“I cannot say enough good things about Tracy. I was genuinely so nervous boarding my dogs for the first time, and from the very beginning she made me feel completely at ease. She was warm, patient, reassuring, and so communicative the entire time. What really stood out to me is how naturally comfortable my dogs were with her. You can tell she truly understands animals and cares about them like they’re her own. She sent updates and photos, answered my anxious first-time-boarder questions with so much kindness, and made the whole experience feel safe and personal. Finding someone you can actually trust with your dogs is huge, and Tracy is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Juno always comes home grubby and exhausted and SO HAPPY!!! She plays so well with Dayjah's dogs and I know when I have to leave her that she's going to have a blast. THANK YOU Dayjah!”
“My standard poodle, Brody, had only been away ever been away from home for a few days. He hs been a constant companion for the last six years. I was super concerned about leaving him for 18 days and how he would handle it. I didn't need to worry with Brittany taking care of him! She sent lots of photos daily, he was happy at her home! She was so kind and compassionate. He also has a minor medical condition, and Brittany cleaned and medicated his eyes daily. I couldn't believe how fortunate we were to find Brittany. We will certainly choose her as a sitter again!”
“Cherie did a great job taking care of our dog Ruby! She was great about sending pictures and updates so we always felt like we were in the loop on Ruby’s care. Ruby came home tired from all the walks!”
“I almost want to leave town just so we can use Kelsey again. Shiloh had the best time and came home exhausted from playing with Enzo We got great pictures and updates. Couldn’t be happier and will use again in a heartbeat.”
“Sylvia did a wonderful job with my cat, Lucky. She has a lot of experience and was great to work with. Communication was excellent and the daily pictures were awesome! Definately will use again! Thanks!!!”
“Lori was amazing! She made Nipsey feel like a part of the family! She updated me everyday and sent pictures of Nipsey. Nipsey definitely enjoyed himself and we will most certainly book her again!”
“This is the second time we've used Emily and she is wonderful! Our dog Diego loves being there and playing with their dog Maggie. She sends the cutest photos and Diego is always exhausted when he comes home. Highly recommend!”
“My dog had a wonderful vacation while staying with his family. I think she enjoyed time with everyone, in the family, Kay, Rick, Omar Justas and Vanya. Kay sent me many pictures of her with each, and every one with Willow. I will definitely book with them again. In fact, I have already tried, but they’re busy when I need them. We’ll see you again next time”
“Beth and Evan took great care of my GSD Maggie while I was out of town. They sent me photos of what Maggie was up to throughout the week. Maggie was in great spirits when I picked her up too.”
“Very flexible and understanding. I had a significant flight delay and couldn't pick up as planned and she allowed me to pick up the next AM with no issue. Prompt communications!”
“Carine and Eric took excellent care of my older Boston terrier. They kept me up to date on his activities and provided photos while we were away. I felt comfortable knowing he was in caring and capable hands. Will gladly book with them again for future care!”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own over the years and have raised them from puppies, so I’m very familiar with all stages of a dog’s life from training and high-energy puppy behavior to the needs of adult and senior dogs. I’ve also personally fostered two daschund dogs for several years while a friend went through a difficult transition, caring for them full-time until she was able to find pet-friendly housing. That experience really deepened my understanding of long-term, committed pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds from larger dogs like Boxers to small breeds like Boston Terriers, Dachshunds, and Yorkies. I truly love them all and adjust my care based on each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, I focus on making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me flexibility for walks, feedings, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. My availability is open, and I’m also available most weekends. At my home, I provide a safe, family-friendly environment where pets are cared for like part of the family. I have a 10-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy, so I always ensure interactions are supervised and safe for both the pets and children. I follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while staying in my home.
“Ramanda and her daughters were wonderful and took great care of my 4mo old puppy! They walked him, played with him and made him feel at home just like he was their dog. We will definitely ask them for care in the future!”
About: I have a very wide range of skills when it comes to caring for pets from dogs and cats to small animals. For four years, I had my own dog care business in which I boarded and walked dogs. For the past couple of years, I have spent my time studying and learning medical care of animals. I also have experience of working at an animal shelter with cats and dogs of all ages, behavior needs, sizes, and breeds. I have experience handling large breeds, aggressive animals, and animals with anxiety. I believe that my wide range of skills and experience with pets of all ages will make me a great match for caring for your furry friend! I'm currently working part-time at an animal shelter. This position requires about 15 hours of work per week, primarily on the weekends. Besides these shifts, I will devote all of my free time to caring for your pet! I have many parks near my home and am willing to take your pet on long walks. I would say that I am lenient with the animals' range in my own home as I will allow them on furniture and in any room.
“Thank you so much Alicia and Simon for taking care of Milo. it looks like he had great time at your house playing with Teddy and Daisy. Thank you so much for taking him out for a walk daily. Milo enjoys outside walk. Mamatha”
“My pup had an amazing experience! :) I also got lots of pictures to keep me updated while I was away :). I really appreciated Terrie taking the time to get to know my pup beforehand and cater to his needs and personality accordingly. I will definitely book with Terrie again! ❤️ ?”

