“Amy did a lovely job taking care of my dog for 4 nights while I was out of town! This was my first experience using Rover and it was a great introduction. Amy was professional and easy to contact, and sent photos and updates daily. She has a great and professional setup and I knew my pup had lots of opportunities to socialize with the other dogs, sprint around, rest, lay in the sun, cuddle, and eat some treats. Amy was also very easily able to accommodate for my dog’s allergy to chicken and gave him some oral medication from our vet. Amy was a gem and we will definitely be back the next time I need a sitter :)”
“Brenda and Alvin were great sitters who treated our pup like their own. They took him on fun adventures and made sure his time away from us was a vacation for him too. We would highly recommend their services!”
“Great environment for Lucas! They are caring and always make sure Lucas is taken care of. Big thank you for working with my weird work schedule! Highly recommended!”
“We felt so good placing our two mini dachshunds with Maria. Maria sent us photos and videos of the girls and let us know how they were doing. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our girls were in good hands.”
“Dave is the best! Our Sam just loved him. He was extremely well cared for and honestly the peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands just can’t be beat. It’s hard to leave your dog when you need to be out of town and I can assure anyone reading this review that your dog will be very well loved if Dave is taking care of them.”
“Thank you for keeping Bennington again. David is friendly and easy to work with . Bennington seems to enjoy himself and come home tired after days of playing. Will definitely be using David again.”
“Buddy enjoyed his stay! Great fenced in yard to run and play with the other dogs. We appreciated getting pictures and updates while we were away. Buddy came home ready to nap after having so much fun! Will definitely stay again. Thank you! Carrie & Dan”
“Jennifer, Eric and their kids did a wonderful job sitting for Hiro. You could tell they are truly pet people and cared for our dog while we were away. They sent daily pics and took him on walks. Hiro can be quirky at times, but they did an amazing job playing and spending time with him. We would love to use them again in the future!”
“Andrew is so thoughtful, prepared, and caring! Our puppy always comes home so happy and fulfilled from his time staying with Andrew, who has also been very patient with our growing puppy who is still learning a lot. We also always appreciate the consistent check-ins and updates while we’re gone. Thank you Andrew!!”
“Wrenlee loved Jessica from the moment she met her. I felt so comfortable leaving her in such good hands. Wrenlee had a wonderful time & loved playing with Jessica’s dogs. I would high recommend her!!!”
“Patti and Patrick took excellent care of our dog. They took her for walks and even a few pup cups! They were friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. They provided many photos and updates during the stay. Our dog was welcomed into their home and we felt at ease knowing she was being so well cared for.”
“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.”
“We had a fantastic experience using Sophan to care for our older dog. Daily updates were sent to us and it appeared as though our pup was well taken care of! Good communication from Sophan and the accommodations worked well for our dog!”
“Nicole and her family are so kind and loving. They did such an amazing job watching Pepper when we were out of town. Nicole sent daily updates and photos, which were fun to see each day. I felt so comfortable knowing our pup was being well cared for and I was able to relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about her. Thank you so much, Nicole and family!!”
“Amazing family! They take such great care of Geno! They are always sending pictures & updates while Geno is with them! Highly recommend this wonderful family to care for your dog.”

“Crystal did a great job taking care of our cat! She went above and beyond to try to make our very shy kitty comfortable with her. Crystal also helped take in packages and mail while we were out and kept the cat food area tidy (no small feat with our messy eater) which was much appreciated. We'd love to book Crystal again the next time we take a trip!”
“Christy was amazing with our cats this past week!! She was so sweet and polite when we met her before our vacation, and you could tell how much she loves animals! She sent updates and pictures everyday which really helped us feel comfortable about being gone! I would absolutely use her and this service again!!”
“Tina is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of my two cats, who are so sweet but also high maintenance and she did so well! They both had accidents and she cleaned them, plus set up treats and puzzles for them which I appreciated so much. I am most definitely reaching out anytime I need a sitter, thank you Tina!”
“Rachel took care of our cat Olaf while we were out of town. Olaf usually hides with new visitors, but he immediately warmed up to Rachel! She did a great job communicating (updates, pictures, etc.) and followed the pet care plan perfectly. Couldn’t recommend her services more!”
“Amanda provided great in-home care visits for my cat Bernie. Her visits were on time and her care was complete. I would be glad to hire Amanda for any type of animal care.”
