About: I’ve been obsessed with cats for as long as I can remember. Sometimes I can be like a helicopter parent, but for cats. Making sure there isn’t a tiny piece of plastic or a piece of string on the ground, I’d be a fabulous caretaker for a cat with PICA. I pride myself in my ability to discern what the cat is feeling; overstimulated and energized can look similar to some people. I see the difference, I take breaks between petting to understand their expressions. Cats are particularly clever when it comes to taking medicine, I have experience in being quick but gentle. Avoiding the prolonged stress. I also paint and draw cats everyday!

“Krista did a good job. She gave Evangeline space when she was expressing being upset, probably upset about me being away. I with Evangeline had not been hissing at Krista, but she's calm not that I am back home. Krista was consistent at sending reports and photos everyday. Overall she did a good job.”

“Samantha is a great cat-sitter! I know my cats are in great hands when she checks in on them, and I really appreciate the updates and pictures she sends. I highly recommend Samantha and will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I need someone to check on my 2 cats while I’m away!”


“Irene was so nice and attentive to my cat. She played with him, brushed him, took care of his necessities and kept him company! My cat is picky and doesn't like alot of people so he can sense her great vibes! Will 100% hire again.”

“Queenie did an excellent job taking care of our cat, Oliver. She sent daily photo and video updates, which made us feel very comfortable knowing our pet was well cared for. We could clearly see how happy Oliver was and I'm sure he enjoyed his stay. Highly recommend! Thank you, Queenie!”


“My shy cat warmed up to Michelle quickly. Michelle kept me informed on her visits and gave me peace of mind that my cat was well taken care of while I was out of town.”


About: I have lived with and cared for my family’s 3 cats for many years! I have experience administering medicine and caring for a cat who requires special care. I can clean all kinds of messes and I keep the litter boxes tidy!
About: With over 8 years of experience in animal care, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, rats, and even lizards! I’m confident handling pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions who need a bit of extra TLC. I also have experience administering medications like pills, topical creams, and pet inhalers. I’m always happy to learn your pet’s unique routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m a student at the University of Minnesota and love spending my free time caring for animals. While my weekday schedule is limited due to classes and work, I’m fully available on Fridays and weekends and would be happy to dedicate that time to pet care. I look forward to meeting new pets and giving them the attention they deserve! Since I care for pets in their own homes, I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I stick to their usual routine—whether that means walks, meals, playtime, or meds—whatever they need to feel at ease. I know how important it is to have someone you trust in your home, so I’m always respectful of your space and do my best to leave things just as I found them (or better!). I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured while you're away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and try to make the time you're gone as stress-free as possible for both of you.
“Amber has been our go to pet sitter for our two cats, our boys love her and she always goes above and beyond whenever she looks after them, can’t recommend enough”

“Hopps has enjoyed his days with Kara and the family. He looks forward to playing in the yard with Oscar, walks with the kiddos and having someone to follow around all day. Kara is so great at documenting the day with pictures and reporting on his activities. I know he’s in good hands 😊”
“Kira and Alejandro do such a fantastic job with my shy dog who has trouble socializing. I’m so grateful he’s in good hands when they watch him!”

About: Hi! I’m Noah and I have 15 years of experience with all sorts of dogs. I grew up with dogs of all sizes, from Great Danes to miniature dachshunds. My favorite part of being around dogs is playing with them, seeing their happy faces, and getting to experience nature with them. While I’ve never had a cat to call my own, I have played with and taken care of many cats over the years! I am currently a dog dad to a three-year old energetic dachshund and a German Shepherd mix puppy! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I work from home and am generally available after 4:30pm or before 7:30am, but I can be flexible! I live in an area with access to convenient walking trails and parks. Your pet’s safety, security, and health are my top priorities. I understand the trust you're placing in me to care for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously.
“Karen and Ryan have been the best sitters for my puppy. He’s always so happy to go to their house. They’ve been feeding him and helping with a medical need during the day and are flexible when I’m running late from work. Would recommend them to friends and family!”

“Very flexible, great communication, and friendly! My pup had a great time and I felt confident that he was in good hands. Would definitely book again!”

“Nicole is absolutely amazing! My little guy is almost 15 weeks and loves to be outside. I greatly appreciated her taking him out for walks, making sure he was happy, taking him out for a multitude of potty breaks (sometimes 2 times in an hour if needed) and keeping me updated throughout the day. I highly recommend Nicole, especially if you want your dog to be well cared for!!”

