“Our Goldendoodles stay with Ben and Jennifer was nothing but positive! We felt so at ease leaving Walter in their lovely home. Such a nice neighborhood and a big fenced in backyard—perfect for fetch! We received plenty of updates and it seemed as though they sincerely enjoyed having him around. We will always consider Ben and Jennifer for the future. So much better than having your pup kenneled up all the time while away. Thank you for taking such great care of our fur baby!”

We highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter!”

About: I have always been around animals and have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and even birds. I really enjoy taking care of all animals and providing excellent service. My family has a bird, two shih tzus, and a cat. I have frequently been around bigger breeds as well so I am comfortable with any-sized pet. I have experience walking other people's dogs and pet sitting for family and family friends. I am busy this summer preparing for college in the fall, but I wanted something that I care about to fill some of my free time. I am also saving up for college expenses. I would love to make pet sitting/walking a major part of my life. I would be able to watch pets at the owners' home. I will be able to watch them overnight, and or come over to check on them as well as taking walks and playing with them.
About: I’ve always loved all animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs! Whether it’s playtime, feeding, medication if needed, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and have experience caring for family members’ cats while they were away. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, providing playtime and companionship, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I’m happy to adapt to their needs—whether they love attention and play or prefer a calmer, quieter approach. My goal is to give both you and your cat peace of mind while you’re apart.
About: I have loved cats for my entire life! I have a weak spot for siamese cats especially! I had a diabetic cat as a teenager! I foster cats from time to time and I help feed the strays and keep them dewormed! I try to domesticate kittens a couple of times a year so during those times I won't be taking cats for rover but I will keep my page up to date!

It will be a pleasure walking and caring for your pets! I am currently a stay at home Mom so my availability is very flexible.

“Ben & Jen were very helpful in taking care of my nervous rescue dogs in helping them get socialized. Ben is very patient and I appreciated them letting my dogs come to their home. Ben was responsive in keeping me informed. Ben & Jen both seem super nice!”
“Michelle was great! She helped me out with a last minute request. Arlo had a great time staying at her place. I would definitely recommend boarding with her! Thank you so much Michelle :)”
“Maple is a quarky dog so he can a lot at times. Takes him a bit to settle in and enjoy new surroundings. Matt and Angela were awesome and so welcoming. Takes a special person to open their home and help out others. They are the best.”
About: I am set apart from the other sitters because I have knowledge and experience in the medical field. I was a Vet Tech and have my degree before I became pregnant. I have cared for senior dogs and have a 20 year old Chihuahua. I’ve loved animals since forever. I have a deep passion for helping animals. Your dog will be treated like family while you are away. I provide a safe, comfortable , and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing you pup is happy and cared for. I have a Vet Tech degree but I currently just had my first baby 9 months ago so I am at home watching her, but I would love to get back to caring for animals. I believe I was put on this Earth to nurture and care for animals. One of my favorite things to do is train dogs. I get so many complements on how well my dogs act. I would love to help anyone struggling with behavioral issues. I know how stressful boarding can be. That is why I want to make it as stress free as possible. Our dogs have their own area in the basement so they will never come into contact with your pups and we take walks daily. I also have worked in Vet clinics and know how to give medications and first aid care if needed. I take my boarding very seriously and am committed to making your dog feel the most at home. I finished schooling to become a Vet Technician and than became pregnant. So currently I am at home with my 9 month old. I am eager to get back to caring for animals but also would like to spend time taking care of my daughter as well! I have four dogs and three cats. Our dogs do really well with other dogs but our German Sheperd can be a bit shy at first because he was attacked as a puppy. I know how stressful it can be housing your dogs with other dogs, so to easy your mind I have turned our basement into a dog only zone with toys/kennels/treats where our dogs will stay when I am boarding other peoples dogs, So that they never have to intact with each other. They will be let out separately as well. We don’t have a fenced in yard but we have a decent sized yard and your dogs will be leashes outside at all times.
“Rhea was fantastic with Dodger! I needed a sitter within two hours of reaching out to her and she made it happen. Very grateful for her. She's great, trust her with your pup.”
About: Relocated here from Iowa. Enjoy working with different dogs. Pet lover. I completed 6 months of Veterinarian Assistant classes online. Life happened and I had to take a pause. But I am thinking about going back and finish obtaining my associates degree in the field. So whether it be house sitting with the animals or simply doing some walking or activities, I don't mind and will enjoy my time with them. Its something I enjoy as one of my hobbies. I am available during the week days. Every other weekend I work night shift at this time. I enjoy play time with pets because they too have different personalities. Love Dogs. We cuddle mostly and play. Take walks outside. Play fetch with their toys. It's cool to go to the backyard and be socialable with nature. I think it helps with sensory awareness.

“Andria's family and dog are all very friendly towards my puppy. Nori had a blast there. He got home and fell asleep within 30 minutes, so I didn't have to spend a lot of time playing with him in the evening:) Andria also captured a few great photos of Nori running in the snow with his new friend. Love the photos!”

“I absolutely loved my experience with Andrew. My husband had major surgery and our Winnie got a little stir crazy at the hotel. Andrew treated her with such love and care. He treated her like one of his pack members. I have never left my dog with anyone but family before so I was a little nervous. After a couple pictures and texts from Andrew I could tell he had been spending quality time with Winnie and knew her quirky personality. We have to come to Mayo Clinic often for testing and I will not hesitate to use Andrew's services again!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

About: HELLO! I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from pups to senior pets who have special needs. I have done stuff like this ever since I was in middle school. I am very flexible with my time. I do have a cat allergy but that won’t stop me from that either! I’m always here to help you’re best friend 😊 Im very flexible with my schedule for a couple months! I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣
