“Lisa & Drew and their young boys took excellent care of Buck. Lisa communicated above and beyond with updates on how Buck was acclimating to a new environment as well as cute pics of Buck playing with the boys. I highly recommend Lisa & Drew if you are looking for a trust worthy and responsible pet sitter for your pet.”
“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!”
“I’m so grateful that we found Aish and her family to care for our Bailey while we traveled. She’s extremely responsive to messages and we loved getting pictures of Bailey while we were gone. We will definitely be returning in the future , knowing that our pup is in good hands while we are away.”
“Sean was great! Sent us a couple of videos of our dog playing and running around in his big fenced in yard! We could tell he genuinely cares for our pet as if it were his own. Will definitely book with Sean again!”

“Best. Rover. Sitters. EVER. We are so thankful we found Morgan and Jennifer for our sweet old snuggly beagle. They treated him like he was their own fur baby. Snuggles and treats and playtime. We got plenty of updates and videos. And when our family had a medical emergency during vacation, Jennifer and Morgan were more than willing to accommodate us however they could. Thank you!! We are so glad we have a place for Olaf to stay where he is happy!”
“Marill was fantastic with our Maverick boy. She was flexible when we got stuck in the snow, Maverick blended in will with her dogs and was well cared for. We will book again. Thank you!”
“Becky is the best! My oldest dog loves going there and gets excited as soon as we pull in the driveway, and she welcomed our newer younger nervous dog who seemed to do well! We are so grateful to have found her!!”
“They were very good about sending pics of my dog. Also, very accommodating with drop off & pickup of my dog. My dog can be very anxious and did well with their very laid back animals.”
“Shelby was terrific with my dog. It was her first time away from us in a long time. Shelby sent lots of pics and took her on lots of trail walks, which she loves. She seemed very happy and we will definitely hire Shelby again to take care of our dog when we are away!”
“Alecia and Todd (and their family) were wonderful with mini-goldendoodle, Ole, for a week+ over the holidays. They took great care of him, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing that Ole would be loved (and be a part of family life) while we were gone.”
“Cheyann was amazing! Our puppy has a lot of energy and she loved the attention and play she received with Cheyann. I appreciated the photo updates and great communication along the way. We’ll definitely book again in the future! Thanks so much!”
“Beth was great to work with. I have a high anxiety dog and it went much better than I hoped. Beth was calm and reassured me it would be fine and it was! It was nice to be able to enjoy my vacation and not spend it worrying about our dog.”
“Dee provided my dog with the best care while boarding her. She sent me pics and let me know how she was doing which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Dee to anyone looking for dog care. She is the greatest!”
“Marina was absolutely amazing! I received daily pictures and updates, and my fur baby was so comfortable the entire time. Marina and her family treated him like their own, giving him plenty of playtime and cuddle time—he was definitely spoiled in the best way. Her kids were wonderful with him too, and I think he fell in love with them! He’s a big boy but very gentle and loving, and it was clear he felt right at home. I’ll be booking with Marina for all my future needs and recommend her 100%. She is truly incredible—don’t even overthink it, just book her!”
“Trudy took amazing care of my dog overnight. She was responsive and professional. I appreciated the photo and video updates she sent me while I was away, keeping me connected. Her dog, Archie, was a perfect playmate for my Charlie. This was my first experience using a Rover professional and thanks to Trudy and Archie I drove away with peace of mind that my Charlie was in for a safe and fun over night. I highly recommend Trudy to all seeking pet care. Thank you Trudy!”

