“It was our first time booking with Monica and she was so wondeful! She kept us up to date with our dog. She was prepared and read our care plan before we dropped off our dog, which I dont find that common with other sitters. She was also very accommodating with our drop-off and pick-up time. And best part is that our Aussie was happy from all the pictures Monica sent to us. She's on our top to book for future sitter! Highly recommended!”
“Would absolutely recommend Kaitlyn! She took fantastic care of our Bernedoodle while we were away, and we loved the daily updates. Booking, communication and pickup and drop off were super easy. Thanks for taking great care of our pup!”
“Mike is great with dogs. It is clear that he and his family just loves them. We were a bit afraid that our big, energetic dog would irritate his little one, but Ruby is very calm and just let Orion run around him. Mike was very accommodating with pick-up and drop-off times too. Going to book him again now.”
“Jenny was a great sitter for our little guy. This was our first time using Rover so glad it went well. Always sent me a daily picture & update, which was super nice! Our pup seemed right at home and loved by her and her family. Thx!”
“Loki had the best time staying overnight at Jessica’s. There were plenty of other dogs for him to play with and we were given updates and pictures throughout his stay. I would highly recommend and definitely go back. 5 stars!”
“Lan was an amazing dog sitter. This is my first time using Rover, and to be honest, my first time leaving my dog with anyone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a bit nervous. Lan was friendly and helpful and sent pictures of Zoey about an hour after I left which help put my mind at ease. Over all a really good experience.”
“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%!”
“This is our first time using Rover and it could not have gone better! Brock and Laura were so nice, understanding, and supportive. We got multiple updates to reassure us, the dogs got so many walks - rain or shine. I will definitely be using them again!!!”
“Absolutely amazing experience! Communication was prompt, worked with me when initial plans changed and sent some really great pictures of my dogs blending with them. Highly recommended and will definitely rebook!”
“Katie is great with our two dogs and very accommodating to our schedule when needed. This was our second time with her and we plan to use her again if possible. Thanks from Phoebe and Dexter for a great weekend!”
“Dynette is Izzy's favorite pet sitter! She gets so excited to see her and stay with her!! Dynette always has great communication and updates during Izzy's stay. We get to enjoy our get aways knowing Izzy is having a special time being loved on by Dynette!!”
“They were very friendly and took great care of my dogs. One of my dogs is very shy but was still able to open up to them and trust them very quickly. I also appreciated being given regular updates and photos of how they were doing.”
“Robert sent photos and videos everyday. He really picked up on our dog's personalities. We will definitely use him again and recommend him to others. The dogs had a great time!”
“Great stay as always! Suki runs into Ali's house like she owns the place and happily greets her family like they are old friends. This always make us feel comfortable leaving her and we never have to stress about her while we are away.”
“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.”

“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.”
“Thank you so much for your loving care of my kitty! And for sending the photos and notes! They were much appreciated! And thanks for watering the plants—they look great! HAPPY WEDDING!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Andria! She took such good care of Bori. We were able to have a stress free vacation knowing she was so well taken care of. We loved all the updates and photos! And can’t wait to book again with her! Andria was very responsive and asked great questions at our meet and greet!”
“Hannah was our first Rover sitter, and she provided excellent care for our cat Petey! He’s a new pet in a new house (he chose us) and she definitely made him feel at home while we were away. Loved the pictures and updates we got everyday. Would recommend Hannah to anyone looking for care in the area 😊”
“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!”
“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.”
“This is our second time asking Julia to check on our cat while we were away, and she took such excellent care of him! He’s so excited when she stops by, and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing he was well looked after.”
“Valerie was great with our two kitties! Our boy cat is typical not trusting of new people and can be hard to work with, and she was very patient with him! Our girl cat became best friends with Valerie!! She was very thorough with her duties, had great communication and I know our kitties were well taken care of!”
“Paige did a great job taking care of our 2 cats. One of our cats is very shy, but very sweet. Paige was patient with her and got her to come out of her shell before the end of our trip. She was good about communicating and sending picture updates. We will definitely have her back!”
“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Makayla was absolutely wonderful—super sweet and thorough when she came to meet our cat and go over all of the instructions. While we were away, she checked in every day with thoughtful notes and the cutest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought in some packages that were delivered, which was such a nice extra touch. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we’ll definitely be booking her again. We’re already planning to have her help with dog walking, too. Highly recommend!”
“We had been putting off finding a cat sitter for awhile because we don’t leave our furry babies with just anyone. But we were very confident leaving them in Rylan’s hands. She is pleasant, friendly and a great communicator. She also sends lots of great pictures. We have already hired her again! Thanks Rylan!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I've been a cat mom for 10 years, currently to Salam and Binx. In that time I've navigated health issues, anxious cats, and cats with behavioral challenges, so I know that no two cats are the same and that the shy one under the bed needs a different approach than the one who greets you at the door. I also volunteered at Caring for Cats, where I worked with cats of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. What that means for you: I read body language, I don't force interaction, and I give your cat space to come to me on their terms. I'm comfortable with medications, special diets, and litter box routines, and I'll follow your instructions exactly. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can time drop-ins around your cat's routine. You'll get daily photo updates so you always know how they're doing. Your cats are family. I'll treat them that way.

