“Everything about this stay was fantastic! Cate and Tim were VERY accommodating and took really good care of our Sadie. The yard and home are set up for dogs to be safe and have fun. Cate is super responsive and flexible. Sadie enjoyed hanging out with their nice family and very friendly family pet. Thanks Cate!”
“Jenny and fam were amazing! I felt comfortable with her from the moment we showed up at her house. They loved on Mocha and she looked like she adjusted quickly and was part of the family. The pictures she sent made me smile. Thank you for providing such a loving and safe home! We will be back.”
“We never worry when Suki is with Abbie and her wonderful family! She is always loved and well taken care of. We get great pictures and updates along the way and flexibility with pick up and drop off times.”
“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!!!”
“This was our 2nd time using Dynette and she was FANTASTIC again!! My dog HATES thunder and an unexpected storm pooped up! Dynette was so loving and patient with her! I cannot thank Dynette enough! My dog is so comfortable and loved when she is there! Dynette is the best!”
“Very happy with the care provided by Nicole and Derek. Lucy seemed relaxed in their home from the first meet & greet. I felt very comfortable leaving her in their care. Lucy is a bit of a velcro dog which has affected her appetite when we've had to go away in the past. Nicole assured me that her appetite was fine, another confirmation that she was comfortable and relaxed with this family. Thanks for taking such good care of Lucy!”
About: I am a teacher turned stay at home mom on a 3 acre homestead in the city. I am very responsible, prompt and give detailed care. I would love to match the schedule you keep your pet on at home! I am naturally communicative and clear and love the outdoors in all weather. Our whole family loves to care for your pet! I have loved and cared a menagerie of pets over the years--4 dogs from puppy through their senior years, many cats, birds, and a bearded dragon. I am my friends' favorite pet sitter because the whole family is genuinely excited to love your animals! I have plenty of experience in puppy and senior dog care. Can't wait to meet you! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available most days to board your pet! Our senior dog just passed away, so we would welcome your animal to our spacious 3 acre homestead. I thoroughly enjoy taking dogs on walks and playing fetch. I can easily crate your pet if we decide it is best.
“Jessica and her husband were great. My dog has separation anxiety, but she was in no hurry to leave their home. And, she's been relaxed since her stay with them. Communication was great. I will definitely use Jessica again!”
“John and Teri did a fantastic job caring for our dog. They are great communicators and we know our dog was well loved while he was staying with them. We would not hesitate to book again and highly recommend to anyone considering!”
“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!”
“Paula and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. She took great care of our dog and sent pictures to us throughout the stay, so we could check in and see how everything was going. We would happily recommend her to others! Thanks, Paula!”
“Jenny is one of the best rovers we have ever had. Extremely thoughtful, caring and engaged. Our 4.5 month old puppy demands a lot and she was up for the task by ensuring he was taken care of and more! She provided very in depth updates with plenty of pictures. We are lucky to have someone we can trust to take care of our pup when we are away.”

“Paige gave thorough updates, and was very detail oriented. My cats were in a much better mood than they usually are when I return from a trip. She clearly gave them all the attention they needed in my absence. Would book 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.
About: My lifelong passion for animals began on our family’s organic dairy farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin, where I learned the dedication required to care for animals of all sizes. Over the years, we have opened our hearts and home to our friends' pets, gaining extensive hands-on experience with everything from energetic dogs to gentle bunnies. As a homeschool family, someone is almost always home to provide continuous love, attention, and structured care. We spend plenty of time outside so your pet will have lots of opportunities to exercise and spend time in the sun. Your pet will enjoy full access to our house and a large, securely fenced yard perfect for safe outdoor exploration. Located in a peaceful, dog-friendly neighborhood, we offer a warm, reliable, and attentive home-away-from-home where your pet will be treated like family.
“Mark did a remarkable job...so remarkable that I think KodaBear misses him! He sent pictures or videos with every visit and gave him all his medications with ease. I will, without question, be asking him to take care of KodaBear again in the future. Thank you, Mark!”
“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 have had cats in my life since I was a child. I have always loved them! One of the first things I did when I was out on my own (that was a long time ago!) was to adopt a kitten. I have been a cat mom ever since. My husband and I currently have 2 cats, Charlie, who is quite a character, and Reese, who is shy and sweet. I have experience with kittens, senior cats, and those with special needs. I would love to treat your kitties with the same love as I give my own.
