“My first time using Rover and best experience ever with Caitlin! It was my first time being without my pup for an extended period of time and I felt so at peace with her being with Caitlin. She sent updates and I loved to see our dogs playing so well together. :) it was like a little vacation for my girl! Caitlin also surprised us with the cutest little gift set for her! If you are in need of someone to watch your dog, I would highly recommend Caitlin! I will definitely be going back to her in the future. Thank you again!”
“We could not have asked for a better family to watch our dog! There was lots of communication and updates, which was very much appreciated while we were gone. They cared for Buster just like he was a member of their family. 1,000% recommend”
“Chris has been very communicative. She sent frequent updates with pictures about how our little lady was doing. She was very accommodating to our little dog’s needs. We ran into a few hiccups returning from the airport during bad winter weather and Chris was incredibly understanding. Yes, Chris made my experience very pleasant. Yet, most importantly after 9 days I came home to a happy, well adjusted puppy! This speaks for itself. As a Shorkie our puppy is sensitive to separation anxiety. Being with Chris she definitely got all the attention and love that is used to getting at home. I am so grateful for having peace of mind that our puppy is well taken care of while we are traveling. I will definitely check with Chris first when looking for boarding our little lady again.”
“Sydney was very responsive and our dog, Murphy, had the best time! Sydney sent pics and a video update to put my mind at ease, and I appreciated the communication. I highly recommend Sydney as a pet sitter and Murphy looks forward to a future stay!”
“Leila had a great time and really enjoyed some new friends to play with. Ivy kept us updated on everything and was very responsive when checked in. She made us very comfortable with her ability to take care of our geriatric pup. We'll contact her again!”
“Really enjoyed having our 2 dogs stay with Sara! She was flexible with drop off & pick up times which was very helpful. I also loved that she offered to let me come see her space before having my dogs stay over! Gave me peace of mind! And she even sent me some videos of my dogs playing which was super thoughtful! Will book again for sure :)”
“I’m very new to this pet sitting thing but I think overall it seemed to go okay. I needed to board her due to a move. Skye is busy checking out the new place. I would use her again for sure.”
“Regan is amazing! We received pictures and updates every day that our dog stayed with her. She took him for walks, brought him outside a lot to play, and gave him lots of cuddles. We were so happy to see how well taken care of our dog was at the end of our trip!”
About: I tailor my care to you and your pets, with the goal of providing the same love and structure they’re used to. I love to learn their routines, quirks, and comforts so they feel completely at home. I come from a nursing background, so I am comfortable providing medications and treatments. I have a special love for elderly animals! I also have significant farm experience, so if watching over your farm is also something you need, please reach out!

My goal is to create a space where both pets and their owners can feel completely at ease. I maintain a calm, clean environment, and provide thoughtful attention and careful supervision.
“I can't recommend Sophia enough!! She watched our 6 month old English Mastiff for a weekend stay and she kept us informed and sent us pictures and updates, which we loved!! Cooper is tired from his fun weekend!! Thank you Sophia!!”
“Jessica is the best Luther instantly liked her and you know how animals sense people on whether they are good or not. It was nice to get pictures and updates too. He got to run around freely and cuddle and play. I just feel like Jessica has a really pure and loving energy and we are so thankful that she was able to watch him last minute and do such an amazing job :) I could tell he had a great stay.”
“They were very nice and I feel like they took care of my baby well. They said she did fine there too. My dog gets a bit of anxiety when I leave her, but they said she did well and got along with other dogs who were there as well.”
“Christina was great at communicating while I was out of town. I received a lot of pictures while I was away which gave me piece of mind that my dogs were doing well. She had the dogs outside all the time and they got lots of walks.”
“Andrea is amazing! She is very open to our schedule and sends a bunch of pictures of our puppy having a wonderful time with her family, we know that Monty is in great hands when Andrea is watching him!!”
“Amanda was fantastic! She was genuinely excited to care for our pup. Meeting up was easy and Amanda was attentive to details and for our care routine. She provided updates each day and included pictures of all the fun our dog was having. We felt confident that our dog received excellent care. When we need help in the future, Amanda will be our first choice. Thank you!!”
“Rene was terrific with my dog King. He had never been anywhere overnight before except with family members so I was a little nervous because he doesn’t do well with strangers. Rene won his confidence and mine. Thanks Rene.”
“Our family is so grateful for the care Cindy and her family gave Nala. Since we rarely leave Nala with sitters, we were initially nervous, but Cindy’s kindness put us at ease right away. After a successful meet-and-greet, Nala settled in perfectly with her dogs. Throughout the stay, Cindy was incredibly communicative, sending frequent photo updates regarding Nala’s eating and behavior. She was also very flexible and understanding when our return flight was delayed. Nala came home happy, healthy, and content. We will definitely be booking with Cindy again!”

