“Topsy cared for our dogs for 9 days while we were on vacation. She communicated frequently, sent photos often. She gave them lots of attention and made sure all their needs were met. Will definitely book with Topsy again in the future!”
“Aish did such a great job watching our dog Niko over the weekend. We got daily update pictures and messages which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was doing well and being cared for. Niko looked happy and comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Sean and his family provided a perfect home away from home for our two poodles. He was very responsive and gave updates and pictures. I recommend booking with him and will be returning for future sitting needs!”
“After a recent bad experience at a local kennel we decided to give Rover a try. We were so lucky to have found Jordan and Morgan on our first try! Our Gracie came home happy, and more importantly healthy, after her 12-day stay, which for us was a long vacation. She was obviously well taken care of. We are so grateful! They also took good care of me by staying in touch and sending photos of Gracie. It was a gift to be able to enjoy our time away without worry. We will definitely board Gracie with Jordan and Morgan in the future. Thank you both so very much!”
“Our dogs were so happy and loved! They felt comfortable enough to show their personalities, and loved their new friends. Even our grumpy old man came around.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Tasha on Rover! We already knew Tasha, so we were confident our dog would be in great hands and she absolutely delivered. Her family helped out too, and it was clear our pups got tons of love and attention from everyone. Tasha kept us updated throughout our trip, and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog who clearly enjoyed his time with them. The sweetest surprise? They even taught him a brand-new trick! He’s been proudly showing it off. Highly recommend Tasha and her wonderful family to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾💛”
“Jennifer was so sweet, caring, and accommodating to our pup. I loved getting pictures and messages throughout his stay, which really put my mind at ease. I truly appreciate her taking in a puppy and being so flexible with our schedule tweaks. We'll definitely book again.”
“First use of Rover, but Chelsie was a great introduction. She sent great pictures, enjoyed our dog and was very engaged in the pet having a good stay. Would recommend, we will be repeat customers.”
“Our dog, Cali, had a wonderful stay with Marine and Sean! They provided daily updates and pictures during her stay, and it was quite apparent that she felt "at home" when we came to pick her up when her extended stay with them was ending. We highly recommend Marine, and hope we are able to let Cali stay with them again in the future!”
“I felt comfortable so comfortable leaving my (2) year old kitten with Tess! She was so warm and friendly the minute I walked in the door!! And I was so happy Diego had 3 children to play with him!! I know he loved that!!! I will definitely use TESS for babysitting again! Thanks to Tess and Rover!!”
“Dee is wonderful! She was so kind and patient with my senior dog. I could tell that he was happy and well taken care of during his stay! I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Trudy, her family and their doodle were great hosts for my dog. They are calm and attentive, and they included my dog in their activities. I appreciated receiving daily photos -- I could see that my dog was content. Would definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Great communication and flexibility from Alecia and Todd. They treated my little girl like one of their own. My mind was totally at ease. Can't wait til next time!”
“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”
“John and Teri were fantastic! They took amazing care of our quirky doodle, and we really appreciate their kindness, communication, pictures, and care! Would recommend them to any and all and will totally use them again! Thank you for giving us peace of mind while we were away! Bonus was a huge fenced in yard to let the 🐕 roam!”
“I have 3 yorkie rescues who can be nervous and reactive in new situations with new people. Becky instantly made me (and them) feel comfortable. Her boarding set up assures your pups safety with a fenced yard and indoor split level with puppy gates blocking the stairs so there’s never a worry your pup could sneak out. She sends pictures and updates and easily accommodates any special requests you may have. I will definitely be using Becky again!”
“Brittany was a great fit for our pup. She was communicative throughout the booking and sorting process, had a good space for him to stay, and really welcomed him into her family while we were gone. Thank you!”
“Catherine and her husband took excellent care of our dog. Very communicative with pics, video and messages. Made us feel very relaxed with the care of one of our family.”
