“This was the second stay for our standard poodle and we already feel like we are dropping him off with family! The pictures and video they send tell us Beau not only feels at home, but is having the time of his life! They have so much fun with him and him with them. Thank you John and Teri! You guys are amazing. ❤️”
“Rachel was great with our dogs, she took them on short notice, she treated our dogs like family, took them for walks, sent us pictures and videos daily. We would absolutely recommend her and use her again! Our dogs loved her! Thank you!!!”
“Jennifer was amazing!!! She took such precious care of our Mayo buddy! She responded so quickly, allowed for last minute booking, and sent updates the entire time! Mayo loved playing with the Corgis! He never gets to play with dogs his size so he loved that! They had lots of sunshine and outdoor time! We will use Jennifer again!”
“Leo seems to have had a wonderful time. His behavior this evening is as if he just had a normal active day. Clearly he was comfortable enough to have cuddled up next to you. And he always enjoys a good walk.”
“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”
“Aish did such a great job watching our dog Niko over the weekend. We got daily update pictures and messages which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was doing well and being cared for. Niko looked happy and comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Rick and Sarah sent photos, videos and an update every day. They took our new puppy on short notice and with enthusiasm and we felt completely confident that our pups were happy and comfortable while we were away. Would recommend them to anyone!”
“Kirsten's home and yard are pet friendly, our young dog loved staying there. We received daily updates & photos, and Kirsten kept us informed of any concerns, e.g. trouble sleeping.”
“Karen and family took amazing care of our giant Newfoundland Nora. Spoiled her during her stay which was great to see. Pictures and updates daily showed how good of a time she had. Thank you for taking care of our baby.”
“We had an amazing experience with Carley and Austin! They took fantastic care of Walter and were so easy to work with. They are incredibly nice and kept me updated with great communication throughout the stay. We’ll definitely be using them again—highly recommend!”
“Another great visit with Lan for my Labradoodle, Buddy. As always, she was great, taking special care of my little guy while I was away for nearly three weeks. Really appreciated her flexibility when we needed to adjust our return date. It was so good to know he was in good hands and having so much fun playing with her dog, Lucy.”
“Serah was quick to respond to my last minute request and took good care of my pup! She sent me a photo update and was really flexible with pick up time. Murphy was exhausted when I got him home so I know he got lots of good play time. Thanks again!”
“Mike did such a great job with our furbaby, Kenzy. We loved getting the picture updates, and came back to a happy, exhausted pup. We will definitely use Mike again.”
“Lynn was awesome with our energetic pup. She immediately seemed to be calm and understanding with him and even was laughing at his silliness within a few minutes of meeting. This was our first time away from him and Lynn made us feel very confident about leaving our puppy with her. She has a great home for dogs and a fenced in area of a big yard. She brought him to dog parks and let him hang near her when he needed more attention. She communicated very well. I am excited for the next time we have an opportunity for our dog to stay with her. I would recommend her to anyone with any type of dog. She has other dogs there regularly, but is somehow able to meet each at their own level as well as bring them all together.”
“Our chihuahua stayed with Kelly and her family for the day and seemed very well taken care of. Kelly sent photos of him, obviously enjoying himself with her kids. I would not hesitate to leave our little guy there again.”
“Aimee and Robert were great with a last minute booking for our nervous girl. In the middle of moving it was so nice to know Ruby was taken care of. She came home relaxed and happy.”
“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.”

“Samantha was so wonderful with Buddy! She spent a lot of time brushing and petting him so he was a happy kitty while we were gone. Everything in the house was neat and clean when we got home. I would highly recommend Samantha!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and genuinely love caring for them like they’re part of the family. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages and temperaments. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions and medications. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins to give you peace of mind. I work a flexible hybrid schedule - 3 days in office, 2 days at home. When we leave our dog home alone to roam the house Monday - Friday, she is alone 8:00 to 12:00 and 1:00 to 5:00 with a mid-day lunch and potty break. We have a 2-year-old 75 lb Pyredoodle who LOVES to play and wrestle, so your dog will have a built-in buddy. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe playtime and exercise. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and beds. Our home is smoke-free and kid-free.
