“Penny was great. She really listened during our meet and greet. The dogs (1 senior cocker spaniel and 1 middle aged active beagle) really seemed to love her. We came home to happy dogs and a well cared for house.”
“Paige was easy to communicate with and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He is high anxiety and she did great with him and he was in great spirits when I got home.”
“Abi took great care of Molly while we were on vacation. She sent us photo updates and left our space nice and clean. I will definitely be seeking out Abi’s help next time we are in need!”
“excellent gal and great pricing too! she really goes above and beyond her pay grade and puts in the extra mile to make my animals feel safe while i was away! will rebook when needed!!! Also the pictures she sent put me at ease 11/10”
“Julie is truly the best. She stayed in our home with our dog for 4 weeks while we were abroad. She updated us and sent pictures of our dog all the time & let us know what they were up to!! Our pup can be stubborn and a bit reactive at times, but Julie was amazing with him. We were nervous to leave for so long, but we came home to a very happy dog and spotless home. Would definitely recommend Julie to a friend or family member and of course will be using her ourselves in the future!”
“Thanks for taking care of Marley. We appreciated all the updates and all the photos!! We can tell he was well taken care of because we came home to a relaxed and happy dog.”
“Hannah took care of our yellow lab/house sat for several days when we were on vacation. She sent photos and updates daily and our dog looked so happy! Hannah was extremely accommodating to all of our requests and even left a very clean house for our return. Thank you so much Hannah! We are so lucky to have found you!!”
“Rachel did a great job housesitting for our two kitties who are a bit demanding. She took care of our mail, trash, packages, and other people coming and going from our home while we were gone. Highly recommend hiring her if you want peace of mind while on your vacation. Will use her again for upcoming trips.”
“This was our second time having Alex stay with our pups and she was just as amazing! Our boys always look so happy with her and it’s so nice to know they are in good hands while we are away. I’ve been recommending her to everyone!”
“Julie watched our two dogs for over a week and was great. She was extremely communicative about every detail - which we especially appreciated for the first couple of days as we adjusted to being away from the dogs. She sent photos, which we loved as well. She was a very courteous house guest, and reached out with questions when necessary. When our return home was delayed, she was flexible and helpful - even though it was Christmas Eve! We returned to a house that was much cleaner than we’d left it and happy dogs. Julie made it clear that her goal is to maintain the dogs’ routine so they’re comfortable, and that was exactly what we were looking for. That, combined with having the house so well looked after, gave us peace of mind while being away. We’d definitely recommend Julie!”
“Paige was such a gift! We loved all the photo updates while we were away and it's clear Paige is quite the cat whisperer. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girls 🥰”
“Liv is very knowledgeable and caring. She didn’t exceptional job taking care of my pets and was very affectionate. She sent updates on a regular basis, and I’ve felt very confident that my pets were in good hands.”
“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!”
“Abby was fantastic with our three pets! She was very communicative ahead of time about our needs. When Abby stayed at our house, she took care of all the medicines, walks, and everything we needed. Plus, they sent us a ton of pictures while we were gone. It was great know that our pets were in safe hands the whole. Definitely would recommend Abby for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Rachel is wonderful! She was attentive to our Labs’ needs and kept them happy and active. She went above and beyond to care for our senior dog, who can be challenging, and even shoveled snow for us while we were away! Our house was pristine when we returned and she updated us every day. 5/5 stars!”
“Sarah did a great job staying at our house and taking care of our dog while we were away for the holiday. It can be hard to be away, and we really appreciated knowing Isabella was well cared for. Sarah was responsive to any updates or requests, was very communicative, and shared helpful updates throughout. She took Isa on outings and walks, and adjusted her care when Isa’s stomach got upset. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. We hope to have Sarah stay with Isa again in the future!”
“Kristina is ah-ma-zing! She sends multiple videos/photos during the stay, and obviously loves working with animals. She’s excellent person and we will rebook with her in a heart beat”
About: I’ve had different breeds of both cats and dogs throughout my entire childhood so I understand the responsibilities needed to properly take care of a variety of pets. My parents have also been on Rover for a couple of years and I alway love helping them out! This also means I understand the apps processes and how to navigate it. I’m a college student at Macalester college, so right now I’m on summer break. I am flexible with owners schedules and willing to driving all around the metro for visits or at home stays! I can do whatever the owner feels is necessary for their pet. Whether it’s putting pets into crates, or active play, or if meals need to be more hands on, I feel comfortable caring for them in pretty much any situation. I don’t have much experience caring for dogs with special needs, so some animals who need that type of assistance might be out of the realm of care I can provide.

Beth was such a relief after a few negative experiences with dog sitters at our home. She was extremely communicative the whole time during our vacation, took excellent care of (and loved) our Nellie, and ultimately helped us have a stress-free trip out of state. We SO appreciated her kind and warm attitude and would love to book her again!
We truly lucked out with Julie when we asked her to start dog sitting for us about 4 years ago now. She is reliable, knowledgeable about pets and their needs, and truly cares for the animals and people she works with. Our dog Kona absolutely adores Julie and gets so excited whenever she comes to visit. We have tried boarding in facilities a couple times, but she just gets so anxious to be away from her space, so we are very thankful that Julie is able to come to us and give Kona the 1:1 attention and care she needs.
This was our second time booking Rachel and she does a wonderful job with our high-energy dogs! She even took them on walks and played with them. She also keeps the house tidy and clean. We would definitely book Rachel again and highly recommend her as a pet/house sitter.
Lacie provided the most loving care for my anxious dog and my cat, staying with them in our home for a week and a half. My animals truly bonded with her. She was also incredible in her communication, providing the most wonderful pictures and videos. She gave great peace of mind that my girls were very well cared for while we were away, and I'm so grateful!!
Our animals: a dog, a cat, and a parrot all had tell tale signs that Lucy was the perfect care provider. Not one of them seem to miss us. Lucy provided updates daily and left us not one bit worried while we relaxed on vacation. No anxiety in the animals eyes and no worries for us makes rebooking Lucy the next time a no brainer.
Constance was great!! I was a bit nervous leaving my kitty after having her for only a month but Constance made sure to play with her and give her plenty of cuddles and attention. She sent great updates and pictures while I was away and I wasn’t worried one bit. She even got my kitty to use her cat tree! I would 100% recommend :)
I would give Jeremiah 6 stars if I could! He was so great with my cat, Rumple. He visited a couple times before I left so that Rumple would be more comfortable with him. Great communication veggie and during my trip, plenty of pics and videos, and Rumple is calm and happy even though I was gone for 2.5 weeks. Will definitely be booking Jeremiah again in the future!