“My dog was well cared for - even pampered by being allowed to sleep on the humans' bed. She came home happy and a little tired after a weekend with Danielle's 2 much younger, more active, but very gentle dogs. Danielle has a very large, secure yard for the dogs to play in and explore. Between the outdoor space and the young dogs to play with, Flicka got lots of good exercise.”

About: I have owned cats all my life my oldest cat I just put down at 20 due to dementia. I still currently have a 11-year-old cat and a two-year-old cat and I have cat sit for many family members and neighbors doing litter changes, special diets, and playtimes. I have worked with skittish cats, and I have worked with very outgoing cats.
“Vicki is an excellent communicator. She provided valuable suggestions to ensure her drop-in visit was convenient and well-organized. The videos she shared of our cat playing were such a nice addition and very much appreciated. We will certainly be booking her again!”
“Corey and Mia were incredible. My cat is so-so about so many people, but they had the magic touch. I got updates everyday with photos and updates on what they were doing, although I never doubted that they were taking care of him. I felt more peace of mind leaving Stanley with Corey and Mia than I have felt even leaving him with my friends. I will certainly be bringing Stanley back, and could not recommend them more!”
“I found myself in a bind when my cat needed a run to the emergency vet and they prescribed daily meds and treatments the same week I had a vacation planned. I panicked, as I was leaving for my trip the very next day. I reached out to Raelynn, she was very responsive to my request and was able to get the treatments and meds done while I was away without any issue. Thanks to her I came home to a happy and healthy cat! Anytime any of my pets need anything again I’ll be reaching back out to her before anyone else. 5 stars!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for neighbors for over 10 years and have also worked at a doggy daycare in Columbia Heights. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide reliable pet care. I’m very experienced with managing my schedule and making sure each dog’s needs come first. I make time for regular feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their care instructions and give their pets everything they need. During visits, I’ll feed them, let them outside or take them for a walk, and spend time playing with them to help get their energy out. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and are comfortable before I leave.
“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”
“Whitney was so helpful in dropping in on our two cats during vacation! She spent time playing with them and filling up their food and water feeders. I felt relieved knowing someone they liked was stopping by to show them some attention. I’ll definitely be hiring her again in the future!”
“I needed a sitter who could successfully give my feisty cat prescription eye drops, and Marissa did a fantastic job. I could not believe how quickly and easily she got it done. She was also very accommodating of my last-minute need. I'm so thankful for her help.”
About: I have always been a cat lover, I’ve had 3 cats growing up, all very different from each other. I know how to deal with every age and temperament. I have been cat sitting for friends and family for the past 4 years and have been wanting to expand my services to more people!
About: I also have extensive experience caring for cats, both personally and professionally. I recently lost my own cat after 20 years together, so I understand just how important compassionate, attentive care is at every stage of a pet’s life. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve worked with clients’ cats for years through the veterinary clinic where I work and grew up, giving me experience with cats of many different personalities, ages, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior cats, and helping nervous or shy cats feel safe and comfortable.
About: I absolutely love cats and have been pet sitting cats and dogs for 4 years. I’ve had 2 cats of my own for most of my life and currently have 17 year old cats. I also have experience administering medicine to cats such as pills and fluids!
About: As a long-time Rover user, I understand the needs and expectations of fellow pet owners. I’ve been surrounded by dogs all my life, and during my 20s and 30s, I had a wonderful cat named Lelu. Now in my 40s, I’ve adopted Luka, an Australian Cattle Dog, and have raised him since he was 8 weeks old. He’s almost four now, and caring for him has taught me so much about patience and communication. I truly love meeting and caring for animals. I’ll be attentive to your pet’s needs, send regular updates and photos, and provide them with the playful or restful companionship they need when you’re away. I currently work part-time at home and have the flexibility to set my own schedule most days, which allows me plenty of availability for pet visits and dog walks. I enjoy taking neighborhood walks with my pup and know how to safely approach other dogs while avoiding negative interactions. I stay vigilant, keeping an eye on what they sniff and might get into. Keeping fur babies safe is my top priority, so you can have peace of mind while they’re in my care.

