“Maria was an amazing sitter for my dog, Yogi, during her two-week stay! She provided exceptional care, keeping me updated with timely messages, pictures, and details about Yogi’s days. Maria’s spacious yard was perfect for exercise, and her neighborhood provided a great environment for walks. Maria is incredibly responsive and attentive, making the whole experience while I was awayy stress-free. I could see how happy and well-cared-for Yogi was while I was away, and she enjoyed it. Thank you so much, Maria! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter.”

“Promise and her pups took really great care of my corgi for a week while I was away for work. I received consistent updates and when I picked up Mooney she seemed happy!”
“Terrie was so wonderful with my Micky, she made me feel very comfortable with leaving her. Micky has high separation anxiety and does not do well away from me. Fortunately Terrie was able to make Micky feel safe and loved. I can't say enough about Terrie's home, I'm truly impressed with her and will definitely use her again. I'm very picky about who cares for my Micky, therefore I'm thankful for Rover.com and the service they provide for our precious pet family members. Thanks again Terrie and I look forward to using you again in July. Micky's Mom”

“Wow. What can I say. We were blown away by Emily’s kindness. She is the ultimate dog mom, sweet and caring. We took the longest trip we’ve ever taken away from our pup (miniature dachshund). Emily set up a meet and greet so our pup could meet her lovely dogs. Emily asked a ton of questions to get to know our dog. Which made me feel so much better. The meet & greet went great and meeting Emily put all my fears of leaving our pup aside. I knew our pup would be well loved and cared for and boy was she ever! We received daily updates, photos and videos. It was so nice to see her while we were so far away. Knowing she was being spoiled while we were across the world made our trip that much more enjoyable. As you all know, leaving a pup is like leaving a child. I never once worried about her. If you are looking for a loving, caring sitter for your pup, Emily is your gal. We plan to use her for our dog sitter as long as she’s willing. We are so lucky we found her!! Thank you so much, Emily!!!”
“Our chihuahua/terrier Fitz loved his stays with Lan! He returns to her house with a hop in his step, running full speed ahead into her arms. His behavior says it all - he feels safe and we’ll cared for. What more could we ask? We live out of town and connected with Lan on a family visit - we hope to have Lan care for Fitz in future visits!”
“Betsy and Mark were fantastic!! They were incredibly patient and loving with my very high maintenance puppy. Even when it was below freezing she took my dog for a walk!! She always sent updates and photos so I could stay informed on her stay. I would absolutely recommend, your pup will be in heaven. I know Izzy, my pup, can’t wait for her next stay.”
“Judy does a great job with Precious. She posted about her playtime and mentioned how she throws the toys around. This was our 3rd time with Judy and would do it again.”
“Lydia is a great sitter and lovely person! She is very wise about dogs and their well-being. We feel very lucky to have Lydia look after our dog. She sent great photos and daily updates. She was quickly responsive. Her home is terrific for pups.”
“Jacquie did a great job! King had a great time and came back home tired! She was also quick to help us out when he needed a sitter in such short notice! ”
“Jordan did a remarkable job taking care of our Millie! You can tell he has a way with animals. Very easy-going and so sweet when it comes to being around Millie. It was also nice to get updates when we were away for the first time, he sent us pictures which were very helpful keeping us feeling like we made the right choice. Thank you so much Jordan! We will pass on you for friends and family!”
“Our pup made herself right at home and was well cared for by Joayne and her kiddos. Easy to communicate with her and convenient pick up on the home from the airport. I would be happy to have our pup stay here again!”
“My dog had a great time. Pamela sent updates and pictures throughout his stay and her whole family played with him and gave him lots of affection. He was treated just like a member of their family.”
“Taffy is playful and sweet but she can be sensitive and she is afraid of bigger dogs. (Taffy is a 12-pound small dog), Alyson was very open to schedule a time for Taffy to visit her home and meet”
“Dave is exceptional! He was extremely patient and kind with my two dogs, as they both require extra patience, as one is very old and one is a barky two-year-old. We felt that our elderly and very young dogs were in excellent hands with Dave. He is also a great communicator and responds quicky with any questions. Thank you so much, Dave!”

“Addison was absolutely amazing with Phoebe. She was very thorough in her daily updates and always provided lots of pictures. I have a more anxious cat around people and she was very good at respecting her boundaries and listening to her cues. I would definitely recommend Addison to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets while they are away :)”

Highly recommend.”
“Great sitter, came by every day to check on my cat and made sure there was always food and water. My car is normally a bit shy but started to be more social after the 1st day which was good to see”

“Kira was amazing with my newly adopted dog. I didn't want him to be alone during a few medical appointments I had, so he stayed with her a few times. He came home so exhausted and happy and I was able to feel very comfortable and not worry about him being alone at his brand new home. I will definitely rebook with her again. Thanks Kira!”
“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!!”