About: I have spent my whole life with dogs, caring for our family dogs over the years and dog sitting for friends. I enjoy going on long walks and would love to have a buddy join me, big or small. I’m a graduate student and tend to be available either before 9am or after 5pm. I spend a good amount of time working from my apartment but sometimes have to unexpectedly run into the lab. I’m typically more free during the days on the weekend. I live in an apartment, and will not be able to host dogs here. the apartment is dog friendly so there is a chance i could bring a dog over temporarily, but not overnight. (though I wish i could!)
“Lance was super friendly and when I booked for 3 drop-ins, I seriously only expected to see my cat hiding the whole time.....but to my surprise, on the third day, my timid boy came out of hiding for some pets, purring the whole time! I was ecstatic to hear that, since Apollo is slow to warm up to new people!”
“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!”
“Carolyn is absolutely amazing. There were a couple of technical problems through rover and she addressed them right away and was able to get everything straighten out. She fills out full descriptions of what she does and puts me at ease know my cat is well taken care of. Lots of pictures too! Carolyn was great ! Can’t recommend her enough.”
“Gaolah was wonderful. She did a meet and greet without hesitation. I have a 15 year old dog that can’t stay in her crate for extended time so Faolah came two different times and let her out to potty stretch her legs get a drink and some food. She communicated well, did as I asked, good with Crickett. I will cerise her again!”
“Rory exceeded every expectation I could have had while cat sitting. I am an over-protective cat mom and didn’t worry, not even once about my babies. He went above and beyond- I couldn’t have asked for more or better. I absolutely, 100% recommend Rory- u will not be disappointed.”
“Dakota appears to have checked all boxes requested! Cats are older and pretty inactive, but i see no problems at all. Communication was steady and reliable. Thanks Dakota! Planning on using her in the very near future if she is available.”
“Celia has done an amazing job watching my cat Thelma when I am out of town. She always leaves prompt updates, responds quickly to any notes or questions and takes the best pictures of Thelma which are always a treat to see when I am away.”
“Sue is a very attentive, responsible, and loving caretaker for our two kitties. She took care to listen to what our two fur babies need, updated us everyday about them, and spent more time with them than what was expected of her. We’ll definitely rehire her in the future.”

“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.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Karen was so kind and welcoming to our very energetic pup! She has great attention to detail and took the time to truly get to know our dog and his unique personality and needs. Getting updates and pictures of our dog having the time of his life with Karen and her family made us feel so at ease knowing that he was in great, loving hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Karen in the future and our pup can’t wait to go back! ☺️❤️”
“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 !”
“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. 😁”
“Jessica and Jacob were amazing sitters! Very friendly and professional. My pup went to their house for daycare for a few days and had a great time with their family. Will definitely book again!”
About: My pet/house sitting adventures have taken me across the country, from Oregon to Hawaii to South Carolina. I have cared for a variety of breeds and personalities, from high-energy pups to mellow seniors, and I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique quirks and routines. Our family absolutely loves animals, but we do not have any of our own. We love welcoming special guests into our home and giving them 100% of our love and attention while they’re with us ❤ We also enjoy caring for pets in their own homes, where they may feel most comfortable. I'm attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and special care instructions, and I’m comfortable with everything from daily walks to medication administration. We’re a blended family with one child (age 14) who lives with us half the time, and two children (ages 8 and 4) who are here full-time. They're gentle and very respectful of animals, and they love to help when families and pets are comfortable with it. Depending on your preferences (and your pet’s comfort level), my kids may join me for some or none of the time. We’re flexible and will prioritize what helps your pet feel relaxed and loved. Thank you for your time! I’ve worked remotely for 14 years, which gives me the flexibility to provide care either in my home or yours. I’m typically available on weekdays and many weekends, too. We do not have a fenced-in yard, however, our family loves to spend time outdoors and go on walks. We would love to include your pet(s) in our adventures, if you're comfortable with us doing so!
“Our dog Aggie had a great time with Julie! When we booked, she asked if Aggie would be ok having another dog around. We said Yes and the two Cockapoos had a wonderful day together. We appreciated Julie being willing to take on a second dog since we were asking last minute.”
“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.”
