Our dogs LOVED running around in her big backyard, and getting to make themselves at home on her furniture. Erin's two dogs also got along really well with our dogs. We appreciated getting pictures and videos every day to let us know our girls were doing well. We would definitely use Erin again to watch our doggies!”

Would absolutely recommend Ryan if you are looking for someone to care for your dog.”
“We are so pumped we found someone to trust our sensitive, teddy-bear of a pitty with when we travel! Jacquie and her hubby are true animal lovers and took care of our Cowboy just as if he was their own. I could tell when I arrived to pick him up that he was comfortable and at ease in their home. I fully trust them and would highly recommend them, especially if you have a sensitive pup that can get home sick!”

I highly recommend Kevin and Caitlin for your dog sitting needs--your pup will be happy and well cared for. ”

“Lely and Mark were great! I got daily updates and pictures, and she almost didn’t want to come home with me when I came to pick her up. They remembered stuff I’d mentioned about some of her little quirks and I know she was comfortable and happy while I was out of town. I will absolutely be booking with them again when I have travel!”
“Air was a great host for my two girls!! She was very communicative and send a ton of photos. Pictures usually ease my anxiety so that helped me a ton!! My girls got to play outside in her yard and we’re having a blast. Will definitely book again”

“Scott was very accommodating of our cat's needs, routines, and quirks while we were away for 8 days. They were timely, communicative, and reliable.

Scott gave us peace of mind that our cat was in good hands while we were away.”

We absolutely without a moment's doubt will ask Jennifer again to care for Miss Greycie😻”

She followed all my instructions and sent me lots of pictures of my happy puppies.

About: I've been a dog lover my entire life. In fact, when I was little, I used to tell my mom I wanted to be a dog when I grew up! 😂 My passion for dogs led me to begin fostering in 2019, and since then I've helped around 40 dogs find their forever homes. I've worked with dogs from all kinds of backgrounds, though many of my fosters have been puppy mill survivors who needed extra patience, understanding, and support as they adjusted to life in a home. I've fostered with several wonderful rescue organizations, including Underdog Rescue, MidAmerica Boston Terrier Rescue, Minneapolis Animal Control, and Coco's Heart. Through fostering, I've gained experience with dogs of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I've also fostered blind and deaf dogs. I have experience administering oral medications, eye drops and topicals. Since losing my job in February, I've decided to focus on Rover full-time. The upside for your dog is that I'm home most of the day and can provide plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention. I live in a first-floor duplex in South Minneapolis with a fully fenced yard. I share my home with two friendly dogs: a senior blind Boston Terrier and a playful 3-year-old who loves having the right playmate. Because we've welcomed so many foster dogs into our home over the years, both of my dogs are comfortable meeting new canine friends and are adaptable to different personalities and energy levels. My younger dog is a swimmer, so during the summer we love visiting the dog park at Minnehaha Falls. If your dog enjoys adventures, has reliable recall, and you'd be comfortable with it, I'd be happy to bring them along! I want visiting dogs to feel as comfortable as possible, so I try to maintain the routines they're used to at home. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, and I'm flexible when it comes to crating, sleeping arrangements, and daily routines. If your dog normally sleeps in bed with their people, they're welcome to sleep with me too. While I do take my dogs on walks several times a week, daily walks are not part of our regular routine. If your dog requires daily walks, please let me know at the time of booking so we can discuss their needs and make sure we're a good fit. I provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and having a great time. A few things to know before booking: • While I am home most of the time, there are occasional events or commitments that may keep me away for 4+ hours. I will do my best to communicate this ahead of time, but please let me know if your dog cannot be left alone for that length of time so I can confirm my schedule before accepting a booking. To ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone, my home is generally the best fit for dogs who are: • Comfortable in a relatively calm household. Very high-energy dogs can be stressful for my senior dog, who is blind. • Reasonably quiet when left alone. Normal barking at delivery drivers or unfamiliar noises is completely fine. However, because I live in a duplex with shared walls, I am unable to host dogs who bark continuously when alone or throughout the night. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and I'm always happy to answer questions to help determine if we're the right fit for each other.

“She was absolutely amazing! I'm a rover sitter myself and have been for years and even though she is newer to the game she's doing absolutely everything right! My dog is very sleepy and happy, I will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her”
“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!!”
“Jessie took great care of our senior dog! She was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. She sent detailed updates throughout the day and lots of cute photos!”
“Marisa did a great job handling three-month-old Basie’s first time away from his home and family. She even took the time to do a meet-and-greet between her dog and Basie ahead of time to make sure they would get along together. She also made sure that Basie had fun and got to do some safe exploring and socializing. I would definitely feel comfortable having her look after Basie in the future.”
“Jody takes amazing care of my pup. She is very diligent and caring, and has gone above and beyond for Roma when she has been sick. I trust Jody and continue to bring my dog for regular pet sitting. Jody is great.”
“Wendy was so awesome with our dog Ghost. He was really nervous at first when we were dropping him off but by the time we left him and got to our next destination, I already had a video and an update that he was fitting in just fine. All of my worries were gone at that point. We would definitely rebook with Wendy again!”
“Lydia has been watching my pup for several weeks now, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter! You can tell she really cares about all of the dogs she watches. She's a fantastic communicator and is flexible with schedules. I highly recommend her!”

“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!”
“Autumn helped us out on very short notice and was great with our pup! Thoughtful questions, great communication, and sent us a few pictures with an update each day. Would highly recommend!”
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.
“Kendall stayed with my two energetic dogs for a long weekend. She was great about regular updates and photos and treated my two girls like loved family members. They were not at all anxious when I returned, so I know she was a great choice for them and me. I look forward to booking her for my next trip, because I know they will be in good hands. Thanks Kendall!”
“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!”
“Angelica is awesome! She was very communicative and was very caring and thoughtful in how she interacted with my dog. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a walker or sitter!”
“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.”
“Marit was really helpful with filling a last-minute request to walk our dog! I appreciated the photos and communication and would definitely book Marit again.”
“We are so grateful for Emilie. She is caring and detail oriented—the ideal person to look after our senior dog. Having her help has been a big relief when we need someone to stop in and take care of Lela.”
“Jay was great! We will definitely request him again to walk Lucy😊. She’s a stubborn gal and a couple other walkers struggled to get her going- he walked a full 2 miles with her! Thank you again!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Ava was awesome! She had to walk my dog after dark, She made sure he went #2 before bringing him back. I would highly recommend her and will use her in the future for other services.”
About: Hi! I'm a proud Pembroke Welsh Corgi owner who genuinely loves caring for animals. I have my master's degree in accounting, and I'm currently working from home in downtown Minneapolis. My flexible remote schedule allows me to provide consistent supervision, walks, and quality time throughout the day. I grew up with two Golden Retrievers, so caring for dogs has always been part of my life. I'm experienced with high energy breeds that require structure, exercise, and mental stimulation. I treat every pet in my care like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work from home in downtown Minneapolis, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular walks, potty breaks, and quality time throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them feels less like an obligation and more like something I truly look forward to. I prioritize structure and reliability to ensure pets feels comfortable and secure. I live in a clean, one-bedroom apartment in downtown Minneapolis in a pet-friendly building. There is a public park that is two blocks away, and all pets are kept leashed at all times outdoors for safety. I prioritize secure entry and exit, closely monitor pets during walks, and follow all owner instructions carefully. Because I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision, attention, and care throughout the day.
