“We were so happy to find Kelsi to spend the night with Dollar. This was our first time using Rover and we would definitely recommend Kelsi and will likely try to book her again. Dollar loved her as well as we saw in the pic updates she sent.”

8. Camille T.


“I’ve had some really horrible experiences with Rover, so naturally I was a little nervous to hire another sitter through here, but Camille literally knocked it out of the park. She stayed at my house to watch my two pups and rabbit and she took amazing care of everyone. She followed the long list of instructions to a tee and left my house in amazing shape. She sent pictures of all the animals daily and just went up and beyond with how well she cared for my little pet family. I won’t book anyone besides Camille from now on when I go out of town! She’s absolutely crushed it!”


9. Brittney D.

“Brittney was an absolute gem and won over my chiweenie and my scared cat. She sent me daily pictures and communicated daily. I felt at ease knowing my fur babies were so well cared for. I would book Brittney again!!”

11. Luis R.

“Luis is a great pet sitter and is very kind. We originally hired someone else for a five-day stay, but after two days, we had to find an emergency replacement. While we were out of the country, we reached out to Luis, and he immediately stepped in to care for our two dogs. He was there within a few short hours. One of our two dogs had just undergone emergency life-threatening surgery and required a high level of medical care including strict medication schedules and detailed care instructions. Luis handled everything. He stayed at our home overnight and was there during the daytime day to ensure our dogs were well cared for. He was conscientious, attentive, followed all instructions carefully, and kept us updated regularly. He asked questions when needed and was always quick to respond. Despite never having met us or our dogs before, he showed great responsibility, diligence, compassion, and graciousness. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We’ll absolutely hire Luis again and have already booked him for our next trip!”


12. Nikki P.

“Nikki was amazing and very informative! She was very attentive to my dogs and went above and beyond during her stay at my house. Highly recommend!!”


13. Erica B.

“We really appreciated Erica’s willingness to complete a meet & greet before booking. Also, her proactive communication in the days prior to her stay was wonderful. During her stay, she provided the appropriate amount of updates to reassure us that everything was going well. We returned home to a happy pup & a well cared for house.”




14. Alexandra O.

“Alex is the best! I almost don’t want to leave a raving review because I want to keep her all to myself!! My husband and I are new to Minneapolis and had to leave town suddenly for a family emergency. Alex really saved us. She came to meet me and the dogs before I left town and I was immediately at ease leaving my babies in her hands. She sent sweet updates daily and left our house cleaner than I left it!”


15. Jenny P.
“Jenny is the most caring and loving pet owner I have ever met. She takes amazing care of our 2 cats, and has nurtured them into the most happy, healthy and friendly cats. She loves all animals, and all dogs and cats quickly feel comfortable with her. I believe everyone will be delighted with entrusting Jenny with taking care of their pets.”


16. Taylor K.
“Taylor went to all measures to make sure our dogs were happy! She stayed overnight a few times as well as routine walks still to this day. We have been using Taylor for about 4 years now and are so excited for her to get on Rover to meet other people that will love her just as much as we do!”


17. Ellie D.

“Ellie took such good care of our two dogs while we were out of town! Ellie sent us lots of updates and photos while we gone and when we came back our dogs were so nice and relaxed! We highly recommend using Ellie’s services for anyone going out of town.”


18. Emma T.

“We couldn't have asked for a more loving, responsible individual for Opie. Emma provided overnight house sitting and care for our boy and our home. We were incredibly grateful to have found her and will definitely ask her again when we need a companion and sitter.”


19. Lidiya M.

“Lydia provided excellent care for pup Rizzo. She is a great communicator and sent daily pictures. I highly recommend hiring Lydia to care for your pet. Thank you and we look forward to hiring you again!!”


20. Brittany B.
“We went on a 10 day family vacation, it was the first time we'd left our dog in a year. We had asked Brittany to watch Otis. She went above and beyond. She'd walk him, play with him, snuggle with him. I felt so comfortable being away, knowing she was giving Otis lots of attention. In fact we wanted to hire her again when we went on a cruise, but she had moved out of the area. We then had to bring Otis to the dog kennel for boarding in our absence. Honestly I cried when I left him because, although I knew he'd be cared for, I wasn't certain he'd get the same level of love and attention he had gotten from Brittany. Brittany is such a wonderful gal. I've known her over 20 yrs. You will be very pleased with her and her work ethic.”
