Cate is super responsive and flexible. Sadie enjoyed hanging out with their nice family and very friendly family pet. Thanks Cate!”
“Wow!! We had a boarding set up with another Rover family but unfortunately - it was not going to be a good fit. I quickly messaged Princesa - as this was the day we were to leave for the long memorial weekend - and she responded almost instantly! They were Incredibly flexible offering to meet for public pick up on our way out of town or bring her to their home based on our needs. Our pup had an AMAZING time and we were updated with pictures and texts daily. We were able to enjoy our holiday weekend with our minds at ease knowing our pup was well taken care of!!!! Thank you so much!!!! This was our first time using Rover and will definitely be boarding with them in the future!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”

They gave our dog lots of TLC while we were away and sent messages/pictures daily. We highly recommend them!”
“I can't say enough about Karen, from the meet n great through the entire stay. She was very thorough with details and communication. She welcomed my fur baby into her home and loved him like her own. She did an amazing job keeping him in his daily routine. This was the first time he has stayed with anyone other than family and I could not be happier. The daily updates and photos helped me enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands! I could tell with the photos that he was really loved and super happy. I look forward to booking more stays and highly recommend her and her family.”

It was so reassuring knowing Calvin was in such good hands while we were gone. We highly recommend Dynette and will definitely book with her again next time we need a sitter.”

“Tonya made our pup feel so loved with plenty of cuddles and walks! Willow felt comfortable right away. She sent us a couple photos and messages each day so we knew how she was doing!”
“Kaitlyn is the best! My dog Myrtle gets a lot of activity and exercise in when she is there and we know she is taken care of well ♥️ Kaitlyn is also a great communicator and very accommodating!”

Frequent and quick communication including many photos, which we really enjoyed. Rocky came home happy and we will definitely have him stay with them again!”
“Suki's first time with Lisa could not have been better! Lisa and her family were flexible and accommodating of our evolving schedule and took extra time to meet with us the day before to get everyone comfortable. Suki seemed right at home and was a very happy pup when we picked her up. We look forward to working with Lisa again!”