“First doggie sitter for our Harper and did we score big time!! Alyson is amazing. Harper came home happy and tired. It must have been a great time!! Thanks Alyson.”


“Great experience having Robert watch my pup - highly recommended, especially for a high-energy dog. Will definitely be coming to him in the future when I need someone to take care of her while I'm in Minneapolis.”

“Absolutely incredible experience. Celia was easy to communicate with and sent me pics of my pup throughout the day. I would love to book again - highly recommmend”

“Emilie was so good to my dog, Walter. I felt really comfortable leaving her with him for the whole day. She sent tons of pictures of him while I was at work and said he played all day -- which was perfect! I'm definitely going to be rebooking in the future. :-) Walter was pooped once we got home.”


“Lizzy & her husband took GiGi for a fun hour long walk in the snow. They gave her a lot of attention and cuddles. They will be great caregivers for your pet.”

“We needed help watching our dog during the day while moving and Sally was great! I got multiple very cute updates of him each day and it seemed like he had a great time playing and running in the backyard. She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times.”


“It was my 3 month old puppy’s first time at doggy daycare and Lydia made me feel very comfortable leaving my puppy alone for the whole day with Lydia’s own puppies and other dogs she was taking care of. She also took pictures to update me on my puppy. Will definitely book Lydia again.”

About: I've cared for over 15 different dog breeds since I was 10 years old, from high energy hunting dogs to cozy lap snugglers. Friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets for years. With 8 years in animal welfare, I understand behavior and emotions, including noise fears, nervousness with new people, leash reactivity, shy/timid, resource guarding, seniors, puppies, and special needs pets. I also care for cats of all personalities independent explorers, playful toy lovers, and devoted snugglers. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, stress free home where they feel truly cared for while you're away. Each dog in my care receives personalized attention and love. For daycare and boarding, I limit to two dogs at a time to ensure quality care while they are in a new environment. When house sitting in your home, I can happily care for up to four dogs, keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. I’m happy to provide photo updates, and our home is fully prepared for play, rest, and supervision. I’m home during the day, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, and enrichment. Every pet in my care enjoys a healthy balance of play, mental stimulation, walks, and quiet time to rest and recharge. Evenings are cozy and relaxed, filled with gentle supervision and snuggles, so pets feel safe, happy, and loved from morning to night. I have a fully fenced yard with secure gate locks to keep pets safe, and I’m happy to make adjustments using leads or harnesses for curious or adventurous pups. I also maintain an up-to-date list of urgent care and emergency veterinary clinics throughout the metro area for added peace of mind. Potential clients are always welcome to schedule a video home tour to see the setup and environment their pet would be in. My home allows for kenneling if needed, and I can provide large and extra large crates. I also offer separate spaces for feeding time and am located near several nearby parks for walks. For cats, I can provide a quiet, separate space if they need time to decompress. In addition to care in my home, I also offer house sitting so pets can remain comfortable in their own environment and routines. I’m located about 15 minutes from MSP Airport, which many traveling pet parents find convenient for drop-off and pick-up. Street parking is available in the area, and rideshares to the airport are typically around $20.
“This was our first time using Roover, and Rachel made the experience smooth and stress free. Our dog had a great day with her, and Rachel sent lots of updates and pictures!”


“I appreciate Howie and the care he provided my pup! He had a blast and smiled all night! I feel good leaving him with Howie and I know he will be cared for the way I would.”

“She was absolutely amazing! I'm a rover sitter myself and have been for years and even though she is newer to the game she's doing absolutely everything right! My dog is very sleepy and happy, I will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her”

“Ellen is so patient & understanding with my fearful dog. I drop my dog off with a wagging tail which says a lot! I am so grateful for her & her availability and communication.”