“Lily had another amazing day with Mark and Lely! She came back home wiped out from a fun filled day. We’re always so happy to get all the adorable pictures and updates throughout the day. We would book with them again and again!”
“Alyson is wonderful! Our pup stayed with her while we were visiting town and I'm so so glad we found her. Alyson was super responsive and easy to communicate with and really flexible. Plus my pup was zonked out after we picked him up, so he must have played a lot and had a great time.”
“Krista was so flexible with our crazy schedule and took amazing care of George. We loved receiving photo updates from her and reassurance he was doing okay. We will definitely reach out to use her again, thank you Krista!”

“My dog Louie had the best day at Emily’s!! Emily works from home and keeps Louie active during the day. He loved playing with her dogs and the long walk he got! Louie will definitely be back!!”
About: I’ve had 4 dogs that I trained with assistance from a professional. I’m home a lot and by a lake. I walk friends dogs too. I work every other week and even when I do work it’s short hours so your loved ones get outside frequently or have me around. My surroundings are pet friendly and there is a small unfenced yard for potty breaks. The neighborhood is quiet too, if you have an anxious little one. I am patient and love dogs and look forward to getting to know your loved ones.
“Lydia is extremely responsive and made things very easy for this first-time Rover user and her puppy. Puppy came home happy & tired but not exhausted or stressed out. Lots of updates & photos throughout the day. Great backyard space to run around.”
“Ashley is great with our pup, Banks! She sent us some great pictures while we were skiing for the day! Thank you so much! We will have Banks with Ashely again :)”
“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.”
“More fun and sun for Scooter at Emily’s daycare with his BFFF! He gets love, exercise, love, play and sunbathing in his fleece shirt that Scooter feels he must wear! The photos were adorable! Scooter being Scooter! He was asleep during our long drive back & has retreated to an early bedtime! He is looking forward to spending time with you soon! Thank you!”
About: I've had pets for most of my life, and love all animals. We had a miniature schnauzer growing up, then in college I adopted my late cat, Boots. I recently had to say goodbye to my 12.5 year old GSD mix, Gabby. Gabby was my soul dog, and I cared for her like she was my child. Both Boots and Gabby had different health issues in their later years, so I have experience administering meds, giving feline subcutaneous fluids and have used canine mobility aids (help em up harness and wheelchair). I absolutely love watching my friends and families pets and am proud to be my friends' top choice for pet sitting while they are gone or busy. Safety is my top priority along with making sure they get the attention and exercise they need everyday. Now that I don't have any pets of my own, it would bring me great joy to help you with yours. I hope to meet you and your fur baby soon! I am currently open at any time during the week and weekends as I freelance and work from home. I prefer daytime hours from 7am to 9pm, unless I am boarding your pet at my home. I'm a highly responsible and reliable person. I take pride in the way I care for animals, and have safety and comfort at top of mind. If I board your pets, I have a fenced-in back yard and a dog friendly yard/garden. If I come to your home to walk or watch your pet, security will also be top priority.
About: I have enjoyed taking care of all sorts of animals and owning a wide variety throughout the years. I have a BS degree in Veterinary Technology and have worked for a private pet sitting company. Experienced with all breeds, ages, energy levels, and special needs. I am available every weekend for sitting at all hours. During the week I work from home full time between 9-6pm. I can offer bathroom breaks as needed. I am very cautious while walking dogs and monitoring play time. I take care to avoid getting too close to other dogs on walks and keep a very close watch on the animal behavior during playtime and in the dog park.
“Jen is an absolute rock star! She definitely understands dogs and pack behavior. She basically has her home/yard set up to accommodate dogs—plus she expertly monitors her pack (she has a few of her own dogs and then takes in 2-3)- Trust me when I tell you that she is attentive and aware of their interactions and play styles and she keeps them occupied throughout the day with interactive toys and enrichment activities. I am extremely impressed and confident that she knows how to make a great daycare environment for dogs! My pup had so much fun and was extremely tired after spending the day at her house. Don’t get me started on all the pics and videos and updates she shared throughout the day! And she sent us on our way with home-made dog treats! Add to that an extremely reasonable rate when it’s so expensive out there -and I give her an absolute overall A+ I’m excited to share this review but also kind of want to keep it a secret so she won’t get too overbooked for us in the future!! 🤷🏻♀️🤞😊”

