100% hire her again to care for my animals!”

“Ally was a great asset to us and did a long stay with our two doxies. She was very easy to communicate with and gave daily updates. She cares greatly about the pets and we would love to work with her again.”


About: Been around all kinds of animals since I was a kid, I have always had a knack for taking care of them and they warm up to me very quickly. Im in Minnesota temporarily and have plenty of free time to walk dogs, housesit for dogs or cats, or anything else! I have a very open schedule right now. I can handle any pet related task ive done it all before, dogs can be walked or house sat. Or if you have cats litter boxes can be cleaned and trash taken out!
About: I’ve had dogs growing up my whole life. I currently have 2 beautiful babies that I love very much. I know how to care for all types of dogs, young or old. I work from 6-2:30 everyday so your pet wouldn’t be alone for too long. I am available everyday for as many days as you need. I am very cautious when it comes to watching other people’s dogs in their home. I will treat the dog and the home with much respect and abide by all rules you have.
“Katherine is the best pet sitter!! She stays at my house and I know that my pets are taken care of. I get photos several times during her stay. She deserves 5 stars I would give her ten if I could!!”

About: “I’m experienced and confident in caring for both dogs and cats, including walking, feeding, and maintaining a clean and safe environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether it’s an active dog or a shy or independent cat. I’m reliable, responsible, and focused on making sure every pet feels comfortable and well cared for.” Friendly) “I currently work full-time at Great Clips, but I have enough flexibility in my schedule to take on pet care responsibilities. I enjoy staying active, so dog walking and pet visits fit naturally into my daily routine, and I always make sure I have the time to give each pet proper care and attention.” “I adjust my care based on the specific service, but I always prioritize safety, trust, and a positive environment. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and care instructions, keep spaces clean, and ensure pets are always supervised and secure. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, and I focus on creating a calm, stress-free experience for their pets.”
About: I have grown up my whole life around animals. When I was younger, I had smaller animals like hamsters and rats. In high school, my dad did get an English bulldog and he was my best friend! When we first brought him home, I took him to training and I loved every second of it! I would watch him almost every weekend for my parents. My sister also had a dog, her and I worked opposite schedules so I would take care of him during the day. I also took him through training as a puppy. So if you have a puppy and want them to learn a thing or two I can help! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats with my boyfriend. So I really understand how much your fur baby’s mean to you as I have some at home! I am working part time and looking for something to do with my other time! I’m available all day Wednesdays, Fridays after 2pm and just about every weekend! Something that I live by is treating others animals like your own! I am also very big on respect. Letting me into your home to take care of your fur baby’s means a lot to me. I love to just hang out with furry friends or go play outside, which ever you need from me I will do! I really would like to make sure you and your animals can trust me! Whether you have cameras in your home or need a check in hourly, I’m willing to do whatever you need to trust me in your home. Having that trust bond can really make or break a sitter! Besides trust I also value on making sure your animal is safe.
“Britny is my first Rover house and dog sitter experience and she did not disappoint. After recently losing my husband, I was nervous about having a stranger look after my 5 dogs and be in my home for a few days while I was traveling. Britny scheduled a meet-and-greet to discuss the scope of the house and dog sitting needs to assure both parties were a good match for one another. Upon arriving, she immediately connected with my dogs and put them at ease shortly after walking through the door. This rapport carried over to the official house sitting experience, and I could see how comfortable and loving the dogs were toward her in the daily photo and text updates she sent. She took on the individual care and feeding nuances for each dog seamlessly, and proactively reached out with any questions or concerns when she noticed something different with a dog’s comportment. She also took excellent care of the house while I was away and left it immaculate when she left. She went above and beyond by also coordinating someone to mow my lawn, which was tremendously helpful! I highly recommend Britny for multiple dog house holds and longer trips, and I will be using her again in the future.”
“Jacey was amazing with our two Great Danes. She stayed with them for two nights. She was attentive, communicative, and reliable. She handled our shy boy very well and even got some snuggles from him on the last day. We will absolutely ask for her services again.”

