“Can you give double 5 star ratings?? Margarita was so wonderful for us and our fur baby! She treated Pip like part of the family, sent us pictures, created fun videos, dealt with the spring shedding season, and even gave him a bath so he would be clean for the trip we were taking after picking him up. She is amazing!”

It was the first time we left our 11 month old puppy and we could tell that she was in excellent hands with Cheyann. She sent us videos and pictures and it was comforting to see how happy our dog was. We will definitely use Cheyann again and again.”

“Avaiyah did a great job with our spunky and overly friendly dog when we went on a very last minute trip to see family. We had never done anything like Rover before and have only ever used the same boarder, so we were hesitant to try it out, but she made it so easy and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: I've taken care of a cat off and on semi regularly for the past 2 years. Playtime and cuddles are the best! I get along well with any animal I've met. Each animal has such a unique personality, and I'm excited to learn about them! Also when I was a kid I had hamsters as pets for about 10 years. During most weekdays I'm available anytime. Some Saturdays I'm available. But most Sundays I'm not available. I have a lot of flexibility and will work with your needs. I will be able to take care of your pets at your home or my home. Whatever is more convenient for you. I only ask that they are house trained and you bring what they would need of course. I will follow whatever guidelines you may have.
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: With over 10 years of experience dog sitting and house sitting for family and friends, I treat every pup like part of the family.🐶I may not have a dog of my own right now, but that just means your furry friend gets all my attention and love! Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or just being a comforting presence, I’m here to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.💛 Since I work remotely, I can turn any home into my “office” - which means your pups get company and care all day long!🐾From weekday fetch breaks to weekend adventures, I’m available when they need me. I’m happy to stay at your home so your pets can stick to their routine, and I’m totally up for long-term stays too. More time together just means more tail wags, more belly rubs, and more happy pups!🐶💜 I care for your pets right in their own home so they can stick to their favorite routines -whether that’s morning zoomies, afternoon naps in a sunny spot, or evening belly rubs.🐾Being in their familiar space keeps stress low and tails wagging. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles, and I’ll keep your home tidy so you return to both happy pets and a happy house. 🐶🏠🪴
“Angelina did a wonderful job checking in on my three cats while I was on vacation. She sent lots of photos and updated me on how my cats were doing while I was away, which took a lot of weight and stress off my shoulders. Thank you very much! Would happily request again for any drop-in needs.”
About: I have grown up with dogs of multiple sizes and breeds. I did work at the UMN as a Veterinary Assistant. I have had a dachshund and a black lab. I have pet sat and walked neighbors and family dogs. I’ve pet sat my grandmas German shepherd. I have worked with puppy’s and elder dogs. I also own two dogs Lulu and Lupin. My schedule during the week is currently open. I am happy to take the time for your dog’s care either through check ins or walks. I always make sure the doggy’s get what they need and more. I make sure they get all the love in the world and have the most fun! Along with any special medical care they need.
About: I grew up around livestock and all sorts of other animals. I recently lost my own dog but when I had her I used Rover to help find a regular dog sitter for when I went on teacher conferences. I recently became trained in dog and cat CPR and first aid. I am not afraid to give medications to an animal and have taken care of dogs that have special needs such as anxiety, fear of fireworks, fear of guns and high energy. I am currently on a teaching schedule but after memorial day I will be available most days. If I am away during the summer it's usually just during the day. They will take first priority, getting food, water, any medications prescribed and taken to go outside will all take place before my needs. I can provide a kennel at my home and kennel trained my own dog understanding the process for that.
About: I’ve taken care of many different dog breeds ranging from small to large. I have two of my own dogs as well as help take care of my family and friends dogs when they are gone! I currently am a college student looking to spend my free time with animals! I am usually available Monday through Friday and some weekends if I know in advance! I enjoy going on long and short walks plus give treats for good behavior! I play fetch with my dogs and bring them on car rides often!
About: I have owned both indoor and outdoor cats my whole life and understand the varying personalities they have alongside their special needs. I grew up in the veterinary medicine world as my grandpa is a veterinarian so I am very comfortable with all possible needs.
About: I have had two cats for 12 years which is where my experience has come from. This ranges from litter boxes, play time, vet visits, and working with the animal to ensure they feel safe and cared for. I had two dogs growing up, and know the bare bone basics. I’m always open to learning and I do so quickly. With all the pets I’ve had throughout my life, I know how much of a family member they are. I will do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, and the human feels at ease. My full time gig is 7am-3pm M-F. During the week services will be completed after 3pm. Weekends I have an open schedule and my times are more flexible. I believe pets are family members, and I treat them with love, respect, and care like they are my own. I care about their stress levels, if they trust me, and keeping that trust. It’s fun to watch their personalities show, but also respect their boundaries. I’m not shy with cleaning up messes, taking initiatives, and keeping lines of communication open. I love receiving pictures from pet sitters to see how happy and cared for my fur babies are and will be sure to return the favor to other pet parents.
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.

