“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.”
“Dave was absolutely great with our dog and fabulous to work with! When we picked her up, we could tell she was in good hands and she really liked him. We will definitely book with Dave again!”
“Susan was fabulous with my Koda. She provided daily updates and pictures and Koda came home happy and tuckered out from all the fun. I would highly recommend Susan for your fur baby.”
“Daisy practically doesn’t want to come home with me after staying with Patti and Patrick! They’re in demand for a reason. I love when she stays with them because I know she’ll be well taken care of and have her own vacation while I’m out of town!”
“Thanks for taking care of Stella and Walter like they were your own. I feel so comfortable leaving them with you guys. They love playing in your back yard and chasing squirrels. You are our go to for taking care of our babies!!”
“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”
“Second time using Luke and Rachel. They are great with Daisy and seem like dog people. Daisy was well cared for, we got updates on how she was doing, they communicate well and pick up/drop off is easy. Will use again!”
“Ken was great! He hosted our two dogs, one of which has anxiety and requires a little extra care. Ken made sure that both dogs were comfortable and safe (and made sure they had fun as well!). Our flight was delayed and the dogs had to stay an extra night and Ken made sure to reassure us that everything was fine and the dogs were in good hands. Thanks for your flexibility, kindness, and understanding, Ken!”
“I’m really happy with my decision to trust Loraine with cat sitting. She loves cats and is very knowledgeable about them. She is super friendly and accommodating, and by the time I left after drop off I felt like my cats would feel very comfortable! She provided lots of updates and communication which meant a lot, and I know the cats were as happy and safe as possible in a new environment. I would recommend Lori!!!”
“Megan and Mike were fabulous caregivers to our pup! They sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. They gave her lots of love and cuddles and followed all our instructions for food, walks, etc. Highly recommend such a sweet family!”
“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!”
“Nathan did a great job with our Rosie. Rosie loved lounging with the kids, playing with the other dogs, and was even the center of a dance show. We received daily updates while we were gone, and came home to a happy exhausted girl.”
“we have only worked with one other rover and typically have family watch our little guy. Due to this, we were nervous to branch out and find someone new when we relocated to MSP. We did a meet and greet with Colleen and Joe and they were wonderful. Dezi immediately took to their great yard and house and they were both so kind and willing to answer any questions and put us at ease. Dezi also loved Nico and it was clear they would be great friends. Dezi just had his first overnight with them and they were very communicative and sent pictures and updates. We are already booked for another visit and are so thankful to have found Colleen, Joe, and Nico!”
“This was my first time using this app and I was a little skeptical but Amy was absolutely amazing to deal with and treated my dog like her own I would recommend her to anyone and will continue to use her service in the future.”
“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.”
“Shevon and Ian took excellent care of my poodle, Basca. They even set aside a request to watch another dog because it was her first time and she can get overwhelmed. And they understood about her being a flight risk. They sent me pictures and reports every day. In addition to all of this, they’re just as nice as they can be. I absolutely recommend them! -Tracy Wilson”
“Kelly and Jim were great hosts for Kap! They had great communication before and during Kaps boarding. Their home was safe, clean, and offered a huge back yard where Kap could run around with their friendly Golden Retriever. I know he was well taken care of! Thank you!”
“Such a wonderful experience booking with Betsy! She was so sweet with our sweet Roland and would send daily pictures and updates! So lucky to find someone we trust to take care of our fur baby and will definitely book in the future!”

“Jailene was fantastic with my dog Riley. She sent regular update, photos, and videos. He stayed over the 4th of July holiday, and Jailene had great questions beforehand to make sure he was comfortable.”

“Amanda was stellar! She spent quality time with our kitty Dezee. She worked hard to communicate with us so we knew he was eating, etc.; her photos of him playing and loving her petting were terrific. We’ll definitely request Amanda again as it appeared Dezee really enjoyed her.”

“Anna gave me constant updates and photos of my cats while I was away, and she was so helpful about returning my keys to me after I had a delayed night flight. The boys certainly appreciated her. Thanks, Anna!”

About: I have watched dogs and cats on overnight stays or drop-ins for neighbors and friends for the past 7 years. I take them on walks, feed, clean up and play with them.

