She sent lots of cute photos and updates! I would recommend Katie to anyone!!! Thank you Katie!”

“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!”
“Russell and Linda are so kind and caring! They have taken the time to get to know my guy Otto and understand his quirks and personality. This shows me they really pay attention to him while he’s there! Otto is always excited when he sees their house come into view which is all the proof I need. Thanks Russell and Linda!”

“Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.”

“My dog was well cared for - even pampered by being allowed to sleep on the humans' bed. She came home happy and a little tired after a weekend with Danielle's 2 much younger, more active, but very gentle dogs. Danielle has a very large, secure yard for the dogs to play in and explore. Between the outdoor space and the young dogs to play with, Flicka got lots of good exercise.”

“Monika and her pet family were wonderful with my two dogs. My dogs got along well with her pets and loved the large, fenced back yard. My older dog is deaf and has some GI issues requiring medication which Monika took care of for me. The pictures she sent on a daily basis showed how happy they were and cared for. They stayed for a week and loved every minute with her family.”

“Leann was our first experience with a pet sitter from Rover. She showed up every day right on schedule, made sure they had their food, water, and medicine, They also got some play time and human companionship. Leann even got one of the best photos of one of our cats who is notoriously difficult to photograph. We'd book her again.”
“They were wonderful with our 3 cats. They sent pictures and updates frequently and kept our minds at ease! We had them pick up and drop off our cats, as well, and they were on time and took a lot of care to make sure transit was as smooth as possible.”
“We were so happy with the care our three cats - George, Harold, and Pete - received. It can be a challenge to manage a multi-cat household, but everything was handled perfectly. Rylan was reliable, attentive to their different personalities, and kept us updated the entire time. We will definitely book again!”
“My cat Abner absolutely adores Julie. He has a great time playing with her and looks forward to her visits. I know because my neighbors have seen how she interacts with and takes care of my cat. She is simply the very best.”
“Nicole did a great job with my cat Millie. They were together for six days and Millie spent some time with other cats and the dog for the first time and she seemed to get along very well. Plus, Nicole, even trimmed Millie’s nails, which I cannot do myself.”
“Grace is an amazing pet sitter. She has a calm, go-with-the-flow energy and was really great with my cats. I was anxious about leaving them, as this was my first trip since they both started medication. Grace provided me with a lot of reassurance and sent me pictures and updates of my cats throughout my trip. I will 100% be booking with Grace again.”
“anyone that comes in and sits on your kitchen floor to get to know your dog has their best interest at heart!!! I'm so excited to have Abby and Marcus help us in giving Bocce the attention and breaks he deserves!”
“Allene was amazing to work with! My normally-skittish kitty just loved her and she went the extra mile to hunt for my younger cat, who decided to find new hiding spots that I didn’t even know about! I will definitely be booking Allene again in the future!”
About: I’ve owned cats for all my life. I currently have two male cats, Sam and Castiel (Cass). Sam is my cautious boy who thinks he’s invisible if he closes his eyes when he tries to steal something, and Cass is my fat man who has a lot to say. I have given medications in both pill and liquid format and am very familiar with topical meds like flea and tick preventative. I also help with my sister’s elderly cat (20 years old!) in giving him his insulin. I even have experience giving subcutaneous IV treatments to cats. If your kitty needs extra medical attention, I’ve got that covered. I love cats so much, from playing with them to cuddling on the couch, you can trust me with your kitty’s well-being. I am also very good with spicier kitties who need extra time and space and I can guarantee they will wind up loving me. I’m so honored to take care of your kitties and as a pet owner myself, I know just how important it is to feel safe with the person watching your fur babies while you can’t.
“This was the first time Jeffery took care of our cat, Nora. He did a great job! I appreciated the photos and report on how she was doing. I am a bit of a worrier and felt very at ease with his communication and updates. I’d highly recommend.”
“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! 🐾”
“Helen was so sweet from the moment we met, and very on top of things. She not only took great care of our five cats, but also my many plants. The cats took to her instantly and we were able to vacation without any worries because Helen frequently updated us and sent us pictures all the time.”
“Sierra was a great cat sitter for us over a long weekend. She dropped in when requested, fed and checked in on our cats, and maintained great communication during our vacation. She was quick to respond and gave a bit of extra attention to our senior cat. We would highly recommend her and book with her again!”
“Meredith did a great job with our senior dogs. One of our dogs requires twice daily injections. She was very thorough and took the time to understand the best method for delivering the medication.”
“Rachel was a fantastic kitty sitter. She was able to take my little kitten into her home for 5 nights with short notice and I was so thankful. My little kitten was happy and healthy when I picked him up. If I ever need a pet sitter again I will definitely contact Rachel first!”

