“Another great visit with Lan for my Labradoodle, Buddy. As always, she was great, taking special care of my little guy while I was away for nearly three weeks. Really appreciated her flexibility when we needed to adjust our return date. It was so good to know he was in good hands and having so much fun playing with her dog, Lucy.”
“Maria was a great dog sitter for Sawyer and we’d definitely recommend her! We haven’t used Rover much before, and she made us feel really comfortable with how responsive she was and how much effort she put into sending us picture updates throughout the weekend. Sawyer came home tired and happy, so we know he got lots of love and attention while we were gone! 😊”
“Megan was the greatest auntie our dog could wish for! She is very sweet, helpful, and organized. We got daily updates and pictures that were really fun for us to read and look at at the end of our days. Definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a trustworthy and fun sitter!”
“My dog Charlie had a great time with Doc and Heather. They provided daily updates about how he was doing with pictures included. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Charlie was in good hands. He must have had a good time because he came back happy and tired.”
“My meet and greet with Betsy was warm and inviting . She made me feel at ease with leaving my three dogs with her. It’s my first time using rover and didn’t know what to expect, but I can sense Betsy is passionate about caring for pets/animals. Communication was smooth and Betsy was prompt to respond each time. I’m thankful Betsey was able to take all three dogs, she updated me routinely with pictures of the activities they did for the day. I would for sure reach out to Betsy again. The dogs enjoyed their stay and had plenty of exercise, stimulation, cuddles and attention. I know my dogs would love to return again. Thank you Betsy and Mark!”
“Huxley had a great time with Annette, when we decided on a last minute stop in Minneapolis on our road trip to take in a Twins game. Annette was a great communicator, and if we lived in the area, would definitely use Annette again!”
“Jailene was fantastic with my dog Riley. She sent regular update, photos, and videos. He stayed over the 4th of July holiday, and Jailene had great questions beforehand to make sure he was comfortable.”
“Madigan had a great first visit with Sarah and her crew! Will definitely consider working with her again given the great communication and updates before and during the stay.”

“Our dog Keela is happy to ‘vacation’ with Rachel. This was a repeat visit, and it was easy to see that Keela is a happy camper at her house. Rachel is an excellent communicator, the daily check-ins are much appreciated. Until next time…”
“Kiirsten was a great communicator before and during her care of my old, blind dog. I was confident that the dog was in a good place, which made my vacation stress free. Easy drop off and pick up. The experience couldn't have been better.”
“Jordan has been watching our English bulldog Marge here and there throughout the year. Most recently he watched her while we were out of the country for two weeks. He always takes great care of her, sends us regular updates, and is flexible when travel plans change. Marge loves staying with Jordan, and we love having a great sitter for her!”
“Aimee and Robert were great with a last minute booking for our nervous girl. In the middle of moving it was so nice to know Ruby was taken care of. She came home relaxed and happy.”
“Amanda and Leif was absolutely wonderful! They welcomed Boba right into her home and even let him sleep on the bed, which he loves and helps him feel totally comfortable. He got plenty of walks, lots of playtime with her little boys to keep him busy, and he came home tired out, happy, and clearly very well-loved. Amanda was also super communicative and sent lots of photos throughout his stay, which really put us at ease since it was his first time staying with her. We definitely will be using Amanda and her sweet family for future stays!”
“Jordon and Melisa are wonderful, and their kids are very sweet with our pup! First time finding sitters for our “new to us” golden and I knew she would have such a great time with this family. I think she’s bored at home now! Jordon and Melisa sent photos and updated multiple times and I know our sweet girl was in great hands.”

“Best in the business! Amanda was prompt, caring, and my cats and rabbit LOVED her. She made me feel connected to my pets every single day. I feel so fortunate to have found her. I will definitely book her again!”
“Jerome was an awesome petsitter for our shy cats! He and his wife Linda, who is also a cat lover, did drop in visits daily while we were out of the country for 14 days. They were super reliable, even during a big snowstorm, always sending pics and updates. I had no doubt my kitties were being taken care of, and they made extra effort to try different things to get my scaredy cats comfortable with them. And it worked! They had a lot of fun playing with Jerome and Linda and getting scritches every day. Came home to happy kitties.”
“Krista did a good job. She gave Evangeline space when she was expressing being upset, probably upset about me being away. I with Evangeline had not been hissing at Krista, but she's calm not that I am back home. Krista was consistent at sending reports and photos everyday. Overall she did a good job.”