“This was our first time using Rover, and Nathan made the experience seamless. He was wonderful about meeting our dog on our dog's own terms—gentle, approachable, and incredibly communicative. I really appreciated that he had a thoughtful plan to make our dog feel welcome in his home and comfortable around his other dog guests.”
“Fernanda took great care of our dog. He was a little anxious because he had been traveling for several weeks and in lots of new places. She noticed his anxiety, and took him out in her yard to play. Perfect. He even ate a meal with her without needing special feeding (which he’d been struggling to do in new surroundings). Fernanda was easy to work with and a great communicator. I’d definitely use Fernanda again next time we’re in town.”
“Luke & Aria (your sweet Doberman) thanks for providing a great afternoon for GiGi! I appreciate that they could play so well together in your fenced yard, that she had a lot of water and potty breaks and that you gave very good supervision. It was so nice to hear that you would love to take care of her again, to read your nice comments and that you provided cuddle time. You live in such a convenient location near a highway exit and other Rover clients could get a lot of errands done close to your home. We will call again.”
“Lizzy & her husband took GiGi for a fun hour long walk in the snow. They gave her a lot of attention and cuddles. They will be great caregivers for your pet.”
“Pamela was great! She welcomed a meeting before dog sitting, and asked care questions. Arlington played well with my dog, and they have a great fenced in backyard for running around!”
About: Introduction Hi! My name is Lori and I LOVE ALL ANIMALS! I am recently retired and I always said that when I had time, I'd spend my days helping animals, however possible. I am so excited to finally be in a place where I can make that happen! If you would help me get my new focus started, I'll offer you a $20 discount and I will treat your pet like family! I’m an experienced pet caregiver with over 40 years of hands-on time caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, and a genuine passion for ensuring pets feel happy and at home while their families are away. I have a special spot in my heart for senior dogs and cats but I also love puppies and kittens, and everything in between! I've cared for my own dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, and birds for over 40 years, so I understand the daily routines, quirks, and needs of all kinds of companions. I'm especially attuned to dogs and cats—I read their body language exceptionally well and know what they're "saying. "For example, a slow blink from a cat is their way of saying "I love you," while a soft "mee mee" often means "come here." With dogs, I always approach respectfully: letting them sniff my open palm first (never reaching over their head, as it can feel dominant), then gently petting the shoulder and down the side. Energy matters so much—staying calm, happy, and positive helps even anxious pets relax quickly. I have a whole "warehouse" of these insights from years of close observation, and I love using them to build trust and joy. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely excited to care for your pets as if they were my own. I'll play with them, give plenty of love and cuddles, follow your instructions to a T, and make sure they feel at home. Being away from your furry family is tough—I get it, and I'll do my best to keep things feeling normal and happy for them (and send you lots of updates and pictures so you can see for yourself!). I can provide most of the same loving care as other sitters—feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, toy fun, and house check-ins—but due to some mobility limits, I focus on shorter, gentle walks (up to about 15 minutes) or indoor/outdoor potty time and enrichment instead of longer neighborhood strolls. This works wonderfully for calmer dogs, seniors, smaller breeds, or cats who prefer cozy companionship. I'm happy to adapt to your pet's energy level and needs! I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! What I'll need from you Age, personality/behavior, feeding routine and amounts, typical daily schedule, house rules, any favorite toys/treats, if they can have people food, medical needs, and anything else that helps me care for them just the way you do. No strong breed preferences—I'm happy with all! Let's Get Started! Availability I'm generally flexible and can arrange visits to fit your pet's schedule—morning, midday, evening, and bedtime routines. I can do drop-in visits, overnight sitting (if selected), or daily check-ins to ensure they're fed, pottied, loved, and happy throughout the day. A typical day We'll start with feeding, fresh water, and a gentle potty break or short walk if your pet enjoys it. Then lots of playtime with toys, gentle petting and interaction based on their cues, maybe some training games or just relaxing together. I'll refill water as needed, clean up any messes, and give plenty of love and attention. Everything will be done with your preferences in mind, plus updates and photos for you!
About: Our family said goodbye to our 16 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Lou, and we are ready to open our home to our neighbor's pups for love and attention while you're away! Britt grew up with lots of dogs (and cats), and the whole family has experience caring for animals at all ages. Both Britt and Mike work from home full time, and are able to care for pets throughout the day and night. Our three children are in school and preschool in the neighborhood during the week, giving us several opportunities to go on daily walks. We have a large, fenced in backyard for dogs and our children to share. We do not require dogs to be crated at night or when we are away for short amounts of time. We do have a medium crate if their normal routine includes crating during short times alone at home. Our children are used to being around animals and know how to be gentle and respectful of space.
“This was our first time using Roover, and Rachel made the experience smooth and stress free. Our dog had a great day with her, and Rachel sent lots of updates and pictures!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and we currently have two Lab mixes, ages 13 and 8. Caring for our senior dog has also given me firsthand experience with the extra patience, attention and slower pace older pups sometimes need. We’re a dog-loving family of four with a large, fully fenced backyard and a dog-friendly neighborhood perfect for walks. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. After 16+ years in the corporate world, an unexpected career change gave me the opportunity to pursue something I’ve always dreamed about—working with dogs! I also have a degree in Operations Management, so reliability, organization and communication are second nature to me. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. My goal is to care for your pup like I would want someone to care for mine—with lots of attention, affection, playtime and updates for you along the way. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority throughout my day. I’m available for weekday walks and drop-ins, as well as daycare and overnight boarding. Being home gives me plenty of time for outdoor play, walks, potty breaks, snuggles and individual attention. I’m also available many weekends and holidays! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to safely run, play and explore, plus a dog-friendly neighborhood for walks. We have two Lab mixes of our own and will always make sure introductions are comfortable for everyone. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate time and any special instructions you provide. Dogs staying with us will be treated like part of the family, with plenty of attention, outdoor time and love. I’ll also send photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. 🐾
“Lindsey and her family were so great! They took care of my 5 month old puppy for the day and treated her so well. Gave her lots of play time and walks and sent many updates with pictures. 10/10 would recommend them to take care of your pup!”
“My dog had a fantastic day. He went on two walks, played with kids, met the neighbors and watched part of the day roll by on the porch. And when I picked him up, he absolutely crashed in the back seat. Paige and family are awesome!! Can’t wait to go back.”
“Our dog loves boarding with Pat and Pat. Today, we did the doggy day care — worked great. Our dog ran into their house when Pat opened the door - and now is sleeping like a baby, instead of coming home to a wound up dog who has been cooped up all day. 😊”
“As always, my dog had an amazing time with Kara and Adam! They are so sweet and she always is exhausted when she gets back to me. Her kids are so kind to Jovi and I always look forward to seeing all the pictures Kara and Adam take! Thanks again!”

