“Dropping off my pup with John & Teri felt like leaving him with family. They are incredibly kind, and geniunely care for and love your dog like their own. It helps that they speak doodle, too. The one caution is if you leave your dog there for too many days, they might end up not wanting to come back home. If you have a doodle and need a sitter, you’re doing your dog a disservice if you choose anyone else! 11/10 recommend.”
“Jennifer was so sweet, caring, and accommodating to our pup. I loved getting pictures and messages throughout his stay, which really put my mind at ease. I truly appreciate her taking in a puppy and being so flexible with our schedule tweaks. We'll definitely book again.”
“Cassondra was awesome with our dogs! She did everything to make sure our dogs were taken care of and she even gave them a bath! She sent picture updates during the stay as well. We will definitely contact Cassondra again in the future!”
“Aish was wonderful. Answered all my questions. Sent lots of pictures. My puppy had a great time. Felt much better going on vacation knowing she was loved and cared for.”
“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!!!”
“Trudy is the best! She took the best care of our dog while we were out of town. Our dog Gus had so much fun and didn’t want to leave when we picked him up! Trudy was very communicative and sent us pictures, which we loved!!”
“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.”
“Our dog had a great stay with Sarah and Richard! They were very responsive and we appreciated the daily photo and video updates. Our dog loved playing with their dog Sadie!”
“Serah was an amazing person to have as our little Lita’s foster momma while we had an extended vacation. She kept us in the loop with texts and pictures. It was so reassuring to have our pup taken care of and loved as her own. Lita loved the fenced in yard and having Riley, Serah’s dog, as her playmate. We highly recommend Serah. We will definitely choose her again as our first choice in dog sitters.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Venus with Brittni and her family. That feeling was validated after seeing the smiles on Brittni and my beloved Venus' face. We thank you”
“We had a fantastic experience with Tasha on Rover! We already knew Tasha, so we were confident our dog would be in great hands and she absolutely delivered. Her family helped out too, and it was clear our pups got tons of love and attention from everyone. Tasha kept us updated throughout our trip, and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog who clearly enjoyed his time with them. The sweetest surprise? They even taught him a brand-new trick! He’s been proudly showing it off. Highly recommend Tasha and her wonderful family to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾💛”
“I can't say enough about Karen, from the meet n great through the entire stay. She was very thorough with details and communication. She welcomed my fur baby into her home and loved him like her own. She did an amazing job keeping him in his daily routine. This was the first time he has stayed with anyone other than family and I could not be happier. The daily updates and photos helped me enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands! I could tell with the photos that he was really loved and super happy. I look forward to booking more stays and highly recommend her and her family.”
“Mike was great with our Old English Sheepdog, Sophie! We made a last-minute reservation with Mike and he was very accommodating. He also sent pictures of Sophie during her stay to ensure us that she was comfortable and being well cared for. Highly recommended!”
“Kirsten was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and Kirsten made me feel so at ease. Her home was lovely and dog friendly and I know our dog was well taken care of. Her daily messages and pictures made me feel in touch with what was going on with our dog. Thank you, Kirsten! We will definitely look you up again when we need another dog sitter.”
“Lan is very communicative and flexible. My dog Dottie seemed to have a great time. Would use again. LAN’s home was warm, clean and friendly. Also she had a nice fenced in yard.”
“Chelsie was great, highly recommend!! She agreed to take my pup on short notice, was so kind and welcoming, and was amazing with my pup!! It was great as she sent daily updates and pictures. I will most definitely use her services again in the future!!”
“Our experience with this wonderful family was just that, wonderful! The entire family helped care for Bailey just like she was their own. Lots of snuggles, love & attentive care. Our family had just lost our dear Betsy (our older blue heeler). We had to let her go in January of this year due to illness & age. It was very clear that Bailey was missing her. So when she met some new friends like these great people, she was in heaven. Along with variety of 4 legged friends. We received lots of updates and pics on our vacation and that really put our minds at ease. I don’t think Bailey wanted to leave when we came to pick her up!😁 We feel blessed to have found this family and will definitely be booking again! Thank you ♥️”
“Robert is excellent, he sends photos and videos, I always feel good leaving our girl with Robert and his wife because I know they take great care of her and love her as their own.”
“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”

