“Cynthia provided excellent care, lots of love and snuggles, and other fur friends for my Lily to play with. Beautiful setting in the country with a large fenced in yard. Safe and compassionate pet care. Highly recommended.”
“Stacy was wonderful with my two cats! I’ve never actually dropped them off with anyone before, so this was a first for me. Stacy made the process painless, and was available over a holiday weekend, which was a lifesaver! She provided lots of updates each day, including photos. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Absolutely could not be happier or more grateful for Margarita and her family. The whole process was super easy and after the meet and greet I left feeling 100% confident that bubba would be in great hands. Then traveling back home from Sioux Falls, we get hammered by blizzard conditions. The last 20 miles before finally giving up, I could barely see the lines on the road, let alone any cars in front of me. So we pulled off and checked in to a hotel. Thankfully Margarita was SUPER understanding and reassuring. I was in a bit of a panic worrying about this and that, and the fact that Loki didn't have to be one of those worries was a huge relief. When we finally made it back the next day I could tell he wasn't super thrilled about leaving, which is always what you want to see. (And with that massive yard, I can't blame him!) Will definitely be "boarding" with her and her family again in the future! Super communicative with updates and photos to put our minds at ease.”
“Any cares for Lucky like a baby.. She sent me regular updates and was concerned when Lucky wouldn't eat (separation anxiety 😅 ). Amy made him comfortable, away from the bigger dogs so he could eat. She gave him a most adorable parting gift and a Halloween bandana to wear ❤️ She is my preferred choice for Lucky 's caregiver. 10/10”
“When we dropped off Diamond for her stay she was so excited as soon as we pulled up to Cheyann’s house. We appreciate and loved the daily updates. We had a terrible experience with a previous boarding at a large facility and Cheyann allowed us to go on a worry free vacation. We will definitely be using her again ☺️”
“Dusty stayed with Lynne for 3 nights and came home happy and healthy. Lynne sent daily pictures with a message, so I knew Dusty was being loved just like at home. She even invited him back! Will be going back soon. Thanks Lynne.”
“Allison and her family were amazing!!! Updates and pics were sent daily during the stay. When I picked my dog up she had the biggest smile on her face. Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Aish was great taking care of our dog for 3 days , she kept in touch with updates and photos and made sure he took his antibiotics that were a last minute prescription. I would recommend Aish and her family to all my friends and family. Thank you for everything Aish!”
“This is our third time having Becky watch our dog. She sends cute pictures, and made sure my dog was comfortable at her house. She was very flexible when we extended our stay and sent our dog home with a cute blanket! We will continue to use Becky as our Rover choice.”
“Our pup had so much fun with Chelsie and her family while we were away! Chelsie had great communication and sent the best updates with adorable photos of Zula. Would 100% recommend Chelsie to care for your dog and will definitely be asking her to watch Zula again!”
“We had a great stay with Amanda and Michael! Our dog was there for 9 nights and we got updates daily as well as they reached out with any questions or concerns that came up which I really appreciated! Our dog came back happy and they seemed to treat her like family.”
“This was our first Rover and at first we were apprehensive to book, however, Katrina and Drew did a great job taking care of our two dogs. We got to meet Katrina and Drew before booking and immediately knew our dogs would be in good hands. They are nice and easy going people which we naturally gravitated towards. While we were gone they sent us pictures and updates of the dogs. Would definitely recommend. We will use them again over a dog boarding place in a heartbeat.”
“Lisa & Drew and their young boys took excellent care of Buck. Lisa communicated above and beyond with updates on how Buck was acclimating to a new environment as well as cute pics of Buck playing with the boys. I highly recommend Lisa & Drew if you are looking for a trust worthy and responsible pet sitter for your pet.”
“Shelby did an amazing job caring for our Golden Retriever, Sophie! We received multiple pictures each day and it was clear Sophie got a ton of exercise and had a great time! We will 100% be using Shelby and her family again!”
“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”
“Elizabeth and her family were great. She made sure to help Diesel get around the house since he is a senior dog and I received plenty of pictures so I could make sure he was settling in ok.”
“Lexi and her family were just wonderful to our dog Logan. They even gave him a bone for Christmas! He had the best time playing with their dog too. Lexi’s was really a home away from home for Logan! We will definitely book with her again!”
“Liana and family took great care of my doggie. Her dog Winston was a nice companion for my dog, Freckles. Freckles enjoyed her walks. Liana sent many pictures during Freckles 2 week stay. I highly recommend Liana to watch over your fur baby!”