About: I have had a lot of pets currently I have two cats and a snake. In the past I have lived in households with dogs who have been left in my care for extended periods of time. I also have some experience with dog training. I do currently have a full-time job, however I work afternoons/nights so I am available before work as well as my days off, I have a set schedule so I am always available the same days. I have never lived in a house without any pets, so I am very confident reading body language to make sure animals are comfortable with me
“Haylee was very courteous and responsible. She took great care of my cat Phoebe and of my home as well. She followed all instructions and sent lots of photos which was greatly appreciated!”
“Kallyn has done such good work dropping in to feed and play with my cat! She is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly cares deeply for animals. I wouldn't hesitate to rebook her in the future.”
“Mikayla is the best pet sitter!! This is my 3rd time having her watch my 2 cats during a short trip and I felt so comfortable knowing that she would be taking care of them. From taking photos of my cats playing with toys--one she even bought for them!!--to giving me updates on how they were doing, Mikayla went above and beyond. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter who will not only watch your pets but treat them like one of her own!”
“Emily was great! She checked in throughout our trip to make sure we knew when she would be at the house and what our kitties were up to. Our kitties were new to us taking a long trip and having someone else checking on them, so they were a bit shy. Emily handled it so well! And did her best to help them feel comfortable. She was easy to get a hold of, very reliable, and quick to respond to any questions we had during the booking and actual sitting process. We will definitely book Emily again in the future :)”
About: Hi! I’m Danielle, and I’d love to care for your cat while you’re away. I’m a millennial, born and raised in Florida, but I’ve lived in Minnesota for a decade. I’m a devoted cat owner to my sweet boy, Maverick, for over 10 years. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to take care of your kitty. I am very gentle, kind, and great with cats of all breeds! I provide calm and attentive care while following your instructions closely. During each visit I’ll provide fresh food, water, clean the litter box, offer playtime, and companionship.
“Jessica was a great care giver for our cats while away. She stopped in and spent time with each kitty, took many pictures for us, and was a great communicator. We appreciated her reasonable rates and sweet and caring manner. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for peace of mind for your fur baby while way.”
“Rachel did a fantastic job watching our cats while we were away. She went above and beyond their needs and was very prompt with communication! We will definitely book with her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Abby, and I absolutely love cats! I have 3 years of experience caring for all kinds of cats, from playful and energetic kittens to independent, laid-back cats who prefer to do their own thing. I also have two cats of my own who I’ve raised since they were just 2 months old, so I know how much love, patience, and attention cats need at every stage. They’ve given me plenty of experience with kitten care, different personalities, routines, and everything that comes with being a cat parent! I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, cuddles, and giving plenty of attention and companionship while you’re away. I understand that every cat is different, so I’ll take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I know cats can be creatures of habit, so I’ll do my best to keep their normal routine while you’re away. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how your kitty is doing! Whether your cat wants constant attention, a good play session, or simply someone to quietly hang out with them, I’m happy to give them exactly what they need. I’ll treat your cat like my own and make sure they get plenty of love while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“I have 4 cats, 2 of them are 1/2 feral. They are indoor/outdoor and Derek made sure they all received wet food twice a day. They were happy kitties when I got home. I live in the country and Derek was willing to drive to help me out. A great experience, I will ask Derek for help with vacations in the future”
“Megan was wondering and both our dogs loved her. She came over for an hour visit for a few different days and the pups were so happy to see her and wanted to cuddle with her. Will definitely use Megan again!”

“As soon as we pulled onto their street, my dog started to squeal in excitement! This was his second stay here. It's really convenient to drop him off here while we get some runs in at Afton Alps. He was happy and tired at the end of the day.”
“We had such a great experience with Giovana! She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages. It was clear that Kit was well cared for and loved — Giovana truly treated her like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for her kindness and attention, and we’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“This was our first experience using Lynn to provide an afternoon of daycare for our two, 1-1/2 yr old labs Maggie and Willow. Lynn met with us for a visit before we booked this daycare service and we found Lynn to be very knowledgeable, confident, cheerful and pleasant to work with. She did a great job answering all of questions and gave us the time we needed to ask them. On the day of daycare she took extra care in introducing our pups to the other dogs since Maggie can be very timid and a bit insecure. Everything went really well and by all indications Maggie and Willow had a great time. We will certainly book future stays with Lynn.”
