“Erin was an amazing pet sitter for our two dogs and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and cared for while we were gone. Our dogs LOVED running around in her big backyard, and getting to make themselves at home on her furniture. Erin's two dogs also got along really well with our dogs. We appreciated getting pictures and videos every day to let us know our girls were doing well. We would definitely use Erin again to watch our doggies!”
“Robert was the BEST Rover we have ever had!!! I cannot recommend him enough 😃 Our dog, Archie, had a great time staying with him and got lots of love, attention, and walkies 🐾 Robert sent such fun updates, pictures, and videos that we loved getting and made us smile so much while away from our little guy 🤍 We will definitely be booking with him anytime we need to board Archie again in the future. I would give him 10 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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!”

“Lan was an amazing dog sitter. This is my first time using Rover, and to be honest, my first time leaving my dog with anyone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a bit nervous. Lan was friendly and helpful and sent pictures of Zoey about an hour after I left which help put my mind at ease. Over all a really good experience.”

“Scott was very accommodating of our cat's needs, routines, and quirks while we were away for 8 days. They were timely, communicative, and reliable. Although our senior kitty, Wiley, can be territorial and cold to strangers, it seems like Scott started to develop trust with Wiley by keeping up treat routines and respecting her boundaries. Scott gave us peace of mind that our cat was in good hands while we were away.”
“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.”
“Tanya is a warm soul with an obvious love for animals. She was on time daily, and took the extra care that one of my persnickety cats requires for feedings. She took a photo of each kitty with each visit, and was willing to take on an unexpected task when a small need arose. I was away at the Christmas holiday, so the fact that she was willing to be here on Christmas Eve & Day was a huge gift. Thank you, Tanya!”
“Sierra took amazing care of my little guy and was super flexible for what we needed! I was nervous about having someone else administer his meds. But she helped to ease that anxiety and it went very smooth! Would definitely book again!”
“Teresa always does an excellent job taking care of Beans, Norman and Baby Girl while I am away. She always gives detailed updates and lots of photos, which puts my mind at ease when I'm travelling. She also takes the time to give them attention and play with them which I really appreciate.”
“Sydney did a great job looking after my cat while I was away. She gave good reports and is pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Sydney's pet sitting services!”
“We really appreciated getting a picture of each cat every day while we were away, and that we felt they were safe and taken care of. I felt nervous while we were away, and when we mentioned that the one cat really likes being spoken too, she sent us a little video of our cat Tigger with her petting him and talking to him. Thank you Sophia for giving love to our cats!”
“Highly recommend Jessica!! Our kitty needed extra special care due to twice a day insulin shots and a fear of strangers. She went above and beyond to make sure our challenging cat was medicated and fed and picked up the messes our nervous kitty made and did an incredible job with communication throughout. We came home to a clean house and a happy and healthy cat. I was beyond impressed.”
“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!”
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!
“Michelle took wonderful and professional care of our cat and went above and beyond, even unpacking and putting away our chewy order that arrived while we were away.”
“Meghan was responsive, friendly, asked questions to make sure she understand what was needed, arrived on time, and followed instructions. I would book Meghan again to care for my cat!”
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.
“Chloe was a superb dog sitter! We are so grateful she could stop in to care for our senior dog when we needed extra support. Would totally have Chloe back again.”

“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 😊”
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.
“Our dog, Khota, has gotten really attached to Kira but we're not surprised because she's great with him, knowledgeable and very dedicated to her work. We have the utmost confidence in leaving our little, four legged family member with her and will continue to have her watch Khota for the foreseeable future.”
“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!”
“Best sitters ever! Couldn’t recommend Karen and Ryan enough. Lambo absolutely LOVES when he goes over to their house and gets the wiggles every time he see them. Just proves how much they care for your dog like their own. They’re very flexible with my schedule and I can’t appreciate that enough.”
“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.”
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).
“Rachel squeezed our dog Banjo in last minute for daycare while we were visiting Minneapolis. She communicated great and Banjo came home exhausted from playing all day, which is exactly what we hoped! Thank you Rachel!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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”
“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”
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.
“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.”
“Howie took great care of Sully. When I initially dropped him off he took the time to ask questions and get to know my dog. Sully came home pooped out from walking and playing all day. We will be booking again!”
About: As a dedicated pet lover and experienced caregiver, I bring a wealth of knowledge to every pet I care for. I’m the proud owner of a one-year-old Mini Bernedoodle, whom I have personally potty trained and worked with on various training techniques. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of dog behavior, patience, and the importance of consistent training. Beyond caring for my own dog, I have extensive experience with pet sitting, particularly with cats and dogs that require special attention. I have provided care for sick and injured cats, ensuring they receive the gentle, attentive care they need to recover comfortably. Additionally, I have experience dog-sitting for various breeds, catering to their unique needs and ensuring their well-being while their owners are away. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs regular walks or a senior cat requiring medication, I approach each pet with the same level of care and compassion as I do with my own. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their furry family members are in capable and loving hands. I look forward to meeting and caring for your beloved pets! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my work-from-home routine. With a flexible schedule, I can easily manage walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, alongside caring for my own dog. I’m also open to overnight stays, ensuring your pets receive consistent, attentive care while you're away. In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize pets' safety and comfort by maintaining a clean, secure environment. I follow each pet's routine to reduce stress, provide consistent attention, and ensure their well-being. Building trust through patience and understanding, I create a caring, familiar atmosphere for every pet.
About: I set the intention of pet care to being a friend to your pet and partner to you. I respect boundaries and priorities as needed. I currently work flexible hours throughout the week based off clientele. This would be an addition to my job as some days I have the entire day off or atleast half of it. Your pet always comes first. I take care of others pets like I’d expect a stranger to walk in and take care of mine. I want to leave with the intention that if I were to come back, your pet would open the door.