“Leanna was so kind, attentive, thoughtful, and such a joy to meet. Our Bindi was so well cared for — we can’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much for a positive, A+ experience! 🐾”
“I sent my dogs for a fun daycare day and they came back so tired! I know they had a wonderful day. Kelsey was super sweet and informative, also sending pupdates throughout the day.”
“Maxie was having separation anxiety and Brittany was totally understanding of that. Once we work with Maxie to get her use to others outside of our family I would absolutely book with Brittany again”
About: My family and I have always had pets and we love them dearly! Pets bring such joy into a home and we would love for your pet to join our family for a visit. I work from home and my husband is home multiple days per week so there is always someone to play and cuddle your pets! We have an energetic 5 year old who loves animals and is very respectful of their space! We have a large fully fenced in back yard so lots of room to run and play. There are two adults, a 5 year old and a 3 month old in the house so many opportunities for snuggles and play! We lost our dog last year to old age and my son would love to have some pets visit to play! Animals are allowed on the furniture but we will respect the rules you have in place for your pet while they are home.
“Kimchi enjoyed her day with Topsy and especially enjoyed running in the snow in the huge fenced-in backyard. It sure tired her out and she slept that entire evening. Thank you Topsy for your excellent care of Kimchi.”
“Teddy was happy to spend the day with Amanda, she gave him lots of love and attention. I was so relieved that Teddy was well taken care of. It's a plus that she has a fenced in back yard.”
“This was our first experience using Lynn to provide an afternoon of daycare for our two, 1-1/2 yr old labs Maggie and Willow. Lynn met with us for a visit before we booked this daycare service and we found Lynn to be very knowledgeable, confident, cheerful and pleasant to work with. She did a great job answering all of questions and gave us the time we needed to ask them. On the day of daycare she took extra care in introducing our pups to the other dogs since Maggie can be very timid and a bit insecure. Everything went really well and by all indications Maggie and Willow had a great time. We will certainly book future stays with Lynn.”
About: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I walk, run and play with them. I treat every pet like a friend, offering comfort, attention and emotional connection. I bathe my dog about every other month. We have a routine in the morning with a walk before breakfast. Sometimes a walk around lunch time and another one after work is done. He is well loved and treated like a family member. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am in my office 3 half days and full time at home the other 2 days. I could stop at someone’s place on my way home to spend time with a dog and walk them. I can also stop over after work and later in the evening. In my home I have a fenced in yard that my dog can run free and play. If I am in a clients home I would make sure that there is nothing that the dog/puppy could get into after spending time with them/walking them.
“Second time to leave our pup with Elizabeth and I could tell by how excited he was when we came back that he enjoyed his last stay. Elizabeth was also very kind to accommodate Tubby overnight as a last minute request due to a family emergency.”
“Would definitely use Jie again! Very responsive and easy to work with for booking/ answering questions. During my dogs stay, I got pictures of my dog throughout the day and there is great fenced in yard for him to spend time in. And most importantly, he was happy and has a wagging tail when I came to get him.”
“I am new to the area, and Chelsie was very close by. She responded promptly and communicated clearly. I brought Riley over, and Chelsie kindly met me at the car. I was having some difficulty with the long lead, and Riley immediately went up to her as if they had known each other for a long time. When Riley heard the dogs barking inside the house, she led Chelsie to the door, which was quite charming. I realized I forgot to mention something to Chelsie, but she responded right away. On my way back to pick up Riley, I got caught in traffic, so Chelsie graciously brought Riley out to me, and Riley happily got into the car without any issues. After we returned home, I noticed that Riley's card was filled out, and there was a detailed note, along with photos of Riley's day, showing that she had gone for a walk and played with her dogs. Overall, I would rate the experience as excellent, and Riley will definitely be visiting again.”