About: I keep my home boarding low-key and personalized by welcoming only one dog, or two from the same family, at a time. So your pup will enjoy plenty of one-on-one love, play, and attention in a calm, peaceful environment where they can truly relax and feel at home. Working from home in a dog-friendly condo in Columbia Heights, I’m available all day for frequent potty breaks, companionship, and checkins. There’s no private yard, but there’s a nice shared yard with plenty of green just downstairs for some outdoor time, and we can easily do neighborhood walks. As a former puggle owner, I took care of my little Snuggles all the way through her senior years until she was 13+, so I have experience and can care for dogs at every life stage, including daily care and routine, bathing, training, administering medicine when needed, and handling their specific needs as they get older. I recently had to put my own puggle down, and while I still miss her, I have been enjoying puppy kisses from the dogs I watch, and I love sharing that same attentive care with other pups who need a cozy and reliable place to stay. My setup includes comfortable dog beds, a kennel for secure rest if needed, doggy bowls for fresh water and meals, and soft blankets for cozy napping. If your dog needs someone who’s home constantly and would do walks on a nice day, let’s do a meet & greet! I work from home most days, so I’m available all day for the pups, extra potty breaks, daytime and evening walks, play, and companionship. Once every two weeks, I may be out for a few hours at the office. I’ll coordinate ahead of time, give updates, and make sure your dog is settled. On Saturdays, I’m less flexible for check-in and check-out due to volunteer work (away for half the day). I usually let dogs roam free in the condo. They can follow me everywhere if they want, which most enjoy for that constant company. I can crate your dog if needed (for naps, meals, or if they’re more comfortable that way).

About: Hi! I am a life long dog lover and former dog mom of a sweet, rambunctious German shepherd mix who unfortunately passed from cancer in 2025. I’m not quite ready to bring another dog home but I miss having a pup around, so I’m excited to offer love, walks, snuggles, and care to yours like they’re my own. More About My Experience: I have had years of practice in caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sociability. In addition to raising my own dog, I have had an active role in raising and caring for 3 other dogs from puppyhood to adulthood. I am regularly entrusted by family, friends, and neighbors to feed, walk, play with, provide medication to, and stay overnights with their pets. I also have experience with dogs who have extra care needs such as medications, seizures, selective socialization, leash reactivity, and high prey drive. I am more than happy to learn the specifics of your dogs needs to give them the best care I can! I work remotely and typically have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care as needed and in line with your dog’s regular routine throughout the day. A positive experience for both the dogs and the owners is of the utmost importance to me. I am happy to take pups on walks, to the dog park, or simply play with them at home! I’ll send picture/video updates regularly and will give your pup as much love as I can while also providing any specialized care that is needed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, frequently being asked to watch the neighbors pets. I love going for walks and am happy to go fast for energetic dogs, slow for seniors, or whatever pace the dog wants to go! I have my own 10 year old dog who I care for always. I currently work full time so I am available to walk dogs before or after regular working hours. I have my own dog so I understand the importance of getting walks in daily! I cannot take dogs into my home, but I am used to caring for a dog so I understand essentials of care that they need.

About: Hi! my name Juliana. As an experienced pet caretaker, I have the knowledge and skills that make me the perfect choice for taking care of your pet! I have taken care of both family and friend’s pets ( cats and dogs) and I understand the importance of providing attentive and loving care to make sure they are comfortable and happy. As a Dachshund owner myself, I know how important it is to follow routines and keep in mind specific needs. You can trust that I will provide your furry friend/child with the same level of care and attention that I give my own. Currently my schedule is limited because I don’t work from home, except for Fridays. Therefore, I’m available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for walks and drop ins. I can easy walk your dog and provide the exercise they need around the North Loop / Downtown Minneapolis area. For cat owners, I can provide visits to make sure food and litter are taken care of. Additionally, I volunteer at Minneapolis Animal Care & Control with both cats and dogs, which has helped me to understand behaviors and how to manage difficult situations.
“Jessica did a wonderful job walking our high energy dog, Isabella! She was available for a meet and greet beforehand, has been great to communicate with, and our dog was very happy after the walk. We look forward to having Jessica walk Isa again!”

About: I've lived with animals my entire life and have been taking care of my own since I was about 7 years old. I've had a few dogs in my family: a chihuahua, shar pei, golden retriever, pomeranian, dachshund, and a chow chow; with experience from puppies to seniors. Cats have also been a constant throughout my whole life, from kittens to seniors as well. There hasn't been a moment I haven't had at least one cat in my home. I've had a few other kinds of smaller critters too: guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and lizards. I'm well versed in pet body language and reading what they desire or need, and have lots of love to give your baby(ies)! They deserve the world. I absolutely adore all animals and spending time with them is my favorite activity. Rover is my full-time job, so I can spend as much time as needed with your fur baby and make frequent check-ins or walks if desired! If your companion(s) is friendly to strangers, I will be sure to give them plenty of attention, play time, petting, and walks (if applicable) in addition to basic care and any other requests. If they're not comfortable with new people, I will respect their space and boundaries based on what they're telling me so they feel relaxed and safe. Every animal is different and I adapt to their personality and pace.
About: I have two dogs and a cat. My dogs are 55-60 pounds each. I also have experience pet sitting and house sitting for several close friends. I’m currently not working a FT or PT job. My goal is to do rover solely, so I’m available every day for most of the day. I am very attentive and operations minded which means I’m punctual and organized. I’m also extremely empathetic and loving. I would treat your pets like I treat my own - with respect, divinity, and love. Play times are my favorite so your pets will have plenty of fun time with me. If you’re open to having my dog Marley in your home I can bring him for play dates.
About: I got my first pet at 4 years old and have loved and cared for pets ever since. I would be so happy to help you take care of yours. I am currently going to school and apart of extra curriculars and sports. Any time I am available I would be happy to spend that time helping you care for your pet(s). I have walking trails and a park close to my apartment that would be a great resource for your pet and I to get exercise and fresh air.

