“Absolutely fantastic. Our pup who doesn’t love new people was drawn to Mary right away! She made a great effort to get to know him and his needs prior to her stay at the house and even came by to meet him and play with him. We felt 100% comfortable and confident in leaving our dog and home in her care. We got home and everything was left as we found it! Very good communication and sent lots of fun pictures of our pup!”

“We were very lucky to find Iuliia. She stayed with our very sweet, but very anxious dog over the holidays. It took our pup a little while to adjust, but she quickly warmed up and the two became fast friends. We will definitely work with Iuliia again in the future.”

About: I've loved and taken care of animals since I was about 3 years old. I always asked to be the one to feed the dog before dinner! I have 2 cats, who are my world. I have a lot of experience with dogs, and have a chihuahua named RiotGrrl. I love dogs. My family has always had dogs, and i once lived in a home where I helped care for 6 dogs, a cat and a rat. I have 26 years of pet care and sitting experience. I'm able to do overnight sitting in your home, walks and baths! Meal times too, of course. I would love to make your pup or cat my new fuzzy best friend! I'm currently free full time for pet care! Im available from 6am-8am and again from 1pm to 12am all weekdays and weekends. I'm available for walking and pet sitting for holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas etc). I do same day booking for walks, but require one day notice for stay in sittings. I prefer to watch animals in their own home, so they are the comfiest they can be. My apartment doesnt allow me to board unfortunately. I will completely stick to your pets normal daily schedule while they are in my care.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats (and other animals) since I was a kid. A proud godmother of a Yorkshire Terrier, a sweet gentleman. Got on Rover during college, and I absolutely loved it. My situation makes it hard to raise my own pets, so I take the chance to be around them whenever I could. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility and time to provide attentive care for animals, including long walks and companionship. This allows me to be consistently present and available while pet sitting. I’m not currently able to host pets in my own space, but I take the time to get familiar with each new environment so I can provide the best possible care. I make communication with owners a priority, especially when learning the details of a new home or routine.
“Absolutely terrific service. She made little videos after each visit that showed her time with my kitties. It was such a joy. First language is no English, but that does not have any impact on the amazing service, so please consider Sumak! I know I will be requesting in the future.”

“Summer was so great from meet-and-greet through the stay with my two pups. I appreciated the prompt communication and could see my dogs had a great time while I was away. Thank you!”

“Jenny was fantastic! Highly recommend her. She’s professional and calm and kind and everything our young hyper dog needed. Can’t thank her enough for making us feel so safe and worry free with her watching over the house and our boy.”


“Robert was communicative, sent updates/photos throughout the day, and took great care of Pukka. Really appreciated his flexibility and attentiveness. Pukka seemed very happy and comfortable with him. Thank you again!”

“MaryKay was fantastic! Very quick to reply and stay at my place within a 48 hour lookup. You can tell she truly cares about all animals and your house. Sent updates and even made all my bedding after a long trip. Couldn’t ask for anyone better honestly.”

“Brandon was amazing watching our 3 doggos for the weekend! He was communicative and sent photos each day. He even made sure our dudes had fun in the sun and got their pool out. Could not recommend enough!”

“It’s obvious that Erin LOVES animals. She took such great care of my two babies while I was out of town for work with regular updates to me so I didn’t miss them so much. She was also very respectful of my living space. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Avita took great care of my two cats and even spent extra time with them while I was gone on a longer trip. She made both the kitties and myself feel completely at ease. By the end of the trip, they were her new best friends—curling up on her chest and giving her kisses, which is a massive compliment from my cats! She also took special care of my plants. She is thoughtful, kind, highly responsive, and so easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Azia’s awesome! Took great care of my Gracie — and my condo — twice. Great communication, super-diligent, and I couldn’t even tell she’d been in my pace after staying there a few days. Will absolutely rebook.”

“Lilah was awesome with my dogs, and keeping me updated on them. My house was very clean when I returned. Everything was great and I would definitely recommend her, and will book her again in the future! Thanks Lilah!”