“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.”
“Russell and Linda took our dog on short notice. They were a big help. They have a lovely fenced yard and safe protocols in place. He was happy and safe when we picked him up.”
“Emily is excellent! she is very responsive to any questions and accommodating to the needs of your dog and matching those with the needs of any dog staying at the same time. Our pup had a great time staying with her and we’re excited to have a great and trustworthy sitter in our area.”
“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.”
“I am watching my rescue dog, a 15 years old, become more open and friendlier with other dogs in the neighborhood, along with just being less scared of people in general. Love the service I have been receiving.”
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. 🐾
“Rachel did a great job with our dog! She was very responsive and flexible. Daisy was so excited to see her on our second visit and gave her tons of kisses. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Allie and I've spent most of my life loving and caring for pets in multiple different environments over the years. I grew up with a bushel of miniature schnauzers, a few rodents and a snake. In college I took in a feral barn kitten and made her the talk of the university! After college, I spent 5-6 years working in a dog daycare facility which gave me experience with all different breeds and an immense amount of knowledge on behavior. After doggy daycare I moved on to working in a veterinary hospital which was an incredible resource and opportunity for me to increase me knowledge on medications as well as other medical knowledge. I would love to have the opportunity to spoil your pet as well as give you a safe space to leave your furry friend! Over the summer I am out of work and home with my pups and kids. In late August I will be headed back to work at a school nearby but working relatively short hours. We love to go on walks, to the dog park, the human park or just lounge in the back yard. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a large back yard. It is not fenced in but I do have a long line. I have a 12 year old pup who is a calm, unbothered queen and a year old pup who loves everyone and everything. In addition, I have 2 kiddos that are incredibly respectful of other pets space and will love your pets as much as their own however they can be crated if needed 😉
“Connie was great! After meeting her, we felt confident that she was the right fit for our puppy. She clearly loves dogs. She has a fully fenced yard and will even groom your fur baby! Will definitely book again.”
“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. 😊”
“Zeek has been my go-to sitter this summer! Great communication and will treat your dog like they’re one of his own! I of course recommend him to anyone and highly suggest using his services!”
“Our timid (and somewhat anxious) Wilbur had a wonderful afternoon with Phillip. They went for a walk, played ball in his fenced yard and then relaxed on Phil's couch together. Wilbur was tired (in a satisfied sort of way) when he came home. Phillip was quick to respond to messages and sent photos during their visit. We look forward to dropping Wilbur with Phil in the future.”
“Sarah is fantastic! Gracie has so much fun with her and her dogs. Sarah is patient, caring, and takes wonderful care of Gracie. She sends regular updates and the cutest pictures. I am so happy we found her and can’t wait to continue to have her care for Gracie!”
“It's clear that they know how to handle dogs with a variety of needs and are definitely 'dog people'. My dog normally gets anxious when his dad leaves but he barely noticed us go and pretty much bounced into the house.”
About: We have years of experience with various animals from rabbits, chickens, cats and dogs. Our 3 year old lab mix, Casey, has taught us a lot in training and she loves meeting dog friends! I work part time, and my husband works from home, so there is ample time available to care for pets in our schedule, including daily walks and working with your dog's routines. We have a fenced backyard and great neighborhood in which to take walks. Our lab mix, Casey, loves to have dog friends to play with. We have a crate available if your dog prefers some alone space. We also have kids aged 8-17 and two adults who can offer plenty of attention and snuggles if your dog prefers human friends.

“Leann was great! Our pup had surgery and she was extra cautious with him. Asked questions. She truly cares and was a great help for us! Thank you! Highly recommend her and she'll be my first request in the future!!”
“Sierra has taken care of our pets a few times now and we’ll definitely book her again. She is very reliable and takes great care of them. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello everyone! My name is Kelsey and like you I absolutely love animals. I have been a pet sitter for over six years. In total I have 10 years total of caring for animals in a few other capacities. I have experience with reactive dogs and giving animals their medicine.

