“So glad we found such a great family to care for our 2 year old cockapoo, Brody! We were nervous because we had never left our dog overnight with anyone, but from the first meet and greet, to his "practice" day, thru his 4+ day stay, we felt totally comfortable, got great updates and pictures, and Brody was obviously well cared for and happy! We will definitely use again!”

About: Hi, I’m Autumn! While I’m new to Rover, I am not new to dogs! Animals have been a huge part of my entire life! At 16, I started working as a kennel assistant at a veterinary clinic. I went on to receive my degree in veterinary technology and dedicated almost 10 years as a tech. Now, I’d love to continue caring for pets beyond the clinic! My husband and I own a 1/2 acre of acre of land in Forest Lake. We have one dog, a senior Shih Tzu named Nala! For the safety of all dogs, I do require they are comfortable being kenneled during times I am away or sleeping. Otherwise, they are free to follow me around the house or even nap on the couch! Caring for animals is my top priority, so I have the flexibility to be home with all pets for the majority of the day, every day! In our home, pets are family! We offer a large lawn to allow your pets plenty of room to exercise. Plenty of snuggles and playtime will be offered along with daily walks as requested/weather permitting. Crating is utilized for safety when pets are not directly supervised (home alone or bedtime). Any other needs? No problem! I know each and every pet has their own unique preferences and needs.
“Kathryn was extremely nice and easy to work with. She responded promptly and was very accommodating. Loki had a great time with her, and we would definitely feel comfortable leaving him with her again.”

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have had both cats and dogs since I was a little girl. Caring for pets has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love being around animals of all kinds. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily care, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving pets the attention and love they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible and reliable schedule that allows me to provide consistent pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I am able to accommodate regular visits, overnight care, and extended stays when needed. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I prioritize dependability and clear communication to ensure each pet receives steady, attentive care while you’re away. I provide calm, attentive care in either my client’s home or my own, always prioritizing each pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. I create a low-stress environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed, following their normal feeding schedules, exercise needs, litter box or habitat care, and any specific instructions provided. I take time to build trust at the pet’s pace, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I pay close attention to their behavior and wellbeing. Communication with pet owners is consistent so you always feel informed and confident your pet is being well cared for.
“Anna is fabulous! We have a new puppy and she has watched him all week for us while we are at work! She makes sure he gets playtime with her dogs and naps in too! She sends lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, which we love! She has done great with helping his potty training and keeping us informed with his rover card each day!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Another fun daycare day for my puppy at Michelle’s. After playing with the other puppy’s and running the acreage he is all tuckered out. Thank you Michelle!!”
About: I’m blessed to be able to work from home to provide your pup the attention they need. Your pup will have two daily walks, playtime in the fenced backyard, a box of indoor toys with two dog beds and a kennel bed to choose from. My pup Gus recently passed so, I’m looking to share my love, cuddles, energy and basically spoil your pup. I used Roover for my pup so I know how important receiving multiple daily photos and videos are so you know your pet is safe and having fun. If your pet requires, I offer baths, brushing, trimming, administering medications, and hygiene needs. I was particular with my pups care and I can do the same for you, consistently is important to you and your pup. I’m excited to provide care to your pup’s needs until you return home. Since I work from home, it’s easy to provide the personalized care your pet needs. I’m willing to customize my schedule for your pet needs. Your pets safety is my priority. I provide leashed walks, and/or play time in the backyard. I’m able to customize a plan that best fits your dog’s needs.
“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. 😊”
About: I was raised by my father who was a professional dog trainer my entire life. I have always had a minimum of two dogs in my home since I was born.

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: I’ve had pets in my life since I was a child. When married and had kids, we’ve always had dogs and have cared for our dogs in every aspect, walking, bathing, grooming, vet care, etc. Currently we don’t have a pet, but our house is a perfect set up to take care of yours. Currently we are retired. We would have plenty of time to go for walks, play and relax. Our dogs in the past have used our very convenient doggy door into a fenced area for potty breaks. Your dog will be treated like one of our own, getting lots of love and attention during the day and can sleep overnight in a doggy bed or crate whichever is preferred.
“Cate and Tim and Ainsley were great to Murphy and their place was a perfect playground. Murphy came home happy and tired. It was our first Rover and she had no stress. Highly recommend them!”
“Ellen’s wonderful my puppy got to meet her daughter,son,and their dog ❤️🐾. She took really great care of my puppy Vince for the day. I highly recommend her. I had a wonderful first day of work knowing that my puppy was in the best care for the day.”

About: My family has had dogs most of my life, and I had my first cat as a young adult. My animal approach starts with your family’s structure, and my enthusiasm for considerate and trustworthy pet care.

I have had an indoor cat since he was a young kitten, and currently live with 3 adult cats that I’ve known as grown kitties. I have ample availability to prioritize your pets thanks to a flexible schedule. You don’t need to choose between career ambition and companion care, let me help your household thrive so you can grind without guilt! I’ve had experience with crating and free roaming for my dogs in the past, (My pups have since crossed over the rainbow bridge) and am open to what your home expectations are. The cats I live with now are accustomed to a routine schedule of feeding and interaction at their leisure, with snacks and playtime too.

