“As a nervous, first-time Rover user going on a long trip, Courtney was a phenomenal find. She’s an excellent communicator, sent lovely photos, and met my shy boy where he was at, letting him warm up at his own pace. I came back to a tidy home and a happy and content kitty which is the best feeling after a long time away. 10/10, do recommend.”

“Jerome - Cat Sitter Extraordinaire!** I can't recommend Jerome enough as a cat sitter! For the past year, he has taken wonderful care of my cat, Bolillo, and I couldn't be happier with his services. From day one, Jerome has been incredibly reliable and attentive. He always communicates promptly, keeping me updated on how Bolillo is doing, which gives me such peace of mind while I'm away. It’s clear that he genuinely cares for animals, and Bolillo absolutely adores him! Jerome goes above and beyond, ensuring that Bolillo is not just fed and taken care of, but also engaged and happy. His warmth and kindness have created a lovely bond between them, and I feel so fortunate to have found someone who treats my cat like family. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter, look no further than Jerome. He’s been a true blessing in our lives!”
“Great communication and care for our shy kitty! He usually hides from sitters but he came out for cuddles on day one of Anna’s visits. Felt great having him in good hands.”

“Lydia has been so flexible with pick-up/drop off times and is willing to watch our dog on short notice. Mac absolutely loves her and I know he’s so well taken care of when he stays with her. Most times he doesn’t want to leave! We will use Lydia for as long as she’ll have him! ❤️”
“Aimee was great. Patient with our buddy when he was nervous and her yard/house were a good fit for our pup. Good communication. We will reach out to her for daycare again!!”

“Susie did an amazing job with our pup Quinn! She was very communicative and took great care of our dog. I highly recommend Susie for your pets care!”
“Stasia is honestly the best. I can’t sing her praises enough. My dog loves her. Stasia is great at personalized care for our dog and has outdoor space for her to play in too!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Michelle took great care of Maya, my sweet 3 year old pup! Maya is pretty high energy and has some anxieties, so when I picked her up after the FIRST DAY she spent with Michelle and her resident dog, I was delighted and shocked that Maya barely acknowledged me when I arrived (I normally get 500 face licks and zoomies). Michelle clearly is very experienced with a range of dogs and also has a great backyard. We will be back!”
“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.”
About: We have a double lot that is fenced in with lots of squirrels in the tree for your dog to keep track of. There is also a small but fun little dog that loves to play and run around. When your dog gets tired, there are ample laps available for hanging out indoors. Experienced dog sitters looking to help out the dogs who don’t want to be home alone all day, or help you get out for a trip. We both have very flexible work schedules, and boarding and daycare can include walks, yard hangs, and precise food schedules. Walks are already built into a daily routine. I have a fully fenced in yard that is tall enough to keep most dogs from jumping. Depending on the dogs needs, I am happy to limit outside time to walks or supervised yard play.
“Thank you Nyree, my Inosuke was so happy and comfortable in your home my son said Inosuke cried because he had to go home. You help me reduced my anxiety especially since this was his first day care. I appreciate you so much, highly recommend and will use again.”
“We met Takenya for doggie daycare, and our dog had a wonderful day! Takenya LOVES dogs and it shows. Remy immediately took to her and the several photos and videos she sent showed how comfortable he was in her home and with her. He came home happy and tired🥳 Thank you, Takenya for caring so deeply and communicating so well!”
“Kira took our 8-month old Pomeranian for the day and provided many updates and photos. Otis looked very comfortable in her space and with her dog.”
“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.”
“Deanna is so welcoming to both me and my pet! I have been delighted with her care and communication. It makes all the difference in the world to leave my pet with a kind, caring, fun person and home and that's Deanna! My dog, Foxy, runs right up to her and comes back with a smile and signs of a fun day! Thanks, Deanna!!”

About: Pet sitter with over a decade of experience. Formerly an early childcare director, so the safety & well being of your loved ones is my top priority :) I am big on communication and enjoy sending updates, photos and videos while caring for fur babies. I work a very flexible job that allows me to be in and out of the house each day. Communication is paramount for me - prior to beginning services I will get to know you and your pet(s), and we will discuss your priorities and expectations to ensure a positive experience for your fur baby. At this time I am only offering services at clients’ homes. I have several references available for your peace of mind. I enjoy sending multiple detailed updates throughout the day, with pictures or videos as well! Comfortable administering medication and providing puppy, kitten, or senior pet care.

I can walk and play and sit with your pet to make sure they feel loved and have fun.