I grew up around both dogs and cats and have always been comfortable caring for animals of different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also cared for cats long-term in my own home, which has given me experience with daily care and building trust with pets. I focus on keeping pets safe, calm, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m available to care for cats & dogs Monday through Sunday. I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention to make sure your pet feels happy and comfortable. I focus on following each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for throughout the visit. I care for pets by following their usual routines, including feeding, fresh water, walks, and litter box maintenance when needed. I give plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection to make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I can also administer medications if needed. I make sure pets are cared for in a clean, safe, and calm environment, whether I’m visiting their home or caring for them in my own. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including managing multiple pets at once and ensuring each one receives proper attention and care. 💕
“Giovana and her family were so wonderful with Skye. I couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter. Thank you so much for treating Skye like he was part of your family. If I need a sitter again, hopefully you are available. 😁”

“Ashi did an amazing job at watching my two dogs. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and video. They loved playing with her super sweet dog Simba and completely wiped each other out. Will definitely be back again.”
“River is amazing! If you're considering hiring her, do it. Zeus and I have been going to her for 2 years and the bond they developed was great! Unfortunately we moved so we will no longer be able to use her services, she'll be missed!”
About: I would love to help you out with your doggies! We always had dogs growing up. I’ve had dogs my whole adult life as well. I rarely have had just one and the most I’ve owned at once is 3. I’d have more if my husband okayed it! 😂 I am a teacher on summer break and have a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule. I would love to fill my days up with walking dogs! I am hoping to do some dog walking or playtime during the day, but I’m open to bringing them to my home to stay if needed. I currently have one chihuahua who likes to lounge on my couch. We have a regular client that we have about every other month. He is an adorable keeshound who loves to play. I have taken care of many types of dogs with varying temperaments over the years. I am happy to help you out!

About: Hi everyone, my name is Marissa! I am currently 20 years old and attending college at the University of St Thomas, but my hometown is Rosemount! While I have lived with cats my whole life, I love taking care of all kinds of animals. Along with experience with my own cats, I have experience cat/dog sitting and dog walking for other families. I have experience with elderly pets and administering medication as well if needed. Thank you for reading! I am currently a college student at the University of St Thomas but I am home for the summer in Rosemount so I have plenty of availability to watch your pets!

About: I have pet sat for family members and friends. I also have worked at Wag’n Wash and have a lot of experience with all different types of breeds and temperaments. I know how to properly handle and deal with most if not all situations. I am home for the summer from college in the middle of May, and after I’m home I will be free most of the week with some errands and stuff I have to do in between some days. So I will be able to house sit during the week or just take them on walks or check up on them, depending on what the client wants to do. I work weekends but am able to take breaks and stop by the house if needed. I will insure all the care is specialized to each animal and what service I provide for them. With each pet I will come up with a specific care plan for them and review it with the owner to insure they get a say in what happened while they are gone.
“Jaci has been wonderful for our puppy, Lilly! She met with us before starting to walk Lilly, so Lilly could get to know her. Jaci is also very patient and caring with Lilly. I love all the pictures and details about how Lilly did greeting her and walking with Jaci. I would highly recommend Jaci. We look forward to working with her often!”
“Carrie sent pictures and updates each day for walks and playtime and was very responsive. The dog was glad to have some company while we were away!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up around a veterinary clinic and have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 7 years, giving me hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Through both clinic work and pet sitting, I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, handling anxious or nervous animals, and working with puppies who may need extra supervision, potty breaks, patience, or routine reinforcement. I recently graduated from Bradley University and currently have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week and weekends. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits and can work around your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’m especially comfortable with pets who need more frequent check-ins, senior pets who may need extra attention, and puppies who benefit from structured routines and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I also love keeping owners updated and am happy to send regular messages and photos so you know how your pet is doing. Creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets is very important to me. Because of my 7 years of experience working in a veterinary clinic, I’m comfortable reading animal behavior, administering medications, handling nervous pets, and responding calmly in stressful situations if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medications, walk schedules, potty routines, and any special care requests so pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies since I was little. I treat them all like my own. If your animal has been requests I can accommodate. I work from home at night time so any time works for me since I have a yard for them to play and live life I don’t mind hosting them in my own or going to the clients home to assist the animals I take my own dog on a walk three times a day so if I am taking care of your dog they will get enough walks as well
“Yascha has been doing regular walks with our dogs for a few weeks now. Dogs are super excited when he arrives. Yascha has been very responsive and has been accommodating to all requests (harness type, protective dog clothing in inclimate weather, wiping dogs feet etc). Would definitely recommend Yascha!”
