“Such a wonderful experience booking with Betsy! She was so sweet with our sweet Roland and would send daily pictures and updates! So lucky to find someone we trust to take care of our fur baby and will definitely book in the future!”
“River has looked after my 100+ pound lab/husky mix (Miko) 5 times now. It took me 3 separate Rover stays to find the right sitter near the airport before River. I fly out of MSP at least once every 6-8 weeks and she is always flexible with the drop-off and pick-up times, as flights are often delayed. Miko makes new friends while he's there and I enjoy the video and photo updates throughout the trips. Thanks River!”

“Trudy was absolutely wonderful! She was very accommodating and had the perfect environment for our pooch. We received daily updates which put us at ease and you can tell she cares deeply about our pet. Lola had a great time with her dog Archie and came home exhausted. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous, but after meeting Trudy and Archie we were instantly put at ease. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”
“Steven did an excellent job with my dogs. They were happy and healthy when I picked them up. He was really communicative and I appreciated the updates while I was away.”
“Robert did a great job with my geriatric dog. He got her to go for a longer walk than we've been able to lately, and was patient with her enough to accomplish that. He also sent lots of great pictures of how she was doing. Thank you for the great care!”
“Thank you Deanna for taking good care of Indy! Deanna sent me pictures, videos and updates of how Indy was doing. It gave me the peace of mind while going on a family vacation! Indy enjoyed his time with his new friends! Until next time! Thanks again!”

“We were very pleased with Catherine’s care for our dog Ruby. She was an unknown (besides reading reviews) when we booked her for a week and we were delighted that she sent photos and videos of Ruby’s interactions with the other dogs in her care. Communication is obviously one of Catherine’s strong points. We booked again right away!”
“We loved having our dog stay with Brenda and her family. We will definitely use them again. She sent pictures every day,veas an excellent communicator and my dog was playing with her dogs when I came to pick him up. A+ experience! Thanks Brenda!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my fur babies (2 Great Pyrenees) with Deborah while we were on vacation. You can tell that she has a lot of experience with dog care, and she was very attentive and caring with them. The dogs loved her deck and fenced in yard, and we loved the frequent updates and photos. We will definitely be reaching out to Deborah for dog boarding during our next getaway.”

“This was the first time I’ve hired Lindsay. She stepped in when I needed a last minute sitter. There was a lot for her to learn with complicated diets and 4 cats. She was fantastic! She Learned quickly, was thoughtful and caring. I was very pleased and would not hesitate to choose her again!”
“Jayda was absolutely wonderful. She visited my cat everyday and was so attentive. The many pictures I received gave me huge peace of mind, and it's clear that my cat LOVED her. I will 100% be hiring her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Paige was such a gift! We loved all the photo updates while we were away and it's clear Paige is quite the cat whisperer. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girls 🥰”
“Jacqueline did a wonderful job with our kitties. She was very responsive, sent fun photos and went above and beyond by watering all of my flowers/plants since it was such a hot weekend. The kitties were happy when we got home and I would definitely recommend Jacqueline for your sitting needs. I will be hiring her again when we need a sitter.”
“Andrea was phenomenal! It is evident that caring for pets is her area of expertise. I was apprehensive about hiring someone to watch our cat but Andrea put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying. We received daily updates of texts and pictures which we looked forward to seeing at the end of the day. I look forward to having Andrea take care of our cat in the future and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”
“Rob is a great cat sitter, he follows directions well and always attends to my Stella. They made friends right away. Ssure hope he’s available when I need cat sitting again! Thx, Rob😸”
About: My favorite animal as a child was cats and I was blessed to be able to have and care for my own cat (Tiger Stripe) at the age of 7. I have many friends, neighbors, and family who have trusted me with the care of their cat(s). I have taken care of multiple cats who require medication and have special dietary needs. I treat every cat as if they were my own and love to let them cuddle in my lap or wherever they're most comfortable.
“She was great in a bad situation where we were 4 hours out of town and our garage and front door entry wasn't working due to the cold. She thought to bring a warm battery, which I had not thought of.”
“As always, when I come home after Jennifer cares for Miss Greycie and Sir Charlie, the kitties are both happy and chill! They LOVE their Auntie Jennifer because they know she LOVES them. I highly recommend Jennifer! 💖”
“Leah was amazing with my cat, Lizzie! She sent daily updates with photos, and I came home to a very happy, loudly purring kitty. When Lizzie got sick unexpectedly, Leah graciously cleaned everything up and kept me informed right away—which was such a relief while I was away for the week. I can’t recommend Leah enough!”
About: I have been living with cats all my life and have learned that you need to let them come to you. Cats are a different breed obviously, but that goes beyond physical attributes, from what I have learned is cats like to test the waters before they jump in. With that being said I am a calm pool, I will sit and wait for hours until I can get an ounce of curiosity of someone's pet to show them that I'm there for them, which means at their own pace.
“Perla did a great job looking after our 2 cats while we were away on vacation for 11 days. She took time to send us photos every day and took great care of keeping up on their food/water/litterbox. Our cats are normally very shy and took to her immediately, I will 100% use her services in the future 😊”
About: I am new to Rover, but I have many years of experience in taking care of animals. In addition to living with cats and dogs for most of my life, I have also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society. In addition to pets, I also volunteered at the Wildlife Science Center with feeding animals such as foxes, raccoons, bobcats, a lynx, and skunks, and I had the opportunity to care for wolf pups at the International Wolf Center. I am recently retired, so my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and most evenings and am able to work around your schedule. I currently have two cats and previously had dogs, so I understand the importance of keeping them on a regular schedule. Being around animals gives me joy, so I look forward to spending quality time with your pet. I follow your instructions and make sure to follow your pet’s lead when interacting with them. I send you pictures, so you can see how your pet is doing when you are away. I can also check mail and water plants if needed.

