“Emily and her family are amazing! They took such wonderful care of my two little puppies. I was nervous to leave them with new people because they are so young but they did such an amazing job with them and I'm so thankful for that! Emily kept contact, sent pictures, and was so good to them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to book a stay with a Rover sitter.”

“Christine is a very sweet sitter! She communicated great prior and during the stay, and was flexible and understanding with me arriving a bit late to drop off and pickup due to traffic. She sent pictures often and made me feel like Ollie was enjoying himself and being well cared for. Her house is currently under renovation, so it was a little disorganized but she set up a great space for Ollie in the living room where he had lots of space to play and rest. She also gifted us a homemade dog blanket and a new jar of peanut butter! So sweet, thanks Christine.”

About: I work with all kinds of breeds and behavioral levels involving large and small dogs. I have experience working with dogs that are trained working dogs and personal protection. I take my work very serious when it comes to safety. I am certified through animal behavioral college as a dog trainer along with certified in canine and equine massage therapy. I run my business from home so I am able to make my schedule very flexible. I am very easy to work with providing open communication if changes need to be made for my clients so they feel reassured choosing me to care for their pets. All pets must be up-to-date on vaccinations and a copy of vaccinations must be brought at time of appointment emergency contact lists must also be left with pets. I am also in Netwerk with local vet clinics in case of any emergencies. Any animals with special needs must be listed before time of drop off, and any specific dietary restrictions must be listed along with daily care, schedules set by owners with their pets to have during their care.

About: My first mommy gig I ever had was when me and my husband introduced Saydie, our fun loving, energetic pup to our siblings and friends. That was 13 years ago and now I have 4 human babies and Saydie is still my side kick! She loves being a big sister! I want to first and foremost want to let you know I don’t see pets as “just animals”. They are family, best friends and loving, feeling beings that crave attention and affection from the people who take them into their homes. I know how important my Saydie is, I know how important your special one is to you! In every activity listed, i will take pride and joy making sure your pup is treated with dignity and respect. If they have special routines I will make sure outlines are strictly followed while making sure they and yourself are comfortable with the schedules. I have been through all the fun (and sometimes crazy) early puppy years with my Saydie, feel at ease knowing I will help with my best ability to make sure your pup gets through obstacles unharmed and of course, always having a ton of fun in 5e process! I’ve been through potty training many times (6 to be exact, if you count my human babies! Ha!) and am aware of the little extra time needed for you to become happy and satisfied with their status. Potty breaks a few extra times for your little fur baby, especially if they are right in the middle of training process my yard is not fenced in but it’s not too small and there’s enough space for a long yard leash to have outside time and my neighbors are very respectful, they are already used to my dog, so there won’t be any issues there. I will come to your residence to check on them or visit them. I have NO criminal background and I know how extremely imperative it is that your home is respected and cared for. Everything will be exactly as it was when you left it and I will make sure your place is locked down safely and your little fur baby is managed before I leave. I want you to feel at ease knowing everything is being well watched while you can’t be there! I am up 6am-10p everyday for my own family, I would love to invite yours to visit when your away! My children are ages 4-9 and they absolutely LOVE all kinds of animals! They are very well educated in the proper ways to behave around animals and how to handle dogs with extreme care. They love meeting new furry friends! Call or check in anytime while your dog is in my care! I want to involve you as much as I can so you are comfortable with my services! I know how leaving them can sometimes stressful for not only you, but also them. They will know they are welcome in my home. Looking to fill my day time hours with bookings for pet care. All my children attend school 9am-430pm Monday - Friday every week!! I love dogs and I lmoromkzs kn nccchhchhh No fence around my yard, but there is a long leash that makes it possible for your pup to get enough safe space while outside for whatever reason.

About: My love of animals started at a very young age. I grew up on a farm with many dogs, cats, and horses. I look forward to caring for your fur babies as if they were my own. I know it can be difficult to leave them, but know they are in excellent hands. I work as a nurse so I do have some extra time off during the week/weekends. I am mostly available early mornings or the late afternoons/evenings. On my days off, I can be flexible! I am here to accommodate yours and your fur baby’s needs! I will provide a fun, yet safe environment both on and off leash. I would want the best care for my pet as well.

About: Already when I was 10 years old I had my first foster dog in the neighborhood . The owner went to work all day and so I went after school to her house and picked up Anuschka to go for a walk. We spent the whole day together and I always brought her home when the owner was back from work. For all trips beyond that I charge 50 cents per mile. For Meet and Greets in the owners home I’m charge 50 cents per mile. Your dog /cat is in good hands. I will take good care of your pet. Read my reviews for more information about me. Thank you!

