About: I had a cat for 17 years and he was my baby. Quirky and cuddly but also wild and strange. So I get cats. I've done foster work with cats and kittens as well
“Sierra did a great job of showing up on time and caring for my kitty. I was really comfortable with her during our meet and greet, Peepers was too so I knew it would be a good fit. I will definitely look for Sierra’s availability next time I need to travel. Thanks!”
About: 🐱 I’ve been around cats for most of my life and currently have two of my own. I found my emotional support cat in 2015, and he’s been by my side ever since- even traveling with me through college. In December 2024, I adopted another sweet girl cat, so caring for cats has become a huge part of my everyday life. I also volunteer at a shelter as a “Cat Buddy,” where I spend time socializing and caring for cats with all kinds of personalities and comfort levels. Over the years, I’ve developed a really special connection with cats and genuinely love earning their trust, whether they’re playful, shy, independent, or super affectionate. I know every cat is different, and I always try to make them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away through patience, attention, play, and companionship.
“Ciboney was great with my cat and I could tell by the pictures she sent that my cat enjoyed her as well. Timely and responsible - would definitely recommend!”
“We chose to hire Sophia as our very first sitter from Rover, and could not be more pleased with the wonderful care she took to look after our cats! Sophia communicated promptly and shared photos and videos during every drop-in visit. Both cats were clearly very content with Sophia’s care, and we were very pleasantly surprised when our very shy cat, who typically hides when strangers visit, was already happy to be out and about on Sophia’s first visit! We absolutely would recommend Sophia to others looking for compassionate care.”
“Jessica was timely, cheerful and took great photos! Easy to schedule with and provided plenty of feedback. Highly recommend, thank you for watching the girls!”
“Ashley took great care of our two cats! She was extremely communicative, dedicated time and attention to making sure they were active, and made sure they exhibited normal eating/drinking habits while we were traveling. Loved the pictures as well!”
“Emily is awesome! Very kind, friendly, and persevered through difficulties in getting into our building. Will definitely have Emily take care of our cat, Augie in the future.”

“Lauren was absolutely fantastic!! I couldn’t have picked a better sitter to make my cat feel comfortable and happy! Lauren went above and beyond with photos throughout every visit and A+ communication. She followed all directions as well as administered meds flawlessly. Thank you, Lauren! - Spice”
“Anna is such an attentive and consistent sitter and goes above and beyond. I always feel like my cat is in good hands! I will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Caroline was the best! Great communication and clearly very much an animal lover. Really put my mind at ease while I was away. I will book her again! It also helped that my girlie tigger really loved her.”
“My second time booking with Amber, and she does not disappoint! Thank you for taking such good care of my babies and keeping me posted with detailed reports and photos. I really appreciate 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.”
“Teresa did a great job as always taking care of Beans, Norman and Baby Girl. It's great to know they're in great hands while I'm away and I love all the updates she sends. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
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!

“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 are wonderful with my dog Atlas! They spent lots of time outside with him today and he had a blast playing with another dog. I know he’s in really good hands every time I leave him with them! He comes back home much better adjusted than when I drop him at the noisy dog daycare place which can often overstimulate him.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“We loved having Lindsey watch our dog, Maaya. She was very easy to communicate and coordinate with. She also shared lots of details and photos at the end of each day. Would highly recommend and have her watch Maaya 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.
“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.”
“Karen and Ryan were fantastic caregivers for our senior dog, Kurt. Great communication before and during the visit. Beautiful home with a wonderful fenced yard. Super flexible with drop off and pick up times. Very friendly and professional. Kurt loved his three days with them. I highly recommend Karen and Ryan for your pet-sitting needs in Minneapolis.”