About: Hi! I'm Zaffer. I do pet sitting full time which means I can give your dog real, undivided attention, not a rushed 15 minute drop-in squeezed between other commitments. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting, and overnight stays at your home. I have hands-on experience with dog walking and pet sitting, and I'm comfortable with dogs of different energy levels and temperaments. I've fostered dogs with behavioral issues and volunteered at dog shelters, so I'm no stranger to nervous, reactive, or high-needs dogs. I know how to read a dog's body language and adjust rather than push. I'm calm, attentive, and take routine seriously. Feeding times, medication schedules, walk routes, and any quirks your dog has are things I'll follow exactly as you lay them out, not "close enough." Because I'm home for most of the day, I'm able to offer extended, low-stress visits or overnight stays where your dog stays in their own space, keeps their normal environment, and doesn't have to adjust to unfamiliar dogs or a new house. No boarding facility, no other pets, just your dog in their own home, on their own schedule. I check in regularly, I'm responsive to messages throughout the stay, and I send photo/video updates so you're never left wondering how things are going. Whether it's a quick walk, a few daily visits, or a longer overnight stay, my goal is to keep your dog's routine as close to normal as possible: same walks, same meals, same schedule, so the biggest thing that changes while you're away is who's holding the leash. Pet care is my full-time focus right now, so it's built into the rhythm of my whole day rather than squeezed in around something else. Mornings typically start with a walk, then check-ins or visits throughout the day depending on what each dog's routine calls for, feeding times, medication, playtime, whatever they're used to. Since I'm home most of the day, I have the flexibility to be consistent and responsive rather than working around a 9-to-5. For drop-ins and walks, I follow your instructions closely: feeding times, walk routes, medication, anything specific to your dog's needs or quirks. For house sitting and overnight stays, I treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, keeping doors locked, sticking to your dog's normal schedule, and making sure they have consistent company rather than long stretches alone. I check in regularly and send photo or video updates so you always know how things are going, and if anything unexpected comes up, I contact you right away rather than guessing. I'm also comfortable with dogs that have behavioral issues or anxiety, from my time fostering and volunteering at shelters, so I pay attention to body language and adjust rather than push a dog past what they're comfortable with.
About: I have a high-energy husky named Neko who created a lot of my recent experience. We go on daily adventurous hikes (although in the summer, less). He is my travel companion; I take him everywhere and you will rarely see me without him! He has taught me patience in the best ways. Prior to him, I have been an animal lover (mostly cats and dogs) my whole life. I have baby sat a puppy in the past, I know they are a lot of work but it is something I can do. I can do cat care as well, like the basics. Food, litter box etc. Expect me to be hanging out with your pet however they thrive best. If you have an active dog and the weather is good, we will probably be outside every couple hours. I work from home and take lots of breaks throughout the day with my husky, who typically enjoys lots of outside time. If you have a cat, they will potentially be sitting on my keyboard as I am trying to work, and we love that. I will follow whatever routines you have set in place already for a consistent experience so the pet is OK with their human being away. Also, it could be a good time to have new adventures on walks, likely on a leash and in public park or bike trail.
