“This was our first Rover and at first we were apprehensive to book, however, Katrina and Drew did a great job taking care of our two dogs. We got to meet Katrina and Drew before booking and immediately knew our dogs would be in good hands. They are nice and easy going people which we naturally gravitated towards. While we were gone they sent us pictures and updates of the dogs. Would definitely recommend. We will use them again over a dog boarding place in a heartbeat.”

“Cynthia provided excellent care, lots of love and snuggles, and other fur friends for my Lily to play with. Beautiful setting in the country with a large fenced in yard. Safe and compassionate pet care. Highly recommended.”

“Aish did such a great job watching our dog Niko over the weekend. We got daily update pictures and messages which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was doing well and being cared for. Niko looked happy and comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

“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!”

“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.”

“We are so excited we found Becky to watch our dog. When we brought our dog back for a second visit she was so excited to see Becky, she hardly noticed her family walking out the door. Its a relief to know our dog enjoys staying at Becky's house and is well taken care of. She always sends pictures of her stay and give us updates along the way!”

“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!”

“Kelly is superb at caring for our dog. When we leave, our dog doesn’t eat well, but Kelly coaxed her to eat well! She gave Grace plenty of outdoor time as well as snuggles and attention. We love Kelly and our dog does too!”

“Cheyann is amazing! So sweet, kind, and gentle. I had no worries leaving my dog with her. I am using her again when I go out of town in a few weeks and again, I’ll have no worries. I will not hesitate to use her more or refer her to friends.”
“I’m so sorry this is late. You are always so good with the pups and you give me comfort knowing they are so well loved at your house! Thank you for always loving them when we travel!”

“This was our dogs first time not staying with family while we were away. Beth made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her and sent lots of pics and kept us updated on how he was doing! We’ll definitely book with her again!”

“Great communication and flexibility from Alecia and Todd. They treated my little girl like one of their own. My mind was totally at ease. Can't wait til next time!”

“Trudy, took fantastic care of our fur baby while we were gone. And she helped out in a pinch and we feel super blessed to have found her. ❤️ When we picked Nala up she acted her normal self and was calm which is always wonderful when you pick up your fur baby✨✨🌟 We will definitely be using her again.”

“Taya seemed to love her time with Becky and her family! She definitely had a blast spending her days chasing, and being chased by, Spencer!! Taya gave Becky a little scare towards the end of the trip, but Becky communicated immediately and we collaborated and Becky handled it well! Also, so thankful for all the photos she sent us every day, to help ease the separation. We were all missing Taya terribly - but it was wonderful to know she was fine and obviously happy.”

“Steven and Diane were great. We booked short noticed and they were so easy going with the schedule. They made sure to do a meet and greet to make sure our dog Breck was comfortable with their dog. They were very communicative and sent pictures to show all the fun Breck was having. He came back happy and very tired ! :) we will definitely be reaching out to Steven and Diane for future services”

“Dee is the absolute best Dog sitter! Our dog Luna is a high energy dog who is also very vocal and Dee does a great job caring for her. We know we don’t have to worry as she is being spoiled.”

“Lauren was wonderful! She accepted the challenge of the diabetic cat that needs insulin shots 2x a day. I have 3 cats that she took wonderful care of. I also received updates and pictures every time she visited. Even though I was on vacation getting updates made me happy. I will definitely be hiring Lauren again when I need a cat sitter.”

“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!”


About: I've taken care of a cat off and on semi regularly for the past 2 years. Playtime and cuddles are the best! I get along well with any animal I've met. Each animal has such a unique personality, and I'm excited to learn about them! Also when I was a kid I had hamsters as pets for about 10 years. During most weekdays I'm available anytime. Some Saturdays I'm available. But most Sundays I'm not available. I have a lot of flexibility and will work with your needs. I will be able to take care of your pets at your home or my home. Whatever is more convenient for you. I only ask that they are house trained and you bring what they would need of course. I will follow whatever guidelines you may have.

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!!

“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: 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: 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: 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 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: 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.

“Marill was very accommodating with a couple of my requests ( paw holding and Gabbys food need). I received a timely update. Gabby looked happy when i picked her up - easily going back to Marill to say good bye to her. Very reassuring experience. Even with several dogs running around in fenced area Gabby came home clean and fluffy. Very nice experience - marill has this down!”

