About: I am new to Rover, but I have many years of experience in taking care of animals. In addition to living with cats and dogs for most of my life, I have also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society. In addition to pets, I also volunteered at the Wildlife Science Center with feeding animals such as foxes, raccoons, bobcats, a lynx, and skunks, and I had the opportunity to care for wolf pups at the International Wolf Center. I am recently retired, so my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and most evenings and am able to work around your schedule. I currently have two cats and previously had dogs, so I understand the importance of keeping them on a regular schedule. Being around animals gives me joy, so I look forward to spending quality time with your pet. I follow your instructions and make sure to follow your pet’s lead when interacting with them. I send you pictures, so you can see how your pet is doing when you are away. I can also check mail and water plants if needed.

About: Retired educator and small farm owner. Dog and cat owner the past 30+ years. Current family includes a dog and 3 cats. In the past we have had as many as 5 dogs. I have just recently moved to the Twin Cities from a small farm in Illinois. I am retired and have free time nearly every day. I have been taking my pup Hugo for long walks every day as Hugo and I explore all the wonderful outdoor spaces. Just purchased a home in West Saint Paul with a fenced yard for my pup Hugo. In addition, I go for a one hour plus walk most days with Hugo. I love to be active and love dogs and cats. The cats are still adapting to being inside as they transition from farm living to urban life.

“Jenna was great! She was easy to plan with, easy going about the instructions for my cats, and was very nice to chat with. My cats were a little naughty (just making messes and being cats) and she handled that all really well.”
“This experience has been just phenomenal! Donna was very patient with my girls and her daily checkin was what I waited for every day I was away! What a pleasure to find a wonderful service that does exactly what they say they'll do! Thanks again!”
“I cannot recommend Mario enough!! I was nervous to leave my anxious senior cat but Mario put so much effort into making sure he was comfortable and relaxed for his entire stay! I received daily updates on how my cat was doing/settling in and will absolutely be boarding him with Mario for all future trips!”
“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”

“Tofte loves going to Bethany's! She is a thoughtful, caring dog sitter who takes such good care of Tofte during the day. She is so kind and friendly, and very understanding with our separation anxiety little guy.”
About: I am experienced with senior, special needs, and medically complex dogs. My husband and I also foster through various local rescues! I have had my own dogs (and cats, chickens, bunnies, etc!) my whole life. We both work from home and will be with your fur baby 24/7 during their stay. My husband and I both work from home. We are both home and able to provide 24/7 care for the animals we board! Our large, fully fenced yard provides lots of space to run and play on nice days. I have a very large fenced yard with two dog pools for hot summer days. My home offers multiple rooms and, due to the fact that we often foster, we have several kennels and other “safe space” areas if your fur baby feels safer hanging out or sleeping separately from the rest of the pack. Although, we are a household that encourages pets to curl up on the furniture! We have 2 dogs of our own- a collie/Aussie mix and husky. Both are friendly, up to date on vaccines, and love other dogs! Lastly, we are a cat friendly home but do have separate spaces available if separation from them is best.

“Lydia does an amazing job caring for our puppy! We started bringing Riley to Lydia when she was about 10 weeks old for the couple of days a week we needed to work outside of the house. Riley always came home happy and worn out. She got plenty of fun, playtime, and naps throughout the day and Lydia sends lots of pictures so you can see how your pup is doing!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since my teenage years, from puppies to seniors. Lately, I’ve fostered and adopted senior rescues. I consider dogs some of the most special creatures on Earth. I work full-time from home and love having dog-walking breaks throughout the day. I can sit in your home (as long as there’s wi-fi so I can log into work) or mine. My 15-year old Chihuahua mix passed away recently, so I currently do not have an animal companion in my home, though that doesn’t last very long with me! I do not have a fenced-in yard; however, there is a walking path across the front street of my home and a city park across the street in the back.

“Carrie sent pictures and updates each day for walks and playtime and was very responsive. The dog was glad to have some company while we were away!”
About: I grew up with three labradors, and love caring for dogs of all sizes and ages! I have experience with small and medium sized dogs, and I've have also walked Great Danes (which are about as tall as me!). I love dogs of all ages, and especially have a soft spot in my heart for older and aging dogs who might need a slower pace. If you work long hours and need someone to walk your dog at lunch or in the afternoon, this works perfectly for me. I am available from mid morning to early evening. Your dog's safety is extremely important to me. I keep dogs leased, avoid busy and crowded streets whenever possible, stay alert for traffic and other animals, and listen to pet parent requests for your dog's safety.
“Tilia did a great job with our pups. She was very kind and generous with her time and made it super easy for me as the owner. I barely noticed her coming and going but I know the dogs got some good exercise in. I appreciate her flexibility with splitting the walk between our older and younger pup who walk at very different paces.”
About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.
“Sy has been a lifesaver helping me with Lilly during the week!! She was super quick to respond to my initial request, which I was so grateful for because I needed services suddenly. And to top it all off, Lilly loves her so I feel like she’s in great hands whenever I’m gone! She goes above and beyond, even helping me with her medication when I asked. And she seems to really care about Lilly’s wellbeing, like she’s her own. Definitely recommend!!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and I've got two cats and a doggo of my own. I'll treat your pup like their part of my pack. I'm working from home on Mondays and in the office on Tuesday and Wednesday. I can come home over lunch if boarding during the week. I have a fenced in yard and a great neighborhood for taking walks. I can provide a separate room for pets, as well as a crate, if needed.
About: I grew up on a dairy farm, and have been around many different animals over the years. I started out pet sitting for friends of family members, and families in my local community in my spare time. I have also taken care of a few senior pets over the years by making sure they get their right medications and foods throughout my stay. I also help take care of farm animals, outdoor bird feeders, along with indoor and outdoor plant watering and care. I currently have two cats, Scooter and Goose and they are my world. I am currently working about 20-25 hours a week. My current job is very flexible with hours and time that would allow me to stop in a care for your pets. I am available to do a few days, with the possibility of extending that period of time. I would be able to stop in and care for your pets before I head to work for the day (roughly 4 to 8 hours regularly, but can be flexible) and again after I am done with work for the day before engaging in any activities or turning in for the evening. I am open to stopping in daily and caring for you pets in your home as I dont have much space while I am currently living in the city with roommates and multiple pets in our household. If your pet has a favorite park, or yard to play in, I would be happy to engage in their favorite activities hwith them in those places.