About: We live in a large two story townhouse that provides lots of indoor play space. We live in a townhouse community that has a large common area in the front and back. We also have a deck that your pet can lounge on. We live near lots of walking paths and a dog park. We also live near the edge of town and close walking distance to the river. My husband and I have five children who love pets of all kinds and are full of energy. I work a full time seasonal job so I will have more flexibility come the winter months. Our weekends are generally free. During the week is a bit hectic with having five kids in school with various activities. We have an unfenced yard but live close to dog parks. We have plenty of room in our home to give your pet a safe/quiet space if needed.
About: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I walk, run and play with them. I treat every pet like a friend, offering comfort, attention and emotional connection. I bathe my dog about every other month. We have a routine in the morning with a walk before breakfast. Sometimes a walk around lunch time and another one after work is done. He is well loved and treated like a family member. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am in my office 3 half days and full time at home the other 2 days. I could stop at someone’s place on my way home to spend time with a dog and walk them. I can also stop over after work and later in the evening. In my home I have a fenced in yard that my dog can run free and play. If I am in a clients home I would make sure that there is nothing that the dog/puppy could get into after spending time with them/walking them.
“Mike was great about updating me on Koya's first day. She seemed to stick close by his side all day, which is typical of my people-loving dog, and even seemed to not get too spooked with the thunder. I love the fact that she's able to hang out in a home environment and not be overwhelmed with too many other dogs. It was great to get a picture of her sleeping too, which she would never do at a commercial doggy daycare facility. We'll be back!”
About: I have watched all ages of dogs and all different breeds. I love taking dogs on walk, I walk my dog twice a day and I can give dogs medication if they are on meds and I I love playing catch with dogs and just giving them extra snuggles😊 I work a full time job but can help with pet care before the start of my day at anytime before 7:30am and I can do pet care after 4pm on the weekdays. Weekends I am more viable and can do more pet care anytime throughout the day. I care my pets by taking them on walks twice a day, playing catch outside. I feed them twice a day and give lots of snuggles. I have a German Shepherd and he loves to play and snuggle and is a big mommy’s boy❤️
“Caleb is amazing. He took the time to put together an activity list for our puppy, made sure he had multiple forms of mental stimulation (lick pads, puzzles), and ensured plenty of exercise. Caleb gave us a gift of our own lick pad, so very thoughtful. We will be back for more doggy day care.”
About: Your pup will be the only one in our care during their stay! They will get all the cuddles, all the love, all the attention and all the things! They will enjoy our fenced in backyard and will be allowed to roam through our entire home. Jazmin is a college student home for the summer, and is in her 3rd year. She is on the deans list, and committed to getting good grades, being reliable and dependable, and willing to help provide a loving home for your pet! Jazmin will be away starting mid-August and since our family enjoyed every single dog we had over the summer, Mary has decided to continue providing care to help offset college expenses. Mary works from home, so your pup will never be alone for more than a couple hours if needed to run errands. We had a boxer that we raised from 10 weeks old to 12 years old. Unfortunately she was laid to rest in February 25, so your pet will be given a lot of love and affection and help fill our empty home. We have experience with puppy's all the way to senior dogs who are blind, deaf, diabetic, have seizures, etc. We have watched family's, neighbors, and friends dogs. We would be honored for you to share your pup with us while you are away. Our price reflects our care and amenities; fenced in yard with shade trees, allowed on beds and couches, we don't require a kennel unless needed, we wash food/water bowls daily, a GPS tag will be used in case you pup escapes, someone is always home, numerous walks around the block, pictures will be sent daily, access to all 3 levels of our home and we only take 1 family at a time! Jazmin will return from school in December 2025-January 2026 and again in mid-May 2026 to mid-August 2026. Is this your first time on Rover? Use Code: JAZMIC96925, to get $20 off your first booking after you sign up! Jazmin is away at college right now. Mary works from home and can attend to your dog as much as needed. Someone will always be home with your pet so they can receive the adequate amount of care that they need. We are also available for dog walking, potty breaks at the pets home, and pretty much everything. We have a fenced in yard, dogs are allowed on the couch, bed and all areas of our home. Whether you prefer kennel or no kennel either works for us, walks will be provided upon request and medication for senior dogs will be administered if needed. I am open for helping in whatever way I can, and I am willing to accommodate within reason.