About: Since 2020, I've been providing dependable dog walking and in-home pet care for families in the Inver Grove Heights, West St. Paul, and South St. Paul areas. As a proud British Lab owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets the way you would. In addition to dog walks, I provide drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. Whether it's feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, administering simple care routines, playtime, litter box or cage maintenance, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. My Yard: 5 ft privacy fence entirely enclosing the yard and deck. My Pet: 65lb spayed female British lab who is passive and needs a meet & Greet before we accept Boarding Crating? I follow your routine so if you want them crated, I will do that (some parents teach dogs to be crated at night). I would only ever use it other than your specific direction if I were to leave the house to store, etc. Dog won't be alone long - I am home during days. My family: 2 adults, 1 teen, 1 kid in house. Scope us out! Come visit with your pup for a meet & greet! Boarding: Occasionally I do accept dogs to board in our home. The dog needs to meet & Greet our dog first (she is calm, passive spayed). I only accept dogs to boardthat are up to date on vaccinations. We have kids and stuff (socks, toys) lays out...if your dog will ingest socks or "eat" things laying out, this isn't a good Boarding match. I believe every pet has a unique personality and deserves individualized care, patience, and affection. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pets are safe, loved, and receiving the attention they deserve. I am flexible during weekdays, mostly for check ins, potty breaks and feeding. In evening and weekends I am open for walks, check ins and feedings. I follow your Pet's routine as you detail it! Walks I require a leash. I send you updates and photos from walks or check ins. My House & Yard: Occasionally, we accept dogs for boarding. That is only if we do a Meet & Greet first, and determine our dog (9 yr old, calm and passive British lab, spayed) is a match. We would only boarding a dog in our home that is up to date on vaccinations
“Gracie had a great time on her walk with Katie! Katie was great with communications working around some app glitches, punctual, and was very accommodating to Gracie’s neurosis : ) Will be walking with her again for sure!”
About: My pets are my entire world. Animals bring me so much joy, and I love making sure they are living their best lives. I'm so excited to meet your pets, and go for walks and enjoy the nice days with your pupper. I am also a volunteer case manager for Diabetic Cats in Need, serving sugar-cat parents around the country, and I have had several high needs and medically complex pets myself. I adore helping pet parents with their diabetic and senior animals. I'm comfortable pet sitting for animals who need pills, injections, glucose tests, sub q fluids, inhalers, feeding tubes, and other treatments at home. I have a very flexible schedule. I have a car and can travel reasonable distances. I am happy to come over during the day, evenings, and weekends. I will follow your routine so that whatever your pets are comfortable with, and used to, is how I will care for them. I can take them for walks, give them play time, and am comfortable giving medication or treatments when needed.
About: Growing up, I became the neighborhood pet sitter for all the dogs and cats on my block-- I loved it so much that I didn't want to give it up once I started teaching! During the school year, I can watch your pets if they are used to being left alone during the workday. During the summer, I am free to give your pets as much love and attention as they'll put up with! As a sitter, my biggest priorities are safety, routine, and communication. When I am house sitting, I try to follow your routine as closely as possible to try and make your pets feel a little more at ease, and I send lots of pictures to try and make YOU feel a little more at ease! I also love to spoil the pets I'm watching, so be ready for me to ask if your dog or cat is okay to have a pup cup anytime I'm picking up coffee :) As I said earlier, I am available in the summer to spend as much time as you would like with your pets. When I am house sitting, I treat it like I'm moving in for that time and will treat it as my home base so that I'm keeping your pets company, even if they're just interested in lying on the couch. I available during the school year (Late August- early June) if your pets are okay with being left alone for 8 hours. I know that sometimes pet parents worry about being too "high maintenance" with their pets' needs or quirks, but I promise that that is not a thing in my book! Whatever your pets' little habits and routines are, I will accommodate them as much as possible.
About: I’ve been around animals majority of my life. Mostly cats and dogs, how ever I have small animal experience aswell. I have always loved animals and become quick friends with them! I currently have a cat named Jerry and live with my mom and her two dogs. Throughout my life me and my family have had 9 cats and 5 dogs! I am an RN, I work clinic side pediatrics! I work m-f 8-5! Not gone super long and would able to give all my attention when back from work! I will respect your property and your schedule for how you have your pets in the home. I can and will let your pet out as often as they need and want. I can bring them for walks and play times. I know letting someone else in the home and taking care of your fur babies can be hard, but I can ensure trust and safety in your home and with your pets!