“Christy is so great with my cats. They are entertained fed and cared for while I am gone. It is a relief to know Christy is there to look after them and make sure they have what they need while I am gone. Thanks so much Christy. The cats already can't wait for me to leave town again.”
“Sierra did a great job of showing up on time and caring for my kitty. I was really comfortable with her during our meet and greet, Peepers was too so I knew it would be a good fit. I will definitely look for Sierra’s availability next time I need to travel. Thanks!”
“Sonia was AMAZING! Our cats are usually a little scared of new people but after the second visit, they both came out to get pets from her. Sonia was very communicative, kind, and really loves animals. I recommend her to any cat owners, and I will definitely use her services again. 10/10”
“Anna took very good care of our cat while we were out of town. She sent great pictures and notes about how she was doing, and was quick to respond. Thank you Anna!”
“We really appreciated Abigail’s thorough check ins during our trip! It was very apparent that she spends quality time with the pets. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Tanya was friendly, punctual, and reliable. She sent me the cutest photos of my kitty while I was away and communicated with me when there was an issue with my home alarm. I would definitely trust her with my Xochitl again.”
“Gabrielle took very good care of Sadie and Maggie. Two weeks are a long time to be away from my cats. So getting daily updates and pictures of my girls from Gabby was a nice treat. Overall, my first experience with Rover and Gabrielle was very favorable.”
“Tara was amazing! She sent really comforting messages and photos to me everyday I was on my trip. I could tell my cat got lots of pets and play time to keep her going interaction-wise through the long week I was out of town, something that was super important for her well being and Tara really did a great job on that front! I would definitely trust her with my cat’s care again in the future.”
“Jessica was very attentive to our care instructions and made sure to spend time playing with all 3 of our cats. She even cleaned up around our litter robot so we wouldn’t come home to a mess. Definitely recommend her!”
“Jessica was fabulous! I can't say enough about how prompt, communicative, and accommodating she was with our cat. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was just right, and her updates gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I’m incredibly thankful for her care and will absolutely be using her again without hesitation!”
“Brooke took WONDERFUL care of my Roo! She is an excellent, considerate communicator, sending detailed updates of Roo’s activities. Roo was happy and relaxed when I returned. THANK YOU, BROOKE!!!”

“We had a great experience with Sarah! We had to find a last minute cat sitter for a week, and was not disappointed with our choice in Sarah - we didn't even meet in person, but she was prompt and super communicative about her visits. Lots of photos and we were assured that our two cats were well-cared for. We will book with her again next time we need a cat sitter!”
“She did a wonderful job with my guinea pigs. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of when I was gone. I was nervous about leaving them for an extended period of time as they are older guineas pigs, but she did better than I could have expected. I would highly recommend”
“Alisha was great. She was helpful and understanding during an especially difficult time for me and when my plans had to change. Her communication was excellent and she gave my kitty the attention she needed.”
“MIriam did an incredible job watching Taro while I was away. I was nervous because he get's quite anxious but she did so many things to keep him happy while I was gone - lots of cuddles, brushing, put on videos for him to watch, etc. She kept up with all the different instructions I left and I would 100% recommend booking her!”

“As always, my dog had an amazing time with Kara and Adam! They are so sweet and she always is exhausted when she gets back to me. Her kids are so kind to Jovi and I always look forward to seeing all the pictures Kara and Adam take! Thanks again!”
“Our dog, Khota, has gotten really attached to Kira but we're not surprised because she's great with him, knowledgeable and very dedicated to her work. We have the utmost confidence in leaving our little, four legged family member with her and will continue to have her watch Khota for the foreseeable future.”
“Lydia does an amazing job caring for our puppy! We started bringing Riley to Lydia when she was about 10 weeks old for the couple of days a week we needed to work outside of the house. Riley always came home happy and worn out. She got plenty of fun, playtime, and naps throughout the day and Lydia sends lots of pictures so you can see how your pup is doing!”
“McKenzie is the best thing that’s ever happened for my reactive pup. He is able to go play with other dogs and flourish in her care. She is also skilled with medically needy pups and flexible with her scheduling. The absolute best.”
“Sarah is great! Dogs were happy and well cared for, even had a long walk. The picture was nice to get in the middle of the day. We’ll keep her on Ge list of sitters for next time”
“Always takes excellent care of Loki. Dave really does it because he loves it, and that is really obvious in the way he treats Loki, and the way Loki reacts when he arrives at Dave's house (tail wagging and bursting with excitement).”