About: Cats have always been a big part of my life, and I have experience caring for cats with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. In addition to providing daily care such as feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and companionship, my experience as a veterinary assistant gave me hands-on exposure to animal handling, behavior observation, and maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for pets. This background has helped me recognize signs of stress or discomfort and respond appropriately to keep cats happy and relaxed. As a Biological and Biomedical Sciences student, I bring a detail-oriented and responsible approach to pet care. I am fluent in English, Spanish, Dutch, and Papiamentu, allowing me to communicate effectively with pet owners from diverse backgrounds and ensure their cats receive attentive, reliable care while they are away.
“Kenzie did such a great job I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and she just sent me a lot of pictures and kept me reassured that my cat Crybaby was doing well she went above and beyond. I will definitely hire her again if I ever need to.”
“Danielle has watched my cat twice now and has done a great job :) She took the time to come meet her and let me show her around ahead of time which was appreciated. She sends multiple photos and I can tell my cat is so happy to see her. Thanks Danielle!!”

But I love going for walks myself and feel comfortable administering medications when necessary, so know that your furry friend is in good hands. I am typically very available but would like at least a day or two's notice about needing pet care. I can also help with puppy training such as sit, stay, lay down, kennel up, and even high fives.

I am also fluent in four languages: English, Spanish, Dutch, and Papiamentu.

I am currently home full-time so your pet will never be left alone overnight or for long periods of time. Frequent potty breaks, walks and playtime are always readily available. Please note: Monday-Thursday drop off & pick up must be scheduled between 5:30-7:30pm. Friday-Sunday pick up & drop off times are flexible. I have a large indoor play area so they can burn off energy no matter the weather. My Golden, Mya, makes an excellent welcoming comity and she is always thrilled to meet new friends. I can easily crate your pet if needed. We are located on a quiet street with a culdesac, perfect for safe walks. We have 2 acres for your babies to play.

