“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!”
“Nancy and Jeremy were very great to work with and took such good care of Hiro. They played with him and took pictures. They shared updates frequently. I know Hiro was in good hands and had a great time with their dog as well!”
“Amy is the best sitter we’ve had yet!!! She sent pictures of our fur babies to ease our minds. Very much appreciated being away from them. They clearly had a blast with her! Our one dog has anxiety and she was able to sooth her nerves fast and keep her calm throughout stay. Clearly a dog lover, and we will request Amy 1st from now on!!! Thanks Amy!!!”
“Judy is such a sweet lady, I could tell she would be very responsible and caring with my Teddy. Even so, it was hard to leave him with someone for the first time ever. She sent pictures and texts that reassured me that he was handling everything fine and settling in at her house for the night. That really helped! In the end, Teddy was just fine and I was the only one who was having separation issues! We will definitely be booking with Judy again. Thank you Judy!”
“Maria was an amazing sitter for my dog, Yogi, during her two-week stay! She provided exceptional care, keeping me updated with timely messages, pictures, and details about Yogi’s days. Maria’s spacious yard was perfect for exercise, and her neighborhood provided a great environment for walks. Maria is incredibly responsive and attentive, making the whole experience while I was awayy stress-free. I could see how happy and well-cared-for Yogi was while I was away, and she enjoyed it. Thank you so much, Maria! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter.”
“Jennie is absolutely awesome. ☺️ I am so glad to have found her. She has a great set up for my little Louie to play and he just had a wonderful time there. I look forward to using her in the future.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Koda! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in the best hands. She kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell Koda was not just well cared for, but genuinely loved!! He came home so happy, and I could see how much fun he had. She even made him the cutest handmade sweater! I’ll absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.”
“What is the difference between a good and bad vacation? Knowing that your dogs are comfortable and well taken care of. Timothy is a pro, which was evident during our meet and greet, with the way he slowly introduced our dogs to his (and his cat!). Everyone got a long famously. He did a great job updating us with pictures and videos. It was evident that one of our dogs was giving a great time and our other dog, who is very skittish around strangers was comfortable as well. Our minds were at ease and we were able to enjoy our vacation. Thanks so much, Timothy!”
“Susan and Craig are fantastic! They are so thorough and great communicators. They watched our mini-goldendoodle, Cooper, while we had our son's wedding. We already have them scheduled for future dog sitting. We were able to relax and enjoy the wedding knowing Cooper was in good hands.”
“Jacquie and her husband were awesome to my nervous and energetic pup! They took the time to understand what he needed to feel comfortable and he came home tired after a weekend of play! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Erin was such a great sitter for our pup! She responded quickly, was flexible, and most importantly our dog had a safe and happy stay. I almost didn’t want to leave a review so I can keep her all to myself- ha. We will definitely book with Erin again!”
“Jordan did a great job of caring for our senior dog for 3 nights at his home. His communication was prompt and he provided daily photos and updates. Jordan also has a very lovely fenced in back yard with tennis balls ready to toss. Also, he had water already set up for our dog before we even arrived. We will book with Jordan again.”
“Carsten was AMAZING with my pup. He was very professional, had a lot of enthusiasm around caring for my pup and all around good doggy vibes. He made a really cute short video and sent me photos throughout my pups stay. They went on long walks, went down to the river and stayed cool in this heat! I truly think Carsten imprinted on my pup b/c he came back with an ear to ear smile! I would HIGHLY recommend Carsten if you’re in the Minneapolis area. Unfortunately, I don’t live in the area but I will 1000% be reaching out to him again next time we’re in town! Thank you SOOO much for the best first rover experience! <3 Bane & Laila”
“Greg and Ingelise took great care of our labradoodle, Mocha!! We appreciated the daily updates and quick responses on any questions. They seemed to really enjoy having Mocha at their house and we will definitely use their dog-sitting services again!”
“As always, Ava loves her stays at Terrie’s house! We can go on vacation and never have to worry or wonder if she’s comfortable or being taken great care of. Ava had a great thanksgiving with Terrie and we got to relax knowing she was with her fave babysitter.”
“Dustin is the BEST! Our active pup absolutely loved her stay and he welcomed her into his home like he belonged to her. Dustin sent us videos, photos and updates throughout her stay and we were so pleased!”
“Lizzy was a wonderful fit for my rambunctious 8 month old Hazel! I will definitely keep you in mind for the next time Hazel needs to stay overnight. Thanks Lizzy!”
“Sarah and Paul are very nice and professional. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with them. I love their attentiveness to the needs of their pups and the routine they follow. Thank you, Sarah and Paul!”
“Blue loves going to Hope & Greg's. I feel comfortable leaving Blue with Hope and Greg for not only short trips, but also those long trips. I'm so glad to have found them on Rover!”
“Martha and Eric are truly perfect Rover sitters. They have a fenced in yard, Eric works from home, and you can tell that they both love dogs. Our dog Ruby stayed with them for the first time for five nights. We received regular updates, photos, and videos and knew consistently that she was getting the best care. Ruby had so much fun here we were afraid she wouldn't want to come home with us.”

McKinley dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah and her family took excellent care of Dude. She gave regular updates and sent photos that brought smiles to my face. She gave her extra attention when a storm rolled through… Dude seemed relaxed in the photos she sent too, that says a lot about the care she provided.
Martha and Eric were so amazing! They were super friendly and communicative and provided so many wonderful updates while we were away from our pup! They followed all of our asks/routines perfectly to ensure our pup was comfortable and stayed in somewhat of a routine. I highly recommend them and will definitely be booking them again!
Erin & Ramon were awesome! Our dogs had a great time with them and were very well taken care of. Each of our dogs had some medication during their week long stay and they had no problems administering it. They sent lots of cute pictures and updates while we were gone. We will gladly use them again when we need to board our dogs!
Karen did a fantastic job watching my dog while I was gone for an extended weekend! She has such a cute backyard for the pups to play and run, and she sent photos/videos throughout the stay. My pup came home happy and exhausted! Would definitely book again with Karen in the future!