“Five stars for sure! Amanda walked our dog a couple times a week for several months (until we moved to a far away suburb). She was so fabulous with our quirky, senior dog - he absolutely loved her. Don’t hesitate to book! Thanks Amanda!”
“Tyler will continue to be my go to dog walker when I need help getting my 2 dogs their daily exercise. My pups are spoiled with daily outings , and dog park trips - we usually average 6-8 miles per day but often hit 10-12 miles once or twice every week…. with Tyler, I have peace of mind and confidence that my dogs will get a walk and the type of exercise they are accustomed to. They always return content , satisfied and most importantly exhausted! Thanks again Tyler!”

“Robert was great to work with. He and Waffle got along really well. Robert took the time to do a meet and greet and visit before the first walk, even on a short notice.

I plan on continuing to work with him on an ongoing basis. I feel like Waffle is in good hands!”

About: *IMMEDIATE AVAILABILITY* --I offer short-term & extended stays, and daily drop-ins for cats and small dogs-- *20 years experience *Senior Cat Care, can administer oral meds via syringe [In process of earning Red Cross Pet First Aid/CPR certification] Cat owner since childhood, cat sitter since high school, and cat lover since birth. I have 20 years of experience caring for my own kitty companions along with pet and house-sitting for others. [DOGS: While I've primarily focused on those of the feline persuasion, I do have experience dog-sitting and can accommodate small dogs for drop-ins, walks, and extended stays.] I've coaxed food, detangled mats, successfully snuck oral syringes, clipped claws, combed out fleas, popped pills, decoded morose meows, wiped butts, and scooped a whole lot of poop. I am well-versed in the subtleties of cat body language and highly perceptive of any small changes that might indicate illness or distress. I have experience caring for elderly cats with health issues including gastrointestinal, kidney disease, frequent UTIs, and respitory changes. I also have experience caring for cats who love to munch on plastic bags, leap into open fridges, sneeze in my face, and choose scraps of paper and cardboard boxes over premium catnip mice and luxury cat sofas. I'm responsible and dependable with a clean background check and driving record, own reliable transportation, and currently have few commitments and a very open schedule so frankly I would love nothing more than to get your mail, water your plants, and cuddle your cats (or dogs!) Available for full day and overnight stays or daily drop-ins and will happily provide detailed updates and photos. [Now offering separate dog walking!] I look forward to getting to know your closest companions and honoring their unique needs, and I promise they will love every meow-ment with me! (And I have a feline I will too) **IMMEDIATE AVAILABILITY** I accept as little as one-day prior reservations so if you are scrambling last-minute, I can be your go-to gal for a couple days, or even a couple weeks! Extended stays are no problem. If I'm not staying overnight I prefer afternoon and evening drop-ins/walks but can accommodate mornings on a case-by-case basis Currently on the job hunt so please let me cuddle your fur babies and water your plants instead of working on my resume I will always be respectful of your space and your pet's needs. I am a non-smoker, won't raid your fridge, or ever bring another person into your home. For extended stays I have no problem with special requests like bringing my own bedding, avoiding using your fancy espresso maker, or not messing up your netflix algorithm--this is YOUR space and I don't judge boundaries. I will always find and check on your pet as soon as I arrive and right before I leave, and I'll double-check that every door and window is shut and locked. I'm willing to water plants, get mail, and I won't miss garbage day--also open to discussing additional housekeeping needs. I strive to leave your space clean and tidy so upon your arrival home the only thing you'll need to focus on is reuniting with your best furr-iend.
