“We were able to book Alyson 3-4 hours before our drop off time and we are so grateful she was able to accommodate our last minute request so we could have a little date night and not worry about our babe being anxious and alone at home for 5 hours. Alyson was friendly and seemed to be really comfortable with having dogs in her home. Percy made himself comfortable almost immediately (lol) and we could tell he had a great time at Alyson’s at pick up time. We cannot wait to use her services again.”


“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.”


“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!”


“Best sitters ever! Couldn’t recommend Karen and Ryan enough. Lambo absolutely LOVES when he goes over to their house and gets the wiggles every time he see them. Just proves how much they care for your dog like their own. They’re very flexible with my schedule and I can’t appreciate that enough.”


“Chloe has been a great sitter and great with communication. She cares for my dog as her own. Lambo loves to play with her dog Luci all day and is all tuckered out by the end of the day”


“Jacquie & Kyle are incredible! They asked all the right questions and did a meet & greet to ensure Dax was a good fit for their care. It is apparent they have experience with dogs & they took great care of Dax, sending pictures with updates. She came home happy and tired after a day of fun with their family. Thank you!”


“Nhaje was great with my 6-month old pup, she has access to a small, fenced dog park and frequently updates with pictures/videos throughout the day! Highly recommend.”


About: I’ve trained 2 puppies. I’m patient and I genuinely enjoy meeting other people’s dogs. I currently have plenty of time on my hands and this seems like a good way to spend some of it. I’m currently only working part-time. Weekend nights and early mornings (earlier than 10 am) are difficult. Other than that I’m available most days and evenings. I have leashes, a crate, toys, etc. I live in an apartment but there is a dog park 2 blocks away and plenty of green space.

“My puppy just started daycare with Rachel! I have already noticed a difference in his behavior, he came home exhausted with all of his puppy energy gone. I could tell he had a fun and exciting day!! Rachel kept me updated throughout the day and sent me pictures and videos (: Very satisfied !!! Can’t wait to drop my puppy off tomorrow knowing he’s going to be in amazing care ❤️”


About: Pets are like family to me. I will make sure that your pet is safe, loved, and has fun while you are away. They may even learn a new trick or two! I love cats and will provide a discounted rate for anyone who needs to board their cat with me! I currently work from home so I can spend all day with your fur baby. Since I do work from home, I can give your pet lots of walks and play time but they must be able to handle being alone when I am in a meeting. I can accept boardings for cats and dogs between 9am and 6pm. Same day bookings are only available for previous clients. I have a dog park within 3 minutes of my home. Your dog will enjoy playing there everyday. I also have a cat that loves other animals! I have lots of entertainment for a cat as well so they won’t be bored!

“These two were great! Kira met me downstairs and showed me up to her apartment to make sure I felt good about leaving Jackson there. She sent me photos throughout the visit which was great and Jackson came back to me a happy boy! Thank you guys!”


About: My family has always had pets, and we will be sure to treat your baby with the same love and care we give our own! I currently have 3 small senior dogs with my Husband, all of which we have owned since before we were married. They get along well with other dogs their size so if your baby is social they would love to meet our Jojo, Ryder, and Cocoa. Apart from the 3 dogs I currently owned, I was heavily involved in raising my 2 now passed childhood dogs from puppies to seniors, and have experienced with everything from puppy potty training to senior care, behavior management and more. I work from home most days and will be able to keep a good eye on your pet throughout the day. My Husband also works from home often, so most of the time if I have to personally step out, there will still be an adult in the house. On the off chance no one is home, we shall be sure to crate your baby (as we do with our own) while we are gone for no more than 4-5 hours at most. If your pet must be supervised we will make sure to arrange out plans to accommodate their needs We have baby gates at both stairways to ensure our pets don't wander off into mischief. If your pet has mobility issues, fear not as we will happily carry them up and down the stairs to have their time outside. We have a nice large, fully fenced backyard for your pet to roam and play in (supervised of course). Pets are allowed on furniture in our house and we have multiple dog beds and blankets for your pet to snuggle up in around the house. If I need to leave the house for any reason, I also have installed 2 pet cameras to check on them while I am out. Though I take up to 2 dogs at a time, I only book one household at a time, so your pets will only be interacting my own pets during their stay. I also typically propose a meet up beforehand to make sure our pets and yours get along before their stay


“Wow, Nigel had a great time with Savannah & Co.! Savannah was really great to work with - excellent communication throughout the process. Nigel was happy & relaxed when I picked him up, and he seemed sad to say goodbye to Solo. I’ll definitely be rebooking!”


About: I’ve taken care of many different pets my whole life, I grew up with many different pets in my family. I currently have a well trained pet of my own, my friends and family come to me when they are in need of a sitter. I’m currently a part time college student, so I only go to class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, with my remaining time out of school, I have plenty of time to play and hangout with pets! I do not have a fully fenced yard but I do have a gated area on the side of my house. The gated area is big enough for dogs to run and play! I also have a small dog of my own to keep other dogs entertained!

About: I grew up with dogs from as far back as I can remember. I have a 3200 sq ft house on a double lot in North Minneapolis about a five minute drive from North Loop. I earned money through college by dogsitting for years. Dogs have always loved my energy, and I find them easier to understand than people. I have boarded several dogs over the years at this house, so it’s dog friendly both inside and outside. My dogs also both love people and other dogs. I currently work remotely so my schedule is very flexible as I work out of my house. My dogs are my life, and we love having doggy visitors. I have a fully fenced in yard which is a full second lot next to my house. I own both lots. I have two friendly dogs who love to make friends. Plenty of space for dogs to roam inside and outside as well as plenty of comfortable spots to feel safe. I can crate pets, but crates must be provided. I’m very accommodating, so no request is too weird as long as communication is clear so I fully understand what I need to do.

About: When having to choose between writing a 20 page paper vs. volunteering at the local humanity society, the latter was chosen. No regrets since then. I do variety of projects that works with my schedule. I choose what works best for you and me. Don't hesitate to ask for accommodation as needed. The back yard has no fencing around to separate houses around but I will always keep a watchful eye out. If your pet is out so am I. I want your beloved to have fresh air and fun as well as be safe.

“Kaitlin is AMAZING!! Since I’ve been on Rover, I’ve had 2 amazing sitters and Kaitlin is one of them… she has made my Luna feel at home.

I hope our relationship is forever. Thanks Kaitlin”

Hawthorne dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alaijah was incredible!! She was willing to watch Reggie on short notice & made our first time leaving him a breeze! You could tell she truly cares for and loves on every pet she takes in :) He walked away with her & never looked back!! We will definitely bring Reggie back to Alaijah in the future!

Luke and Leia are fantastic!!! I can tell Millie had a great time with them. Luke was very communicative and even sent me a video/update before I finished my commute to work :) He also took Millie for a walk! I feel like everything was above and beyond and he cared for my dog like she was his own. Would definitely recommend Luke to everyone!

My pup was so well taken care of! She was a little apprehensive at first, but they handled her so well and she was so clearly comfortable and enjoying herself when I picked her up. So glad she also made a new doggie friend! Received great pictures and updates.

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!!

Jennifer was very kind and allowed our pups to do doggy day with a day’s notice. Our pups enjoy the time they spend with Jennifer and Jasmine (pup) and other new friends. Our pups were happy and now they’re gonna sleep deeply. Did I mention that she sends tons of photos and makes her own dog treats?
