House Sitting Thomas Dale

“Penny was great. She really listened during our meet and greet. The dogs (1 senior cocker spaniel and 1 middle aged active beagle) really seemed to love her. We came home to happy dogs and a well cared for house.”

Julie K.

“Kristen was a wonderful house/dog sitter. She communicated, sent pictures, followed all the directions and we came back to a very happy dog and clean house! Highly recommend her for future adventures.”

Cerina M.

“Kristina is ah-ma-zing! She sends multiple videos/photos during the stay, and obviously loves working with animals. She’s excellent person and we will rebook with her in a heart beat”

Rozene E.

“Paige was great! We came home to a very happy kitty, and she was excellent about communication and sending photos/updates throughout the week. Would definitely recommend!”

Gretchen E.

“Gretchen exceeds our desires for a dog sitter! She is great with Gus and leaves the house clean and well cared for. She posts pics and comments to us almost daily while we are gone about how Gus is doing. We recommend Gretchen wholeheartedly and look forward to more times when she can come stay with Gus.”

Pam E.

“Beth was great, as always! Takes wonderful care of our pets and always sends us updates on how they're doing. Highly recommend her to anyone!”

Paul B.

“Another one of her repeat customers! Takes wonderful care of our very senior dog who requires quite a bit of help! Great with her meds, which include insulin injections, as well as helping our blind dog with steps to the back yard. Very happy and definitely recommend!”

Elizabeth B.

“Rachel was great with our pets, who can be very particular! We came home to relaxed pets and a very well cared for home. Will definitely look to book Rachel again!”

Lorin H.

“Julaine took excellent care of my dog while I was gone for an extended period of time. Both the dog and my home were in great shape when I got back.”

Rachelle A.

“Sarah was incredibly patient with our Penny girl. Penny had met and interacted with her before the house sitting, but was a bit skiddish when Sarah came. She kept in constant contact, applied recommended solutions and they found a rhythm pretty quickly! Felt extremely comfortable with Sarah’s care in our home! Thanks for your care and patience with our pup!!! Would definitely book again!”

Braden B.

“Rachel did a great job housesitting for our two kitties who are a bit demanding. She took care of our mail, trash, packages, and other people coming and going from our home while we were gone. Highly recommend hiring her if you want peace of mind while on your vacation. Will use her again for upcoming trips.”

About: I've had pets since I was a child. My best friend and I would catch lizards and insects growing up. I've volunteered at my local shelter (in Florida), and I often visit shelters to give animals attention. Friends and coworkers know me for my love for animals and entrust me with their care when they are away for a work day or an extended period of time. LGBTQIA+ friendly Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I live and work full-time in downtown St. Paul with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide care on workdays—whether that’s walks, check-ins, or some quality time. On weekends, I’m able to dedicate full days to pet care. I love going on neighborhood walks and outdoor excursions when the weather’s nice, and I’d be happy to have your fur baby join me. I always meet each pet where they’re at, whether they need lots of activity or a little extra emotional support. When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I focus on giving each animal the kind of attention and interaction that fits their personality. I’m happy to provide all the pets, cuddles, and playtime they want, but I always let them set the pace. I love playing fetch, being chased (or doing the chasing!), and I’m comfortable engaging in a bit of rough play with larger breeds when appropriate to help them burn off energy. I always respect an animal’s space and let them approach me first. With cats, for example, I’ll take things slowly and use gentle cues like slow blinking to help build trust. Whether your pet loves being a lap companion or just wants a calm presence nearby, I’m attentive to their needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in any environment.

“Michelle was very responsive and communicative with us and was really attuned to the dogs' moods and how they were feeling. She was responsible with them and in our space and the dogs clearly were well taken care of while we were away.”

Dev G.

“Julie watched our two dogs for over a week and was great. She was extremely communicative about every detail - which we especially appreciated for the first couple of days as we adjusted to being away from the dogs. She sent photos, which we loved as well. She was a very courteous house guest, and reached out with questions when necessary. When our return home was delayed, she was flexible and helpful - even though it was Christmas Eve! We returned to a house that was much cleaner than we’d left it and happy dogs. Julie made it clear that her goal is to maintain the dogs’ routine so they’re comfortable, and that was exactly what we were looking for. That, combined with having the house so well looked after, gave us peace of mind while being away. We’d definitely recommend Julie!”

Susannah S.

“This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our dogs with anyone but our family. Lacie was super lovely, updated us all throughout the stay, and our pups were both settled and rested when we came home. Would defianntly recommend and utilise Lacies amazing dog whispering skills again!”

Madison F.

“Christine is a great caregiver! My dog & cats were given excellent care. She stayed a week and kept in touch so I knew how they were all doing. I came home to very happy, relaxed pets because Christine was so good to them. She fed, walked, administered medication and even cleaned up after them.”

Christine K.

“Paige was such a gift! We loved all the photo updates while we were away and it's clear Paige is quite the cat whisperer. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girls 🥰”

Audrey

“Kari (and Maggie) are WONDERFUL, we felt so comfortable with having them watch our 2 pups at our house. She sent lots of photos and updates which helped us be able to enjoy our trip even more without worrying about them. Already planning the next time!”

Caitlin B.

“Tilia did a fantastic job with my stubborn but rambunctious dog Luna. Luna was in great spirits when I got home, the house was in perfect condition and she even watered my plants! Would definitely have her sit Luna again.”

Julie H.

“Cristina is the absolute best sitter. She’s so calm and warm. She sends lots of photos and keeps me updated. I trust her completely and know she’s taking good care of my puppy.”
