About: Hi there! I have decades of animal care experience both personal and professional and look forward to providing your pet with stellar care, attention, and love (if they prefer). I take pet care seriously and will tend to your pet the same way I would my own. Though I made a career switch from working with animals in a professional capacity I remain knowledgeable and continue to petsit for others and care for my own pets. I have personally owned a variety of pets including cats and dogs. I have a soft spot for senior and special needs pets and also have a long-term chicken sitting position as well :) I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully meeting your pet soon! Im a lifelong pet owner and lover and have recently found myself with a much emptier and quiet home so I am hoping to fill that void with getting to spend time your pets :). I work 2 regular jobs but look forward to having fun with your pets in my spare time I will treat your pets as dearly as I'd treat my own, I have a childless quiet home with no other pets and many years of experience both professionally and personally to provide your pet with a safe and fun experience.
“We absolutely loved Talia! She was able to help us out last minute when our last sitter fell through and gave us such relief with her updates and pictures. When we got home from our trip, we could tell that our pets were so happy and well cared for! :)”
“The best caretaker for our critters that need a bit of extra care. Kimberly is so good with our blind diabetic cat S'more. She even gives him his insulin daily while we are away! We also have a blind fish that has to be fed by hand and Kimberly was willing to feed as well! So grateful for her help and care while we were away.”
About: Hello! I have thoroughly enjoyed working with dogs since I was a young girl. I was privileged enough to have the opportunity to watch puppies grow up and see them through their training classes. Here I learned the basics on how to train puppies, as well as how to potty train them. Not only have I worked with puppies, but I have also had the pleasure of working with senior dogs who are closer to their end of life. I understand these dogs need to take it slower and be more careful with their bodies. I have given medications to dogs before in the form of pills, I am able to apply ointments if needed as well. My managers have had me watch their two dogs every time they go out of town for the past couple of years and I have had experience stopping by other coworkers, friends and families houses before to check in on animals and watch them for a day or two. I believe that my experience working with a large mix of dog breeds (e.g., bichon frises, terriers, corgis, golden retrievers, labs, dobermans, mastiffs and bernese mountain dogs) has given me the knowledge to know every dog is different and requires different care. I intent to give this utmost care to your animal while also showing them respect and warmth. Your animals having the most fun time and gaining a new friend will just be a plus to the excellent care I will give. I have a bit of an odd schedule where I have my mornings and afternoons free. Because of this, I am usually available from 5am-3pm and then I am available again by 9/10pm and after at nights. This allows me to take care of animals in the morning and afternoon, feed them and take them for their walks. Then by evening, I can do a nightly feeding if that is on their schedule, and play with them for a bit before they head to bed for the night. I truly believe this gives dogs a beneficial schedule of having company for most of the day and then having some alone time for the evening before receiving that company for the night again. When it comes to animals in my home (I don’t like using “pets” because they are our equals) I give them the utmost care. I usually wake up when they wake up and will take them potty first, feed after and then usually another potty after feeding. Then it is walk time, and then we rest for bit. Next comes a bit of rest and play routine where I will play with the animals if they show interest and then let them rest when they want alone time. Before I head to work for the evening, I will potty again and usually feed dinner for the day. Once I am home for the night, I potty the animal and then play for a bit until they are tired. That is when I will do my night routine. When it comes to taking care of your animals, they might not require the whole 9 yards. Whether or not that is the case, I will be able to accommodate mostly any animals routine and keep it as similar as possible to the routine mom and/or dad have them on.
About: I have taken care of my family dogs and cats since I was young. I got my own dog at 17, raising him as a new puppy. I also cared for my lab as he was getting ready to pass. I love all dogs, big or small. I have 2 cats with my boyfriend and love laser games and playing with cat toys. I am a former college athlete and love being active, especially with animals. I am going to be starting medical school at the University of Minnesota this fall. I love long walks and playing with animals. I have a flexible schedule to stop in and care for your sweet pets. I have grown up with small, medium, and large dogs and have learned how to handle and walk all of the appropriately. I have 2 cats now, that love playing with lasers and are easy to handle. I have handled cats when they are uncomfortable and know how to avoid injury and clear the cat from a stressful situation. I will do everything to protect your pets and provide them with quality care.
“Courtnie is incredible! She cared for our dogs, one of which is a fairly recent rescue. She made such progress her. No one has ever been able to get close with her other than Courtnie. Courtnie gave us peace of mind. She is reliable knowledgeable, and caring. She is also clearly talented with training dogs and truly an animal lover. We have already rebooked with her and can’t wait to connect her with our pups again. Thank you Courtnie!”
“Emma was so wonderful with my two cats - and with me, the anxious cat-mom who hates leaving them behind when she goes anywhere! I booked Emma last-minute for a weekend trip and she still made time to stop by beforehand to meet them and see where everything was…she was flexible with visit times and and uploaded great visit pictures that eased my separation angst :) I will 100% be booking Emma again for any pet-sitting needs!”
