Maisie was such an amazing help to us! She was very attentive to our newly rescued dachshund and was extremely communicative with us during the sit. She really cares about the pets she sits and we had a great experience with her helping sit Sophie while we were away for Thanksgiving. We will absolutely be booking her again, thank you! 🩵

Lynn was GREAT!!! I have had the same sitter for about three years so I was very nervous to live my Millie with someone new, but Lynn made me feel very comfortable! You can tell she’s an animal lover. After meeting her, I knew Millie’s safety and comfort was going to be #1. When I picked Millie up, she was jumping on Lynn like they had know each other for years. Highly recommend!!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years through friends, neighbors, and family. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just extra cuddles and attention. I also understand how important communication is, so I always send updates and photos to help owners feel at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I always try to accommodate each pet owner’s routine to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have a cat who I’ve had for 4 years. I have always had a passion for animals and try my best to be in tune to their languages. I currently own one cat, which requires pilling. If you have a pet that needs a gentle and loving sitter, or even someone to play and keep them stimulated, then I would love to take care of them! I am currently working full-time as a social worker and I am available from 6pm to 10pm Monday through Friday, and 24/7 availability on weekends. I try to let the kitties/puppies take the lead within reason. I like to try to engage them and play, but I will be gentle and calming if they are showing signs of stress. I’m very observant with body language and try to accommodate for them while still maintaining structure.

About: Hi! I’m Aleah, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for pets. I grew up in a home with 6 dogs and 3 cats, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention, I’m comfortable with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a dog of my own, which has given me even more experience with daily care, exercise, training reinforcement, and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reliable companion while you’re away, I’m happy to provide personalized care to keep them comfortable, safe, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Because I currently have open availability, I’m able to be flexible with scheduling and can accommodate last minute bookings, extended stays, and pets who need more frequent attention throughout the day. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I have the time and dedication to focus on providing reliable, attentive care for every animal I watch. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space, providing regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind. I make sure pets get the exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship they need while maintaining a clean and secure environment. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and pet friendly environment where they can relax and feel at home. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and needs, whether they prefer active playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a quiet place to rest. My goal is always to ensure pets are happy, healthy, and stress-free while their families are away.

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! I've been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes for over a decade — from tiny kittens to large breed dogs like my own lovable Cane Corso. Growing up surrounded by cats and dogs sparked a lifelong passion for animals, and I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. Whether your pet is high-energy or more laid-back, I’m confident in creating a safe, loving, and fun environment tailored to their needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love to meet your pet and make sure they feel right at home while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! I work a typical 8–5 job Monday through Friday, but I always make time for animals. I have a one-hour lunch break each day, which I use to go home and let my dog out, give him attention, and make sure he’s happy and comfortable. After work, you’ll usually find me walking, playing, or training with him—it’s one of the best parts of my day. On weekends, I’m completely available and fully dedicated to pet care, whether that’s watching over pets in my home or visiting yours. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-attended to. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you have. I’m patient, observant, and always respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. I also give regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands while you're away.

Baylea has been so good with my cat, Nubi! It's been his first time with someone looking after him and she did great with him! She did so well following my instructions to feed him, giving him space and talking to him! She said he let her pet him which he doesn't allow many people to do. I was very happy to hear things went well. I will definitely be using her again!

On top of looking after them, she was able to do some miscellaneous things that came about due to certain circumstances. It really give you a peace of mind when you can rely on someone to look after your fur babies. Thanks Kasandra!

About: I have taken care of cats and kittens for as long as I can remember. From helping out with grandma’s barn cats to spoiling my own, I’m well equipped for any situation! Cats need more attention than most people assume, and I’ll be sure to make sure your precious kitty isn’t neglected while you’re away. With me, they’ll get never-ending snuggles (if they so desire), play time, and a clean litter box! You’ll also get plenty of photos during your time apart from them! I am experienced with easy, picky, disabled, old, young, and grumpy cats. Some like lots of TLC, others need their space! I’m adaptable to their needs :)

I'll make sure your fur babies feel loved, happy, and healthy. I am reliable and compassionate and excited to take care of your babies while you are away.

Whether it’s walks, pets, or cuddles, I’m able to be present and responsive to their needs. My priority is to ensure the safety so I will first check for fencing and leashing preferences of the family to ensure we are safe. I’ll also seek to understand all relevant home rules as they relate to pets and preferences.

About: I've been dog sitting on and off since my 20's. Most were co-workers and family. I walked, bathed, brushed and given medicine, both orally and topical as required. I'm currently retired and can dog sit 7 days a week with advance notice. I can also day board as early as 7am and pick up as late as 6pm. If different hours are needed I can be flexible. I have a very large home where your dog can roam freely inside. However, I don't have a fenced in yard. I do have a secure tie line attached to my home. Your dog will never be left outside by themselves as I will be there with them.

About: I grew up with pets in my home and now have 3 cats, a dog, and a bearded dragon of my own. I have been taking care of pets of all kinds as long as I can remember and truly love what I do. I have years of hands on experience caring for pets, and pet care is now my full time focus. This allows me to be fully available and dedicated to the pets in my care year-round. I offer dog walking, boarding, daycare, drop-ins, and house sitting, so I’m able to support you and your pet no matter what your schedule looks like. I live in a home with a large yard and a very active, pet loving household. I’ve been with my boyfriend for 10 years, and we also have three younger siblings in the home, so there’s always plenty of attention, playtime, and affection to go around. Your pet will never feel lonely here! If your pet prefers to stay home, I will follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. I’m comfortable with high energy dogs, as well as pets who prefer a calmer, more relaxed environment.

