“Amy did a great job taking care of Reggie. She sent numerous photos which helped remind us that he was okay and having fun. She also was immediately communicative. Reggie seemed to have a great time playing with all the dogs. He has been sleeping a lot since he came home!”

“Arianna did an excellent job caring for Howie- she was incredibly thorough, communicative, gave timely updates, asked great questions, and kept thorough notes while watching my dog. I’d recommend her to anyone- even pets like mine with quite a bit of separation anxiety!”

“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”

About: I've been around dogs for most of my life and had my own dog for 9 years, which gave me firsthand experience with daily care, exercise, and companionship. In addition, I've pet sat on two separate occasions for over two weeks at a time, caring for dogs by taking them on multiple walks each day, administering medication when needed, and making sure they received plenty of attention and affection. I'm very active and enjoy going on walks and runs, so I'm happy to provide dogs with the exercise and outdoor time they need. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to care for your pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits very well into my schedule. During the summer, I work part-time with flexible hours that are often outside of the typical 9–5 schedule, which gives me availability throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I am able to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the pets and families I work with. During the school year, I do not have a job, which gives me even more flexibility and availability. I am available most weekends and frequently have open time during the week as well. Whether your pet needs regular care, exercise, or companionship while you're away, I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs, and any specific preferences or rules. I understand that pets are most comfortable in familiar environments, so I focus on creating a calm, safe, and stress-free experience while their owners are away. I am attentive to each pet's behavior and needs, making sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and affection. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for. Above all, I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

“Robert took wonderful care of our dog! He was very communicative, professional, and proactive about managing an unexpected situation that came up while we were out of town. He’s especially great with high energy dogs who love to run.”
“Kaylie is great! You can tell she loves dogs! She kept me apprised with pictures and notes about Swervo. You and your pup/s will love her. I will hire her again!”

“Briana provided a stellar experience. She gave great care to our fur baby and communicated frequent updates while we were away. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“This was our first booking with Jacquie and Kyle and we felt super comfortable leaving our dog for 10 days with them. We got lots of picture updates and she was clearly very happy and entertained and enjoyed playing with the other two dogs they were concurrently boarding. We’ll definitely rebook if the need arises again.”

“Emily was the perfect doggy sitter for Martha! Lots of walks and playtime and cuddles! Made my vacation worry free!!! I will definitely use her for future dog sitting!!”

“Kingston had lots of fun with Adam!! He didn’t seem overly excited to see me, which tells me he had fun while we were gone. Adam sent pictures of the fun they had on walks, and sent updates.”


“Howie and Betsy were so great with our puppy. You can tell they love dogs!! Yoshi was very well cared for and communication was super easy. I will definitely being using Howie again in the future”

“Our pug LOVED his 4-day stay with Brenda and her family! Our little guy got along great with her two pit bulls and really bonded with their little boy. The dogs played and ran together in the fenced in yard. Our pug came home happy and ready to nap. Each day, I received a couple of photos with a brief update which I appreciated. This was a short-notice booking, and I am so grateful that Brenda was available. We will definitely arrange dog-sitting with Brenda in the future.”

“Jessica and Grant were fantastic! Kirby had a great time with them and their dog, Cooper. Communication was excellent and we never once worried about Kirby. We will definitely rebook.”

“Alexis was so wonderful and accommodating to my last minute needs. She took very good care of my dog and gave her lots of attention. I received daily pictures and updates, which was so nice. Thanks Alexis!”

About: I have had pets since I was 5, anywhere from cats and dogs, to iguanas, macaws and birds of prey! My sister is a trainer for service animals as well so I have a little knowledge about them as well. I’m currently off of work due to a work injury and have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. I live a block away from the biggest lake in the twin cities so I can take your pet on a walk every day. I live in an apartment with a lot of space. There are screens on all of my windows, door is always closed and locked, and there is a door to enter the apartment complex as well so only tenants enter the building.

“This was my first time using Rover and the first time Jerry was away from me or my parents (who usually take care of him) and I couldn’t have asked for better! The constant updates made me feel at ease and I felt so comfortable leaving him with people who seem to know plenty about dogs. Would highly recommend!”

“Charlie did a great job watching Olaf! He was reliable, attentive, and made sure Olaf was well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and felt confident Olaf was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

Minneapolis pet parents share their Rover experiences
We really appreciated getting a picture of each cat every day while we were away, and that we felt they were safe and taken care of. I felt nervous while we were away, and when we mentioned that the one cat really likes being spoken too, she sent us a little video of our cat Tigger with her petting him and talking to him. Thank you Sophia for giving love to our cats!

Z is so tired! He came straight home and snuggled in on the couch with me after a night away at Jesika's. She's got an amazing place with a nice, shady, grassy area right out front for taking pups out and she's close to plenty of trails. I'd be more than happy to use her Rover services again.
