Communication is obviously one of Catherine’s strong points. We booked again right away!”

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.

“we have only worked with one other rover and typically have family watch our little guy. Due to this, we were nervous to branch out and find someone new when we relocated to MSP. We did a meet and greet with Colleen and Joe and they were wonderful. Dezi immediately took to their great yard and house and they were both so kind and willing to answer any questions and put us at ease. Dezi also loved Nico and it was clear they would be great friends. Dezi just had his first overnight with them and they were very communicative and sent pictures and updates. We are already booked for another visit and are so thankful to have found Colleen, Joe, and Nico!”
“This was our first booking with Jacquie and Kyle and we felt super comfortable leaving our dog for 10 days with them. We got lots of picture updates and she was clearly very happy and entertained and enjoyed playing with the other two dogs they were concurrently boarding. We’ll definitely rebook if the need arises again.”

They are both so sweet with Ruby and they care for her as if she was their own. They send alot of photos and videos, which we love. We will definitely use them again!”

“I was nervous to leave Jane as this was the first time she’s stayed with anyone other than my parents, but Sue and Craig were absolutely amazing! They made sure to understand all of my preferences and Jane’s schedule and demeanor. They checked in with me consistently with updates and pictures, which i was grateful for. They cared for Jane as if she was their own and I will definitely reach out to them again for care. Highly recommend, in every way!”
“Nickolai was very communicative and responsive. We received pictures of our girl and updates throughout her stay with Nickolai. The home has a very large fenced-in backyard which our dog enjoyed immensely. We mentioned that our dog is accustomed to going on walks and Nickolai was kind enough to take her out for walks around the neighborhood.”
“Trish & Robert were wonderful hosts for Ruby. She had a great time running around their backyard when we met and kept me in the loop with regular updates and photos. Would definitely be looking to see if they are available the next time I have to travel without Ruby.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for cats and have experience looking after pets for neighbors, friends, and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, litter box care, playtime, and giving cats the attention and space they need to feel comfortable. I’ve also rescued and cared for stray and wild cats, which has taught me to be patient, gentle, and attentive to each cat’s unique personality and needs. I treat every cat in my care like they’re my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness.
About: I was introduced to my first kitty at 5 months old, she became my second sister and we grew up together. I have loved all cats since that first interaction, and simply the presence of a happy cat brings me joy. My second kitty had cancer and needed a caretaker post-surgery, so I have experience in cones, medication, and post-op care. In addition, I have taken care of pregnant mamas and her kittens after birth, as well as multiple senior cats. Overall, whether a cat is high or low energy and/or high or low maintenance, I am just happy to be around!
“Marisa did a great job watching our cat for us over the holidays. She was flexible, responsive and on time. Our cat is usually anxious and stressed out when we get back from trips, but this time she was calm and happy to see us!”

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!
“This was my first time using Rover for my two cats, and I was a little nervous, but I definitely made the right choice hiring Amber. She was super communicative and flexible throughout the whole process and sent me an update and pictures of my babies everyday I was gone. They really seemed to take to her, too. She even brought in a package for me and offered to water my plants. So sweet! I’ll for sure hire her again in the future!”
“Gabby was great, very communicative, and my cats seemed well cared-for. She even went to my building to try and check on them the day after my last booking date when my flights were unexpectedly delayed. I would definitely recommend her as a pet-sitter to anyone I know.”

She went above and beyond and even took the time to clean after my cat (she wasn’t asked to do that but it’s super appreciated). This isn’t the first time I have booked Shykala and it won’t be the last.”
“Andrew was extremely communicative, very attentive to our cat Niles’ needs, he took a lot of pictures of our kitty to reassure us, and went above and beyond taking care of our cat. Book him!”