About: My husband and our family have been watching dogs on Rover since before it was even called Rover. We've lived overseas a few times so if you see gaps in our reviews, that is why. We are very active with our doggie guests and would love to host your dog. We typically go on walks once a day and on weekends typically try to be outside more (as the winter weather permits). We're open to requests to take your pup to dog parks, bike rides, or walks depending on your pup's preferences. Note: you will typically see delayed responses past 9PM but will get back to you as soon as I see your messages. Thanks! Both my husband and I work full time M-F but I work from home and would be able to take bathroom breaks or walks mid-day. If you needed someone to stop by and let your dog out, it would have to be within the Columbia Heights, Fridley, Shoreview area. We have a fenced in yard in the back that we take out the dogs to hang, throw a ball, or relax. Inside the house we leave it open range as long as your pup can handle no accidents, no chewing the kids' stuffies (it's hard I know!), etc. When we are gone, we do like to crate our visitors so they don't get into mischief while we are gone.
About: Hello fellow pet lovers! My sweet girl Sophie passed away this year after 14 loving years together. While I’m not quite ready for a new pup of my own a certainly miss caring for dogs. Maybe I can help you out there! I am a pet parent to all critters under the sun! I have extensive experience with dogs from young pup to seniors with medical needs including all sorts of breeds, large and small. I’m very active and happy to take your high energy pup for long walks (or even runs!) or just cuddle up with your couch potato. I also have extensive personal experience with cats. I have two kittens and have cat sat for friends and neighbors since I was in middle school. No matter how velcro-y or aloof your babies are Id love to keep them happy and healthy. Beyond dogs and cats I have owned (or cared for extensively) birds (cockatiels), reptiles and amphibians (bearded dragons & painted turtles), pocket pets (hamsters, guinea pigs & rabbits), freshwater fish, and horses! My wide expanse of knowledge means even if I haven’t cared for your exact critter yet I’m confident I’ll be able to pick up any new information easily and will make sure they are well cared for. No critter will scare me away! PLEASE NOTE: At this time I am not looking for any new regularly repeating weekly drop ins/walks, so if you’re looking for a new daily walker I’m probably not your best choice, however if you need the odd occasional visit, a sitter while you’re out of town, a sub for the week, or something similar I’d be happy to help! I work from home which grants me a lot of flexibility during the morning and day for walks or drop ins. My evenings can get a bit busy but with enough notice I can absolutely work in further care as well. I’ll be sure to adhere strictly to any instructions you give me. I also will be sure to send updates and pet pics every time I visit and you’re welcome to text me at any point for an update. I’m an extremely clean and tidy person and will leave your home better than I found it.
About: I've cared for dogs and cats for over 20 years and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive, and I'll treat your dog with the same kindness and care I'd want for my own pet. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a slower pace, or extra encouragement, I'm happy to tailor each visit to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your best friend is doing. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I've chosen to dedicate my weekends to it. By limiting my availability to weekends, I can give each dog my full attention and provide dependable, unhurried care. I only accept bookings I know I can commit to, so every walk is reliable, personalized, and never rushed. When caring for your dog, I'll always follow your routine and preferences. Whether that means using a specific leash or harness, reinforcing good walking habits, or taking a favorite route, I'll make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own, making sure doors are secure, water bowls are refreshed if needed, and your pet is settled before I leave. After each visit, I'll send an update with photos so you know exactly how your dog's walk went.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 8 or 9, mostly family dogs to start. I have also house sat for not only family dogs but friends as well. I work at a doggie daycare facility currently, so I am familiar with dog behaviors and care. I currently work full-time in evenings, so that gives plenty of morning time for walks and cuddles. I am available for both boarding and daily care most of my week and always try to be flexible with clients. I love to have animals be as comfortable as they can be in their owners home, whatever that might look like. My goal is to make the clients and dogs as comfortable as possibly while building trust and good relationship.