“Bethany is frequent day care sitter for Tofte. As a separation anxiety pup we are pleased at how comfortable he continues to get there as he becomes more familiar with being there. This time he had the zoomies when we got there because he was so excited to go play in her great fenced-in backyard!”

“This was the first time we used Rover. We left Gunner for a daycare day to start. Carolyn and Kristopher were great with Gunner. Carolyn wrote down all the details of Gunner’s normal routine and his particular needs. He came home very tired which was a win. We will be using them again in February for a longer stay. So thankful we found such wonderful people to leave him with.”
“Buddy loved his day with Leanna and her family. He was in good spirits when I came to collect him, and loved the extra attention throughout the day. Leanna is a great communicator, and I could tell Buddy felt super comfortable with her and her home. Thanks so much again for being so kind!”
“Maxie was having separation anxiety and Brittany was totally understanding of that. Once we work with Maxie to get her use to others outside of our family I would absolutely book with Brittany again”
“Ro had another wonderful stay with Topsy! He was so excited when we got there he ran right into the house and straight to the backyard so he could play. We always feel so comfortable and happy leaving Ro with Topsy. Ro always has so much fun!”

About: I recently retired early, sold my small business, and am excited to spend more time doing something that has always been a big part of my life - caring for and loving animals. I have been a pet mom and caregiver for many years, looking after furry friends of every age, personality, and quirk. I have 2 kitties, one who is an outgoing crazy character and the other sweet and shy. We sadly lost our Goldendoodle recently and I'd love to share cuddles and walks with your dog(s). I am reliable, patient and calm - and treat every pet with the same affection and care I give my own. I recently retired so my schedule is very flexible for daily drop-ins, overnight stays, walks, playtime, and cuddles. Have a last-minute trip or unexpected work meeting? I have the time and treats! When caring for your pets, I put their safety and comfort first. With many years of experience caring for pets, I know that each is unique, with different personalities and comfort level with new people. I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is for everything to feel just as safe, calm, and familiar as when you are there. I follow your routines closely, keep your home tidy, and pay attention to all of the little things that help your pet feel secure. What sets me apart is that during my career, I traveled quite a bit and hired pet sitters to stay with my kitties and dog. I know, from a client's perspective, what was important to me and my fur babies. I will send you daily updates and photos (unless that's not your preference), so you and your pets can feel completely comfortable and stress-free.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since even a young age. I was 11 years old when I got my own dog to take care of as well as raise. I’ve been hooked with animals majority of my life and love them all. They are family and I treasure as well as treat them like family. I do understand medical needs so if your pet needs special medicine I have no problem working with them. I am diligent and able to administer medication as well as go on walks or anything else you need for your pet. I also love to send updates of how the fur babies are doing. 😊 I live on a farm with a fenced in dog pen available. I also have 2 friendly dogs that play well with fur babies. However, I do understand the concerns of meeting new pets and have crates for my dogs to go to for separation if requested.
“Jessica took amazing care of my dog while I was at work! She sent updates and great pictures to put this nervous dog mama at ease! I will definitely be using Jessica again! She is a rock star ⭐️”
About: I had dogs growing up and I currently have my own dog. Iv taken care of two litters of puppies. Our family pug had puppies and so did our springer spaniel. We also had a chocolate lab. My current dog is a 1 year old Rottweiler. He is so much fun! Iv been walking dogs for about a year using Wag. I have a full time job and I take care of pets part time. Im usually available after 3pm everyday. I try to walk at least 3 dogs a week. I truly love dogs, all dogs. I will give your dog my full attention while we walk together, meaning I give eye contact, call their name in a playful way, and give them treats (with owner’s permission) and water if they listen to my commands. They will see me as their source of entertainment while getting a great exercise. I will walk or run depending on what your dog wants. Your dog will be very safe with me, I’m strong enough to handle any dog and I double check the harness is secure and double wrap the lease around my wrist.