About: I’m a college student who had the pleasure to work with the PAWS program at the University Of Minnesota which helps people meet animals safely. It helped me educate more people about how pets support mental health and wellbeing. My favorite thing in the world is hosting those angels in my residence. I’m currently taking classes mostly Monday and Wednesday morning but when i’m not in school i’m usually at home with the pups. I take a long walk every morning so i usually like to have a buddy to accompany me! I prefer to adjust to the owner’s style rather than doing my own way. I’ve learned that some pups can get overwhelmed with sudden changes to their environment and routine.
“Nyree was amazing, and I’d highly recommend her! She came every morning for a week to let my fur baby out of her kennel, give her breakfast, and take her for a quick morning walk. Leia absolutely looked forward to her mornings with Nyree, and I’m so grateful for the kind, thoughtful care she provided.”
“i’ve been using emerson consistently multiple times a week for almost a year now- he is flexible, communicative and extremely reliable. he does a great job with my large doodle and even was able to manage my two large dogs when i had them both. will continue using emerson and highly recommend!”
“Lauren is such a wonderful person! Very personable, great communication, and she took such great care of my dog Skylar. They went for an hour-long walk around my neighborhood. Skylar looked so happy and was perfectly tired from the exercise. Highly recommend Lauren and will definitely book again!”
“Alana did a wonderful job with Theo! Her communication was amazing and Theo was relaxed when we came home so I could tell he was well taken care of. His coat looked great too so I could see that she brushed him. I will definitely use Alana again.”
About: I will love your animals like they are my own. Have owned multiple dogs and cats and have fostered many dogs as well. My dogs have the best training possible and I have learned a great deal from trainers.. I respect the owners’ needs for their furry loved ones, and understand how much you miss them when you are away.. Currently, I am retired and available for drop by walks throughout the day.. I can also have the pups come to my home when needed. I live next to a beautiful park for walks, I have a built out basement for indoor exercise - lots of room. My own dog is a small chihuahua who can slowly get to know any new fur baby in his own way.
“It was a great experience working with Laura. Her communication and updates throughout her visits with Chance were so very appreciated. Laura is also incredibly attentive and thoughtful. Thank you for everything!”
About: I've always been a pet lover. Did pet sitting as a pre-teen and teenager. I had a soul cat for 15 years and a soul dog for 13 years. I have 2 grand-pups who I often dog sit or just take for a day adventure. I've had guinea pigs, hampsters, fish, you name it. I pass you and your animal on the street don't be offended by me going straight to them first! Animals (all animals) seem to love me back too which I LOVE! I'm currently not working or occasionally working remote contract jobs so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your furr baby! And spoil them I will!!!! I have a condo in Minneapolis near the Sculpture Garden and Loring park. I am on the first floor with a patio and yard so plenty of space to do their business or to take a great walk. My building is small and very pet friendly. I'm also comfortable traveling out to your home since I'm central to the area.
“Darwin came and met Rory before he took care of him . He did a wonderful job , exercising Rory for an hour even though it was so hot Rory was very happy and tired out ! I would absolutely recommend Darwin”
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.

Thanks!*** - Love all animals like their my own; My favorite breed for dogs are Golden Retrievers and Labradors. Love the Golden and Labra Doodles as well! - Self-titled GOLDEN RETRIEVER SPECIALIST! I can not get enough of Goldens, I had three growing up: Duncan, Murray, and Henry. All had distinct personalities. Duncan thought he was a human. Murray is anxious, moody, and very goofy. Henry is energetic, attention obsessed, pathologically loyal, and can chase a tennis ball (on land or thrown into a lake) for HOURS. They inspired my love of dogs. - I can handle dogs of any size for walks/overnights, I've walked dogs as small as toy Italian Greyhounds and Shihtzus, all the way to Burmese Mountain Dogs and Great Danes. - Genuine, vigilant, and experienced walker and sitter. - Self-titled GOLDEN RETRIEVER SPECIALIST! I can not get enough of Goldens, I had three growing up: Duncan, Murray, and Henry. All had distinct personalities. Duncan thought he was a human. Murray is anxious, moody, and very goofy. Henry is energetic, attention obsessed, pathologically loyal, and can chase a tennis ball (on land or thrown into a lake) for HOURS. They inspired my love of dogs. - Experience primarily with dogs, many cats as well. - Pride myself on excellent communication and thoughtful updates. - Have experience caring for animals that need special love (Elderly, Separation Anxiety, Blind and or Deaf, Medication Dependent, Insulin Injections, and more!) - Will truly bond with your furry companions, providing insight in personality and temperament. - Historically do very well with dogs regardless of their “Male Stranger Danger”. - I take direction very well, and will consult with clients about any specific tasks they may need for their pets or their home (Such as bringing the mail in, watering plants, letting in maintenance or cleaning workers etc.) - As long as the dog is comfortable in the rain or snow, I’ll be the same. Have appropriate gear for rain or shine. I do work from home most days, which means I can give your dog a 15 minute walk every 2 hours so they can do their business as well as a 30 minute walk around 2pm to let them get some more energy out until the evening when I can give your dog a longer walk and all of my attention and love. I can have food placed out at anytime in the day regardless of me working. I have experience with scheduled insulin injections as well as long as the owner lays out specific times. I'm in a new apartment, but as far as safety goes anything that could be harmful to even an infant is stowed away. All medications would be locked in a cabinet in my bathroom which would be shut.

About: I grew up with cats, dogs, doves, horses, chickens, bunnies, ducks, and many other animals! I have a range of experience caring for these pets and making sure they know that they are a part of the family. As an adult, I have attended puppy training classes with my dog, and have volunteered at the humane society. I’m working part time right now, so my schedule has many openings! I am mostly available before 4pm on any day. I am an early riser, so I can do early mornings no problem! I have a lot of experience safely walking dogs in a city setting, and I know just how crafty animals can be when it comes to getting into things they shouldn’t. I will make sure your pet stays safe!
