“Karen is truly incredible. She takes care of your four legged kid like it is her own and does not miss a beat. She gave daily updates, exposed our pup to things he has never been exposed to, and is genuinely a great human being. We are incredibly grateful for the time that we could spend away completely worry free with our dog in Karen’s care.”
“Kelly and her family made our dog Celine feel like part of their own. I was so happy to learn that she wouldn’t be in a crate for the majority of the time spent at Kelly’s. It was so reassuring to go away and know that my pup was being lovingly cared for.”
“John and Teri were fantastic! They took amazing care of our quirky doodle, and we really appreciate their kindness, communication, pictures, and care! Would recommend them to any and all and will totally use them again! Thank you for giving us peace of mind while we were away! Bonus was a huge fenced in yard to let the 🐕 roam!”
“Brock and Laura (and their kiddos) took great care of Theo! Great communication and frequent updates. They kept Theo very busy with lots of walking and playing. He was happy and tired when he got home! You can be assured your pup will be in great hands with Brock and Laura!”
“This was our first time leaving our babies (2 dogs). It was so great knowing they would be in good hands with Mike, it made our time away easier to relax. Jack (our lab) was worn out and laid around most of the day when we got home, he loved his days playing with his other friends at Mike's. We will for sure use Mike again, the boys said they couldn't wait to go back! Thanks Mike for taking such good care of our babies while we were on our get-away and making them part of your family!”
“Everything about this stay was fantastic! Cate and Tim were VERY accommodating and took really good care of our Sadie. The yard and home are set up for dogs to be safe and have fun. Cate is super responsive and flexible. Sadie enjoyed hanging out with their nice family and very friendly family pet. Thanks Cate!”
“Monika and her pet family were wonderful with my two dogs. My dogs got along well with her pets and loved the large, fenced back yard. My older dog is deaf and has some GI issues requiring medication which Monika took care of for me. The pictures she sent on a daily basis showed how happy they were and cared for. They stayed for a week and loved every minute with her family.”
“Tonya did a remarkable job watching our dog! She was attentive to our dog's needs, was in great communication with us throughout his stay, and I had peace of mind knowing my dog was well cared for. I highly recommend Tonya!”
“We felt so comfortable leaving Katniss with Sarah and Richard. Right from our meet and greet we knew we'd have no worries leaving her with their family. You can tell that they (and their kids) have such love for animals. We received an evening update with photos and a video each night of Katniss' stay which showed us just how much fun she was having with their dog, Sadie. We will definitely be using Sarah and Richard again in the future!”
“Jessica and her husband were great. My dog has separation anxiety, but she was in no hurry to leave their home. And, she's been relaxed since her stay with them. Communication was great. I will definitely use Jessica again!”
“Hands down, Dynette is the best pet sitter I have ever used! She went above and beyond with my dog! She kept me informed and sent me pictures throughout the week and I have never been on a trip and felt so at ease about leaving my dog! I knew that my dog was in great hands and getting lots of love! I was so pleased that I am booking her for another vacation in a few months!”
“Katie was helpful and communicative from the start. When our plans changed she was able to accommodate those changes and work with us. The flexibility was appreciated. Would be happy to work with her again.”
“Lan has watched my puppy Posie a couple times now and she takes such great care of her! She’s super accommodating- my flight was delayed this past weekend and she was very nice about keeping my puppy longer than planned. Highly recommend her!”
“Carman and her family were wonderful! Mira looked right at home. We are so grateful she got to get in a handful of walks and playing at their lovely home. :)”
“Our dog loved her stay, and Brooklin kept us updated throughout our vacation, so we had peace of mind as well. I highly recommend Brooklin and her family as a safe and wonderful home for your pet while you're away.”
“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Tasha on Rover! We already knew Tasha, so we were confident our dog would be in great hands and she absolutely delivered. Her family helped out too, and it was clear our pups got tons of love and attention from everyone. Tasha kept us updated throughout our trip, and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog who clearly enjoyed his time with them. The sweetest surprise? They even taught him a brand-new trick! He’s been proudly showing it off. Highly recommend Tasha and her wonderful family to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾💛”
“Jenny and fam were amazing! I felt comfortable with her from the moment we showed up at her house. They loved on Mocha and she looked like she adjusted quickly and was part of the family. The pictures she sent made me smile. Thank you for providing such a loving and safe home! We will be back.”