About: I recently moved to Duluth and while I'm loving settling into a new place, I'm desperately missing the time I used to spend with my parents' dogs (a golden retriever and a yellow lab). I was always around dogs growing up, as many as two or three in the house at a time sometimes, and still take advantage of any chance I can get to spend time around dogs - big dogs, small dogs, old dogs, young dogs, any dogs! I have two cats of my own - I've moved around a lot the last several years and some of the places I lived were better suited for cats than dogs, otherwise I'd have a dog as well by this point. I commute two days a week to teach at a community college on the Iron Range, leaving my Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays-Sundays very free and flexible. I'd love to help you take care of your little loves (cats or dogs - or any other pets, really, if you're willing to teach me a bit about it!) whenever you find yourself in a spot where you can't be in two places at once or need the extra set of hands! I teach at a college on the Iron Range on Tuesdays and Thursdays - outside of some travel to see family back in Grand Rapids, my Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends are very open at the moment. I have my own vehicle and can get around easily - I'm also more than happy to transport dogs to walking trails in my own vehicle. I'm currently renting a smaller apartment that would make any visits in my own home difficult to manage, but I live close to various walking trails and love to spend time out on them. Spending quality time with animals is something that I find deeply comforting - I truly enjoy being near animals when I'm doing anything (reading, working, walking, whatever). I go above and beyond for my own cats and would treat your pets as my own. I'm currently renting a smaller apartment that would make any visits in my own home difficult to manage, but I live close to various walking trails and love to spend time out on them.
About: I have been working as a CNA with the majority of my time being focused on senior care for the past 2 years. I have 2 dogs at home and occasionally dog sit for my neighbors and family members. I am a college student with very flexible weekday timing! I have a bunch of random gaps in my day making it easy to stop by or a quick walk! I will not offer pet care in my home as my lease does not allow it. I am very dependable and caring towards all animals!
About: Hi there! My husband and I have had dogs our entire life so we’ve been around the block! We’ve grown around labs, Goldens, aussies mostly but have taken care of families/ and friends dogs of different breeds and adore each of them:) We will 100% treat your buddy like one of our own. Can’t wait to meet you guys 🐾 😊 We just bought a new house! And we have a really big yard that is fenced in! We said once we have a yard we are wanting to open it up again to serve dogs in the Duluth/Superior area. We both teach at schools, so there are times and days we have breaks. Weekends too:) We have a big fenced in yard. We have a female Australian Shepherd and a female Golden R- both love to run and play :) With that, they love to play with other dogs! My husband and I are quite active as well. We love hiking, biking, running, going on walks, go to the water ANYTHING. So if you need us to tire out your pup we got you😆. We can close off our house with gates so your pup has access to a portion of the house if we have to make an errand otherwise we can have them in a kennel if you prefer. We understand that sometimes it’s scary dropping off your pup at a new place, so if you would like to schedule a time to meet to see if we are a good fit we can do that:)

I have lots of pet caregiving experience, I often will take care of my friends puppy while she is out of town. I have experience with basic care such as feeding, walking, letting out to go potty, and playing! I am a full time healthcare worker with a flexible schedule that allows me to be available early morning and early to late evening. I look forward to help taking care of your furry friends! As a full time student I have classes throughout the day. Monday, and Friday I am available anytime after 2:30pm. Tuesdays I am available all day, I have no classes that day. Wednesday and Thursday I typically get out of class at 5:00pm, so anytime after 5:30pm I am available. Saturday mornings and Sunday evenings I am typically available as well. At home I have a semi-unfenced yard. My backyard area is for the most part blocked off with my garage, my neighbors garage, and my backyard neighbors fence. I do however have a leash out front that I can attach to a post/hold while letting them outside. My roommates dog I mentioned previously is not staying at our home currently, so there are no other pets to worry about. I have a doggy gates, poop bags, toys, dog treats, and dog bowls! In any clients home, or mine, I will adhere to the rules in which they like to care for their furry friend!
About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I grew up with long haired dachshunds. I have also owned labs, a Dalmatian, huskies, you name it. I love big cuddly dogs the most, but will love up on the smallest to the biggest dog the same. I also have a big heart for senior pets. I am pretty flexible with my ability to do drop in care with cats and dogs. I have the ability to stop in during the days, evenings and weekends. I can do dog walking as well. I would love to do house sitting when my schedule allows. When I go to someone's home to care for their pet I will treat it as though it is my own pet, which is with the utmost care, kindness and love. I have a huge heart for all living beings including animals and humans. I am highly responsible, and responsive.
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.
“Grace did an amazing job with our cat. She came each morning, fed her, and then waited for her to finish eating so she could get some interaction. She seemed very happy and content when we got home. Much appreciated!”
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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 sitter.