About: While I do not have a dog of my own, I love caring for and playing with my friend’s dogs and love learning their unique personalities. I am full time pet sitter while I focus of a career change. I am reliable, trustworthy, and care deeply about your pets wellbeing. I communicate clearly and promptly and want to give you the peace of mind that your animals are being cared for well. I have a fenced in back yard and a cat. I do not have access to a crate so if that is necessary, it would need to be provided.
About: No matter the size, breed or personality of your pet, earning their trust and friendship (along with your own trust) is my top priority. I grew up in a multi-pet household taking care of dogs, birds and small animals. Since then, I have taken care of horses, anoles, cats, parakeets and my curiosity for getting to know an animal's individual personality has only grown over that time. I currently have two dogs: an Australian shepherd and border collie mix, both of whom I raised from puppies by myself. We are an active family, walking/hiking and in general spending time exploring the neighborhood for hours a day, traveling together for camping or cabin vacations in our free time. It's cliche, but my dogs are truly my family and as a long-time Rover user on the customer side, I understand what it means to have a sitter/walker you can trust while you're away. I love finding people who strive to understand them as individuals and who are sensitive to their needs. My border collie is highly sensitive and I have learned to work within his limits, giving him the stimulation he needs by finding more isolated parks to sniff around, mental challenges inside, etc. that keep him entertained while reducing stress. I am more than comfortable getting to know your own pets' quirks and finding ways to keep their days consistent and stress-free. Pet care is already at the center of my life, as I have two energetic herding dogs. We walk frequently every day to help burn energy -- I like to let my dogs walk at their pace so they can sniff around and stimulate their brains while getting exercise. As someone with pets I understand the importance of trust-building in drop-in visit situations. As your schedule permits, we can meet beforehand via a meet and greet to get a feel for your schedule and space, and how to support your comfort and your pets'. Pets thrive with routine, and I strive to support that.
About: I’ve been obsessed with dogs since I was a kid. It started with a family German Shepherd and never really stopped. Over the past few years, I’ve regularly cared for dogs for friends and family, including senior dogs and high-energy breeds. I’m good with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I work hybrid, but my partner and toddler are home full-time, so your dog will always have people around in a calm, lived-in space. I work hybrid: three days a week in-office, the rest from home. My partner and toddler are home full-time, so your dog will always have company and a stable routine. We’re an animal-loving home without a dog of our own, so yours will get our full attention. We have a fenced-in backyard, live near multiple parks, and go on walks regularly. The house is calm, lived-in, and ready to follow your dog’s routine!
“Serena walked my dog Primo a few times for me these past 2 weeks. She was responsive, friendly and Primo seemed to really like her! She was a great and reliable dog walker that I would use again and recommend!”
About: Hi, my name is Katie. I am an experienced pet sitter, and I love giving all my clients extra love and attention, just like my own family's dog. I grew up with shelties. While I don't have any pets of my own right now, I just graduated from a master's program and have lots of love to give your furry friends. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, and have a special place in my heart for senior pets. Those I’ve dog sat for before describe me as warm, an excellent communicator who gives great peace of mind while they’re away. I am happy to pop by your home for an evening or weekend walk with your furry friend, or we can schedule an overnight stay. I am very attentive to my client's needs and remain attentive to my surroundings. When I'm out walking with a dog and I see another dog, I make sure to steer the dogs away from one another, even crossing the street if needed. I will check to make sure they have enough water before I leave and that all the doors are locked.
About: I've had 22 years of experience living with and loving black labs in south Minneapolis. I can accommodate dogs of any age. I love to be outdoors and enjoy walking. My work week is full; however, I am fully available on the weekends to dote on your pup. I am a teacher. From mid-August to mid-June my weeks are full. My weekends are open. I'm available over holidays. I am also available throughout the summer. I have a small home with a fenced-in yard and a park within blocks. For the past twelve years, I had a dog, and we walked every day. I greatly miss my companion and would love to shower your dog with lots of love and care.
About: As a community oriented dog-lover, I strive to provide excellent service to both you and your furry friends! I have taken care of dogs or all kinds since I was young from Duck Tolling Retrievers, Cavaliers, Terriers, and plenty of our rescue mixes. I am an avid walker and love taking dogs out on their own personalized strolls. I have raised several puppies into confident dogs, been patient with the shy and the elderly, and am ready to play with rough housers. I am in a unique situation of flexible working hours to be available for your pets and you. Need sitting for a small mammal or reptile? Reach out! I have experience in all sorts of small friends! I am a full time real estate agent which means my hours are flexible. Most of my work is done right from home and my days are neatly scheduled to make sure when I need to be out of the house, I will be able to return within a few hours. My schedule will only be open so long as I have the time to care for your pet in my home without too many hours away. If you are boarding your dog, rest assured, they will be comfortable and safe with me. I live in a secure condominium that has been pet-proofed since day one with a live-in Cavalier who is gentle as a lamb. Dogs will never be taken out without a leash and will never interact with anything outside of the home without my supervision. With my schedule, they will be taken out many times throughout the day and can be kept on any feeding schedule you require.
“Molly truly treats your dogs like they’re her own. She fully embraces their personality, faults, quirks, and all. Anyone would be lucky to have their pets’ taken care of by Molly, they’re in GOOD hands!🤍”
“Molly was such a joy to work with and went above and beyond to give our dog a much needed break and extra attention in the middle of the day. We will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“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”
“Charlie loves walking with Tracy. She has a calming and positive nature that helps with his high energy. He watches out the window for her. I really appreciate it, along with her flexibility with my schedule.”
“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!”