“Kelly is kind, attentive, professional and reliable. She’s great at communicating and keeping you updated. She’s very knowledgeable and you can tell she truly loves cats!”
“Lauren was very reliable and communicative. She did a great job teaming with a neighbor that came over in the evenings. She worked diligently to urge our cat to come out and see her, but she is a rescue and very shy…..”
“Valerie was absolutely wonderful as a drop-in sitter for our two cats! Not only did she conscientiously complete all instructions with care, she noticed details and proactively took initiative. Communication was outstanding with many updates, photos, and cute cat videos. She was insightful and sensitive to our cats' unique personalities, in tune with their needs and respecting their cat moods. She worked above and beyond, generous with her visit time, even bringing a fun cat toy that my kitties loved. We are selective about our pet care, and I am confident that our kitties were in the best hands!”
“Paige was wonderful with our kitties. They were happy when we returned, so we could tell they'd gotten lots of snuggles. And she pilled our senior cat twice a day, which isn't the easiest task. We'll definitely reach out to her again!”
About: I grew up with a menagerie of pets--including many dogs, cats, birds, hedgehogs, and hamsters. Our senior dog just passed away. We still have a bearded dragon and chickens. I am an animal lover through and through! We had inside and outside cats in my childhood and I love helping them warm up to a new person, engaging them in play with toys and snuggling them once they are comfortable. I would love to drop in to care for your cats!
About: I have plenty of experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality and comfort level. I’m comfortable providing meals, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I also volunteered at a local Humane Society, where I cared for a variety of cats with different personalities, temperaments, and needs. I helped provide daily care, including feeding, cleaning litter boxes and living areas, socializing, playing with, and giving attention to the cats. This experience taught me how to be patient and gentle with shy, nervous, or more independent cats and how to make each cat feel safe and comfortable. I’m also patient with shy or nervous cats and will always give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away, while also keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind.
“Jessica was very responsive and took such good care of our kitties! We will for sure be using her again. It’s so nice to know that our animals are being looked after by someone who truly cares when we are out of town.”
“Vanessa is a true cat-lover and our cat was comfortable with her from the first time they met. She took excellent care of him while we were away on vacation, followed directions, and I would highly recommend her to other cat parents.”
“Leann was our first experience with a pet sitter from Rover. She showed up every day right on schedule, made sure they had their food, water, and medicine, They also got some play time and human companionship. Leann even got one of the best photos of one of our cats who is notoriously difficult to photograph. We'd book her again.”
About: I have recently been added to the cat distribution system, with my 8 year old orange cat Nimrod. My grandmothers cat! I am great at reading cats and their emotions, because they are a bit deeper than dogs. Nimrod has taught me a deeper patience and understanding for cats; taking things slow and creating a lasting and trusting bond. That is what will translate while I cat sit for you!
“Rachel was a fantastic sitter for our 3 cats! We spent 2 weeks abroad and it was such a comfort knowing she was stopping in daily to care for our fur babies. She sent updates daily with how they were doing and provided lots of pictures, which were so fun to see. She had great communication and was very quick to respond to messages. Rachel has a gentle personality that is perfect for caring for your pets, and we will absolutely be booking with her in the future.”
“Leslie was very prompt and professional in her response to our request. Our dog was very comfortable with her right away, and so were we. She communicated well how the in-home visits were going, and we would definitely recommend using her for dog care.”

“This was the first time we used Rover. We left Gunner for a daycare day to start. Carolyn and Kristopher were great with Gunner. Carolyn wrote down all the details of Gunner’s normal routine and his particular needs. He came home very tired which was a win. We will be using them again in February for a longer stay. So thankful we found such wonderful people to leave him with.”
“We had such a great experience with Giovana! She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages. It was clear that Kit was well cared for and loved — Giovana truly treated her like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for her kindness and attention, and we’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Karen was so kind and welcoming to our very energetic pup! She has great attention to detail and took the time to truly get to know our dog and his unique personality and needs. Getting updates and pictures of our dog having the time of his life with Karen and her family made us feel so at ease knowing that he was in great, loving hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Karen in the future and our pup can’t wait to go back! ☺️❤️”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs for most of my life, and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. My own dog recently passed away, so I truly understand how much love, attention, and patience every dog deserves. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I follow your dog’s routine closely so they feel at home. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I can administer basic medications if needed. Flexible schedule, including weekends and holidays” I’m happy to help with: • Doggy Day Care • Overnight care If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and will care for yours like their own, I’d love to help! Between me and my husband, there is usually someone home. I’m typically home by around 1pm each day. My husband works part-time in the evenings. This allows me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. I’m available for afternoon/evening visits, overnight care, and flexible on weekends. In my home, I have a backyard for fresh air and potty breaks, but since it is not fenced, dogs are always kept on a leash and supervised at all times to ensure their safety. Inside, I make sure they are comfortable, well-rested, and get plenty of attention and playtime.
“Caleb is amazing. He took the time to put together an activity list for our puppy, made sure he had multiple forms of mental stimulation (lick pads, puzzles), and ensured plenty of exercise. Caleb gave us a gift of our own lick pad, so very thoughtful. We will be back for more doggy day care.”
“Brittni took good care of Zadie for the day she was there. There was an incident with another dog, and she made sure to communicate right away and went through the proper channels to make sure everything was documented. Her and her husband took good care of zadie before and after the incident to help her feel safe and calm.”
About: I have cared for animals ever since I was a child. I am a caretaker by nature after years of working in healthcare.

