“Kristen and her family are wonderful. Leo was happy to come home but seemed to have bene well cared for. There's love and activity at their home. We are glad they are close by.”
“Bethany was so warm and welcoming and a perfect fit for my anxious very attached dog Hawkie. We were able to coordinate a visit in advance to see how he did and he did so well! I knew this was a perfect fit for my dog. I received photos and regular updates on how he was doing and it really put my mind at ease to know my sweet baby was being loved and pampered. I will definitely book with Bethany again in the future. She is a true gem! Thank you so much!”
“Lan was an amazing dog sitter. This is my first time using Rover, and to be honest, my first time leaving my dog with anyone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a bit nervous. Lan was friendly and helpful and sent pictures of Zoey about an hour after I left which help put my mind at ease. Over all a really good experience.”
“This was our first Rover experience and I couldn't be happier! We had open communication and photos the whole time. Carrie was great for Burt and even made special accomodations. Highly recommend!!”
“An excellent experience. They provided great communication with updates and photos of the dog. I could tell immediately upon picking up my dog that she enjoyed her stay with them. I plan to use them again for future travels.”
“Kristine was so great with our dog 2 year old dog, Beau. He had some playmates and a bunch of attention. Kristine did a great job keeping us updated with morning and nighttime check ins. This was our first time leaving our pup and Kristine did awesome calming our nerves with her knowledge and check ins. I think Beau already misses her. We will definitely be back.”

“This was our first time using in-home boarding for our dog, Ruby, and we were nervous about what to expect. Ashley was great! She answered all of our questions and let us know what to expect. During the stay, Ashley sent us pictures and updates. When we picked up Ruby, she clearly had a good time! We will definitely having Ruby stay with Ashley again in the future.”
“This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our dog with anyone ever, so we were a little nervous. Mike was great at putting us at ease. He is detailed in his messaging with quick reply times. We received multiple pictures every day of our dog so we could see exactly how she was doing. We had a long conversation at our meet and greet about routine, expectations, and history so we were able to go on vacation without a single worry that our dog was in good hands. We're looking forward to booking Mike in the future!”

You can tell that Carman really loves dogs to because Bud was spoiled the entire time with love and attention (: we will be using Carman as our regular sitter from now on. Thank you so much Carman!”
“Katie is an amazing sitter. She watched our dog Ramen for a week. She kept him active with walks and took so many pictures/videos. Her dogs are so cute and they became bffs. We were so lucky to have Katie as our sitter. Her communication is exceptional and I can tell she really loves what she does. Please have Ramen back!”

I received excellent updates throughout the week along with pictures. Jon was super accommodating with all of my and Stella’s needs. I would totally recommend them to anyone!”
South Saint Paul dog parents share their Rover experiences
Hollie has been so welcoming, responsive, and understanding of our dog's needs. Our dog is sometimes anxious staying in new places, but she settled into Hollie's place very quickly. Hollie was reassuring and sent pictures throughout her short stay. We look forward to our dog staying with her again!
Simon was very friendly and knowledgeable on caring for Ramzy. He introduced him to multiple different dogs, so while we were away, it just seemed like Ramzy was on his own little vacay with friends. Updated me daily with pictures and videos I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.
Jon did an excellent job taking care of our 8 1/2 year old husky, Kimchi. Kimchi adapted very well to their home, and I could tell through pictures, she was comfortable staying there. Jon followed my instructions and the routines I had established with Kimchi. It was very positive to receive his feedback along with the pictures sent showing Kimchi in her new environment, on walks, sleeping on the couch, etc. Kimchi had access to a fenced in backyard which allowed her to run freely and get that extra energy out of her. Jon was very easy to communicate with and responded to any questions I had in a timely manner. It was the first time I had utilized his services for overnight boarding. I most definitely will book with him again when needed. Jon and his wife are very friendly and approachable. It brought me great peace of mind knowing she was in good care while my husband and I were out of the country for 9 days.
Leo had a great stay with Ashley and her family. We did a meet and greet and her dogs allowed Leo to be with them immediately. As best I can tell Leo loved his time there- he came home and was his ordinary self. Ashley had noticed him shaking at one point during his stay and then that it was raining- so Leo needed his med to calm down. It seemed like Leo was in a home were he was loved and accepted and comfortable. We are glad to have found Ashley.
Allison was a wonderful sitter for our young pup, Oskar! He’s 5 months old and has only been boarded one other time, so it’s a lot of “newness” for him, and she took it all in stride. She asked questions that made us feel like she had his best interest in mind, she sent daily photos and we could tell Oskar really liked her! He was in great spirits when we picked him up and we are grateful!