“Thank you Jenna for taking such good care of my little Bella! I have a lot of anxiety leaving her. But Jenna communicated with me daily on her well being and sent pictures!! I will be calling on Jenna again for sure.”
“Kevin has been taking care of my cats when I’m away for several years. He’s so good with them and so reliable and almost always available. I’m so happy to have him taking care of them when I need to be away.”
About: From dogs to cats (and even a bearded dragon), I've done it all. I understand how nerve racking it can be to leave your animal with someone you barely know so I'll do the following to make sure you can feel confident your pets are being well taken care of while you're away: - Multiple updates throughout the day confirming eating and bathroom habits - Pictures of the activities we've been up to - A detailed daily plan developed to make sure we never miss a beat with their normal routine Reach out so we can develop a plan that meets your needs! Im free for walks after work during week days which is typically around 5 PM (depending if I'm working from home or on-site). On Thursday and Friday, I have midday availability depending on travel distance - reach out and we can talk through details! I'm much more free on weekends so with notice I can make just about anything work! As an owner of a very large (German Shepard/Great Pyr mix) dog, I'm very familiar with the worries of a pet parent. I will treat your animal like my own and can handle even the largest of them (including pullers and reactive dogs).
“Pamela did a great job with my two cats! I got detailed updates every day which was really appreciated, and I had a worry free weekend knowing they were in good hands.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. I currently have 4 amazing dogs of my own, I foster and volunteer for a local rescue so I have worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments and needs. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, long walks, play time, or calm companionship, I’m here to give your dog all the care, love and attention they deserve while you are away. I believe in treating every dog like my own-with patience, kindness and fun. I provide regular updates and photos, so you'll never have to wonder how your dog is doing. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in, or an overnight stay, I'll make sure your pup is safe, comfortable, and happy. Let's set up a meet & greet-l'd love to meet you and your furry best friend! I currently work full time so am available any day after 3 to bring your pup for a walk, feed them or bring them to my house to play with my dogs. I can make any night work for overnight care. I live in a dog-loving home with a secure, dog-friendly environment. My own dogs are well-socialized and friendly, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I am also available to come to your home to take care of your dog if preferred.
“Breann has done a great job dropping in to take care of my cat while I was away. Her visit summaries are well detailed and she is very observant of cat behaviors. I highly recommend her!”
“Anna has been awesome in taking care of my demanding kitties while I was on my trip!! She has been extremely loving to them, even my super shy cat has came out of his shell for Anna. Anna made sure they have clean water, properly fed, treats, clean litter boxes, etc. during each visit. I couldn’t be happier knowing that my kitties are in loving hands while I was away. Thank you Anna!!”
“What a great person! Jenna was so attentive to the needs of my cats. It was great to know they were in good hands! One of my cats is very shy, but Jenna was able to coax her out of hiding and was soon able to spoil her with lots of love. Water bowl was kept filled and the cat box kept clean. Loved the priceless pictures she took of these fur babies! Great communicator, sweet personality. Hope we see Jenna again!”
“Christian was wonderful! I left my 8 month old kitten with Christian and his wife for 5 days/4 nights in between Christmas and NYE. I received daily updates and pictures (more when I was obnoxious and reached out myself), and communication was excellent. It was clear that Frankie had a wonderful time, and I will book again in a heartbeat! Thanks Christian!”

“Cassie watched my dog for about 2 months every day while I was at work after my dog needed some time to adjust to a new living situation. Cassie was wonderful, she left detailed reports of the day, and my dog really liked Cassie and her dogs. I would absolutely recommend Cassie!”
“Makaila was incredible with my pups, Meeko and Milo! I loved getting updates and pictures—it really made me feel at ease while I was away. You can tell she genuinely cares. I’ll definitely be booking again! Thanks Makaila!”
“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!”
