“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“LAN was great with my young Labradoodle. He stayed with her for two weeks while I was out of the country. She put my mind at ease by sharing pictures and videos of him playing with her dog Lucy. He seemed very comfortable and well cared for with her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”

About: I love working with cats! I was late to the cat world and wasn’t around them until I was in my mid 20’s but they are so wonderful. I’ve often been called a cat whisperer. I have trained all of my own cats to come and sit and do tricks. I have my own cats, but always watch my friend’s cats. I also have experience caring for and socializing 10 live-in cats at my previous job which lasted more than a year.
“Scott was fantastic with my kitty, Iyla. They gave her all the love, attention, and treats in front of cat TV to bring up her mood while I was away! The report cards were thorough - Scott would take many pictures over the course of a visit. Would absolutely hire Scott to watch Iyla again.”
“Molly did a fantastic job watching my two cats. I felt very comfortable with her care of them and they really liked her a lot. I've already booked her again. Highly recommend.”
“She did a wonderful job with my guinea pigs. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of when I was gone. I was nervous about leaving them for an extended period of time as they are older guineas pigs, but she did better than I could have expected. I would highly recommend”
“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.”
“Sophie is so great with our scaredy-cats and manages to coax them out of hiding with some treats! They do very well with her, it's a great comfort when we're traveling to know they are in such good hands.”
“Rob was an excellent sitter for our cat. He responded quickly to messages and was willing to adjust based on additional requests we had and gave us information on how he saw our cat Nephi was doing. Very grateful for him and highly recommend him.”
“Tanya was wonderful taking care of our cat for a week. We came back to a happy cat and our home just as we left it! Great communication throughout and appreciated Tanya keeping us well informed with each check in. Thanks 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!”
“Caroline provided excellent care for my cat, who needs twice-daily insulin injections. She was super responsive to messages and sent lots of pictures and a summary for every visit.”
“I can always count on Lillian to take care of my girls when I'm gone--she gives them lots of play time and cuddles and I feel at ease knowing she's taking great care of them!”
“Olivia took wonderful care of my cat Harriet! She was very communicative, attentive, and thorough, and it was reassuring getting her updates and photos every day and knowing that my shy kitty was happy and comfortable.”
“Lucy did a great job house sitting and taking care of my two cats. The house was spotless when I returned from my trip and I could tell the cats had been well cared for. Lucy is great!”
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.
About: I have had a dog (yellow lab) since I was in sixth grade, and I have taken care of coworker’s pets on occasion. I now have a rescue pitbull I love dearly. I can walk and play and sit with your pet to make sure they feel loved and have fun. I am currently out of school for the summer and I have a very flexible schedule, and I would love to come hang out with your pets! I like to hang out with animals and make them feel comfortable; I have a nice large fenced in backyard, and I have a car that I can take your pet in, if they like going in the car. I am used to giving a dog two walks a day, in the morning and evening.
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.

“Karen and Ryan have been the best sitters for my puppy. He’s always so happy to go to their house. They’ve been feeding him and helping with a medical need during the day and are flexible when I’m running late from work. Would recommend them to friends and family!”
“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.”
“It was my 3 month old puppy’s first time at doggy daycare and Lydia made me feel very comfortable leaving my puppy alone for the whole day with Lydia’s own puppies and other dogs she was taking care of. She also took pictures to update me on my puppy. Will definitely book Lydia again.”
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.
“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 😊”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“Kira and Alejandro do such a fantastic job with my shy dog who has trouble socializing. I’m so grateful he’s in good hands when they watch him!”
“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: 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.
“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”
“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!!”
“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.”
About: I’ve had 1-2 dogs since birth — and my own babies came home from the hospital greeted by our pup, Mister Beef Wellington (Wellie) as well. I believe that my life and the lives of my children are better and more fulfilling with a dog along for the ride. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I own my own business that I do part-time in between caring for my two daughters. Ideal clients are ones that like other dogs and children as that opens up my availability more as they’d tag along on walks or pop ins (if you’re comfortable with that!) I have a fenced yard and a very mild mannered Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to keep your pup company. Happy to let your dog in / out of crate, feed them, play, etc.
“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.”
About: I grew up with dogs and they are truly my heart and soul. We currently have 2 dogs 2 cats, (although one dog is a part time since they follow shared custody with the teens). We would absolutely love to take in your dog. We both work from home so they would get plenty of loving and attention! I work from home full time, along with my partner who also works from home; so honestly I'm very open. Our own dogs generally are taken out about every 3 hours regardless if they go potty or not. The animals have free range of the house (minus our bed) 😊 I do have a yard, although its not fenced, we have a track or a ground post if your worried about them running away while being outside. We also love to take walks. If they stay close and listen well, I generally stay outside with them. I can easily crate your dog if 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.

