“We have never boarded our dog Jax before so Nathan and Laura and there kids was our first!! It could not have went any better !!! The family loves animals , they have an excellent yard for a play area , and the overall attention they gave our dog was perfect!! It’s good to know that we have a great option for the next time we have to board our dog.!!! ?”
“Winnie comes home from Peter’s happy and tired. She gets lots of loving from Peter and Barb and she gets time to socialize with other dogs. These folks are truly animal lovers. ❤️”
“Kylee and David are excellent pet sitters! I don't have to worry at all when our dog is with them. He gets to go on adventures and lots of walks. He comes home happy and sleepy! :)”
“Nicole was very good with Opie and flexible when I requested an earlier than scheduled pick up time. She communicated well. Opie was a very happy dog when I picked him up.”
“I boarded my 2 labs with Jamie and she took exceptional care of them with frequent updates and pictures. Obviously I wasn't there, but it seems to me that she took care of them like they were her own. Strongly recommend! Wouldn't hesitate to bring them back.”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with Reka! She kept me updated with great communication, photos, and regular updates. Reka received so much love and attention from Heather, her kids, and even the neighbors. She had a blast playing with other dogs and was truly treated like a princess. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend!”
“Casey took great care of our dog. Lily suffers from separation anxiety and he made sure that she felt secure. He sent us many pictures to assure us of the wonderful care that she was receiving. Lily will be a repeat quest in Casey's home.”
“Patty did an outstanding job with our dogs! She managed to communicate with us daily even though we were out of the country and difficult to get hold of. When one of the dogs became ill, Patty handled everything perfectly and went above and beyond to ensure that our pets recovery went well. Her pet handling skills were evident and very much appreciated! Highly recommend!”
About: I am currently working towards a bachelor's in Animal Behavior and Welfare, as interacting with animals and learning about them is a passion of mine. I greatly enjoy learning to care for them and then doing so. The degree im working towards is focused on the care of animals while educating the public about them. I grew up with a dog and have had many small animals as pets throughout my life, rodents, fish, insects, arachnids, frogs, etc. Currently I have 3 reptiles and two cats. Willow-Wisp, and Boiled-Egg are my cats. My corn snake is Copper, Blue Tongued Skink is Little-Dude, and Tripod is my leopard gecko. Both Boiled-Egg and Tripod have medical conditions that require at home management and care which has given me some skills in caring for animals with disabilities. They are not the only animal I have history caring for with medical issues either. Many of my experience with pets has been rescue pets, and I have had plenty practice and patience regarding them and behaviors post trauma. I am more than willing to learn about your pets needs and help medical or otherwise. I am currently focusing on college and have plenty of time to help care for your animals. The only day I will be unavailable is Sunday. I have a fenced in yard and half the house closes off by doors so the cats will not interact with your animals unless you are comfortable with it. Depending on your animals preferance I can ensure that I spend time with them or give them the space to feel comfortable and settle in. Any and all expectations set regarding their care and what food, toys, or treats they are allowed will of course be followed. I may have treats of my own I could offer them but will only do so with your approval and in amounts you allow. I do haveextra food and water bowels if you would prefer to use those rather than bringing your own. In the case something awful were to happen I have experience bringing animals to emergency.
“Carley and Ferris took great care of my dog Fawn over a holiday weekend. They have a great setup and treated her like one of their own. Carley was very responsive and kept me up to date. I would definitely recommend them!”
“My Sadie is still trying to recover from another great weekend with Mike! I love that he took her along on his weekend adventures to Park point and out for Pizza along with the daily walks that she requires. She is always so tired after spending time with Mike that she falls asleep in the car on the way home! A big shout out and thank you to Mike for being an exceptional pet care giver!”