About: I have taken care of many dogs/cats over the years whether they’ve been mine, my family’s, friends or some of the neighbors. Over the past few years my family has worked with Paws with a Cause to help train puppies to become service animals where I’ve gotten to watch these dogs enjoy learning while also being able to learn from them as well. I have decently open availability, I have week days available after 11am to take care of your pet as needed, the weekends can vary for availability. I live in a pet friendly apartment with one cat who is super friendly and social with all animals, I live near a park that is always a nice place to walk around.
“Amanda and Adam were so amazing with Winnie! Our dog is 1.5 years and has so much energy and they were able to tire her out! They gave frequent updates and photos! Winnie also had an upset tummy and they even made her rice ❤️ this has been our best rover experience yet!”

About: Caring for animals has been apart of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets and owned several of my own as an adult, so I know firsthand what it means to love an animal like family and what owners need when they hand them off to someone else. I'm comfortable with the full range of needs: puppies, senior pets, animals with medical conditions or special diets, and multiple pets at once. I've administered daily medications, followed strict feeding routines, and handled it all without missing a beat. Because I don't currently have pets of my own, I bring a lot of enthusiasm to every sit. Honestly, I miss having animals around and your pets get the full benefit of that. I take this seriously enough that clients have flown me across the country to care for their animals, which I think says more than anything else I could write in a bio. If you're looking for someone who will love your pets like their own and give you genuine peace of mind while you're away, I'd love to meet both you and them. Pet care isn't something I squeeze into my day. It is my day. I'm fully available and not juggling a rigid 9-to-5, which means your pets get consistent attention and care throughout the day rather than just morning and evening check-ins. Walks, feeding times, medications, cuddles, everything happens on their schedule, not mine. Whether you need someone for a quick drop-in or an extended house sit, I'm flexible and can make it work. I primarily care for pets in their own home because I believe animals are happiest in a familiar environment. Uprooting them from their space adds unnecessary stress, and keeping them in their element means they stay calmer, eat better, and settle in faster. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I stick to your pet's existing routine as closely as possible, follow all instructions to the letter, and keep everything clean and tidy throughout my stay. I send regular photo updates so you always know how things are going without having to ask. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy pet and a home that looks exactly as you left it. The trust you place in me when you hand over your keys and your animals is something I take seriously, and I make sure you feel that from day one.
“Lindsay did a great job of walking Gracie and her reliability and communication is spectacular! She was very detail oriented at our meet and greet answering all my neurotic pet owner questions along with helping me learn to navigate Rover. Gracie and I are looking forward to more walks with her!”

“Tilia did a great job with our pups. She was very kind and generous with her time and made it super easy for me as the owner. I barely noticed her coming and going but I know the dogs got some good exercise in. I appreciate her flexibility with splitting the walk between our older and younger pup who walk at very different paces.”
About: I have experience caring for newborn puppies, as well as dogs and cats with special needs or medications. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and making sure pets get the attention and care they need. I also have experience house sitting, so I’m comfortable staying in a client’s home and making sure both their pets and their home are well cared for while they’re away. I’m very attentive and flexible, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m new to the area and currently looking for a full-time position, so my schedule is very flexible right now. I have plenty of availability throughout the week and can easily work pet care into my daily routine. I’m flexible with timing and locations and am happy to accommodate different schedules and the individual needs of each pet. I love having the opportunity to spend my extra time caring for animals, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I always want pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ll follow their normal routine and any instructions their owner gives me, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just giving them some extra attention and love. I know every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and what makes them comfortable. My goal is to make sure they feel happy and cared for while their owner is away and to give the owner peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands.
“Carrie sent pictures and updates each day for walks and playtime and was very responsive. The dog was glad to have some company while we were away!”
About: I've cared for several family and friend's pets over the years, loving them as my own. I can take dogs on walks, play with them, let them out, and ensure they feel comfortable and safe. I recently started a new job so I'm working out how my new routine will fit in with pet care. I'll be working some days from home so I will have a little bit of flexibility. Each pet has different needs, so I'm here to provide a great environment for your pet! Whether they need frequent short walks, to be let outside, play time, or crate time, I'm here to ensure they are well-cared-for.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and I currently have my own fur baby! I have had experience in house sitting, dog sitting, and dog walking since I was 19 including senior dogs with various health problems. I promise to love your dog like I love my own! Please note I currently work a hybrid schedule in office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays where I am most available in the evenings. Mondays, Thursdays, and weekends are flexible for early morning, lunch, and evening hours!😊 I have my own 3 year puppy who can keep your fur baby company if needed who is crate trained, so I can crate your dog if needed. I value communication and will always be available via text/call with any questions or concerns
About: I have been pet sitting for friends, family and other services for 8 years, but have always had pets in my life. I grew up with three cats and two large dogs. Since leaving home I have missed taking care of and being around pets so I love to help take care of others. I am currently in school pursuing my Master’s in Nursing and I am around most evenings, weekends, and holidays. I am reliable, communicative, and trustworthy and would love to meet your pet(s)! I work in Saint Paul but have most evenings, weekends, and holidays free! I am willing to house sit or walk, depending on the pet. I currently live in a pet friendly apartment with my very friendly cat. I am also incredibly comfortable taking care of pets in their own homes. Having worked as an on-call nanny for 8 years I am very used to helping out in others homes and needing to adapt!
“Sy has been a lifesaver helping me with Lilly during the week!! She was super quick to respond to my initial request, which I was so grateful for because I needed services suddenly. And to top it all off, Lilly loves her so I feel like she’s in great hands whenever I’m gone! She goes above and beyond, even helping me with her medication when I asked. And she seems to really care about Lilly’s wellbeing, like she’s her own. Definitely recommend!!”

I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.”