“Shelby has some separation anxiety issues so I wasn't sure how things were going to go. I was amazed!!!! She jumped out of the car and went to David and into his house without looking back. When I picked her up 8.5 hours later she was happy and tired from playing with a husky and David's Australian Shepard. The next day she was whining to get into the car and go over. She jumped out and practically ran to the door. She loves David and her time over there. :)”
“Always takes excellent care of Loki. Dave really does it because he loves it, and that is really obvious in the way he treats Loki, and the way Loki reacts when he arrives at Dave's house (tail wagging and bursting with excitement).”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I care for every dog as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and at home. I have experience with a large, active German Shepherd and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. While I do have a resident dog, every pet's comfort and safety comes first. My home allows dogs to be separated when needed, and I'm happy to provide individual walks, feeding routines, and personalized attention so every dog has a positive experience. What sets me apart is my communication and attention to detail. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet's stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home where your pet is treated like family. I have a hybrid work schedule, which means I work from home several days each week and have flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care and prioritize keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether it's morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening cuddles, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience so your pet feels right at home. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get their energy out. I also have a friendly resident German Shepherd who enjoys other dogs, so guest dogs should be comfortable around larger breeds. That said, your pet's safety and comfort always come first. My home is set up so dogs can be separated if needed, and I always supervise introductions and interactions. I'm happy to provide individual walks, feed according to your dog's normal schedule, administer oral medications if needed, and accommodate crate routines if that's what your dog is used to. I will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. We have a toddler in our home (who has grown up with our dog and is respectful), so guest dogs should be comfortable around young children. Safety is my top priority, and I carefully supervise all interactions between pets and family members.
“Angela cared for our dog with 1 day notice for Dec. 23rd. Our dog was relaxed and happy and hesitant to leave! Coach is a sweetie too! It was only a couple hours but Angela sent photos so we could could relax and enjoy Holuday Glow. So very happy!!!”
“Amanda did an awesome job taking care of my husky, Kenji. He got plenty of exercise and he knocked out all night when I picked him up. Amanda was so nice she took Kenji on such short noticed. I would definitely recommend Amanda and use her services again!”
“I have no idea where to start with this review! Adam and Leang are such a wonderful couple and they were so good with Lilo. They sent me photos and videos to see how she was doing throughout the day which definitely made me feel at ease and you can definitely tell they love and care for their animals since they treated mine like their own. After our meet and greet Lilo was so excited to see her new friends the next day and passed out after her day was done. I will definitely be using them again!”
“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!”
“Melissa watched Rico on 6/13. Rico is shy and somewhat anxious. Melissa did a great job of making him feel comfortable outside before bringing him in to meet her other dogs. Melissa did a great job at providing me with up-to-date information. Rico had a great day at Melissas!”
“My doggy had an excellent time here. He came home exhausted and happy. I got a wonderful picture during my few hours away and a great review when I picked him up. Will definitely be using Nathan again. Thank you so much!”
“Terry and Samantha took great care of my puppy. They had her for 6 hours and were attentive to all the needs that a small puppy has. I felt very comfortable leaving Bettie with them and will definitely use them again.”
“Maureen is a very animal loving person. She sent a picture and a video. By the info she provided about Studly I knew he really liked her!!! Even when we dropped him off he made himself at home instead of his usual separation anxiety issue. We highly recommend Maureen and will definitely use her again!!!”

About: Pets are my life, I grew up with cats, dogs and even reptiles. I’ve been taking care of all types and sizes of pets my whole life they are my passion & love. I’m currently a stay-at-home pet mom so my schedule is widely available, I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your dogs and cats. I have years of hands-on experience caring for animals in various settings, and I have a helper for group dog walking free of charge.
About: I love dogs, no matter the size, age, or breed, I am determined to be your dogs new best friend! I've been dog sitting for a few years now, originally just within my neighborhood, I started Rover as a summer job last year, but I fell in love with it and decided to continue. I've always loved animals, so getting to spend time with your beloved pets is such a privilege! I am currently a college student, but I do online classes so the majority of my time is devoted to dogs. I am committed to providing personalized, and loving care around the clock. While your pets are here, I try to maintain their home schedules as much as possible, for example, if they eat at a certain time At home, that's the time they'll eat here. I've noticed that it helps ease the transition between my home and yours. To them, my home is just an extension of their home. I also have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and dogs who may be recovering from illnesses or surgeries. I can administer oral or topical medications and provide cpr if it were ever necessary. If your dog has specific or specialized needs, please let me know and I will ensure I work with you and them to provide the best care possible. My schedule completely revolves around the dogs. I am a college student, so occasionally school endeavors can interfere with pick-up or drop-off times, but for the most part, I can fully adjust my schedule to the needs of you and your dog. You are always free to adjust pick-up and drop-off times with no extra charge, just send me a message and we'll work out the best time for you. I do not charge in situations such as a missed flight, illness, or other unforseen circumstances that may require your dog to be in my care for a little longer. My main goal is to always treat your dogs like my own! Everyday I ensure your dogs are loved, and I try to spend as much time with them as possible. I have a large fenced in yard where your dog can run and play, I try to spend as much time outside as possible. If your dog is social, my dogs love to play and socialize with yours. I have a Golden Retriever and a Havapoo, they're both neutered and very friendly. Rex my golden is very gentle and plays well with smaller dogs. If your dogs prefer to be on their own, I can do staggered outside time and keep them completely separate, no problem! Feedings always take place in kennels or separate rooms, so dogs are always separated for that.