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.
“Bonnie was great with our two black cats! She could even tell them apart! Made sure they ate, had some play time, and some cuddles during her drop ins. Lots of pics and notes about each visit. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha was wonderful with our cat Buddy! She spent a lot of time with him every day and took very good care of him including brushing and spending time on the deck together. She sent pictures every day so I could see how happy Buddy was!”
“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.”

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.
“So thankful for Jennifer. She stopped by our house to visit our kitties twice a day. Love receiving videos and photos daily of our kitties while we were gone. Definitely will be using her again on our next getaway.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I picked Jessica based on her profile and location. She was nice enough to come out and meet me and my kitties before my booking which helped put me at ease. The date of the booking she was punctual and even sent me pictures of my babies so I knew they were ok. She was very sweet and even my more antisocial kitty really took to her! One might say she is an animal whisperer. I definitely recommend Jessica if you are looking for someone to check in on your fur babies.”
“Mikael made sure out kitties were well-fed and loved while we were out of town! They seemed very content when we came back home! Very communicative and easy to get a hold of! We would be happy to have her pet sit again!”
About: We’ve owned and taken care if cats for decades. We love everything about them and currently no longer have one so are more than happy to give yours the love and attention they deserve!

“Giovana and her family were so wonderful with Skye. I couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter. Thank you so much for treating Skye like he was part of your family. If I need a sitter again, hopefully you are available. 😁”
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.
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.
“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.”
“Joey is loving his time at Mike's! I noticed today he was wagging his tail when he saw Mike and that shows me he is comfortable going there. I can't imagine taking him anywhere else! Thanks Mike!”
About: I’m a passionate dog lover who’s spent years providing exceptional care to dogs of all breeds and ages. My journey began long before my beloved heart dog, whose companionship deepened my commitment to love, patience, and understanding in caring for furry companions. I believe every dog is unique and deserves to feel safe, cherished, and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart - Heartfelt commitment: My genuine love for dogs drives me to create a nurturing environment where each pet feels at home. I respect the emotional bond between pets and their owners and work to maintain the pet’s comfort in the owner’s absence. - Puppy expertise: I use positive reinforcement to support good behavior, healthy socialization, and plenty of playtime for puppies. - Senior dog care: I provide compassionate, specialized care for senior dogs, from gentle exercise routines to medication administration, ensuring their comfort and wellbeing. - Personalized attention: I learn each dog’s personality, preferences, and routine so I can tailor care—whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles—to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free. With a heartfelt approach and commitment to excellence, I guarantee your furry family member will receive the love, attention, safety, and care they deserve while you’re away. As a self-employed entrepreneur, I have the flexibility to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. This allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to your furry family during their stay. Whether it's providing companionship, engaging in playtime, or adhering to their feeding and exercise schedules, I ensure that your pet receives the care and love they need. My adaptable schedule means your pet will never feel alone, and I can provide consistent support and companionship throughout their time with me. In my home, your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a secure, fenced yard where they can play and explore freely. My space is designed to accommodate your furry friend with plenty of room to relax. If you prefer, I can crate your dog for added security, or we can allow them to roam comfortably without a crate during their stay. Rest assured, your pet will feel safe and at home in my care.
“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.

“Teddy was happy to spend the day with Amanda, she gave him lots of love and attention. I was so relieved that Teddy was well taken care of. It's a plus that she has a fenced in back yard.”

“Tofte loves going to Bethany's! She is a thoughtful, caring dog sitter who takes such good care of Tofte during the day. She is so kind and friendly, and very understanding with our separation anxiety little guy.”
“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.”