About: As far back into my childhood as I can recall, my immediate and extended family has always had dogs and other pets as well. To this day I think it still hold true that our pets are so much more than just pets and with that being said it’s so important they are treated with as much care and love we would treat someone else in our family. It can be frightening leaving your pet in someone else’s hands when you have to be away however that’s why I hope you’ll choose me and put your trust in my hands with your pet. I have had the opportunity of being old enough to help my parents raise the dogs that we had growing up as well as in recent years adding a cat and bearded dragon in to the mix as well. My summer schedule is overall flexible and allows me to be more available and present with any pets I am caring for at the time. I personally have a fenced in yard and two decks for the dog to go off of to spend time outside. While visiting clients homes I’d prefer to not have to stay over as packing/running back and forth is slightly inconvenient however I am not opposed to this option depending on my schedule for that week.

“This was the second stay for our standard poodle and we already feel like we are dropping him off with family! The pictures and video they send tell us Beau not only feels at home, but is having the time of his life! They have so much fun with him and him with them. Thank you John and Teri! You guys are amazing. ❤️”
“Leo seems to have had a wonderful time. His behavior this evening is as if he just had a normal active day. Clearly he was comfortable enough to have cuddled up next to you. And he always enjoys a good walk.”
“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”
“Rick and Sarah sent photos, videos and an update every day. They took our new puppy on short notice and with enthusiasm and we felt completely confident that our pups were happy and comfortable while we were away. Would recommend them to anyone!”
“Kirsten's home and yard are pet friendly, our young dog loved staying there. We received daily updates & photos, and Kirsten kept us informed of any concerns, e.g. trouble sleeping.”
“Karen and family took amazing care of our giant Newfoundland Nora. Spoiled her during her stay which was great to see. Pictures and updates daily showed how good of a time she had. Thank you for taking care of our baby.”
“We had an amazing experience with Carley and Austin! They took fantastic care of Walter and were so easy to work with. They are incredibly nice and kept me updated with great communication throughout the stay. We’ll definitely be using them again—highly recommend!”
“Serah was quick to respond to my last minute request and took good care of my pup! She sent me a photo update and was really flexible with pick up time. Murphy was exhausted when I got him home so I know he got lots of good play time. Thanks again!”
“Mike did such a great job with our furbaby, Kenzy. We loved getting the picture updates, and came back to a happy, exhausted pup. We will definitely use Mike again.”
“Lynn was awesome with our energetic pup. She immediately seemed to be calm and understanding with him and even was laughing at his silliness within a few minutes of meeting. This was our first time away from him and Lynn made us feel very confident about leaving our puppy with her. She has a great home for dogs and a fenced in area of a big yard. She brought him to dog parks and let him hang near her when he needed more attention. She communicated very well. I am excited for the next time we have an opportunity for our dog to stay with her. I would recommend her to anyone with any type of dog. She has other dogs there regularly, but is somehow able to meet each at their own level as well as bring them all together.”
“Our chihuahua stayed with Kelly and her family for the day and seemed very well taken care of. Kelly sent photos of him, obviously enjoying himself with her kids. I would not hesitate to leave our little guy there again.”
“Aimee and Robert were great with a last minute booking for our nervous girl. In the middle of moving it was so nice to know Ruby was taken care of. She came home relaxed and happy.”
“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.”
“Kristen and her family helped us out over a weekend. Her young girls have a lot of energy but she kept and eye on our Leo to be sure they were good with him. He sleeps a lot and they let him do that. All evidence was that Leo was cared for.”
“Got frequent updates and our pup seemed to love the environment! Monika was very welcoming and understanding when it came to certain instructions with our dog will definitely go back for future stays:)”
“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!”
