“Wonderful care and compassion. Highly recommend and great communication. We are new to Rover and the process and cannot thank Iuliia and Constantine enough for the care they show. Thank you.”

“My animals (2 dogs and a crabby cat) loved Carolyn. In fact she came over a few days after I returned and the were so excited to see her. They definitely got a lot of attention. She sent lots of pictures which I really appreciated and communicated everyday on how their day was going. I appreciated her taking good care of my fur babies.”

“Avita took great care of my two cats and even spent extra time with them while I was gone on a longer trip. She made both the kitties and myself feel completely at ease. By the end of the trip, they were her new best friends—curling up on her chest and giving her kisses, which is a massive compliment from my cats! She also took special care of my plants. She is thoughtful, kind, highly responsive, and so easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I've loved and taken care of animals since I was about 3 years old. I always asked to be the one to feed the dog before dinner! I have 2 cats, who are my world. I have a lot of experience with dogs, and have a chihuahua named RiotGrrl. I love dogs. My family has always had dogs, and i once lived in a home where I helped care for 6 dogs, a cat and a rat. I have 26 years of pet care and sitting experience. I'm able to do overnight sitting in your home, walks and baths! Meal times too, of course. I would love to make your pup or cat my new fuzzy best friend! I'm currently free full time for pet care! Im available from 6am-8am and again from 1pm to 12am all weekdays and weekends. I'm available for walking and pet sitting for holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas etc). I do same day booking for walks, but require one day notice for stay in sittings. I prefer to watch animals in their own home, so they are the comfiest they can be. My apartment doesnt allow me to board unfortunately. I will completely stick to your pets normal daily schedule while they are in my care.

“Julia was great with my 1 year old Goldador Julia was great with 1 yr old Remigus with lots of energy! She went above and beyond on limited space this time with an update to our wood flooring where Remi was not allowed to go on yet... very pleased and will definitely request Julia again!”

“Summer is fantastic. She is so thorough and detailed and handled our two Berners while away for a long weekend. So attentive to all of their needs and amazing communication. We hope she liked us as much as we liked her! ?”

Maryam B.

“Tatiana is great! She sent really nice updates and took our dog on nice long walks. He has some (well-managed) resource guarding and reactivity, which she handled without any issues. We were glad to have her caring for him while we were gone.”

Sharon B.

“Absolutely terrific service. She made little videos after each visit that showed her time with my kitties. It was such a joy. First language is no English, but that does not have any impact on the amazing service, so please consider Sumak! I know I will be requesting in the future.”

Morgan C.

“I wish I could give more than 5 stars! As an anxious person, using Rover for the first time, and for a longer house stay, I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our babies! Marykay was absolutely amazing! She communicated many times throughout the day and took such good care of our two cats! They miss her already! We are so thankful for her and thankful we have now found our go-to sitter! If you’re on the fence about using Rover or anxious like me, message MaryKay - she’s amazing!!!!”

Haley L.

“Val was the sweetest! She sent me pictures and updates of Zeke while I was away! She kept my apartment very clean and Zeke looked like he was so happy spending time with her! Zeke is leash reactive and Val was so honest with me about how their outside trips went which I really appreciated! Thank you for treating him like your own Val!”

Cortney J.

“My very proprietary mini-poodle loved hanging with Tina. The photos Tina sent of her snuggling on her lap were testimony. My pup was happy upon my return, but it was obvious to me she was also happy with Tina in my absence. ?”

Judy J.

“Lilah recently house sat and took care of my dog Honey, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, she was responsive, friendly and made sure to ask lots of questions to understand Honey’s needs and quirks. I received updates and photos while away, and Honey was happy and well cared for when I returned home. An all around great experience, and I hope Lilah is available to hang out with Honey during my next trip.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats (and other animals) since I was a kid. A proud godmother of a Yorkshire Terrier, a sweet gentleman. Got on Rover during college, and I absolutely loved it. My situation makes it hard to raise my own pets, so I take the chance to be around them whenever I could. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility and time to provide attentive care for animals, including long walks and companionship. This allows me to be consistently present and available while pet sitting. I’m not currently able to host pets in my own space, but I take the time to get familiar with each new environment so I can provide the best possible care. I make communication with owners a priority, especially when learning the details of a new home or routine.

“Robert was communicative, sent updates/photos throughout the day, and took great care of Pukka. Really appreciated his flexibility and attentiveness. Pukka seemed very happy and comfortable with him. Thank you again!”

Julie S.

“Our pups had the best reaction to meeting a new person ever. They felt her confidence and kindness. She always sent a pic and a note each day. Everything went great! She's the best.”

Cari J.

“Brooke was absolutely incredible with our anxious/reactive dog. She immediately put us at ease during our meet and greet, and was respectful of our dog’s need for a slow introduction. She went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and let him warm up to her at his own pace. By the end of her stay at our house, the two of them were best buddies. We came home to a very happy and well cared for pup! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. We would recommend her in a heartbeat and definitely plan to ask her back again!”

Caitlin J.

“Meghan took great care of our pups, cat, and our chickens while we were away! We couldn’t ask anymore from a sitter; she gave them plenty of love, was very responsive, gave frequent updates, and went above and beyond! This was our first experience with Rover and we couldn’t be happier!”

About: I started off as a volunteer dog walker at the Minneapolis Animal Care and Control (4 hours/month). Now, I walk dogs regularly for several families throughout the week during my mornings and lunch breaks. I have some flexibility in my daily schedule as I currently work fully remote. I aim to walk dogs in the morning or lunch time. I do occasionally travel for work for about a few days out of the month (exclusively during the weekdays). But I always make sure to keep my calendar updated as much as I can. When I’ve taken care of my friend’s or neighbor’s pets, it’s been for a couple of days or a week. Sometimes, I would drop by to feed them and bring them out. Or there’d be times where I’d just sit and do work at their home while occasionally taking breaks to play or socialize with their pet.

“Emily was great, shared a lot of pictures during her stay, very organized and trustful! I really recommend her, also very sweet with the dogs!”

Rodrigo M.

“Our family has been struggling for several years to find a responsible, reliable sitter for our dog. Well, that struggle is over. Chuck is simply the best. He obviously cares about animals and seemed to really get our dog's quirks. He is professional, communicative...and he left our home in immaculate condition. We are lucky to have become acquainted with Chuck and will definitely be reaching out to him in the future!”