About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was a baby. I have always enjoyed being around animals and playing with them and building trust with them and being able to cuddle with them on tough days. I have had different types of animals in my life. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamster, bearded dragon. I currently work part time as a nanny on mondays and Friday and I also currently am trying to create my own business of refurbishing furniture when I have the time. So I am available most days. If yard is fenced I let them run and play and watch them at all times. Otherwise I will put a leash on them so they stay close. I will also pay attention to where they are at all times.
About: We have had the pleasure of owning a small business called "Pet-Inn" and boarded many dogs! Me and my mom took care of others dogs for quite some time and really enjoyed it. This experience helped me become passionate about entrepreneurship as well as working towards a compassionate connection with your pets! I currently have a part-time small business I'm running apart from being a "SAHM" so I will have plenty of time to get to know your beloved pet and get to know them so I can take care of them in the best way I know possible! I have some free time in my schedule, so finding a slot during the week to care for your pet works well for us. I have a now 6-year-old who adores small dogs, cats, and other animals! I am well aware of the responsibilities of pet care, but I want to emphasize that your pet's safety is my top priority.
About: I have 5 amazing dogs of my own, 1 pitbull, 2 American Eskimo mini and 2 Pomeranians. I had 2 liter of puppies from my dogs (1st liter was 10 pups, 2nd liter was 5 pups) and was able to raise them well for their furever home. I run a lot, so if your dog needs to exercise, you can count me in. Or simply needs a rest day, or any kind of special needs, I’m your girl. I work full time and have my own babies to care for, but I’m a super dog mom so I’m pretty flexible and prepared for anything. With my own experiences of owning 5 dogs, and raising 15 puppies, I feel like that should speak for itself. I do have a fenced in yard, I love dogs and I want them to be happy while they're with me or their own homes.
About: I'm familiar with several different sizes and breeds of pets. Some dogs, some cats. I'm used to always having a pet around. I enjoy spending time with pets. I'm currently doing what I can for work on my own. I'm hoping pet care can become another thing I do. Let me know what you need accomplished and when. I will do my best to keep your pets on a similar schedule as they are used to. I will also do my best to keep the pets comfortable.
About: I have been around dogs all my life and have 2 currently in my home, Bentley ( 9 years old) and Ronon (5 years old). I have a great love for all animals expecially dogs. I am one of those people that will see any dog and ask the owners if I could go up and pet their dog. I really hope you choose me to help you out in any way that I can. I also will love to watch your cat too if you would like. I currently adopted a diabetic cat and completely understand her needs. She receives insulin 2 times daily and receives special food from her veterinarian. I have a kind heart and can not wait to meet your pet. I work variable shifts in healthcare, so my schedule can change — but communication and planning are very important to me. I keep my Rover calendar updated frequently and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. Before confirming any stay, I make sure your pet’s routine, potty breaks, feeding schedule, and any special-needs care can be followed comfortably and consistently. Because I’m used to managing changing schedules, I’m very organized and proactive — especially for senior pets and those needing medications, special diets, or extra check-ins. You’ll always know: ✔ When I’ll be home ✔ How your pet’s day will look ✔ That your pet won’t be left alone for long periods Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, calm, and intentionally pet-friendly, with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and plenty of cozy spaces to relax inside. I supervise pets closely, follow routines carefully, and provide a low-stress environment — especially important for senior and special-needs pets. With 34 years of pet ownership, hands-on experience with medical needs, and a background in healthcare, I’m attentive, nurturing, and detail-oriented. I communicate clearly, send regular updates, and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so you can feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and in capable hands while you’re away.

In short, Mallory is awesome. This is the first time we worked with her to take care of our dog and our daughter’s dog. Mallory came over a couple of weeks before our scheduled care to meet Hank. She had never met Koda because my daughter lives out of state. They both loved her. Mallory sent pictures, videos and messages of their activities which we really appreciated but did not expect! Her communication, passion and love for our pups is nothing short of incredible. Mallory will be our go to person going forward. Thank you Mallory❤️

Mallory did an amazing job caring for Josie and my home. It's the first time I've had a house sitter and pet sitter. Mallory made sure to send me updates and pictures all three days she spent with Josie. She made sure Josie was walked according to her schedule (even in the rain). I will reach out again for either daily or extended services. Thanks, Mallory! You are awesome!