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 was so kind, attentive, thoughtful, and such a joy to meet. Our Bindi was so well cared for — we can’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much for a positive, A+ experience! 🐾”


About: I've taken care of a senior Bulldog for 1 year. I ended up training him and living with him. He made major improvements in behavior for his owner. We became best buds. Also I've taken care of a cat on a regular basis for the past 2 years. Playtime and cuddles are the best! I get along well with any animal I've met. Each animal has such a unique personality, and I'm excited to learn about them! Also when I was a kid I had hamsters as pets for about 10 years. During most weekdays I'm available anytime. Some Saturdays I'm available. But most Sundays I'm not available. I have a lot of flexibility and will work with your needs. I will be able to take care of your pets at your home or my home. Whatever is more convenient for you. I only ask that they are house trained and you bring what they would need of course. I will follow whatever guidelines you may have. I'm currently retired and will be available to take care of your pet Monday-Friday anytime of day. Some Saturdays are available too. Not on Sundays though. I have an unfenced yard and a park nearby that I can play with your dog at. Most of the time we will be inside my 1 bedroom ground floor apartment. Since I am home and not working, I'll give them plenty of attention and care!
“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!!!! 🐾💕🐶🫶🏻🐾”

“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.”


“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.”

“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: 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 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.”

“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!”

“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: 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: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they are away. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I can help with daily walks, feeding schedules, puppy care, and giving lots of love and attention to make pets feel safe and comfortable. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I always make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and care in a safe and loving environment. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I always follow each pet owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and make sure they receive plenty of love, supervision, and attention while staying with me or during visits to your home.

“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!”

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.

I also have previous pet-sitting experience with repeat families who trusted me to care for their pets while they traveled, and I can provide references upon request. My previous experience as a pet sitter has provided me with references from past families who attest to my exceptional care and dedication in providing the best possible care for their animals during their absences.

“This was our first Rover and at first we were apprehensive to book, however, Katrina and Drew did a great job taking care of our two dogs. We got to meet Katrina and Drew before booking and immediately knew our dogs would be in good hands. They are nice and easy going people which we naturally gravitated towards. While we were gone they sent us pictures and updates of the dogs. Would definitely recommend. We will use them again over a dog boarding place in a heartbeat.”

“Cynthia provided excellent care, lots of love and snuggles, and other fur friends for my Lily to play with. Beautiful setting in the country with a large fenced in yard. Safe and compassionate pet care. Highly recommended.”

“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!”

“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 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!”

“Kelly is superb at caring for our dog. When we leave, our dog doesn’t eat well, but Kelly coaxed her to eat well! She gave Grace plenty of outdoor time as well as snuggles and attention. We love Kelly and our dog does too!”

“Cheyann is amazing! So sweet, kind, and gentle. I had no worries leaving my dog with her. I am using her again when I go out of town in a few weeks and again, I’ll have no worries. I will not hesitate to use her more or refer her to friends.”
“This was our dogs first time not staying with family while we were away. Beth made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her and sent lots of pics and kept us updated on how he was doing! We’ll definitely book with her again!”

“Trudy, took fantastic care of our fur baby while we were gone. And she helped out in a pinch and we feel super blessed to have found her. ❤️ When we picked Nala up she acted her normal self and was calm which is always wonderful when you pick up your fur baby✨✨🌟 We will definitely be using her again.”

“Steven and Diane were great. We booked short noticed and they were so easy going with the schedule. They made sure to do a meet and greet to make sure our dog Breck was comfortable with their dog. They were very communicative and sent pictures to show all the fun Breck was having. He came back happy and very tired ! :) we will definitely be reaching out to Steven and Diane for future services”

“Marine was super friendly and very responsive. She provided photos of our 4 lb yorkie almost daily during our 7 day vacation. This was a big step for us because we’ve never left our 3yr old dog with anyone before and the photos brought us great comfort knowing he was being well cared for. I feel very confident using Marine’s services again, we will definitely be calling her again!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Peg and Greg are absolutely wonderful! We are so grateful to have them take care of Sadie, and it’s clear she loves them, too. They provide loving, attentive care, and we always feel completely at ease knowing Sadie is in great hands. Their communication is excellent, and it truly feels like leaving her with family. Highly recommend!”

“We are SO thankful to have found Mary! Teddy was so well taken care of and loved while we were away. He got lots of walks, snuggles, and playtime with his new bestie, Izzy! Mary is absolutely amazing and we are definitely booking her for our next trip!”

“Took great care of my dog, Scout!! Took the time to find out about her needs, routines and behavior. I knew right away she would be in wonderful hands. Definitely would recommend!!”
