“We were a bit anxious to leave our fur baby for an extended time - 9 days- when we went on vacation. I couldn’t imagine him being happy in a kennel with 100s of other dogs. That is why I’m so glad we discovered Rover and in particular Cheyann & Nicole. They were ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL with our little Ranger and treated him as if he was their very own. Each day we received pictures and texts about how his day was going and how he had adjusted to making friends with the other dogs that Cheyann was watching. It was obvious he was having fun and was being well cared for. I would definitely recommend Cheyann if you are looking for someone to watch your fur baby.”

“Gus had a great time with Cynthia and I knew he was well taken care of and loved. He also had fun playing with the other dogs there and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in good hands and having a good time while we were away. Would definitely return and recommend!”

“This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. It was a great experience. Lots of updates and pics and they are treated like their own animals. Will book again.”

“My cockapoo, Buffy, has separation anxiety. I wanted to find a better option to boarding her other than a kennel. I was nervous about leaving her with someone neither of us knew. Buffy and I had a meet and greet with Shelley prior to the scheduled overnight stay. I immediately felt comfortable taking with Shelley about my concerns. Shelley answered my long list of questions with patience and grace. Buffy's recent overnight stay went extremely well. Shelley sent updates and pictures during the stay. I feel I have found Buffy a home away from home. Buffy will have someone that will be there for her around the clock when I can't be. Which means less stress for both of us. Thank you Shelley.”

“Lisa and Drew watched my two dogs for 5 days. They took very good care of them - they are both on medications and needed a little extra attention. The little boys also enjoyed them as well. They were easy to contact and quickly responded to me. I would recommend them to watch your pets! Definitely a five star review!!”

“Carrie and Mark were great with our dog Sunny. We received daily picture updates and fast replies if we had any questions. They both seemed laid back and easy to work with! Will book with them again in the future 😊”


“Cindy was fantastic with our dog Oscar! She sent me updates and pictures which was awesome to have on our vacation to make sure he was doing well. Cindy went the extra mile and was flexible with our schedule. Would totally recommend her and would have her watch Oscar anytime (and we have three times already :)”

“Aish and family are absolutely amazing. We feel so lucky to have her in our network as a second home for Romeo when needed. She is caring, a strong communicator and a wonderful human being. 10/10 recommend!”

“First use of Rover, but Chelsie was a great introduction. She sent great pictures, enjoyed our dog and was very engaged in the pet having a good stay. Would recommend, we will be repeat customers.”

“Marill was wonderful to work with on a short notice need. She was patient and caring to our two dogs right from the get go and gave them the time they needed to feel comfortable in new surroundings. 100% will be using this service again and I can't thank her enough!”

“Shelby did an excellent job taking care of Talia during her stay. She provided daily updates and gave us peace of mind during our trip. We will definitely book with her again!!”

“Diane & Steven took good care of my aging sweet hound. Every day I received pics of Bart relaxing and enjoying his time. They took the stress out of leaving him behind. I highly recommend their care!!”

“Alecia and Todd are fantastic. We were a little nervous because we’ve had varying degrees of success leaving our pup with a sitter, but Alecia, Todd, and their family took great care of him. They went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable - he even made new dog friends at their house😁. Communication was a breeze and we received thoughtful updates throughout our time away. Hope to book with Alecia and Todd again!🩵🩵”

“Sean and his family provided a perfect home away from home for our two poodles. He was very responsive and gave updates and pictures. I recommend booking with him and will be returning for future sitting needs!”

“Morgan and Jennifer were amazing with my dog! They sent cute videos of him. He loved being there and was well taken care of. I will definitely be rebooking with them when I need to go out of town!”

“Our dog had a great time. Great communication, updates, photo made us feel very comfortable being away. This was our dog’s first time using a non neighbor and we will definitely use again!”

“Kaitlyn was great with our kitties while we were away. She sent us pictures and updates about them all, I appreciated having someone to depend on to take care of our babies.”


“Whitney was so helpful and responsive! I felt so comforted knowing my cats were in good hands while I was out of town. She did a great job of keeping me in the loop and sending lots of photos. The experience was fantastic!”