I work part-time 3 days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) otherwise I am home with my 2 year old and 13 year old boys. I also have a playful four- year-old yellow lab female.

I can also leave her home with the family if care is needed at your house, I do have a one year-old who is attached to my hip most of the time.

She was in great hands and I highly recommend them to anyone needing care. My dog especially loved exploring their fenced in yard !”

“Tofte had a great time at Bethany's! She provided great detail on his end-of-day report card and had lots of pictures that showed that he enjoyed his day with her.”
“Last Friday was second time for Ruby at Mary’s. I’ve done regular daycare facilities in the past but have been wanting to try a more personal and less busy atmosphere. I feel Ruby is happy to go to Mary’s and is comfortable being there. I feel Ruby is being well cared for and trust Mary.”
“Jessica and her family are amazing hosts. They were easy to coordinate with and took great care of our senior husky. We will be rebooking with them in the future if they’ll have Cricket!”

“Fiona’s first outing with Valerie went really well. Fiona got good exercise and Valerie worked with her on manners and over reactivity. Valerie gave us good feed back and videos. We will continue with Valeria and look forward to Fiona’s progress.”
About: My family dog passed away in 2024, since then I’ve filled my doggy-shaped hole by volunteering at Coco’s Heart (dog rescue) and house/dog sitting for families in my area. I work from home, so I’m able to give your animals their much-deserved attention throughout the day! My experience ranges from young puppies just brought to rescue, teenage dogs, to senior dogs, all needing special attention in their own ways. I am punctual with medications, meals and bathroom breaks. I currently work from home, and while house sitting am able to provide around the clock care. For walks or part-time, my schedule may vary slightly. Maintaining and respecting my client’s home is of upmost importance when caring for pets. Keeping not only their environment clean and safe, but the owners as well is important to what I offer. Whether it’s expected or not, I will leave the place the same, if not better than you left it. I strive for frequent communication and avoid outside environments that may stress pets out.
About: Hi! My name is Ashley. I am originally from Superior. We just recently moved to Woodbury from Appleton. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and the level of care and communication I provide. I’ve had dogs my entire life, including hands-on experience caring for a diabetic dog, so I’m comfortable with medication routines, special diets, and consistent care. I’m confident with high-energy dogs and patient with puppies and seniors who need a gentler pace. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home often and able to provide attentive, structured care, along with regular updates and photos so you always feel at ease. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are very open for walks and drop-in visits, as I’m home and have a flexible schedule on those days. Tuesdays and Thursdays also work well when my schedule is open, and I’m happy to communicate availability in advance. Weekends are often available as well and may vary slightly depending on my family’s schedule, but I do my best to remain flexible whenever possible. Overnight care is also something I’m excited to offer when my schedule allows, as I understand how comforting it can be for pets to stay in their own home while their owners are away. I’m always happy to discuss scheduling needs and will be clear and communicative to ensure the best care for your pets. I care for pets as if they were my own, closely following their routine and your instructions. In your home, I focus on consistent feeding, walks, medications, and any special care needs. For walks and drop-ins, I make sure each visit includes quality time, attention, exercise, and affection, not just a quick stop.
“Our dogs all loved Paula during the meet and greet and we could tell she is a kind person and a big animal lover! She was very accommodating around our schedule. And she took a lot of pictures and provided a detailed update on our older dogs and our new puppy. Highly recommended!”
“Sarah & Jessica were very communicative and provided detailed daily updates during check-ins with our golden retriever, including photos, and took excellent care of her. They were prompt in responding, completed a timely pre-booking meet-and-greet with us, and consistently showed up for full, on-time walks with regular photo updates. Overall, the experience was stress-free and reliable, and we would highly recommend using their services!”
About: My pet/house sitting adventures have taken me across the country, from Oregon to Hawaii to South Carolina. I have cared for a variety of breeds and personalities, from high-energy pups to mellow seniors, and I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique quirks and routines. Our family absolutely loves animals, but we do not have any of our own. We love welcoming special guests into our home and giving them 100% of our love and attention while they’re with us ❤ We also enjoy caring for pets in their own homes, where they may feel most comfortable. I'm attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and special care instructions, and I’m comfortable with everything from daily walks to medication administration. We’re a blended family with one child (age 14) who lives with us half the time, and two children (ages 8 and 4) who are here full-time. They're gentle and very respectful of animals, and they love to help when families and pets are comfortable with it. Depending on your preferences (and your pet’s comfort level), my kids may join me for some or none of the time. We’re flexible and will prioritize what helps your pet feel relaxed and loved. Thank you for your time! I’ve worked remotely for 14 years, which gives me the flexibility to provide care either in my home or yours. I’m typically available on weekdays and many weekends, too. We do not have a fenced-in yard, however, our family loves to spend time outdoors and go on walks. We would love to include your pet(s) in our adventures, if you're comfortable with us doing so!
