“Angelina did a wonderful job checking in on my three cats while I was on vacation. She sent lots of photos and updated me on how my cats were doing while I was away, which took a lot of weight and stress off my shoulders. Thank you very much! Would happily request again for any drop-in needs.”
About: I have always been around animals and have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and even birds. I really enjoy taking care of all animals and providing excellent service. My family has a bird, two shih tzus, and a cat. I have frequently been around bigger breeds as well so I am comfortable with any-sized pet. I have experience walking other people's dogs and pet sitting for family and family friends. I am busy this summer preparing for college in the fall, but I wanted something that I care about to fill some of my free time. I am also saving up for college expenses. I would love to make pet sitting/walking a major part of my life. I would be able to watch pets at the owners' home. I will be able to watch them overnight, and or come over to check on them as well as taking walks and playing with them.
“Was my first time using Rover and Kjersten and it went smoothly! Kjersten did a great job checking in our cat! There was great communication and she took pictures as well. Would definitely use her again!”
About: I have loved cats for my entire life! I have a weak spot for siamese cats especially! I had a diabetic cat as a teenager! I foster cats from time to time and I help feed the strays and keep them dewormed! I try to domesticate kittens a couple of times a year so during those times I won't be taking cats for rover but I will keep my page up to date!
“These 2 were so wonderful! They took care of our sick kitty so well. He looked comfortable and happy in all their update pictures and they followed our feeding instructions to a T. 10/10 would recommend them.”

About: I have three cats and I promise to love your cats, dogs, and other pets like my own. I have a lot of experience walking dogs and doing sittings. I have cared for cats and dogs both personally and professionally. You can expect me to treat your pet(s) just as I treat mine, with just as much love and affection. I will make sure they had a long enough walk and follow any specific instructions I am given as I care for your pets. Not only will I walk your dogs but I will do anything additional you need me to before I leave for the day. You can expect nothing less than love to be given. It will be a pleasure walking and caring for your pets! I am currently a stay at home Mom so my availability is very flexible. I am able to do drop in visits and dog walks right now during any time of the day. I offer drop ins and dog walking right now. I make sure that all of the pets needs are taken care of before I leave. I will love your pets like my own and give them plenty of exercise/love.
“Rhea was fantastic with Dodger! I needed a sitter within two hours of reaching out to her and she made it happen. Very grateful for her. She's great, trust her with your pup.”
“Ben & Jen were very helpful in taking care of my nervous rescue dogs in helping them get socialized. Ben is very patient and I appreciated them letting my dogs come to their home. Ben was responsive in keeping me informed. Ben & Jen both seem super nice!”
“Maple is a quarky dog so he can a lot at times. Takes him a bit to settle in and enjoy new surroundings. Matt and Angela were awesome and so welcoming. Takes a special person to open their home and help out others. They are the best.”
“Margarita has been a wonderful, flexible, accommodating, understanding, champion for me and Spike. He is having a good time there. When I get him he is always a happy puppy and I can tell he is well taken care of. He comes home and he likes to take naps afterward, poor puppy having so much fun with her dogs and her cute youn son. Nice open space for Spike to walk on leash and not worry about his safety. Definitely booking again (already have the reservations). It’s nice to know that my 11week puppy has a loving and caring place that takes care of him while I am at work.”
About: I do have one cat, she is two years old. I have grown up with dogs, 1-2 dogs always in the house. I have 3 kids ages 2,2, and 5, they have been around animals since they were born. They love animals and do really well with them. I have a busy schedule during the week, but looking to help out on the weekends when I can. My kids enjoy the extra company. My backyard is fenced in. Pets can be allowed on the furniture, but will adjust to the clients instructions. I can crate them as well.
“Thank you so much for your care for Autumn! We couldn't be happier. It's clear that you genuinely enjoy the dogs you watch and it means so much to know our fur baby was well cared for. We will definitely ask again! 💜😊”
“Michelle was great! She helped me out with a last minute request. Arlo had a great time staying at her place. I would definitely recommend boarding with her! Thank you so much Michelle :)”
“David was so great. He took Bandido on last minute for an afternoon and evening. Went very smoothly. David was obviously comfortable with big dogs. I will definitely use David in the future.”
“Andria's family and dog are all very friendly towards my puppy. Nori had a blast there. He got home and fell asleep within 30 minutes, so I didn't have to spend a lot of time playing with him in the evening:) Andria also captured a few great photos of Nori running in the snow with his new friend. Love the photos!”
About: Relocated here from Iowa. Enjoy working with different dogs. Pet lover. I completed 6 months of Veterinarian Assistant classes online. Life happened and I had to take a pause. But I am thinking about going back and finish obtaining my associates degree in the field. So whether it be house sitting with the animals or simply doing some walking or activities, I don't mind and will enjoy my time with them. Its something I enjoy as one of my hobbies. I am available during the week days. Every other weekend I work night shift at this time. I enjoy play time with pets because they too have different personalities. Love Dogs. We cuddle mostly and play. Take walks outside. Play fetch with their toys. It's cool to go to the backyard and be socialable with nature. I think it helps with sensory awareness.
About: I’ve been a dog mama for many years and love spending time walking and playing. I grew up on a farm so am extremely comfortable with all animals but my real love is dogs. I’m recently retired and am available and excited to help care for your fur-baby. My schedule is very flexible and our home is set up to provide a fun, safe environment for your dog. I’m happy to do drop-ins to feed, potty, go walking, play or all of that! Let me know about your pets routines and preferences so I can make sure they’re safe and comfortable.
“I absolutely loved my experience with Andrew. My husband had major surgery and our Winnie got a little stir crazy at the hotel. Andrew treated her with such love and care. He treated her like one of his pack members. I have never left my dog with anyone but family before so I was a little nervous. After a couple pictures and texts from Andrew I could tell he had been spending quality time with Winnie and knew her quirky personality. We have to come to Mayo Clinic often for testing and I will not hesitate to use Andrew's services again!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
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.

I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣
