“Was very communicative and nice, sent frequent updates and showed flexibility around pick off and drop off time. Our dog was very happy there and came back in a great mood. Would book again 😊”


“Joe was amazing! My dog, Chocolate Chip, loved him and his sweet dog Henry. Joe gave me so many great tips as a first-time dog owner and was incredibly accommodating with my work schedule. I felt completely at ease knowing Chip was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with Joe again soon!”


“Ellen is so patient & understanding with my fearful dog. I drop my dog off with a wagging tail which says a lot! I am so grateful for her & her availability and communication.”


“Alyson is great! My 5 month old puppy, Jojo, is so tired when I pick her up. It's perfect! Jojo loves going there too, she's only been there a few times yet she gets so excited when she realizes we are walking over. Alyson makes sure that the dogs get ample play time, it is so nice to know my puppy is happy and well cared for while I am at work. It's so great that my puppy gets to socialize and learn how to be around other dogs. Drop off and pick up is a breeze, Alyson has made the whole process seamless. This has been such a relief while my boyfriend is out of town and I'm on single dog mom duty. Thank you, Alyson!”


“We travel everywhere with Charlie. She loves being part of our day and we can’t imagine her not being along. Sometimes, to her disappointment, we just can’t take her to everything. So, imagine our surprise when her happiest day was hanging with her dog sitter. It was obvious she loved Amy from the start. All wiggles and permanent grins. Amy was very communicative and made it clear Charlie was her priority. She quickly adapted to the challenges of the heat this weekend and made everything so easy! We can’t recommend her enough. I do think Charlie wishes we were as cool as Amy but she’s stuck with us dorks.”



“So, i was pretty nervous to leave my precious, sick, 4-month-old furbaby with an internet stranger. But we had good conversations beforehand and he had lots of good reviews. Well, the reviews are well deserved! Puppy had a fine time. Howie (and his wife) clearly took great care of her! Would definitely book again. I just need to figure my schedule out.”


“Mckenzie really saved my butt last minute for my foster pup that needed some daycare. Really appreciate her flexibility, affordability, and exceptional care of little Ruby. Would definitely book again:-)”


“Megan is a fantastic sitter. My pup Ollie has been staying with her once a week for several months now. She’s always friendly and communicative, and takes steps to adjust to my dogs “special needs” (ie moving a pot that scared him, and picking up his poop before he can get to it 😹). Additionally, when Ollie had a minor coughing fit she reached out to let me know about it, and sent visual evidence that he was perfectly okay. I know Ollie will always be in good hands with her!”



“It was my 3 month old puppy’s first time at doggy daycare and Lydia made me feel very comfortable leaving my puppy alone for the whole day with Lydia’s own puppies and other dogs she was taking care of. She also took pictures to update me on my puppy. Will definitely book Lydia again.”


About: We're Anna and David, and we live in Minneapolis with our young kid. We would love to watch your dog while you're away! We have a private backyard in a dog-friendly neighborhood – lots of sidewalks, parks, and lakes around. We both enjoy walking, being outside, and doggy snuggles. David grew up with a dog, and Anna grew up with ferrets and has ferret, cat, and dog sat since she was a teenager. We have experience administering medicine to dogs. Our kid is used to being around dogs. We ask that your dog also have experience around kids and be good with them if you consider a stay in our home. As a couple, we had a rescue dog the entirety of our decade-plus long relationship until recently. After the death of our beloved dog, we are not yet ready for a new dog but are missing them in our lives. We look forward to hosting your pup! We both work from home and have flexible schedules. We enjoy the companionship of having a dog around and take regular walks throughout the day. We have a small dog bed and treats. We have space for a crate if necessary. Regular outside time is important for us, and we would include your pup when we are outside whenever possible. Our backyard is partially fenced. If needed, we have a yard stake and leash. We spend a lot of time in our backyard in warmer months, for work, meals, and gatherings and would only keep dogs in the yard if we are out there.

“Having recently moved to MN with a dog who has a challenging past and anxiety, I was initially worried for my dog, Benji. But thankfully, Benji is at complete ease thanks to Grace and Luke’s experience, care, and attention. In fact, he has so much fun and even cuddles with them! It’s clear to me that Grace and Luke go above and beyond for all the dogs who come under their care and I can’t recommend them enough. They are also just great communicators, listeners, and lovely people. Thank you so much, Grace and Luke!”


“Best sitters ever! Couldn’t recommend Karen and Ryan enough. Lambo absolutely LOVES when he goes over to their house and gets the wiggles every time he see them. Just proves how much they care for your dog like their own. They’re very flexible with my schedule and I can’t appreciate that enough.”


“Emilie was so good to my dog, Walter. I felt really comfortable leaving her with him for the whole day. She sent tons of pictures of him while I was at work and said he played all day -- which was perfect! I'm definitely going to be rebooking in the future. :-) Walter was pooped once we got home.”


“Absolutely incredible experience. Celia was easy to communicate with and sent me pics of my pup throughout the day. I would love to book again - highly recommmend”


About: I grew up with dogs, have always loved dogs, have taken care of countless dogs over the years, and I have my own as well. I have what I would consider to be a healthy mix of excellent boundaries (no begging for human food, etc) with dubious boundaries (my dog gets to sleep under the covers). I work from home with my dog and I typically let him out in our fenced backyard upwards of four times per day, with extended yard time during lunch. We live in a single-family home with no kids and a fully-fenced backyard. Dogs in my care can expect to be safely let out into the fenced yard several times per day.

“Kira and Alejandro were awesome with my pup. Walks and pics and when I got back, he didn’t want to leave. ??♀️ They have 2 pups and I could tell mine really liked them. It was a relief to know my pup had such a good day.”


“Anastasia was wonderful with my girl! Gerti was excited to go there and was sad to leave! Weather was really cold but she managed to take her out for a few short walks each day. I would definitely recommend!!”

Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
So thankful for Misty and Brian taking on our kiddos last minute. And Roland even peed on their carpet and they were so sweet about it…. I guess we were all more stressed than I realized (we just had a death in the family). Cannot express our thanks enough! ❤️

Alaijah was incredible!! She was willing to watch Reggie on short notice & made our first time leaving him a breeze! You could tell she truly cares for and loves on every pet she takes in :) He walked away with her & never looked back!! We will definitely bring Reggie back to Alaijah in the future!

Milo had a wonderful time with Gracie and Diane! So grateful to have such a loving and conscientious home for him to visit. Milo especially loved the large, fenced yard - he did not want to leave! :) Looking forward to booking with Diane again, and excited about the boarding option, too. Highly recommend! If I could give more than 5 stars - I definitely would!

Caleigh is wonderful! My husband and I were looking for someone to watch our dog last minute. Caleigh responded right away and said she was available. She took great care of our puppy. He loved his time with her. She even updated us and sent us pictures. We will definitely book her again! Thanks Caleigh!!