About: I have cared for animals ever since I was a child. I am a caretaker by nature after years of working in healthcare. My significant other is a dog lover himself and has experience training labradors and helps out with animal care a lot since he works a lot from home in the garage. I work part-time 3 days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) otherwise I am home with my 2 year old and 13 year old boys. I also have a playful four- year-old yellow lab female. She has become very socialized and loves having her fur friends over. We do have a fenced in yard. I am a stay at home mom so perfect for giving your pet all the love and attention they need. I am also available most weekends. I have a fenced in yard. We have a three year-old female yellow lab who is fixed. I can also leave her home with the family if care is needed at your house, I do have a one year-old who is attached to my hip most of the time.
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.
“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.”
About: Hi there! I am an avid animal lover with 17 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities, breeds, ages, and energy levels. I have had 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own, 12 foster dogs (not at the same time!) and have cared for many animals through Rover. I offer drop-in and dog walk services in the Hudson/Stillwater area. I work remote and have plenty of flexibility and availability to help fill in when you want a little help caring for your fur family. No upcharges for holidays either!

I have engaged in a variety of dog training courses with my own dog so have no problem maintaining the rules you have in place for you animal/s.
“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!”
“Excellent service! Lorena was extremely warm and attentive with our puppy, who is only 11 weeks old. We felt at peace leaving our furry baby with her. She is also very knowledgeable about puppy development and gave us the requested tips. Will definitely request her services again.”
“Caleb is a wonderful care taker for pups! He took time to understand our dog, and sent updates. Our pup takes time to build trust as a rescue stray, and he let Caleb touch him on day 1. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own pets, ensuring they’re happy and healthy. I’ve looked after my grandma's cat multiple times and other puppies and kitties for friends. I stand out from other sitters because of my deep passion for animals and my hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs. I love to give extensive play-times when possible, and lots of pets! Whether it’s administering medication for senior pets or providing a nurturing environment for lonely kitties, I’m committed to giving your furry friends the best care possible. I'm currently working part-time as well as attending university, so my schedule may be busy, but I am more than willing to work around it to accommodate for proper pet care. My Sundays are always open and Fridays are usually open as well. Let's work something out! I live in a safe, well-secured apartment complex beside a golf course, so plenty of room to give walks if needed. I also have two kitties with separate rooms, based on if your furry friend needs company or just some alone time! I am committed to ensuring that every pet is happy and healthy and feels safe in its environment.
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and abilities through volunteering and pet sitting. While I’ve only formally trained my own dogs, I’ve gained plenty of real-world knowledge by working with everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a gentler touch. I'm patient, reliable, and genuinely passionate about making pets feel loved, safe, and happy while their humans are away. Whether it's a long walk, some playtime, or just quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs—because every animal deserves to feel at home, even when they’re not! I work full time but fully remote from my home office so I am available for morning, lunch, or after work walks or feeds when you are rushing to get to work or travel. I typically do not care for pets in my own home as my dog is picky about which dogs are around and I don't want to put anyone at risk. I am happy to come to you!
“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!”
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’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so caring for them is second nature to me! From bouncy puppies who need patience and consistency to sweet senior pups who enjoy a slower pace, I love them all. I’m happy to help with basic training, stick to routines, and make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and tail wags while you’re away I’m in school, but I make plenty of time for pets! I can fit walks, playtime, and care into my daily and weekly schedule, so every pet gets attention, love, and fun while I balance school. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfy wherever they are! In your home, I follow your instructions and make sure they have food, water, and lots of love. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, cuddles, and fun so every pet feels safe and cared for

About: I grew up in California on a cattle ranch. I've been caring for all types of animals since I was young. I absolutely love pets and promise to treat yours like my own. I currently lost my 15 year old coonhound, Nelson and want to spend time with your companions to fill the void Nelson left behind. I love to stay active and miss my walking companion. My neighbors and friends like to rely on me for help with their pet needs including weekend stays, morning and evening walks and making sure everyone stays on schedule with feedings. Since growing up on a ranch I have been conditioned to administer medications including shots to our animals. If you have a pet that is in need of attentive care while you are away, I am more than comfortable doing so. Friday -Sundays are free. My work hours are Monday- Thursday, 8am - 5pm. Weekends are best for round the clock care. I am used to waking up at 5 am to get a long walk in prior to work and coming home to immediately repeat that long walk. I prefer to stay in your home to care for your pets. I believe that when pet parents are away it is crucial to keep the pets in their same routine to reduce stress and anxiety. I love sticking to a schedule and routine.
