“Joy sent us frequent updates, photos and videos. She had fantastic communication and flexibility. Her home and yard was set up perfectly for pets and even had a doggy door into her fenced yard, which I just know our dog loved! Upon picking up our dog, she was so excited and happy to see us - but also went to give love to Joy when she knew she would be coming home now - which speaks a lot to how much she enjoyed her stay with Joy. Joy also helped administer meds 2x a day for our doggo with allergies. She also went out of her way to bring our dog to the park to free run (after asking permission!) and sent videos which was amazing to see while we were away on vacation. We will 100000% use Joy’s services again in the future and highly recommend her!”
About: I have never lived without a dog in my life, my family trains hunting dogs so I am very familiar with training and dog behaviors. I currently work two part time jobs, one more part time then the other but I'm available on weekends and wednesdays and weekdays after 3pm. I have one pup of my own who is very friendly and loves to make friends and a large unfenced yard, can crate if needed but the crate would need to be provided.

“Micaela was wonderful! Reliable, gentle with the dogs. Communication is great! My dogs were calm when I got home. Will definitely use Micaela again when she is available!!”
“Great communication. Brought treats for our cats (Checked with us first) Seemed sincerely affectionate and fond of our cats. Gave us daily updates beyond the pictures and duties performed. We felt very comfortable being away because we felt our girls were in really good hands.”
About: Growing up on a farm, I took care of many animals from a young age- cats, dogs, horses, rabbits and chickens. As an adult, I have always had an animal and love taking care of friends and family's pets. I've taken care of puppies, kittens and senior dogs as well and can provide them all the love and attention they deserve I'm currently working part-time, and have time to play with your pups and cats! Whether it's an early morning walk, evening let out or taking care of your fur baby in your home while you're away- they'll be in good hands. I am happy to come to your home and care for your pet while you're away. I love taking walks so they can stretch those legs, feel comfortable crating animals if that's their routine and happily can play fetch with them in the backyard.
About: I’ve looked after family and neighbors’ dogs whenever they needed, and love spending time with all kinds of pups. Whether it’s going for walks, playing outside, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I always make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I treat every dog like my own and do my best to keep their tails wagging! I’m available after 3:00 pm anyday. But my school schedule varies through out the week Monday I could stop in between 10 and 12 if needed, Tuesdays available at 1:00 pm, Thursdays available at 11:00 am. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well taken care of. I always keep an eye on safety, making sure doors and gates are secure and that everything stays clean and calm. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and at ease while you’re away.

“Daniel was great. He checked in every day and gave Nala plenty of attention. He was upfront about when he'd be at the house and made me feel comfortable knowing our girl was safe. He went above and beyond.”

“First time Haylee had taken Dexter. Everything went good. I sounds like he friended the other dogs and Haylee. Her communications were appreciated. Excellent dog sitter.”
“This is the first time we have had a dog sitter. Joy is knowledgeable and competent . She has a happy, laid back personality that I am certain is noticed by all her furry customers. Joy communicates well with texts, photos, and even a little video. These efforts made our day of biking relaxing and fun, just as planned.”
“We are so happy we found Jocelyn! Nala had a blast with Jocelyn and her fur crew! She shared several updates and pics throught the day. This was our first time using Rover with Nala bc she is very timid but she warmed up and fit right in. We'll definitely be booking again if we're in Myrtle. We came to visit and had to bring her at the last minute. Thank you so much, Jocelyn!”

About: We are empty nesters after losing our last dog to cancer. We are looking to fill that void but don’t want to commit to a permanent dog. Smaller dogs is what we preferred in our home. My daughter and daughter-in-law own a large dog boarding center up in Minot, ND. When our 5 kids come home all the grand dogs come with them. Thru our marriage years our family always had dogs and they all had a great life. Marilyne and Albert are retired and are home all day. We will be home to take care of the dogs. We have plenty of time to cuddle with the dogs. We have a clean and organized home with vinyl planking flooring. The dog will not be running lose and will be on a leased to go potty. We like to go for walks and take a ride on the golf cart.

About: My lifelong passion for animals began as a child with my family's cat and guinea pigs. When I was 10, I took on the responsibility of caring for my Shiba Inu, Mia. I dedicated myself to her training, teaching her numerous commands like "sit" and "stay," and I gained invaluable experience with a breed known for its temperament. I am experienced in administering oral medications and tick/lice preventatives. As a teenager, I adopted a cat and continued to build my experience by volunteering at a local humane society and caring for a neighbor's dog. Friends and family have also relied on me for house and cat sitting. I am pursuing my Master's degree in education, which gives me a very flexible and adaptable schedule. Pet care on Rover is one of my priorities, so I have plenty of availability for your pet. I am available for overnight sits, walks, and drop-in visits on weekdays and weekends, and I carefully manage my schedule to ensure I have quality time for every booking. I split my time between Alexandria and the Twin Cities, and my calendar is always kept up to date for my availability in each location. I provide pet care in your home and not in my own, as I do not offer boarding or day care services. This allows your pet to stay in their familiar, safe environment, which I believe is best for their comfort. I am very organized and reliable, and I will strictly follow all of your instructions regarding feeding, medicine, and routines. You can trust that I will treat your home with the utmost respect and provide constant communication, including photo updates, to ensure your peace of mind while you are away.

I have worked with disabled dogs so I'm always attentive to there needs. With my own to dogs I'm very good at picking up on body language and when they need potty breaks.

About: Hi! I’m Madison, a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I grew up with several different breeds and I’m confident handling dogs with all kinds of personalities — from shy seniors to high-energy puppies. What makes me different? I’m comfortable administering medications and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I also treat every dog like my own — with patience, joy, and tons of belly rubs. I believe walks should be safe, stimulating, and full of tail wags! Whether your pup needs a short potty break, a jog around the block, or just a new friend to hang out with, I’m here to help. Why Clients Love Me: • Always punctual and reliable • Updates with photos and fun notes after every walk • Flexible scheduling and last-minute availability • Training is also another option I like to throw out there With my job I’m also in Alexandria area often every week as well! Let’s get your dog’s tail wagging — I’d love to meet your furry friend/family member! I clean house’s, so my schedule is almost the same everyday unless clients need to move cleanings around. I’m typically off before 4pm everyday and some days earlier. I have an almost 3 year old dog that I’ve had since he was born. I had 2 litters of puppies so I’ve had experience in training 15 puppies! He is my pride and joy. He is very spoiled and loves to play ball. I would treat your dog as if it were my own. I have a huge heart & love to be around dogs of all sizes!
About: I'm a teacher and an animal lover! I'm great at caring for others. 😄 We have two friendly cats and would love to host some dogs. I'm available most weekends and all summer. I'm available to board your pet most weekends! You can always reach out even if my schedule says not available. Those that have boarded with us love that their pet was clean, relaxed and well cared for. My kids love animals and your pet will be given a lot of attention. We have two cats that we love dearly. Our animals are part of our family. We hope to meet a few nice families that want their pets to get some extra attention in evenings or weekends.