About: Cats have been a big part of my life too! I’ve spent years caring for my brother’s cat and getting to know all the little quirks that make cats so special. I understand that some cats want endless attention and cuddles, while others prefer to observe you from across the room until they decide you’ve earned their trust. I’m happy to follow their lead, respect their space, and give them plenty of affection, playtime, and attention when they want it. Every cat has their own personality, and I’d love the chance to get to know yours!
“Valerie was great with our two kitties! Our boy cat is typical not trusting of new people and can be hard to work with, and she was very patient with him! Our girl cat became best friends with Valerie!! She was very thorough with her duties, had great communication and I know our kitties were well taken care of!”
“Paige is amazing and Sasha comes out of her hiding place to greet her. We come home to a house that does not smell of a litter box left unattended, there’s food in her bowl and available water. Sasha seems mildly happy to see us as well!”
“Rory exceeded every expectation I could have had while cat sitting. I am an over-protective cat mom and didn’t worry, not even once about my babies. He went above and beyond- I couldn’t have asked for more or better. I absolutely, 100% recommend Rory- u will not be disappointed.”
“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.”
About: Hi! My name is Frankie, and I’ve spent many years caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and personalities. I truly love animals, and my top priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I nanny as well and know these are babies too just with fur!
“Gavin took great care of our dog, Luna, and my brother’s dog, Ike, over the holiday weekend. He was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups and would gladly book with Gavin again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Denise was amazing and I really appreciate everything she did for our cat during our vacation. In the beginning, I was a bit uncomfortable with the idea of using the app; but I am glad I decided to use it. Denise helped us be at ease and comfortable when we met her, she also helped me navigate the app and made things so much easier for me. She was very throughout and caring with our cat and made his stay alone less lonely. We are definitely calling Denise for future times away. We had the peace of mind we needed knowing that our cat was taken care of during our time away from home. Thank you very much Denise for helping us.”
About: I've had more than 2 dogs in my home my entire life, from 8 week old puppies to seniors. I have experience giving the dogs medicine when they need it. I work part time at a retail store, so I am never working more than 9 hours at a time, I usually only work 4-5 hours normally. I make the pets my priority when I am caring for them and I watch their behaviors so I can catch anything out of the ordinary. I follow feeding directions and potty schedules.
About: I have a been around all different types of dogs my whole life. From my parents family dog for 14 years, to grandmas farm dogs, and to now with us and all our friends dogs! We love to go on hikes, walk parks, and my favorite of them all a great game of fetch. Your dog will truly become one of the family if we are blessed enough to watch your pets. I’m currently just working weekends as a bartender. I usually go to work around 11 and am home around 7 at the latest. I am great about getting up and doing the morning walk and feeding, and when I’m at work between my sister in law or my lovely fiancé help with the afternoon and then I am home to do the night routine! Between the three of us there is almost always someone home. I have a fully fenced yard with more than enough space to get a little fetch in. We live very close to all sorts of walking trails and dog parks that we love adventuring. We love training and playing games with our pups and doing all sorts of running around the house as well.
About: I have owned and cared for cats my entire life and am comfortable with cats of all ages, from kittens to senior cats. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and needs their own level of attention, space, and care. I will make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away!
About: My lifelong passion for animals began on our family’s organic dairy farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin, where I learned the dedication required to care for animals of all sizes. Over the years, we have opened our hearts and home to our friends' pets, gaining extensive hands-on experience with everything from energetic dogs to gentle bunnies. As a homeschool family, someone is almost always home to provide continuous love, attention, and structured care. We spend plenty of time outside so your pet will have lots of opportunities to exercise and spend time in the sun. Your pet will enjoy full access to our house and a large, securely fenced yard perfect for safe outdoor exploration. Located in a peaceful, dog-friendly neighborhood, we offer a warm, reliable, and attentive home-away-from-home where your pet will be treated like family.
About: I’ve had dogs and other animals for my entire life. I worked as a veterinary assistant for 7 years and completed a B.S. in animal science as well. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppy training to senior dog care. I am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, along with caring for pets with special needs. I do work full time Monday-Friday in the Stillwater, MN area, but I have flexible lunch time breaks to accommodate mid day walks or potty breaks! I offer daily check ins, walks, and house sitting for your furry friends. I like them to be as comfortable as possible in their own environment:)
About: I have spent my whole life with dogs, caring for our family dogs over the years and dog sitting for friends. I enjoy going on long walks and would love to have a buddy join me, big or small. I’m a graduate student and tend to be available either before 9am or after 5pm. I spend a good amount of time working from my apartment but sometimes have to unexpectedly run into the lab. I’m typically more free during the days on the weekend. I live in an apartment, and will not be able to host dogs here. the apartment is dog friendly so there is a chance i could bring a dog over temporarily, but not overnight. (though I wish i could!)

“Cassandra was wonderful ! Stella loved her. The photos Cassandra texted us are beautiful. She is a professional at photography. Awesome. We will be back ! Thank you !”
“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! ☺️❤️”

