Dog Sitting Willernie

About: I grew up having all kinds of pets, from small rodents, birds, cats, dogs, geckos, and fish. My love for animals has continued throughout my adult life and my comfortability around all kinds of animals is second to none. I work in private childcare, and am used to both entering into others homes and being respectful and trustworthy, and also provide loving and attentive care in my own home as well. Whether it's walks, cuddles, or reassurance that their parent will be back, your furry, cold-blooded, or feathered baby will be in good hands with me. Strong communication skills as well and as many photo updates as the pet parent would like! Monday through Thursday I leave around 7:45am for work and am back by 11:45 and home the remainder of the day! My 10 year old pup enjoys this schedule 😉 Friday through Sunday I’m home full-time. Lots of time spent playing, cuddling, and spending time relaxing together. I have a 10 year old female (fixed) 40 pound dog that is as sweet as can be and gets along with all animals! No prey drive whatsoever. We love walks, being outside, and cuddling on the couch at the end of the day.

“Emma did a great job working with my puppy Paddy during her drop in visits. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures! Will use her in the future!”

I have attended multiple dog obedience training classes and have dog sit for many friends and family's pets. We have two pet friendly dogs in the home named Wellington and Willy who are both pugs. We love to go on walks and play as much as possible while still teaching obedience. Willing to adjust to each animals home training to avoid being homesick and/or start any bad habits. I have a separate area with large cage if owner prefers for sleeping and/or other times of day. All animal will be welcomed into our home with lots of hugs, smiles and belly rubs.

“Kathleen did a wonderful job caring for my two dogs. She gave them plenty of love and attention, followed all instructions carefully, arrived on time, and spent the appropriate amount of time with them. I felt confident they were in great hands and would happily recommend her.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets so I know how important their care is and how unique every animals needs are. I have experience with many different types of dogs (Saint Bernard, Great Dane, German Shepard, corgi, collie, pit bull, bulldog, etc). I’ve had cats all my life of different temperaments so I know how to respect their boundaries and keep them happy. My family’s had rabbits, fish, chinchillas, lizards. I just moved up to white bear lake and don’t have main job yet so my schedule is free. I can show up whenever I’m needed. I treat every animal uniquely because I know not all of them are the same. I respect their boundaries and will personalize my care to them. If an animal is shy I will not try to force them to interact with me. If an animal has a lot of energy I like to play with them to give them stimulus and tire them out.

“Monika was wonderful to work with, and our kitty, Macho, seemed to really love her! We're so grateful she was there to give him attention and ensure he had everything he needed while we were away.”

About: I had a few dogs growing up (a cairn terrior and a yellow lab) and have been dog sitting for the last 6 years off and on from anywhere from a few hours up to 3 months. I work from home Mondays and Thursdays and have a typical 8-430 schedule. My significant other, Jake, has a flexible schedule as well for drop off/pick up times. While working from home I am available to take doggos on walks/runs and play! For days that I am in the office, I am able to run home on lunch for potty breaks if the doggo needs! I have a house with a large yard. While it is not fenced in, there is plenty of room to run and play on our 30 ft cable. I have a 12 year old son who loves to play with and love on doggies. I live near a lake and a park with a swimming beach if your doggo likes swimming! (I am more than happy to gives baths as well) I will also take lots of photos and have open communication so that owners can know their furbabies are having fun and in good hands!

About: I love dogs and have a fenced in yard for them to play. 🐾 I am knowledgeable about dog behavior and recognize signs of illness or distress. I have experience with potty training, medication administration, and reinforcing basic training commands. I currently work three days per week and have plenty of time to spend with your pups. My spouse, Chad, is usually home when I’m not available - together we can be flexible with pickup & drop off times. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space inside my home for pups to make themselves comfortable. In my home, pups are welcome on furniture and will receive lots of pets and playtime. I will maintain a safe, clean, and loving environment environment for you pups. ♡

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 5 years, including boarding family and friends’ dogs for stays of up to a week. For the past 3 years, I’ve also regularly walked dogs for family and friends, so I’m comfortable handling different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I grew up with a Golden Retriever and a Golden Retriever/Newfoundland mix, which gave me experience caring for large dogs from a young age. I’m reliable, active, and attentive to routines, whether that means regular walks, feeding schedules, or making sure dogs are comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve always genuinely loved being around dogs and enjoy getting to spend time with them. I’m currently home for the summer from college, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and overnight stays, and I can easily work around pets’ usual routines and needs. Since I’m active and enjoy being outside, dog walks and spending time with pets fit naturally into my daily routine. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. In my home, pets would have a safe, clean environment with lots of space. I have a large backyard for outdoor time and exercise, and I also have a very friendly Golden Retriever/Newfoundland mix who is well socialized with other dogs. Since the yard is not fenced, I would always supervise outdoor time and keep dogs safely on a leash when needed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and work to keep pets comfortable in their usual environment and routine.

