1. Ajia W.
About: Willing to commute 🐾 Thank You For my wonderful variety of new and regular clients who make it possible to work with my Petsitting business full time! Insured (PSI) ✔️ First Aid✔️ Trustworthy✔️ I offer drop-in visits and walks, overnight sitting and extended stays. I also now offer daytime sitting (Daycare) only in the pet owner’s home, for pets who need company for a certain period of time without leaving or who cannot be alone at all during the day (Hourly rate similar to drop-ins). I do not currently host pets besides my own in my home. Rates are per animal per night, including any exotic pets. Additional fee for services 20 miles away or more. Having grown up on a hobby farm, begging for more pets to take care of in a family of 𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕡𝕠𝕟𝕤𝕚𝕓𝕝𝕖 𝕕𝕠𝕘 𝕓𝕣𝕖𝕖𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕤 and 𝕒𝕟𝕚𝕞𝕒𝕝 𝕗𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕚𝕖𝕣𝕤, I have been exposed from early childhood to the ins and outs of animal care through all stages of a pet’s life. 🐎🐶🐱🦜🦚 I have experience with basic training of my family’s and my own many unique dogs from a variety of different Mastiff and Bulldogs breeds, along with many others, also raising and teaching young horses. I always love to learn something new with your pets! I especially have a soft spot for baby animals and elderly pets as well, as I have experience with extensive care of newborn puppies, kittens, and other animals, including bottle feeding and other surrogate mom duties! And I can help administer your pet’s medicines, unique diets, and other needs. Spending time helping at a kennel free pet care facility has completely opened my eyes to the comradery and collective growth of the community surrounding animal care, and I am grateful to be involved! I also have gained experience managing situations, working with reactive pets, and assisting socializing our Covid babies. My own pets have included a diverse menagerie of XL to pocket sized pets! At home, I enjoy caring for • Cats & Dogs • Aquarium/terrarium animals • Parrots & other birds • Exotics, farm animals and horses • Houseplants & gardens Cleaning in the home, Pet Bathing, Dog Yard Cleaning, and Gardening are available for a separate fee upon request during stays. Currently learning more about care for bunnies and obedience work with dogs as well. Look me up on the PSA directory for more info! I am very flexible, sometimes running errands between tasks when appropriate. My schedule is filled with primarily overnight and extended stays, then walks and drop ins when the timing is compatible. I am also able to accommodate pets in need of full time supervision as long as this is discussed ahead of time. Daycare is offered in the clients home when pets are injured, sick, or should not be alone for another reason. Please note for overnight and extended stays, that Wednesday night and Sunday morning I have an appointment to attend to for a couple of hours. I spend time also volunteering and occasionally overseeing a kennel-free doggy daycare. When Petsitting, I do like to get out of the house at least once a day if possible, to avoid isolating and to see my own family pets. Please reach out with any pet care needs including extended stays, and we can discuss availability. Important Safety and Agreement information Terms of Agreement between client and sitter: To ensure a Secure and Safe environment, bookings in which a third party has access to the house and/or pets once Petsitting services are enacted are prohibited. This is a major liability risk and breech of this term of service voids my liability and possibly ends the stay ‘early’ as this also is not covered by my business insurance. Times when house cleaners or other services on the property are scheduled during the stay must always be disclosed. MN Residents: Minnesota requires sales tax on Petcare and Petsitting services, which will also be estimated through Rover. Safe Walking: When our Midwest extreme heat or cold strikes, I check with owners and usually opt to play with your pet indoors instead or take them out at the safest time of day temperature wise. I also do not take pets outside without a leash or fence. Safety at Home: Please move toxic plants and valuable items completely out of reach of your pets if there is a possibility of them being chewed. For pets who have accidents, I do my best to clean up messes with the products provided in the home. I have had experience with caring for dogs with aggression toward each other in the same home, and can adapt to many situations as long as safety is secured in the environment prior to my arrival and I am aware of those needs before hand, no exceptions. Privacy: Recording/surveillance of pet sitters in private areas is illegal. I also personally do not accept bookings with other interior surveillance devices. I don’t mind other security measures, but I do need to be aware of them. Thank you! For your own privacy, also please notify me if you would prefer photos of your pet not to be used by me or included in my Rover journal. *My own pets do not accompany me to stays or walks with clients unless requested by a client for socialization.