About: When my friends go on vacation, I am the first person they call to petsit! Animals warm up to my calm demeaner quickly, and I've been told by pet owners that their shy animals have never been so friendly to a new person so fast before. I have experience caring for cats & kittens, dogs, and birds. I am very patient and gentle with animals, seeking to understand their physical and vocal cues to know what they need. I am also an expert at playing fetch and tug of war with dogs, and my expertise with cat feather wands means the cat usually gets tired before I do. I love walking, so it's a bonus if your pup wants to come with! I am a graduate student at St. Thomas with a part-time tutoring job during the school year, so I have plenty of gaps in my schedule to care for your pet. This means that I can spend time during the day, night, and weekend with your pet, including returning home for potty or play breaks in between tutoring or classes, depending on the needs of your pet. I am also available to stay overnight with your pet, so long as they don't mind helping me with my homework! I am vigilant and aware while pet sitting, making sure I know where your pet is and never leaving any doors, gates, or windows open. For example, my friend lives in an apartment and has two kittens who like to escape into the hallway, so I also create a barrier when I open his front door to ensure they stay inside. His windows also don't have screens, so I make sure they are always shut and locked up tight. I love interacting with and talking with animals when they are around, so even if I am busy working on my own projects, I'll take frequent breaks to catch up with your pets and give them attention.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I've helped take care of them, walk them, and kept them company. I'm detail oriented and do my best to do everything according to direction. I'd be happy to help take care of your animal. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to work with your pets! I'm available most days, best in the afternoon. I'm detail oriented and will make sure your dogs are leashed or harnessed the way they should be. When I'm walking I try to be very aware of my surroundings and will keep up that care with your dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs almost my entire life. We offer a loving home near walking paths and parks. Also have neighbors with very friendly dogs if you allow play time I recently retired, and have an open schedule. My wife is allergic to cats and dogs, so any overnight stays, we recommend your dog is non-allergic and non-shedding If non overnight stays, and walks, a shedding dog is welcome. Our previous dog was a golden doodle, which we were fortunate to spend 12 glorious years Looking forward to spending time with your pet. We have a nice big fenced in yard for run around playtime’s, We know your pet is an extension of your family, and we will treat with utmost respect and care, fenced in yard offers a lot of exercise if your dog needs it. There is walking trails and 2 doggie parks if that is something your dog likes to do.
About: I've lived with dogs most my life. I took my childhood dog to puppy classes in petsmart and have used that knowledge to help my friends with their dogs. I'm able to read body language and anticipate needs. I love walking and playing outside. Lost dogs have been able to trust me to help them find their way home since I was a kid. Animals love me as much as I love them 💕 I'm available to take care of your pets when needed, and have a flexible schedule that allows me to do so. I love animals and hope to help others take care of their animals. Having a calm and quiet personality has always allowed animals to feel safe and secure around me. I'm able to care for them by showing genuine affection towards them. My current living situation does not all for me to have pets and I'm looking forward to loving and taking care of yours as I would my own.