“Emily saved our family vacation, and helped our sweet girl with separation anxiety come out of her shell! If catastrophizing was an Olympic sport, I’d be the undefeated Gold medalist. I automatically assume something will go wrong, so after plans for our dog’s care fell through right before our vacation, I was irritated with my husband for even suggesting Rover. I was certain, it wasn’t was possible to find someone Piper could meet, develop a relationship, and truly enjoy staying with—for 5 whole days, and on that short of notice. She’s a great dog, but she needs to know where my husband is at all times. That’s why I couldn’t believe he thought she’d survive a week away from him! Let alone after being plucked out of her home and left with complete strangers! I knew I’d have to stay home, and there was nothing Rover could do about it. I thought we were wasting our time, but I had been looking forward to that vacation for a year, so I wanted to be sure there was no way to make it work before accepting the loss. After coming across Emily’s profile, I I held my breath, and told my husband I was willing to schedule a meet-and-greet. Eveything about her experience, living arrangements, and family life looked perfect on paper, but the “glass is totally empty” part of me spent days insisting it was destined to fail. Imagine our surprise when the “absolutely not”, quickly shifted to talks of mutual friends, laughs, and knowing they were exactly who we were hoping to find!! We absolutely loved getting frequent photos chronicalling Piper’s adventures! Seeing how much fun she was having helped ease our minds, and allowed us to enjoy our time together as a family—without having to worry if she was being treated well! One after the other, each picture reminding we had nothing to worry about! We should just enjoy ourselves, because Piper was having too much fun, participating in too many activities, and soaking in immeasurable amounts of love and attention to worry about when we’d be back to pick her up! I don’t know about you, but I think that’s all a nervous pet owner could ever ask for. Thanks again for everything! We can’t wait to book with you again soon! Pat & Laura Larson”
“Took care of my 6mo pup who was recently spayed. Made sure she didn't expend herself and irritate the incision, which is impressive considering my pup loves to jump and play with other dogs.”
“As always, Jai had a fantastic time with Amber. She will take care of your pet like her own. You can relax and go on your vacation and even forget you have a pet (like I did 🙈)”
“Wonderful experience for our pup and for us. As a nervous mom I was put at ease with not only how comfortable our dog was in her new environment but also with all the wonderful updates and pictures throughout the visit. Truly a wonderful, caring and responsible environment!”

“Talia is very professional, highly communicative, and very responsible. I felt very comfortable with my baby in her hands. She medicated my cat like a pro. She made the effort to do the things my cat enjoys like being walked! My place was left clean. I'm definitely booking Talia again!”
“Courtnie did a great job taking care of our 2 cats! She was timely in her drop in visits and provided pictures and a thorough overview in the report cards. We would gladly have her watch our cats again!”
“Adriana took very good care of our pets and they loved spending time and playing with her! She communicated with us very well and worked with us if we need to modify the schedule. I would definitely recommend her services.!”
“Kimberly was the absolute best to work with! I felt really comfortable leaving for the holidays knowing Leroy would be well taken care of. Each visit, Kimberly sent beautiful pictures of their playtime and videos of Leroy chatting. I will definitely be booking with her again”
“Love love the in home visits with Rachel A. She also took the appointment on really short notice and went way beyond expectations!!! I’m am so happy and so is my boy buddy! Thank you so much Rachel! I think she loves my boy 🤗”
“Excellent service, Sav sent updates for Mimmie and was precise and punctual and cordial - was timely in response and flexible.. was very kind and gentle to Mimmie : will definitely use her service again. one of the best we ever had on Rover as we have used the service many times for vacation. Randy A.”
“This was our second time booking with Sabrina and her daughter! We appreciate them so much, they always do such a wonderful job checking on our cats. We will definitely continue to book with them!”