2. Cindy A.

“Cindy is FANTASTIC!!! She is going out of her way in walking with Hank. He is a challenge still, we greatly appreciate everything Cindy is doing,”


3. Jillissa R.

“Jillissa was great. She followed my directions exactly, and I came home to a happy dog and parakeet. I would easily choose her again.”


4. Morgan R.
“Morgan loves animals and spoils them! Playing, feeding, walking, you name it. Great at communicating and following whatever directions you leave for your fur baby.”


5. Abigail R.
About: I grew up on a farm and hold knowledge of everything from a horse to a quail and I have never not owned a dog or cat. The most amount of animals I have personally owned at once is 104! 98 ducks, 4 geese, 1 cat, and 1 dog! I have also done private grooming for a woman who used to breed and show golden retrievers. My specialty is large breed dogs as throughout my life i have owned and worked with wolf-dogs, german shepherd, dutch shepherds, and hunting hounds. I am currently a college student at Winona State University, so I usually have classes during the day but there are breaks in my schedule! Which allows time for drop-in visits or stopping by your animals if I am house sitting! I also work at a horse farm some weekends and have a part time job at a restaurant so I am normally a busy gal but I absolutely love breaks from my sometimes hectic schedule to unwind and spend time with pets and destress which is a comfort most college students don't have when they're away from home! Quality time and relationships with pets is what is most important to me. Along with that goes long walks or play dates to get the energy out of high drive dogs, or just sitting on the couch with a cuddly cat or senior dog.


6. Cali R.

“Couldn’t be happier! Bodhi needed a walk on a day I was working late and he was taken care of wonderfully!”


7. Erica & Ciara M.
“Ciara did drop in visits for me when I first got my new puppy. She was great with her and the puppy had so many fewer accidents than she would have if I’d only come home on lunch! She also did a great job with the puppy on positive crate association. Now the puppy knows kennel means she goes in the crate and she has no complaints.”


8. Courtney C.
“Courtney is an amazing human being as well as a caring pet caregiver. She has been a lifesaver to our family and our dog, Lulu. She is courteous, punctual, and caring. Courtney goes above and beyond in communicating with us if anything arises with our dog. I highly recommend Courtney and her pet caregiving services. She is topnotch!”


9. Megan M.
“I highly recommend Megan M. to people for dog sitting. She has cared for our two terrier mixes when we traveled, and was reliable, conscientious, and very responsible. The dogs took to her quickly and seemed very comfortable with her when we returned home. Terry A.”


10. Ana M.

“Ana responded right away when I put in my request (dog walking); this was VERY helpful as I made my plans for the day. She came over that same evening to meet/ greet my dog Lady. She took Lady for a very long walk the next day, took some photos of her, etc. I'll definitely be contacting Ana again!”


11. Lynne R.

“Lynne was able to fill in when at the last minute another walker we had booked cancelled. This is the second time we've used her, and our Lulu tells me to book her whenever we need someone to walk her.”


12. Skylar M.

“Outstanding and punctual. Very good communication from Skylar. Swedgin looks forward to his time with her. I feel great at work knowing Skylar has things under control. I would book her again without hesitation. Five 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀”


13. Kristina H.
“I have had Kristina watch my pets a few times. From a puppy to my old dog. All have been well cared for by Kristina. She met my dogs mental and physical needs. Knowing a puppy needs a lot more attention than an old dog but he was kept happy to with attention he needed. Kristina is compassionate about her work as well, bringing to my attention anything she thought might have become an issue.”


14. Naomi B.
“I just got a dog and Naomi has walked/taken care of him several times. She does a great job with him and he loves spending time with her! I 100% would recommend Naomi! 🩷”


15. Rebekah L.

“Rebekah is fantastic. We booked her for another house sitting in December, and she took good care of our dog and parakeet. My husband and I commented many times during our trip how happy we were that she was taking care of our pets. We were able to fully enjoy our trip because we knew Mikka and Chatta were happy and safe. The next time we go on an overnight trip, we're going to reach out to Rebekah first 🙂”


16. Alicia G.

“Alicia was able to help me out on short notice and was very enthused to walk my dog! ? I will recommend her to others and will book her again in the future!”

I am a neat freak so no matter where I am or what I am doing the house and animals will have the best care.