About: I have grown up my whole life around animals and I love them very much. I have cared for animals of all ages and in many different kinds of situations. I can look after kittens or puppies, seniors, pets with unique personalities, and large dogs. I accept all breeds and can handle larger dogs due to my height. I can adapt to whatever your pet situation might be! I am currently unemployed and have all day and night to watch and care for a pet. I can walk dogs frequently, attend to any cleaning needs, give them attention or anything else they might need. I have a one bedroom apartment with open space in the living room and hiding spaces for a more timid pet. These areas can be blocked for safety reasons if needed. There are several parks and fields around my home for good walking and play. Accommodations can be made depending on the needs the animal has. I will be home with the pet to keep them company and ensure their safety. I have hardwood floors. My apartment is non smoking.
About: My family had 3 dogs growing up so I am very experienced with walking, interacting with and loving animals! I would love to watch your dog for the weekend, a few week days or whenever needed! I currently work from home 4 days out of the week so I would be able to stay home and take the dog outside or for a quick walk easily. I live with my fiancé who also works from home frequently and helps me out with the dog if needed. Weekends get booked up quick but we’d love some company to go for a walk, go to the dog park, or hang out if we are free! I live in an apartment but live right across the street from a large popular park that I walk around regularly. The park is very popular with pet owners as well.
“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!!”
“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.”
“Howie and Betsy were convenient, accommodating and flexible with my work schedules. They clearly love dogs and my baby boy was always happy to get out of the car and rush in to their home! Thank you.”
“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!”
“Dillon provides exceptional care and attention to my Roman. You can tell Dillon is a natural at this and is very good at what he does because Roman is always really happy to spend time with Dillon!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cared for them since I was 5 years old. I’ve had experience with both puppies and older dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages. I love spending time with dogs, especially taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel well cared for! I work every other weekend (Friday–Sunday) in the evenings at a hospital and have classes Monday through Wednesday afternoons. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to let dogs out, take them for walks, and give them the attention and care they need. I’m happy to work with each pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of exercise and companionship! I treat every pet as if they were my own and follow each owner’s instructions to maintain their pet’s normal routine. When caring for pets or stopping by for walks and visits, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals, and lots of affection. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while also providing updates and communication so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Scott is amazing. They're so good with Freya, and she loves them so much. She looks forward to walking with them and comes back very happy. I highly recommend Scott”
“Great First Experience with Rover I used Rover for the first time to find a last-minute dog walker, and it was a fantastic experience. My walker was super communicative, accommodating, and made the process stress-free. I got updates, photos, and a happy pup at the end. Highly recommend and will use again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and absolutely love caring for them! I currently have a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable with puppies, potty training, walks, playtime, feeding routines, crates, and all of the energy that comes with younger dogs. I also have experience with adult dogs of different sizes and personalities. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. I work Thursday-Sunday afternoons or evenings as a server. Here is a rough overview of my class schedule: Mondays: done by 10:30 Tuesdays: done by 12:00 and class again from 4-5:15 Wednesday: done by 10:30, class again from 6-9pm Thursday: class from 10-12:45 Friday: done by 10:30 Right now I live in an apartment, so id be able to stay at your house. I’m very used to staying overnight at other people houses
“Anna has been absolutely amazing to our sweet pup! She makes sure he gets plenty of exercise & I get lots of photos of their adventures which I love!”
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: Local resident of NE Minneapolis and owner of a 4 yr old Husky, I love dogs of all breeds and sizes! I provide daycare for your beloved furry friends at my house while I work remotely. My home has a fenced in backyard with a kiddy pool for them to run around in, a walking trail down the street, and a dog park nearby! I provide daily walks to the local park or trips to the dog park so they are well exercised and socialized while you are away. There is amble space for the dogs to play in the house (no crates are provided) with toys to plays with and treats! For overnight stays, you will get daily updates on how your dog is doing with photos. I work from home so I can let your pups outside into the backyard for potty breaks often, take them for a daily walk, and offer engaging treats/toys while I work. I’m done by 3pm most days so trips to the dog park are very common! Reliability, trust, and a calm environment are at the center of what I do. Your dog will be welcomed into a clean, secure, and loving home where they’ll be treated like family. I prioritize consistent communication with owners, close supervision, and plenty of affection so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free space where your pup feels comfortable, happy, and cared for.