“Topsy cared for our dogs for 9 days while we were on vacation. She communicated frequently, sent photos often. She gave them lots of attention and made sure all their needs were met. Will definitely book with Topsy again in the future!”
“Sean and his family provided a perfect home away from home for our two poodles. He was very responsive and gave updates and pictures. I recommend booking with him and will be returning for future sitting needs!”
“After a recent bad experience at a local kennel we decided to give Rover a try. We were so lucky to have found Jordan and Morgan on our first try! Our Gracie came home happy, and more importantly healthy, after her 12-day stay, which for us was a long vacation. She was obviously well taken care of. We are so grateful! They also took good care of me by staying in touch and sending photos of Gracie. It was a gift to be able to enjoy our time away without worry. We will definitely board Gracie with Jordan and Morgan in the future. Thank you both so very much!”
“Our dogs were so happy and loved! They felt comfortable enough to show their personalities, and loved their new friends. Even our grumpy old man came around.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Tasha on Rover! We already knew Tasha, so we were confident our dog would be in great hands and she absolutely delivered. Her family helped out too, and it was clear our pups got tons of love and attention from everyone. Tasha kept us updated throughout our trip, and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog who clearly enjoyed his time with them. The sweetest surprise? They even taught him a brand-new trick! He’s been proudly showing it off. Highly recommend Tasha and her wonderful family to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾💛”
“First use of Rover, but Chelsie was a great introduction. She sent great pictures, enjoyed our dog and was very engaged in the pet having a good stay. Would recommend, we will be repeat customers.”
“Our dog, Cali, had a wonderful stay with Marine and Sean! They provided daily updates and pictures during her stay, and it was quite apparent that she felt "at home" when we came to pick her up when her extended stay with them was ending. We highly recommend Marine, and hope we are able to let Cali stay with them again in the future!”
“I felt comfortable so comfortable leaving my (2) year old kitten with Tess! She was so warm and friendly the minute I walked in the door!! And I was so happy Diego had 3 children to play with him!! I know he loved that!!! I will definitely use TESS for babysitting again! Thanks to Tess and Rover!!”
“Trudy, her family and their doodle were great hosts for my dog. They are calm and attentive, and they included my dog in their activities. I appreciated receiving daily photos -- I could see that my dog was content. Would definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”
“John and Teri were fantastic! They took amazing care of our quirky doodle, and we really appreciate their kindness, communication, pictures, and care! Would recommend them to any and all and will totally use them again! Thank you for giving us peace of mind while we were away! Bonus was a huge fenced in yard to let the 🐕 roam!”
“Brittany was a great fit for our pup. She was communicative throughout the booking and sorting process, had a good space for him to stay, and really welcomed him into her family while we were gone. Thank you!”
“Catherine and her husband took excellent care of our dog. Very communicative with pics, video and messages. Made us feel very relaxed with the care of one of our family.”
“My dog was well cared for - even pampered by being allowed to sleep on the humans' bed. She came home happy and a little tired after a weekend with Danielle's 2 much younger, more active, but very gentle dogs. Danielle has a very large, secure yard for the dogs to play in and explore. Between the outdoor space and the young dogs to play with, Flicka got lots of good exercise.”
“This was our dogs first time not staying with family while we were away. Beth made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her and sent lots of pics and kept us updated on how he was doing! We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Got frequent updates and our pup seemed to love the environment! Monika was very welcoming and understanding when it came to certain instructions with our dog will definitely go back for future stays:)”
“Rosie was very happy at Kyle’s. We saw some sweet photos of her during her stay. We appreciated your flexibility in picking her up too. Thanks much. We will definitely request to rebook with Kyle.”
“Cheyann is amazing! So sweet, kind, and gentle. I had no worries leaving my dog with her. I am using her again when I go out of town in a few weeks and again, I’ll have no worries. I will not hesitate to use her more or refer her to friends.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Venus with Brittni and her family. That feeling was validated after seeing the smiles on Brittni and my beloved Venus' face. We thank you”