About: I’ve taken care of cats my whole life, from kittens to seniors, and since I was 12 I’ve watched my friends and neighbors dogs as well. I’ve given both cats and dogs medication as well as bottle fed them if they were too young for solid food. I have an incredibly flexible hybrid work schedule! Whatever you or your pets needs, I will be able to meet them without any work conflicts. You know your pet better than anyone. Whatever instructions you give me to keep them safe, happy, and healthy, I promise to follow exactly. I love animals and my schedule is very flexible, so whenever your needs are, I will do my absolute best to meet them!
“Dawn is so super sweet with the pups and is super good at getting Harley, my shy girl, out of the house without disturbing my meetings. Thank you for being so great with them!!!! I would highly recommend Dawn.”
About: I have CPR training, years of caretaking and medication administration experience, and a lifetime of loving on pets of all ages and sizes. Informal pet sitting has also been a part of my routine for many years. I have lots of free time this summer, and have many pockets of availability throughout the school year beginning in September, so I am happy to set up longer term relationships. I have a completely fenced yard, one friendly cat at home, and only a few steps for older dogs to handle. I am happy to follow any crazy routine you and your pet have!
About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience, including caring for my own cat and providing babysitting for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and following specific care routines. I’m patient, attentive, and love building trust with animals so they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their well-being, safety, and happiness. I am available for part-time pet care in the evenings after 6 PM on weekdays due to my full-time work schedule. I am also available on weekends with more flexible hours. I do not have a car, so I focus on local clients and can provide dog walking and in-home pet care at the client’s residence only. I am not able to board pets in my home, but I am reliable, consistent, and committed to giving pets attentive and loving care during my visits. I provide pet care in my client’s home by following their established routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, and engaging pets in play and companionship. I always follow owner instructions carefully, including any special dietary needs or medications. I focus on safety, patience, and building trust with each pet so they feel secure while their owner is away. I do not board pets in my home, but I am available for in-home visits and dog walking services only.
“Laura is an excellent dog walker! She took a preliminary walk with us to learn my dog’s habits and routines, and was great at communicating upcoming schedules. My dog was so happy to see her and walk with her each day and I got great updates. I would highly recommend Laura for dog walking or dog sitting.”

About: I have had animals my entire life and loving caring for them! I have had both large and medium sized dogs and currently have a sweet 5 year old cat. I have been a pet sitter for multiple years and am comfortable with all cats and dogs! I am available to stop by during the day most days of the week and weekend! I can be flexible with my schedule to accommodate your sitting needs. I love to play and be interactive with pets but also prioritize a safe and clean space for my animals! I am comfortable taking animals in my vehicle to parks and long walks outside.
About: We LOVE dogs and have a city sized house full of people that love giving them attention! We have 2 school age children but are home full time in the summer with a good sized fenced backyard and our own friendly pups, Oli and Lulu. I (Kara) grew up always having a dog in the family, and as soon as I could, I acquired one of my own. I've learned that dogs need people, but people need dogs just as much. All this to say, we can't imagine a world without these furry little companions! With many attentive people in our household, your dog will never have needs unmet. Whether it be snuggles, toys, pets, walks, playtimes, food... be assured we can handle it! We can't wait to meet your dog! We both work in education, so our summers are very open & flexible and offer so many opportunities for dog walks, dog parks, pet cuddles, etc. We have a fenced back yard and get on many outings with our own high energy dog. We do on long walks daily and often to the off leash dog park (if your dog is licensed in Minneapolis). We have a friendly cat that mostly keeps to herself around dogs, but she does not allow other cats in the home (so we are unable to board cats.)
“I'd definitely recommend Alex! He's been walking my dog Millie for about 2 months -- he's communicative and has been very flexible with his schedule. In particular, he's been extremely helpful at keeping an eye out when Millie has something health-related pop up that needs to be monitored, which gives me a ton of peace-of-mind!”