About: Your pets are part of your family, and they deserve the best care possible. That's exactly what I give every animal I look after. I'm a proud cat mom to Salam and Binx, and I've been caring for other people's pets for years. I've dog sat for my family's goldendoodle for several years and regularly look after friends' cats. I also volunteered at Caring for Cats, where I got hands-on experience with cats of all personalities. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit visits and walks around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking for cats and small to medium dogs in and around Lake Elmo. You'll get daily photo updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I truly love everything about caring for animals, and I'd love to meet yours. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit visits and walks around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking for cats and small to medium dogs in and around Lake Elmo. I don't host pets in my home, so all of my care happens in yours. Your pet stays in the environment they know best, with their own bed, their own routine, and none of the stress that comes with a new place. In-home visits: Fresh food and water, litter box scooped or potty break handled, medications given as directed, and real time spent with your pet. Play, brushing, or a quiet lap sit, depending on what they're into. I don't rush in and out. Dog walking: Leashed walks at a pace that fits your dog, whether that's a brisk loop or a slow sniff around the block. I keep a close eye on other dogs and traffic, and I always clean up. While you're away: I'm happy to bring in mail and packages, adjust blinds, and keep an eye on things so your home looks lived in. I leave everything exactly as I found it. Before every booking I do a meet and greet so we can go over your pet's routine, quirks, medical needs, and anything that makes them nervous. I want to know where the leash lives and what your vet's number is before you ever leave. You'll get daily photo updates, and I'm always reachable if something comes up.
About: Between my own family and my wife's, I've had alot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've house sat for elderly dogs and raised and trained our own puppy. I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.
About: I’ve spent years caring for my own pets, ensuring they’re happy and healthy. I’ve looked after my grandma's cat multiple times and other puppies and kitties for friends. I stand out from other sitters because of my deep passion for animals and my hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs. I love to give extensive play-times when possible, and lots of pets! Whether it’s administering medication for senior pets or providing a nurturing environment for lonely kitties, I’m committed to giving your furry friends the best care possible. I'm currently working part-time as well as attending university, so my schedule may be busy, but I am more than willing to work around it to accommodate for proper pet care. My Sundays are always open and Fridays are usually open as well. Let's work something out! I live in a safe, well-secured apartment complex beside a golf course, so plenty of room to give walks if needed. I also have two kitties with separate rooms, based on if your furry friend needs company or just some alone time! I am committed to ensuring that every pet is happy and healthy and feels safe in its environment.
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and abilities through volunteering and pet sitting. While I’ve only formally trained my own dogs, I’ve gained plenty of real-world knowledge by working with everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a gentler touch. I'm patient, reliable, and genuinely passionate about making pets feel loved, safe, and happy while their humans are away. Whether it's a long walk, some playtime, or just quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs—because every animal deserves to feel at home, even when they’re not! I work full time but fully remote from my home office so I am available for morning, lunch, or after work walks or feeds when you are rushing to get to work or travel. I typically do not care for pets in my own home as my dog is picky about which dogs are around and I don't want to put anyone at risk. I am happy to come to you!
“Jessica took amazing care of my dog while I was at work! She sent updates and great pictures to put this nervous dog mama at ease! I will definitely be using Jessica again! She is a rock star ⭐️”
“Lulu loves walks with Alexandra. She is patient with our Lulu and goes above and beyond. She even brought up our garbage cans. We recommend Alexandra 1000% and will book with her again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so caring for them is second nature to me!