“Britt was great with my 3 cats! She sent fun updates, took great care of them, and went above and beyond by cleaning up an “accident” one of them had while I was away. I felt good having them in her care.”

“Thank you for watching my sweet cat Jax while we were away. I felt so at ease knowing he had you to check in on him. I really appreciated all of the picture updates and the snuggles you gave him. I’m so glad we found you and will be sure to contact you in the future.”
“Amy was great with our two cats while we were gone for a week. She left detailed notes on her visits, and included lots of photos. I love that she also took the time to play with the cats. It was so nice to see the updates, and know they were well taken care of. We came home to happy, healthy kitties!”
“Katie is the best. I knew when I met her she was going to be great. Both my kitties had meds and she was able to administer them well. She sent pictures and kept me informed of all that was happening with the kitties. I highly recommend her.”
“Regina is a true gem! She went above and beyond for my cat. From starting out with in-home visits to realizing he wasn't coping well and offering to take him to her home. I am beyond grateful and highly recommend Regina.”

About: I haven had dogs in my house and taken care of them since I was 7 years old. I've participated in training classes with my black lab as a puppy, as well as daily dog chores like walking, feeding, and brushing. I also have experience taking care of injured and elderly dogs. Along with caring for my own pets, I've also pet sat for neighbors and friends before. These visits included walks, play time, feeding, brushing, etc. This summer I have a part time nanny job, so I will have plenty of extra time to take care of your fur babies! I will be available weekdays after 4pm and all day on the weekends. I understand that dogs can be hesitant when stranger enter their home, but try to greet new pets slowly and friendly and give them all the sniffs they need.
“Joanna did a great job checking in on my kitty Peaches. She reliably showed up as promised, communicated well, shared pictures and my cat loved her. She was good at telling with Peaches was in the mood to play or in the mood to cuddle and gave her all the love she craved. I will definitely have Joanna look in on Peaches again in the future. Highly recommend.”

“Our dog is an energetic dog that also needs some supervising and Tracy’s place was a great doggy daycare spot for his needs! She has a big fenced in yard that he can run around in, and dogs that he can play with! Would recommend”
“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.”
“Sonja and Adam were both very nice and their dogs too. I received a cute video of my dog playing with one of their dog during the day. They always answered my message quickly. They took care of Lola very well.”
“When our normal sitter for our 18 year old dog was unavailable we selected Dayjah to fill in. As our dog is old, we are very protective with him. We spike with Dayjah on the phone first. It was clear that she not only was very knowledgeable about about pet care, but even more important, she loved animals. Our dog did fantastic with Dayjah. Infact, he did not seem to want to leave when we picked him up. Dayjah has my highest recommendation in providing safe and loving care for your pet!”

