House Sitting in Wacouta

“We have a reactive and shy dog, and because of this we have never left him with a sitter. We decided to give Rover a try and that is where we met Shylina. She did an amazing job. She took a shy dog that wanted nothing to do with her at the beginning, to a dog that wanted to cuddle with her in bed at night. We highly recommend Shylina. We will definitely use her again.”

“They had amazing communication and made me feel so comfortable while I was away from our critters. I would definitely recommend again and will be reaching out again the next time I need a sitter.”

“Madysen did a wonderful job watching our four month old puppy for the evening!”

About: Hey all! My name is Mylissa and I am located in Red Wing, MN. I’m back on this app after a hiatus as my job had become more flexible! I have grown up around dogs of all sizes (from St. Bernards to Mini Yorkies), and love to give attention to all. I love walking, so why not do it with a dog!? I also am a dog poop baggie carrier and will clean up after your dog. I have volunteered with humane societys and local shelters, I have attended 2 hour dog walking safety and procedures classes for four years, and would walk shelter dogs biweekly in college. Unfortunately my life currently doesn’t have the time a dog deserves, so this is a great way to spend time with dogs and help out their owners. I currently do have three cats, a 5 year old and two 3 year olds adopted from humane society! I love furbabies of all kinds and would love to spend time with your kitty as well. Any questions please do ask! I currently work from home and am able to cater my schedule around walks if needed (with notice)! I am able to work from your home as well if house sitting as long as there is WiFi/excellent cellular data for hotspotting. I can crate dogs, leash/harness them, give medication, clean up house accidents, or give hard/soft/homemade food. If there is ever a situation I am not comfortable I will immediately reach out, just ask!

About: I have two amazing cats currently and grew up with dogs and cats. I have pet sat for my own animals growing up as well as family members. Last year is when I began pet sitting for my neighbor and recently I have done two four day stays with a dog and two cats. I loved spending time with their dog as I can't have one of my own at the apartment that I currently live at. I also love playing with cats, and of course snuggling both kinds of animals (it's the best thing in the world). I currently do college online and am an aspiring small business owner of crochet goods, both of these things I can do from anywhere so longer in home stays are not a problem. I currently am an online college student and an aspiring crochet small business owner, both things, I am able to do from anywhere. I have pretty much no days I can't be with animals besides Tuesday mornings. I aspire to make sure the animals are comfortable and happy at all times. I love brushing them, playing with them, and of course, providing snuggles. I don't personally have a dog, but I grew up with one and always loved giving her walks.

About: We have had pets in our homes for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of all sizes from Bernese Mountain Dogs to Chihuahuas. I currently work from home full time. I am able to attend to your pets needs throughout the day. I enjoy walking so if you pet is up to it they will get plenty of exercise. I have several acres of land for us to explore when your pet visits. My dogs are gracious hosts and will make certain there is plenty of time for fun and games. I currently work from home and have the flexibility to give your pup attention when they want/need it. We are able to have frequent potty breaks, play fetch and go for walks as needed. I have 2 friendly pups and 2 cats that will welcome your fur baby and keep them company throughout their stay. Pets are able to wander inside my house freely. They might enjoy my comfy couch to sleep on, enjoy the view from our window seat, sunny spot on the floor. The opportunities are endless.

“Samantha was great with our high needs/energetic kitty. She sent updates and videos and was very responsive. I hope she liked Bowie as much as he liked her so we can book her again ?”

“Thank you Elizabeth for taking great care of our Jocko (about 17 years old). You were able to carry out his routines in/outside the house very well. So when we returned, I think he was a happy camper during our 20 day away vacation. This was the first time he would be left alone (without the usual many family members to overlap with care), so this local care giving plan with Rover.com worked out very well. I was reassured with photos and texts of visits as requested and Elizabeth provided the personal care for Jocko a senior cat and he is a happy cat.”

About: I’ve always had dogs since I was young. I have walked, fed, administered medication and cared for many dogs throughout my life. I absolutely love every moment I get to spend with them. I typically work from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM on weekdays. I am available for walks that would end at 7 and anytime in the afternoon/evenings. I have an immense respect and love for all animals, especially dogs. I am also a responsible owner and caretaker and will put the safety, comfort and happiness of each pup I work with above all else.