“Robyn does an excellent job! We have 3 cats with an involved routine with very lengthy and specific instructions. Robyn is intelligent, communicates well, responds quickly, and follows detailed instructions well. She also has a calming presence and speaking voice, which is incredibly helpful for cats. She knows how to respect a cat’s autonomy. I was impressed that she approached them in a way that lets them decide if they want to receive attention. She provides excellent notes and photos with each visit. We are relieved to have someone like her to care for them while we are away.”

“Avaiyah did a great job with our spunky and overly friendly dog when we went on a very last minute trip to see family. We had never done anything like Rover before and have only ever used the same boarder, so we were hesitant to try it out, but she made it so easy and we will definitely be using her again!”


“Lauren did drop in visits for my three kitties while I was out of state and she really helped relieve the anxiety that can come with leaving your fur babies. She gave updates every day with pictures which made me smile every time. I was very happy to see that all the kitties felt comfortable enough to come out while she was there.”

About: I have loved animals my whole life. growing up with dogs, cats, fish, and birds, I enjoy pets of all kinds! I have experience with both pet boarding and pet sitting! I have worked with several different families with multiple dog and feel totally comfortable with that. Going to the dog park is always fun but I know some dogs aren’t comfortable there. I also have lots of experience with cats and birds. My roommate is allergic to cats so they can’t stay at our house but I would be happy to come to yours. Walking pups is a great way to explore new neighborhoods. Through these kinds of experiences I have learned that it is always more fun to walk around and explore with a four legged friend. I work a pretty consistent schedule but I am lucky enough to be able to flex it. I can adjust it to meet your pups needs. I have a fenced in yard that I spend a lot of time in during the summer. There are no other dogs in the building
About: My name is Marill. I love all animals. I have been watching animals since 2006. I absolutely love dogs. Every pet I've ever watched I try to mimic their home behavior so there are no bad habbits learned. If they aren't allowed on the couch at home. I wont let them here. If they are working on commands I will use your verbiage and hopefully return them to you more trained then when they came! If you want them to have the best time ever and be on vaca too, I can absolutely do that as well with beach days and sleeping in, on my bed! I want your pet to feel happy and loved while you're away and I can always provide pictures and video's too if you'd like! I have had a lot of experience with dog behaviors, training and medications and am always willing to learn. I chose to do Rover because I no longer wanted to leave my older dog… then COVID happened and I lost all 4 of my hospitality jobs so I chose to watch dogs full time! Rover is just one more way to get my name out there, but this is all I do all day long and I love it! I own a boarding business that I run out of my home so I’m here all day every day doing what I love. So Rover is just a great way to get in touch with people that need their pet to be in a safe and happy environment while they are away. I have 6 dogs of my own. Ranging from 6 years to 1. All different play styles or all of them love to sleep too! I have everything your dog needs to feel safe, get properly socialized, learn in a group setting and really enjoy coming here every time. I love all the dogs I watch just as if they were my own.

About: I’ve taken care of cats as long as I can remember. I have owned cats my whole life. Currently own 3 male cats who they chose us as their family. If you are looking for boarding, I have a guest bedroom that I would free up for the cat in order to keep them separate as no cat is ever friendly at first sight.
About: I have had a love for dogs since I can remember. Growing up on a farm my first priority before school was to make sure all the animals were fed, watered and cared for. Your fur baby will be my first priority when I wake up and for their entire visit with me. I like to take dogs for a long walk through the park or to the dog park when they come visit. I always ensure plenty of exercise and a safe play environment. I always have plenty of time for evening walks, playtime and mental enrichment activities. The dog park is always a must during your pets visit with us! I have a heeler mix rescue that gets along with any dog, him and I go for a walk everyday and would love to take your pup with us! I always make sure they are treated as if they are my own!

About: I taught my cat how to sit! He probably forgot by now but I still feel accomplished haha! I’m comfortable doing nail clippings with cats who aren’t overly aggressive, as mine get clipped regularly at home.

About: Hi!! I’ve grown up with cats my entire life and absolutely adore working with them! I work patently and whatever is needed I can do that for you!! I have worked with lots of different breeds, personalities, and more. I am very comfortable all around! I’m open to anything needed such as medication, litter boxes or just play time!!

“This was Zildjian’s first Rover experience and it couldn't have gone better. Leanna was great and allowed me the opportunity to test put how he would do with a shorter than usual stay (4 hours). She was very accommodating and communicative. I could tell he liked her even though he starts out meeting new people a little in a vocal manner. He trotted right along side her into the house and the photos I saw of him playing with the other dogs showed me that he enjoyed his time. I would not hesitate to bring him to play again in the future!”