About: Ive been taking care of animals, and children since a child! I currently own my own cat and a fish i’ve been caring for years now! I recently moved to St.Augusta Minnesota, while attending paramedic school in minneapolis. I just left my two year job for relocation and have a pet of my own. I’m looking to care for you pets as much as possible while I am in school. I’m able to care for your animal however you need, and am open to your own personal standards. I’m happy to do as is needed for your own personal pet needs!
About: When I was little I used to rescue dogs from the street and take them home to bathe them and feed them. My mom helped me find them a house or sometimes we stayed with them. I know the importance and respect they deserve. I work and take care of my house, currently I don't have any time to invest in anything other than that. That's why I'm currently quitting my job to try something more different. I will only walk dogs, I live in an apartment so for the moment no animals can enter. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
About: I’ve been a cat owner/lover since I was a child. I’ve dealt with some cat wound care & senior care. I have had about 6 years of experience with dogs. I love all animals and am great at reading their needs! I’m currently getting back into the work life after recovering from open heart surgery! I work DoorDash on the side and create my own schedule. I’m available almost everyday. I will care for your pets with the same love, respect, and attentiveness that I have for my own. I will respect your property and am very trustworthy.
About: I can provide a safe quiet home for your pet to visit when you’re away. I work from home and spend the days with our almost 8 year old boxer mix, Aggie. We love taking walks to the park near our home and we have a small fenced in back yard with a privacy fence. Aggie gets along with almost every dog and will sometimes play. She can be pretty vocal when she plays but is otherwise super quiet. She’s a great role model for younger dogs :) I work from home so I am usually home with the pets for most of the day. We take daily walks when the weather is good. We have a large dog crate if your dog needs. Our yard is fenced in and dogs wouldn’t usually be home alone for more than a few hours.
About: I strive to provide the care and professionalism that I need and expect to be provided to my own pets. Dogs are wonderful creatures that deserve proper love and attention integrated into their family life. I have experience with successful training of my own dog's basic obedience skills (sit, stay, heel, eat, touch, shake, etc). Have taken care of many other dogs, reptiles, and fish for people in my life. I am especially interested in helping reactive dogs or dogs with behavioral issues. I work freelance so I set my own schedule for the most part. Completely flexible for clients needs. A few weeks of the year I'm booked for longer gigs but that is easily identifiable up front for potential clients. Care for clients is completely dependent on their needs and comforts. I will always defer to the client for what is needed for them and their environment. Open and honest communication is the foundation for care and comfortability.
“Crystal was outstanding! My puppy took to her right away. She got a full walk in and was ready for a nap afterwards. I will 100percent be having Crystal do more walks in the future!”
About: I have 2 kittens of my own, and I have grown up with dogs my whole life! I’ve also dog sat and walked for my family for a few years. I currently work full time 3 days a week and part time the other two. My schedule is completely flexible at the moment! Just let me know and we’ll make something work! :) I’m dependable, respectful, and trustworthy. I have experience and I make sure all the animals are walked, fed, played with, loved on, and given all the pettings!
About: Need someone to care for your fur baby while you’re away? You can count on me! I’ve had experience with lots of dogs. Including three total of my own. I’ve worked with reactive dogs, and calm dogs and everything in between! I’ve done a class on dog grooming and care. I’ve also done lots of training with my own dogs. Whether your dog is calm, energetic, or maybe a bit rambunctious, you can rest assured they will be cared for! I currently work full time about 40 hours a week at a dog and cat boarding facility. My schedule is adjustable if I am notified enough in advance. I am willing to feed, potty, walk, groom, train, and babysit your dog. I crate trained my previous dogs well. I also taught them sit, stay, come, speak, touch, dance, roll over, off, wait, lay down and I even taught one of my dogs to play the seeker in hide and seek!

About: You should always be able to bring your dog to any facility or sitter and trust they're safe. But I think many of us don't think of how important it is for your pet to have a positive, fulfilled day! How often do full-time sitters and boarding facilities spend 1:1 time with your pet? Do they get socialized with people? Or do they develop signs of boredom or stress? I'm here to provide care for your dog or cat as though they were my own. They will receive passive and active behavior reinforcements, exposure and socialization, and can overall have a more fulfilled day with me, rather than just waiting in a kennel for you to come home. My own three cats live upstairs, and your pet would have the first floor with me and my Doberman, Hank. Maybe after a few stays, your pet can meet my cats and have the run of the house! To give all my doggo-and-cat clients a good experience, I will not see more than two pets at a time, unless discussed in advance. Your pet will never be alone unless planned, and with my fully-fenced yard, a busy neighborhood, and the option to travel to a dog park, your pet will be fully enriched here. Requests to see my home or do a trial visit (1 hour maximum) will be welcomed warmly. For dogs staying overnight or generally shy dogs, I highly recommend taking advantage of this, to ease your pet's anxiety so they can have the best stay possible. I am always willing to help clients explore different kinds of collars and harnesses to see what can make walks less stressful.

