About: currently working under a boarding facility for my vet tech license!! had animals with medical issues in the past so i’ve dealt with that care. i worry about my own baby’s health 24/7 so trust i will worry about your baby too. early mornings work pretty well for me. around 5am to 12pm. afternoons and late evenings work best, typically after 6 into late. weekends are completely free. if there is any safety concerns, I will make sure to ask for your opinion or run down on your rules! please do not hesitate to mention anything!

About: Hi! I’m currently available as a drop-in sitter with an open and flexible schedule, and I would love to help take care of your pet(s)! I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs since I was a kid, and I’ve also been the sole owner of a cat for 4 years now. All pets receive the upmost care on my watch, and I would treat your pet as if it were my own. I’m excellent at maintaining schedules and routine care (feeding, medication, some grooming etc.), following instructions, sending updates, being reliable and adaptable, and overall ensuring your pet’s needs are met. I’m very flexible and available any day of the week and most times of the day, but I would prefer at least a day’s notice beforehand for when you need care. In my home, there’s my 1 cat as well as 2 dogs that are my parents’ dogs. With my cat, she has a daily feeding schedule (4 divided meals at 4-hour intervals) that I’ve maintained for the last few years, and I also scoop her litter daily, keep up with her routine care, and make sure she gets lots of attention and stimulation. I also help with my parents’ dogs when needed as well such as letting them outside, feeding them and providing water when needed, taking one of them on walks, etc.

About: I've taking care of dogs most of my adult life. I have worked in a dog salon as a bather/receptionist. I have experience bathing, drying, nail trims on dogs ranging from chihuahuas to newfoundlands. I lived with my sister helping take care of her two dogs, beagle and husky border collie mix. I'm currently working full time school hours, 930am to 4pm. I have more availability of weekends for dog ditting and anytime during the week for cat sitting. I live in an apartment. I have a seperate space to place any animals that do not get along with my resident cats. I love going for walks for potty breaks since I do not have a yard.

“Briana was a great sitter for my cat while I was on vacation. Very communicative and sent lots of photos of every visit. Went above and beyond by keeping my place clean and making sure my cat was well taken care of. I definitely recommend her!”

“Hayden took great care of our cat! We got pictures and videos of her while we were away on a trip.”

About: My family has a lot of dogs so I’ve had experience caring for a variety of different breeds of them, all ranging in sizes/age! I love animals a lot and would love the opportunity to meet and form a connection with your pet! I currently work part-time so I have my weekdays free in the mornings/afternoons as well as pretty open availability on the weekends. I will continuously update my schedule to reflect availability! I don’t offer services in my own home but when I go to a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and will listen to any instructions you give regarding your pet and home as I am there to do my job!

About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I give to every pet. I treat each animal like family and take the time to learn their individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I work part time, and my kids are all over 18, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and care they need. I enjoy having animals as part of my day and am happy to work with each pet’s individual routine, whether that means morning visits, afternoon check-ins, or evening care. I care for every pet as if they were my own. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Our kittens were so calm when we came home. Even our baby that is scared of his shadow loved her. She texted back within minutes. Our home was spotless.”

About: Pets are my life, I grew up with cats, dogs and even reptiles. I’ve been taking care of all types and sizes of pets my whole life they are my passion & love. I’m currently a stay-at-home pet mom so my schedule is widely available, I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your dogs and cats. I have years of hands-on experience caring for animals in various settings, and I have a helper for group dog walking free of charge.

“I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that Jennifer was there to take care of my boyz. She was punctual even though she didn’t need to be and sent me lots of pics which set my mind at ease. She even brought in a package for me so it wouldn’t get stolen. Super easy to work with. Will definitely be asking for her help again! Thanks Jennifer :)”

About: Having animals in my life has been a constant source of joy and companionship. From playful moments to nurturing care, my journey with pets have been filled with love and laughter. I currently work full time from home! I am able to leave at any time to check in, play, feed, walk or just love on your pet! I have a fenced in yard with two dogs and one cat! Both are very friendly dogs and very friendly cat (with lots of sass).

“Thank you for watching our house and kitty! The house looked great when we came back and our pets were well taken care of.”

“Emily watched my cat while I was away and has watched both of my pets over the years before Rover. She’s been great each time - very communicative, friendly, and my pets love her! Will definitely book again the next time it’s needed!”