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.
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.
“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 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!
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.
“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!”
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: 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.)
“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!!”
“As always, Dawn goes above and beyond taking care of my dog, Norie. She is very quick at responding and flexible with a last minute change. She treats my dog as if it were her own.”
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: Hi friends! My name is Robin, I’m 29, and I’m an artist living in northeast Minneapolis currently working in the service industry. While I don’t have any pets of my own, I am my community’s right-hand-gal when it comes to pet care. I also spend my free time often reading and consuming content about dog training and working with reactive pups. It is important to me that my presence is known by the animals in my life to be calm and joyful and consistent. I’ve got lots of attention to give and lots of patience - looking to overflow back into the families around me through helping care and tend to their pets. I am most familiar with having small dogs be a part of my family but have built my pet experience recipe to the brim with dogs of all sizes and ages as well as playful & shy cats and kittens. Don’t let the “gap in my resume” fool you - I’ve been servicing families in my area consistently (they just text me the old fashioned way ;)). I am currently in-between jobs so I have more open availability than normal. I currently have a standing commitment Wed-Friday 1pm-3pm, but that is my only limitation at this time. I am located in NE Minneapolis. I like to simulate what a normal day might look like for them while adapting to their particular needs surrounding getting to know a new friend (me!). I pride myself in being able to match the energy of animals and display to them that my job is to make sure they’re safe and I do not need to be in their physical space when they don’t want it. I love cuddling up with a lil silly sleepy pal but I won’t even be putting my hands on them regularly until/unless it is absolutely clear that they’re ready and wanting attention from me like that.
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: I recently graduated from grad school and am currently substitute teaching so I have lot of extra time during the week. I have 2 cats of my own and have experience with puppies and small dogs! I’m quite flexible with my time and am also a homebody so your pet will get a lot of attention. I will accommodate your feeding schedule as best as I can. I recently graduated from grad school and am job-hunting so I have lot of extra time during the week. I have 2 cats of my own and have experience with puppies and small dogs!
About: Hi, I’m Lydia — dog mom, belly rub expert, and professional sniff-spot scout. I’ve spent 15 years learning what dogs actually want (hint: it’s all of the above), and a lifetime growing up with dogs and cats of every personality. Energetic or chill, young or old, I’ve got them covered. My daily and weekly routine revolves around pet care. My dog is my first thought when I wake up and the last thing I worry about before bed. I have an abundance of parks near my home that I can take your fur baby to for both exercise and play. I love a good adventure.

“Erin was an amazing pet sitter for our two dogs and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and cared for while we were gone. Our dogs LOVED running around in her big backyard, and getting to make themselves at home on her furniture. Erin's two dogs also got along really well with our dogs. We appreciated getting pictures and videos every day to let us know our girls were doing well. We would definitely use Erin again to watch our doggies!”
“Robert was the BEST Rover we have ever had!!! I cannot recommend him enough 😃 Our dog, Archie, had a great time staying with him and got lots of love, attention, and walkies 🐾 Robert sent such fun updates, pictures, and videos that we loved getting and made us smile so much while away from our little guy 🤍 We will definitely be booking with him anytime we need to board Archie again in the future. I would give him 10 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Amy was great! This was my first time having someone watch my dog besides my parents so I was very nervous about leaving my pup with someone new. I received pictures daily and when I arrived to pick her up she was so happy and wanted to show me all the toys she's been playing with all week. She can't wait to stay with Amy and Danielle again!”
“Martha and Eric are outstanding! They took excellent care of our dog, Rosie. We had to make last minute booking changes but Martha and Eric were understanding, compassionate, accommodating, and very professional. Rosie has some anxiety but Martha and Eric asked many questions about her care and treated her like she was part of their family. They took Rosie on lots of walks and updated us with many photos and videos. Rosie looked right at home and we felt at ease knowing she was being so well cared for.”

“Sally was great with my senior dog! She sent updates throughout the stay and my pup had a great time: lots of smiles in the pictures I received. We'll definitely book again sometime!”