“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.”
“This is the second time Lauren came to visit my cats while I was out of town. She still had all the notes from last time 3 cats all with special diets. I felt good knowing they would be well taken care of. Thanks Lauren!”
“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!”
“We have used Whitney multiple times and have always had great service! She responds promptly, has great availability, and most importantly takes very good care of our cats. I definitely recommend her!!”
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!!
“Robyn does an excellent job! We have 3 cats with an involved routine and had very lengthy and specific instructions. Robyn is intelligent, communicates well, responds quickly, and follows detailed instructions well. She also has a calming presence, vibe, and speaking voice, which is incredibly helpful for cats. She knows how to respect 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 and as pet parents, we are relieved to have someone like her to care for them while we are away.”
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.
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet owner who has had dogs my entire life. As an educator, I’m looking for summer work doing something I genuinely enjoy. Taking care of animals is exactly that for me. I’m available throughout the summer with a very flexible schedule, so I can accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, or extended care as needed. I’m very active and love being outdoors, which makes me a great fit for dogs who enjoy walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, energetic play, or just companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their needs and personality. I look forward to meeting you and your pets. As mentioned in my description, I'm an educator so my availability is currently super flexible throughout the summer. You let me know what you need and I'm likely available to make it happen. I know how important the safety of pets are to you and your family. With two dogs of my own, I know how much time and thought goes into deciding who you will trust to take care of your canine family members. I assure you that I will do everything I can to provide a loving and caring experience for your pets while you are unable to be with them.
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 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: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had dogs and all kinds of small animals since I was very young, and I genuinely can’t imagine life without them. When I’m not spending time with my own pets, I’m usually caring for someone else’s—whether that’s pet sitting for friends and family or working my full-time job caring for horses. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, and I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own. After all, I’m here to be your pet’s professional best friend! I’m available every day from 9:00am-8:00pm for drop-ins and walkings. I may be available earlier or later on weekdays and possibly on weekends depending on my schedule. I’m able to feed/water your pet, let them out into a fenced backyard, play with them inside or outside the house, provide minimal grooming, administer medications, and take them on a walk. I also may be able to stop by multiple times a day depending on the time.
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: When your pet stays with me, they are family, and treated as such. I have experience with elderly and hospice pets as well as special-needs pets, young puppies, medication management and administration (liquid, pill, and injections) and some training experience as well. Well versed in pets with special care requirements (i.e. animals with anxiety, reactivity and/or other behavioral challenges). Because I work from home, I can be with your pet throughout the workday, and can easily step away to give your pet potty breaks and attention. I prefer to do house-sitting based pet care, as I’ve found that animals are most comfortable in their home environments. I am also happy to water any plants that may need it, as long as instructions are provided. Happy to work with large animals, amphibians, fish, and reptiles as well. Do note that house-sitting based pet care includes light house maintenance/cleaning as well such as vacuuming and laundering the guest sheets used. I like to leave the houses I care for as neat (if not neater) than they were upon my arrival. I work from home and can easily step away to care for your pet. When pet sitting, I generally don’t leave the house I’m sitting at for more than a few hours at a time, so your pet has reliable supervision and company. I am pet CPR and first aid certified through Red Cross. I am a very cautious and risk-aware person, always mindful of keeping doors and gates shut and ensuring the environment I’m pet-sitting in is safe and secure.

“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.”
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.
“Carrie and Mark are so amazing with Ollie! He loves going to their house for daycare, in fact he didn’t want to leave tonight! They love having him and take such good care of our boy.”
“Leanna took wonderful care of Nala. She was prompt and clear with communication, and very easy to work with. My booking was somewhat last minute but we were able to work out the details without any hassle. This was my first booking with her, but I will always consider booking her again should the need arise in the future!”
“Chelsie was amazing with our dog, Frankie! He’s nervous with new people, so she let him tag along behind her and nap nearby, and her kids were very soothing and gentle with him. She also sent 3 photos throughout the day. I would absolutely book her again! Thanks, Chelsie!”
“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.”
“Aish and family are amazingly friendly people who really care about what they do and truly love dogs! I immediately got pictures and videos of them and they were so happy! We will definitely use them again!!!! 🐾💕🐶🫶🏻🐾”
“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: 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!”
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.
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Sarah and her wonderful family. From the moment i dropped him off, I could tell he felt safe and comfortable with them, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have them watch my dog again- he will definitely be back!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Perfect sitter who truly understands and follows specific care instructions. Rachel did exactly what we asked, and as a result, everyone—the dog, the sitter, and us as owners—was happy. I highly recommend her to anyone who may be unsure whether their dog can be properly cared for.”
About: I work from home full time and have the capability and desire to have a cuddly fur baby around, snuggles, walks and lots of love a must. I like watching 1 dog at a time but if they are from the same family, please feel free to reach out if there are 2. I am able to be flexible. Since I work from home full time I am available to watch your fur baby during the day, night, boarding and on weekends if needed I would take them on walks when I could during the day, snuggles, some play time and rest when needed. Plenty of food and water, no fenced in back yard.