“My first time using Rover and best experience ever with Caitlin! It was my first time being without my pup for an extended period of time and I felt so at peace with her being with Caitlin. She sent updates and I loved to see our dogs playing so well together. :) it was like a little vacation for my girl! Caitlin also surprised us with the cutest little gift set for her! If you are in need of someone to watch your dog, I would highly recommend Caitlin! I will definitely be going back to her in the future. Thank you again!”
“We could not have asked for a better family to watch our dog! There was lots of communication and updates, which was very much appreciated while we were gone. They cared for Buster just like he was a member of their family. 1,000% recommend”
“Sydney was very responsive and our dog, Murphy, had the best time! Sydney sent pics and a video update to put my mind at ease, and I appreciated the communication. I highly recommend Sydney as a pet sitter and Murphy looks forward to a future stay!”
“Leila had a great time and really enjoyed some new friends to play with. Ivy kept us updated on everything and was very responsive when checked in. She made us very comfortable with her ability to take care of our geriatric pup. We'll contact her again!”
“Really enjoyed having our 2 dogs stay with Sara! She was flexible with drop off & pick up times which was very helpful. I also loved that she offered to let me come see her space before having my dogs stay over! Gave me peace of mind! And she even sent me some videos of my dogs playing which was super thoughtful! Will book again for sure :)”
“I’m very new to this pet sitting thing but I think overall it seemed to go okay. I needed to board her due to a move. Skye is busy checking out the new place. I would use her again for sure.”
“Regan is amazing! We received pictures and updates every day that our dog stayed with her. She took him for walks, brought him outside a lot to play, and gave him lots of cuddles. We were so happy to see how well taken care of our dog was at the end of our trip!”
About: I tailor my care to you and your pets, with the goal of providing the same love and structure they’re used to. I love to learn their routines, quirks, and comforts so they feel completely at home. I come from a nursing background, so I am comfortable providing medications and treatments. I have a special love for elderly animals! I also have significant farm experience, so if watching over your farm is also something you need, please reach out! I work Monday-Friday 8-4:30 with a very flexible schedule that often includes several days per week working from home. On the days I’m not working from home, I typically am not gone for the entire day. The flexibility of my schedule ensures I can do what I need to care for your pets while we’re together! My goal is to create a space where both pets and their owners can feel completely at ease. I maintain a calm, clean environment, and provide thoughtful attention and careful supervision.
“I can't recommend Sophia enough!! She watched our 6 month old English Mastiff for a weekend stay and she kept us informed and sent us pictures and updates, which we loved!! Cooper is tired from his fun weekend!! Thank you Sophia!!”
“Jessica is the best Luther instantly liked her and you know how animals sense people on whether they are good or not. It was nice to get pictures and updates too. He got to run around freely and cuddle and play. I just feel like Jessica has a really pure and loving energy and we are so thankful that she was able to watch him last minute and do such an amazing job :) I could tell he had a great stay.”
“They were very nice and I feel like they took care of my baby well. They said she did fine there too. My dog gets a bit of anxiety when I leave her, but they said she did well and got along with other dogs who were there as well.”
“Christina was great at communicating while I was out of town. I received a lot of pictures while I was away which gave me piece of mind that my dogs were doing well. She had the dogs outside all the time and they got lots of walks.”
“Andrea is amazing! She is very open to our schedule and sends a bunch of pictures of our puppy having a wonderful time with her family, we know that Monty is in great hands when Andrea is watching him!!”
“Amanda was fantastic! She was genuinely excited to care for our pup. Meeting up was easy and Amanda was attentive to details and for our care routine. She provided updates each day and included pictures of all the fun our dog was having. We felt confident that our dog received excellent care. When we need help in the future, Amanda will be our first choice. Thank you!!”
“Ashley and I met at the dog park before booking to make sure our dogs would get along. Right away I knew she would be a great fit to take care of my Tucker, and he liked her, too. She sent pictures during his stay, and care for him like he was family! I would recommend Ashley and her family to anyone needing care for their pup :)”
“First time using Rover and Enrique exceeded our expectations! Was so responsive, sent pics, and updates throughout the day. We were so lucky to have found him, and he will be a go to in the future! He watched our very young puppy and gave her the love and attention she needed (especially being so young). Our puppy also made a new bestie with his sweet dog Buttons. Definitely gave us peace of mind knowing our new puppy was with a great family!”