About: I have always had dogs and am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and size. I can give your dogs medications and help with training basic commands. I work full time 6am-2:30pm Monday-Friday then one weekend a month. I typically go to the gym most days for about an hour otherwise am home outside of work hours. I will work with your established routine and care for your pets. I think it’s important to maintain their normal as much as possible.

About: I have a very flexible schedule and I'm happy to be there for walks and potty breaks or house and pet sitting as-needed. Minnesota native. I look forward to hearing from you. I have a small dog of my own and I take her for walks as needed, although she has severe arthritis and needs daily medication and monitoring. I am accustomed to letting her out to go to the bathroom at least every 4-5 hours. She is my pride and joy, and I'll ensure your canine family member is treated with equal care. I also care for my mother's large dogs often and grew up with larger breeds. There are 3 dogs in my household already, so boarding your dog at my residence may be a challenge, but I have done it before with enough time for a couple meet and greets beforehand. I am more than willing to come to you for your overnight needs or for daily walks and playdates.

About: I've had lots of experience with a wide variety of dogs from family pets to working with Wag! I have a 8 month old German Shepard/Lab, Opal, so I am comfortable with puppies and high energy breeds. I also have experience caring for senior animals. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I am mostly available for weekend care but can do walks & check ins during the week if I bring my youngest with me. I am open to boarding and other care during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard for lots of fetch & play time. We love walks & hiking so lots of opportunities for exercise, fun & bonding with the dogs. I also have experience with crating if that is necessary.

“Bethany did amazing with my two cats & was super flexible on dates/times when I had some last-minute changes! Loved the photos and will definitely have her on the list as a repeat sitter!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and regularly help neighbors, friends, and family with pet sitting and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with owners. I work full-time but maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate daily drop-ins, walks, and overnight care when needed. Pet care is built into my routine — caring for my own animals is the first and last part of every day. I prioritize reliability and consistency, and I communicate clearly about availability. My home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of secure space for supervised outdoor play. Inside, I have hardwood floors and an open layout with room for pets to relax comfortably. I have two crates available if needed and maintain structured areas for feeding, water, rest, and play. Safety, supervision, and routine are my top priorities, and I ensure pets are monitored and comfortable at all times.

About: I grew up on a farm and helped take care of animals since as far back as I can remember. I have done various pet sitting and house sitting jobs over the years, a roommate with a dog and I have my own cat. I am comfortable in the city and the country. Pet owners have commented many times that their pet warms up to me faster than other people. I am a nurse during the day, so it is in my nature to pay attention to details and be a caregiver of both the human and furry variety. I split my time between the eastern side of the metro and Western Wisconsin. My day job hours are flexible in the summer and often work remote, which leaves me more opportunities for house and pet sitting. I sometimes have my two teenage sons stay with me that love animals and are kind and respectful. Depending on your comfort level, I sometimes work as a team with my boyfriend and his service dog. His service dog gets along with other dogs. My boyfriend is also on Rover and trains dogs. We all would be more than happy to do a meet and greet to see if you were open to these visitors. I believe in basic trust and honesty, and making you and your pet as comfortable as possible. I am a good communicator that can follow a plan, but that is also flexible and adaptable to the needs of a pet or family. I like to make sure that everyone is on the same page with expectations and daily communication when caring for your pet or home. Something that carries over from my nursing background is I will leave you a detailed log of what happened while your beloved pet(s) were in my care, to give an extra layer of peace of mind.

About: Hi! I’m Becky, a lifelong dog lover who knows that every pup deserves attention, exercise, and love while their people are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cozy snuggles, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for—just like they’re my own. I’m reliable, patient, and can adapt to any dog’s personality! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I’m currently not working and have a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time each day to give dogs my full attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Caring for animals brings me joy, so I love being able to dedicate my time to it. I treat every client’s home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow your directions closely for feeding, walks, and routines to make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I always clean up after the pets, lock up properly, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing everything’s going smoothly.

“Carolyn is dependable, and she is so wonderful with my dog. I’m glad to have found her on Rover & plan to continue having her watch my dog.”

About: I grew up fostering dogs and have experience with up to 6 dogs in a household. I have experience with a wide range of sizes and age from 17 year old chihuahuas to 4 month old pitbulls. I also have experience with medically complex dogs including epilepsy, heart disease, extreme anxiety and more. I am very flexible and accommodating schedule wise. I am available on all weekdays and willing to stop by during the day. I am up early and willing to stay late if needed I am neat and tidy in a home and attentive to the animals. When walking dogs I am careful to stay away from other dogs and to keep a short leash.

“Amber was a wonderful sitter! Amber had excellent communication, shared updates with photos & took excellent care of our 3 pets. We would highly recommend Amber as a future sitter!”