“I love her she's so attentive and even things I've completely forgotten during the anxiety of the trip she's done during our time away and Im happy she brings her daughter to play with my little minions. Makes me happy to know they have the attention they deserve. I couldn't be more thankful for the care and treatment to all my animals. I was terrified of leaving them but her updates give me calm. Look no further PICK HER. 😭💕”
“Jessica was awesome and took great care of my two dogs despite a difficult start to their time together. My dogs decided to be somewhat less than cooperative. Jessica handled the situation incredibly well and allowed me to have a memorable visit with my family.”

About: I have loved animals my whole life. growing up with dogs, cats, fish, and birds, I enjoy pets of all kinds! I have experience with both pet boarding and pet sitting! I have worked with several different families with multiple dog and feel totally comfortable with that. Going to the dog park is always fun but I know some dogs aren’t comfortable there. I also have lots of experience with cats and birds. My roommate is allergic to cats so they can’t stay at our house but I would be happy to come to yours. Walking pups is a great way to explore new neighborhoods. Through these kinds of experiences I have learned that it is always more fun to walk around and explore with a four legged friend. I work a pretty consistent schedule but I am lucky enough to be able to flex it. I can adjust it to meet your pups needs. I have a fenced in yard that I spend a lot of time in during the summer. There are no other dogs in the building
About: I am a Retired Veterinary Technician. I have owned cats for 30 years. I can care for those with special needs. I have a large fenced in yard for those that like a bit of outdoor time. I have spacious rooms with large windows if that's what your kitty prefers. A clean and safe environment with lots of attention. I have been trusted to enter my neighbors' homes and care for their furry family members. Whether daily or while you take a much needed vacation.
“Angelina did an excellent job caring for our cats. She made sure the litter box was clean and that they were well fed. She also ensured that our one cat got her medication while we were away.”
“Whitney was so helpful and responsive! I felt so comforted knowing my cats were in good hands while I was out of town. She did a great job of keeping me in the loop and sending lots of photos. The experience was fantastic!”
About: I have experience caring for my family’s dogs as well as my boyfriend’s dog while their owners are out of town. I ensure they are taken outside for bathroom breaks before coming inside, maintain a consistent feeding schedule, and always make sure they have fresh food and water. I also enjoy working with dogs on basic training and have successfully taught my own dog commands such as “sit” and “shake.” Im currently a full time student at RCTC in the dental assistant program but I am willing to accommodate what works for you and your pets! I care for pets like they’re my own. I make sure pets are well feed and have water. I make sure to keep an eye on them well outside.
“Shylina, Shyliiinaaa! Top notch! We are so blessed and thankful to have found such a good person to check in on our fur baby! We can’t sing her phrases enough! Our cat has diabetes and needs a little extra care and attention around feeding time. Shylina gave us peace of mind while away for one of his feedings & injection. Binx was so well taken care of, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Shylina gave us a full report and sent pics of Binx. The drop in visit went without hitch and we couldn’t be more happy. Shylina is so professional and good with our pet. She is a true animal lover. Honestly, in terms of finding a pet sitter it’s more of a question of: Does she have time and want to come back than, would we have her back? We wouldn’t hesitate. Again, we are grateful to have found someone trustworthy and who cares about our pet. 😆 Shylina is the best! Thank you Shylina!”
About: When your pet stays with me, they are family, and treated as such. I have experience with elderly and hospice pets as well as special-needs pets, young puppies, medication management and administration (liquid, pill, and injections) and some training experience as well. Well versed in pets with special care requirements (i.e. animals with anxiety, reactivity and/or other behavioral challenges). Because I work from home, I can be with your pet throughout the workday, and can easily step away to give your pet potty breaks and attention. I prefer to do house-sitting based pet care, as I’ve found that animals are most comfortable in their home environments. I am also happy to water any plants that may need it, as long as instructions are provided. Happy to work with large animals, amphibians, fish, and reptiles as well. Do note that house-sitting based pet care includes light house maintenance/cleaning as well such as vacuuming and laundering the guest sheets used. I like to leave the houses I care for as neat (if not neater) than they were upon my arrival. I work from home and can easily step away to care for your pet. When pet sitting, I generally don’t leave the house I’m sitting at for more than a few hours at a time, so your pet has reliable supervision and company. I am pet CPR and first aid certified through Red Cross. I am a very cautious and risk-aware person, always mindful of keeping doors and gates shut and ensuring the environment I’m pet-sitting in is safe and secure.
About: Ever since I was a kid I was bring home stray cats to nursery back to health. I am still doing it back in September I found my current cat Jup outside in with a really young kitten. Unfortunately the kitten was too sick so we found it a better home equipped to take care of it need but we had to keep Jup.
About: I taught my cat how to sit! He probably forgot by now but I still feel accomplished haha! I’m comfortable doing nail clippings with cats who aren’t overly aggressive, as mine get clipped regularly at home.
About: I have owned a dog for the last 15 years and have taken care of all ages/types of dogs for family and friends! I am home during the week and on weekends. I have a 4 year old yellow lab who is extremely friendly with other dogs and is used to being around them. I have an acre fenced in yard in town with lots of room for the dogs to run around safe. We have the summers off and are very flexible during the week. We are also available most every weekend for weekend stays or week long stays. We have a large fenced (One acre) in yard and a four year old yellow lab named Earl who loves to run around. Our yard is very dog friendly!

