“Our dog Charley had the time of his life during his stay with Taylor. He had so much fun that our family was was worried he wouldn't want to come back home with us. She had an extra gps collar that Charley used so we knew when he was taken out and he got to go on so many walks! Taylor and her family went above and beyond with our dog. She brushed him out for us multiple times, her kids gave Charley so much play time and attention, and they even made Charley a special Christmas dinner! I can't say enough good things about this wonderful family. We received many updates and pictures of Charley having his dream vacation. It was so nice to not have to worry about him while we were on vacation. We live in St. Cloud and it was well worth the drive to ensure Charley had the best care possible. Highly recommend this family!”
“We're so thankful for Caitlin and her ability to take our boy Yogi for a last minute overnight stay. She's patient and kind and didn't judge him at all for being so overexcited lol. We're so happy to have found Caitlin and will definitely trust her with our boy again.”
“Lucy had a good time with Amy, Gregory and their family. She got along with the family's other pets and they enjoyed her and sent lots of pictures and updates. I am very comfortable with their care for Lucy and have scheduled again with them.”
“I highly recommend Jackie! I received many pictures of my pups while I was away which was very reassuring for me. I will most definitely look for her again the next time I need someone. She also has a fenced in background which was perfect for a ton of play time.”
“Kajae and Emily were awesome with Zoey. This was Zoey's first time staying with someone and away from home. They provided me with pictures and videos of Zoey playing with them and their daughter. I appreciated their involvement with her and knowing she was a bit nervous but they made her feel right at home. Thank you Emily and Kajae, also thanks to Brooke and their pet Sage!”

“Debra was so loving to my little 12 lb guy, treating him like the prince he thinks he is. He enjoyed playing with his new dog friends and didn't seem to want to leave when I picked him up. I would definitely recommend. Debra!”
“Ashley and her family were awesome! Gracie, my black lab, felt right at home. I was able to get tons of updates and pictures from her stay. I would recommend them to anyone and plan to have Gracie go back in the future!”
About: We are empty nesters after losing our last dog to cancer. We are looking to fill that void but don’t want to commit to a permanent dog. Smaller dogs is what we preferred in our home. My daughter and daughter-in-law own a large dog boarding center up in Minot, ND. When our 5 kids come home all the grand dogs come with them. Thru our marriage years our family always had dogs and they all had a great life. Marilyne works part time, 3 days a week and Albert is retired and is home all day. We will be home to take care of the dogs. We have a clean and organized home with vinyl planking flooring. The dog will not be running lose and will be on a leased to go potty. We like to go for walks and take a ride on the golf cart.
About: Hi! I’m a middle school teacher, mom to 4 busy kids, and dog mom to ‘Jersey’ our mixed rescue. My house is a welcoming home away from home for your pup. Now that my kids are a bit older, I have a lot of time to give to your pup in the summer and would treat them like my own. I LOVE getting outdoors and walking as much as my legs can allow. Summer break allows for our family of six to enjoy the neighborhood. I have the flexibility to be home daily. Although my children are in multiple activities, I am always close to home. I will be out and about quite often driving kids to different places, but are never gone for more than a few hours. I am able to leave and take your pup for a quick walk multiple times a day, or welcome them into our house over the course of a couple days. My house has a fenced in yard in a nice family neighborhood. Our dog has her base camp on our upper level den, but we have a safe and separate area for your pet in our lower level that will be all theirs! I will walk multiple times daily and care for your pet as my own. My family has lots of love and cuddles to give if needed, but if your pup is more of a recluse, they can adjust accordingly!
About: I am a retired nurse with 37 years of having 1-3 dogs in my house at a time. Currently I do not have any, and I miss it! I am retired and my days would be dedicated to your pup. I have plenty of free time and I enjoy going for walks on the Wobegon trail next to my house. I have 2.5 acres, though not fenced in. There is plenty of room for your dog to run, sleep, and play. They would have free range of the house and it’s very safe.
“Scott, Julia and their kids were amazing with our Great Dane Zeus. They sent us lots of updates and pictures and did a great job taking care of him on our wedding weekend! We had zero stress or worries while he was there. We would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for pet care, and will for sure be bringing Zeus back in the future!”
“Emily was an awesome dog-sitter for our precious Kai. Emily even picked him up for us from our wedding venue after the ceremony so that he could attend. Without this, it might have been difficult for him to attend. We couldn’t be happier with Emily’s prompt response time, punctuality, and overall care of our dog. If we were from the area, Emily would definitely be our first choice in pet sitter.”
“Stacy was great with my dogs. She kept me updated throughout the weekend as to how they were doing. She sent me photos. She gave them massages and took them out for walks. Will be booking with her again.”
About: I grew up having dogs and we have been a dog family for the last 6 years. We have a black lab pitty mix. I am familiar with all types of breeds and our Mocha has some reactivity to other dogs and is an escape artist so I know how important it is to follow directions and keep pups safe. I work 4-5 days a week but I am done by 4:30 and could do an early morning or late afternoon drop in or spend the evenings at your home. I can only offer services in your home. Mocha is a spoiled “only” dog but I am more than happy to come to your home and spoil your pooch!
About: I have taken care of our family dog since she was a puppy, and watched friends dogs in our house. I enjoy walking dogs and and playing with them too. With my parents help I take care of our dog(Stella) daily, During weekdays I have school and my parents work, but I have lots of time on the weekends and after school to play, walk or sit your dog., We have a moderate sized city yard with no fence, in a dog friendly neighborhood. We have a 7 y/o Vizsla that is friendly with other dogs and always loves to meet new friends (both human and canine). Your dog would be treated like a family member while at our house. Fresh water is always available and your dog can cuddle up on our furniture with us.
“Haley and Nathan took great care of our dog for the weekend. He had a great time and they provided us with lots of updates and photos to let us know how he was doing. We will definitely leave him with them again!”
“Kendra did a great job taking care of my dog. I would use her again if I was in the area. It was my first time using Rover so I was hoping for a good experience. I was a little discombobulated having packed late or a camping trip. Even though I forgot to leave my dog's dishes and supplement Kendra took it all into stride. With the missing supplement she contacted me and and made sure she understood how the medication my dog is on were given before I left my pup with her. Throughout the entire process she was communicative responding quickly to any questions I had. It was a good introduction to Rover.”

“Our black lab is such a big baby and lynette is very patient with him. She always gives him the love and attention he begs for.

Alice R.
“We have known Alice for many years - since she was a young high school graduate, and now she is a mom of teenagers! She has a streak of practical good sense as a nurse, as well as the biggest heart and much compassion and kindness. She is intelligent, flexible, resourceful, diligent, and able to prioritize what is important. Her love for her family and her own dog is a great example of the kind of care she would give to others. I think caring for other people's pets is a great fit for her!”
