She even got my dog to eat, and she sometimes has anxiety being in new places. Amy sends pictures and updates of your pet. She did an amazing job!!”

During their first stay, she provided updates, sent pics and followed all of our care instructions. When my flight was delayed, she kindly agreed to a later pick-up.”

“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!”

Definitely gave us peace of mind knowing our new puppy was with a great family!”

About: I have grown up around animals and have always adored how wonderful companions they are. I grew up taking care of family members dogs when they went on vacations, which gave me early experience with feeding, walking, and general care. I also have some experience with cats from having one when I was younger and helping care for a few friends and family members cats over the years. I am comfortable helping with basic cat care such as feeding, litter box cleaning, and spending time with them. I have my own dog, Hadley, an 8 year old golden retriever. She is very spunky, sometimes a troublemaker, but very sweet. She loves walks and I have walked her for years and really enjoy doing so. Caring for her has helped me build strong experience with daily routines and understanding a dog’s needs. Within the past year, I started working at a shelter where I take care of dogs, including some with aggression and fear issues due to neglect and other reasons. I feed them, walk them, clean up after them, play with them, and give them love and attention while they wait to be adopted. That experience has taught me how to be around different types of dogs, adapt to their needs, and make sure our furry friends are always loved and cared for. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and patient when caring for animals. I always treat pets as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I look forward to the opportunity to help take care of your pets and give them the attention and care they deserve. Pet care fits very easily into my daily and weekly routine because my schedule is very flexible and open during the week. I am available throughout weekdays, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. On weekends, my availability is more occasional, but I am still open to working them depending on the need and advance notice. I am reliable with time management and make sure I plan ahead so I can consistently show up on time and give each pet the attention they need. Overall, having a flexible schedule allows me to be dependable and available for pet care while still maintaining balance with my other commitments. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and normal routine. I make sure to follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any specific care needs for each pet. For home sitting, I focus on keeping pets calm and comfortable in their own environment, making sure they get consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. For drop-in visits, I make sure all essential needs are met, including feeding, bathroom breaks, cleaning up if needed, and spending time with the pet so they feel cared for and not alone. For dog walking, I make sure walks are safe, controlled, and appropriate for each dog’s energy level and behavior. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort level, especially with animals that may be shy, anxious, or require extra patience. I have experience working with different types of dogs from my time at a shelter, which has helped me stay calm, observant, and adaptable. In addition, I respect the client’s home by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. My goal is always to provide reliable care so pets feel safe and owners feel confident and at ease.
About: I have grown up around dogs. I look after my neighbors dogs when they have a sporting event or vacation. I let their dog outside to go to the bathroom and when they are done I play with them for a little bit. I currently have three dogs, a black lab mix, a yellow lab mix and a papillon-jack russel. The papillon is my own and care for him everyday. I walk him, play with him and feed him. My schedule is open, so I am available when you need me to watch your pet. I am available any time of the day . My clients home normally have a fenced in yard and I do play with them so that they will get plenty of exercise. I can crate your pet if needed.
“Great cat sitting service from Emma, she stayed in our home with our multiple cats. They were happy and content when we got home, and the house was clean and fresh in tip top shape!”


“Amber went above and beyond to care for our two cats while we were on vacation. We added a few extra drop-ins last minute and she was quick to help out. She even watered my mums for me and brought my packages in! She was so easy to work with from start to finish and so pleasant to talk to. She will be our go-to for any pet sitting we might need in the future!”

“Amy is amazing! It’s always nerve racking leaving your babies but when you have someone as awesome as Amy all your worries disappear! Updates, pictures, seeing them running around and playing, so wonderful. I am forever grateful ♥️”


About: I volunteer at the Animal Humane Society where I work with cats every time I’m there. I make sure they have food and water and also just enjoy spending time with them to give them entertainment. I have had a cat of my own for 4 years and he is very loved and cared for.
“Alexis did very well with Husker. He is very leery of new people and she was patient with him. Was even able to get him to calm down enough to go for a walk. We have now hired Alexis for a 5 night overnight stay.”

“Osha did a great job taking care of my Surlee while I was away on holiday. He followed all my instructions, relieving me of any concern. I will gladly call upon him when needed. Book with confidence!”

“Great all around experience for me and my puppy. I received many updates and photos throughout the day. The location is lovely with a beautiful yard as well as a great indoor doggy area for playing and naps. I would recommend Kristy. She is calm and has a wonderful way of communicating with the dogs.”

“Christina helped with a same day request! She was prompt to respond and flexible with drop off and pick up times. As a first time puppy dog owner she put my mind to ease by sending lots of photos! Will definitely be using her again! Thank you!”

“Sophia was very kind and welcoming of our pup. We received pics and updates throughout her doggy daycare experience. I felt that our dog was well cared for and loved during her stay.”

About: No matter the breed or age of the dogs I have cared for, one thing remains the same - the love and affection they always share. I have over 25 years of experience caring for families' dogs and sometimes cats. I work remotely full-time from my home and am also able to work full-time from your home with Wifi. I am available to care for your pup(s) any day of the week. I have a large yard and will personally walk your dog in the yard as often as needed with a leash. I am available to take your dog for longer walks at least twice a day. I have a large indoor crate and dog beds if needed.

“Thomas and his wife are so welcoming and kind! They did absolutely amazing with our two month old puppy! They welcomed her with such loving arms! We can’t wait to rebook with them!”

“I can’t thank Liuba enough for taking care of Zoey. From the moment I met her I felt assured that Zoey was in great hands! Walks and playtime - Liuba made sure that Zoey got plenty of exercise. Zoey absolutely loved her walks and had a blast playing with Bruno. It was heartwarming to see how happy she was!”