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“Cynthia provides a great area for our dogs to play outside and with other pups. Everytime we pick them up, they are super sleepy from having a high energy day. We definitely recommend her daycare and boarding services for your dogs!”
“Margarita has been a wonderful, flexible, accommodating, understanding, champion for me and Spike. He is having a good time there. When I get him he is always a happy puppy and I can tell he is well taken care of. He comes home and he likes to take naps afterward, poor puppy having so much fun with her dogs and her cute youn son. Nice open space for Spike to walk on leash and not worry about his safety. Definitely booking again (already have the reservations). It’s nice to know that my 11week puppy has a loving and caring place that takes care of him while I am at work.”
“Christy was excellent with communication. We needed a pet sitter near Northfield while we attended our grand daughter Sr choir concert. Riley liked Christy immediately and was a happy boy when we picked him up. Thank you!”
“Marill was just wonderful! She's clearly a dog-lover, and Ollie had a fabulous time at her house! He played all day with her other dogs (as is evidenced by the many great photos and videos she sent me throughout the day), and came home last night happy and exhausted. He slept 15 hours straight! The idea was for him to get some energy out, and let me get some work done - so mission accomplished! I'll definitely rebook with Marill.”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and needs. Over the years, I’ve been trusted to care for pets while their owners are away, making sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of love and attention. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. I pay close attention to each dog’s normal routine and personality so they can feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing outside, cuddling on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the kind of care they’re used to. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure you feel comfortable too. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can see how your pup is doing while they’re with me! 🐾 I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for your pup! I also have a Golden Retriever of my own, so walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention are already a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give your dog plenty of attention and companionship without them being left alone for long periods of time. I’m happy to adjust to their normal feeding, walking, and potty schedule so they can feel as comfortable as possible. Having another furry friend around would be a welcome addition to our day! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. We live on just over 5 acres with plenty of space to explore and our own walking trails throughout the property, which are perfect for getting outside, going on walks, and getting some energy out! Since I already have a Golden Retriever of my own, our home is very dog-friendly and we naturally have plenty of dog toys, supplies, and space for pups to feel comfortable. Our property is not fenced, so dogs will never be allowed to roam outside unsupervised. I’m more than happy to use a secure in-ground tie-out for dogs who are comfortable with one, or keep them leashed whenever we’re outside. I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I’ll always follow your instructions and do my best to make your pup feel safe, loved, and at home while they’re in my care. Before their stay, I’d love for you to tell me a little about your pup—their personality, daily routine, favorite things, any quirks or tendencies they may have, and anything else you think I should know. The more I know about them, the better I can make their time with me feel comfortable and familiar! 🐾
“Elizabeth was fantastic with our boy - we really appreciated her reassurance and check ins. She let us know he was doing great. Would definitely use Elizabeth again next time we visit Minneapolis!”
“Jax's first stay with Leanna went great! She took lots of pictures of his stay and even sent us home with a gift - she made us an absolutely adorable ornament with Jax's paw print! I would definitely choose her again to care for our baby!”
“First time at doggy daycare for our 7 yr old Chi mix - both he and our puppy were well cared for and arrived home this evening tired snd happy. Knowing they were safe made our time away worry free! Thank you Stacy for a great experience.”
“Carrie and Mark are amazing with our little guy Ollie! He plays with the kitty Bennie, and gets lots of walks and play time in! He loves it so much there he runs right to the door without a second glance at me!”
“I am new to the area, and Chelsie was very close by. She responded promptly and communicated clearly. I brought Riley over, and Chelsie kindly met me at the car. I was having some difficulty with the long lead, and Riley immediately went up to her as if they had known each other for a long time. When Riley heard the dogs barking inside the house, she led Chelsie to the door, which was quite charming. I realized I forgot to mention something to Chelsie, but she responded right away. On my way back to pick up Riley, I got caught in traffic, so Chelsie graciously brought Riley out to me, and Riley happily got into the car without any issues. After we returned home, I noticed that Riley's card was filled out, and there was a detailed note, along with photos of Riley's day, showing that she had gone for a walk and played with her dogs. Overall, I would rate the experience as excellent, and Riley will definitely be visiting again.”
About: I have been caring for dogs for many years! Friends, family, neighbors, and in the clinic! Experience in medicating, grooming, walking, playing, and basic care! I am currently working from home with a very flexible schedule! Lots of time for walks, play time, hanging out, and so much attention and love! I have training for medical conditions. I am a very active, outdoor enjoying individual! Animal care is my passion! Safety and care are the most important!
“BOOK WITH THEM! Our puppy is our baby and we were nervous about dropping her off to play with other dogs without our supervision. We did a meet and greet with Morgan & Jennifer and they were absolutely incredible. They immediately treated Murphy like she was their own dog. When it came to daycare day, they sent us so many photos & videos. When I went to pick up Murphy, they told us how the day went. Murphy didn’t want to leave because she had so much fun! They truly care about ALL dogs regardless if they are the owners or not. Thank you so much! Best dog sitters! 💕🐶”
About: My husband and I are former dog foster parents and love meeting/spending time with new dogs! We have one resident (foster fail!) dog: Tesha, a rambunctious tripod who loves people. We especially love older dogs in our house but are open to dogs 1 year and up. We have a fully fenced in backyard and a tie out available for outside play time. We have space to keep dogs separated if you have a dog that is shy or needs very slow introductions (we have a three level home). Our resident pup is allowed on our bed if she chooses, but we have plenty of dog beds around too, and we do not allow dogs on our couch. We will do our very best to accommodate your pups needs and keep you updated on how your four legged family member is doing while you are away! I currently work from home and am able to take breaks to allow potty and attention breaks. My husband is also home most of the time and will be available when I am not. We like to do slow introductions to other dogs to ensure the comfort of our resident dogs and the visiting pups. We have the space to crate or allow roaming on separate levels if needed.
About: My family and I have always had pets and we love them dearly! Pets bring such joy into a home and we would love for your pet to join our family for a visit. I work from home and my husband is home multiple days per week so there is always someone to play and cuddle your pets! We have an energetic 5 year old who loves animals and is very respectful of their space! We have a large fully fenced in back yard so lots of room to run and play. There are two adults, a 5 year old and a 3 month old in the house so many opportunities for snuggles and play! We lost our dog last year to old age and my son would love to have some pets visit to play! Animals are allowed on the furniture but we will respect the rules you have in place for your pet while they are home.