About: I have experience working with all kinds of animals! I have a tortoise, four ducks, and three dogs at home. I’ve had many other animals in the past! I’m currently working part-time split shifts at an elementary school. Because of this, I’ll have time to stop by multiple times a day, as much as needed! I’m able to provide whatever you will need for me to best take care of your pets! I’m able to do multiple drop in visits during the day

About: I have many years of loving dogs. I am extremely patient. I believe every dog is unique and they all have a story to tell. I am retired and able to give 24/7 care. I was a licensed CNA for years. I walk every day. I am an advid reader. I also work puzzles and knit. I like my gardens also.i can sit inside or out with your dog. I am very responsible. Although I have a fenced yard I would never leave your precious pet alone. I have nothing in the reach of your fur baby that could cause harm to any animal.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I currently have both a dog and a cat, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I spent the last five years fostering dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to older dogs and those needing extra patience or structure, I've gained experience helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply a calm companion while you're away, I'll provide dependable, attentive care and treat them like one of my own. As a teacher, I have a very flexible schedule during the summer, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. This flexibility means I can provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and stick to your pet's normal routine. During the school year, I'm still available for evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. In my home, I have a friendly dog, a cat who will most likely just keep his distance, and an almost 4-year-old daughter who has been around animals her entire life. She has learned to be gentle and respectful with pets, and all interactions are always supervised. While I don't have a fenced yard, that means my own dog is accustomed to multiple leashed walks and outdoor breaks throughout the day. If your dog stays with me, they'll receive the same regular exercise, attention, and supervised time outside. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or plenty of companionship, I'll treat your pet like one of my own.
“Stefan did an outstanding job with Zeus! He gave him a fast paced long walk which gave Zeus a great workout! I would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone.”
About: Countless friends and family have asked me to watch their pets while they're out of town especially last minute. I respect and care about each pet, trying to make them as happy and comfortable as possible. I work remotely a few days per week and available on weekends. Schedule can be flexible depending on service. Also tend to be available on holidays. When I visit a client's home, I keep it the same as when I came in. I respect and keep their home clean and try to have the pets as comfortable as possible.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I am very active so you can expect frequent walks. I have a 5 year old dog who is very friendly I have full availability for dog walking, I’m home house sitting, and drop in visits if you are away. I love all types of dogs. I am very friendly with all types and sized dogs. I always have treats at the ready and toys with me for a great time. I take long walks regularly and would love for your dog to come with me!
About: Hi! My name is Ashlie, I live in Brooklyn Park, MN. I live right across from the Coon Rapids Dam, so there are miles of walking trails right outside my door and a brand new dog park just a block away. I have dog sat often for a variety of dogs for about ten years now. I have a 12 year old westie named Merlin. We love hiking and going to dog parks and breweries together. He’s a very social dog and used to being around other dogs. If you need a dog sitter, I can take your dog on several walks and to various parks each day, they will come home tired and happy! Your dog is welcome to stay in my home or we can stay in your home if preferred. I can't wait to meet your furry friend!! Thank you for considering me! Currently I have a lot of availability. Please message me with the dates you need a sitter. I am currently available all week and during spring break. Please let me know if you’re comfortable with me bringing my dog to your house. He does well with other pets and mostly keeps to himself.
“I'm happy to have chosen Joseph to walk my Husky, Maya! He would always show up for our designated time and day to walk Maya, no matter how cold it was. which I really appreciate. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to walk their dog as I always knew she was in good hands. Thank you Joseph!”