“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 !”
“Philip was awesome! He took our pup at the last minute and communicated throughout the planning of his visit since we were from out of town and booking on short notice. He even offered sights to see in our RV travels as we left! We will definitely book with him if we come through town again. Don’t miss your chance to have Phil care for your furry friend. He’s a gem!”
“We dropped Agnes off with Emily today for some Doggy Daycare. This was our first foray into using Rover and wanted to be sure that Aggie was happy and as a good fit for Emily before boarding her with Emily next week. Agnes had the very best time! Emily kept us in the loop during the day on Agnes’ exploits. We had been nervous about trying to find someone that would care for her as she has a lot of energy can sometimes be nervous around new people and surroundings. She was up in her seat as we drove up to Emily’s house and was excited to play. After a full day of fun, she is exhausted. Emily is so caring and devoted to all the dogs she cares for and it is so great that we were able to find her. We look forward to many more fun filled days for Agnes in the future with Emily. Thank you Em!”
“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!”
“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: 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!
“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.”
“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!”
“Our pup loves going to Sarah’s! He always has a blast playing with the other dogs and it’s very clear he’s being very well cared for. Sarah also sends me regular photos and updates, which I love. We’ll definitely be bringing Cosmo back (again) to Sarah’s!”
“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: 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! Between me and my husband, there is usually someone home. I’m typically home by around 1pm each day. My husband works part-time in the evenings. 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.
“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.”
“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.”

“Monika did great walking our dog every day for a week while we were on a vacation. We had complete trust that our dog was in good hands. She also went the extra mile by giving our other dog some attention while she was at our house.”
“Fiona’s first outing with Valerie went really well. Fiona got good exercise and Valerie worked with her on manners and over reactivity. Valerie gave us good feed back and videos. We will continue with Valeria and look forward to Fiona’s progress.”

This will allow for safety and prevent issues. My yard is fenced in and my house is clean and safe.

“Our dogs all loved Paula during the meet and greet and we could tell she is a kind person and a big animal lover! She was very accommodating around our schedule. And she took a lot of pictures and provided a detailed update on our older dogs and our new puppy. Highly recommended!”
“Gavin did a SUPER job with our 2-1/2 year old red lab, Ruby! Gavin obviously loves dogs, and Ruby took a shining to Gavin. Gavin always arrived promptly and sent us great photos of Ruby on her walks! We definitely plan on asking Gavin to walk Ruby in the future!”

Carolyn is an excellent and prompt communicator, which I really appreciate; my dog always looks so happy when Carolyn sends me pictures from their walks.

About: Your pets are part of your family, and they deserve the best care possible. That's exactly what I give every animal I look after. I'm a proud cat mom to Salam and Binx, and I've been caring for other people's pets for years. I've dog sat for my family's goldendoodle for several years and regularly look after friends' cats. I also volunteered at Caring for Cats, where I got hands-on experience with cats of all personalities. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit visits and walks around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking for cats and small to medium dogs in and around Lake Elmo. You'll get daily photo updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I truly love everything about caring for animals, and I'd love to meet yours. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit visits and walks around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking for cats and small to medium dogs in and around Lake Elmo. I don't host pets in my home, so all of my care happens in yours. Your pet stays in the environment they know best, with their own bed, their own routine, and none of the stress that comes with a new place. In-home visits: Fresh food and water, litter box scooped or potty break handled, medications given as directed, and real time spent with your pet. Play, brushing, or a quiet lap sit, depending on what they're into. I don't rush in and out. Dog walking: Leashed walks at a pace that fits your dog, whether that's a brisk loop or a slow sniff around the block. I keep a close eye on other dogs and traffic, and I always clean up. While you're away: I'm happy to bring in mail and packages, adjust blinds, and keep an eye on things so your home looks lived in. I leave everything exactly as I found it. Before every booking I do a meet and greet so we can go over your pet's routine, quirks, medical needs, and anything that makes them nervous. I want to know where the leash lives and what your vet's number is before you ever leave. You'll get daily photo updates, and I'm always reachable if something comes up.
About: I grew up with a lot of pets. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, and for the last 3 years I've been doing pet care along with child care for a well respected small company in Northern MN. I love working with animals and I'm very good at taking care of them, whether that's short term, long term, or just for a day. I'm currently not working outside of pet sitting, and I try to be very active so daily walks are a must have along with trips to the park and indoor play time. I keep a consistent sleep schedule so I can easily cater to the schedule of your animals. I live in a townhouse community near a lake with a walking trail and a large open field perfect for longer walks with the pups! When I'm in a clients home, I will communicate with you first to learn if you have a schedule for the pets you'd like me to follow. Then I will make sure their needs are met and have plenty of play time in and outside so they get their exercise in between naps and cuddles.

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. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.