“We met Takenya for doggie daycare, and our dog had a wonderful day! Takenya LOVES dogs and it shows. Remy immediately took to her and the several photos and videos she sent showed how comfortable he was in her home and with her. He came home happy and tired🥳 Thank you, Takenya for caring so deeply and communicating so well!”
“Big thank you to Nathan and family for taking Lincoln today. So happy to hear how comfortable he became today. He's a bit of a handful as you know, so thank you for all you do to make him feel anxiety free.”
“This was our first time using Roover, and Rachel made the experience smooth and stress free. Our dog had a great day with her, and Rachel sent lots of updates and pictures!”
“Thank you, Noelle, for being so caring with GiGi! I’m glad that she could enjoy your huge fenced yard and was able to chill at your house. Thanks for the pictures. It is true that she felt so comfortable with you so leaned up against your leg and loved to be petted. :) I WILL CALL AGAIN FOR GIGI’s DOGGY DAY CARE IN THE FUTURE!”
“Kevin had the time of his life! We’ve tried commercial daycare facilities and he gets super overwhelmed, but he instantly felt at ease here. He was a pooped pup when he got home and clearly had a blast - he even made some new friends! We loved getting all the updates from Emily during the day too - it was so fun to see what he was up to and reassuring for us that it was a great fit, especially since it was his first time. We will definitely be back!”
“Lindsey was great with communication and sent photos. She was patient as Hogan was a bit nervous but super thankful she is comfortable with larger dogs. Would use her again for sure!”
“Leah O, was very caring and positive with my dog & was so attentive. Thank you providing play time in your wonderful back yard and for “lovin’ on her” while she was inside!”

About: We LOVE dogs and have a city sized house full of people that love giving them attention! We have 2 school age children but are home full time in the summer with a good sized fenced backyard and our own friendly pups, Oli and Lulu. We go back to our full-time jobs as educators on August 25, so our calendar reflects our school year availability (mostly weekends and some school breaks!) I (Kara) grew up always having a dog in the family, and as soon as I could, I acquired one of my own. I've learned that dogs need people, but people need dogs just as much. All this to say, we can't imagine a world without these furry little companions! With many attentive people in our household, your dog will never have needs unmet. Whether it be snuggles, toys, pets, walks, playtimes, food... be assured we can handle it! We can't wait to meet your dog! We both work in education, so our summers are very open & flexible and offer so many opportunities for dog walks, dog parks, pet cuddles, etc. Once the school year starts, our calendar reflects our weekend and school break availability! We have a fenced back yard and get on many outings with our own high energy dog. We do on long walks daily and often to the off leash dog park (if your dog is licensed in Minneapolis). We have a friendly cat that mostly keeps to herself around dogs, but she does not allow other cats in the home (so we are unable to board cats.)
“Kayla was a life saver for me this past week! I typically work from home but was traveling for work - so Kayla came over during the workdays to take Barley for a walk. She was flexible, responsive, and loving towards my two-year-old golden. She even offered to bring Barley a raincoat when it was raining one day the days! I will definitely be using Kayla again on my next work trip!”
“Robert is absolutely amazing! It has made a huge difference in me and my dogs lives and training. I am super busy, but he is great with working around my schedule and leaving detailed reviews/updates for me to review later. I have a hard time trusting people with my baby but his incredible growth has helped me immensely.”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, a bearded dragon, and a whole lot of fish. I have a soft spot for spicy cats as I have one of my own. Currently, live in a space where I can't have a dog but if I could it would be a loveable rescue who loves to play and to go on walks. I've taken care of many friends and family pets over the years and excited to make some new furry (and scaly) friends! Through the summer my schedule is very flexible. I work at an elementary school as a reading tutor so during the school year I am available late afternoons/evenings and weekends. I am organized, outgoing, and friendly and as long as you have detailed instructions I feel confident taking care of your pets in your home.
About: Hi, I’m Lydia — dog mom, belly rub expert, and professional sniff-spot scout. I’ve spent 15 years learning what dogs actually want (hint: it’s all of the above), and a lifetime growing up with dogs and cats of every personality. Energetic or chill, young or old, I’ve got them covered. My daily and weekly routine revolves around pet care. My dog is my first thought when I wake up and the last thing I worry about before bed. I have an abundance of parks near my home that I can take your fur baby to for both exercise and play. I love a good adventure.
