“Lindy did such a good job with our dogs! She is knowledgeable, patient and kind. Our dogs had a great time with her and I would hire her again anytime. Well worth it!”

About: I have had dogs around all my life. We have had the pets of many friends overnight over the course of the past 10 years. We love pets and will love your like our own while you are away. My wife and I work full time from home. We love to take walks during the day at all times of the year. We also have a 14 year old son and 10 year old daughter who will give lots of love. We have a large house with 2 active kids to keep your pets company. Our neighborhood has many friendly dogs and access to paths for walking.
“Regina is a true gem! She went above and beyond for my cat. From starting out with in-home visits to realizing he wasn't coping well and offering to take him to her home. I am beyond grateful and highly recommend Regina.”

“Jenn did a great job of handling a challenging situation with one of my cats while I was away. Her clear communication and photos were so helpful. I appreciate her understanding, capable, and confident care of my cats. Thanks again Jenn!”

About: I love animals! I have a sweet collie dog, two large cats, and a 23 yr old ball python I’ve had since grade school (we’re surprised he’s still around too!). I’m experienced with traditional pets, rodents, and reptiles :) I am a 80% remote worker - if I’m not home, I’m traveling for work, which I mark off on the calendar as unavailable - so if you can book me, I am around for your fur babies throughout the day! Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, or a little shy, I’m happy to follow their routines and give them lots of love. I’m also comfortable with medications, special diets, and senior pet needs. I treat every home with respect, and every animal like family. ⸻ 🐶 Dogs I love all dogs and am happy to hang with your pup at your home or visit for long walks. I do 3+ miles with my own dog and look forward to having different buddies with me on my walks. 🐱 Cats If I’m sitting for your cat, I will give them all the love or space that they need. My cats are the mascots of my home, and I absolutely love meeting new kitties. I will be available for play, attention, and cuddles, or simply being someone in the house so that they’re not lonely. —Unique Family Members— 🐭 Rodents I’ve had 6 pet rats in my life and think they’re some of the most wonderful animals: smart, affectionate, and full of personality (I even broke a toe playing tag with one when I was little!). I’m happy to care for any small critter and always consider them part of the family. I also have experience with hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. 🦎 Reptiles Although I only have Rex right now (my 23 yr old ball python), I’ve also owned a variety of lizards, amphibians, and feeder animals throughout my life. From a bearded dragon (Watson) to a leopard (Geico) and crested gecko (Sylvester), I’m familiar with preparing collard green salads, dusting crickets, maintaining humidity and temperature, and ensuring overall habitat health. I’ve ordered crickets in bulk—so I know they require care too. While Rex is currently fed frozen rodents, I’m also comfortable managing live prey if your reptile/s require them. As a full-time remote worker, I’m available throughout the day. I take regular breaks to go for walks, give attention, or check in on animals staying with us. My mornings and evenings are flexible, so I can match your pet’s normal schedule. I let your fur babies tell me how they want to be approached and handled. I don’t force myself on any creature, those both with fur and scales.
About: Hi! My name is Nikki and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I grew up rescuing animals from the streets of Puerto Rico with my mom so I’m no stranger to bottlers and potty training. My husband and I love animals and would love to have the opportunity to take care of yours. We have two amazing golden retrievers who are spoiled (really spoiled) and two kitties who think they are the kings of the house. Our home had 1.4 acres and a fenced in area as well. They have lots of space to roam and play. We are home all day so they will always have someone to take care of them. Our puppies are inside and we let them out as many times as they need. We are also available for walks and drop in visits. We have 1.4 acres and a fenced in area for the puppies to play. Our cats are inside and have lots of space to roam. When on walks we are always communicating and sending updates if needed. We’ll keep your babies safe just like if they were our own.
About: I have experience in taking care of elderly dogs and young pups. I have trained my dogs and other dogs to sit, down, wait and shake. I live in the Lake Minnetonka area. I have a Chihuahua/Terrier/Maltese Mix and he is 3 years old. I can provide the need for walks and drop in visits and house sitting. I am available during the early morning and late afternoon and evening any day of the week. I work at a school in the Minnetonka School District. I am available all holidays and summer break. I request to have clear instructions for walking/sitting dogs for harnesses, leashes, feeding, and toy preferences. I have a vet that I would use for emergencies.
“Megan has been nothing but super sweet to my pup. She leaves thorough notes immediately after her visits and takes THE best photos of my pup. I feel so safe and comforted knowing she’s checking in on her during a long day. I highly recommend Megan to watch your dog”

About: Experience raising a puppy. I cater to pups of all sizes and energy levels. My dog is not in a crate but we did crate train him I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home most days. I anm available for potty breaks, walks, snuggles, or playing fetch. I have a large, unfenced yard but I do have a long lead we can use if necessary. I can use a crate if your dog is crate trained. I’m familiar to and accommodating of specialty diets. Rico and I love walks and running at the dog park down the road!
About: I've taken care of dogs since I have been in high school. I've always loved animals and I didn't own a dog myself growing up, so my friends and family always knew I would love the opportunity to care for, feed and walk their furry family members. I have been pet and house sitting for almost 10 years now for family and friends. I currently work remotely and have a decent amount of flexiblity so I have plenty of time to come and hangout with your pups! I am free in the mornings, lunchtime, and evenings to come walk or play with your pets. My flexibility with remote work also allows be to be at the house all day with your cute pups that may need a bit more care and attention. Since I work remotely, I am able to come right to your home to provide the loving care your furry family members need! I am able to feed, walk, and care for your animals throughout the week or just for a short weekend away.
About: I grew up in a multi pet family (dogs and cats). As I got older, I took more responsibility for caring for my family’s pets. Last summer, I did several at home, overnight, several day dog sittings in my home town in Ohio. From these experiences, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, nervous dogs, and dogs that require you to give them medication! Additionally, I am a certified volunteer at the humane society which required about 10 hours of training. I helped out at the closest shelter to me for about 2 1/2 years. I work full-time with a regular 8-hour schedule, so I’m available to care for pets before and after work. I can let them out in the morning and again as soon as I get home. I only work 15 minutes away from my care radius so I can easily take care of your pet! I’m also free in the evenings to spend time with them, take them for a walk, or just give them lots of attention and company! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, walks, medication, and any other preferences your pet may have. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I aim to mirror what they’re used to at home. I’m also very respectful of your space—I treat your home with care and keep things clean and tidy. You can count on regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school, from walking and taking care of my family dog, all the way to taking care of my neighborhood dogs as well. I know how to feed bath and love your dog(s) unconditionally. My schedule is pretty open any day of the week, I work part time and I am also an online student at WSU. If we run into a problem with our schedules I’m sure I can easily figure it out! I have a fenced backyard if I need to bring the pets here, but I would most likely take them for a walk and give them lots of love when we are done!

Shorewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amy was great! Punctual and very responsive with messages. She took great care of our dog and kept me up to date with how he was doing and sent pics too. Our dog seemed like he was a pretty happy pooch even with his usual family being gone. Would love to have her back the next time we’re in need of dog care.

Maria did okay with my cat Polly. Maria played with Polly and Polly seemed comfortable with her. Polly's food scoop was left in a different location than it started and her water bowls weren't refilled, which is why I docked a star. I would trust Maria to watch Polly again and improve.