About: Hi! My name is Abigail, and I’m 24 years old. I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always felt like second nature to me. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, including dogs of all energy levels—from high-energy breeds that need structure and engagement to calm, easygoing companions like golden retrievers—as well as cats with a variety of personalities. I’m comfortable adapting my care to meet each animal’s unique needs. I currently offer in-home pet sitting, providing attentive care in your pet’s familiar environment so they can remain comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also provide basic training support and walking assistance, especially for owners who may need extra help keeping their pets active and well cared for. I’m open to caring for other animals as well, such as birds or reptiles, as long as clear instructions are provided to ensure their routines and needs are met properly. With availability during the second half of my week, I’m excited to grow my pet-sitting business long term. My goal is to earn trust, build strong relationships with both pets and owners, and eventually turn my passion for animal care into a full-time career. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I look forward to connecting with interested pet owners and would be happy to answer any questions. Wishing you a wonderful day! I currently work the first half of the week but am available after 4 PM on Wednesdays and anytime from Thursday through Saturday. With this flexibility, I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets during my off days. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions provided by the owner. I keep a clean, pet-safe space, supervise pets at all times, and never introduce new animals without permission. In a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I pay close attention to pets’ body language and behavior to keep them comfortable and stress free. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“Taylor is amazing! She was incredibly professional and communicative, giving timely updates and regularly sending pictures of our very happy cats. She went above and beyond to accommodate us during a storm-extended vacation and we couldn't have been happier with the care she provided. Part of me doesn't want to give this rave review because I don't want other people to have her booked during our future vacations, but alas, she really deserves it! 10/10, would book Taylor again.”
“Chrissy did a wonderful job caring for my 3 mo. old kitten! She sent regular pics and updates so I knew he was doing well. In addition, she stayed at my house and took great care of it. Would recommend her highly!”
About: I have done some pet sitting for a few cat loving friends. While I can't say I am the most cat savvy, if you need someone to stop by and feed your feline friends and scoop the poop I can certainly manage that :) Any advanced cat care like giving meds successfully is probably not in my wheelhouse.
“Julia took such good care of my cats, and they warmed up to her right away. It is so nice to get the regular reports and pictures, didn’t have to worry about them at all and could just enjoy my vacation. I will definitely book Julia again when I leave town.”
About: I've cared for a total of 8 kitties in my lifetime, from the daily feeding and litter scooping to claw trimming to intensive palliative care, and the 12 weeks of injections for Minky's FIP (she is totally healthy now!), and Poppy's twice daily epilepsy meds. I can handle any and all of it! Now I have 3 cats. Moki, my 16 yo boy, Minky, who's 3, and Poppy, the youngest at 2 years old. We all love our play sessions, whether that's with their wand and feather toy, their colorful springs, or exploring the outdoors in their harnesses. I will prioritize play if your kitty is comfortable with it!
“Christina is wonderful with animals and very professional. She took care of my two cats and hamster while we were on vacation. She was reliable and kept me informed about the status of my animals. She communicates very well. I already booked our next vacation with Christina watching our pets. I recommend her 100%!”

“I really didn’t know what to expect from using an app to find a sitter for my exuberant 7yo GSD. While scrolling through the site, I was surprised by how many qualified people were offering their services! I quickly found who I needed, largely due to Rover’s platform, which I found to be both concise and intuitive and extremely well thought out! Fast forward to meeting with our prospective sitters, Nate & Laura. I instantly felt confident that this was going to be a good choice for me and my guy Rukus. I am happy to report that upon finishing our first week that everything went incredibly smoothly. Nate & Laura’s friendly, professional, calm vibe are exactly what I had hoped for in a sitter for my guy! I also really enjoy the pictures that they share with me! If I could give my pup’s host family more than 5 stars, I would. If I could give this experience - the app, the process, the people more than 5 stars, I would do that too!”
“We had a last minute plan change so we were really lucky to find Peter to take care of our dogs. They had such fun at his place. Will definitely recommend Peter!!”

“Rachel and family are the absolute best! Could not ask for better people to take care of Luna! They do a great job of exercising and playing with her! She always comes home exhausted.”
“Casey was great with my pup! I was in town for the weekend and needed a sitter and I am so glad I chose him! So knowledgable, flexible, and has a great home for my pup! Will definitely use him again when I need to!”