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 pretty free. I walk everyday in the 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 cats and dogs especially can get pretty uncomfortable with sudden changes to their routines and schedules.
About: I’ve spent a lot of time caring for dogs of all ages and personalities—from energetic puppies who need structure and patience to senior dogs who need a slower pace and a little extra TLC. I’m big on keeping routines consistent, whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, or bedtime habits, so your dog feels safe and at home. I’m comfortable working on basic training with puppies (leash manners, sit, stay, potty routines) and I’m very attentive with senior dogs, including giving meds, helping with mobility, and making sure they’re comfortable and relaxed. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, so I can adapt quickly if a dog is anxious, shy, or just needs more space. What really sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with dogs—not just caring for them, but bonding with them. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I always aim to make their time with me calm, fun, and stress-free. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and am able to set my own hours, which allows me to easily plan my days around pet care. I’m primarily available Monday through Friday and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and care throughout the day without rushing. I generally keep weekends minimal and prefer limited or pre-planned weekend care when scheduled in advance. This helps me stay consistent and make sure every pet still gets the attention and care they deserve. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes only. I find that pets are often most comfortable in their own space, surrounded by familiar smells, routines, and environments. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and household rules. I’m very careful with doors, leashes, and home security, and I always keep the environment clean and safe. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level and adjust my approach to meet their needs. I also respect my clients’ homes and make sure everything is left exactly as I found it. Clear communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and check-ins to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.
“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!”
About: Hello! I have been consistently house/dog sitting since 2023. I have experience in watching dogs from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I previously have watched three dogs at a time, so if you have more than one dog that is no problem. I also have experience in providing dogs with medications needed throughout the day. This includes insulin shots and capsules/pills mixed into their food. While you are away I prefer to keep the dog in its original home rather than hosting your dog. I do require a meet & greet before services. This is for my safety alongside for you and your puppies comfortability with my presence. Beyond all else it’s important to me that your dog stays comfortable. I have cared for anxious, storm scared, epileptic, loud barkers, and jumpy puppies. It’s important to me that you communicate your animals behavior or traits so I can care to the best of my ability. Without a doubt I will accommodate to your dogs feeding requirements and potty breaks. Alongside that give them lots of cuddles, kisses, playtime, and walks. As for you… I will communicate how your puppy is doing, when I arrive, if any complications arise, and send photos! Your dog is in safe hands. I currently work at a coffee shop a few times a week! My hours usually range from 4-5 hours. So it’s never long enough to leave your puppy for long periods of time. I will always honor your puppies scheduled eating times and potty breaks throughout the day! Pets are so so important! As a caregiver, I want to relieve your stress and allow you to know that your pets are in safe hands! If you would be so kind to welcome me into your home, I can take care of them there. I would prefer to keep your animals where they feel most comfortable. A fenced in backyard is preferred, but taking them out on a walk is no hassle! Provide me with all of the important details on your puppy, and I can provide service towards them! ❤️
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.
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. We go back to our full-time jobs as educators on August 25, so our calendar reflects our school year availability (mostly weekends and some school breaks!) 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. Once the school year starts, our calendar reflects our weekend and school break availability! 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.)
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.
About: I grew up with dogs and have always adored and gotten along with them. Over the years I have pet-sat dogs and cats alike for friends and family, and I have two cats of my own. I enjoy long walks and making new dog friends, so you can be sure that your doggo will have an enthusiastic and caring play date! When petsitting in your home, I work hard to keep to your pet's schedule and keep them happy and comfortable. I am currently working very part time, so my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. I am definitely an early bird, so don't be afraid to send those morning requests my way :) I am attentive to all directions, routines, and special requirements given for each animal and activity. The safety and happiness of your pet, and your peace of mind, are my priority!
