“Thank you for watching our boys!”
“Thank you Nyree, my Inosuke was so happy and comfortable in your home my son said Inosuke cried because he had to go home. You help me reduced my anxiety especially since this was his first day care. I appreciate you so much, highly recommend and will use again.”
“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!”
“Amanda and Sage were great hosts. It was Hans' first time at daycare and he came home tired and happy. Access to a fenced in backyard was ideal and Amanda was great about communicating with me around how things were going.”
“Howie is very kind and took excellent care of my little man. Nigel seemed so comfortable and happy there. He gave great updates, and was very thorough with the plan of care when Nigel stays. Nigel will be staying with him every Wednesday!”
“Mckenzie was great! Moxie was obviously very happy there and went straight to bed when she got home! Thank you so very much! Mckenzie was super responsive to any questions! Denise and Jonathan”
“Can't say enough about how grateful I am for Amy. My guy clearly enjoys his time with her based on the pictures she sends - I can tell he is happy and feels safe. I would definitely recommend Amy - 5 stars all the way!”
“Kathryn, was great and was willing to do a meet and greet on a really short notice and willing to take my dog in. Unfortunately my tire got a flat and was unable to drop off the dog so I canceled the appointment for the housesitting very last minute and she was so gracious about it.”
“Asha took great care of my elderly dog and was able to work with my schedule, would book 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.
“We booked day boarding with Lydia to accommodate holiday visits with family in the Twin Cities at Christmas. Illness changed our plans but we did use Lydia for fewer days and found her responsive, happy to work with our sweet, shy beagle, and her house and yard were perfect.”
“Summit was very comfortable! Loved the pics Jackson sent. Will use again!”
“Krista and Alex took great care of lily. It was a challenge because my pup is afraid of storms. But they did a great job. Booking was last minute and I appreciated their help.”
“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.”
“Our dog, Khota, has gotten really attached to Kira but we're not surprised because she's great with him, knowledgeable and very dedicated to her work. We have the utmost confidence in leaving our little, four legged family member with her and will continue to have her watch Khota for the foreseeable future.”

“Karen and Ryan have been the best sitters for my puppy. He’s always so happy to go to their house. They’ve been feeding him and helping with a medical need during the day and are flexible when I’m running late from work. Would recommend them to friends and family!”
About: We have a large, fully fenced in back yard. 2 kids age 9 and 13 who love dogs and live close to the park. I mostly work from home, so am able to take your pup on multiple walks a day.

I have a large fenced in yard and take 2-3 walks per day.

Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kate and nate took great care of our puppy and even took her for a walk. She loved playing with their dog and came home happy and tired. Would recommend!
Colleen and Rosie were extremely welcoming of Santos. Very accommodating of a last minute request. Made Santos feel right at home while she's recovering from an injury. Highly recommended.
Abe and his sidekick Stella are awesome. We were in town for work and just needed a dogsitter for the day (on very short notice) and Abe picked up and dropped off our little guy for us. He was exhausted upon return too which was another plus! 10/10 stay.
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!
My dog always has a great time at daycare with Sara. We are so thankful to have somebody we can trust to watch him when we need to be away from home. We will be back again the next time we need daycare services.
Alaijah was amazing! She responded quickly and was willing to dog sit at the last minute (less than 12 hours notice). She literally saved the day for us. We are very happy with her and would definitely prefer her for next time too.
Goldy was excited to come back to see Zoe and her dogs! He got a good walk and I was updated throughout his stay.
Appreciated the care shown to my dog. He jept me informed throughout the day as to my dog's status. Thanks!
Celia is great! She was super positive and very good at accommodating my pets needs and even had a kennel ready to go!
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!!
Lauren took great care of my pup for the day, and I got lots of updates about the fun they were having together. Highly recommend!
Jane was great, as always. Very accommodating and flexible. Great communication!!!! Our pup, Lucky, will be back!
Charley feels so comfortable and at home with Kimi! Kimi does a great job with sending updates and pics. Highly recommend!
Ashley did a great job with our dog. He was a little anxious in the beginning but she did a great job calming him down. She sent us pictures with frequent updates and we really appreciate that!
Xena had such a great time at Amy's. She went over the first day apprehensive of big dogs but after spending time playing with Amy's lab, sees them all as friends! She came home tired each day and we got plenty of updates throughout the day. Thanks Amy!
Courtney took excellent care of my Cavapoo puppy one evening. He came home tired so he must have enjoyed his time with her Cavapoo. Courtney communicated well as we set up the evening dog care. I highly recommend her.
Savannah was great! Excellent communication and frequent updates. Our pup was very happy when we picked him up. I highly recommend Savannah.
Joy was great with our dogs! She showed up on time and took great care of both pups! Will definitely work with Joy again.
We sent our high-energy dog to Toni for a full 12 hours and she was so easy to communicate with and super flexible with scheduling. The peace of mind to know that she was cared for and got a walk in during the day was wonderful. Highly recommend Toni for any doggy daycare needs!
