About: I lived within doggie for almost a year. My ex’s mom do dogs sitting and foster dogs. I also lived with Daisy!!

About: I hold a degree in Animal Science from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, where I completed a variety of courses focused on animal care, behavior, and management, along with gaining valuable hands-on experience in dog training. I also have over eight years of experience fostering and training service animals. Through this experience, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behavior and am comfortable working with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I prioritize patience, consistency, safety, and individualized care for every dog I work with. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors and going on walks, and I look forward to providing your dog with plenty of exercise, companionship, and attention. I’m excited to meet you and your pet and provide reliable, high-quality care while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize providing consistent, attentive care. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I especially enjoy incorporating walks and outdoor time into my day and look forward to making pet care a rewarding part of my regular routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and any specific preferences or routines. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while respecting the pet’s space and personality. I also understand that caring for a pet means caring for their home, so I am respectful, responsible, and mindful of keeping the space clean and secure. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: My pet care experience is really just time spent with animals. All through my life I have had cats, right now I have sweet girl Lexi. We've also had gerbils, a guinea pig, frogs, and mice (yes, as pets)! Although I have never owned a dog, I am blessed with many friends who do. I definitely have lots of "time spent with dogs" hours under my belt. On a fun side note, I have a couple friends who live on farms with horses, chickens, dogs, etc! My occupation title right now is "stay at home daughter," lol so I have lots of open availability. With the open availability comes a lot of flexibility! I am hoping to create my own life path someday, so for now just doing remote work and odd jobs here and there. And hugging doggos :) Growing up in the cat world, I learned quick that pets have boundaries and may need time to gain your trust. A huge part of safety for the pet is being able to read behaviors and guess their next move. They're all so different! My cats are the same breed. One LOVES her back scratched, the other one hates it and will let you know to stop. Beyond attending to my pets basic needs, I love playing with them, making new toys or new environments to play in. Its so entertaining for both of us!
About: I have tons of experience with my sister’s and friends dogs growing up. I love them more than anything and I’m looking forward to meeting more! I do work a full time job from 8-4:30 Monday-Friday I’m available most evenings and all weekends. I work full time but always during the day. I will make it work in the worst case scenario! I live in a very nice apartment in Eden Prairie and a nice area as well. I have a lot of nice parks around too!
About: Large and small dog care, cat care, as well as exotic animal care. Rabbit expert. Grooming available as well as nail trims! Walks, care, and house sitting available. Part time availability open during the week, mostly early evening and evenings, as well as many open weekends for pet sitting availability. Walks available all week days! Safety is my number one priority - in your home and for your pets! Whether it is keeping your home safe and security while you are away or keeping you updated on the safety of your pet; I am willing to comply by any security measures.
About: I have 2 cats of my own whom I love dearly, so I take the responsibility of pet-sitting very seriously. Things like daily enrichment, supervision, and providing a safe environment are my top priority. Fun fact: I watched my cousin's flying squirrel once as a kid! I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I have 2 cats of my own that I care for on a daily basis, so caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine. I love to send updates and photos to pet parents throughout the day and I am super easy to reach over the phone if you need anything! I also like to give homes a small tidy up before I leave (free of charge) which would include removing pet hair, wiping down things down, and leaving the space better than I found it.
About: I have help take care of friends and neighbors pets for at least 7 years. I am looking to help more around my neighborhood with Rover app. Am looking to help in walking or just dropping by to help your fur baby to get out and go potty. I looking for part time. If you are ever in need of a place to keep your pet over while you go out of town. I am willing to help out with that and would like to just keep in mind I have kids that are kind to animals.
“Audrey was great and helped me out on a very last-minute request for care. Milton took to her immediately at the meet and greet. I appreciate that she spent more time with him on the 2nd check-in. Would definitely book her again!”
“We love Sarah, more importantly Mylo our cat does too! He is very happy and we appreciate her time and dedication to him. We can vacation with peace of mind in knowing our Mylo is greatly being taken care of.”
About: My family has had our Great Dane/black lab mix named Moose for 7 years! My mom frequently asks me to dog sit for her when she is out of town often. We take naps, go on long walks, and play inside and in the yard! I love the energy that dogs bring and am always excited to have fun with them! My friend owns a dog sled yard, so I am also friends with 30 other dogs, and I love to play with them when I get to visit! I am on the hunt for a part time job, so right now I am currently free all week! Once I get a job, the hope is to work from 30-40 hours a week, including pet sitting with Rover! I anticipate that my mornings and afternoons with be the times with my biggest availability I am very respectful of houses, and once I leave I make sure it looks the same as how it was before I came! I respect not only your privacy of your house, but also your pets privacy! I am a calm sitter who will meet your pet at their level, and help them slowly open up if they need to! I take safety in the house very seriously and will make sure I stick to your pets routine and what they need. will be taking Rovers background check, and I am prepared for an emergency!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Shakopee
Michele is amazing! She took care of my two cats for 2 weeks time frame and did an excellent job! You can tell she truly cares for animals rather than just doing it for the money. My cats warmed up to her and she sent detailed pictures after every visit, and responded promptly to any text messages. I am definitely booking her again when we travel. If you want someone to look after your pets just like you are and not worry about them, Michele is your person.
Alexa does a wonderful job with my senior cat when we're out of town including giving a pill. She leaves helpful notes from the visits that help reassure us that our pet is in good hands. Plus we love the care she puts into a variety of pictures. Definitely recommend!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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.