“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!”
“I can't say enough about the fantastic care and love my pup received while at Kate and John's! I have a very active spaniel and playing outdoors, in a fenced in, safe environment is all I could ask for. The bonus is their kind and gentle dog that is ready to play with my pup when he arrives. I will definately book again!”
“Trish is wonderful with my diva senior dog. She spends time with her petting her on the floor and makes sure she is out to potty often enough with an old bladder. Trish is the best!”
“Joey is great! I never worry about my dog when he stays there. He was so excited to go when he did day care and would run to the door when we arrived. Definitely recommend.”
“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!”
About: **We stay pretty busy with our current dog families, so we may not be available to take your dog. Our first priority is the current families we work with.** **Our speciality is dogs 30 pounds and under. Please consider other Rover sitters for medium size dogs before you request care from us.** We've been watching dogs through Rover for almost 2 years now. We have many families that we watch their dogs frequently. Their dogs are excited to come back to our home, and we treat their dogs like family. They receive lots of love, attention, and care. We love our current Rover dogs and families. They are precious to us. Prior to Rover, we took care of our friends' pets as well as traveled to pet-sit in various US locations for about 8 years. My responsible teen & tween children love all animals. Just don't ask us to watch your pet centipede or ostrich!! We will take your dog on walks and give it lots of belly scratches and snuggles. If your dog likes to sleep on a bed, my middle daughter would welcome it to her full size bed. She's the one your dog is sure to bond to as she has a natural way with dogs. We are a homeschooling family, so we are home a lot (when we aren't traveling ourselves). We enjoy being outside and would welcome your dog to join us on walks and hikes. If your dog likes to go for drives, we can do that too. We have a large yard, but it is not fenced in. Our neighborhood has lots of sidewalks, so we go for both short and long walks. My kids are gentle with pets and like to treat them like royalty.
“So, i was pretty nervous to leave my precious, sick, 4-month-old furbaby with an internet stranger. But we had good conversations beforehand and he had lots of good reviews. Well, the reviews are well deserved! Puppy had a fine time. Howie (and his wife) clearly took great care of her! Would definitely book again. I just need to figure my schedule out.”
About: I have had animals my entire life. As a child we had cats, and dogs. I helped care for my neighbors hobby farm when they were away. As an adult with my own children we have had a dog, who sadly passed away 3 years ago. He was my eldest pet. He purchased a bunny to appease his love for animals, but it has not filled that hole that is dog left. I have 3 kids, 13, 9 and 6. They all love animals. We help care for friends pets when they're out of town. I would love to care for your pet! And my children will give them lots of love and snuggles. I homeschool my kids. So the kids are home 6 days out of the week. My husband is a nurse and I am home with the kids and I will be able to give your pet lots of attention and care. I would care for your pet as if it was my very own. Lots of play, snuggles and exercise...and Love! I would be home most of the time to care for every need of your pet.
“Nicole and her dog Ella are fantastic! My pup gets so happy to see them both. Nicole has a huge fenced yard and provides a safe and fun home! Nicole is a great communicator and my pup loves to go over there.”
“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!!”