About: The two loves of my life were my dog, Abby, and my dog Bronx. Abby was a Siberian husky and Bronx a 15” lemon beagle. Bronx was part of my life for 20 years and just recently passed. I honestly can’t imagine a life without animals in it, and one day I wanna be able to reflect back on my life, knowing that I did as much as I could to help as many animals as possible, which is why becoming a part of ROVER is so appealing. I have an incredibly flexible work schedule that will enable me to schedule my work hours around my hours caring for animals. I truly believe that animals are every bit as important as we are, and I think pet owners will be able to rest easy, leaving their pets in my care, knowing that their health and safety will be of the utmost importance to me! I have a two-story condo that they would be able to spend most of their time in with me. I also have a heated garage that I’ve converted into a safe and comfortable area for animals to play in. In addition to that, I live in Woodbury, literally surrounded by parks, full of walking paths that will be ideal for a dogs exercise. One thing I would like pet owners to know is that I’m not doing this for the money, I’m doing this because I’m newly single and alone and can’t think of anybody better to spend my time with than animals in need. I wouldn’t just be some dog watcher, I would be their friend that plays with them and loves being with them.
“Carolyn, does a great job. Emma loves her a bunch, is very happy to see her each time she comes to walk Emma. Carolyn is good at communicating about what is going on.”

Some pets require more attention than others and that’s completely okay! As long as you let me know I will be able to provide the proper care for your loved one.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 11. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! I’m also available for boarding as needed. I have a fully secure in dog area that is fenced in. I can also crate if requested. Dogs are also allowed on furniture and free to roam through my home.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Theo had so much fun with Karen and her family, and I loved the daily updates of their adventures! I highly recommend booking with Karen!”
“Everything about this stay was fantastic! Cate and Tim were VERY accommodating and took really good care of our Sadie. The yard and home are set up for dogs to be safe and have fun. Cate is super responsive and flexible. Sadie enjoyed hanging out with their nice family and very friendly family pet. Thanks Cate!”
“We never worry when Suki is with Abbie and her wonderful family! She is always loved and well taken care of. We get great pictures and updates along the way and flexibility with pick up and drop off times.”
“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!!!”
“Very happy with the care provided by Nicole and Derek. Lucy seemed relaxed in their home from the first meet & greet. I felt very comfortable leaving her in their care. Lucy is a bit of a velcro dog which has affected her appetite when we've had to go away in the past. Nicole assured me that her appetite was fine, another confirmation that she was comfortable and relaxed with this family. Thanks for taking such good care of Lucy!”
About: I am a teacher turned stay at home mom on a 3 acre homestead in the city. I am very responsible, prompt and give detailed care. I would love to match the schedule you keep your pet on at home! I am naturally communicative and clear and love the outdoors in all weather. Our whole family loves to care for your pet! I have loved and cared a menagerie of pets over the years--4 dogs from puppy through their senior years, many cats, birds, and a bearded dragon. I am my friends' favorite pet sitter because the whole family is genuinely excited to love your animals! I have plenty of experience in puppy and senior dog care. Can't wait to meet you! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available most days to board your pet! Our senior dog just passed away, so we would welcome your animal to our spacious 3 acre homestead. I thoroughly enjoy taking dogs on walks and playing fetch. I can easily crate your pet if we decide it is best.
“Jessica and her husband were great. My dog has separation anxiety, but she was in no hurry to leave their home. And, she's been relaxed since her stay with them. Communication was great. I will definitely use Jessica again!”
“John and Teri did a fantastic job caring for our dog. They are great communicators and we know our dog was well loved while he was staying with them. We would not hesitate to book again and highly recommend to anyone considering!”
“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!”
“Paula and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. She took great care of our dog and sent pictures to us throughout the stay, so we could check in and see how everything was going. We would happily recommend her to others! Thanks, Paula!”
“Jenny is one of the best rovers we have ever had. Extremely thoughtful, caring and engaged. Our 4.5 month old puppy demands a lot and she was up for the task by ensuring he was taken care of and more! She provided very in depth updates with plenty of pictures. We are lucky to have someone we can trust to take care of our pup when we are away.”
“Sunny had a great long weekend boarding with Gina, Wally and family. We were sent photos, videos and regular updates. We could tell Sunny was comfortable and having a fun time. Would love to find another time to have Sunny stay with her new bestie Wally!”
“Ali was great and communicated to us throughout our trip perfectly. She was very flexible, and Piper seemed to have a great time with her and her family! Would love to go back there again next time”