“Nicole is great to work with. She is very good with my dog. She takes him to dog parks and on walks and when he comes home, he is tired! She is knowledgeable and has shared some tips with me which I really appreciate. She communicates with me during the day and sends lots of pictures. I am very grateful to have found her!”
“Patty S. took good care of Marvin! Patty was very accommodating with a short notice scheduling and also some last minute changes in pick-up time. We look forward to having Marvin stay with her again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Savannah (or Sav for short!) and I’ve worked in pet care for 6 years in Minneapolis before moving to Duluth, resulting in completing hundreds of walks and dozens of sittings- and I love what I do! I also am the dog mom of a spunky 11 year old German Shepard mix. I understand the need for detailed and compassionate care, especially in the winter and summer when extra resources like dog boots or extra water may be needed. The pets I’ve had in my care lately range from pit bulls and labs to pugs and even older dogs. I am excited to meet your dog! I spend all day, everyday walking dogs of all ages and breeds. Pet care is my full time job and I love what I do! Many dogs feel most comfortable in their own home so I am happy to provide sittings in your home to care for your pet the way you would! I have experience training and specific requests, like administering medications. I always will treat your pet with the utmost care and respect!
“My dog had a fantastic time at Jamie's! He got to play with lots of toys, go for walks, and lounge around with new human buds. He went back a second day and was excited to see everybody, which is always a great sign! Jamie & her husband have a knack for dogs and are clearly comfortable with their quirks. I absolutely recommend them for all your dog care needs!!”
“Heather and her family did such an amazing job with Edie. They helped her ease into a new environment and gave her lots of love and affection. Heather sent many updates during the day and in all the pictures Edie looked happy and content. When Edie got home she was exhausted from a day of fun. I would recommend Heather to anyone looking for care for their pup!”
“Madisen did an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING job with my puppy, Rosie. I could NOT be happier! I felt comfortable with leaving my puppy with Madisen, especially since I know I have a bit of an anxious puppy. But Madisen handled Rosie really well, and I could tell she was happily exercised when I took her home. I cannot recommend Madisen enough, and I will definitely trust Madisen to take care of Rosie again! ♥️”
“Courtnie is absolutely fantastic! My little guy is usually a bit skittish when going to a new home for day care but he warmed up extremely well with Courtnie and her dogs! She is super accommodating and incredible when it comes to the care of dogs, very highly recommended her! Thank you so much!! ?”
“Not only were Aneesa and Ethan super flexible with working out pick-up/drop-off times, but Chester also came home SO happy and obviously well taken care of during his stay. Can't wait for the puppies to hang out again!”
About: i’ve always had such a soft spot in my heart for animals, even scaly friends too! I myself have had animals ranging from cats and dogs, to snakes to fish and rats.. and as you can imagine, they all require some very different needs! i ALWAYS make it my goal to care for each individual animal the best i can, after all they deserve it! I’d love to make taking care of your furry friends my main priority! I have open availability during the week and will be home all day with them, wether it’s your home or mine (: I do have 2 dogs of my own, so unfortunately i do not have availability for overnight stays. I always make it my biggest goal to let animals know how loved they are! I am willing to accommodate to you and your pets needs to ensure the safety of me, you, and your pet! My 2 dogs have me wrapped around their pinkies (toes? paws? 🤷🏻♀️) and i’d do anything to make sure they’re happy. I treat every dog in my care like my very own. I understand leaving your dog in the care of somebody else can be nerve-racking, especially if it’s in somebody else’s home. You worry about wether or not your sitter is going to leave them alone during the day, or if your sitter lives on a busy street, or if there’s a chance your dog gets loose.. i understand all of these! A home visit is a must and i’d be happy to show you where your furry friend will be staying, and what a typical day looks like!