“Alexa was amazing with our two energetic dogs. She not only walked them but understood they needed more exercise so opted to throw them the ball before she left. Really appreciate her taking the extra step. Thank you!”
“Neha was absolutely amazing! I had just moved to a new neighborhood and was looking for someone to give my miniature golden retriever, Leia, dinner, a walk, and some extra belly rubs. Unfortunately, I forgot to update my address in the Rover app, so Neha ended up driving all the way to my old house across the Twin Cities. When she arrived, she noticed that the house didn’t match the photos and instructions I had provided and kindly reached out to me. I was out of town and didn’t see her message for over 30 minutes. I was horrified when I realized my mistake, especially since I was hours away and couldn’t do anything to help. Neha could not have been more gracious and understanding. Despite the inconvenience that I caused, she generously offered to drive to my new home and still take care of Leia. She spent extra time with her, gave her dinner, took her for a walk, and made sure my princess got plenty of love and attention. I am incredibly grateful for Neha’s kindness, flexibility, and patience. She truly went above and beyond, and it meant so much to me. Leia was happy and well cared for, and I would absolutely choose Neha again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and genuinely wonderful with pets!”
About: I have experience in taking care of elderly dogs and young pups. I have trained my dogs and other dogs to sit, down, wait and shake. I live in the Lake Minnetonka area. I have a Chihuahua/Terrier/Maltese Mix and he is 3 years old. I can provide the need for walks and drop in visits and house sitting. I am available during the early morning and late afternoon and evening any day of the week. I work at a school in the Minnetonka School District. I am available all holidays and summer break. I request to have clear instructions for walking/sitting dogs for harnesses, leashes, feeding, and toy preferences. I have a vet that I would use for emergencies.
About: I've grown up caring for three dogs at once in a busy household, so I’m no stranger to managing multiple pets with love and attention. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m especially confident with dog walking and making sure every pup gets the care, exercise, and attention they need. I’m currently working part time at cub so I’ll need to schedule around that but other than that I’ll be free most of the time. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and keep your home clean and secure.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and other pets for over 12 years through helping family, friends, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overnight care. I have worked at a dog facility in the past. I’m very patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to each pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with different routines and schedules to best fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet is supervised, cared for attentively, and kept in a calm, loving environment. I always follow any routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special requests provided by owners. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.
About: I currently have two pomskies, a russian blue, and a black cat. I also had two 80 lbs Weimaraners, a black cat, and a teddy bear hamster growing up as well as taking care of all the neighbors pets when they would go on vacation prior to starting Rover! I now have interacted with almost every size of dog and multiple cats through my services. - I was a dual-sport athlete in college where I did gymnastics and track, and I currently weight lift. I preface this because some pet owners in the past have said I appear to be a smaller girl but I am stronger than I look and have walked/taken care of big dogs and very high energy dogs😂 - My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to give your pet some fresh air and exercise during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away. You may book two per day! •I’m always open to any extra needs or modifying for your situation!! I’m currently in law school and have class mid-day from August to May. I have mornings and evenings/nights open for drop in visits and dog walking during these months. From May to August, I work very early mornings 5x a week. I’m free 2pm and onwards during the summer months for drop-ins and dog walking services. I also stop by prior to my 6am start time for work to do drop-in visits as well. Please don’t be afraid to reach out for anything at all! •I always allow meet-and-greets for a quick 10 minute appointment (free) prior to any drop-ins or walking services so that I’m no stranger to you or your pet before I stop by for the first service. This also allows us to establish what needs your pet may have and your expectations for me. These aren’t mandatory to be able to book with me, just solely a comfort thing! •I remember the way pet items were stored in your home and return them back to the way they were after I’m done using them. •I always message you and ask for permission prior to entering any other part of the house that’s not necessary to the service. This rarely happens, but for example: a dog I came to walk was sleeping in the master bedroom so I messaged the owner first prior to retrieving him for our walk😂

I can also walk very early in the morning too if the dog is accustomed to that time & willing. And of course, anything after 12 I can do & am available for. I have experience working on trusted house sitters. When doing a house sit or a check-in at the clients home, I simply follow the instructions provided and feed/walk/check in on the animals as discussed. I make sure the animals feel very loved, attended to, and cared for!
About: I have always loved animals, whether it be a mouse or a horse. I also love to help people out, especially with dogs and cats. I’ve babysat one dog long-term (about 6 months), and I have been babysitting the same dog for about 2 years, since he was a 8 week old puppy. I also had a dog who passed away a few years ago, and had to take care of her in her senior years and help her get up as she had hip problems. In between dog-sitting, I did babysit dogs for a week, and usually wouldn’t mix dogs unless owners were okay with it. (these owners were from my work or teachers from my high school). I am currently attending college in Duluth. However, I do come home quite a bit Fridays-Mondays. In the summer, I will be very flexible though! I take dogs out on leashes as it makes me feel most comfortable but fenced in yards while watching the dog also makes me feel comfy as well.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, helping my parents take care of them growing up. In highschool I got a job at a pet hotel and worked there for a year.

I am home from college and have most days free. I am available most of the days and am happy to work whenever I am needed. I can not watch any dogs in my house. However, I will take good care of your pets in your house. I will follow any instructions given and help keep your pet feel as comfortable as possible.