“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.”
“Dave was absolutely great with our dog and fabulous to work with! When we picked her up, we could tell she was in good hands and she really liked him. We will definitely book with Dave again!”
“Daisy practically doesn’t want to come home with me after staying with Patti and Patrick! They’re in demand for a reason. I love when she stays with them because I know she’ll be well taken care of and have her own vacation while I’m out of town!”
“Thanks for taking care of Stella and Walter like they were your own. I feel so comfortable leaving them with you guys. They love playing in your back yard and chasing squirrels. You are our go to for taking care of our babies!!”
“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”
“Second time using Luke and Rachel. They are great with Daisy and seem like dog people. Daisy was well cared for, we got updates on how she was doing, they communicate well and pick up/drop off is easy. Will use again!”
“Ken was great! He hosted our two dogs, one of which has anxiety and requires a little extra care. Ken made sure that both dogs were comfortable and safe (and made sure they had fun as well!). Our flight was delayed and the dogs had to stay an extra night and Ken made sure to reassure us that everything was fine and the dogs were in good hands. Thanks for your flexibility, kindness, and understanding, Ken!”
“I’m really happy with my decision to trust Loraine with cat sitting. She loves cats and is very knowledgeable about them. She is super friendly and accommodating, and by the time I left after drop off I felt like my cats would feel very comfortable! She provided lots of updates and communication which meant a lot, and I know the cats were as happy and safe as possible in a new environment. I would recommend Lori!!!”
“Nathan did a great job with our Rosie. Rosie loved lounging with the kids, playing with the other dogs, and was even the center of a dance show. We received daily updates while we were gone, and came home to a happy exhausted girl.”
“This was my first time using this app and I was a little skeptical but Amy was absolutely amazing to deal with and treated my dog like her own I would recommend her to anyone and will continue to use her service in the future.”
“Shevon and Ian took excellent care of my poodle, Basca. They even set aside a request to watch another dog because it was her first time and she can get overwhelmed. And they understood about her being a flight risk. They sent me pictures and reports every day. In addition to all of this, they’re just as nice as they can be. I absolutely recommend them! -Tracy Wilson”
“Kelly and Jim were great hosts for Kap! They had great communication before and during Kaps boarding. Their home was safe, clean, and offered a huge back yard where Kap could run around with their friendly Golden Retriever. I know he was well taken care of! Thank you!”
“This was my first time working with Erin, and she is fantastic! Excellent communicator, quick with replies, and accommodating/transparent with any changes. Most of all my dog Madigan loved her time with Erin and her two dogs. Will definitely look forward to boarding with her again in the future!”

“Jessica was wonderful. My kiddos are exhausted. She was very flexible when we had travel issues getting back. I got daily photos and updates. We will definitely use Jessica again. Home and yard were perfect and they had a great playmate with Timber. Thank you,”
“Katie did such a wonderful job with Rocky! From the moment I dropped him off she was so kind to me and Rocky. I was a little nervous how he would be but as soon as I got a text the next morning that he was doing great! I didn't have to worry about him and could just enjoy getting married!!! She sent lots of cute photos and updates! I would recommend Katie to anyone!!! Thank you Katie!”
“We booked rather last minute and Kari was very accommodating with a quick meet and greet. She sent pictures every day, Willis looked very comfortable! After 10 days he came home clean and calm ++ for a Wheaton!! Definitely would use Kari again. This was our first time using rover.com”
“This was the 2nd time that Sexton my puggle has been with Dave. He greeted Sexton upon arrival and confirmed all items - including food details, walk details, etc. I believe my dog was happy and well taken care of in Dave's care.”
