“Kristi was amazing with my cat! On her first visit she sent 29 (!!!) photos and Junie was happy and healthy when I got back. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Grace was so easy to work with. She did an incredible job of working with my cats that needed some extra assistance while I was out of town. I would highly recommend her.”

“Tanya was able to cover for our typical dog sitter last minute and did a fantastic job! She took our dog on long walks both visits which Teddy definitely enjoyed!”

“Amanda is a cat whisperer who treats our fur babies like they’re her own. She goes above and beyond to take care of them and helps us rest easy when we’re traveling. We will definitely ask Amanda to watch our kitties again and highly recommend you trust her with your fur babies, too.”

“Christy always does a great job taking care of miss Addy. She is fantastic! We appreciate everything you do for our kitty, including taking her out to our yard. Thank you, Christy!”

“Crystal is kind, sweet, and trustworthy. She was sure to check in on the app for each drop in date. She also included a summary of her visit and multiple pictures of the kitties! We are sure they enjoyed their time with her :) Would book again ??”

“Jessica provided lots of photos and showed that she was spending plenty of quality time with my cat Murph! It looked like she had a great time and was very well taken care of!”

“I have 6 cats and needed someone to drop in on them when I was out of town. Kendall came over for a meet and greet before the booking started to meet me and my cats. She took pictures of my cats and let me know everything was OK with my cats in the Rover cards. Thank you, Kendall! I really appreciate you caring for my cats while I was gone.”

“Sarah came through for us again by doing a 1 hour drop in visit to feed, play with the dogs and let them relieve themselves in the yard. We are so lucky to have her on our team! Also her pictures are always better than the ones I take myself. Thank you!”

“Andrew came through with almost no notice and showed up promptly—total lifesaver. He was kind, calm, and instantly won over Princess Leia 🐾 (she says he’s welcome back anytime to play). Highly recommend!”

“Abigail was great with my cat Pinecone! She took the time to find him and play with him during every visit. I get nervous about leaving him for longer trips, but I felt so confident in Abigail’s ability to provide amazing care for him!”

About: With over 8 years of experience in animal care, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, rats, and even lizards! I’m confident handling pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions who need a bit of extra TLC. I also have experience administering medications like pills, topical creams, and pet inhalers. I’m always happy to learn your pet’s unique routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m a student at the University of Minnesota and love spending my free time caring for animals. While my weekday schedule is limited due to classes and work, I’m fully available on Fridays and weekends and would be happy to dedicate that time to pet care. I look forward to meeting new pets and giving them the attention they deserve! Since I care for pets in their own homes, I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I stick to their usual routine—whether that means walks, meals, playtime, or meds—whatever they need to feel at ease. I know how important it is to have someone you trust in your home, so I’m always respectful of your space and do my best to leave things just as I found them (or better!). I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured while you're away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and try to make the time you're gone as stress-free as possible for both of you.
“Sydney took great care of my three cats while I was away, and I was so appreciative of all the detailed updates and photos each visit. She even gave updates on what kind of food my cats seemed more interested in that day (note to self: they are out of their beef pate phase!). I highly recommend Sydney for cat sitting and will book again! She went above and beyond to make sure all of their needs were met, including playing with them and making sure they were comfortable while I was gone. My babies were happy and healthy when I returned. It was such a relief knowing my cats were in safe hands, and I truly appreciated Sydney!”

“Clara took excellent care of my kitties while I was away! Great communication and response time. I would recommend Clara for any of your pet sitting needs!”

“This was our first experience using Rover. Thank you for making it so easy. Macy S was the best! She was so polite and conscientious. She sent the cutest pictures of our cats warming up to her and it made us feel relieved they were safe so we could enjoy our time away from them. Overall very positive experience. Would use Rover again.”

“Renee is such a lifesaver! She has helped us out when we have been in a crunch and has been extremely reliable! We and our puppy love her! She has been an amazing caregiver for our dog! I would totally recommend her and so grateful we get to keep her on board for regular puppy sitting!”
“Marykay is awesome. She is my go-to favorite cat sitter because it is obvious that she really cares about animals. My cats are much less anxious when I come home after she has been the sitter.”

“Scott is prompt, an excellent communicator and has taken such wonderful care of my two cats! I’m so grateful to have found Scott who has watched my babies on our last two trips!”

Meri is a fantastic sitter, that we will absolutely hire again! We had to find a last minute sitter, for a week’s time, for two cats, and our usual sitters were unavailable. I’m always hesitant with strangers around my pet-babies, let alone LEAVING them with a stranger, but I am so SO glad we went with Meri after receiving several recommendations for their amazing services. Fast, efficient communication. Great prices. Very kind, with good friendly energy. Made sure to keep us updated on a couple requests. Asked for an initial pre-meeting, which some sitters do not do, and I really appreciated that. Clearly speaks and understands cat fluently, and the boys had a blast! Thank you Meri!

We asked Sarah to return to our home to take care of our 2 kittens while out for a week, and we had just as positive experience as the first time we hired her! She communicated well, was timely, and took care of everything for the cats while we were gone. We will gladly hire her again the next time we take a trip!