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 dog sitting for neighbors for over 10 years and have also worked at a doggy daycare in Columbia Heights. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide reliable pet care. I’m very experienced with managing my schedule and making sure each dog’s needs come first. I make time for regular feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their care instructions and give their pets everything they need. During visits, I’ll feed them, let them outside or take them for a walk, and spend time playing with them to help get their energy out. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and are comfortable before I leave.
About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I now have a dog of my own, which has given me hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, playtime, and maintaining a routine. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m a teacher and am currently on summer break, so I have plenty of availability right now. My schedule will become more limited toward the end of August when the school year begins. Currently, I’m unable to care for dogs in my home, but I’m happy to come to my clients’ homes to provide the care their dogs need.
About: I have enjoyed taking care of dogs since I was in high school. I have experience working with dogs all ages and sizes. Me and my family would take care and love your dog like they are our own. I work full time but have a flexible schedule where I can accommodate your pet(s). I am available some week days and most weekends, including holidays. Your pet will be well loved and attended for at our home. With a dog of my own, we go on frequent walks and have lots of snuggles. Your pet will feel like one of the family.
About: Hi! My name is Ashley. I am originally from Superior. We just recently moved to Woodbury from Appleton. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and the level of care and communication I provide. I’ve had dogs my entire life, including hands-on experience caring for a diabetic dog, so I’m comfortable with medication routines, special diets, and consistent care. I’m confident with high-energy dogs and patient with puppies and seniors who need a gentler pace. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home often and able to provide attentive, structured care, along with regular updates and photos so you always feel at ease. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are very open for walks and drop-in visits, as I’m home and have a flexible schedule on those days. Tuesdays and Thursdays also work well when my schedule is open, and I’m happy to communicate availability in advance. Weekends are often available as well and may vary slightly depending on my family’s schedule, but I do my best to remain flexible whenever possible. Overnight care is also something I’m excited to offer when my schedule allows, as I understand how comforting it can be for pets to stay in their own home while their owners are away. I’m always happy to discuss scheduling needs and will be clear and communicative to ensure the best care for your pets. I care for pets as if they were my own, closely following their routine and your instructions. In your home, I focus on consistent feeding, walks, medications, and any special care needs. For walks and drop-ins, I make sure each visit includes quality time, attention, exercise, and affection, not just a quick stop.
About: I have grown up taking care of various kinds of animals from a young age. My family and I started fostering dogs when I was 10 years old and we own two dogs ourselves! Also, for the past several years I dog watched for friends for an extended period of time. I am currently in summer and working part-time so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pup! I’m available throughout the day and also on weekends. I have experience dog sitting and watching other families dogs. Whether it is walking or just spending time with your pup I am able to do whatever you need.
About: Growing up I’ve been a dog sitter, provided personal care for my own animals, raised ducks, reptiles, dogs and cats for years and love them all! I am currently a student at Iowa State University, I am a Pre-Vet student and would love to care for your animals. I have classes every weekday until 3pm. Depending on you and your pets needs I will work with all that is needed in your home to make your pet as comfortable and safe as possible!
“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.

“Dropping off my pup with John & Teri felt like leaving him with family. They are incredibly kind, and geniunely care for and love your dog like their own. It helps that they speak doodle, too. The one caution is if you leave your dog there for too many days, they might end up not wanting to come back home. If you have a doodle and need a sitter, you’re doing your dog a disservice if you choose anyone else! 11/10 recommend.”
“Cassondra was awesome with our dogs! She did everything to make sure our dogs were taken care of and she even gave them a bath! She sent picture updates during the stay as well. We will definitely contact Cassondra again in the future!”