“Karlee was great with Douglas! She was willing to take him for the day with just hours notice! Karlee sent pictures throughout the day to let me know how Douglas was doing. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Kelsey, a stay-at-home mom to two wonderful boys who love helping give dogs plenty of attention and affection. What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and approach to individualized care. I’ve spent several years working as an assistant manager at a large dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all breeds, energy levels, and personalities. That experience taught me that every dog is unique some thrive in social, busy environments, while others do best in a calmer, quieter setting. In my home, I provide a structured, low stress environment with plenty of attention, which is especially helpful for puppies, senior dogs, or pets who need a little extra reassurance. I focus on creating a personalized experience tailored to each dog’s needs, helping them feel safe, happy, and well cared for. In our home, your pet will be treated like family. I’m home throughout the day, so they’ll receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection whether that’s playtime in the yard, a relaxing nap, or lots of cuddles 💕 We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor fun, and I also have a gentle, well-socialized German Shepherd who loves other dogs. If your dog prefers space or a slower introduction, I can easily accommodate that to make sure they feel comfortable and secure.
“Dropped Teddy off for a couple hours of daycare with Lisa. She was so kind to him, took him for a nice walk and gave him lots of pets. He seemed to have loved his stay. Would definitely recommend Lisa to others seeking quality pet care!”

“Trinity was very responsive and helped us out for a last minute dog-sitting need. Communication and care were excellent, and Diesel the chocolate lab was such a friendly playmate for my dog.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner since the age of 8. I love taking dogs on walks, pet sitting and especially taking my dog to the off the leash dog park where she is happiest. I’m very good with all types of dogs and very patient. My wife calls me the dog whisperer. My weeknights are free and weekends are free. My wife works the opposite schedule as me so she is available during the day. It works for both dog walking and pet sitting. I have a very sweet Alaskan Husky who loves going to the dog park and is very sweet and very good with all types of dogs. We have a fenced in backyard and a pet friendly home. We have three kids who love dogs and 1 dog of our own. We love caring for dogs and getting them (and me) plenty of exercise.

“Amy started walking my dog twice a week and has been a blessing! Amy does an amazing job, has stellar communication, is trustworthy, and such a great person! Thank you, Amy!”


About: Have been around labs all my life. Looking to help anyone that needs to get some energy out of their dogs. I love to run and have no problem running with dogs either. I am used to handling larger dogs and more than one dog at a time also.
“Amber was a pleasure to work with. She communicated even minor updates, cared so much that she cleaned up a small excitement piddle on the floor, and other things she noticed as things to be aware of. She was kind enough to also move a delivered package indoors for us. We absolutely look forward to future care with Amber as the need arises.”

“Great communicator, was timely, and our mini poodle loved her - evident during the meet and greet. Walk went smoothly and she was able to get the pet gate up on the fly for us (it didn’t get put up that morning due to rushing out the door.”

About: I have always grown up with pets and I have loved taking care of them. I am also going to college to be a veterinarian. I currently work part time so I will have plenty of free time and my schedule will be very open this summer to take care of your animals. I will always make sure to respect your home whenever I am there. I will make sure it continues to be a safe environment for your animals.
About: I have a real love and passion for all animals. I have special skills in diabetes care for my sisters elderly cat and I have trained my own pups (Shar pei, lab pit bull mix and chocolate lab). I am currently a stay at home dad looking to make some extra money. I have pretty open schedule Monday- Sunday starting at 8am I am available. I currently have a miniature schnauzer and I let her outside hooked up to a chain and I go on multiple long walks around our neighborhood. I could easily crate your dog if that is what you prefer. I do keep little Buttons crate over night but that is by Buttons preference (she just loves her crate) and she roams free during the day.
About: Lifelong pet owner: I’ve taken care of a wide range of breeds and animals. Have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, lizards, turtles, and guinea pigs. I have 5 pets myself, so your pet(s) will be well cared for. I value connection and communication so you and your pets can be at ease. I currently work full time 11pm-7am, with every friday and every other weekend off. During the day any day I am available, so my schedule is good for any pet that needs some care during the daytime. I am available for overnight care on my days off though. I care for pets like they are family (because let’s be honest they are), following your instructions so your pet will feel safe and comfortable, and respecting your house as I would my own.

About: I may be new to Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and care pets need every day. I’ve also helped friends and family care for their dogs, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. What makes me different is that I truly treat every dog like family and want them to feel safe, loved, and cared for, not just watched. Since I am not in school right now, I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends! I’d love to help care for your pets and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I provide care for pets in my client’s home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and bathroom breaks, and I always try to make them feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I also respect my client’s home and keep them updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.
About: Hi! My name is Katelyn and I love working with all kinds of animals! I volunteer at the Animal Humane Society in Coon Rapids as a Animal Care Assistent where I walk, engage, entertain, and comfort dogs of all kinds and sizes twice a week. I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies and chickens my entire life. I just enjoy being able to give animals the entertainment, exercise and love that they deserve. I am currently a student-athlete at Northern Michigan University but am home for the summer in Elk River. I am available almost any day of the week and at almost any time to take care of your pet! My dog at home, Millie, is a very nervous dog overall so I am very patient and calm with her to make sure she is comfortable. I know when she wants to be left alone or when she wants to play or be pet. My cat is very independent but likes to be around people if he is not sleeping. He doesn’t love to be picked up or pet a lot so I just enjoy when he is present in the room.