Weekends I will have more availability throughout the day for daytime visits. For overnights I can do Fridays and Saturdays for a 10-12 hour timeframe. The pet sitting services that I offer are for at the clients home. Any care given may vary depending on what the clients needs for their pet or pets.
About: I love dogs and have a fenced in yard for them to play. 🐾 I am knowledgeable about dog behavior and recognize signs of illness or distress. I have experience with potty training, medication administration, and reinforcing basic training commands. I work day shift while my husband, Chad, works evening shift. One of us are home most of the time - there might be a few hours in the afternoon/evening when we both work. We crate our pups when they’re home alone and have a dog camera to monitor them closely. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space inside my home for pups to make themselves comfortable. In my home, dogs are welcome on furniture and will receive lots of pets and playtime. I will maintain a safe, clean, and loving environment for our fur babies.
About: Our family had a yellow lab for 15 years and now a golden retriever. We love dogs and enjoy playing outside and taking long walks! We are a homeschooling family and have a lot of flexibility in our days. I love to be outside and walk everyday. I’d happily love to share a walk with your pup! I have a small fenced in section of yard. We live near lots of trails so we take our dog on long walks in nature.
About: Hi! I’m Ashley — a dependable, calm dog walker focused on weekday potty breaks and routine walks. I’m especially great with anxious, sensitive, or routine-loving dogs. I move at your dog’s pace, prioritize safety, and keep visits predictable and low-stress. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk, I treat every visit like it matters — because it does. I’m punctual, communicative, and detail-oriented. You’ll always get a clear update after each visit so you know your dog is safe, calm, and cared for. I’m a great fit if you’re looking for: • Reliable weekday care • Consistent potty breaks or walks • Someone patient and gentle • A walker you can trust long-term I keep my schedule intentionally small so I can provide consistent, quality care. Weekly and recurring bookings welcome! Can talk about trialing running with your dog if you’d be open to that🙂 Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐾 I’m finishing up college online so I have pretty much open availability until I go back to school in-person for my master’s degree in social work. I care for your pets in-home based on the directions that you give me to take care of your pets. I’ll leave the house as I found it.
About: Hi! My name is Meredith, a devoted canine enthusiast and dedicated dog walker based near St.Paul, MN! With over ten years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds and sizes, I’m committed to giving your pup the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. My dog Sven loves walks, and together we have dabbled in barn hunt and agility, as well as obedience classes. My 30-minute walks are tailored to your pup’s energy level, whether they need a leisurely stroll or an energetic jaunt. I prioritize safety, fun, and personalized care, ensuring your dog comes back happy and ready for a nap. As a reliable and trustworthy walker, I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes from our walks. Book with me today! Starting August 11th I go back to school so my schedule will be different. I do not start work until mid morning so I like to do a morning walk and another after dinner if the weather is nice. I have a fenced-in yard and two smaller, friendly dogs that love to play. When the weather allows, there are great areas to walk dogs in my neighborhood.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have always had a soft spot for all furry friends. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and favorite way to spend the day, so I always take the time to get to know what makes them happiest and the most comfortable while away from their best friend! Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cozy naps, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to match their energy and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your furry family member like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I love taking pictures of these adorable, quirky, animals! My favorite thing growing up was to see picture updates of my dog while on vacation, so I will always do the same for my clients! Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I am working full time, but have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for, whether that means morning walks, midday potty breaks, playtime, feedings, or evening cuddles. I enjoy getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always take the time to learn their routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special preferences or instructions. In a client’s home, I treat both their pet and their home with the same respect and care I would my own. I’ll keep your pet company, make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection, and leave your home just as I found it. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I’ll provide a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where they can relax, play, and feel right at home. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can see how much fun your furry friend is having while you’re away!
“Emma is always excited to see Carolyn for her walk. She fell for Carolyn right off the bat. Emma does not always do that. She is a good judge of character.”

I am very good at following any instructions you have for your fur baby when I come to your house. Anything you need me to do I’ll do it.

About: I'm 42 years old and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always loved animals and want to help those in need. I'm very loving, caring and detail oriented. I currently have three amazing pups, they are 11, 5 and 2 years old (miniature pincher and two german shepherds), they have been through training school and are very obedient.

I may occasionally bring my sons, they have grown up around dogs and are very respectful. Update: I am currently only available for walks and drop ins. My yard is fully fenced. Hank is kenneled if I leave the house. I also have two larger kennels and can accommodate kennel trained pups. My dogs will always be kenneled if I leave the house. For sleeping I usually follow what the client prefers but at no time would your dog be left unsupervised with mine. If your dog likes to sleep on the couch at night I will kennel my dogs. We are knowledgeable and aware of foods dogs should and shouldn’t have.

She came home happy and a little tired after a weekend with Danielle's 2 much younger, more active, but very gentle dogs. Danielle has a very large, secure yard for the dogs to play in and explore. Between the outdoor space and the young dogs to play with, Flicka got lots of good exercise.”
“Sierra was fabulous! She took great care of our pup, Zeke. Communicated well and sent a picture so we knew he was happy and healthy. Hope to book with her again soon! :)”
“Jen and her family were amazing dog sitters! They took such good care of my dogs and sent me daily photo updates, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate all the love and attention they gave them. Highly recommend!”
“Monika and her pet family were wonderful with my two dogs. My dogs got along well with her pets and loved the large, fenced back yard. My older dog is deaf and has some GI issues requiring medication which Monika took care of for me. The pictures she sent on a daily basis showed how happy they were and cared for. They stayed for a week and loved every minute with her family.”
“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!!”
“Julie and her family were great!! Super responsive, sent lots of updates/photos, and really friendly! Will absolutely be rebooking with her and her family!”
“McKayla and Dillon are the best! They treated our four year old yellow lab Lucy as if she was their own. Lucy seemed happy and co tent to be with them. We are blessed to have found them and will be rebooking with them for our next trip. Thanks, thanks, thanks!”
“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!”
“Claire did a great job taking care of our dog Remy! He is a high energy lab mix and can be anxious and very vocal, but Claire was patient and sent lots of updates.”
“It’s not always easy to find someone you trust to take care of your pups and I’m so glad I found Emily on Rover. She was wonderful and took fantastic care of my puppy. She sent literally hundreds of photos so I could see each day how much fun he was having. She also sent updates each day outlining their entire day as well as updates as needed such as when my puppy was having some tummy issues. She was also extremely responsive any time I reached out with a question or just wanting to check in and was unfailingly kind. I highly recommend Emily and would trust her again to watch my pups.”