“Our dog had a great stay with Sarah and Richard! They were very responsive and we appreciated the daily photo and video updates. Our dog loved playing with their dog Sadie!”
“Serah was an amazing person to have as our little Lita’s foster momma while we had an extended vacation. She kept us in the loop with texts and pictures. It was so reassuring to have our pup taken care of and loved as her own. Lita loved the fenced in yard and having Riley, Serah’s dog, as her playmate. We highly recommend Serah. We will definitely choose her again as our first choice in dog sitters.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Venus with Brittni and her family. That feeling was validated after seeing the smiles on Brittni and my beloved Venus' face. We thank you”
“We had a fantastic experience with Tasha on Rover! We already knew Tasha, so we were confident our dog would be in great hands and she absolutely delivered. Her family helped out too, and it was clear our pups got tons of love and attention from everyone. Tasha kept us updated throughout our trip, and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog who clearly enjoyed his time with them. The sweetest surprise? They even taught him a brand-new trick! He’s been proudly showing it off. Highly recommend Tasha and her wonderful family to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾💛”
“I can't say enough about Karen, from the meet n great through the entire stay. She was very thorough with details and communication. She welcomed my fur baby into her home and loved him like her own. She did an amazing job keeping him in his daily routine. This was the first time he has stayed with anyone other than family and I could not be happier. The daily updates and photos helped me enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands! I could tell with the photos that he was really loved and super happy. I look forward to booking more stays and highly recommend her and her family.”
“Mike was great with our Old English Sheepdog, Sophie! We made a last-minute reservation with Mike and he was very accommodating. He also sent pictures of Sophie during her stay to ensure us that she was comfortable and being well cared for. Highly recommended!”
“Kirsten was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and Kirsten made me feel so at ease. Her home was lovely and dog friendly and I know our dog was well taken care of. Her daily messages and pictures made me feel in touch with what was going on with our dog. Thank you, Kirsten! We will definitely look you up again when we need another dog sitter.”
“Chelsie was great, highly recommend!! She agreed to take my pup on short notice, was so kind and welcoming, and was amazing with my pup!! It was great as she sent daily updates and pictures. I will most definitely use her services again in the future!!”
“Our experience with this wonderful family was just that, wonderful! The entire family helped care for Bailey just like she was their own. Lots of snuggles, love & attentive care. Our family had just lost our dear Betsy (our older blue heeler). We had to let her go in January of this year due to illness & age. It was very clear that Bailey was missing her. So when she met some new friends like these great people, she was in heaven. Along with variety of 4 legged friends. We received lots of updates and pics on our vacation and that really put our minds at ease. I don’t think Bailey wanted to leave when we came to pick her up!😁 We feel blessed to have found this family and will definitely be booking again! Thank you ♥️”
“Robert is excellent, he sends photos and videos, I always feel good leaving our girl with Robert and his wife because I know they take great care of her and love her as their own.”
“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”
About: I would love to take care of your fur baby🐶🐾 I truly believe our pets are our family, and they deserve to be treated with patience, love, and attention. I’ve grown up with huskies and understand their energy, intelligence, and big personalities. I had a husky growing up, and now I rescued one of my own — so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, structure, and staying active. I’m also a foster mom, which has given me experience with dogs of different temperaments, backgrounds, and needs. Caring for foster dogs has taught me patience, adaptability, and how important it is to make every dog feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs — from small Yorkie/Shih Tzus to big Labs. I’m comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also have experience administering medications, including oral medications, eye drops, ear drops, and other basic care needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in capable and attentive hands. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my routine! I currently work in the service industry, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule. My usual days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays, which allows for extended availability those days. On most other days, I’m available for morning walks and check-ins if you reach out in advance. Since I already have an active routine with my own dog, adding walks and care for your pup fits in perfectly. I’m happy to communicate and coordinate to find times that work best for both of us! 🐾 I treat every pet like they’re part of my family, with care, respect, and plenty of love. My husky has gone through several training courses, so I’m used to teaching commands, helping with training, and teaching new tricks when needed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I create a calm and positive environment, supervise them closely, and adapt to each pet’s personality. You can trust that your furry family member will be in loving hands! 🐾
“It was our first time on the Rover site and we needed someone to board our sweet girls Betsy & Bailey for about 2 weeks. We were moving and we knew they would not do well with all the change at once. And what we found was the best! Jazmin and her great family took them in as if they were their own pups. The love, snuggles and support they received from the entire family was immeasurable. We will be doing this again soon! I’m talking about top notch dog people! We are truly blessed to have found Jazmin!”
“Carman was a wonderful sitter for my pup! He was returned to me happy and clean. I would recommend carman to anyone who wants their pet taken care of. You can tell that Carman really loves dogs to because Bud was spoiled the entire time with love and attention (: we will be using Carman as our regular sitter from now on. Thank you so much Carman!”
“Monika was great! She took good care of our goose, sending us photos so we could see how he was doing. We felt very comfortable that he was well cared for and will use her services again. Highly recommended.”
“Rosie was very happy at Kyle’s. We saw some sweet photos of her during her stay. We appreciated your flexibility in picking her up too. Thanks much. We will definitely request to rebook with Kyle.”
