We and Charley look forward to having her dog sit again.”

Thank you, Marykay, for being so wonderful!”

We’re new to Minneapolis and feel lucky to have found Kaitlin. If you’re looking for a communicative, trustworthy, and friendly pet sitter, we highly recommend!”

“Brandon did a great job with my big teenager rescue dog, who is super sweet but still working on some aspects of being on leash. I appreciated how communicative, clean, and non-invasive Brandon was in the whole process. I’m thankful that Rover connected us!”

Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah was so great with our two dogs and cat! She was responsible, neat, respectful, kind. Everything we could hope for!!! So happy to have worked with Sarah!!! I give her the highest recommendation.
Once again, Autumn did an excellent job taking care of of Luna and allllll of the other house tasks while we were in Iceland. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rebecca was so great with our dog Winnie. She sent lots of cute pictures and was very communicative. We came home to a dog who clearly had a very relaxing and fun staycation!
Katelin is an amazing dog sitter!! We've had her sit several times and she’s so great to work with! She shares updates and photos and even helped us out in a pinch when we got delayed getting home. Thank you so much :)
Kaitlin was super professional and provided updates and pictures throughout our trip. She was super friendly and kind to our animals, even managing to befriend our more shy kitties. My dog can be a little bit needy and a bit anxious when we aren’t home but Kaitlin took this in stride and managed it well through some enrichment activities. Overall, a great experience that we would repeat.
Of all the Rover sitters I’ve had house + cat sit, and there’ve been quite a few, Lucas is #1 in my book. From our initial meet & greet, I felt good about leaving my two cats and house in his hands. He was totally trustworthy, as expected, and exceeded my expectations in several ways. One thing I try my best to do is offer clear instructions. That Lucas obviously studied them closely was apparent; there were absolutely no surprises when I returned. Both my house and the cats were well cared for; he'd done what I’d asked of him, and then some. Another thing that stood out is that I never once had to wait for updates, nor be the one to check in with him. Updates came at regular and reasonable intervals, with photos and videos, and our exchanges were enjoyable. Lucas clearly loves cats, so the only disappointment (as far as I know) is that my two, being creatures of habit, were slow to warm up, but I’m hoping they’ll have more opportunities to become better acquainted in the future. I’ll definitely call on Lucas again, and could not recommend him more highly.
Bonnie is terrific. She went far and above. She handled my anxious dog with ease. I would 100% ask her to sit for me and my guys. I cannot say enough good things about her!
Brandon did a great job with my big teenager rescue dog, who is super sweet but still working on some aspects of being on leash. I appreciated how communicative, clean, and non-invasive Brandon was in the whole process. I’m thankful that Rover connected us!
Carly communicated clearly and regularly about the animals. She obviously was enjoying being with them and I felt so comfortable leaving our pets with her. She stayed in our house and was so incredibly respectful. We appreciate her so much! Would definitely reach out to book with Carly again.
Kiley was our lifesaver! I last minute needed an in-home sitter for 9 days, and Kiley was able to work around her schedule and make it happen. She was communicative, respectful of my home, responsive to all instructions I left, and very capable of handling my reactive dog on walks. My dog felt comfortable with her and really enjoyed their time together! Incredibly grateful for Kiley’s services!
Olga and Natalia make a great team! Our two dogs and cat were happy and well taken care of while we were away. They were very communicative, sent lots of pictures and left our home clean. We will definitely request their services again. Thank you!
Ellior was an absolute joy as a pet-sitter! She was an excellent communicator, so responsive, provided incredible loving care to our dog, Hank. We can’t wait to hire her again!
Kristina took great care of our senior pup! She understood his dog reactivity and handled him well. She was also a great house guest! The place looked just as we left it.
I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Marisa! I needed someone last minute for a holiday weekend and I was lucky that she was available. She was great at communicating with me throughout the weekend sending pictures and updates. I felt like my pup was in good hands. She left my apartment very tidy. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter!
Mary was great with the pups, instant connection from the initial meeting and she sent photos and updates when prompted. Our larger dog has a torn ACL and can’t go up the stairs, Mary would lift her up to the bedroom at night so that she wouldn’t be alone downstairs, which was very thoughtful. We’d definitely bring Mary back, she had great questions, house was clean upon return and enjoyed our communication.
Emma spent lots of quality time with our anxious rescue dog, who warmed up to her right away & was snuggling up in no time!
Sarah was a very reliable and caring dog and house sitter. She even went above and beyond when we had a power outage, helping to ensure the power was back on to all the critical parts of our house. Would definitely recommend Sarah!!
Sophia took great care of Fen and my apartment! She was very communicative and gave great updates. Fen was well taken care of while I was gone!
Val was the sweetest! She sent me pictures and updates of Zeke while I was away! She kept my apartment very clean and Zeke looked like he was so happy spending time with her! Zeke is leash reactive and Val was so honest with me about how their outside trips went which I really appreciated! Thank you for treating him like your own Val!