About: I've loved animals all my life. I got my first puppy when I was about 13 years old, full of pre-teen enthusiasm for learning all about dog behavior and puppy training strategies. Now that my own beloved dog is no longer with us, I've found myself wishing I had more opportunities to connect with animals on a regular basis. I've taken every chance I could to pet sit for friends and acquaintances over the years, but recently I realized that I could also be using Rover to make pet care a more regular part of my life! Since I'm also meant to share something here that makes me "stand out" as a sitter, I'll say that animals do tend to feel particularly safe and relaxed around me. If I were to take a guess as to why that is, I think I would say that it's probably a combination of: 1) genuinely loving pets and wanting to have a positive interaction with them, 2) not bringing anxious energy into the room, which I think is something that most pets can sense, and 3) knowing enough about animal behavior to not escalate any existing anxieties or aggression. As someone who has had a beloved pet, I know how important it is to find someone to care for your pet that you can trust to accommodate their particular needs, and to create a safe, happy environment for them while you're away. If you'll trust me to be that person, then nothing would make me happier than to give your pet an amazing visit, walk, or staycation! I work full time (8.5 hours M-F) in Arden Hills, and my preference for pet care would be to schedule services either before (7:30am) or after (5pm) work. I do have some flexibility to pop out for short walks in the middle of the day for one-off service requests, but would not be able to accommodate a repeating service in the middle of the work day. I am not able to host pets in my home at this time, but if I can come and care for your pets at their own home, I am happy to follow whatever instructions you give for how to make your pet feel happy and safe and cared for during your absence! I am a careful instruction follower, so I will refer back to any information you can give me about what your pet is accustomed to when you are home, and how you would like me to care for them when you're gone. If you feel nervous at all about leaving them, I'm also more than happy to send regular updates to you about how they are doing!

About: Hello there my name is Katherine, ever since I was young, I have loved dogs and cats. This love has become a passion that has led me to work with them daily and have become a Fear Free Certified Professional. I am a Pet Sitter who has experience with all sorts of personalities, from nervous pets to overly friendly pets. I know leaving your pet can be scary and stressful whether it’s the first time or for hundredth time. I believe in providing a gentle, safe, humane way of treating pets while under my care is integral to my ability to deliver the quality, trusted care your pets and you deserve. As a Fear Free Certified Professional Pet Sitter, my goal is to relieve the fear, anxiety, and stress of every pet and parent by ensuring your pets receive personalized, low-stress care by assessing their body language, using positive reinforcement, and creating a safe, calm environment within their own home, leading to a more enjoyable experience and better well-being for the pet regardless of whether we’re meeting for the first time or have an ongoing relationship. What does that mean? To serve pets under my care in a calm, low stress environment as I provide for their daily needs and deliver any needed home husbandry or medical care that’s required, while minimizing fear, anxiety, or stress in the pet, their parents and in myself. Why fear free? Good pet care means realizing when the pet is afraid and to help reduce their stress. I will not make your pet do anything they don’t want to. I will always take a considerate and gentle approach when caring for our pet and your concerns. Benefits for Pets 🐾 Reduced Stress and Anxiety: I am trained to recognize and de-escalate signs of fear and anxiety, creating a calm and secure atmosphere for your pets during those fearful times. 🐾 Improved Health: By minimizing stress, Fear Free practices can prevent stress-induced illnesses, improve the immune system, and lead to better overall health outcomes. 🐾 Positive Associations: Using positive reinforcement, distraction techniques, and other calming methods helps pets develop positive associations with their pet sitter and the home environment. 🐾 Personalized Care: My approach is based on the individual pet's personality, needs, and emotional state, ensuring a customized and comfortable experience. Benefits for Pet Owners 🐾Peace of Mind: Parents can be assured their beloved pet(s) are content and well-cared for in their own home, leading to a less stressful experience for everyone. 🐾Enhanced Pet Well-being: Knowing their pet is receiving care that prioritizes their emotional and physical health offers reassurance to owners. 🐾Preventative Care: Pets who are comfortable with their pet sitter are more likely to have positive interactions and have their needs consistently met. How It Works 🐾Body Language Assessment: I am skilled at reading pet's body language to understand their comfort level and detect any signs of stress. 🐾Positive Reinforcement: They use rewards and positive cues to encourage desired behaviors and build trust with the pet. 🐾Environmental Management: The environment is adjusted to be calming, which can include using soft lighting, quiet spaces, and incorporating pheromone diffusers. 🐾Calm Handling: Sits and interactions are conducted at a slower, calmer pace, avoiding methods that could increase stress. Please reach out if there are any questions! I work a full-time job Monday through Friday, but I am still available to care for your pet depending on what you need. Boarding in-house weekends only. If your pet feels more comfortable staying at their home, I can stop in multiple times and stay the night if desired. When your pup stays here (we are unable to board cats), they will have a large backyard to play in with Tony and Ziva. They can sleep wherever they want, from dog beds to furniture/beds. They will be loved as if they were my own. If your pup/kitty needs to stay in their safe space, I can stop in multiple times. When I stop in to check on your pup/kitty, I spend time with them, giving them some love. Or if needed, can stay over for overnight care.

From daily walks to overnight stays, your furry family members receive the love, attention, and exercise they deserve.

Our Home & Yard: Pups who stay with us get to enjoy a spacious lakeside backyard with plenty of room to run, sniff, explore, and relax. 🌿🐾 The yard is partially fenced, with an opening for lake access, so all outdoor time is fully supervised. There are shady spots for downtime between play sessions. In the summer months, dogs can swim in the lake (with owner permission only). Just let us know if your pup is a swimmer and has your OK to go in. Although I will be the primary care taker, my wife and I work from home full time Monday through Friday. We love to spend our free time taking care of our sweet boy Koda who is a 5 year old labradoodle. He gets along great with other dogs and loves friends. I have a home in a quiet community which is fenced. This allows the dogs to run freely outside for potty breaks and exercise for the pups.