“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!”
About: I've taken care of a senior Bulldog for 1 year. I ended up training him and living with him. He made major improvements in behavior for his owner. We became best buds. Also I've taken care of a cat on a regular basis for the past 2 years. Playtime and cuddles are the best! I get along well with any animal I've met. Each animal has such a unique personality, and I'm excited to learn about them! Also when I was a kid I had hamsters as pets for about 10 years. During most weekdays I'm available anytime.

I'm currently retired and will be available to take care of your pet Monday-Friday anytime of day. Some Saturdays are available too. Not on Sundays though. I have an unfenced yard and a park nearby that I can play with your dog at. Most of the time we will be inside my 1 bedroom ground floor apartment.

“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!”
“Buddy loved his day with Leanna and her family. He was in good spirits when I came to collect him, and loved the extra attention throughout the day. Leanna is a great communicator, and I could tell Buddy felt super comfortable with her and her home. Thanks so much again for being so kind!”
“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.”
“Marill was very accommodating with a couple of my requests ( paw holding and Gabbys food need). I received a timely update. Gabby looked happy when i picked her up - easily going back to Marill to say good bye to her. Very reassuring experience. Even with several dogs running around in fenced area Gabby came home clean and fluffy. Very nice experience - marill has this down!”
About: My husband and I are former dog foster parents and love meeting/spending time with new dogs! We have two resident (foster fail!) dogs: Ace, a shy pitbull who LOVES other dogs and 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 pups are allowed on our bed if they choose, but we have plenty of dog beds around too, and we do not allow them 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.
“Kimberly has been great with my 2 dogs and is very accommodating for them. I get updates during the day and she goes into detail during pickup on how they did. They always come home happy and that makes me happy knowing they are in good hands!”
“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!”
About: I've been taking care of my own animals since I was 8 years old. I grew up with multiple pets in my house hold. I raised a chinchilla to be 18 and my oldest dog was almost 16. Our family recently moved to the area and I’m just getting back into Rover. I'm currently a teacher so I have plenty of time to check in on your animal(s). I have a flexible schedule in the summer so I will try to work with your schedule. I am able to check in on your animal(s), give them attention, take them for a walk, and feed them/give them potty breaks. If there is bad weather or the animal needs extra attention (for longer periods of time) they can hang out in my home with me. I have three friendly golden dogs!
About: I’ve been a dog mama for many years and love spending time walking and playing. I grew up on a farm so am extremely comfortable with all animals but my real love is dogs. I’m recently retired and am available and excited to help care for your fur-baby. My schedule is very flexible and our home is set up to provide a fun, safe environment for your dog. I’m happy to do drop-ins to feed, potty, go walking, play or all of that! Let me know about your pets routines and preferences so I can make sure they’re safe and comfortable.
“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.”
“Shelby was so loving and amazing to my puppy, Nico! He came home tired & content! She kept track of his potty breaks, eating, and overall daily schedule with updates. I was so happy!”

My favorite sound and site are when they are eating: because to me it means they are safe and happy! I am working from home so I can be there for the dogs. Other than shopping and chores, im around. I can make my schedule flexible to accommodate 4 legged guests. I have a fenced yard so your dog can go out to sniff and do their business.