About: Hello fellow pet lovers! My sweet girl Sophie passed away this year after 14 loving years together. While I’m not quite ready for a new pup of my own a certainly miss caring for dogs. Maybe I can help you out there! I am a pet parent to all critters under the sun! I have extensive experience with dogs from young pup to seniors with medical needs including all sorts of breeds, large and small. I’m very active and happy to take your high energy pup for long walks (or even runs!) or just cuddle up with your couch potato. I also have extensive personal experience with cats. I have two kittens and have cat sat for friends and neighbors since I was in middle school. No matter how velcro-y or aloof your babies are Id love to keep them happy and healthy. Beyond dogs and cats I have owned (or cared for extensively) birds (cockatiels), reptiles and amphibians (bearded dragons & painted turtles), pocket pets (hamsters, guinea pigs & rabbits), freshwater fish, and horses! My wide expanse of knowledge means even if I haven’t cared for your exact critter yet I’m confident I’ll be able to pick up any new information easily and will make sure they are well cared for. No critter will scare me away! PLEASE NOTE: At this time I am not looking for any new regularly repeating weekly drop ins/walks, so if you’re looking for a new daily walker I’m probably not your best choice, however if you need the odd occasional visit, a sitter while you’re out of town, a sub for the week, or something similar I’d be happy to help! I work from home which grants me a lot of flexibility during the morning and day for walks or drop ins. My evenings can get a bit busy but with enough notice I can absolutely work in further care as well. I’ll be sure to adhere strictly to any instructions you give me. I also will be sure to send updates and pet pics every time I visit and you’re welcome to text me at any point for an update. I’m an extremely clean and tidy person and will leave your home better than I found it.
“Tony was super friendly, had great communication and was awesome with our girls on their walks. Wrigley and Griffey were stoked when Tony came for their evening walks. My in-laws and my husband and I have nothing but great things to say about him! We will be using him again! Highly recommend!”
About: Lifelong love for animals and years of personal experience caring for dogs, cats and birds. Little professional experience but wishing to expand. I have had an innate care for animals since I was a child, it comes naturally to me. I have experience with a variety of animal needs and maintenance. Working as a full-time remote attorney means I am naturally home throughout the day, allowing me to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I structure regular breaks around frequent outdoor walks, scheduled feedings, play sessions, and attentive companionship, ensuring pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection without long periods spent alone. I prioritize safety by maintaining a pet-proofed, secure environment and strictly following every owner’s exact instructions regarding feeding, medications, and temperament. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I practice vigilant outdoor leash control, double-check all secure entryways, and send regular photo updates to build complete trust and peace of mind.
About: Growing up with many different pets made me a lifelong animal lover and a dependable caregiver. What sets me apart is the attentive, compassionate care I give every animal—whether that means keeping puppies engaged and safe, being patient with senior pets, or making sure each pet feels comfortable and loved. My goal is always for pets to feel happy and secure, and for owners to feel confident they’ve left their companions in great hands. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available for care at any time—early mornings, late nights, and mid-day visits included. I’m happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I closely follow all provided instructions to ensure each pet’s routine is maintained and both the pet and owner feel comfortable.
“Kiirsten was absolutely amazing with our process! She was kind, attentive, and made sure she got plenty of exercise and love. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Rob was filling in while our other dog walker was on vacation for two weeks. I highly recommend Rob! He’s like a dog whisperer :-). Very intuitive, patient, flexible, timely, and an excellent communicator. Charlotte enjoyed her walks with him. He truly will be missed.”
About: Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I am a huge animal lover and have grown up/cared for dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with mostly Norwegian Elkhounds but had one Carin terrier find his way to my family. Currently I have 1 Norwegian Elkhound named Bear who is about 6 years old and my best friend. My boyfriend and I recently adopted 2 cats from the animal Humane Society named Jack and Lucas. I have been pet sitting since high school and have taken care of cats, dogs, rabbit, fish and hamsters. When I am not with animals I can be found hiking, reading, knitting or playing video games. I am currently making my way through the Nancy Drew series and hoping to finish a scarf by Christmas time. I try to stay active and like taking my dog on long walks especially in the summer. I am currently go to school full time. Which allows me to prioritize caring for my pets and lets me fit a wide ranging of scheduling needs. My pets currently run the home. They have free reign of the entire house and nap, eat and sometimes even potty where ever they like.