I look forward to meeting your dog. I have a fenced yard, and a home that we live primarily on one level. My home is pet-friendly and on a pretty quiet street.
“Ashi did an amazing job at watching my two dogs. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and video. They loved playing with her super sweet dog Simba and completely wiped each other out. Will definitely be back again.”

“Kaitlyn did an amazing job with Kylo. She kept us updated and took so many great pictures of him while we were gone. It kept our mind at ease and was one less thing we needed to worry about while on vacation. Would highly recommend her for all your dog walking and dog sitting needs :)”
“Myka has been wonderful with our puppy— he has very nurturing and has a calming presence for my super energetic pup. He is responsive, reliable, and eager to help reinforce the puppy training we have started!”
“Jessica did a great job with our dogs! She took the time to get to know their commands and schedules before agreeing to walk them. Very happy with her service! Will definitely use her again 🐶”

About: I’ve loved dogs as long as i can remember, I’ve been around dogs my whole life, had a Labrador Retriever growing up. My passion really began when neighbors would start asking me to dog sit for them. I always knew I wanted to do something with animals (mainly dogs.) a family friend told me about Rover & I immediately knew I had to become a sitter. I am very trustworthy and reliable & easy to reach! I currently do not have any pets in my home which makes me a great sitter if your dog isn’t a fan of other dogs/animals! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs & care for them. & I can take whatever time needed to watch your dogs if you preferred I stay with them 100% You can always count on the fact that your dog is SAFE.

About: HELLO! I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from pups to senior pets who have special needs. I have done stuff like this ever since I was in middle school. I am very flexible with my time. I do have a cat allergy but that won’t stop me from that either! I’m always here to help you’re best friend 😊 Im very flexible with my schedule for a couple months! I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣
About: I’ve taken care of my Tibetan Mastiff since before I can remember, and I’m my go-to neighborhood dog walker/caretaker. I love all shapes and sizes of dogs! I’m currently an online student at MNSU, so anytime during the weekday for boarding and walking is entirely open. Weekends work for specific dates and times. I have a reliable mode of transportation and I love taking care of animals. Whether it’s bathing, feeding, walking, or just sitting with a dog, I love to be there. I have grown up with a fear reactive dog, so I have experience with reading dog’s body language and reacting accordingly.
About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet.