“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 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.
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to communication. As a dental student and Navy scholar, I'm highly responsible and organized. I'm also active (just ran my 2nd marathon!) making me a great fit for pets who love walks and playtime, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently in my summer break from dental school and would love to spend my time outside, exploring new neighborhoods with your dogs! I also have a dog of my own and am excited for new adventures with Honey. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. I'll respect your home, follow your pet's routine closely, and provide attentive care, companionship, exercise, and lots of love while you're away. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can stay connected and confident that your pet is in good hands.
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!
“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’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.
“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!”
“We were so happy to have Abby walk our dog. She was prompt, took her on a great 2 mile walk (thanks for the pics!), and even fed her dinner and let her outside one last time before she left. We will definitely use her again! 😉 🐾”
“Annie is fantastic! Our dog gets really excited when she sees Annie come to take her on a walk. Annie is a great communicator with us too. I highly recommend her to walk your furry loved one.”
“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!!”
About: Hi! I’m a grad student at UMN who absolutely loves animals. In college, I volunteered weekly at the Humane Society taking care of cats who had special medical needs and taking dogs on walks. Additionally, I worked as a veterinary surgical assistant helping to care for both cats and dogs as they underwent a variety of procedures. So, I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities, needs and ages! I love spending time being active outdoors - whether it’s long walks, runs, hikes, or rollerblading! I also have a cozy couch that is perfect for snuggling up with furry friends and reading or watching a movie. I’ll treat your pet with lots care and make sure they feel loved and safe while you’re gone. I am a dental student with a flexible weekend schedule, so I am regularly available all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My schedule varies, but I often have a couple of days during the week where I study from home, so I will have lots of time to spend with your furry friend! I have a large studio apartment with lots of windows. My apartment has a big rooftop dog run where your pup will be able to play and go potty! There are also lots of walking paths nearby where I will be able to take them on walks.
“Molly did a wonderful job walking our pups while we were out of town! We appreciated how punctual and communicative she was, sending us lots of pictures each time she visited. We could tell she gave the dogs lots of TLC and was very attentive to each of their different needs (one dog is a young energetic pup and the other is much older and low key). We’d absolutely work with her again!”

About: My name is Serenity, and I guarantee peace of mind when you leave your animals with me. I grew up on a farm and with a mother who adores animals. I've cared for all kinds of animals and have extensive experience with looking after their well-being and health. I love any animal from big dogs to baby kittens. I know that your pet is like family to you. If you choose me as a sitter, I can promise that they will be treated as family. I can work with rescues and special diets. I can bottle feed and help with disabled animals as well. Not only am I able to look after your animals with the care that is necessary, I can also ensure the loving environment any animal deserves :) I am a college student who has lots of extra time this summer. I recently moved states and I deeply miss my own pet family; for that reason I plan on working with animals as much as possible. Tell me what you need, I'll work with you! I don't plan on hosting because I live in an apartment, however I am very respectful of spaces that aren't mine. If you need me to watch your babies over night, I promise I'll treat your space with as much respect as my own- even if your pet makes a mess, you wouldn't be able to tell because I'd clean it asap!
“Emily took great care of our dogs! She was on time for our meet and greet and made sure she got to know both Pete and Rosie. When she came to walk the dogs, she was able to get Rosie outside and down the road (which is a big accomplishment with a timid, blind dog)! We definitely would recommend Emily.”
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.
“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.”

“Our pup Hugo had another fantastic stay with Lydia. He loves being there and interacting with her and her dogs. She’s always great at communicating and we get tons of pics of our dog. Highly recommend! She is amazing and so caring of our dog.”
“Sally was just great with Flora. She shared a lot about how the day was going a Flora was super well taken care of! She has 2 cutes pups and they got along super well! Thank you so much!”
“Katie did an awesome job taking care of Copper! She did a great job sending updates that included pics and videos. Could tell that he had a great time with her! Would highly recommend.”
“Our pug LOVED his 4-day stay with Brenda and her family! Our little guy got along great with her two pit bulls and really bonded with their little boy. The dogs played and ran together in the fenced in yard. Our pug came home happy and ready to nap. Each day, I received a couple of photos with a brief update which I appreciated. This was a short-notice booking, and I am so grateful that Brenda was available. We will definitely arrange dog-sitting with Brenda in the future.”
“Kira is an absolutely wonderful; I am so glad I found her! She took excellent care of my puppy and was always looking out for her. She takes incredible photos and shared them with me frequently, which I really appreciated. She was prompt and easily accessible to correspond with and I appreciated her flexibility. My puppy loved her and her dogs and was comfortable staying with her for daycare and for boarding. I highly recommend Kira!”
“Tim is an amazing caretaker for our 2 pups! He's extremely communicative and sends fun updates! He even sent them home with new toys! We're so appreciative and will definitely ask him to watch them again!”
“I highly recommend Jessie. She was so great to our dog Ivy; she took her on walks, car rides, to Bachman's, and gave Ivy treats (approved by us). Jessie sent us updates every single night with lots of pictures. Ivy definitely missed Jessie once she got back home 🥰”
“Mack had a fantastic long weekend at Kara and Adam's house! Reservations and meet-up were a breeze and Kara's communication was timely and did a lot to calm our nerves around being away from Mack for the first time; pictures were an awesome bonus. Will definitely book again.”
“Maddy loves Doc and Heather! She has stayed there several times and is always well taken care of. Secretly, we are beginning to think she loves it at Doc and Heathers more than in our own home. Maddy literally runs to their door!”
“Emily and her son were wonderful. My pup had an emergency come up right before my trip and I'm not sure what I would have done without their help. Thank you for being so good to my pups! I am forever grateful 🙏.”
“Jessica and Grant (and Cooper) are fantastic! They take such great care of our dog, Kirby. Kirby loves spending time with them and playing with Cooper.”
“Nicole and David are so kind and caring, they provided frequent updates and videos/pictures which is always reassuring to know your pet is having a great time!”
