2. Jennifer F.
“Jennifer took excellent care of my pup, Luchito. She dropped in and took him out, played and fed him. It put me at ease knowing he was in good hands. She was great at communicating updates. Would highly recommend and will hire again in the future.”
3. Maddy N.
“Maddy was super kind and communicative. She treated our dogs so well and made our day away from the house so easy and not stressful! Definitely glad to know she’s here if we need her in the future!”

“Sophie was great!! She kept me very updated on my kitties with detailed messages and lots of pictures! I know my kittens loved playing with her and I felt great knowing they were in good hands! Would definitely have back!”
5. Molly C.
“Molly was so so sweet and patient with my two cats. I had her stop in for 5 days while I was on vacation and I could tell from the photos, they really enjoyed her presence and felt cared for. Molly stayed for longer than was needed and also brought my kitties a cat toy they love🥹. I don’t have enough good things to say about her care for my babies. This was my first time ever using Rover and Molly made my experience 110% exceed my expectations. I will be re-booking with her in the future. Thank you so much Molly! ❤️”
6. Shykala B.
“Shykala watched my cat and she took so much thought in her care. She took the time to spend time with my cat so that she wasn’t bored while I was away. She sent a bunch of photos so I knew my pet was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking her again to watch my pet”
7. Erin M.
“Erin would be an excellent Rover caregiver! She has a love of all animals, especially dogs and would care for them as if they were her own. She owns a 3 yr old Burner and has so much love for Sota. Getting to spend time with more pets would be her dream. She talks about (and I have no doubt she'll do it one day) to have a big farm/acreage when she can raise, breed and rescue animals. She really would be great at this!”
8. Kristi L.

9. Konnor T.
“This was our serving time having Konnor take care of our Bowie. He did a fantastic job again and we would definitely use him again and highly recommend him!”
10. Anne B.
“Anne was able to come on super short notice notice over a holiday weekend. She was very responsive to message and get reassuring. She took great care of all of our pets, not just Roxxie, even though she didn't have to. When Roxxie was nervous about a stranger being in the house she went above and beyond to be extra caring and stayed long after the visit was supposed to end to try and coax her out of the bedroom. She sent lots of pictures of happy pets so i wouldn't worry, and everyone had a great weekend. I will definitely be using Anne next time i need to leave my babies home alone. Thank you so so much!”

16. Katilynn L.
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs since I was a little girl, and originally began dog sitting around 10 years old, caring for my family pets as well as pets around the neighborhood. I have experience with caring for dogs of all ages and backgrounds from puppies to senior dogs, and rescues to purebreds. I am a registered nurse in the twin cities, and enjoy my off days ;) During undergrad, I volunteered at "4 Luv of Dogs" rescue organization and absolutely loved it! In my free time I enjoy working out, spending time with friends, and playing tennis or pickleball. I am a nurse working here in the twin cities, so my schedule is a little different each week. My weekend availability is reflected in my schedule, due to me having to work every 3rd weekend. I ensure that my Rover schedule is up to date with my current work schedule. On off days I would love to take your dog for a nice long walk, or even to the park to run around and play! Take a look at my schedule to find a time that works for you or feel free to reach out with any questions :) With a strong medical background, ensuring your dogs safety is my #1! I am qualified in insulin and medication administration if that kind of care is needed. I am attentive, reliable, and looking forward to hanging out with your pup :)
17. Sarah K.
“Sarah has had, and cared for animals her entire life. She has genuine care and compassion for all animals and enjoys spending time with them. She was a volunteer at the Wisconsin Humane Society and showed great responsibility for the animals in her care.”
18. Emily D.
“I am thrilled to wholeheartedly recommend Emily for any dog walking position. Her exceptional intelligence, unwavering responsibility, and active lifestyle make her an ideal candidate. Emily possesses a natural affinity for animals and demonstrates remarkable attentiveness and care. She goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of the pets under her care. With her proactive approach and enthusiasm for outdoor activities, every walk becomes not just a duty but an enriching experience for the dogs she walks. Without a doubt, Emily is the perfect choice for any dog walking role.”
19. Alexandra R.
“Ali has been caring for cats and dogs all of her life. I'm lucky to say that she's taken care of my three cats and dogs many times over the years. Even the shy cats adore her. She is very respectful, timely and attentive. I can't recommend her enough to take care of your beloved pets!”
20. Charli M.
“Charli is a loyal pet lover! She has a strong work ethic and cares deeply for animals. If a pet needs love, she’s the one to give it. Before college she has always loved walking our dog. She disregarded the hair of shedding animals to make sure they got the hugs and love they deserve!”
