“Carrie was consistent with taking care of my two cats. She had good communication.”

About: As an IT professional with a flexible hybrid schedule, I offer dedicated, reliable care tailored to your pet's routine. I grew up with animals and currently care for my 16-year-old cat, Vida, giving me extensive experience with senior pet care, routines, and medication needs. Whether your dog needs an energetic midday power walk to burn off steam or gentle, structured neighborhood strolls, I provide attentive care, secure leash handling, and frequent photo updates on every visit. I have a flexible hybrid job that allows for breaks during the day. I don't work weekends, so I have even more flexibility on those days. Safety and communication come first. I always ensure secure harness/collar fits before heading out, avoid on-leash greetings with unfamiliar dogs, keep pets hydrated, and wipe paws upon return. You'll receive detailed Rover cards with walk maps, timestamps, and photos after every visit.

About: I’ve had and helped care for pets my entire life! From dogs and cats to guinea pigs and horses, I’ve always loved being around and caring for animals of all kinds. I’m familiar with the needs of cats and dogs of all ages and am dedicated to providing reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I just graduated from high school this past school year and will be commuting to school starting in September. I only have a few classes each weekday, so I should still be available to care for your pets around my schedule! I am also very flexible and should be able to meet the needs of almost any pet parent! In my experience, every home is run differently, and every pet sitting job is unique, so I always follow the pet parent’s schedule and instructions. I pay great attention to detail and am responsible with timelines for tasks.

About: I have grown up with numerous animals and I love taking care of them. I am very responsible and I take care of your pets the way you ask me to. I am finishing my accounting degree online and I am available all the time. I will follow your directions well and accommodate what your pets need. I have a fenced and can give attention to your dogs all day long. I am happy to housesit and take care of your pets in your home.

About: I have been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and small rodents of my own and others for most of my life! I’m currently mom to a Great Dane rescue named Paloma and a rabbit rescue named Pluto. My partner and I have done extensive training (Hamilton Dog Training) with Paloma over the last two years to remove all dog reactivity and allow her to be off-leash trained. I also have experience with elderly animals receiving hospice care as they head over the rainbow bridge. I currently work as a part time structural engineer technician from home so I have lots of flexibility in my schedule to look after your little buds. My partner, Grant, is a structural engineer who also works from home. We both grew up surrounded by animals and wouldn’t have it any other way! I strongly believe that a tired dog is a happy dog! Long walks are a must for our pups to receive the attention and exercise they need and I truly believe nature is as healing to our furry family as it is to us.

“Samantha has been taking care of this little fur family in various forms for a couple years now. I always feel confident that she is making sure they are getting what is needed and all the snuggles. Thank you!”

About: Hello👋🏽I’m a passionate dog lover and pet stylist at a doggie daycare, with 6+ years of experience leading playgroups and 3 years as a professional groomer. I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and individual needs.🐾 I currently have the sweetest babies, a 12 year old lab and 2 laid back cats. I grew up caring for our rescued beagles from an animal testing facility, which taught me how to support sensitive or nervous pups with patience and compassion. Through daycare and grooming, I’ve worked hands-on with all kinds of breeds, coat types, and personalities. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and help them feel safe, happy, and loved! I also offer nail trims if your pup is comfortable with it.✂️ I also enjoy cleaning in my spare time, so I’d be happy to offer light housekeeping or general tidying if that’s something you’d find helpful.🫧 Pet care fits into my routine really naturally. I work as a groomer and often have shorter days starting at 8am, usually finishing around 2 or 3 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting in the evenings. I’m also available most weekends for drop-ins and walks. I typically pet sit in the owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely—every pet is different, and I do my best to stick to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just extra snuggles. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with care, just like I do with your pets!

About: I have taken care of dogs and horses and absolutely enjoy making sure they feel safe and loved. Pets bring so much joy and comfort. I hope to do the same for the pets I am watching. I'm currently working part-time, so I am available for more time. My son is off to the Marines, so I can stay at the client's house. This love for pet sitting began when my friends asked me to take care of their animals while they were on. vacation I prefer the pets at the client's house, where they feel more comfortable. Building trust with pets is key; they feel safe and secure while parents are gone. I will communicate with you as well as you see fit when you are gone to ensure you are happy and safe.

About: Hi! My name is Avery, and I have a lifelong love for animals. I will treat your dog as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the care, attention, and love they deserve. I have experience with dogs, cats, bearded dragons, hamsters, and even snakes! I currently have a friendly 1-year-old, 20-pound pup who loves meeting new friends. In my free time, I volunteer for No Dog Left Behind Rescue, further fueling my passion for helping animals. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you're away. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry (or scaly!) friend! I currently work part time from home with a very flexible schedule. If your pup needs frequent potty breaks. I’m able to accommodate that. They will not be left alone for long periods of time, and always have company, whether they want someone to play with or snuggle with, or just be around them. When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness, whether they’re in my home or yours. In my home, your pet will enjoy a friendly and comfortable environment, with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. I keep my space clean and secure, ensuring it’s suitable for all kinds of pets. In your home, I maintain your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable. I’ll make sure they have food, water, and exercise at the times they’re used to. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or administering medications, I always aim to provide personalized care based on your pet's unique needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved and well cared for while you're away.

