“Abigail was an amazing sitter. We immediately felt comfortable with her from the moment she met our pup. She had great communication and gave our pup all the love. Would highly recommend to anyone with any type of pet, her background gives her great experience and she is a sitter to be trusted.”
“Briana was great with my three animals! She was communicative and provided updates while watching them. I’ve used Briana for drop ins and pet sitting and highly recommend for both!”
“Emerson was an amazing sitter for our two girls. I got daily updates, came home to a clean home and didn’t worry one bit while we were away. We came home to two very happy doggos and will definitely book again. Thank you for taking such good care of our girls and making it so easy to enjoy our vacation. We appreciate you!”
“Samantha sent great updates and took good care of our fur friends while we were out of town. She took care in our home, as well. We will definitely request her services again.”
“Sophia is amazing!! When Sophia watched our dog, Winnie, we got nightly updates with humor and multiple photos &/or videos. We looked forward to the updates each night. We could tell Winnie felt comfortable with Sophia, too. We'll definitely use Sophia in the future.”
“Jade is an absolute delight! My girl was well taken care of and Jade is incredibly conscientious with my home as well. Excellent, swift, transparent communicator. Would love to have her back!”
“Biiftuu was an excellent dog sitter. She clearly took good care of my little Aussie poo. She sent good pictures and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.”
“Lucy is the best! We're repeat customers and will continue to use Lucy for as long as she sits!!! She's great with the animals, super communicative, and leaves the house in pristine condition! 5 stars!!”
“Sarah did a great job with our senior dog (who still acts like a pup). She sent updates and our house looked as good as it did when we left for the weekend. Sarah is trustworthy and Moose loves her, which is a win-win for our family!”
“My husband and I just moved to the Twin Cities area and we had previously always had friends we could rely on to watch our dog and check on our cat. So this was a new experience for us (mostly me, let’s be honest), but Justin was great and kept me updated while we were gone on how they were both doing. My dog is a silly nervous boy and Justin knew how to get him to warm up. I’m so glad we could find someone we trust with our fur babies!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was little. I grew up always having a dog in the house, and pet sitting for neighbors' dogs and cats. I also have some experience in a small animal clinic, as well as caring for my sisters dog when she is away. I am a full-time student at CSU, but I have time in between classes, and they generally end around 2-3. My evenings are more open and I am flexible to fit to the needs of the animal. I am very comfortable with dogs and am good at reading body language. I am comfortable distributing meds, food , water, etc. I am willing to have dogs in my car if we were to go to a park, etc.
“This was our first time with Chuck and all went well! He reached out where clarification was needed and responded and shared updates, house was clean and Churro seemed happy :) Will definitely keep him in mind for the future.”
“Margaret is a great pet sitter for our anxious little chihuahua mix. She gave her enough time to get used to her and gained her trust. This is a big reason why we use Rover pet sitting rather than boarding and Margaret did really well with her.”
“Peggy watched our dog for us for a week while we were on vacation. Our pup has anxiety, and Peggy did a great job helping Ember feel safe and be calm while we were gone. She also gave our dog her medications as we had asked. Along with taking great care of our dog and sending us daily updates and pictures, she was very respectful of our home and she even watered my flowers and shrubs for me! 10/10, would definitely hire Peggy again.”
“Adrienne is an excellent dog sitter, I'm glad I hired her for this past weekend at my place. I was even gone a little past what I quoted for time frame and she was incredibly understanding!! Chance warmed up to her right away which is always a great sign - and I felt at ease when I was gone. Will definitely hire her again!”

Ciboney was amazing with my two dogs - one of them has some behavioral issues and she handled it like a champ. She even managed to bond with my standoffish cattle dog as well! He loves her. Communication was clear and consistent, and it was the first time in a while I felt at ease while leaving my dogs on a trip. Will definitely rebook!
Andy was amazing with Snipper! She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. It was clear that Andy spent a lot of time playing with Snipper and giving her plenty of attention, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Snipper was in such good hands. I highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Andy!
Caitlin watched Panda for over a week and kept us updated of what was going on pretty well. What was important to us was to have someone at home and not to leave Panda alone for too long. She accommodated our ask and kept Panda on his regular schedule. We felt that she took great care of Panda while we were away.
Sean and Kimbrey are truly exceptional dogsitters! They housesat our three high-energy, high-quirk heeler-mix rescues for two weeks, and even the one who takes years to warm up to anyone warmed up to them. We received lots of photos and videos while we traveled. And I think we returned to a house that was cleaner than we left it. Seriously, Sean and Kimbrey are awesome and you should hire them.
Natalie stayed at our house for a week to care for our 6 month old kitten and our drama queen of a 2 year old dog. She was so patient and made accomodations for our anxious dog and "toddler" cat. Our house was well cared for and we had such great peace of mind being out of state for a week knowing she was there. We received a perfect amount of updates and pictures. Natalie was a total professional and we would highly recommend her.