About: Hi! My name is Abby and I would love to be your pet sitter! I’d love to meet you and your pet after we chat and get some details squared away. I am located in Fridley! I have experience working with a range of animals by running a Guinea pig foster-based rescue, experience at a doggy daycare, a veterinary hospital as a kennel assistant- caring for boarding, grooming, and surgery pets. I have experience as a technician assistant/receptionist at North Branch Vet. This not only involves working with clients, but understanding patients needs. I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chickens, hamsters, and lots of other companion animals. I genuinely enjoy caring for any type of pet, and I love learning new things, so don’t be afraid to ask me to care for a unique type of pet! I am good at reading challenging dogs’ language, and I am also good with dogs that get anxious easily. I can care for dogs ranging in age, although puppy care does require a bit of extra effort. I am more than happy to do activity as simple as give your pet company while they relax with potty breaks. I also love to do activities and have fun with animals, like my own Australian Shepard, Winnie, Great Dane, Reuben, my maine coon, Juneau, Manx, named “Turkey” and my multiple guinea pigs. Although cats are a much different species than dogs, I have just as much intuition and experience caring for them as well. Having two of my own, I know how much their personalities can range, and I am accustomed to being flexible with their personal needs. If your dog is friendly to other dogs, I would love to bring my own Great Dane along to overnight bookings to play and be friends with your dog! I’m excited to get to know you and your pet, please request me anytime! Your booking is priority one, and is always completed before other work is done. If you are requesting house sitting, I’ll be with your pet until I have to leave to briefly care for my own pets. If your dog is well behaved, I would have no problem bringing them along with me when I run around town. If you are requesting drop in visits or dog walking, I will be able to attend your home whenever you book me. I’m available throughout the day, up until 10pm. I will be sure your pet is always in sight when going outside, or always on a leash if you do not have a fenced yard. I will take precautions to make sure your animals do not escape when I am entering or exiting the house by being aware of their presence when opening or shutting doors, or making sure to block their potential exits when I am entering or exiting. I will be sure to secure any cages, kennels or enclosures, along with your residence when I leave for any reason, assuring neither your pet will be safe while alone while also not getting into mischief.
About: **Holiday availability!** Hey there! I am a loving cat owner of a two-year-old Siamese named Fiona and a thirteen-year-old tuxedo cat named Mira. I want to provide great care for your pets, too, and offer you peace of mind that they are in good hands while you’re away! I have owned and cared for animals for my entire life, so I am used to their behaviors and habits (especially cats!). I am experienced in giving oral medications such as pills and liquids (cats only) and I respect owners’ wishes for how their pets are cared for. I usually go out of my way to make sure that everything is clean and tidy before I leave and that the animals are happy and safe. I have had experience managing a cat café in which I cared for over twenty cats and have also volunteered at Feline Rescue, a no-kill shelter in Saint Paul. I know how important pets are to their owners and I take extra special care to give them comfort and extra love while their owners are away! I recently graduated with a diploma in addiction counseling, so am actively job-hunting! Pet sitting gives me purpose when I don’t have an everyday job to go to. When I am working, my schedule changes, but for right now, my availability is open! Trust and safety are of utmost importance to me. Your pet’s health and well-being are a priority to me and you can be assured that I will do anything necessary to ensure your peace of mind! I have experience administering oral (pills and liquid) and topical medications, handling emergency health situations, and trimming cat nails if necessary. A clean environment is very important to me and also important for pets, so I always make sure that I leave the environment cleaner than when I came.
“Hana is a wonderful dog walker, She is punctual and professional, texting to say that she is on her way. She is friendly and very considerate. And she has a wonderful rapport with our old dog, who is shy and not very friendly. Our dog look forward to walks with Hana, and walks further with her than she does with other dog walkers. I can't say enough good things about her.”
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: I’ve taken in many animals in need and got them supplies and environments they needed. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, bearded dragons, sugar gliders, turtles, and snakes in my past. I currently have two cats and one dog. I work from home so I can make some times others can’t due to working out of the home. I’m not always busy on the weekends and can help take care of your fur/non fur babies. Water, walks, bathroom needs, feeding, and some medicine applications. I like to give lots of cuddles to animas who want it and I typically leave shy animas alone unless I am approached. Always start with hand sniffs before applying pets.

“Amy did a lovely job taking care of my dog for 4 nights while I was out of town! This was my first experience using Rover and it was a great introduction. Amy was professional and easy to contact, and sent photos and updates daily. She has a great and professional setup and I knew my pup had lots of opportunities to socialize with the other dogs, sprint around, rest, lay in the sun, cuddle, and eat some treats. Amy was also very easily able to accommodate for my dog’s allergy to chicken and gave him some oral medication from our vet. Amy was a gem and we will definitely be back the next time I need a sitter :)”
“Brenda and Alvin were great sitters who treated our pup like their own. They took him on fun adventures and made sure his time away from us was a vacation for him too. We would highly recommend their services!”

“Dave is the best! Our Sam just loved him. He was extremely well cared for and honestly the peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands just can’t be beat.
