“Lisa is by far our favorite house and pet sitter. She’s a wonderful communicator and really cared about our pets. She cleaned up and left the house in tip top shape as well.”
“Jo was amazing! We have a pretty lazy senior dog and Jo took great care of her during our week long vacation. She kept in contact with us and checked in to give us updates. We would absolutely use Jo again and highly recommend,”
“Shea was amazing! I usually have family watch my dog, so this is the first time I have had someone outside the family watch her. I felt very comfortable and at ease the entire time. Shea did an excellent job and went above and beyond. I will be using her services again in the future :)”
“Natalie was simply amazing!! She exceeded our expectations and was wonderful with our two big dogs. Our Bernese Mountain dog is a bit of handful, yet; she was unfazed and embraced his energy. We could tell she was attentive with them and sent many messages and videos of our precious dogs. She left our home immaculate and went beyond making sure everything was in order when we arrived home. We are very lucky to have found her and would absolutely use her again!”
“Ashley did a wonderful job caring for our pets while we were away! We will definitely reach back out next time a need arises.”
“Eleanor was great, she quickly responded to my last minute booking request, was very friendly and easy to communicate with. It was only a one night booking but she sent updates and photos still and my apartment was in great condition when I came back.”
“Wonderful experience with Kailee! Lots of love, activity and came home to a happy sleepy pup. We appreciated all the updates and photos! We would be lucky to use Kailee again in the future.”
“Trinity took care of my 3 dogs and took care of everything we needed. Easy to communicate with. Would definitely choose her again in the future.”
“My husband and I just moved to the Twin Cities area and we had previously always had friends we could rely on to watch our dog and check on our cat. So this was a new experience for us (mostly me, let’s be honest), but Justin was great and kept me updated while we were gone on how they were both doing. My dog is a silly nervous boy and Justin knew how to get him to warm up. I’m so glad we could find someone we trust with our fur babies!”
“My babies had a great time with Deb.”
“Britt took care of our 2 dogs, fish, and reptiles while we were out of town for over a week. They will miss her! She took great care of the puppy for overnights and keeping her company during the day, too. We had no worries leaving for a long trip knowing they were all in her care.”
“Ray was awesome with my dogs. He let me know how they were doing each day, and responded to me quickly when I reached out by text. He took my booking only a couple days before and I really appreciated it! I will definitely try to get Ray for my next booking. Thanks for taking good care of Finn and Frankie!!!”
“Dawn did an excellent job of house sitting our 11 yr. old lab. She maintained Maggie’s routine for eating walking, playing ball & getting the necessary affection/ear rubs that are all part of being a great sitter. In addition, Dawn vacuuming her doggy bed regularly & she used her pooper scooper keeping the yard clean. As pet parents, we were happy to receive daily photos of Maggie to let know everything was well back home. Dawn even collected our mail, changed our linen & took the trash out on trash day. We would definitely hire Dawn again to watch our beloved old girl🐾”
About: Come one, come all, your pet’s second-best friend is on call! 🐕🐈🐈⬛ Whether small and furry or tall and scruffy, scaly or cuddly, I’m ready to care for pets of every shape and size; and give them all the love they deserve! I’ve house-sat for a wide variety of animals, from classic companions like cats and dogs to more exotic friends like bearded dragons. Need someone detail-oriented? I’ve cared for pets with specific medication schedules, strict diets, and set mealtimes, so I’m more than prepared to follow special routines with care and consistency. From playful puppies who get into everything, to sweet senior dogs who need a helping hand, I’m here for the cleanups, the cuddles, and everything in between! I’m working full-time throughout the summer, but my schedule includes a flexible lunch hour—so I’m happy to check in on your pet if extra care is needed! Your pet’s safety and comfort come first! I treat every animal like my own: gently, patiently, and with total attention to their unique needs and personalities.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have two of my very own, Stormy a petite bernedoodle and Stella our cockapoo who will be around during visits. We love to walk outside and can easily do solo walks or accompanied walks with your pet. Please let me know any specific details about your pet as we are happy to accommodate. I have a pretty flexible schedule, am usually home every day and can make sure I am home the days I have your pup! I never leave my own dogs alone for more than a couple of hours. Communicate with me your needs and I will be happy to help! We have two of our own small doodles. We love to go out for walks, play, and snuggle on the couch. Let me know anything specific you would like for your pet!
“Eric has now dog sat for us three times. He has done a great job each time. It’s nice to know your pet is safe and sound while away from home. We had a check in in the morning and one at night. Sometimes I was not available so Eric was flexible with my random check-in Times.”
“Katharine and her daughter were fantastic! They took the time to really understand our dog’s daily care and feeding routine, they were in contact with pictures and messages every day while we gone, and everything looked just as we had left it when we returned. Best of all it was obvious they both truly love animals, and I know they showered our fur baby with love while we were away. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I got my first dog - a golden retriever - on my golden birthday when I turned 3, and have owned a dog every year since. I truly believe they’re like family! I work from home and go on walks often throughout the day! We’re a huge dog family so it would be a treat to be able to walk with some dogs as well! My daughter also LOVES dogs. I really ensure that I’m thoroughly reading the care instructions. I know that every dog is different, and for safety (and their own comfort) it’s best to stay strict to the instructions.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets (dogs and cats) throughout my childhood and early adulthood. Sadly, I currently don’t have space for pets of my own. So, I decided to become a pet caregiver on Rover. Currently, I don’t have any pets to care for in my weekly routine. By becoming a pet caregiver, I’m hoping to incorporate pet care into my weekly routine. I care for pets in other people’s home's with love, attention to detail, and a focus on ensuring that the home is cared for too.

“Grace used to house sit and dog sit for my boyfriend and I when we went out of town. My chocolate lab Cyan, loved her! Cyan would get so excited when Grace would come over. Grace moved out of state a couple of years ago and Cyan still goes into our spare room looking for her! Grace is one of the sweetest and most caring people I have ever known, your pet would be in great hands with her!”
15. Sidney M.
“You’d be lucky to have her care for your dog. She is the best if your dog needs exercise not just a walk to “walk”. I’ve had her take care of my Lulu many many times and she is always so excited to see her wagging her tail and talking up a storm. She is so loving and very careful to give the best care and not over feed either. I recommend her 100%. My dog cannot bark enough about her. She jumps up for joy whenever she gets to be with her and loves to cuddle on her lap.”