“Kaitlyn did an amazing job with Kylo. She kept us updated and took so many great pictures of him while we were gone. It kept our mind at ease and was one less thing we needed to worry about while on vacation. Would highly recommend her for all your dog walking and dog sitting needs :)”
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. I have worked with the local rescues for the past 14 years and dedicate my life to giving every dog the best chance at finding their loving forever home.
About: I have 5 amazing dogs of my own, 1 pitbull, 2 American Eskimo mini and 2 Pomeranians. I had 2 liter of puppies from my dogs (1st liter was 10 pups, 2nd liter was 5 pups) and was able to raise them well for their furever home. I run a lot, so if your dog needs to exercise, you can count me in. Or simply needs a rest day, or any kind of special needs, I’m your girl. I work full time and have my own babies to care for, but I’m a super dog mom so I’m pretty flexible and prepared for anything. With my own experiences of owning 5 dogs, and raising 15 puppies, I feel like that should speak for itself. I do have a fenced in yard, I love dogs and I want them to be happy while they're with me or their own homes.

“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!”

About: Hi there! My name is Teresa!

About: We are a cozy, warm, loving family of four who love animals! I (Jenny) rescued my first dog, Summit-a black lab mix many years ago. He was with us over 14 years and we loved him so much! We just recently adopted a kitten a little over a year ago. She is a tuxedo house cat named Smokey. Drop-in visits and dog walking are what we are able to offer as of right now. We may bring boarding back into the mix when Smokey is a bit older. Jenny works part time and has time for drop-in visits as well as dog walking. If allowed by the pet parents our kids (10 and 12) would also love to help out! We play with Smokey in our home with balls, springs, socks! I am happy to pet and play with your pet.

About: I currently work at a dog kennel so I have lots of dog experience! I have also had dogs my entire life from big Labs to chihuahuas! I currently go to school for 2 hours in the morning so my schedule is very very open. I am also only working part time. I crate all of my dogs so that is not and issue for me! I also have experience with food aggression and lots of different types of reactivity.
About: I’ve worked with dogs of all ages as a receptionist at a busy doggy daycare and animal hospital, where I got to know pups of every personality and need. I have basic training in puppy care which I use positive reinforcement techniques to help puppies learn good behavior and socialization, making their experience fun and stress-free. For senior dogs, I provide gentle, patient care tailored to their health needs and comfort, including administering medications and adjusting activities to their pace. Every pup are treated like they’re my own with love, patience, and a playful spirit. Therefore, my personalized approach ensures every dog feels safe, happy, and well-supported while you’re away. I’m fully available to provide attentive pet care throughout the weekdays and on weekends. While I’m actively working on building my design business, my schedule remains flexible. I will inform you immediately if any changes occur—until then, I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! *As a reminder, please make sure you and your pup is okay being around my small 12lb pup and having my husband around.* All dogs will safely be in my secure, fenced yard where my 3 year old Min Pin mix loves to play with new friends. In clients’ homes, I follow instructions closely, provide exercise, companionship, and maintain a clean, comfortable environment.

About: I have 3 years of pet sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and lizards.

I’ve cared for up to 3 dogs at once and have experience with pets ranging from puppies and kittens to senior animals (dogs 1–14 years old, cats 1–17 years old). I’m also comfortable administering medications since my own pets require them. Experience with breeds ranges from English Mastiffs to small terriers. I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am free most days of the week, and have a very flexible schedule. I make sure to treat not only your pets, but your property with respect and privacy. Your pets safety and happiness is one of my main goals with all of my visits.
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: I have had and taken care of dogs for over 30 years! I have always been a dog lover in particular but also have plenty of experience caring for cats as well. I work as a PCA weekdays 9:30-4:30 but have the flexibility to do drop in visits with my client during my work hours. I believe that our pets are family members and always treat them as such. Lots of attention will be given. I guarantee it! I work Monday through Friday 9:30-4:30. I am available before, after and during my shift. Open availability on weekends and I am available on most holidays. I treat pets as family. Lots of love and attention. I am not one to have a no pets on the furniture policy that's for sure!

“Marina was absolutely amazing! I received daily pictures and updates, and my fur baby was so comfortable the entire time. Marina and her family treated him like their own, giving him plenty of playtime and cuddle time—he was definitely spoiled in the best way. Her kids were wonderful with him too, and I think he fell in love with them! He’s a big boy but very gentle and loving, and it was clear he felt right at home. I’ll be booking with Marina for all my future needs and recommend her 100%. She is truly incredible—don’t even overthink it, just book her!”
“Trudy took amazing care of my dog overnight. She was responsive and professional. I appreciated the photo and video updates she sent me while I was away, keeping me connected. Her dog, Archie, was a perfect playmate for my Charlie.

I highly recommend Trudy to all seeking pet care. Thank you Trudy!”