“Kaylee was fantastic! She was very attentive to Murphy and made sure he had plenty of play time.”

“Kay does a great job taking care of my cats and chickens! She’s very knowledgeable about cat behavior and nutrition, too. I plan to use her services often!”

“Last year Sweet Pea had to stay a week at the dog kennel which left her a nervous wreck. What a difference this year! After over 2 weeks with McKenna, but in her familiar surrounding and routine, she behaved totally normal. As is typical for cats, Smidgen kitty was a little shy for a few days, but then warmed up to McKenna for play and petting. McKenna kept our house and yard in good shape as well. When problems arose with the animals or our old house, McKenna contacted me how I wanted her to handle it, then did it without hesitation. When my wife was longing to see Sweet Pea, McKenna even drove our dog to/from the rehab facility a couple of times. McKenna is very compassionate with animals and humans alike. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: I’ve grown up with family dogs my entire life. Because of that, I have quite a lot of experience dealing with more “stubborn” breeds like Irish Setters and Keeshonds. I’m willing to be just about as patient as it takes to truly understand your pet and all of their wonderful quirks! In the past I’ve some done pet sitting for friends over holidays- which, upon request, could include a handful of daily photos for the family missing their precious pet! If needed, I also have lots of experience washing dogs with wide varieties of coats(silky to triple coated). I would be more than happy to bathe your furry friend as long as the products are supplied! I’m currently unemployed and on summer break from college and am free at just about all hours of the day to come hang out with your pet! I wake up quite early and am available both weekdays, and weekends. Depending on your dog’s needs, I will clean up any of their messes and make sure to always be at least keeping an eye on them. Most of the time I’m there, I will prioritize keeping them company, playing with them, and caring for them. I will also take them for walks and let them outside as needed!

About: I've taken care of all my friends and family's pets. Everyone relies on me to make sure proper care of their animals are taken. I go above and beyond of what is asked. I am available any day Monday through Sunday between the hours of 7am to 9pm. However,, I am more than flexible for certain circumstances though. I offer everything between taking the pets for walks, bringing them outside, playing with them, feeding and providing them water. I can even bathe them and train them if necessary.

“Amazing house sitter! Highly recommend!!”

About: I have taken care of kittens, puppies, dogs. I have also trained my dog when I was younger when she was a puppy. I’m just here to help. If there’s anything I can do please let me know. I’d love to be a part of making sure your vacation or your day is less stressful I am in school and also I will be working from home. Going to the office a couple times a week so I am very flexible. I will ask to understand your needs wants and values period if there are certain things that you need accommodations, for I would love to understand them so that we can have a very clear understanding so that you can enjoy your time away from your pets as best as possible.

“Rory took great care of the dogs, other pets and the house. He communicated quickly with any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Rory.”

About: I have always had dogs in my life. From a black lab hunting dog, to an elderly chihuahua, and a puppy Siberian husky! I currently have two cats (mama & kitty) that I rescued from a foster home. Pets are the best!! I’m a retired US Air Force officer, so I have a lot of flexibility. I enjoy walking and taking my grand-dogs to the dog park. I’m home a lot because I’m retired from the military, so I have a ton of flexibility. So, I can spend a lot of time with your pet.

About: I have cared for animals of many kinds since I was young and have experience with parrots, dogs, cats, and reptiles. Friends and family frequently rely on me to care for their pets while they are away. I am currently studying to become a veterinary technician, which helps me provide knowledgeable and attentive care for every pet. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide consistent care and attention for pets. I am available most weekends and weekday afternoons, ensuring your pet gets regular exercise, playtime, and supervision. I provide safety, trust & environment by making sure that your pet is safe in my care, I will make sure they are never off leash when they go outside, and always confined when I leave! Your pet will always be in safe hands!

“Calcifer was great with our senior dog who has some extra needs. He was very kind, caring and you can tell he loves animals. He was also great at communication, always letting us know how our dog was doing and when he was coming/going.”
