“Samantha sent great updates and took good care of our fur friends while we were out of town. She took care in our home, as well. We will definitely request her services again.”
“Jessica did an excellent job caring for our Kirby! We will definitely rebook! Kirby seemed so comfortable and happy when we returned from our trip.”
“Olivia was great with our dog, Marty. Who is in need of a pretty specific schedule. Olivia went over and above by sending us pictures and/or videos each day we were out of town. And we asked if she’d water some plants while we were away and she was happy to. Would definitely recommend Olivia to others 🙂”
“Kelsie was awesome!!! Moose loved all the attention and cuddles and he can't wait to have her stay with him again. She kept us updated on how he was doing and sent pics for us throughout the stay. Thanks, Kelsie for taking such good care of our fur baby!!”

“Sandy was a perfect fit for my senior dog who is rather stubborn! I did not worry at all about him getting his medications and she kept me updated with texts. She was quick to respond to my random texts as well!”
“Wendy was great! She stayed with Odie and followed his routine, which is important with his medication. Will definitely seek her out for our next trip/drop-in.”
“Tori did an excellent job taking care of our home and pups while we were gone. We have a very senior dog who needs medication and bathroom breaks multiple times each day along with a 1 year old puppy - not the easiest clients to take on ;) She also took care of monitoring the water for our backyard chickens. She was very professional, respectful and we will definitely have her back to our home in the future.”

“Joleen was wonderful with our home AND our two pups during our week away. Great communication and made us (and our dogs!) very comfortable. Hoping to be able to have Joleen as our more permanent pup (and home) sitter when needed.”
About: I’ve cared for pets from high-energy pups to gentle seniors. Friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and love their animals like family, including overnight stays in their homes. What sets me apart is the way I tune in—I adjust my care to each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether that means silly playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to special routines. I offer more than just pet care—I build trust and emotional comfort so your pet feels truly relaxed while you're away. I offer reliable pet care services, including house sitting (for both cats and dogs), dog walking, and drop-in visits. I’m generally available on weekdays and weekends, with services scheduled ahead of time. You can count on me to show up on time, follow your pet’s routine, and provide attentive, trustworthy care while you're away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, follow routines closely, and create a calm environment where pets feel comfortable. I clean up after feedings, walks, and accidents to keep things tidy and stress-free. I handle keys responsibly, leave your home as I found it, and always prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was in college, from puppies to senior dogs. I give their owners peace of mind with regular check ins and updates with how their pet is, while making sure the dogs are happy with lots of walks and playtime. You can be sure that I will be more than just a sitter and show your pet all the love and care it deserves. During the summer, I only work part time, leaving lots of time to care for your pets. I’m very active, so if your pet is too, we will be a great match. As a teacher during the school year, I am usually available in the afternoons and overnight, as well as all weekends for the same level of care. I will work with you to provide the routines and care you would like while watching your pet. I make sure to clean any messes that may occur while watching your dog. I am used to both creating and leaving dogs to roam throughout the space, so what you want is what you will get.
About: I've taken care of a variety of pets since I was a child including dogs, cats, birds, rodents,fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Our house was a veritable zoo growing up. Have had a dog as a companion for most of my life but cant currently afford one of my own and would love to help care for yours! Currently have full time availability but will be attending classes in the fall in Minneapolis, don't worry I'll make sure to keep my availability and service ranges up to date! Able to care for pets of all ages and energy ranges, be it multiple walks a day for you high energy friend, or lifting 70+ pounds to accommodate your elderly dog
“Kerstie took great care of our girls and they loved having her around! We got lots of pictures and appreciated the updates!”
“Lauren was great with Penny and followed instructions and made sure to ask questions when she wasnt sure about some of the instructions that were left. After having a horrible experience with a previous sitter it was hard leaving Penny again. Lauren treated Penny as if she was her own dog. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Lauren again for future overnights.”
“I recently had the pleasure of using Rover’s services, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience, thanks to Paige! From the moment I booked her for pet care, I felt completely at ease knowing that my furry friends were in such loving hands. Paige was professional, incredibly caring, and attentive to my pets’ needs. She updated me and sent photos, which reassured me that they were happy and well taken care of. Her passion for animals truly shines through, and it made all the difference during my time away. I will definitely rebook with Paige in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Paige, for providing such excellent care!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and enjoy learning about dog training, behavior, and breeds. I have experience caring for brand new puppies as well as senior dogs. I work a couple days a week part-time, so I have tons of free time to dedicate towards pet sitting/walking! My hobbies all have very flexible schedules, allowing me to take care of pets almost every day of the week. I have two dogs and a cat, all of whom are friendly towards other animals. I have a park with a large field near my house, as well as being able & willing to go on walks as long or short as the specific pet requires.
About: I think it would be unfair to say i have 25 years of experience so I will settle with saying, I’ve been around animals of all kinds my entire life. Cats, dogs, small mammals, aquatics, reptiles, amphibians, farm animals, you name it! So there aren’t any critters that would scare me away! I can assure you that your fur baby will receive the best care, because I want that for them too. As a pet parent myself (proud mom of 2 dogs,and a cat), I worry about who I leave them with because they are my lifelines. Your fur babies will be treated as if they were my own because they deserve nothing less than that! (: My schedule is pretty opened- I help out at home as well as doing schooling. (: so usually I’m not away from home too much/long. I will follow whatever instructions are given by pet parents and if I’m unsure of anything I’ll always contact you! So you don’t have to worry about any unknowns.
“Vanessa was fantastic! We were immediately comfortable and she was exceptional with Margo and Millie, called or texted with any questions and took such good care of our girls when we were away, she stayed in our home for the entire time and left the place nice and clean for our return, couldn't ask for a better pup/house sitter! We look forward to calling on her again for our next trip! Thank you you again Vanessa! Sincerely ~ Dan and John”

Phenix B.
“We were nervous about leaving our two rambunctious puppies, Luna and Max, for a week-long vacation, but Phenix put our minds completely at ease. From the initial meet-and-greet, where she took the time to learn all about the pups' quirks and routines, to her daily updates and adorable photos, we knew our fur babies were in excellent hands. Phenix went above and beyond, playing fetch in the park with Luna, cuddling with Max on the couch, and even giving them extra snuggles when they missed us. She stuck to their feeding schedule perfectly, cleaned up any messes (thank you!), and even watered our plants! When we returned home, Luna and Max were happy, healthy, and wagging their tails like crazy. They clearly adored Phenix and we could tell she'd enjoyed their company too. It felt like we were coming home to two happy friends, not pets who'd been boarded or stressed. Phenix is more than just a pet sitter; she's a true animal lover who provides compassionate, personalized care. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone! Sincerely, The Taylors!!”
