“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!”
“Penny was my favorite sitter so far. She was great at communicating before, during, and after the trip. She left my house almost better than it was before I left. But most importantly, she bonded with my cats. I felt completely at ease while away because I could tell by her messages and photos that she genuinely liked my cats. Bonus... She also has a sense of humor. I will definitely be booking with Penny again.”
“Pagie took wonderful care of our pets while we were out of town. We have one dog who is very shy and timed with strangers, Paige did a wonderful job with her and quickly made progress with her. I knew she felt comfort when I was getting updates about their walks, Lilly never wants to go on a walk with a new sitter until at least 3-4 days in, she's definitely a dog whisperer. She also handled our rambunctious labradoodle with ease and gave lots of love to our kitty who is usually hiding away from the dogs’ craziness. Paige provided daily updates and pics which put this dog mom at ease. We came home to a clean home and happy pets, what more could we ask for! We’ll definitely be booking with Paige again.”
“Julie is wonderful. She has taken our dog on multiple walks and now stayed at our home for a weekend we were out of town. She sent us many pictures and updates throughout the weekend, we came home to a perfectly clean home and happy pup. Definitely recommend!!”
“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!”
“Rachel was amazing! She did a great job with our cats and dog. We unexpectedly needed a second overnight pet sitter, she was quick to respond to my request. Thankfully, it worked with her schedule. It was a relief to know someone familiar with our pets was able to care for them again.”
“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.”
“Sky was very honest and communicative about my dogs being stressed due to unexpected construction in the townhouse next to mine. She hang in there with the dogs during a stressful day. My house was very tidy when I returned which I also appreciated.”
“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 🥰”
“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!”
“Cristina is the absolute best sitter. She’s so calm and warm. She sends lots of photos and keeps me updated. I trust her completely and know she’s taking good care of my puppy.”
“Julie was amazing and went above and beyond for us! Our dog loved her and she sent lots of photos and detailed updates, which was reassuring for us. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Hannah was awesome!! Rosie dog fell in love with her right away so I knew she would be in good hands while we were away. Hannah provided great updates and tons of pictures!! Always answered quickly when I checked in!! She also left a detailed note of the days we were gone including how walks went, etc. Can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Olivia was great with our dog, Marty. Who is in need of a pretty specific schedule. Olivia went over and above by sending us pictures and/or videos each day we were out of town. And we asked if she’d water some plants while we were away and she was happy to. Would definitely recommend Olivia to others 🙂”
“Jacqueline was amazing. She took care of my almost 11 year old English Bulldog for several nights. Although he’s pretty mellow, he still likes his schedule and takes several meds. Not only was she an excellent caretaker to my pup, she also did a great job keeping the house in check while I was gone.”
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.
“Kelsey stayed with my anxious furbaby over the weekend and it went great! She provided daily updates and photos that totally eased any worry! It was comforting to know that my pup was well cared for while I was gone- I will for sure have Kelsey stay again in the future!”
“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!”

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.
Jenna is one of a kind! Jenna did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs!! She was caring, reliable, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear my dogs were happy, well cared for, and got plenty of attention and love. Jenna kept me updated and treated my pets like her own, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful dog sitter!
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 :)
Giovanna looked after our Dash for 10 days. She sent up updates and photos from time to time and upon our return, he was cheerful and happy. Everything at our house was in good order, too. Throughout, Giovanna was professional and positive, even when our travel schedule changed at the last minute. This was our first experience using Rover and overall so much better than boarding! Thank you, Giovanna!
Pete had a great weekend with Julia!! Walks when it wasn’t raining, playing with toys inside and having a treats scavenger hunt when it was raining, snuggles on the sofa, etc.!! Julia sent photos and updates, and is just generally a wonderful pet and house-sitter!! Pete is looking forward to her next visit! ❤️
Jackie was amazing! She exceeded expectations and helped me be able to feel a lot more comfortable during my 15 day trip away from my 2 dogs. I have a Husky and a Samoyed that have been boarded before but I wanted them to have more one on one attention. Jackie took them on walks, played with them, let them sleep with her and even cleaned their feet when one of them kept playing in the mud. She also took care of my home. She reached out if she had any questions, but for the most part she was pretty self sufficient. She sent some photos and videos. At the end of the dog/housesitting booking she made sure all of the dishes were cleaned, set aside the dirty laundry, took out the trash and even stayed a bit later to try and minimize the time that my dogs were alone before my flight arrived. I highly recommend Jackie!you won’t be disappointed.
I cant say enough good things about Andrea! Our pup is a 16 year old Cocker Spaniel and he is in good health but is set in his ways about life. Andrea was patient with his fussiness and quirks and I could see from the pictures that he was having fun with her. I highly recommend Andrea to take care of your pets and house.
Brenna is a fantastic pet- and house-sitter! I could tell from the daily videos she sent how happy and comfortable my two dogs and two cats were with her. She was communicative and responsive, followed every instruction to the letter, and made me feel completely confident that my pets and home were totally safe in her hands. She is clearly an experienced professional who loves and understands animals, and even shared grooming and training tips with me. I’m thrilled to have found her, and won’t hesitate to hire her again.
