“We had an excellent experience with Cait and Tim! Our pup didn’t have good manners when meeting their family dog but they didn’t seem to be worried. He eventually settled in and he had a great time for his overnight. He was so tired the following day from all the activity at their house. We’d never used a service like this before. We would recommend them 100%!”
“Kelly did a great job watching Charlie over the 4th of July. He was very happy throughout his stay. I appreciated the pictures and updates over the holidays. We would definitely book with Kelly again.”
“Hands down, Dynette is the best pet sitter I have ever used! She went above and beyond with my dog! She kept me informed and sent me pictures throughout the week and I have never been on a trip and felt so at ease about leaving my dog! I knew that my dog was in great hands and getting lots of love! I was so pleased that I am booking her for another vacation in a few months!”
“This was the first time we had the pleasure of working with Monika and family and all I can say is we would 100% use them again! They were so kind and caring and our golden retriever, Willow, had an amazing time there. I got plenty of pictures of her having fun with their other dogs, as well as snuggling with the humans in the household. They were amazing to work with and flexible when our travel plans changed slightly. I would highly recommend booking with this family!”
“Very pleasant couple and adorable dog Luna. Send pictures and updates on Chester during his stay with them. Fenced yard was great with camera to know when the dogs wanted back in the house.”
“Katie and her two pups were the best hosts! Whenever Katie send over pictures, I could tell my dog was comfortable and happy! Would highly recommend booking with her”
“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!”
“Cassie took care of our two mad Airedale terriers for ten days and they came home happy and healthy. We are grateful for the care she gave them, and the great pictures she sent. Cassie is now our go-to sitter, no question!”
“I was very comfortable with Danielle and Chad. My dogs were well cared for, I didn't have a moment of concern. It was the first time leaving Lola, they were patient with her although she was rather skittish. I highly recommend them if you need care for your dogs.”
“We planned a very spontaneous 5 day trip to warm weather and found Mike on rover. We met with him and felt really good about our interaction and his interaction with our pup. Georgee is just 5 months old so I was a little concerned about leaving her but I had absolutely nothing to be concerned about! Mike sent us updates, photos and videos daily. Georgee got to socialize with other dogs which was awesome! I felt comforted knowing our little Georgee was being so well taken care of. We will definitely be using Mike in the future! Highly recommend!”
“I don’t think Birdie wanted to come home! It seems like she had a great time at Lan’s house and Lan followed all care instructions to the letter. It was my first time using Rover and Lan made me feel like my gal was in great hands. Thank you!”
“Jenny and Andy are great! Great communication and updates. They really put us at ease and it’s clear Shiva was well taken care of and loved while we were gone. Can’t recommend enough!”
“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.”
“Claire took such good care of our girl! She was super accommodating and sent photos throughout her stay. We will totally book with Claire again and can’t recommend her enough!”
“I highly recommend Patricia and Patrick B.! I spent a lot of time searching for the right boarding for Ajax because he isn't kennel-trained and can be unpredictable with other dogs, so finding a safe, comfortable environment was my top priority. Patricia and Patrick were professional, incredibly welcoming, and their focus on safety put me at ease immediately. Ajax loved the place from the very first visit, and seeing how affectionate he was toward Patricia and Patrick when I picked him up spoke volumes about the care he received. There is no better way to show how much love they gave him—we will definitely be booking with them again!"”
“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. ❤️”

“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.”
About: Cats have been a big part of my life too! I’ve spent years caring for my brother’s cat and getting to know all the little quirks that make cats so special. I understand that some cats want endless attention and cuddles, while others prefer to observe you from across the room until they decide you’ve earned their trust. I’m happy to follow their lead, respect their space, and give them plenty of affection, playtime, and attention when they want it. Every cat has their own personality, and I’d love the chance to get to know yours!
“Stephanie took excellent care of our senior cat. Stephanie befriended our shy but super social cat during the meet and greet — she has the gift! I’m so happy our cat has a new bestie and I can confidently travel knowing she’s happy and cared for. Stephanie kept track of her eating and bathroom habits, and shared updates so we could adjust her meds. I loved the detailed daily updates and photos. I have the next visit booked already!”
“Andria's care for my two little kitties went far and beyond my expectations. First time I've used a pet sitter and first time my kitties have been left alone. Love that Andria started with Rover as a pet parent before she began as a pet sitter. Boy, does she "speak cat!" I did not know she'd be sending pictures (many!) and she knew exactly what to report to keep me as a cat parent in the loop and calm. Over the course of 8 days she made fast friends with my kitties and followed my instructions perfectly! You will be well pleased if you choose Andria as your pet sitter.”
“Kelly was great with our two cats! She handled the older cat’s medication well and was patient with the shyer 2 year old cat. We really appreciated getting pictures and updates on the cats while we were gone. Couldn’t ask for better peace of mind while on vacation”
“Very patient with my cat! He is very shy but extremely loving. He doesn't do well with new people and Rozalyn took the time to make him comfortable during our time away! She is amazing!”
About: As much as I love all animals, I am unable to watch your sweet kitty in my home as my husband is quite allergic. However, I have no issue dropping in at your own home to love on all the babies!
“Kelly was great! She was always on time and was super flexible with accommodating a last minute change we had in our travel plans. She sends updates on her visits on how our pet was doing. I would definitely recommend her”
“This was our second time having Rylan sit for our 2 cats. This was a much longer trip, and we knew our kitties were in great hands and everything would be taken care of. Loved the updates and the photos!”
“She was amazing with Beans. Love the daily pictures. Super thoughtful, brought in some packages that were left out in the rain for us. Very happy with the service.”
“Valerie was outstanding! I have used Rover for years, and she is by far the most exceptional caregiver I've had. Valerie was highly motivated, resourceful in befriending my cat and kind. I was incredibly impressed with Valerie!”
“Paula was exceptional with our cats! She followed our instructions and was very responsive. She has extended experience caring for special needs kitties and has done an absolute incredible job with our ckd Salem who rewuired a lot of care. All the cats felt comfortable around her and always came out to greet and eat (even the shy ones). We are very grateful for Paula!”
“Lyndsy did a great job taking care of our cat Camber. She followed our instructions exactly and provided detailed notes and photos. We could tell she really loves animals. We highly recommend her and will book again on our next vacation!”
“Mandy was excellent with my two kitties! They were well fed, well brushed, and well taken care of the whole time we were away for the holiday! I loved the daily pictures of Mandy having play time with the kitties. Would most definitely hire her again.”

