“My kitties had a fantastic time when Kimberly visited. Her check-in notes and pics and care were outstanding. I will be rebooking with her! Thanks so much, Kimberly!!”
About: Fostered dogs with medical needs through Emotional Rescue. Experience with dogs of all life stages from puppies to senior dogs, including pregnant dogs. Experience with reactive dogs. Cat owner and have experience giving cats pills due to a cat undergoing chemo. I work remotely with a flexible schedule. So I have a good amount of available time during the week and often on weekends for both drop ins and sitting. This will obviously depend on your specific dog! I'm happy to follow owners instructions as they know their pets best. I am comfortable with giving medication, going for walks, playing with toys, doing some basic trick training and prepping dog meals.
“Sydni responded quickly. She is very caring and punctual. We loved seeing all the photos and the updates while we were away. It made our day! Our cat loved Sydni’s company as well.”
“Aleeya was very friendly and easy to work with! She took the time to meet with us before our first booking to listen to our concerns and talk through them. The pups loved her and we will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Christina came through for us in a pinch sight unseen! SUPER professional and made our “kids” a priority. Christina took the extra time to talk with us and ask lots of questions so she could give the best care possible. We will DEFINITELY call upon Christina again & look forward to a lasting relationship with our pooches!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 8 years old when I got my first official pet, a parakeet named Kiwi. Since then, I’ve helped take care of my family’s dogs, cats, gecko, and my own dog. I worked as a Client Service Representative at a Vet Clinic in New York for a year before moving to Duluth, MN. I work full time during the week as a teacher, and most evenings as a swim coach. During the summer I’ll have much more availability since I won’t be teaching, but for now am mostly available on the weekends and some evenings during the week. At my home, dogs need to be leashed when outdoors as I do not have a fenced in yard. I’m comfortable working around the parameters of your own home to best fit your pet’s needs.
“Lori was amazing! I needed a last minute sitter for drop-ins and she was able to squeeze me in! I always feel so nervous leaving my pups with someone new but she did great! My pups loved her! She sent lots of pics and made me feel so comfortable! I'll definitely be using her again!”
About: I have a husky and chihuahua puppy of my own and I love them to death! My husky reef has limes disease so I am familiar with giving medicine if needed! Also have plenty of puppy experience so I know how to tire your pups out haha! I usually work till about 1pm everyday, im off on the weekend so I'm pretty available, I am in the military so I have to go on work trips occasionally. I'm very flexible, my pups get a little stressed out when there are other dogs around but I am totally okay with walking/running/visiting, and playing with yours in your home!
About: i grew up with three cats, three dogs, a leopard gecko, and twelve chickens. i love animals and regularly pet sit for my friends and am willing to look after a wide variety of pets. I work at Bali Asian Cuisine in Duluth as a bartender part time. Right now i work tuesday and thursday nights as well as friday and sunday mornings. i have a lot of roommates so i can’t accommodate for any more pets in my own home but I am respectful of other people’s space and am willing to stay at other places.
“Jessica was awesome! She watched our two dogs for 1 week. She was very quick to respond with anything I had to tell her. She came for a very nice visit before we left to meet our pups. She sent many pictures while we were gone. Very highly recommend her!”
About: While I have not been a professional dog sitter I have always been the one to offer to walk or watch my coworkers, family, and friends dogs.I absolutely love being around them, and can't wait to meet yours. In the past I have used Rover to find a sitter for my dogs when I am travelling with them. Having a safe place for them to be when I go tour around a new city is such a nice option to have. Sometimes this is a few hours other times an overnight. Hoping to be able to provide this for others. I have 3 dogs of my own, one shelter rescue and 2 foster fails. Luna, Ole, and Birdie have been great foster siblings to foster dogs I have cared for also. I have a fenced yard with enough room to play. I also have a few spare bedrooms so will have the ability to separate dogs if that is needed however I prefer to dogsit those that are dog friendly due to already having a few in the home.
About: I’ve had a pet my whole life so I’ve grown up knowing how to to care of dogs. I have taken care of senior dogs and also puppies so no matter the age I can manage! I have had about 3 years of experience on this app so I know how it works and I’ve done plenty of bookings! I am currently a full-time student at the University of Minnesota-Duluth and I am a part of a sorority. My schedule is pretty flexible. I do have classes during the day and I sometimes have events I need to attend but I am able to house sit, drop in, or walk at almost any time unless my calendar says otherwise. I will give the dog/a plenty of attention and make sure they are well taken care of. I’ll get them outside at least once a day and bathe them if needed. If there’s any other additional services your dog needs I will happily provide it for them.
“Chrissy took excellent care of our three kittens. They were wild and she played with them while cleaning up after them. She stayed in contact and sent photos of the visits which was great! I highly recommend her and will be reaching out to her for future visits.”
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had animals around me. I subcontracted for a Rover pet sitter for 6 months as well as pet sitting for family and friends for the past several years. I’m currently home for the summer doing Rover and little side gigs to get some money. Being so my schedule is very open so I am able to spend as much time as needed with your sweet fur baby. While in the clients home caring for their pets, I do what is needed to make sure their pet is as comfortable as possible, and try to stick to their daily routine as closely as possible.

I have two cats who can be somewhat rambunctious, and he did an excellent job keeping them out of trouble. 😌 He went above and beyond, their litter boxes were kept impeccably clean, food and water were consistently filled. He sent me lots of pictures and videos, including a very sweet video of him giving them both a treat. I felt very safe and comfortable with him staying at my home, and was pleased to see it was clean when I returned. Overall, he was very accommodating and communicative. ❤️😌”
