“Laura was fantastic, she stayed at the house with the pups for the weekend and keep us updated.Dogs were happy and tired could tell they got a lot of play time in. Definitely will continue to use her for our next sitter needs.Great job Laura!”
“We’ve got a long list of all the things we loved and appreciated about Jo during her stay with our fur baby. We truly couldn’t feel luckier that we connected with her! Our Brighton can be a bit of a handful but Jo’s confidence, kindness, knowledge, and the genuine excitement she showed made me KNOW that our girl was in the best of hands. Throughout her stay she provided great “pup-dates” with professional quality photos of what they were up to. She also helped out with some tasks around our house which was not expected but incredibly appreciated. We came home to a clean and tidy home and a very thoughtful thank you note with a super cute Polaroid photo. She thanked us but really we owe her all the thanks!! Would love to have her sit for us again in the future. Thanks, Jo!”
“Stayed with our 2 dogs for 5 nights. My older dog has anxiety and usually has accidents while we are gone. He did great! No problems! House looked just like we left it. Would highly recommend!!”
“Autumn was amazing with out 2 English setters- she handled medications wonderfully and gave them so much attention and walks! Our neighbor even commented on how great she was. Look forward to using her again!”
“Shea was absolutely fantastic. Our dog has some health issues, and Shea was very attentive to his medications and our concerns while we were away. We came home to a very happy dog. Our house was spotless. Without asking, Shea washed the bedding and put everything in its place. Her communication was thorough and consistent. Without any hesitation, we would ask Shea to sit for Rocky again! Thank you again for everything, Shea!”
“Lauren was great. She took great care of my pups and sent lots of pictures. They were true wore out when we got home which means they got lots of exercise and free air. Will most definitely use Lauren again.”
“Jessica is nice & she is good with Dexter! Takes him for walks and everything. She worked during her stay, which we agreed to, but she was gone a little longer than I expected based on her work schedule. Otherwise, she was good with Dexter and left the house in good order when she left.”
“My dog and I fell in love. Andrea is amazing. I feel so comfy on vacation because she is an excellent sitter for my Kayce. My pitbull was in heaven! She is the best. Highly recommend.”
“McKenzie did an absolutely outstanding job taking care of our pets, Mack and Katie, while we were out of town. Mack and Katie were happy, well-fed, and clearly enjoyed the attention and affection McKenzie gave them. She even went the extra mile to ensure the house was tidy and everything was in order when we returned. We couldn’t have asked for a more reliable and loving pet sitter, and we highly recommend her to anyone in need of top-notch care for their furry family members.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes since I was little. I grew up with animals my whole life. When I turned 13, my neighbors would ask me to take care of their dogs and/or cats when they were gone. Whether it was feeding and letting them out or going on walks and cleaning the cat litter box or even giving them medication. I am currently enrolled at the University of Minnesota majoring in Animal Science / Pre-vet. My summer schedule looks like. I am free on Mondays and Wednesdays all day until 3pm, Sundays are completely open. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturdays are my working/internship days. I can usually squeeze in a visit before and after work! I make sure that my dog is safe and happy at all times, I will hold the same standards for your pets. I am able to crate any dogs that need to be in their crate throughout the day, I can clean up any messes they make.
“Elizabeth was phenomenal to work with. She kept us updated and sent plenty of photo updates. She even offered to stay later than originally planned so that our dog didn’t need to spend as much time in her kennel until we returned home. The house was picked up and clean (more than we had left it!) and she even washed the sheets and remade the bed so it was one less thing on our to do list! So thankful to have such an amazing sitter!”
About: I've been a dog owner for 40 years, and was a foster for a few years for MARS. Although I specialize in German Shepherds, I have taken care of just about every type of dog. My housemate, where I currently live, has 2 rescues - one is a lab/Pitbull mix. The other is a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix. I also dog sit regularly for my daughter's dog (rescue Pitbull mix) and my son's dog (Belgian Malinois). If I have a special skill I guess it would be that I understand rescues. I'm semi-retired and have a very flexible schedule. I'm in the North Metro but I occasionally drive for Lyft, so I'm familiar with the Twin Cities in general. I'm an early riser so if your dog is as well - that's fine with me! The dogs I've cared for get several walks per day - or ball tosses if there is a fenced in yard. For those dogs who get along with others, we love the dog park. We make sure to go potty before bedtime! My dogs get two meals per day - but if yours get three meals, that's fine too. I've taken care of dogs who need daily pills and those which are in heat. I don't need much when staying at your home other than internet. I bring my own food. I prefer longer stays rather than short ones so I can learn the dog's routine.
“Alexis did a great job watching our animals and home while we were away for a long weekend. She sent photos and updates each day. I was so nervous leaving one of my dogs who has high anxiety, but Alexis knew how to handle her and make sure she felt as comfortable as possible. Alexis did a great job following the schedule we have for the animals and basic rules - like one who isn't allowed upstairs. This was my first experience using Rover.com and I would definitely book with Alexis again!”
About: I grew up with large dogs and have dogsat in other people’s homes for eight years. I am very comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, medical needs, and personalities. Dogs give me so much joy, and I would be happy to care for yours! I worked remotely for the University of Minnesota, but was unfortunately laid off due to funding cuts. I currently work on a small farm part-time and dog-sit to make extra income. My hours are very flexible. I am happy to provide any dog and house related care (e.g., getting the mail). I comfortable with a dog sleeping in or out of a crate, feeding any food (e.g., raw food diet), giving medications or performing procedures (I am a certified EMT), and providing exercise (e.g., walking, hiking, fetch, swimming).
About: I have experience with dogs 8 weeks - 14 years. I have extensive knowledge of senior dogs. I am less experienced in cat care, but I have had cats in the past, and have also house sat for friends who have 3. I am currently a college student, so I will be unavailable on Mondays. I also have a part time job from 8:30 am - 5 pm. I am available on weekends for dog sitting or after 5:30 pm weekdays. I would love to find out what type of exercise your pet needs. I enjoy walking and I am very good with a chuck it.
“Melanie was great with my two dogs and cat! She gave them all the attention they needed!! lots of love, time, attention and play! They were her top priority for the whole week! She also sent pics and updates.”
“Great cat sitting service from Emma, she stayed in our home with our multiple cats. They were happy and content when we got home, and the house was clean and fresh in tip top shape!”
“Oh my goodness, Jordan!! She is amazing! My pups loved her, she followed my instructions to a T and gave the sweetest updates while I was away. Having her take care of my babies gave me such peace of mind so I could take the time I needed to reset.”

Christine J.
“Christine did a fabulous job taking care of our dog! She sent a message and photo each day we were gone. We have a dog who has many fears, particularly concerning storms and loud noises. In addition, we had just lost our older dog whom Freckles looked up to for guidance and support. We were thrilled that Christine was able to help our dog stay calm through a thunderstorm and brainstormed ways to keep her manage the fear. Our dog was still very sad about losing her sister and Christine was very empathetic, keeping her company. We highly recommend her as a dog sitter and would be happy to use her again.”