I’m happy to help with basic training, stick to routines, and make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and tail wags while you’re away I’m in school, but I make plenty of time for pets!

About: I grew up with a lot of pets. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, and for the last 3 years I've been doing pet care along with child care for a well respected small company in Northern MN. I love working with animals and I'm very good at taking care of them, whether that's short term, long term, or just for a day. I'm currently not working outside of pet sitting, and I try to be very active so daily walks are a must have along with trips to the park and indoor play time. I keep a consistent sleep schedule so I can easily cater to the schedule of your animals. I live in a townhouse community near a lake with a walking trail and a large open field perfect for longer walks with the pups! When I'm in a clients home, I will communicate with you first to learn if you have a schedule for the pets you'd like me to follow. Then I will make sure their needs are met and have plenty of play time in and outside so they get their exercise in between naps and cuddles.
About: I love dogs and have a fenced in yard for them to play. 🐾 I am knowledgeable about dog behavior and recognize signs of illness or distress. I have experience with potty training, medication administration, and reinforcing basic training commands. I work day shift while my husband, Chad, works evening shift. One of us are home most of the time - there might be a few hours in the afternoon/evening when we both work. We crate our pups when they’re home alone and have a dog camera to monitor them closely. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space inside my home for pups to make themselves comfortable. In my home, dogs are welcome on furniture and will receive lots of pets and playtime. I will maintain a safe, clean, and loving environment for our fur babies.

Jack (our lab) was worn out and laid around most of the day when we got home, he loved his days playing with his other friends at Mike's. We will for sure use Mike again, the boys said they couldn't wait to go back! Thanks Mike for taking such good care of our babies while we were on our get-away and making them part of your family!”
“Everything about this stay was fantastic! Cate and Tim were VERY accommodating and took really good care of our Sadie. The yard and home are set up for dogs to be safe and have fun. Cate is super responsive and flexible. Sadie enjoyed hanging out with their nice family and very friendly family pet. Thanks Cate!”
“Monika and her pet family were wonderful with my two dogs. My dogs got along well with her pets and loved the large, fenced back yard. My older dog is deaf and has some GI issues requiring medication which Monika took care of for me. The pictures she sent on a daily basis showed how happy they were and cared for. They stayed for a week and loved every minute with her family.”
“We felt so comfortable leaving Katniss with Sarah and Richard. Right from our meet and greet we knew we'd have no worries leaving her with their family. You can tell that they (and their kids) have such love for animals. We received an evening update with photos and a video each night of Katniss' stay which showed us just how much fun she was having with their dog, Sadie. We will definitely be using Sarah and Richard again in the future!”
“Jessica and her husband were great. My dog has separation anxiety, but she was in no hurry to leave their home. And, she's been relaxed since her stay with them. Communication was great. I will definitely use Jessica again!”
“Carman and her family were wonderful! Mira looked right at home. We are so grateful she got to get in a handful of walks and playing at their lovely home. :)”
“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Tasha on Rover! We already knew Tasha, so we were confident our dog would be in great hands and she absolutely delivered. Her family helped out too, and it was clear our pups got tons of love and attention from everyone. Tasha kept us updated throughout our trip, and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog who clearly enjoyed his time with them. The sweetest surprise? They even taught him a brand-new trick! He’s been proudly showing it off. Highly recommend Tasha and her wonderful family to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾💛”
“Robert sent photos and videos everyday. He really picked up on our dog's personalities. We will definitely use him again and recommend him to others. The dogs had a great time!”
“Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.”
“My dog was well cared for - even pampered by being allowed to sleep on the humans' bed. She came home happy and a little tired after a weekend with Danielle's 2 much younger, more active, but very gentle dogs. Danielle has a very large, secure yard for the dogs to play in and explore. Between the outdoor space and the young dogs to play with, Flicka got lots of good exercise.”
“Cassie is kind, calm, and unflappable in the face of our two mad, if adorable, Airedales, as well as our own human disorientation and disorganization. We had a one night stay as a trial run for our longer absence and it went really well. We feel confident our dogs will be well cared for while we're on vacation!”
“Claire did a great job taking care of our dog Remy! He is a high energy lab mix and can be anxious and very vocal, but Claire was patient and sent lots of updates.”
“Sunny had a great long weekend boarding with Gina, Wally and family. We were sent photos, videos and regular updates. We could tell Sunny was comfortable and having a fun time. Would love to find another time to have Sunny stay with her new bestie Wally!”
