Personalized care for your dog or cat - Olivia

“Kay took wonderful care of our pup while we were on a cruise. Tons of pictures of his happy times and destroyed toys. 10 out of 10 would use again!”

“Jennifer took great care of my pampered dog. He's an only child at my house, but Jennifer's dogs and family made him feel right at home. I will definitely see if she is available the next time I travel to Minnesota and need boarding!”

“Pete had a GREAT time with Colette! He came home super happy and very tired from all the playing. Colette was great with updating me on how Pete was doing and being very flexible for drop off/pick up. My trip extended very last minute and Colette was very accommodating. I can’t wait to bring Pete here again in the future.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my home for most of my life and have decades of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’m especially comfortable with large and giant-breed dogs and understand the extra attention, space and patience they can require. I currently have Great Danes of my own, so big dogs are absolutely welcome here! I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, medications, senior dogs and the everyday care that comes with making a pet feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own while they’re staying with me. My work schedule rotates, which gives me several days off at a time and plenty of time at home with the dogs. I keep my Rover availability updated so I only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats and am especially comfortable with large and giant breeds. I have two Great Danes of my own and understand introductions, supervision and giving dogs their own space when needed. I’ll follow your pet’s normal feeding, exercise, medication and sleeping routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home.

About: Hello everyone! My name is Shelly, and I’m excited to care for and work with your beloved pets. I grew up on a dairy farm, where caring for animals wasn’t just a chore—it was a way of life. From milking cows to raising chickens and pigs, and always having a dog and numerous cats around, animals were at the heart of my daily routine. Those early experiences taught me responsibility, consistency, and the importance of attentive, compassionate care. Today, my husband and I run a small hobby farm of our own, where we care for horses, chickens, our beloved dog Luna, and many kitties. Animal care continues to be a central part of my life and is something I truly enjoy. I have also completed additional training and worked extensively with my own horses and dogs. Having been around animals my entire life, I have experience providing a wide range of care, including assisting with livestock deliveries (calves and swine), administering medications, and caring for animals with medical needs, including those associated with aging. I also frequently care for the pets and farm animals of friends and neighbors. I can't help but develop a special bond with each animal I care for. Working with animals is one of my deepest passions. I love to travel and explore the world whenever I can. Through my own experiences, I’ve learned how challenging it can be to find someone who is not only trustworthy, but also experienced and comfortable caring for both household pets and larger farm animals. Having peace of mind while you’re away is invaluable. My goal is simple: to give you the confidence to travel, work, or attend life’s events without worry, knowing your animals are safe, well cared for, and treated like family. I look forward to serving our community and building trusting relationships with both you and your animals! Currently, I am home full-time and available 24/7 from June through August, which allows for a very flexible schedule. I return to my full-time position during the last week of August. At that time, my availability will vary, with weekends generally offering the most flexibility. From September through June, my regular work hours are Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. I am committed to working with pet owners to accommodate their needs as best as possible and will do my utmost to ensure your pets receive the care, attention, and consistency they deserve. My pets are part of my family, and I provide them with the highest level of care, love, and attention possible. Their well-being is one of my top priorities. When caring for someone else's pets, I treat them as if they were my own because I understand how much our animals mean to us. I also recognize how important we are to our pets and that being separated from their owners can sometimes be stressful for them. My goal is to provide the comfort, care, and attention they need while maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I make every effort to follow all instructions and preferences provided by pet owners to ensure their pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.

“Kristina really provides exceptional care for my 2 dogs! One of my dogs is blind and the other is a puppy. It is obvious that she truly loves dogs gives them special attention. She is kind and meets their individual needs. I am so happy to have met her personally on a meet and greet. Looking forward to more bookings in the future!”

About: I’ve had animals in my house for basically my whole life. I grew up with all kinds of animals in my home. I’ve gotten puppies that I had to train, and even older dogs that needed a refresher. I’ve always had birds, cats, and dogs! I’m available full-time and I will always try my best to accommodate your needs! Animal care comes first and I will make sure your pet gets everything they need while you’re away. I will always give 100% and treat your baby like my own. I will be respectful and responsible when in your home. I’ll follow any directions you give about how to care for your furry friend :)

“She was great! She was on time, sent us lots of pictures, kept us informed on everything, and went above and beyond. Our dog was content and happy when we got home and we are very appreciative.”

About: I have had a kitty since I was 5 years old. I am able to care for several cats and don’t mind scooping the litter boxes.

“Monica did well with dog sitting 2 dogs of ours. I had a family memorial to attend to in Minnesota. I live in Iowa. It was great to use Rover to find someone in Minnesota to watch our dogs while we had to attend for this. Monica asked questions before we came to MN, about one dog’s diet and health issues. One dog had pancreatitis in the past and we had to be careful what she can eat. Monica was very knowledgeable about those issues, and that was reassuring to me. She sent a few pictures of the dogs activities, kept up to date about food, water intake, potty business and nap times to us. Sent us Rover cards on those details! If you need a sitter from Rover in Minnesota, check her out! 🙂🐾”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I naturally bring from working as an active CNA. I’m patient, observant, and dependable, and I understand how important trust and consistency are when someone else is caring for a loved one — including pets. I’ve had animals my entire life and currently care for two cats and three dogs of my own, so I’m comfortable with different temperaments, routines, and energy levels. I pay attention to small details, respect each pet’s personality, boundaries and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I do over night shift for my job. I’m available from 8:00am to 10:00pm on the days I work. I’m available all day on my days off. For walks, drop in and so much more with every other weekend care to keep your pets happy, safe, and well cared for! I treat every pet like part of my own family. As a lifelong animal lover with two cats and three dogs, I understand that each pet has a unique personality, routine, and care needs. I’m patient, attentive, and gentle, providing playtime, enrichment, feeding, and potty/litter care while following your instructions carefully. I also provide updates and tons of pictures, probably too many!

About: I have been around animals my entire 33 years of existence. I grew up raising German Shepard's with my dad. I have no problem working on basic commands and potty training. I work full time (occasionally from home), but I am available to run over to let your animals in or out to potty before work and around lunch time. After 6pm & on weekends, I am home all evening/night so I can keep your fur baby comfortable as well. I have a gated area in my front yard for my own friendly fur babies, they can keep yours entertained. :-) We go on frequent walks when the ground is cool.

“Bailey has been amazing with Winnie! She’s always on time, takes great updates pictures, and trains Winnie while they walk!!”