About: I have two cats of my own. My tuxedo lu has been around since I was super little, I’ve carried her with me everywhere i go! My fluffy boy moo was a rescue a few years ago, he’s a big sweetie. I have a dog named ollie that I share custody of with my mom. he comes with me on all of the road trips and hikes. I’ve sat for family members and people in my area since I was 15. I also have reptile experience caring for chameleons and snakes. I’m here for any pet! Taking care of animals is my passion ☺️ I do photography full time so my schedule stays pretty flexible. I’m typically available on holidays! I don’t mind to travel a little for your furry friends, so don’t worry too much if you’re far away! I love spending most of my time with my cats. No matter what I’m doing—they’re at my feet or on my lap. My cat moo comes on hikes with me! I enjoy getting fur babies out of the house into the world. I have a dog cover on the back seats in my car. I will always reach out to ask before traveling with your dog, this is not necessary, just an offer! :)
“Lori was awesome. I was traveling up to Duluth from the cities and needed daycare for my dog for a few hours in the evening. Lori was flexible, kind, and clearly has lots of experience with dogs. I felt safe and good knowing my dog was in her care. I also received several pictures throughout the evening. I will most definitely go through Lori again should I need doggy daycare again while visiting Duluth. Much love, Lori, and thank you!!!”
About: I am usually always home, I love to go on little adventures to stretch our legs! I will always update you with lots of pictures! Work has currently slowed down so I am home almost 24/7. I like to get out for walks/adventures when I can. Just looking for something to help me get out more! I can follow any instructions you have for me and do a lot more than just walk the dog, I can care for cats or even some house plants:)

About: Hi, I’m Tia! I’ve been around animals my whole life—our family had dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, and even a ferret. I started dog-sitting back in college, and I’ve been a proud pet parent ever since. My husband and I currently have three rescue dogs, including one who is deaf. I’m experienced with senior pets, special needs, and giving medications. After 20 years in healthcare, I shifted my focus to something I’ve always loved: caring for animals. I left the medical field in 2024 and started my own pet care business—and I couldn’t be happier. I’m compassionate, calm, and reliable. I understand how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal like family. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or special care, your pet will be in loving hands with me. I left healthcare in 2024 to follow my passion—caring for pets full time. I run my own pet care business and love focusing my days around dogs! I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and care. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing always come first, always, every single time. 🐾
“I received a cuter pic of my dog sitting so pretty than I’ve ever been able to take. Sav was punctual and had good communication throughout. I know my dog is in good hands. Will book again!!”
“We are grateful to have connected with Lori for dog care. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time at meet and greet to get to know our pet. We would definitely recommend Lori!”
“Audriana is fantastic! She gives my updates of how my puppy is doing on his walks and sends me pictures. She also gave me over a months notice when she was going to be out of town and not able to walk my little guy. Would HIGHLY recommend Audriana.”
About: I have two dogs of my own, both golden doodles, who I take care of daily! I do daily feedings, walks, and brushing. I have experience in both daytime check ins and overnight stays with dogs. I am very active and enjoy taking dogs on walks, running around the backyard, or just relaxing in the house! I am flexible in the work I do and can’t wait to meet your pet:) I am currently a college student attending UMD! I have a flexible schedule with classes and am available to do a variety of check in times! :) I care for my own pets by taking them on daily walks, creating activities that engage them, and brush their fur. I will care for clients pets in whatever ways are necessary for the specific animal!
“Amber is the best! I'm so happy with how it's going with my pups! My chihuahua-dachshund is impossible to walk but just a couple of weeks of walking with Amber and he's walking without pulling!!”
About: I've been around pets my whole life from growing up with 3 dogs to adopting a sweet black lab Diamond as a young adult. Diamond passed away in April of 2023 and I've since got my dog fix dog boarding for friends, family and Rover clients doing one of my all-time favorite things - running, adventures and play with dogs! I pride myself in sending lots of photos and updates with consistency, taking time for a daily walk and run (if they're up for it!), and providing a safe space (no other animals or kids living in the house, fenced in yard, dog-proof everything, etc...). I have a flexible schedule, I try to run daily anyways, and my house is dog-proofed with a fence. I'm ready to provide a safe, comfortable and fun space for your pet to get quality care and exercise. I live in East Hillside Duluth with great access to paved and off-road walking/running routes. My house has a fenced in yard and I have cultivated a pet-proof home over the years. I am a strict on-leash walker/runner.
