“Emily and her family took the BEST care of our dog, Archie. They made Archie feel right at home. I was sent pictures that showed just how comfortable Archie was, he was happy and truly, living his best life!! Emily's family dog, Maggie, was so sweet and the two dogs really seemed to get along well. I would absolutely recommend Emily for your pet's stay. Her and her family were SO kind and easy to communicate with, very prompt and helpful. This was our first "Rover" experience and I feel so fortunate we found this wonderful family.”
“Becky has a wonderful home and family. She did a careful meet and greet with us before Edmund's stay, and we liked that. Becky was very easy to work with. She showed excellent communication, with pictures, during Edmund's week-long stay in her home. Becky clearly knows dogs and loves to care for them.”
“Everything worked great with this family. I know if my dog could talk she definitely agree with me. I will certainly have you on my list for next time. Thanks a lot.”
“Thank you Manami for taking such great care of our pup, Gizmo! We love having you as her sitter while we are away and Gizmo looks forward to her time spent with you, each and every time. We will be rebooking with you very soon!! Thanks! 😊”
“Kelly and Zac were AMAZING hosts to our pup Kona. We’ve only ever had family watch our Kona, so we were a little nervous to try something new. We had nothing to fear. Kelly and Zach made Kona feel right at home. They sent daily updates, took her on walks, and gave her all the love! Highly recommend :)”
“Piper seemed to have a great time with Joey. I got pictures regularly along with updates on what they were up to. My only complaint is that she forgot to pack up Piper’s bowl. I messaged stating that we needed to figure out a time to get it back and I got no response. ☹️ I don’t think that I should need to chase her down to get it back.”
“Marlene took such great care of our dog. She absolutely loves dogs and treated her as a member of her family. We were kept up to date on our dog’s day-to-day along with pictures. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Our dog Sprout received so much love and cuddles. Sue and Craig really made our vacation stress free by sending daily updates w photos and videos. Sprout votes with all four paws up that she would love to come back! So grateful for their focused care of our grand dog. 100 stars!”
“I highly recommend Jessie. She was so great to our dog Ivy; she took her on walks, car rides, to Bachman's, and gave Ivy treats (approved by us). Jessie sent us updates every single night with lots of pictures. Ivy definitely missed Jessie once she got back home 🥰”
“Daniela watched my 4 month old puppy and I couldn’t be happier! She was extremely responsive when we reached out to her and continued communication with us the whole time! I got updates throughout everyday with pictures and messages on how my pup was doing! Even sent us home with some more treats and a bone! Will definitely be coming back to her!”
“Our dogs have stayed with Kay and her family before! We just had our dogs stay again for 6 days and our dogs loved staying with Kay and her family! We feel so comfortable having Kay and her family watch our dogs. We know they are extra loved, fed well, given fun play opportunities, and very well cared for! Additionally, it is so wonderful we get videos and pictures every day of both of our dogs : ) !! We highly recommend Kay and her family and definitely will have our dogs stay with her again!”
“Mr. PacMan (Welsh Corgi) was very well cared for by this family! Kyle was my primary contact, and he kept in touch with daily updates and pictures. I could tell my sweet pup was having the time of his life. A seamless and pleasant experience for humans and furry friend alike.”
“Charleen is warm and welcoming and she and her family took great care of our senior dog Pearl. We received timely updates and Pearl was super calm and happy when we picked her up. We look forward to having her stay with Charleen again!”
“Peg and Greg are absolutely wonderful! We are so grateful to have them take care of Sadie, and it’s clear she loves them, too. They provide loving, attentive care, and we always feel completely at ease knowing Sadie is in great hands. Their communication is excellent, and it truly feels like leaving her with family. Highly recommend!”
“Myria was a great dog sitter. She is very friendly/ communicates well. She watched my 9 month old puppy for 10 days and I felt very comfortable leaving her with Myria and her family. I highly recommend her.”
“I was very happy with my service from Vanessa and Micheal. Don’ t let them being new scare you away. They asked a lot of questions and took notes on everything I said. They did a great job with my dog. I got many photos and updates during his stay. My dog seemed happy and well cared from. They took him on a ton of walks. It is clear they love dogs and want to give them the best care. We will for sure use them again in the future.”
“We will definitely try to use Nicole and David in the future. They know dogs, have an awesome fenced yard, and were very loving with our attention seeking dogs.”

Stephanie is wonderful! I really appreciated her communication skills—she was always quick to reply and kept us updated. It was clear that our dog had a great time staying at her house for 7 nights. She even came home brushed better than how I sent her, which is saying a lot considering our dog has a thick, curly coat! The pickup and drop-off went smoothly, and Stephanie was so thoughtful about letting us come over a few times before our trip so Khola could get familiar with her home. That really helped us feel comfortable leaving her. We will definitely reach out to Stephanie again the next time we need an amazing, compassionate pet sitter. We highly recommend her!
Chrissy was a great sitter for our cat, Nacho. He gets very stressed when we have to board him and this was the first time he stayed with a sitter. He came home and was his usual self... and I actually think he misses her. :) She also sent us a picture of him everyday to reassure us he was doing great. Thank you for keeping him happy and safe!
Jenn is amazing! She was there when another Rover sitter canceled on us a week before we were scheduled to go on vacation. She communicates extremely well and sent us a couple of photos while we were away. Thank you Jenn! We greatly appreciate your caring for our dog! <3
As always, Sarah is the best. She has love our dogs like they were her own. She sends frequent updates and photos to let us know how our girl is doing. She was wonderful in introducing Woody to our Sweet P and I had every confidence that Sarah was the right one to help socialize our puppy. Sarah is calm and knowledgeable and she is our #1 for our Twin Cities sitting needs!!
Another five star review for Jess! She took such great care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. Our dog always has the best time with Jess and her sweet puppy, Penny. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in a loving home where she’s happy, comfortable, and well cared for. And we really appreciate the updates Jess provides throughout the stay. Highly recommend!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