“I cannot say enough good things about Tracy. I was genuinely so nervous boarding my dogs for the first time, and from the very beginning she made me feel completely at ease. She was warm, patient, reassuring, and so communicative the entire time. What really stood out to me is how naturally comfortable my dogs were with her. You can tell she truly understands animals and cares about them like they’re her own. She sent updates and photos, answered my anxious first-time-boarder questions with so much kindness, and made the whole experience feel safe and personal. Finding someone you can actually trust with your dogs is huge, and Tracy is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Juno always comes home grubby and exhausted and SO HAPPY!!! She plays so well with Dayjah's dogs and I know when I have to leave her that she's going to have a blast. THANK YOU Dayjah!”
“My standard poodle, Brody, had only been away ever been away from home for a few days. He hs been a constant companion for the last six years. I was super concerned about leaving him for 18 days and how he would handle it. I didn't need to worry with Brittany taking care of him! She sent lots of photos daily, he was happy at her home! She was so kind and compassionate. He also has a minor medical condition, and Brittany cleaned and medicated his eyes daily. I couldn't believe how fortunate we were to find Brittany. We will certainly choose her as a sitter again!”
“I almost want to leave town just so we can use Kelsey again. Shiloh had the best time and came home exhausted from playing with Enzo We got great pictures and updates. Couldn’t be happier and will use again in a heartbeat.”
“Lori was amazing! She made Nipsey feel like a part of the family! She updated me everyday and sent pictures of Nipsey. Nipsey definitely enjoyed himself and we will most certainly book her again!”
“My dog had a wonderful vacation while staying with his family. I think she enjoyed time with everyone, in the family, Kay, Rick, Omar Justas and Vanya. Kay sent me many pictures of her with each, and every one with Willow. I will definitely book with them again. In fact, I have already tried, but they’re busy when I need them. We’ll see you again next time”
“Beth and Evan took great care of my GSD Maggie while I was out of town. They sent me photos of what Maggie was up to throughout the week. Maggie was in great spirits when I picked her up too.”
“Carine and Eric took excellent care of my older Boston terrier. They kept me up to date on his activities and provided photos while we were away. I felt comfortable knowing he was in caring and capable hands. Will gladly book with them again for future care!”
About: I have a very wide range of skills when it comes to caring for pets from dogs and cats to small animals. For four years, I had my own dog care business in which I boarded and walked dogs. For the past couple of years, I have spent my time studying and learning medical care of animals. I also have experience of working at an animal shelter with cats and dogs of all ages, behavior needs, sizes, and breeds. I have experience handling large breeds, aggressive animals, and animals with anxiety. I believe that my wide range of skills and experience with pets of all ages will make me a great match for caring for your furry friend! I'm currently working part-time at an animal shelter. This position requires about 15 hours of work per week, primarily on the weekends. Besides these shifts, I will devote all of my free time to caring for your pet! I have many parks near my home and am willing to take your pet on long walks. I would say that I am lenient with the animals' range in my own home as I will allow them on furniture and in any room.
“Thank you so much Alicia and Simon for taking care of Milo. it looks like he had great time at your house playing with Teddy and Daisy. Thank you so much for taking him out for a walk daily. Milo enjoys outside walk. Mamatha”
“My pup had an amazing experience! :) I also got lots of pictures to keep me updated while I was away :). I really appreciated Terrie taking the time to get to know my pup beforehand and cater to his needs and personality accordingly. I will definitely book with Terrie again! ❤️ ?”
“Magnolia had the best 10-day vacation with Kj and Bailey! This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better match. The care, communication, and love exceeded our expectations. Seeing Mag draped across Kj's lap while she worked on her computer was absolutely priceless. My family loved the frequent updates and photos of their walks, playtime with her new buddy Bailey, and even bath time. I was honestly worried she wouldn't want to come home! What incredible peace of mind during our trip to Spain. When I pulled up to the house after our trip, seeing Magnolia so happy, content, and relaxed on the porch was the perfect welcome home. The transition back to our routine has been seamless—such a noticeable difference from our past kennel experiences. She's been remarkably calm and well-behaved. Kj provided exactly the kind of loving, home-based care we were hoping to find. Highly recommend!”
“This was our 2nd time leaving our now 14.5 year old dog with Gretchen and John, and once again, they were great! Sent updates multiple times a day which was reassuring for this nervous dog mom and followed by overkill of directions perfectly : ) will definitely continue to use them!”
“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 dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“Brittany and her husband were GREAT!! She watched our dog Tucker for a few days while we were moving. She kept us up to date on how he was doing, and followed all of our instructions caring for him. We really appreciated her flexibility in timing dropping him off and picking him up - we unexpectedly needed to extend our booking an extra night, and was happy to accommodate this last-minute. I recommend Brittany without reservation - we'll definitely be re-booking in the future!”