“Jenna goes above and beyond to care for her client and their pet. Very attentive, accommodating, and respectful of changes and dedicated to making everyone happy. I have great respect for her and she always does a great job and is very transparent. Love having her support and attention to detail especially with my puppy. Means a lot! Can’t recommend a better dog walker/sitter!!”


About: I work from home and attend university online as well. So I will be with my furry friends 24/7. I never really leave them alone. When I doggy sit, I've always thought of them as my own while they are around. While I have them, I get to play with them, walk around and get my walks in, enjoy Netflix on the couch, and more importantly naps and cuddles together! When I walk them, I am always aware of other dogs and I'm always protective of "my" dogs, unless I know for sure the other dog/s are super nice. I love a happy dog. My partner can tell you I cry easily when I see a suffering animal of any kind, especially dogs. So If I'm doggy sitting, I make sure they know love. I work from home so this would be a great opportunity for me to make extra money but to also have a dog around. My two cats, Felix and Oscar, past away recently (they had a great 20 years!) and I miss having a pet buddy around. I've been a regular dog sitter for my friends (shout out to Jake the shy but awesome boston terrier, Kingsley the lovable and kind pit bull and Gus Gus the instagram famous french bull dog!) So, I know this will be a great opportunity for me. I work from home and attend university online so I am home 24/7. Unless it's an emergency, I will be with your dog ALL the time I'm with them. I love and follow instructions very well and in detail pertaining to the dogs' specific care given to me. I ALWAYS send daily photos and messages with updates about the dogs.
About: Growing up on a farm in Wisconsin, I was surround with pets from the moment I was a baby. My pets have included 15+ dogs (from doodles, to german shepherds, to chihuahuas), 20+ cats, bunnies, birds, gerbils, fish, pigs, sheep, and more, all from babies until their senior years. I have always been a huge animal lover and have become the “God-Mother” of 4 cats and 3 dogs in San Francisco amongst my friend group. I spent a year on Rover in San Francisco, but have now relocated to Minneapolis and am looking forward to meeting more fur babies here! Currently my schedule is very open as I just returned to Minneapolis and have yet to begin my new job - I am ready to make lots of time for the pets of Rover! I have a lot of experience when it comes to pet-sitting in others homes. Treating your home with care and making sure nothing happens to it or your pet while your away - it’s the last thing you need to worry about while you’re away!

“Rosie was very happy at Kyle’s. We saw some sweet photos of her during her stay. We appreciated your flexibility in picking her up too. Thanks much. We will definitely request to rebook with Kyle.”

“Mack had a fantastic long weekend at Kara and Adam's house! Reservations and meet-up were a breeze and Kara's communication was timely and did a lot to calm our nerves around being away from Mack for the first time; pictures were an awesome bonus. Will definitely book again.”

“Promise took such great care of my dog, Toro! I received multiple VERY cute photos and videos throughout his stay and he looked like he was having a great time. He loves other dogs and was delighted to get to play with other dogs Promise was caring for. We will definitely bring Toro to her again next time we need a sitter!”

“Katelyn watched my dog for the weekend and took such great care of her! They went on a hike, to get pup cups and on lots of walks. She kept me updated and sent me lots of pictures. Would book again!”

“Eric and Martha did a wonderful job taking care of my dog Birdie while I was out of town. Martha sent me daily updates with pictures and I could see that Birdie was getting lots of love and attention. I will definitely use them again next time I need a dog sitter.”

“I highly recommend Jessie. She was so great to our dog Ivy; she took her on walks, car rides, to Bachman's, and gave Ivy treats (approved by us). Jessie sent us updates every single night with lots of pictures. Ivy definitely missed Jessie once she got back home 🥰”

“Caitlin is a very good sitter. She took care of my two old girls, who take medication and are both on special diets. I felt like they were very safe in Caitlin's care.”

“Gabrielle and Tommie took wonderful care of our dog over a long weekend! Gabrielle is very quick to respond to messages and sent us several photos of Marty during his stay. He was clearly having a wonderful time and they even filled up a kiddie pool for him to play in on a hot day! We would love for our dog to stay with them again in the future!”

“Briana provided a stellar experience. She gave great care to our fur baby and communicated frequent updates while we were away. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