About: Oh my gosh, where to even begin... :) I started and built, Girl Meets Dog Pet Care Services - Chicago, from 2000, through 2018 (I’m relatively new to doing this in the Rover route, so most of my reviews are posted on other sites), when I became too ill with Lyme Disease, and needed to move back to my hometown to be closer to my family until I became well enough to get back on my feet. Now, I have little home in Spicer, MN, with a big deck and a fenced in yard. I work from home (fashion reseller) so it's me and my big sweet Ni'ta Girl, a 9 year old 100 lbs. of Great Pyrenees sweetness), little Henry (dog loving little 4 year old Bichon-Shih Tzu), hanging around here all the time, so we've decided it's time some other sweet kids get to come soak up this perfect dog loving life with us! I so miss having a house filled with 'nieces and nephews' for me to dote on and spoil rotten, so, if your kid deserves to be treated like like true children (or even better than that, in my book ;)), then this is where they belong. I had clients that called it 'going to camp' when they were coming to stay with us (it's just me, and my fur kids here. Note: due to Nita’s senior age, we don’t take any ‘high energy’ doggos at this time, but all others are welcome!). Since I work from home, I am home with my dogs and kitty 95% of the time, so I am able to provide all the love and company to visitor kids they could possibly want. I do daily walks and have a fenced in yard. They own the place. I just live here and dote on them, basically. :) I am almost always here (at most I'm gone for a 4 hour stretch 2-3 times a week).

“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: Since day one, I have always had a dog in my life. A cat in my adult years and a few other critters throughout the years. They are all family! All my dogs have always been a big part of my life and I care for them deeply. Family/Friends have trusted me to care for their pets when needed. I am always happy to lend a helping hand, or a lap to cuddle on, an arm to throw a ball, or even lacing up those tennis shoes for a walk. I currently have a “teenager” (6 year American Staffordshire Terrier… major cuddles, playful, very sensitive stomach) and recently our senior Luna past over the rainbow bridge. I am patient and have energy for any requirement you may need while your babies are in my care. Working from home, I am quite flexible most days. I am an early riser and stay up late. So feedings, playtime, bathroom breaks, etc is not an issue for me. We have 5 acres of unfenced land to run around in. I also have a very large fenced Garden the dogs are allowed to roam in for off leash fun, as well as a sizeable wrap around deck to chill on and soak up the sun. We are outdoor people, so are our dog(s), so if it’s nice, you will find us out and about. With our training they do well to stay within our property and listen well if running around the yard. Communicate if your dog(s) need to be leashed (also have a leash line setup between trees to enjoy the outdoors as well). I would hope in any environment that your pets are trained and do well in the space provided or within, please communicate any special concerns, etc. I do have experience with “shock” collars for more so the ‘tone’ button, as we have wildlife and woods surrounding our house, we use this to protect our dogs from our surroundings periodically throughout the year. So I am comfortable using this method to ensure your pups stay safe.

I’ll treat your pup like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐶❤️ We can’t wait to meet you! I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize calm, attentive care and always follow the routine and instructions provided by you. I provide a safe, comfortable home with a fenced-in yard for outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine and care instructions closely, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.

About: I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. My love for animals started when I was young, walking dogs for neighbors and friends, and it quickly grew into a lifelong passion. As I got older, I volunteered at my local humane society and have continued providing trusted pet care for pets ever since. I have extensive experience working with dogs of all temperaments, including reactive dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who may show aggressive behaviors. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment for every dog in my care. In addition, I have experience with housebreaking as well as basic obedience training, and I’m happy to help reinforce routines and good habits during your pet’s stay. I have experience with house breaking and basic obedience training. I work part time from home which gives me a lot of flexibility to do what I’m most passionate about which is taking care of animals!