“Marill was just wonderful! She's clearly a dog-lover, and Ollie had a fabulous time at her house! He played all day with her other dogs (as is evidenced by the many great photos and videos she sent me throughout the day), and came home last night happy and exhausted. He slept 15 hours straight! The idea was for him to get some energy out, and let me get some work done - so mission accomplished! I'll definitely rebook with Marill.”

“I am new to the area, and Chelsie was very close by. She responded promptly and communicated clearly. I brought Riley over, and Chelsie kindly met me at the car. I was having some difficulty with the long lead, and Riley immediately went up to her as if they had known each other for a long time. When Riley heard the dogs barking inside the house, she led Chelsie to the door, which was quite charming. I realized I forgot to mention something to Chelsie, but she responded right away. On my way back to pick up Riley, I got caught in traffic, so Chelsie graciously brought Riley out to me, and Riley happily got into the car without any issues. After we returned home, I noticed that Riley's card was filled out, and there was a detailed note, along with photos of Riley's day, showing that she had gone for a walk and played with her dogs. Overall, I would rate the experience as excellent, and Riley will definitely be visiting again.”

“Carrie and Mark are amazing with our little guy Ollie! He plays with the kitty Bennie, and gets lots of walks and play time in! He loves it so much there he runs right to the door without a second glance at me!”

About: My husband and I are former dog foster parents and love meeting/spending time with new dogs! We have two resident (foster fail!) dogs: Ace, a shy pitbull who LOVES other dogs and Tesha, a rambunctious tripod who LOVES people. We especially love older dogs in our house but are open to dogs 1 year and up. We have a fully fenced in backyard and a tie out available for outside play time. We have space to keep dogs separated if you have a dog that is shy or needs very slow introductions (we have a three level home). Our resident pups are allowed on our bed if they choose, but we have plenty of dog beds around too, and we do not allow them on our couch. We will do our very best to accommodate your pups needs and keep you updated on how your four legged family member is doing while you are away! I currently work from home and am able to take breaks to allow potty and attention breaks. My husband is also home most of the time and will be available when I am not. We like to do slow introductions to other dogs to ensure the comfort of our resident dogs and the visiting pups. We have the space to crate or allow roaming on separate levels if needed.
“My fearful dog has become comfortable very quickly with Emily. She doesn’t usually like strangers but Emily understands and doesn’t try to push her. I’m glad we found a good match for day care.”


“Ashi did an amazing job at watching my two dogs. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and video. They loved playing with her super sweet dog Simba and completely wiped each other out. Will definitely be back again.”

“I adopted my first dog and reached out to Shayla soon after. She responded quickly and I felt very comfortable bringing Gabi to her. Gabi had fun and they took great care of her. They also responded to my constant messages throughout the day checking in on her. I continue to use her for doggy daycare.”

“Ann has been an absolute dream dog sitter. I know my dog is in excellent hands and I bring him every week. I recommend Ann to anyone, even those like me that is extraordinarily particular about who watches my dog.”

About: I've taken care of and been around cats and dogs since I was young. We lost our Bulldog 2 years ago and have yet to fall in love with another rescue pup yet.

I take daily walks and would love to take your dog with me! We have a yard, but no fence, and a large park just down the road to get all the doggie energy out! I have 3 kids that all love animals and cannot wait to help with all the things!
“Steve and Diane watched Harvest for the first time recently. He had a blast and will definitely be contacting them for additional days. Thanks for taking such good care of my boy!”

About: I have taken care of all types of animals since the age of 12. Most recently I have been working for almost a year at a dog boarding facility. I also own 3 dogs and 2 cats who have always been around other animals and are all up to date on vaccines I work from home and work Friday and Saturday during the mornings.