“Christina is wonderful with our 4 month old puppy Dolly. She has been very helpful in the training and socializing processes. She is very kind, patient, courteous and responsible. Christina communicates all needs or issues respectfully. Christina does her best to accommodate any changes to Dolly’s walk schedule. We feel 100% confident that Christina cares for Dolly as if she were one of her own. My husband and I can not say enough good things about Christina. If we could we would definitely give her way more than 5 stars. We would 100% recommend Christina to all of our family and friends.”
“Courtnie is so detailed and so loving to our pup! Fantastic updates throughout the weekend we were gone and we would absolutely hire her again! Thank you Courtnie, Aria is so grateful!”
About: I simply adore animals! I will provide loving, playful, patient, high quality care that will leave your fur babies begging for more! I am able to administer medications and general care as specified. I also offer nail/claw trims for dogs and cats for $20. Just check the bathing/grooming box. I prioritize play, so even drop ins will get plenty of entertainment! Supervised puzzle feeds, or playing with favorite toys, or whatever pops up in the moment. Pup-led play is usually the most fun! My schedule is fairly open most of the time, but I am going to be starting trade school to become a barefoot specialist for equines sometime in 2026. I need a flexible work schedule so I can trim my case study horses, and the horses I already trim for a friend. - REGARDING OVERNIGHT STAYS! My rates are for ONE 12 hr overnight visit. If you need me for consecutive nights with drop ins during the day, my rates increase to cover each drop in. Walks, nail trims, daily brushing are also an additional cost. These additional charges will be discounted, not my full rate. Let's discuss it 😃 My kitties and I enjoy a peaceful life out in the country. We're new to it, and it's not our house, so I am not currently offering boarding or doggy daycare. I am incredibly respectful of others' spaces. I follow the 'leave no trace' hiking guideline into clients' homes! I respect privacy and will never invite strangers in or take photos for any other reason than to update you, the owner.

I am able to do anything to make your pet feel loved, safe, and comfortable in my care. This will require clear and direct communication about your pets character and habits to ensure your pet is happy and comfortable.
About: Hi! My name is Mara, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and your home while you’re away. I have grown up with multiple dogs and have always loved being around animals. Over the years, I have also provided dog sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family members, caring for pets in their own homes, following their routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I will take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience providing more specialized care, including administering IV medication for an elderly animal I was watching. This experience taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attention to detail, and following care instructions carefully. My background working in childcare, summer camps, and other safety-focused roles has helped me become dependable, organized, and attentive. I will treat your pets like they are my own and your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently a full-time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I am happy to work with your pet’s routine to provide consistent and reliable care. I care for pets by keeping their routines consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow all care instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I treat each pet and home with the same respect I would want for my own. I am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.

We know how difficult it can be to leave your home and pets for any length of time, and our goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away. We truly enjoy spending time with pups and love meeting families in the Duluth, MN area. A little about us: we’ve both grown up with family dogs of all sizes, from small to large breeds. We have a 2-year-old, 15-lb female Cavapoo named Maasy. She is very friendly, loves other dogs and children, and does wonderfully welcoming new furry friends into our home. We offer boarding and 1:1 care in our home or house sitting and overnight stays in your home. Our home features a big, beautiful yard and is located in a neighborhood that’s perfect for safe, enjoyable walks. We’re very active and are happy to provide 1-4 walks per day along with plenty of outdoor playtime. Kyle works remotely, which allows us to provide attentive, 24/7 care any day of the week.

