Lauren is such a wonderful person! Very personable, great communication, and she took such great care of my dog Skylar. They went for an hour-long walk around my neighborhood. Skylar looked so happy and was perfectly tired from the exercise. Highly recommend Lauren and will definitely book again!

About: I've lived with animals my entire life and have been taking care of my own since I was about 7 years old. I've had a few dogs in my family: a chihuahua, shar pei, golden retriever, pomeranian, dachshund, and a chow chow; with experience from puppies to seniors. Cats have also been a constant throughout my whole life, from kittens to seniors as well. There hasn't been a moment I haven't had at least one cat in my home. I've had a few other kinds of smaller critters too: guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and lizards. I'm well versed in pet body language and reading what they desire or need, and have lots of love to give your baby(ies)! They deserve the world. I absolutely adore all animals and spending time with them is my favorite activity. Rover is my full-time job, so I can spend as much time as needed with your fur baby and make frequent check-ins or walks if desired! If your companion(s) is friendly to strangers, I will be sure to give them plenty of attention, play time, petting, and walks (if applicable) in addition to basic care and any other requests. If they're not comfortable with new people, I will respect their space and boundaries based on what they're telling me so they feel relaxed and safe. Every animal is different and I adapt to their personality and pace.

Laura is an excellent dog walker! She took a preliminary walk with us to learn my dog’s habits and routines, and was great at communicating upcoming schedules. My dog was so happy to see her and walk with her each day and I got great updates. I would highly recommend Laura for dog walking or dog sitting.

About: Hi! my name Juliana. As an experienced pet caretaker, I have the knowledge and skills that make me the perfect choice for taking care of your pet! I have taken care of both family and friend’s pets ( cats and dogs) and I understand the importance of providing attentive and loving care to make sure they are comfortable and happy. As a Dachshund owner myself, I know how important it is to follow routines and keep in mind specific needs. You can trust that I will provide your furry friend/child with the same level of care and attention that I give my own. Currently my schedule is limited because I don’t work from home, except for Fridays. Therefore, I’m available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for walks and drop ins. I can easy walk your dog and provide the exercise they need around the North Loop / Downtown Minneapolis area. For cat owners, I can provide visits to make sure food and litter are taken care of. Additionally, I volunteer at Minneapolis Animal Care & Control with both cats and dogs, which has helped me to understand behaviors and how to manage difficult situations.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always adored and gotten along with them. Over the years I have pet-sat dogs and cats alike for friends and family, and I have two cats of my own. I enjoy long walks and making new dog friends, so you can be sure that your doggo will have an enthusiastic and caring play date! When petsitting in your home, I work hard to keep to your pet's schedule and keep them happy and comfortable. I am currently working very part time, so my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. I am definitely an early bird, so don't be afraid to send those morning requests my way :) I am attentive to all directions, routines, and special requirements given for each animal and activity. The safety and happiness of your pet, and your peace of mind, are my priority!

About: Hi! I'm Brinn and I'm a Minnesota transplant, here from Michigan. I've grown up with dogs, cats, and other small animas my entire life. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time M-F but have a flexible schedule, especially on Mondays, Fridays, and throughout the weekend. I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or sitting during these times, and I’m often able to adjust my availability as needed. Please feel free to reach out for my exact hours — I’m flexible with both time and location and always happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I’m always respectful of your space and follow your care instructions closely. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as much as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel comfortable and at ease. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and keep a close eye on your pet’s comfort and safety. I also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I've always had an immense love of animals. I grew up with two cats and a small dog, have volunteered at animal shelters since I was a kid, and currently help care for my boyfriend's cat. I also bring two years of hands-on experience working at a pet store, where I handled animals daily and learned a lot about their behavior and needs. Animals have always felt like a natural part of my life, and I treat every pet in my care like my own! As a student taking online classes this summer, I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the day, including walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I live in a Minneapolis apartment with a pet courtyard for easy potty breaks and access to nearby parks and river trails for walks. I keep a calm, clean home environment and treat every pet like my own. I always communicate with owners through updates and photos so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.

Great First Experience with Rover I used Rover for the first time to find a last-minute dog walker, and it was a fantastic experience. My walker was super communicative, accommodating, and made the process stress-free. I got updates, photos, and a happy pup at the end. Highly recommend and will use again!

Mary walked my dogs for 3 days. She is reliable and although it wasn’t her job this time, she noticed and alerted us to an accident one of our dogs had inside. I really appreciated that, because it was our first clue that Lily had a bladder infection. We really appreciate the way Mary takes care of our dogs.