About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional experience and a lifetime of hands-on pet care. I spent over three years working in a dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also worked as a pet store manager, which gave me valuable experience with animal behavior, care, and overall pet wellness. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior needing extra attention, I provide patient, personalized care tailored to them. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home most days, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day.

I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any other specific care requests. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and mental stimulation based on their individual needs and personality.

“Emily was incredibly patient and caring for my two dogs. My boy can be a bit fussy and my girl is terminally ill. Emily always checked in and made sure that my requests were met and went above and beyond to make sure my little girl was ok. It was a great relief to have her help while I also had an extra dog in the house and to know the dogs were getting exercise and extra attention.”

“So glad we found such a great family to care for our 2 year old cockapoo, Brody! We were nervous because we had never left our dog overnight with anyone, but from the first meet and greet, to his "practice" day, thru his 4+ day stay, we felt totally comfortable, got great updates and pictures, and Brody was obviously well cared for and happy! We will definitely use again!”
“Tammy and John were wonderful with Luna, adapting to her personality and making her feel safe and loved. She received plenty of play time and was spoiled with affection. I received updates and pictures regularly. I would not hesitate to book with Tammy again!”
“We have used Elizabeth and Erik multiple times now! They treat our dog like their own and he always comes home worn out from all the great playing and attention they offer him!”
“Mark and Marie left us daily updates on our big sweet dog.. Marie gave her extra snuggles and cuddles and took her for walks. She seems very calm and happy with them . We were relived as we don’t leave her often ! Would recommend mark and Marie to care for your loved fur baby!”
“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”
“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.”
“Talishia was amazing. She was flexible, had GREAT communication, and took great care of the dogs. Sending them to her made for an easy stress free weekend and wasn’t an issue of finding care like it typically is.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Lisa was amazing!! She was quick to respond to any questions I had and sent pictures and updates during Daisy's stay. I will for sure reach out to Lisa again!!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Grizzly. He came home happy and tired. We loved receiving all of the updates and photos. We will definitely be reaching out the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“We love having Michelle watch our dog while we are out of town because she has wonderful (and prompt) communication and my dog is very comfortable around her. She takes him for walks and helps him feel at home.”
“Jackie was so great! Our dog, Josie, stayed with her and her family for two nights. Her two dogs played well with her as well as her sweet kids. She gave timely updates and sent photos to assure us everything was going well. Josie had a wonderful time and I’d highly recommend Jackie!”
“Jennifer was an absolute lifesaver for us and an incredible dog sitter. She sent daily photo updates and detailed messages about our baby girl Reeba, which put my mind completely at ease. It's clear she has a genuine love for animals. It was such a comfort also to know Reeba was calm, and she even got extra playtime and snuggles with the kids. Reeba seemed completely relaxed and happy in the pictures Jen sent. We can't recommend Jennifer and her family enough , we will definitely be booking with her again for our future trips!”
“Alexandra did a wonderful job. Very responsive to text messages and provided daily updates. Her residence has plenty of space for dogs to run and have fun. Definitely going to book with her next time we need a sitter. I felt very comfortable that our dog was in good hands.”
About: Hi, I’m Autumn! While I’m new to Rover, I am not new to dogs! Animals have been a huge part of my entire life! At 16, I started working as a kennel assistant at a veterinary clinic. I went on to receive my degree in veterinary technology and dedicated almost 10 years as a tech. Now, I’d love to continue caring for pets beyond the clinic! My husband and I own a 1/2 acre of acre of land in Forest Lake. We have one dog, a senior Shih Tzu named Nala! For the safety of all dogs, I do require they are comfortable being kenneled during times I am away or sleeping. Otherwise, they are free to follow me around the house or even nap on the couch! Caring for animals is my top priority, so I have the flexibility to be home with all pets for the majority of the day, every day! In our home, pets are family! We offer a large lawn to allow your pets plenty of room to exercise. Plenty of snuggles and playtime will be offered along with daily walks as requested/weather permitting. Crating is utilized for safety when pets are not directly supervised (home alone or bedtime). Any other needs? No problem! I know each and every pet has their own unique preferences and needs.
“Kathryn was extremely nice and easy to work with. She responded promptly and was very accommodating. Loki had a great time with her, and we would definitely feel comfortable leaving him with her again.”
“I knew it would be a good fit right from our initial meeting. LOLA felt very comfortable with Amy and played with a couple of other small dogs whom she happened to be watching at the time. Being an only dog at our house, Lola loved the opportunity for socializing. When I picked her up, she greeted me, but then continued roaming in Amy's house and stretching out on the kitchen floor. I am so grateful for Amy and her daughter, Lola was very comfortable and well cared for. I highly recommend Amy, she will treat your pet as her own. Thanks Amy...will definitely rebook when the need arises. :)”
“Dave is a very kind and communicative sitter. It was clear that Dave is a dog lover and I was happy knowing that my dog was going to get loads of attention. Dave sent updates and pictures which was highly appreciated and I could tell that my dog was comfortable in the home and was very fond Dave.”
“Brenda & Alvin M. were great. We have always boarded Remy in the past but she seems to get very stressed. She likes a lot of attention and cuddles. We appreciated the pictures and updates daily. Remy seemed very comfortable with them. We would definitely use them again.”
“Luke and Rachel took great care of Tychus and Arya was great host as well. 100% recommend them. In particular I appreciated their practiced care at introducing dogs to each other and ability to manage play time!”
