“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.”
“Loved working with Ashley, she always kept me up to date on how my dogs were doing, she took the time to understand the needs of each of them personally. She had an amazing set up in her garage so each dog had their personally space. Wonderful fenced in yard for them to be safe while having a place to have fun. Definitely would book with Ashley again.”
“Dior was so comfortable right away with Christine. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent pics of my girl so I knew she was good. Even got her a couple stuffies to destroy while she was there. Great experience! Thank you Christine! It was a pleasure”
“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!”
“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!”
“Our Gus came home happy and well cared for. We got lots of updates on him which we really enjoyed. Gus came home with an excellent “report card” from Renee, which was a super cute touch. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby 😊”
“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 :)”

We were so happy to know he was well cared for and will definitely have him stay again :) Thank you for keeping our pup cozy and happy!!”
“Outstanding. Totally recommend her, and I look forward to using her services more. Arlo, my mellow Husky, was so relaxed and content when I picked him up. She even sent several photos and updates during his stay.”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“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!”
“Mikayla helped me out when I was stranded in town for a funeral during a blizzard and my pre-arranged sitter canceled at the last minute. She sent me frequent photos and updates, and both pooches came back healthy and happy! Thank you so much for your help!”
“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.”

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.
“I believe this was the first time Kendra watched a cat before. I was very pleased. She contacted me when she had questions/concerns when she felt Charlie wasn't eating the way she thought he should, which is huge! This was Charlie's first experience with dogs and he seemed to settle in well. They were calm with there 1st introduction which shows that they are well socialized. After the third day there it seemed that Charlie ruled the roost tormenting the dogs...made me chuckle 😃. I will definitely use her in the future!”

“This was our second time having Jessica check on our cats with drop in visits, and this was for a 10 day trip out of the country so we were a bit nervous about leaving them so long. Jessica provided lots of updates and pics and overall did a great job. She made us feel much better about having to leave our furniture babies for so long. We really appreciate you, thank you! 😊”

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie—an animal care professional with 13+ years of hands-on experience and a lifelong passion for creating safe, enriching, and loving environments for animals of all kinds. My journey has taken me from the wilderness of Alaska*, where I raised and cared for a team of Alaskan Husky sled dogs, to leadership roles in animal welfare—working my way up to Operations and CSR Lead at an animal shelter, while also serving as a Client Experience Coordinator at a busy animal emergency hospital. In early 2025, I proudly founded my own rescue, Pawsitive Tales Rescue, where I continue to advocate for and care for vulnerable animals in need. Animals aren’t just my career—they’re my life. Whether I’m caring for playful puppies, senior dogs, shy cats, or medical-needs pets, I bring patience, experience, and genuine compassion to every animal I meet. My background in shelter medicine, emergency veterinary care, rescue work, and behavior gives me the confidence to care for pets with a wide variety of personalities and needs. When I’m not working, you’ll find me outdoors adventuring with my retired sled dogs and my corgi—usually hiking, exploring, or chasing the next view. The mountains have my soul, but my heart belongs to every kitty and pup I’ve had the privilege to love. If you’re looking for someone experienced, dependable, and deeply passionate about animal welfare, your pets will be in caring and capable hands with me. I can’t wait to meet your furry family. 🐾
“Kayla is FANTASTIC! She quickly responds to any messages, immediately responded to my booking, and remained flexible. On a recent cross country road trip I realized at the last minute our lodging I booked in Minnesota did not allow pets. Found Kayla on Rover while we were driving and requested her services. Within minutes she responded and we were able to work everything out. Kayla is very warm, accommodating, friendly and professional. Highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.”
“I was so nervous to leave MG alone but Rover has some great people and we are very blessed to have found out about this service. I was also especially nervous because MG is a rescue that I rescued myself and so not much information is known. So im still navigating and understanding her personality. She did so good with Valleri and im so happy that it went good. I also feel relieved MG has been able to go outside for a while and eat and drink. Thanks so much for all you do!!”