“Jessica is excellent! Our dogs are always so happy when we return, and we have the relief of knowing they’re in good hands while we’re away! I highly recommend using her services for your fur babies!”

I have experience with dogs of all sizes small to HUGE! And all sorts of temperament from happy go lucky to very shy to more fear agressive dogs. Through my employment there i completed courses such as knowing dogs 101 and 102 and a cpr certification course. My personal dog is an Australian shep x Rottweiler mix and knows many tricks and is very obedient, this has come from her breed and my passion to learn with her. I would love to get to know your pets and help busy owners out too :) I am currently a volleyball college athlete, who is in off season practice and lifts durring the evening. But my gaps between practice and classes I would love to help take care of your pet. I am currently in a school apartment with 3 other roomate’s , so small dogs or cats would be best. In your home I would make sure to keep messes cleaned up and the safety of your pet is first :)
About: I have grown up my whole life around animals. When I was younger, I had smaller animals like hamsters and rats. In high school, my dad did get an English bulldog and he was my best friend! When we first brought him home, I took him to training and I loved every second of it! I would watch him almost every weekend for my parents. My sister also had a dog, her and I worked opposite schedules so I would take care of him during the day. I also took him through training as a puppy. So if you have a puppy and want them to learn a thing or two I can help! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats with my boyfriend. So I really understand how much your fur baby’s mean to you as I have some at home! I am working part time and looking for something to do with my other time! I’m available all day Wednesdays, Fridays after 2pm and just about every weekend! Something that I live by is treating others animals like your own! I am also very big on respect. Letting me into your home to take care of your fur baby’s means a lot to me. I love to just hang out with furry friends or go play outside, which ever you need from me I will do! I really would like to make sure you and your animals can trust me! Whether you have cameras in your home or need a check in hourly, I’m willing to do whatever you need to trust me in your home. Having that trust bond can really make or break a sitter! Besides trust I also value on making sure your animal is safe.
About: I have 5 amazing dogs of my own, 1 pitbull, 2 American Eskimo mini and 2 Pomeranians. I had 2 liter of puppies from my dogs (1st liter was 10 pups, 2nd liter was 5 pups) and was able to raise them well for their furever home. I run a lot, so if your dog needs to exercise, you can count me in. Or simply needs a rest day, or any kind of special needs, I’m your girl. I work full time and have my own babies to care for, but I’m a super dog mom so I’m pretty flexible and prepared for anything. With my own experiences of owning 5 dogs, and raising 15 puppies, I feel like that should speak for itself. I do have a fenced in yard, I love dogs and I want them to be happy while they're with me or their own homes.

Making sure that the pet is comfortable is a top priority for me.

About: I sincerely love and care for dogs so much! I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have my own border collie now, Missy.

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. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, I will keep your dog leashed unless you say otherwise!

“Can you give double 5 star ratings?? Margarita was so wonderful for us and our fur baby! She treated Pip like part of the family, sent us pictures, created fun videos, dealt with the spring shedding season, and even gave him a bath so he would be clean for the trip we were taking after picking him up. She is amazing!”
“Katrina and Drew were great! They were quick to communicate and were very accommodating to minor schedule changes. Our pup did so well she ran out of food! She usually skips meals when away from home and I pack accordingly. Katrina quickly replaced the food to keep Schatzi on schedule!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter!! Cheyann was wonderful and she was very loving to our dog Shadow. It was the first time we left our 11 month old puppy and we could tell that she was in excellent hands with Cheyann. She sent us videos and pictures and it was comforting to see how happy our dog was. We will definitely use Cheyann again and again.”

“Cassondra was amazing from start to finish !! It was our first time using Rover and it went great. We did a meet and greet for a 1/2 day before the stay. This helped us feel it was going to be a good fit for Gertie and her and her family. We were on a cruise and we loved getting pictures and updates on how Gertie was doing. Gertie had a great time and loved her time there. We will for sure book her again in the future. Thanks so much !! Highly recommend !!”
