“Lindsey met my wife in a timely manner at condo entrance. Per my wife, she was friendly and Memphis came back wagging his tail. Appreciate Lyndsey time and it was our first experience using Rover!”

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.
About: We (Sean and myself) welcome both dogs and cats! Many years of experience between the two of us. Love taking care of pets and just want them to have a safe and loving environment. We have two kids who are 8 and 4 and they love all animals. I work full time as a nurse but all shifts are at home. I am off on the weekends. My significant other, Sean, stays at home as well and we care for the animals together. I am there to walk and play with them. Feed and water them when they need it. Can take for frequent potty breaks. Also just want them to have fun!
“I appreciate Scott's care for our pup, communication, and availability when we needed him on short notice. Hucklebear liked Scott and seemed very comfortable with him. Thanks, Scott!”

About: My husband and I have had dogs all of our lives! We recently lost our 140 lb. Bouvier des Flandres (Oscar) and our kids are missing having a pet! We are currently pet-less, non-smoking, clean home, looking to love a dog for the weekend or during the summer when we are off. We have a huge yard (2 acres) and can keep your pet on a leash or nearby while we play outside! We love walks and snuggles! We prefer non-shedding breeds. No aggressive dogs. We are currently working/at school - so weekends are it. Once school is out (June-August) we have all summer to watch your pup! We are also an active family, so if you need your dog walked, we can do it! We will keep a close eye on your pup. Our kids are super gentle and are the sweetest kids. Your dog will be our priority if they are here! We want you and your pet to feel at home. We have been dog lovers all of our lives and we used Rover with our last dog and know you want a trusting home - we get it! We don't currently have any other animals and will only take 1 dog at a time (unless from the same family).
“Hound has been great with our dogs and they seem relaxed and happy when we get home. Manages the needs of our very old husky and young border collie mix very well so they both get the attention and exercise they need.”
“Destinee was responsive and took great care of Nemo and the house while we were out of town! Our dog loves to play with Destinee. We appreciated the updates she gave us during her stay. Would highly recommend her services.”

“Devon has always taken great care of our dog, and she has been flexible with last minute schedule changes. She has boarded our dog in her house and given regular walks. Highly recommend!”

About: While I didn’t grow up with dogs I’ve made up for it in my adult years! I’ve dog-sit for family, friends, and neighbors. I also walked several dogs before Rover was a thing :) I will take the time to get to know your dogs personality, schedule, and any other needs. I am comfortable giving medication, if needed, as I had two years experience with my dog Zeke. I look forward to meeting your fur baby! :) I currently work 8-5 pm pm in Oncology at Mayo Clinic. I work 3-4 days a week, with a couple work from home days (no weekends or holidays). I have a large townhouse (almost 1900 sq feet) with plenty of outside space to play and walk. While the yard isn’t fenced I live a hop skip and a jump to the walking path around Cascade Lake. Your dog would also have free rein of my townhome. Depending on your dogs age, needs, level of potty training, and demeanor he/she could have free rein of my home. I promise to treat your dog like my own, meaning a lot of attention, snuggles (if that’s their thing), butt scratches, treats, play time, & exercise. I will also communicate as little or much as you want, including updates on how they are doing along with pictures/videos.
About: I have cared for everything from puppies to senior dogs as well as cats, small mammals (guinea pigs, hamsters, etc), and lizards. Each animal has such personality that I am excited to learn. During the school year (September-May) I am available evenings and weekends. During the summer (June-august) I have way more flexibility and can work with your needs. I unfortunately cannot take care of any fury animals in my home due to my family members allergies. However, I will follow whatever guidelines you may have.