I have had 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own, 12 foster dogs (not at the same time!) and have cared for many animals through Rover. I offer drop-in and dog walk services in the Hudson/Stillwater area. I work remote and have plenty of flexibility and availability to help fill in when you want a little help caring for your fur family. No upcharges for holidays either! Whether in your home, in your yard, or out and about, the safety of you pet, and their needs are top priority. I have engaged in a variety of dog training courses with my own dog so have no problem maintaining the rules you have in place for you animal/s.
“Shelly was awesome. She was flexible when I had to change my dates. There was plenty of open space and other animals for Bear to play with. Shelly also was helping with our potty training since Bear is only three months old. I will use her again.”
About: I grew up on a farm and my parents were both veterinarians. I love animals and am even tempered. I’ve had a dog my whole life (except during college) and I know how important exercise & companionship are for our furry friends. I’m currently working part-time from home and have lots of time to play & go for walks with your pup. My availability is very flexible. My backyard is fully fenced and a great size. My home is in a central location with great access to walking trails and not too far from the highway.
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, elderly dogs & just about everything inbetween. Currently pet free & enjoy meeting new furry friends. Enjoy long walks & pampering pets. I’m newly retired & have time to spare. Pet care keeps me active & entertained. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality & teaching them new tricks. I live near a walking path that allows for long dog walks & lots of fresh air. I have pet sit in others’ homes for years & have references as needed. It’s whatever works best for your furry friends.
“Brianna has been such a huge blessing for our family and for our pup, Vince. He absolutely loves going to her house – her kids are so sweet with him and he’s become part of the little pack with her dogs. You can tell she really understands dogs and manages the energy in her home so everyone feels safe and included. I always feel confident dropping him off because I know he’s supervised, loved on, and genuinely having fun. We’re really thankful to have found someone we can trust with our boy during long work days and trips. Highly recommend Brianna if you want your dog to have a second home.”
About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets and have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs. My family has two dogs, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and care. I’m active, responsible, and will treat your pet like they’re my own! I am currently working part-time at home, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pup throughout the mornings or evenings as needed. I live in a house with a fenced in yard and also have a golden doodle dog to keep company. He is playful and energetic.
About: Dogs have been an important part of my life for many years. I currently own an 8-year-old Siberian Husky named Storm, so I have extensive experience caring for large, energetic dogs and understanding their exercise needs. We have a large, fully fenced private backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. My family provides a loving, structured home environment, and dogs receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day. We also have two young children, so we only accept dogs that are friendly, gentle, and comfortable around kids. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and at home while their owners are away. Pet care is already a consistent part of my daily routine. I am a stay-at-home mom to two children, so I am home throughout the day and able to provide attention, care, and supervision for pets. Each day, we go on at least one longer walk with our dog, in addition to shorter potty breaks and outdoor time as needed. These walks are a regular part of our schedule and help ensure our 8-year-old Siberian Husky gets the exercise and stimulation he needs. We also spend time in our large fenced-in backyard, which gives additional safe space for activity and play. Because I’m home during the day, I’m able to be flexible and responsive to a dog’s needs—whether that’s extra potty breaks, attention, or adjusting activity based on energy level or weather. Overall, pet care fits very naturally into our household rhythm and is already an important part of our daily family routine. We start the day with feeding, potty breaks, and a walk, and we typically do at least one longer walk each day to make sure our dog gets enough exercise and mental stimulation. Since we have an 8-year-old Siberian Husky, we’re very familiar with meeting the needs of high-energy dogs and making sure they stay active and engaged. Throughout the day, pets are part of our home environment. Because I am a stay-at-home mom to two young children, I’m home and available to provide regular supervision, attention, and outdoor breaks as needed. We also have a large fenced-in backyard, which allows for safe outdoor play and extra exercise time. In the evenings, we maintain a calm routine with another potty break, feeding, and time spent relaxing together as a family. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, well-exercised, and integrated into a structured but flexible household where they are treated like part of the family.
About: Hi! My name is Bri and I am a stay at home momma who can’t wait to have pawsome adventures with your pups! 😊🐶 I have experience in feeding, grooming, walking, administering medication, and ensuring a safe environment for dogs since childhood. This began with my family dogs, which taught me the importance of love and patience with our furry family members, and this mentality has continued into my adult life with my own pups! I am a stay at home momma so I have a lot of availability and flexibility all week long for boarding, daycare, check ins, etc.! I am available for pick up/drop offs between 7am-7pm I have a large yard with a friendly fur baby of my own to keep your pet company! I also have endless tough chewer toys to keep your pup’s tail wagging!
“I've been using Emily for over a year now and we just love her and Arlo, and Flynn. Everything still stands from my first review! Kota has the best time playing! Emily adds a special sprinkle of fun every day involving Kota and friends to all her tasks; as helpful as they can be.”
“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.”
“Luke is so committed to giving great care to your dog. He keeps them safe, hydrated, listens to your requests & helps them to get exercise & socialization in his fenced yard. Rachel will “love on” your pet too..He sincerely cares & will communicate well with owners.”