About: Oh my gosh, where to even begin... :) I started and built, Girl Meets Dog Pet Care Services - Chicago, from 2000, through 2018 (I’m relatively new to doing this in the Rover route, so most of my reviews are posted on other sites), when I became too ill with Lyme Disease, and needed to move back to my hometown to be closer to my family until I became well enough to get back on my feet. Now, I have little home in Spicer, MN, with a big deck and a fenced in yard. I work from home (fashion reseller) so it's me and my big sweet Ni'ta Girl, a 9 year old 100 lbs. of Great Pyrenees sweetness), little Henry (dog loving little 4 year old Bichon-Shih Tzu), hanging around here all the time, so we've decided it's time some other sweet kids get to come soak up this perfect dog loving life with us! I so miss having a house filled with 'nieces and nephews' for me to dote on and spoil rotten, so, if your kid deserves to be treated like like true children (or even better than that, in my book ;)), then this is where they belong. I had clients that called it 'going to camp' when they were coming to stay with us (it's just me, and my fur kids here. Note: due to Nita’s senior age, we don’t take any ‘high energy’ doggos at this time, but all others are welcome!). Since I work from home, I am home with my dogs and kitty 95% of the time, so I am able to provide all the love and company to visitor kids they could possibly want. I do daily walks and have a fenced in yard. They own the place. I just live here and dote on them, basically. :) I am almost always here (at most I'm gone for a 4 hour stretch 2-3 times a week).

About: I can provide a safe quiet home for your pet to visit when you’re away. I work from home and spend the days with our almost 8 year old boxer mix, Aggie. We love taking walks to the park near our home and we have a small fenced in back yard with a privacy fence. Aggie gets along with almost every dog and will sometimes play. She can be pretty vocal when she plays but is otherwise super quiet. She’s a great role model for younger dogs :) I work from home so I am usually home with the pets for most of the day. We take daily walks when the weather is good. We have a large dog crate if your dog needs. Our yard is fenced in and dogs wouldn’t usually be home alone for more than a few hours.

About: My first mommy gig I ever had was when me and my husband introduced Saydie, our fun loving, energetic pup to our siblings and friends. That was 13 years ago and now I have 4 human babies and Saydie is still my side kick! She loves being a big sister! I want to first and foremost want to let you know I don’t see pets as “just animals”. They are family, best friends and loving, feeling beings that crave attention and affection from the people who take them into their homes. I know how important my Saydie is, I know how important your special one is to you! In every activity listed, i will take pride and joy making sure your pup is treated with dignity and respect. If they have special routines I will make sure outlines are strictly followed while making sure they and yourself are comfortable with the schedules. I have been through all the fun (and sometimes crazy) early puppy years with my Saydie, feel at ease knowing I will help with my best ability to make sure your pup gets through obstacles unharmed and of course, always having a ton of fun in 5e process! I’ve been through potty training many times (6 to be exact, if you count my human babies! Ha!) and am aware of the little extra time needed for you to become happy and satisfied with their status. Potty breaks a few extra times for your little fur baby, especially if they are right in the middle of training process my yard is not fenced in but it’s not too small and there’s enough space for a long yard leash to have outside time and my neighbors are very respectful, they are already used to my dog, so there won’t be any issues there. I will come to your residence to check on them or visit them. I have NO criminal background and I know how extremely imperative it is that your home is respected and cared for. Everything will be exactly as it was when you left it and I will make sure your place is locked down safely and your little fur baby is managed before I leave. I want you to feel at ease knowing everything is being well watched while you can’t be there! I am up 6am-10p everyday for my own family, I would love to invite yours to visit when your away! My children are ages 4-9 and they absolutely LOVE all kinds of animals! They are very well educated in the proper ways to behave around animals and how to handle dogs with extreme care. They love meeting new furry friends! Call or check in anytime while your dog is in my care! I want to involve you as much as I can so you are comfortable with my services! I know how leaving them can sometimes stressful for not only you, but also them. They will know they are welcome in my home. Looking to fill my day time hours with bookings for pet care. All my children attend school 9am-430pm Monday - Friday every week!! I love dogs and I lmoromkzs kn nccchhchhh No fence around my yard, but there is a long leash that makes it possible for your pup to get enough safe space while outside for whatever reason.

About: Hello, I grew up on a farm and have lived with animals all of my life. I have cared for kittens, puppies, goats, cattle and chickens. I grew up with Aussies and am currently very active with our dog, Rylee - although I am a cat person at heart. I would consider myself an animal person through and through. My significant other also has a huge heart for animals. Our three pets are the center of most of what we do. I work in office Monday to Thursday each week. I am off each Friday and am available most weekends. My significant other, Brandon, is my partner in this and he works from home all week. Your pet would have his company and care while I work in office! We live in a spacious, two bedroom apartment. There are sidewalks and a paved walking path near our apartment that we frequent. We are also discovering local parks! Our complex offers a fenced dog park. I feel exercise is highly importantly for furry friends. Our apartment is clean and quiet. We give dog treats to Rylee (our dog) often. Our pets receive lots of love and yours can expect this too! We have two cats in our apartment too - Maggie and Frankie. Frankie loves dogs with her whole heart and Maggie typically keeps her distance while we pet sit.

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.