“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've been caring for neighborhood pets since I was 13, and now I’ve been all over the Minneapolis area! My family rescue dog and elderly cat are my babies, they make me the best temporary pet parent I can be for you. I lost one of my elderly cats rather suddenly this fall, so I can say I definitely understand the anxiety of being away from your pets especially those with health issues or behavior quirks. I do what I do because of her, and as a Minneapolis transplant away from my animals, I am more than happy to spend time with yours! I work part-time, though my hours fall in the 9-5 window. However, there is flexibility for me to work remotely for part or sometimes full days with advance notice, depending on the project. I can usually accommodate whatever exercise your pet needs! I am also a dancer, so if your dog has acute health issues or requires constant supervision, we may not be the best fit, as training does require me to be out of the house in the evening. No 4-hour rehearsals right now, but I do take class most days of the week. I'll do my best to stick to a comfortable, consistent routine for your pet and make sure they get all the proper attention and love they need while you are gone. I'm happy to accommodate any medication or feeding requirements.

I majored in animal science working on pre veterinary programs at the University of Minnesota twin cities. I can do basic wellness check for pets. I used to help my friends taking care of their dogs including walking two dogs together, feed and bath. I’m basically free every day.

“My dog had a wonderful stay with Promise and her dogs! She provided frequent updates, was very communicative, and I know she took the best care of Bo! He got lots of playtime and love, and I had complete peace of mind while I was away. I cannot recommend Promise enough and already have my dog’s next stay booked with her. Thank you, Promise!!”
“Kyle did a great job caring for our pup while we were out of town and was extremely prompt with all of our correspondence; including in our request to watch our pup, which really put us at ease! I definitely recommend him! :)”
“Brenda & family were amazing with Aspen. Aspen felt right at home and happy. I received regular updates and knew she was well taken care of. Highly recommended.”
“Lizzy was absolutely amazing with my pup Scott! Throughout my trip, she was super attentive, always kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. She responded quickly and showed so much love and care for him. I’m really happy with her service and would definitely recommend Lizzy again and again! 🐾”
“Molly was terrific and I'd highly recommend her! Nova received a daily walk each morning and evening and was clearly well cared for throughout her weeklong stay. We received daily photos showing Nova living the good life: walking, checking out some Minneapolis sights, cuddling on the couch for movie night, hanging out on the balcony, napping in her dog bed; just like part of the family. Also, Molly was very responsive on all communications from scheduling a meet and greet through final pickup.”
“Doc and Heather are wonderful dogsitters, and leaving my dog with them when I travel always gives me peace of mind. They take great care of her, send lots of photos, and are super communicative!”
“This is our second time having our pups stay with Eric and Martha and it was just as amazing as the first time! They’re our first choice when we are in need of a sitter and our dogs are so excited to see them! 🩷💙”
“It was a pleasure to meet Ashley, and I couldn't have asked for better care for Miley, our pup. Ashley walked her several times a day, encouraged me to bring Miley's bed and comfort items to make the home familiar and comfortable, and sent pictures during the week. We returned home to a dog that was happy to see us, but clearly comfortable and well cared for. Our thanks to Ashley, we will look forward to having her care for Miley in the future.”
“I cannot say enough nice things about Amy. She always takes such great care of my pup. He comes home exhausted from all the playing and activities. She goes out of her way to do the silly things I like to do for my dog. Highly recommended!”
“Sarah was great! She was able to watch Diesel within a VERY short notice from another sitter. (Diesel is not neutered and wanted to make babies with her dog) sarah arranged to pick up Diesel and took care of him. He was walked and could tell he had a good time because when we got him home he sprawled onto the floor tired lol. She took him on walks, played catch, cuddles and told me about his eating/bowel movements. She also sent pics while he was with her! I will definitely book with her again!”
“Dillon has a kind and calm personality which allowed our dog (and us) to feel totally comfortable while we were traveling out of state. Photo and text updates were also greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Dillon!”