About: Living on a farm, I have a lot of experience interacting with animals of all kinds. Running a farm of any size is not a one person job so my family is a big part of my life. I can’t imagine a better place to live doing something I love. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Whether it is feeding and watering our chickens and cows or grooming our dogs, I work hard to ensure our animals are cared for. I am a stay at home mom so your four legged friends will rarely be left alone. I work hard to follow any instructions owners may give me. Additionally, I make sure all animals in our care have access to food, water, and love. I also like to take a few pictures of what we are up to send them to people so they know their pet is getting loved and cared for.
About: I’ve been taking care and walking a lot of dogs since elementary school and know a lot about pets body language and how they work. Pet care fits into my schedule on the days that i’m off work from my part time job, message me and see what days you need me for and i’ll make it work for you! I know a lot about body language and how to read the signs of what they’re feeling meaning that I can give them what they need in the moment. Following instructions to best take care of your furry friend.
About: I have two cats of my own. My tuxedo lu has been around since I was super little, I’ve carried her with me everywhere i go! My fluffy boy moo was a rescue a few years ago, he’s a big sweetie. I have a dog named ollie that I share custody of with my mom. he comes with me on all of the road trips and hikes. I’ve sat for family members and people in my area since I was 15. I also have reptile experience caring for chameleons and snakes. I’m here for any pet! Taking care of animals is my passion ☺️ I do photography full time so my schedule stays pretty flexible. I’m typically available on holidays! I don’t mind to travel a little for your furry friends, so don’t worry too much if you’re far away! I love spending most of my time with my cats. No matter what I’m doing—they’re at my feet or on my lap. My cat moo comes on hikes with me! I enjoy getting fur babies out of the house into the world. I have a dog cover on the back seats in my car. I will always reach out to ask before traveling with your dog, this is not necessary, just an offer! :)

“We have never boarded our dog Jax before so Nathan and Laura and there kids was our first!! It could not have went any better !!! The family loves animals , they have an excellent yard for a play area , and the overall attention they gave our dog was perfect!! It’s good to know that we have a great option for the next time we have to board our dog.!!! ?”
“Winnie comes home from Peter’s happy and tired. She gets lots of loving from Peter and Barb and she gets time to socialize with other dogs. These folks are truly animal lovers. ❤️”
“Kylee and David are excellent pet sitters! I don't have to worry at all when our dog is with them. He gets to go on adventures and lots of walks. He comes home happy and sleepy! :)”
“I boarded my 2 labs with Jamie and she took exceptional care of them with frequent updates and pictures. Obviously I wasn't there, but it seems to me that she took care of them like they were her own. Strongly recommend! Wouldn't hesitate to bring them back.”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with Reka! She kept me updated with great communication, photos, and regular updates. Reka received so much love and attention from Heather, her kids, and even the neighbors. She had a blast playing with other dogs and was truly treated like a princess. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend!”
“Casey took great care of our dog. Lily suffers from separation anxiety and he made sure that she felt secure. He sent us many pictures to assure us of the wonderful care that she was receiving. Lily will be a repeat quest in Casey's home.”
“Patty did an outstanding job with our dogs! She managed to communicate with us daily even though we were out of the country and difficult to get hold of. When one of the dogs became ill, Patty handled everything perfectly and went above and beyond to ensure that our pets recovery went well. Her pet handling skills were evident and very much appreciated! Highly recommend!”