About: I work full time during the week. Monday- Thursday visits must be before or after work ** I have owned dogs and cats all my life, ranging from puppies to seniors. Currently, I have a dog and a cat, and I know how hard it can be leaving them when you go on vacation. 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. These are just some of the tricks my dog knows as well. I have had multiple dogs of different breeds (mutts, Doberman, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Weimaraner, Huskies, etc). I work full time during the week, but I still do morning and nightly visits after work ! I keep my availability up to date on the app as well. More than happy to do dog walks during visits, on weekends and most holidays. I treat your pets like they were mine. I love to have a care guide and meet and greet before the visits to help learn what your pets are used to so so can keep that as consistent as possible. I work full time Monday-Thursday and typically keep my schedule up to date regarding weekends. I would be available before and after work during those days with more flexibility on weekends. I care for my clients pets in their home just like they were mine. Let me know what your pets routine, likes/dislikes are so I can keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel more comfortable.

About: I have been helping my friends and family take care of their fur babies, I love animals and take care of them as if they’re my own family member. I’m a stay at home mom that is willing and able to help others when I am available. We enjoy being outside any kind of weather. My home is set up for taking good care of any dog. I have a good system to take care of any dog. If they have a lot of energy, I have a pup that loves to play, but can seem aggressive when someone new is in her territory, but warms up quickly. I’m a very active person myself and get outside no matter the weather!
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each dog or cat’s personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have experience working with both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I focus on reinforcing basic training like potty routines, crate training, and positive behavior habits. For senior pets, I’m patient and attentive to mobility issues, medication schedules, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. I’m also highly reliable and communicative—I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, structured routines, or gentle, attentive care, I adapt to what works best for them. Above all, I aim to build trust—not just with pets, but with their owners too—so you can feel completely confident while you’re away. I am currently working full-time but with my scheduling I am able to build time around pets needs. Each day includes feeding, walks or playtime, and general check-ins to make sure they’re healthy and comfortable. I live in home with a fenced in yard. All animals are allowed in all rooms as well as furniture. I do have a crate if need be and two friendly doodles to keep your dog company with lots of toys to play with!
“Alexandra is awesome! My dog had so much fun at her house for daycare! She sent updates and photos throughout the day and is quick to reply to messages! Will definitely bring my pup back to her :)”
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I trained numerous dogs through the 4-H Dog Project during my entire junior career, gaining a strong foundation in obedience, showmanship, and care. I also worked at a veterinary clinic and kennel all through high school and college, where I learned to care for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. Today, I train my own border collies for stock dog work, combining practical skills with positive training methods. Staying with me, dogs get more than just care—they get a safe, enriching taste of country life with plenty of fresh air, space to roam, and personal attention tailored to their needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I live and work full-time on the farm. I’m always close by to give dogs the attention, exercise, and structure they need throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, playtime in the pasture, or quiet time in the evening, caring for animals is just part of the rhythm here. With a consistent, hands-on approach, your dog becomes part of the farm family—never rushed, never overlooked. Your dog will have the company of my two friendly, well-trained border collies, who love meeting new friends and help create a fun, social atmosphere.

I’ve been around dogs of all sizes before, so I know how to cuddle the little ones and handle the big guys! I’m also an approved foster for a local rescue, so I’m used to having all kinds of furry friends coming in and out of my home. I have experience with shy animals and know how to help a scared pup settle in and feel safe. I hope you’ll trust me to care for your special furry friend! My husband and I work only a few days a week on opposite schedules, so we’re almost always available to be home playing and snuggling our furry friends! We love dogs, so it’s a priority in our days to spend time with them. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs on their level. I’ve worked with extremely under socialized animals, and also dogs that need to be kept separated from other animals, so I have the space to make sure every dog is comfortable during their stay.

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 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.

I take care of my clients pets just like my own. Kept well fed and exercised. Multiple walk during the day for the younger ones and a calm relaxing day for the elders.