“Kaitlyn was great with our Doberman! She took lots of photos during their walk and was great with communicating. We will definitely work with Kaitlyn again. Thanks so much for taking such great care of Buddy!!”
About: I’m an Animal Science graduate and I train service dogs with Can Do Canines, so I have a lot of experience working with dogs in different environments and understanding their behavior and needs. I’ve worked with puppies, high-energy dogs, and older pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m very attentive to body language and routines, and I always try to make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I also grew up with dogs and have hands-on experience raising and training my own family pets—including a feisty dachshund puppy who I helped train into a gentle, well-behaved dog, along with two other dogs with strong obedience and great temperaments. My background means I naturally reinforce good habits, use positive reinforcement, and keep things consistent with what your pet already knows. I truly love spending time with animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own—whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them some extra attention and cuddles. After graduating from UMN, I’ll be working part-time at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Roseville (around 20 hours per week). My schedule varies slightly week to week, but this also gives me a lot of flexibility for pet care. Outside of my shifts, I have a wide availability and love filling my time caring for pets. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can often accommodate mornings, evenings, weekends, and extended stays. I currently provide care in clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable in their own environment and routine. I always take the time to learn your pet’s schedule, preferences, and any specific instructions so I can keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible. Safety is my top priority. I’m very attentive to surroundings on walks and in the home, and always monitor pets closely. With my background training service dogs, I’m confident handling a variety of behaviors and situations calmly and responsibly. I also have experience administering medications, including oral, topical, and injectable medications, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions when needed. I respect your home as if it were my own, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and communicate as much as you’d like so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Sydney has walked our dog, Gus, a few times now and he can be a bit hard to manage. He’s very excitable, reactive, and loves to jump and lunge at things that catch his eye. Sydney has done a great job of managing (all 70lbs of) him and keeping him safe! He is SO excited when he sees her walking up to our door, which makes me trust her even more.”
“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!”
“Alex is a wonderful dog walker. We had an older dog who was declining in health. We’d update her on how our dog’s day was going and she would adjust the walk to meet our dog’s needs that day. She is very professional and always got our dog walk in during the time window we had agreed to.”
“Kayla was a life saver for me this past week! I typically work from home but was traveling for work - so Kayla came over during the workdays to take Barley for a walk. She was flexible, responsive, and loving towards my two-year-old golden. She even offered to bring Barley a raincoat when it was raining one day the days! I will definitely be using Kayla again on my next work trip!”
About: Hi! I’m Steph — a full-time pet caregiver through Rover and the heart behind a growing pet photography business. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13 and have experience with all kinds of animals, from high-energy pups to quiet companions. I share my life with my dog Scooby, who’s a big lovebug and gets along great with both people and other animals, and two leopard geckos, Helios and Haku, who each have their own little quirks and charm. Over the years, I’ve worked closely with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also have hands-on experience with pet nutrition and wellness—I've worked with a variety of healthy foods, natural supplements, and holistic care routines. I’m great at picking up on subtle signs when something’s off and take pet health seriously. Whether we’re playing fetch, going for a walk, or just snuggling on the couch, I’m all about creating a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared for. I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I always follow your instructions to a T—because your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s happiness. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, understood, and completely at ease while you’re away. I am very flexible with my schedule so please feel free to send me a request or a direct message to sent up an appointment! I have worked with certified fear free trainers as well as being a groomer for 3 years now I am very aware of animal body language and how to meet their needs so they feel safe in their environment. I do have a dachshund mix named Scooby that is incredibly friendly with Small to XL dogs. She’s always up for having a play date!
“Madisen has been so wonderful with my dogs! I trust her completely to take great care of them. She keeps me updated and sends lots of adorable photos too. I’d recommend her to anyone!”
“Darwin is incredibly reliable, and they work very well with our pup Sage. We have been able to rest easy during the work day (and check our pet camera less!), because we know Sage is in good hands with Darwin. They have even taken some time during our booking to reinforce training with Sage!”
About: I grew up with dogs and love spending time with them. I’m excited to give your dog a safe space and play with them! I don’t currently have a pet of my own so I love dog sitting. Flexible during each day of the week and flexible during work hours as well. Please give notice when scheduling or canceling a time with me. I live in an apartment with a lot of green space and parks around. Plenty of dog friendly walking. I’m comfortable adjusting to your homes environment as well to ensure the dogs needs are met.
About: I have cared for animals since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have asked me to petsit, walk, bath and help care for their animals. I can care for puppies/kittens to seniors and everyone in-between. I rely on positive reinforcement for training. I can administer medications, trim nails and other care required. I have worked as a Vet Tech and currently I am in school to become a certified Vet Tech. I am currently in school with mostly online classes so I can seamlessly accommodate your pets care. I will send daily updates and/or photos if requested. I care for your pets from the comfort of your home giving you piece of mind while traveling while your pet will be less stressed.
“Jenna does a wonderful job with my greyhound Roo! She is attentive to her needs and reports concerns whenever she has them. She even has Roo trying to take me on her longer walking routes! I'm thrilled to have her support in caring for my sweet pup.”
About: I’ve had different breeds of both cats and dogs throughout my entire childhood so I understand the responsibilities needed to properly take care of a variety of pets. My parents have also been on Rover for a couple of years and I alway love helping them out! This also means I understand the apps processes and how to navigate it. I’m a college student at Macalester college, so right now I’m on summer break. I am flexible with owners schedules and willing to driving all around the metro for visits or at home stays! I can do whatever the owner feels is necessary for their pet. Whether it’s putting pets into crates, or active play, or if meals need to be more hands on, I feel comfortable caring for them in pretty much any situation. I don’t have much experience caring for dogs with special needs, so some animals who need that type of assistance might be out of the realm of care I can provide.
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.