“Kit was awesome to work with! She took super good care of my cat—Juniper B. Jones, and made sure she was a happy camper while I was away. Kit had great communication before and during the visit; even communicating that a storm warning had been issued, but that all was well at the apartment. I was sent pictures of my cat playing and having a great time. My house was very clean when I got back home, and she had even done the dishes. 10/10 would recommend and would book again. My cat loved her! ?????????”

“Jessica was fantastic. She stayed in our apartment and was super communicative and responsive organizing the logistics, understood everything we explained and we felt reassured after doing the meet and greet that he will be left in good hands. She sent photos at least 3X / day, it was clear that Tucker loved her as he was snuggling up next to Jessica on the couch. Will definitely book her again, and I recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Our family has been struggling for several years to find a responsible, reliable sitter for our dog. Well, that struggle is over. Chuck is simply the best. He obviously cares about animals and seemed to really get our dog's quirks. He is professional, communicative...and he left our home in immaculate condition. We are lucky to have become acquainted with Chuck and will definitely be reaching out to him in the future!”

About: I started off as a volunteer dog walker at the Minneapolis Animal Care and Control (4 hours/month). Now, I walk dogs regularly for several families throughout the week during my mornings and lunch breaks. I have some flexibility in my daily schedule as I currently work fully remote. I aim to walk dogs in the morning or lunch time. I do occasionally travel for work for about a few days out of the month (exclusively during the weekdays). But I always make sure to keep my calendar updated as much as I can. When I’ve taken care of my friend’s or neighbor’s pets, it’s been for a couple of days or a week. Sometimes, I would drop by to feed them and bring them out. Or there’d be times where I’d just sit and do work at their home while occasionally taking breaks to play or socialize with their pet.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Central is $50

Jenny was a great dog sitter! Friendly, great questions and communication, and we knew our dogs were well cared for. She took our pups for separate walks as they’re a bit reactive together, and she sent photos while we were away which we loved! Highly recommend Jenny.

Ej was fantastic! You can tell she has a way with animals, and shes the perfect mix of responsible while being laid back. When we came home from our trip our place was spotless and our animals were happy! She was also extremely responsive when we reached out and sent us some great photos. We will book again :)

Hannah was wonderful with our two dogs during a 10 day trip away. She was reliable, sent updates of their wellbeing and time together, and while house sitting took care of our home. She was easy to communicate with, very comfortable with our dogs and their care needs. We will certainly hire her again!

Katelin was a phenomenal dog sitter. Very communicative, including times she planned to be away from our home during her stay. We received multiple updates on our pup throughout the stay. Our pup was definitely sad to see Katelin go, and I know she’ll be SO excited to have her come stay again. Would highly recommend!

We were in such a bind. A family trip we had looked forward to for years. A friend was supposed to watch our animals and our home for the week we were gone but ended up in the hospital. With our departure on the 4th of July, everyone we knew was out of town. We were nervous, having never used Rover for housesitting, and with our departure in less than two days. Anna was a dream. She was communicative, caring, and asked thoughtful questions. We received photos and updates every day we were gone, which provided such peace of mind. We returned home to happy animals and a tidy home - such a gift. We will be using Anna again in the future and highly recommend her. Thank you, Anna. You saved our family trip!

Honestly I cannot think of a single way that Chris could improve. He is the BEST! He gave Marlowe his undivided attention, was incredibly communicative and observant of her habits and preferences, and also took great care of our home. We were gone for over a week, and that's a lot to ask of someone, especially when our energetic girl appreciates long walks everyday in hot July! Chris made it seem easy, which helped us truly enjoy our vacation. Marlowe will absolutely be spending more time with her new bestie! 🥰

Tori took such good care of our dogs and also house while we were gone on an extended trip. She is a great communicator - reaching out when she needed to, and sending regular updates so that we knew all was well and could relax while we were away. House was nicely tidy and clean when we got back - we arrived late, so it was particularly appreciated to be able to hug happy dogs and go to sleep right away. We will definitely be booking again!