About: I have always loved animals! I am a very experienced care giver when it comes to animals. I worked as a manager at a dog boarding facility for almost two years. During that time I learned how to administer medications, handle special needs dogs/elderly dogs, how to see the warning signs from aggressive dogs, how to handle K9 unit dogs, and much more. Next to that I also have my certification in grooming and training from ABC (Animal Behavior College). Lastly I volunteer at a non-profit called PawPads. They train service dogs from diabetic alert dogs to parapoligic service dogs. I have been doing that for almost 5 years now and absolutely love it. I miss working with animals everyday and hope to be able to do this on a frequent, part time basis!
About: Hi! My name is Rachel, and I’m based in the Saint Cloud area while attending the College of Saint Benedict. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have a sweet 1-year-old Maltese mix puppy named Crunch, and before him, I had another Maltese who was a beloved part of my family for nearly 12 years. I’m currently on a pre-vet track with the goal of attending veterinary school in the future. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets—whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, or just keeping them company while they're away. I also volunteer at the local humane society, where I’ve gained valuable experience with dog walking and general animal care. On top of that, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to do veterinary work abroad, further strengthening my skills and passion for animal health and well-being. I have plenty of free time during the summer, which allows me to offer flexible and consistent care throughout the week—whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. During the school year, I’m still available most evenings and weekends for pet care. In a client’s home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, regular walks, fresh water, and lots of play or cuddle time, depending on their needs and personality. I also take the time to follow any specific routines or instructions you provide.

“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.”
“Loved working with Ashley, she always kept me up to date on how my dogs were doing, she took the time to understand the needs of each of them personally. She had an amazing set up in her garage so each dog had their personally space. Wonderful fenced in yard for them to be safe while having a place to have fun. Definitely would book with Ashley 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!”
“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!”
“Our Gus came home happy and well cared for. We got lots of updates on him which we really enjoyed. Gus came home with an excellent “report card” from Renee, which was a super cute touch. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby 😊”
“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 can't say enough about Amanda! We felt so good leaving Jojo with Amana and Bailey for 5 days! What an enjoyable vacation we had knowing our fluffball was so well taken care of. THANK YOU, AMANDA!”
“Theresa took such great care of our dog Tank, he was very comfortable and loved his time with her and her fiance! Theresa sent us daily updates and photos during his stay. We were so happy to know he was well cared for and will definitely have him stay again :) Thank you for keeping our pup cozy and happy!!”
“Outstanding. Totally recommend her, and I look forward to using her services more. Arlo, my mellow Husky, was so relaxed and content when I picked him up. She even sent several photos and updates during his stay.”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“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!”
“Kayla is FANTASTIC! She quickly responds to any messages, immediately responded to my booking, and remained flexible. On a recent cross country road trip I realized at the last minute our lodging I booked in Minnesota did not allow pets. Found Kayla on Rover while we were driving and requested her services. Within minutes she responded and we were able to work everything out. Kayla is very warm, accommodating, friendly and professional. Highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.”
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.
“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.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each dog or cat’s personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have experience working with both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I focus on reinforcing basic training like potty routines, crate training, and positive behavior habits. For senior pets, I’m patient and attentive to mobility issues, medication schedules, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. I’m also highly reliable and communicative—I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, structured routines, or gentle, attentive care, I adapt to what works best for them. Above all, I aim to build trust—not just with pets, but with their owners too—so you can feel completely confident while you’re away. I am currently working full-time but with my scheduling I am able to build time around pets needs. Each day includes feeding, walks or playtime, and general check-ins to make sure they’re healthy and comfortable. I live in home with a fenced in yard. All animals are allowed in all rooms as well as furniture. I do have a crate if need be and two friendly doodles to keep your dog company with lots of toys to play with!
“Diesel had a great stay with Madisen and I’m so thankful to have found her! She was so kind and sent lots of photos of Diesel enjoying his stay. We will definitely book with her again!”