About: If you’re looking for someone dependable to drop in on your pup or take them out for some fresh air and exercise, I am here to help! Working from home gives me the unique ability to step away and dedicate my full attention to walking, check-in services, and boarding for your furry family members. Dogs have been the center of my family's world since we got our first puppy 25 years ago. After our beloved 14-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback passed away in January 2026, we realized just how much we missed the routine of caring for a dog. I love interacting with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Through fostering numerous puppies, I have mastered the art of leash training and high-energy play. Furthermore, because our own dog was deaf and lived to a ripe old age, we are uniquely equipped to provide gentle, specialized care for elderly or disabled dogs during drop-ins, walks, and some boarding. I promise to bring peace of mind with plenty of updates and love! Working from home full-time Monday through Friday gives me incredible flexibility throughout the week. Because my desk is just a few steps away, I am able to seamlessly structure my day around your dog's needs—taking regular, dedicated breaks to provide refreshing neighborhood walks, interactive playtime, and frequent outdoor potty rests. Your pup will enjoy consistent companionship and routine care without me ever having to leave the house for an office commute. I live in a rambler with a walk-out basement and a large yard. We live near a couple of parks, and I love taking the dogs for walks.

Whether that be an animal who is more skittish, puppies, kitties, senior dogs or cats I can care for all. I also can help take care of reptiles! I am available full-time to care for, play & attend to your animals' needs. My focus is helping families be able to travel with full security that their fur babies are in great hands.

About: Hello pawrents! After many years of running Harley’s Dog Sitting in California, our family recently packed up our paws and relocated to Minnesota. While I’ve closed the boarding chapter of Harley’s Dog Sitting, I still love spending time with dogs and am available for dog walking and drop-in visits through Rover. I’ve cared for dogs for 17+ years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, from energetic puppies and big personalities to shy dogs and seniors who prefer to take life at their own pace. My approach has always been pretty simple: meet dogs where they are. Some dogs want an adventure and a good sniff around the neighborhood. Some need to burn off a little energy while their humans are at work. Others mostly want a potty break, dinner, and someone to tell them they're a very good dog. ### EXPERIENCE & SAFETY I have emergency and animal CPR training and experience administering medications and caring for senior dogs. Years of welcoming hundreds of dogs into our home for boarding has me tuned to reading dog body language, handling different temperaments, and adapting care to the individual dog. I’m comfortable with all breeds and don't have breed restrictions. DOG WALKS Walks are tailored to your dog rather than treated like a race around the block. I'm happy to follow your normal route and routine, or give your dog plenty of time to sniff and explore along the way. Let me know about any leash behaviors, triggers, favorite routes, escape-artist tendencies, or neighborhood nemeses I should know about before we head out. DROP-IN VISITS Drop-ins can include potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, medications when discussed in advance, playtime, backyard time, and plenty of attention. Just tell me what your dog's normal routine looks like. Keeping things familiar is usually the easiest way to make having a stranger show up at the house feel a whole lot less strange. A FEW THINGS TO KNOW Please make sure your Rover profile includes current care instructions, veterinary information, and an emergency contact. For walks, dogs should have a secure, properly fitted collar or harness and leash available. I also use a slip leash for extra protection against houdini hound behavior. For drop-ins, please provide clear instructions for feeding, medications, accessing your home, and anything else that's important to your dog's routine. NEXT STEP Send me a message through Rover and tell me a little about your dog and what you're looking for. My availability is intentionally limited, but if our schedules line up and it sounds like a good fit, I'd love to meet your pup. 🐾 I work from home full time, which gives me flexibility to fit walks and drop-in visits into my day. For recurring care, feel free to reach out with the schedule you’re looking for and we can see if it’s a good fit. In your home, I follow your dog’s normal routine and your care instructions as closely as possible. Dogs are kept securely leashed on walks, and I use a slip leash as an extra layer of protection against any Houdini hound behavior. I’m experienced with medications, senior dogs, and dogs with all kinds of personalities. Before leaving, I make sure your dog is settled, water is fresh, and doors and gates are securely closed. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority.

I make sure doors, gates, and entry points are always secure to prevent escapes, and I’m careful during walks and visits to keep your pet safe at all times. I follow feeding, medication, and care instructions exactly, and I always keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being.