I’ll treat your dog like I would want someone to treat my own and make sure you’re kept updated while they’re with me.

“Absolutely could not be happier or more grateful for Margarita and her family. The whole process was super easy and after the meet and greet I left feeling 100% confident that bubba would be in great hands. Then traveling back home from Sioux Falls, we get hammered by blizzard conditions. The last 20 miles before finally giving up, I could barely see the lines on the road, let alone any cars in front of me. So we pulled off and checked in to a hotel. Thankfully Margarita was SUPER understanding and reassuring. I was in a bit of a panic worrying about this and that, and the fact that Loki didn't have to be one of those worries was a huge relief. When we finally made it back the next day I could tell he wasn't super thrilled about leaving, which is always what you want to see. (And with that massive yard, I can't blame him!) Will definitely be "boarding" with her and her family again in the future! Super communicative with updates and photos to put our minds at ease.”
“Any cares for Lucky like a baby.. She sent me regular updates and was concerned when Lucky wouldn't eat (separation anxiety 😅 ). Amy made him comfortable, away from the bigger dogs so he could eat. She gave him a most adorable parting gift and a Halloween bandana to wear ❤️ She is my preferred choice for Lucky 's caregiver. 10/10”
“When we dropped off Diamond for her stay she was so excited as soon as we pulled up to Cheyann’s house. We appreciate and loved the daily updates. We had a terrible experience with a previous boarding at a large facility and Cheyann allowed us to go on a worry free vacation. We will definitely be using her again ☺️”
“Dusty stayed with Lynne for 3 nights and came home happy and healthy. Lynne sent daily pictures with a message, so I knew Dusty was being loved just like at home. She even invited him back! Will be going back soon. Thanks Lynne.”
“Kami is the best! She took such great care of our two dogs who stayed with her for 2 weeks. We loved all of the photos she sent and we could tell how happy and loved our dogs were. Highly recommend!”
“Our pup had so much fun with Chelsie and her family while we were away! Chelsie had great communication and sent the best updates with adorable photos of Zula. Would 100% recommend Chelsie to care for your dog and will definitely be asking her to watch Zula again!”
“We had a great stay with Amanda and Michael! Our dog was there for 9 nights and we got updates daily as well as they reached out with any questions or concerns that came up which I really appreciated! Our dog came back happy and they seemed to treat her like family.”
“This was our first Rover and at first we were apprehensive to book, however, Katrina and Drew did a great job taking care of our two dogs. We got to meet Katrina and Drew before booking and immediately knew our dogs would be in good hands. They are nice and easy going people which we naturally gravitated towards. While we were gone they sent us pictures and updates of the dogs. Would definitely recommend. We will use them again over a dog boarding place in a heartbeat.”
“Sean was great! Sent us a couple of videos of our dog playing and running around in his big fenced in yard! We could tell he genuinely cares for our pet as if it were his own. Will definitely book with Sean again!”
“Angela was so easy to work with and kept me informed of the fun the pups were having. And the best part (besides how go with the flow she was) our dogs ate dog tired, which is very rare! 10/10 will book again!”
“Lisa & Drew and their young boys took excellent care of Buck. Lisa communicated above and beyond with updates on how Buck was acclimating to a new environment as well as cute pics of Buck playing with the boys. I highly recommend Lisa & Drew if you are looking for a trust worthy and responsible pet sitter for your pet.”
“Shelby did an amazing job caring for our Golden Retriever, Sophie! We received multiple pictures each day and it was clear Sophie got a ton of exercise and had a great time! We will 100% be using Shelby and her family again!”
“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”
“Elizabeth and her family were great. She made sure to help Diesel get around the house since he is a senior dog and I received plenty of pictures so I could make sure he was settling in ok.”
“Lexi and her family were just wonderful to our dog Logan. They even gave him a bone for Christmas! He had the best time playing with their dog too. Lexi’s was really a home away from home for Logan! We will definitely book with her again!”
“Liana and family took great care of my doggie. Her dog Winston was a nice companion for my dog, Freckles. Freckles enjoyed her walks. Liana sent many pictures during Freckles 2 week stay. I highly recommend Liana to watch over your fur baby!”
