2. Kira & Alejandro C.
“Kira was wonderful. She was very flexible and fast when contacting her for the reservation. She provided lots of videos and photo updates. She even asked if she could give our dog a bath.”
3. Timmothy F.
“Tim was great! Had to find a sitter with less than a weeks notice and Tim was able to accommodate. Our pup Leo had such a fun time, so happy to have found a sitter we can consistently use”
4. Lauren & Michael H.
“Lauren and Michael were amazing with Astra! They sent me great (and funny) pictures of Astra doing her favorite things: sleeping and playing. Astra was happy and healthy when I picked her up. Will definitely be booking again!”
5. Lydia M.
“I trust my babies with Lydia and always enjoy seeing pictures and stories throughout their stay. Lydia has given us our sanity back with our two separation anxiety pups and being able to leave them with someone they're happy with.”
6. Ana D.
“Ana watched Mabel for about 5 days and Mabel just had the best time. She was so well taken care of an Ana sent so many cute photos and updates throughout the time that she was there. Mabel came back happy and healthy and is already looking forward to her next vacation with Ana!”
7. Erin T.
“Erin was a great pet sitter for our Bernese Mountain Dog. She accepted our meet and greet request right away and we were happy with Erin, her dog Eggie and her home and fenced yard. Erin did a great job providing us with regular updates and photos. She was also flexible with changes to our travel plans. We recommend Erin if you are looking for a dog sitter in the metro area.”
8. Alyson Z.
“Alyson is the best dogsitter around. We never worry about our dogs when they are with her. They always have fun and are super excited when they know they are going to her house.”
9. Betsy B.
“Betsy is always so helpful & clearly takes great care of Stella. Stella loves her time at Betsy's & it is truly home away from home for her when we are out of town, which is always comforting to us.”
10. Jenny M.
“Jenny is great! She gave our little Honey lots of playtime and attention. She was also very friendly and flexible. We would definitely recommend her!”
11. Kiya J.
“Kiya was wonderful with my senior dog, Sky! I felt very at ease and she sent many pictures and updates to let me know how my girl was doing while we were away.”
12. Maria B.
“Maria was AMAZING with my little Potato! For the first time, all our family and friends did not work out, so I found Rover and I was off to the races. I was so worried about leaving him with a veritable stranger for a week, but it worked out perfectly. Maria was good to meet at her place briefly before I booked just to make sure all was well, which of course it was. She sent so many pics and vids! It’s clear he spent plenty of time with the family, not sitting in a small space all day like he would have been if boarded elsewhere. She even took him on a walk one day when it was a little less deathly freezing out. Thank you so much Maria!”
13. McKenna T.
“McKenna was a wonderful sitter for my dog Penny. Penny was brought on fun adventures, had plenty of attention, and was very comfortable with McKenna. McKenna is also great about sending frequent updates with the cutest photos. I will definitely be booking with McKenna again for any future boarding needs!”
14. howie i.
“We have a 5 month old puppy who had never stayed alone and were worried how he would do for the first time we were leaving him . Howie made us and Pluto very comfortable with the process and eased our concerns Pluto came back happy !”
15. Amy P.
“Bentley had a great time with Amy! She made him very much at home, with plenty of treats, walks, and couches! She was also flexible when my flight home was delayed and I needed to pick Bentley up a bit late. Definitely recommended!”
16. Colleen & Joe K.
“Colleen and Joe were great with Tillie! Colleen was so friendly, welcoming, and genuine, I immediately knew Tillie would be in good hands as soon as we met. Very quick communication and sent daily updates with pictures during my trip. Would absolutely book again and recommend to others!”
17. Theodore S.
“Ted saved the day for us by hosting Bandit overnight with little notice. He sent a photo shortly after Bandit settled, which I really appreciated. Ted genuinely cared about Bandit’s comfort and was quick with communication. I will gladly book Ted (& Alice!) again!”
18. Luis R.
“Incredible job with my dog. Near immediate responses and multiple daily updates. Would recommend Luis to anyone with a pet needing a rover in the Twin Cities.”
19. Naira P.
“Naira was great about providing updated & pics on our dog’s stay. This was especially helpful as he experienced an eye irritation during his stay, which she let us know about right away so we could discuss next steps & get him the products he needed to feel comfortable until our return. We would definitely use again.”
20. Maria S.
“Maria is the absolute best!! She watched my pup for a week and always sent me pictures and videos! I was concerned my pup was going to have to be dragged out all the fun she was having!! I just picked her up a couple hours ago and she is passed out after running around with the other dogs and all the walks!! I will only go to Maria in the future!”