About: I am currently working towards a bachelor's in Animal Behavior and Welfare, as interacting with animals and learning about them is a passion of mine. I greatly enjoy learning to care for them and then doing so. The degree im working towards is focused on the care of animals while educating the public about them. I grew up with a dog and have had many small animals as pets throughout my life, rodents, fish, insects, arachnids, frogs, etc. Currently I have 3 reptiles and two cats. Willow-Wisp, and Boiled-Egg are my cats. My corn snake is Copper, Blue Tongued Skink is Little-Dude, and Tripod is my leopard gecko. Both Boiled-Egg and Tripod have medical conditions that require at home management and care which has given me some skills in caring for animals with disabilities. They are not the only animal I have history caring for with medical issues either. Many of my experience with pets has been rescue pets, and I have had plenty practice and patience regarding them and behaviors post trauma. I am more than willing to learn about your pets needs and help medical or otherwise. I am currently focusing on college and have plenty of time to help care for your animals. The only day I will be unavailable is Sunday. I have a fenced in yard and half the house closes off by doors so the cats will not interact with your animals unless you are comfortable with it. Depending on your animals preferance I can ensure that I spend time with them or give them the space to feel comfortable and settle in. Any and all expectations set regarding their care and what food, toys, or treats they are allowed will of course be followed. I may have treats of my own I could offer them but will only do so with your approval and in amounts you allow. I do haveextra food and water bowels if you would prefer to use those rather than bringing your own. In the case something awful were to happen I have experience bringing animals to emergency.
“Carley and Ferris took great care of my dog Fawn over a holiday weekend. They have a great setup and treated her like one of their own. Carley was very responsive and kept me up to date. I would definitely recommend them!”
“My Sadie is still trying to recover from another great weekend with Mike! I love that he took her along on his weekend adventures to Park point and out for Pizza along with the daily walks that she requires. She is always so tired after spending time with Mike that she falls asleep in the car on the way home! A big shout out and thank you to Mike for being an exceptional pet care giver!”
“Emily saved our family vacation, and helped our sweet girl with separation anxiety come out of her shell! If catastrophizing was an Olympic sport, I’d be the undefeated Gold medalist. I automatically assume something will go wrong, so after plans for our dog’s care fell through right before our vacation, I was irritated with my husband for even suggesting Rover. I was certain, it wasn’t was possible to find someone Piper could meet, develop a relationship, and truly enjoy staying with—for 5 whole days, and on that short of notice. She’s a great dog, but she needs to know where my husband is at all times. That’s why I couldn’t believe he thought she’d survive a week away from him! Let alone after being plucked out of her home and left with complete strangers! I knew I’d have to stay home, and there was nothing Rover could do about it. I thought we were wasting our time, but I had been looking forward to that vacation for a year, so I wanted to be sure there was no way to make it work before accepting the loss. After coming across Emily’s profile, I I held my breath, and told my husband I was willing to schedule a meet-and-greet. Eveything about her experience, living arrangements, and family life looked perfect on paper, but the “glass is totally empty” part of me spent days insisting it was destined to fail. Imagine our surprise when the “absolutely not”, quickly shifted to talks of mutual friends, laughs, and knowing they were exactly who we were hoping to find!! We absolutely loved getting frequent photos chronicalling Piper’s adventures! Seeing how much fun she was having helped ease our minds, and allowed us to enjoy our time together as a family—without having to worry if she was being treated well! One after the other, each picture reminding we had nothing to worry about! We should just enjoy ourselves, because Piper was having too much fun, participating in too many activities, and soaking in immeasurable amounts of love and attention to worry about when we’d be back to pick her up! I don’t know about you, but I think that’s all a nervous pet owner could ever ask for. Thanks again for everything! We can’t wait to book with you again soon! Pat & Laura Larson”
“Took care of my 6mo pup who was recently spayed. Made sure she didn't expend herself and irritate the incision, which is impressive considering my pup loves to jump and play with other dogs.”
“As always, Jai had a fantastic time with Amber. She will take care of your pet like her own. You can relax and go on your vacation and even forget you have a pet (like I did 🙈)”
“Wonderful experience for our pup and for us. As a nervous mom I was put at ease with not only how comfortable our dog was in her new environment but also with all the wonderful updates and pictures throughout the visit. Truly a wonderful, caring and responsible environment!”
“Kate did a great job keeping me updated with pictures and even a video. I loved seeing how worn out my baby girl was at the end of her stay. I'll definitely be reaching out to Kate again!”
“Shiloh and her family took such great care of Pico and Maggie so we could enjoy the weekend with extended family and friends as we celebrated graduation. Thanks for the kind and excellent care.”