About: Hello! I have owned all sorts of dogs from small bichons to big, old English sheep dogs. I have a fenced back yard, and also live close to a nice walking path. After losing my beloved Rosie after 15 1/2 years, I am ready for an occasional dog fix :) I am a retired teacher. When I am not traveling, I will have time to help with your dog-sitting needs. I look forward to meeting your dog. I have a fenced yard, and a home that we live primarily on one level. My home is pet-friendly and on a pretty quiet street.
About: I have loved dogs since I was a kid. Even though my parents wouldnt let us get one, I have had them in my adult years. Most recently a cavapoo. I'm the type to get down on their level and be their best friend through playing or snuggling. I work from home full time and currently live by myself. I have no pets at the moment so let me watch yours! If I have to drive my kids (dont live with me) anywhere, I could either crate your dog or bring them with on a car ride. My kids love dogs just as much as I do. I dont have any pets with me, but I've had one dog that was crate trained and another that had the run of the house when the family was gone. I'll make whatever works for your dog work for me.
About: Hi, I’m Becky. I’ve had dogs in my life for over 25 years. I have dog-sat for several friends, fostered for a dog rescue and I look forward to caring for your furry friend. I have a super friendly dog, Spencer who will be here for some play time, too. I am at home with my dog Spencer, so I will have plenty of time to play, cuddle, go on walks, and care for your dog. Your dog will feel loved and right at home here. I have a partially fenced yard, and a sturdy tie out for potty breaks, or just lounging on the patio. Inside there is room to play with toys, or just cozy up, and look out the window ( My dogs favorite past time) I will be sure to send pics and videos of your dog, so you can see how much love and attention they’re getting.
About: My family and I have always had pets and we love them dearly! Pets bring such joy into a home and we would love for your pet to join our family for a visit. I work from home and my husband is home multiple days per week so there is always someone to play and cuddle your pets! We have an energetic 5 year old who loves animals and is very respectful of their space! We have a large fully fenced in back yard so lots of room to run and play. There are two adults, a 5 year old and a 3 month old in the house so many opportunities for snuggles and play! We lost our dog last year to old age and my son would love to have some pets visit to play! Animals are allowed on the furniture but we will respect the rules you have in place for your pet while they are home.
“Christy was excellent with communication. We needed a pet sitter near Northfield while we attended our grand daughter Sr choir concert. Riley liked Christy immediately and was a happy boy when we picked him up. Thank you!”

“We really like working with Kelley as our dog walker the last couple weeks. This was our first time using Rover and Kelley's come over almost daily to take our puppy on a walk while he's recovering from an illness. She's been great to work with! She's very communicative about their walks and i love that she takes pictures of him while they're out and about. I can tell she really has a passion for pets and truly cares deeply for them. Thank you Kelley!!”

About: Hi I'm Connie! I've been rescuing and caring for dogs for over 25 years, but have been an animal lover my whole life. I spend the majority of my time working with dogs, I understand them very well and love being able to share my passion to help others. I love spending time with dogs, and getting to know them, and I am well educated and rounded when it comes to their needs and wants. I have lived in Faribault MN practically my whole life and know the town, it's people, and the surrounding area very well.

About: I’m a remote worker who has been lucky enough to love and care for my own cat, dog, hamster, and horse, as well as numerous other critters in kennels, barns, and animal shelters. I work remotely, so my time is very flexible. I’m happy to drop in for a visit or walk any time of day, rain, blizzard, or shine! I live in a quiet house with an eleven-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who loves playing tug-of-war and snuggling with his furry buddies. When I’m working with a pet, I always play off of the animal’s behavior and respect their boundaries. The health, safety, and cleanliness of your pet are my top priorities.
About: As a dog owner of two and lifelong animal lover, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and am familiar with everything from puppy energy to senior dog needs. I enjoy staying active outside and making sure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of affection — including great puppy cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority. I work from home and can work from anywhere so I have almost unlimited flexibility and can’t wait to meet and get to know your oets! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets’ schedules as consistent as possible with regular feeding times, walks, play, and plenty of affection. I know how important familiarity is, so I work to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I treat every pet like one of my own and understand the trust it takes to have someone care for them in your home. I’m respectful of your space, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

“Kayla was great. Was on time, took the pups on a nice long walk, sent a few pictures, and communicated with me when she picked them up and dropped them off. Will definitely be reaching out for here services again.”

“Robyn is beyond great with my dog! We started with a meet and greet walk that went very well but after my dog was shy without me there. Robyn was very good at helping Trusty warm up to her! She is always open to suggestions when it comes to me and my dog's needs. Now Trusty absolutely adores her! She's always very punctual, takes good pictures,and leaves good notes on her walks. When she isn't able to walk my dog, she has notified me far earlier than what I expected. I leave for work at 5:00 in the morning and I've had time to readjust before I leave. Hopefully recommended!”