About: I’ve been caring for pets longer than I can remember - from helping grandma with her horses and barn cats to spoiling and training our own dachshund puppy and two amazing kitties - I am well equipped for any situation. Some background for me: I was born and raised in Alaska! There I took care of cats of varying abilities/disabilities/age, dogs of all sizes and abilities/disabilities/age, and fish! There’s been instances where I have stayed over a month to look over a special needs cat, and dug my car out after a heavy snow to make sure a hyper puppy gets a good hike in! I’m adaptable and communicative - you can be sure that I’ll send you plenty of photos and videos of your pet while you’re gone! Now I’m here in Minnesota to finish college, start life with my new husband, and take care of the pets in Southern Minnesota! I’m currently still a student! But I have Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends for the most part completely open! Otherwise, I will make sure to check in on your pets between classes to ensure they don’t go more than four hours alone. I can’t have a pet in my apartment right now 😭 but when I’m back home in Alaska, we had a fenced area for our dog while she was still with us, and we have two full-time indoor cats. We love to spoil our animals - lots of love, kindness, and a patient environment. Just positive reinforcement and steady routines over here!

About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I have the biggest soft spot for them, and I have two dogs of my own. I have had my own dog since I was about 19, but have had outdoor farm dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been around dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals for as long as I can remember. I am patient, detail orientated and I truly just love spending time with animals. Big or small, I love them all! I do work during the day, but I have the ability to pop out if/when I need to. I am free evenings and weekends. My schedule can be flexible if needed. I have a dog friendly home. To me this means there’s nothing but toys on the ground. Garbages are hidden and I am very aware of what is around my animals. I also have a dog park in front of my apartment!

About: We have had the pleasure of owning a small business called "Pet-Inn" and boarded many dogs! Me and my mom took care of others dogs for quite some time and really enjoyed it. This experience helped me become passionate about entrepreneurship as well as working towards a compassionate connection with your pets! I currently have a part-time small business I'm running apart from being a "SAHM" so I will have plenty of time to get to know your beloved pet and get to know them so I can take care of them in the best way I know possible! I have some free time in my schedule, so finding a slot during the week to care for your pet works well for us. I have a now 6-year-old who adores small dogs, cats, and other animals! I am well aware of the responsibilities of pet care, but I want to emphasize that your pet's safety is my top priority.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young. About 10 years ago I started watching animals for Family and Friends while they went on trips. I usually stay and watch the animals since I work from home I will be with the animals most of the time. I can also drop in and let animals out if needed. I’m very flexible. Working from home gives me that availability. I’m able to stop over and let animals out if needed as well. I can feed, walk, give meds etc. I care for the animals in their homes. I’m unable to take care of them at my house. A lot of my friends and family prefer that so the animals don’t have to change their environment.

About: I have grown up with two lovely pups in my house. I helped taking care of them and even helped in training our hunting dog! I love being around animals and especially dogs. I am currently a college student I go to school at the university of Minnesota state Mankato. I am majoring in sports management with a minor in marketing. Moving back to college means I’m away from my dog at home. I am not ready to commit to getting a dog of my own due to living in an apartment, but I wanted the opportunity to be around dogs. So, that’s when I found rover and thought it would be perfect for someone like me! I give a lot of attention to the dogs and of course love to take them on long walks as I am quite active myself.

I love to create warm environments for doggos and give them space to be themselves. I currently work part time, but I can pet sit Fridays-Sundays and Thursday afternoons at times. I may be able to do drop-ins during the week. I can dog sit at the client’s houses and am willing to help crate train, gives baths, walks, and provide other various care services. I might be able to at my apartment, but have a dog myself and would likely need a meet and greet.

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years, including dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require extra attention, medication, and a gentle touch. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, or just providing comfort and companionship, I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and happy. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and calm, caring nature. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their personality. I’m reliable, communicative, and always go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I fit pet care into my routine during my free time, usually in the mornings and evenings during the week, and more flexible on weekends. I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent routines, and lots of affection. I follow specific care instructions and prioritize the pet’s comfort and well-being.

About: Hi! I’m Aleah, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for pets. I grew up in a home with 6 dogs and 3 cats, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention, I’m comfortable with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a dog of my own, which has given me even more experience with daily care, exercise, training reinforcement, and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reliable companion while you’re away, I’m happy to provide personalized care to keep them comfortable, safe, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Because I currently have open availability, I’m able to be flexible with scheduling and can accommodate last minute bookings, extended stays, and pets who need more frequent attention throughout the day. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I have the time and dedication to focus on providing reliable, attentive care for every animal I watch. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space, providing regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind. I make sure pets get the exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship they need while maintaining a clean and secure environment. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and pet friendly environment where they can relax and feel at home. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and needs, whether they prefer active playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a quiet place to rest. My goal is always to ensure pets are happy, healthy, and stress-free while their families are away.

That could be going on walks, feeding them, and playtime. Most importantly I want them to be comfortable with me so do that I think it is important to do things with them that they are familiar with.

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! I've been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes for over a decade — from tiny kittens to large breed dogs like my own lovable Cane Corso. Growing up surrounded by cats and dogs sparked a lifelong passion for animals, and I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. Whether your pet is high-energy or more laid-back, I’m confident in creating a safe, loving, and fun environment tailored to their needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love to meet your pet and make sure they feel right at home while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! I work a typical 8–5 job Monday through Friday, but I always make time for animals. I have a one-hour lunch break each day, which I use to go home and let my dog out, give him attention, and make sure he’s happy and comfortable. After work, you’ll usually find me walking, playing, or training with him—it’s one of the best parts of my day. On weekends, I’m completely available and fully dedicated to pet care, whether that’s watching over pets in my home or visiting yours. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-attended to. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you have. I’m patient, observant, and always respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. I also give regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands while you're away.
