“It's always a good sign when the pups are happy to see you, and also sad to see Erin go. Erin always takes wonderful care of my pups and they are always sad to see her go!”

“Sarah took great care of our dog and cat while we were away for a few days, watched over the house, and kept everything going. She kept us informed and asked questions, and followed tips and requests in a way that gave us peace of mind and confidence. Both pets seemed to really like her, and we look forward to working with her again.”

“Ciboney was great with our medically complex dog and our super shy cat! She stayed in our house and left it clean and orderly, went above and beyond connecting with my cat and making him less scared, and had no problem pilling my dog twice a day. Definitely worth her rate, and I wouldn't think twice rebooking with her.”

“Ava was wonderful! She was very communicative, sending updates with pictures. She was very respectful and left our home clean and tidy! Most importantly Coco loved her and had a great time!!”

“Luliia did a great job. She was only with Kona for a few hours but sent us lots of pictures from her walk and rest time. Luliia was very responsive to all communication prior to booking. We look forward to using her services again!!”

“I cannot recommend Marykay highly enough! Once again, she has gone above and beyond while watching our little dog, River, during our recent trip. Not only did she keep him incredibly happy and well-cared for, but she also managed to keep our house impeccably tidy. Her dedication and care are truly amazing. Thank you, Marykay, for being so wonderful!”

“Emerson did a wonderful job caring for our dog and bunny while we were on vacation! Our dog is very anxious and can be quite a handful - he was very patient and understanding with her. Highly recommend!”

“Jessica was fantastic. She stayed in our apartment and was super communicative and responsive organizing the logistics, understood everything we explained and we felt reassured after doing the meet and greet that he will be left in good hands. She sent photos at least 3X / day, it was clear that Tucker loved her as he was snuggling up next to Jessica on the couch. Will definitely book her again, and I recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Lilah is now our go to Rover for home stays when we are out of town! She checks in when she arrives, sends pictures daily and takes our dog for a walk. We will gladly have her stay again!”

“Ashley was an excellent house/dog sitter! Our pup was clearly well taken care of, she spent lots of time playing and walking him. We appreciated the routine updates and she left the house clean and secured. Glad to know we can work with her again!”


“I highly recommend Olivia as a sitter. She was great with my dog Ash. She communicates often and is quick to reply to messages and is very professional. She sent photos and multiple daily updates. Thanks for taking care of my dog!”


“excellent gal and great pricing too! she really goes above and beyond her pay grade and puts in the extra mile to make my animals feel safe while i was away! will rebook when needed!!! Also the pictures she sent put me at ease 11/10”

“Mary was wonderful staying at my home with my dog Maple. She checked in with pictures and updates and handled some anxiety and accidents Maple had really well. Would definitely recommend Mary!”


“Lauren took such great care of Jazzi and Remi! She sent updates and photos and I could tell they were all having the best time! I will definitely be booking her services again. Thanks Lauren!! 🐾💕”

“Biiftuu was an excellent dog sitter. She clearly took good care of my little Aussie poo. She sent good pictures and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.”

“Sergio took amazing care of our dog, Sunny, and our cat, Mack, while we were away for a week. He was reliable, communicative, and made sure both pets were well cared for and loved. We appreciated the updates and could tell our pets were happy and comfortable with him. Highly recommend Sergio to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and attentive pet sitter! Thank you Sergio!”

“What a great dog sitter. Her and Stella had a great time. She took her for walks, dealt with some of her unbeknownst issues. Would highly recommend and will be using her for dog walking and house sitting. Again, thank you so much!”

Divya was excellent! Very communicative and left the house in great shape. We left our dog with her for ten days and he seemed very happy and calm when we returned! Brushed Dakota a lot and always sent pictures. Would definitely recommend booking her for anything!

We had our first full weekend with Shykala and it went very well. Shykala is a fantastic communicator and photographer. Some of the pictures she sent are so precious! She was punctual, thoughtful and left the house in better shape than she found it. Very grateful for her care of Taggy!

Serena took phenomenal care of Michi while we were out of town for 4 days. She was very communicative & provided daily updates in the AM & PM, which I appreciated. Serena was very caring & tender—Michi’s needs are higher, she needs daily oral medication & occasionally needs to be hand fed, Serena took the time to do these things to ensure Michi kept well & healthy. Serena was also very respectful of our space, our home & when we returned, it was just as we left it. We’d recommend Serena to anyone needing quality care for their pet! Thank you so much, Serena!!

Literally the most above and beyond Rover you could ask for. Aftyn watched Franklin during our wedding weekend. My wife’s sister secretly reached out and Aftyn brought Frank to the courthouse to surprise us and get some pictures taken. She delivered and was great with Frank while watching him too. 100 out of 5!

Emily is phenomenal with her two golden retrievers. This is our second time booking with her. She goes above and beyond. One of our golden retrievers is medically complex and she leads with her heart in caring for our dogs while we are away. Overall, she is a gem!

Katie was awesome and it was one of the best dog-sitting experiences we’ve had. We have a senior dog who prefers to stay in our home when we need to be away. Katie was communicative and sent regular updates and photos, took great care of our dog, and left the house just as she found it. When we returned home, our dog was happy and comfortable - not anxious and stressed as she’s been at other times when we’ve returned. We couldn’t be happier with Katie and would use her again without hesitation. Thank you, Katie!

Madeline stayed in my home with my cat, Juan, for 10 days, and she was amazing! Juan really bonded with her, and her communication was top-notch throughout my trip. When he stopped eating for a couple of days, she let me know immediately, spoke with the vet clinic, restarted some of his medications, and picked up different food options. Thanks to her attentiveness and interventions, she was able to get him eating again. I came home to a tidy house and clean bedding. I will definitely have Madeline care for Juan again!

I felt very comfortable leaving my home and special kitties with Oliver. I got updates and photos, and I have lots of plants indoors and outdoors, and all were fine when I returned. Lots of watering got done! The towels and sheets were washed and the bed made. Great job.

Anna is one of the best dog sitters we have ever had (and we use Rover A LOT!)! She is a good communicator, conscientious, very respectful of what might be our weird doggy rules, and of course, responsible. What I especially love is that she seems to take her caretaker role seriously. Meaning, she doesn't give us the vibe like, "Hey, I'm doing YOU a favor," like we've experienced in the past. She takes her role as it is: She is paid to complete a service according to our requirements. So, if she thinks she might not be able to do it as we've asked, she checks in on it. We love that. We love that she takes that ownership over her role and our communication together. She'll always be our first call here in MN!

Danny stepped in for a very last minute request to care for my dog. She was very easy to work with and had great communication. While we were away, Danny sent updates and pictures. Scout was a happy boy when we returned, so I know he was well cared for while we were gone!