“Our Aussie/Border collie had a delightful time at doggy daycare every day for a week. Jessica and her husband were very communicative, prompt and sent photos. They were patient working through our dog's anxiety on the second day (when he realized this was not just a one-off play date), and he ended up happy and comfortable the rest of the week, playing all day with their resident dog and another friend. We'd recommend them as excellent dogsitters and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.”
“Cassandra was wonderful ! Stella loved her. The photos Cassandra texted us are beautiful. She is a professional at photography. Awesome. We will be back ! Thank you !”
“Kelly has been great with Coco! Because she has other dogs, Coco had the opportunity to socialize and have a ton of playtime. When I would pick her up in the evenings, she was so mellow which is saying a lot for an energetic puppy. Kelly kept me updated with pics of Coco throughout the day. We will definitely use her again!”
“Cate and Tim are awesome! They agreed to a quick meet and greet the day before watching Riley so when I dropped her off for the day she was right at home at their place. Riley made herself right at home and had lots of fun with the end result being a happy worn out pup. I got updatesnduring the day and great pictures of Riley that I could see that she was having a good time. I would definitely habe Cate and Tim watch Riley whenever I'm back in the area and need a sitter!”
“Mike is the most amazing dog sitter ever he takes such good care of all the dogs in his care. My Finn is very shy and has medical needs and Mike has been just the best about helping with everything so thankful we found him. Finn loves comimg to see his friend Mike.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Annie had another great day at Em and Arlo’s. Annie was a bit nervous today, but Emily, Arlo and Flynn made her feel right at home. She loves exploring and the wonderful shady spots to rest.”
“Thank you for caring for GiGi. It was also nice that you had a nice fenced back yard. You live in such a convenient place, a couple minutes off of the Highway and 10 minutes from major shopping and great restaurants.”
“Luke is so committed to giving great care to your dog. He keeps them safe, hydrated, listens to your requests & helps them to get exercise & socialization in his fenced yard. Rachel will “love on” your pet too..He sincerely cares & will communicate well with owners.”
“Tofte had a great time at Bethany's! She provided great detail on his end-of-day report card and had lots of pictures that showed that he enjoyed his day with her.”
About: I've taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I can help with basic training and manners, as well as lots of "walkies" and couch time! Whatever your fur baby prefers, they will be loved by my family and I. I currently work from home, so I am available to your babies 'round the clock. If they need to be let out at specific times or take timely medications, I am available for that as well! I have a fenced yard with a very friendly male, beagle mix to keep your dogs company. I can also crate or separate easily if necessary! I can come to take them for a walk or let them out, no matter the Minnesota weather! I can provide pictures/videos, and updates as often as you'd like. They will be loved by family and I, and treated like one of our pack!
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs for most of my life, and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. My own dog recently passed away, so I truly understand how much love, attention, and patience every dog deserves. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I follow your dog’s routine closely so they feel at home. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I can administer basic medications if needed. Flexible schedule, including weekends and holidays” I’m happy to help with: • Doggy Day Care • Overnight care If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and will care for yours like their own, I’d love to help! I have a full-time job, but I’m typically home by around 1-3PM each day. My husband works part-time in the evenings, so there is usually someone home most of the time. This allows me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. I’m available for afternoon/evening visits, overnight care, and flexible on weekends. In my home, I have a backyard for fresh air and potty breaks, but since it is not fenced, dogs are always kept on a leash and supervised at all times to ensure their safety. Inside, I make sure they are comfortable, well-rested, and get plenty of attention and playtime.
“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.”
“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!”

“Jenny has been so helpful during midday walks with my French bulldogs. She has followed all instructions to the letter and frequently asks questions or updates me if issues arise. She was even able to accommodate me on a weekend when I need to be gone long hours. I am very happy to have found her on Rover!”
“Monika was great! The dogs warmed up to her right away and her experience made it possible for me to enjoy my family’s visit from out of town and not worry about my babies,”
About: Between my own family and my wife's, I've had alot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've house sat for elderly dogs and raised and trained our own puppy. I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there.
