About: I have been involved in the care of my own dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. Additionally, I have trained and fostered a dog in college through an entire semester! In the past I have helped pet sit for a couple friends overnight, so if you're looking for someone who will be respectful of your space, I am the person for you! I am in-between jobs so I will have a lot of avilability, especially between october to december! However I will need some heads up as I can't do a lot of things last minute! I care for animals by ensuring they have fresh food and water everyday, cleaning and grooming as needed. Will also play, walk, and train, and cuddle with the furry companions!
“Clint was an amazing pet sitter! He took care of our two dogs, Jake and Stella, our cat Niko, and our visiting cousin dog Poppy—all with ease and care. He was very responsive and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our pets clearly loved him, and it was obvious they were in good hands. Clint did a stellar job, and we would absolutely love to have him watch our crew again anytime we’re out. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for a variety of pets, including both dogs and cats. What sets me apart is my ability to handle special situations. I'm skilled in caring for puppies and seniors, and I'm ready to respond calmly and effectively to emergencies, including unexpected trips to the vet. I have personally handled emergency vet events with my own pets, so I understand how stressful those situations can be. I'll make sure you get regular updates, including adorable photos, so you're always in the loop. I make pet care a top priority in my routine. My schedule as a part-time worker and online student is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to my bookings. I'm happy to communicate my availability in advance to ensure we find a routine that works perfectly for your pet. I work to ensure every pet's needs are met by following a consistent routine and providing a clean, comfortable, and stress-free space. I'm experienced in proper pet introductions and am prepared to handle unexpected situations, always putting your pet's safety first.
“Eden was very accommodating changing her schedule to watch my dog while I was out of town for 5 days. She took great care of him and also fed my cat. She sent pictures and updates while I was away. 🐶😻”
“Sydni watched our dogs for a night and things went great! We have one dog who is skittish around new people in the house and Sydni did well with her. House was just as we left it when we returned.”
About: Experience with both dogs and cats, providing reliable care for every pet that will fit their unique personality. From long walks to short potty breaks, I got you covered ;) Fun and outgoing sitter who enjoys spending time with animals of all kinds. Known for being reliable and easygoing, with a focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable. I work Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. so I'm available most evenings and weekends. In my home or yours, pets are cared for with attention to their usual routines , from walks and feeding to playtime and naps. Each pet gets the interaction and consistency they need so they feel comfortable and are well looked after.
“Julia was fantastic! She stayed in our home to watch our dog for a long weekend and followed all instructions well. She made sure to send pictures and an update every day which was appreciated. Would recommend her and will be rebooking her in the future.”
About: There’s no cats, kids or other dogs in the home, meaning your pup (s) can have a relaxing and snuggle filled time all by themselves! I raised my Great Dane from 8 weeks-10 years old and she recently passed away. She was a reactive dog that didn’t like people, cats, kids or other dogs. I’m well versed and comfortable with shy, reactive or nervous dogs and puppies. I’m a social worker during the day, CNA a few hours a week and rarely have plans outside of that especially in fall/winter. I’m a home body whenever humanly possible. I am flexible with notice! Definitely ask if I can make a schedule work if it’s similar to my availability. I have a ground level apartment, a large couch for snuggling, a good size backyard with a tie out that is fenced on 2 sides with the opening facing an alleyway and only a walkway on the otherside.
“Danielle was fabulous! Super responsive, provided great updates and even got our shy girl to warm up to her! We knew our two senior dogs were in good hands with her too. We will absolutely use her again!!”
About: I have had animals a majority of my life, and have always had multiple animals in my current home, between mine, roommates and friends. I occasionally give a relatives diabetic cat her insulin shots, and my dog is on pain pills, so can administer those types of things if needed. I work full time, mostly in Superior, so moat days can stop home on a lunch break to let the animals out and check on things. However, I do work out on the ountry on Mondays and Thursdays, so don't have an option to stop home during the day on those days. But otherwise, having animals of my own I already plan around being able to feed them and of course give all the loves and potty breaks. I have a cat and a dog, so the house is already set up for animals! I do only have 1 chain set up outside but can easily set up more if needed, as well as space for crates if you use them, and pet gates to give or limit access to certain parts of the house.
“Jessie was great and so accommodating when caring for our two retrievers for a few nights. She gave multiple updates which we LOVED, followed instructions, and left the house in great shape. We’ll be reaching out to her if/when we need someone to watch our pups in the future!”
About: I have two dogs of my own and foster regularly for a local rescue. Friends and family often rely on me for pet sitting because they trust my reliability, responsibility, and genuine love for animals. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care to every pet I meet. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work part-time mowing lawns and driving for Uber. This gives me the flexibility to schedule visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. I enjoy being active and outdoors, and I love incorporating pet care into my daily flow. At home, I have a nice fenced-in yard with an in-ground system that’s safe and comfortable for pets to enjoy. When I’m in your home, I always respect your pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel secure and cared for in their own space.
About: Living on a farm, I have a lot of experience interacting with animals of all kinds. Running a farm of any size is not a one person job so my family is a big part of my life. I can’t imagine a better place to live doing something I love. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Whether it is feeding and watering our chickens and cows or grooming our dogs, I work hard to ensure our animals are cared for. I am a stay at home mom so your four legged friends will rarely be left alone. I work hard to follow any instructions owners may give me. Additionally, I make sure all animals in our care have access to food, water, and love. I also like to take a few pictures of what we are up to send them to people so they know their pet is getting loved and cared for.
“Anna was amazing. She was able to sit for us at the last minute at our hotel. We are from Illinois. She made it so we could go to a family wedding. The dogs loved her. I would recommend her five stars. Thank you Anna.”

He gets a vacation when he do! Her other dogs and cats are very friendly and well socialized so my dog has many more furry friends while we’re gone. No need to worry about your pup being locked in a kennel all day- Rachel and her family are very affectionate and love dogs. Your dog will be spoiled and loved the entire time! You’ll also get adorable pictures documenting your furry friends vacation and new experience! There’s no other person I’d trust more with my little guy! Thanks Rachel!!!”

Riverview pet parents share their Rover experiences
I am so glad we found Julia to watch our dogs while we were out of town. I was a bit worried that one of our dogs would have trouble warming up because he can be a bit shy when we are not there. But when we got back we could tell that our dogs were relaxed, happy, and tired. Great!!