Aside from that I’m free weekends to care for your babies while you take a vacation or a quick break! My pets are always supervised as they tend to be velcro babies. I take my pets out on a schedule as well as have a feeding schedule twice a day. Trips to the dog park are an option so long as safety is kept in mind, I tend to go when the park is less busy to avoid any potential fights. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds as they are family.

“We were a bit anxious to leave our fur baby for an extended time - 9 days- when we went on vacation. I couldn’t imagine him being happy in a kennel with 100s of other dogs. That is why I’m so glad we discovered Rover and in particular Cheyann & Nicole. They were ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL with our little Ranger and treated him as if he was their very own. Each day we received pictures and texts about how his day was going and how he had adjusted to making friends with the other dogs that Cheyann was watching. It was obvious he was having fun and was being well cared for. I would definitely recommend Cheyann if you are looking for someone to watch your fur baby.”

“Gus had a great time with Cynthia and I knew he was well taken care of and loved. He also had fun playing with the other dogs there and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in good hands and having a good time while we were away. Would definitely return and recommend!”

“This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. It was a great experience. Lots of updates and pics and they are treated like their own animals. Will book again.”

“Lisa and Drew watched my two dogs for 5 days. They took very good care of them - they are both on medications and needed a little extra attention. The little boys also enjoyed them as well. They were easy to contact and quickly responded to me. I would recommend them to watch your pets! Definitely a five star review!!”

“Carrie and Mark were great with our dog Sunny. We received daily picture updates and fast replies if we had any questions. They both seemed laid back and easy to work with! Will book with them again in the future 😊”


“Cindy was fantastic with our dog Oscar! She sent me updates and pictures which was awesome to have on our vacation to make sure he was doing well. Cindy went the extra mile and was flexible with our schedule. Would totally recommend her and would have her watch Oscar anytime (and we have three times already :)”

“First use of Rover, but Chelsie was a great introduction. She sent great pictures, enjoyed our dog and was very engaged in the pet having a good stay. Would recommend, we will be repeat customers.”

“Simply the best care takers for my dog! We had never left her with anyone but close friends so I was apprehensive. I received multiple updates and pictures… she was kept so busy with her favorite activities. I’m so grateful for the care and love they showed!”

“Marill was wonderful to work with on a short notice need. She was patient and caring to our two dogs right from the get go and gave them the time they needed to feel comfortable in new surroundings. 100% will be using this service again and I can't thank her enough!”

“Absolutely could not be happier or more grateful for Margarita and her family. The whole process was super easy and after the meet and greet I left feeling 100% confident that bubba would be in great hands. Then traveling back home from Sioux Falls, we get hammered by blizzard conditions. The last 20 miles before finally giving up, I could barely see the lines on the road, let alone any cars in front of me. So we pulled off and checked in to a hotel. Thankfully Margarita was SUPER understanding and reassuring. I was in a bit of a panic worrying about this and that, and the fact that Loki didn't have to be one of those worries was a huge relief. When we finally made it back the next day I could tell he wasn't super thrilled about leaving, which is always what you want to see. (And with that massive yard, I can't blame him!) Will definitely be "boarding" with her and her family again in the future! Super communicative with updates and photos to put our minds at ease.”

“Shelby did an excellent job taking care of Talia during her stay. She provided daily updates and gave us peace of mind during our trip. We will definitely book with her again!!”

“Diane & Steven took good care of my aging sweet hound. Every day I received pics of Bart relaxing and enjoying his time. They took the stress out of leaving him behind. I highly recommend their care!!”

“Sean and his family provided a perfect home away from home for our two poodles. He was very responsive and gave updates and pictures. I recommend booking with him and will be returning for future sitting needs!”

“Toby was well taken care of by Beth. He enjoyed her other dogs! She sent a video of Toby playing with one of her dogs and she also sent a couple of pictures which I really appreciated! All together it was a very good experience for Toby and me!”

“Morgan and Jennifer were amazing with my dog! They sent cute videos of him. He loved being there and was well taken care of. I will definitely be rebooking with them when I need to go out of town!”

“Great sitters, nice family. Our dogs had a great time there and immediately fell asleep when they got home after all the play time. Will be booking again with Liana and Dan in the future.”