About: I love spending time with dogs and making sure they stay happy, active, and well cared for. Whether it's going on walks, playing fetch, getting plenty of exercise, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I enjoy keeping dogs engaged and comfortable while you're away. I'm dependable and will make sure your dog's basic needs are always met, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love. I understand how important it is to stick to their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I'll treat your dog like they're my own and will provide updates and photos so you can feel confident they're having a great time while you're away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I take my own dog on walks, make time for play and exercise, and ensure she has everything she needs each day. Adding more walks and spending time caring for other dogs fits naturally into my schedule because it's something I genuinely enjoy. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh water, meals if needed, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection.
About: The two loves of my life were my dog, Abby, and my dog Bronx. Abby was a Siberian husky and Bronx a 15” lemon beagle. Bronx was part of my life for 20 years and just recently passed. I honestly can’t imagine a life without animals in it, and one day I wanna be able to reflect back on my life, knowing that I did as much as I could to help as many animals as possible, which is why becoming a part of ROVER is so appealing. I have an incredibly flexible work schedule that will enable me to schedule my work hours around my hours caring for animals. I truly believe that animals are every bit as important as we are, and I think pet owners will be able to rest easy, leaving their pets in my care, knowing that their health and safety will be of the utmost importance to me! I have a two-story condo that they would be able to spend most of their time in with me. I also have a heated garage that I’ve converted into a safe and comfortable area for animals to play in. In addition to that, I live in Woodbury, literally surrounded by parks, full of walking paths that will be ideal for a dogs exercise. One thing I would like pet owners to know is that I’m not doing this for the money, I’m doing this because I’m newly single and alone and can’t think of anybody better to spend my time with than animals in need. I wouldn’t just be some dog watcher, I would be their friend that plays with them and loves being with them.

I am currently home from school for the summer so am looking to fill the time. I work part time as a server a few times a week. During the day I often just workout, read a book, or hang with my own dogs. I have fostered a dog before and can adjust well to your dogs needs. I’ve practiced crate training, furniture restrictions, and other small training tasks. My house has an open yard which my dogs are free to run around in when they are not on leash to go potty.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I've taken them through multiple levels of training including therapy dog training.

I genuinely care about making every dog feel happy, comfortable, and secure, and I will treat yours as if they were my own! I am currently a doctoral student studying Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine and my schedule allows me to provide pet care throughout the week. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I am on campus for part of the day, and Thursday through Monday I study from home, which gives me the availability to provide your pets with plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. I live in a house with my parents. The upstairs level is my dedicated living space, which includes a bedroom, bathroom, and a living room area. Your pet will spend their time in this space with me! My parents have a cat that lives downstairs. They will not be living in the same space. We live on 4 acres, providing ample outdoor space for play, exploration, and exercise. We are located on rural road, which is great for long walks. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions you provide.
About: I’ve had dogs and other animals for my entire life. I worked as a veterinary assistant for 7 years and completed a B.S. in animal science as well. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppy training to senior dog care. I am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, along with caring for pets with special needs. I do work full time Monday-Friday in the Stillwater, MN area, but I have flexible lunch time breaks to accommodate mid day walks or potty breaks! I offer daily check ins, walks, and house sitting for your furry friends. I like them to be as comfortable as possible in their own environment:)

“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!”
“Wow!! We had a boarding set up with another Rover family but unfortunately - it was not going to be a good fit. I quickly messaged Princesa - as this was the day we were to leave for the long memorial weekend - and she responded almost instantly! They were Incredibly flexible offering to meet for public pick up on our way out of town or bring her to their home based on our needs. Our pup had an AMAZING time and we were updated with pictures and texts daily. We were able to enjoy our holiday weekend with our minds at ease knowing our pup was well taken care of!!!! Thank you so much!!!! This was our first time using Rover and will definitely be boarding with them in the future!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”

“I can't say enough about Karen, from the meet n great through the entire stay. She was very thorough with details and communication. She welcomed my fur baby into her home and loved him like her own. She did an amazing job keeping him in his daily routine. This was the first time he has stayed with anyone other than family and I could not be happier. The daily updates and photos helped me enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands! I could tell with the photos that he was really loved and super happy. I look forward to booking more stays and highly recommend her and her family.”

“Suki's first time with Lisa could not have been better!

Suki seemed right at home and was a very happy pup when we picked her up. We look forward to working with Lisa again!”

“We had a fantastic experience with our sitter! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, sending regular updates and adorable pictures of our dogs that really put our minds at ease. Our pups were clearly happy and well cared for, and they loved playing in her spacious, fenced-in backyard with other friendly dogs. When we had to extend the stay unexpectedly due to weather, she was flexible and accommodating without hesitation. I felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs in her care, and it’s clear she genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend!”
