“Jennifer took wonderful care of my dog while I was away, and I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was throughout the stay. She sent daily updates, checked in about any concerns, and was very thoughtful when my dog didn’t want to eat the first day — which is normal for her in new environments. I also appreciated the time she took to have us come over beforehand so we could meet her and her dogs and make sure it was a good fit. She was responsive, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would absolutely recommend her to others.”
“Charlie loved spending the day with Drew and his family! You can tell they are a dog loving family! Charlie loved lap time and interacting with Drew’s family. We’re heading back for a weekend stay soon.”

“Erin, Brandon, and kids took such good care of Poppy. They kept in close communication, and even sent pictures! Poppy was well loved and cared for while with them and came home a happy dog! Thank you!”
“This was a very positive experience for us with Linda. We met with her first, then left Rosie with her for an hour then off to our River Cruise with Rosie in good hands. Linda sent pics every day and always provided an update. It was so helpful to know things were going well. We will definitely be hoping to have Linda in charge for future needs. She gave such special care to our baby girl!! Highly recommend although we’d like to keep her to ourselves!”
“Holly and Jeremy and family were great! My two dogs were treated like family. I loved getting pictures of them with the kids and family. I didn’t have to worry about them and that means so much. Thank you!”

“Charity took great care of my dog while I was away! She sent daily updates and photos, and was always quick to respond to any messages. My pup was clearly happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Charity to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter and I would gladly leave my dog with her again!”
“Ashley was so accommodating by taking Piper with only 24 hr notice. Awesome communication and met us at the door as we walked up to her house at drop off. Piper was spoiled during the day with walks and lots of love. We were updated with pictures and videos during the day. Highly recommend Ashley and we will be contacting her when our next appointment is scheduled at Mayo Clinic.”
“An amazing person to take your pets to, very attentive and caring and even got me a little refund when I didn’t book correctly my first time! Definitely recommend and will be booking Mathew & Angela again.”

“We recently had Brittney as our cat sitter, and we couldn't be more pleased with her services. She arrived as scheduled and diligently performed all the tasks we outlined. To our delight, our outside potted plants looked even better than when we left. One of the standout aspects of Brittney's care was her willingness to oversee our cat's outdoor activities on our deck. She provided interesting and informative updates along with fantastic photos, which made us feel connected to our cat even while we were away. Our cat, who is usually quite reserved, warmed up to Brittney and even climbed into her lap – something she doesn't do with everyone. Brittney's genuine care and attention truly put our minds at ease. We highly recommend her services!”
“We were very impressed with Hound's thorough care of our needy girl! It was clear that Paprika warmed up to Hound quickly -- we could tell in the many wonderful pictures we received of Paprika on Hound's lap. I appreciated Hound's openness to take on this last-minute booking for our energetic cat. We definitely will rebook with Hound next time we are looking for a sitter.”
“Andrea was great! I booked house-sitting with her for 5 days with my two kitties. She was very attentive and intuitive to their needs, and followed all the care instructions completely. I was very pleased with how well the litter box was cleaned! I’ve had friends/sitters in the past that have not respected the importance of cleaning the litter box, so this was a big relief for me (and the kitties). Came home to a clean house and happy kitties! I’m so grateful for you, thank you :)”
“Lindsey did a fantastic job caring for our pets! She managed quite the spectrum—one cat who needs lots of love, attention, and twice-daily meds, another who can be a bit grumpy, and even our turtle, who she entertained with a tracking game. Everyone was safe, happy, and well cared for. She made the whole process so easy, checking in each visit with updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely book again.”
“Mia is a very responsible sitter! My cat is a shy boy when seeing strangers, but he was willing to play with Mia! Definitely will have another booking with Mia in the future.”
“Andrea was amazing with our three cats, Lucifer, Callista, and Calliope, while my fiancé and I were out of town for the holidays. Every time she saw them, her face lit up, and I knew they were in good hands! We don't like leaving our cats behind, but we had peace of mind because Andrea sent us multiple updates and pictures every single day. We will definitely contact her again in the future!”
“Anne was very attentive and spent lots of time playing during her visit. She did a great job giving oral medication and was thoughtfully to bring catnip to help our cat feel more comfortable with her.”
“Brittney was excellent!!! She gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone for two weeks, and went above and beyond cleaning up a plant casualty. She sent great pictures of our kitties and I know they got lots of snuggles! Our little girl can be a bit particular but warmed up to her and got lots of snuggles and belly rubs!”
“Loryn is a lifesaver and checked on my pup, Fiona, during a weekend and I could immediately tell that she loves dogs! She sent timely and adorable updates on my pup and I felt very at ease that Fiona was in good hands, will definitely book again!!”
“Mara was fantastic caring for my kitties while we were gone! She stepped up and provided excellent care for my cat, Ria, while she was recovering from an unexpected medical issue. I look forward to working with Mara again!”
“Contacted Matthew somewhat last minute and he did an amazing job watching my two kitties! Very friendly introduction and professional service for my kitties. Would definitely book again in the future.”
“Zeanna saved me and my cat!! I got stuck in Florida and wasn't able to get home and take care of my cat, but Zeanna was really quick on replaying and made sure to step up to feed and check on my cat the same day of scheduling. She was reliable and made sure my cat had all the necessities, specially clean litter. She was able to follow instructions and went above and beyond. Will book again!!”

“Matt & Angie are the best! Literal lifesavers! I was in a massive bind with a school event and they agreed to take my dog in on super short notice, and were incredibly pleasant and sweet from start to finish. It’s clear they truly love animals. They treated her like their own and kept me updated with videos and pictures. It made a stressful day so much easier knowing she was in such good hands. She had so much fun and made new friends! I felt 100% comfortable leaving her in their hands. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Rhea was fantastic with Dodger! I needed a sitter within two hours of reaching out to her and she made it happen. Very grateful for her. She's great, trust her with your pup.”
“Ben & Jen were very helpful in taking care of my nervous rescue dogs in helping them get socialized. Ben is very patient and I appreciated them letting my dogs come to their home. Ben was responsive in keeping me informed. Ben & Jen both seem super nice!”
About: I work from home. I have a small backyard and a park nearby with a walking path. I have 3 children who are good around pets. We have one dog of our own who is a 70lb, 12 year old female. My experience comes from my own pets and checking on friend’s pets while they are away. I am available in the mornings before work, can be flexible about lunch and breaks to leave and check on pets and end my work day at 5 (Mon-Fri). If I go into work, it is often on a Wednesday and my parents come check on my dog while I am away for the day. My home: I have a fenced yard, 1 older dog, and gates in the house to keep the dogs on the main floor. I do not have a crate or dog toys. My dog prefers long walks, scratches and a good nap. My dog is a large poodle breed.
About: Relocated here from Iowa. Enjoy working with different dogs. Pet lover. I completed 6 months of Veterinarian Assistant classes online. Life happened and I had to take a pause. But I am thinking about going back and finish obtaining my associates degree in the field. So whether it be house sitting with the animals or simply doing some walking or activities, I don't mind and will enjoy my time with them. Its something I enjoy as one of my hobbies. I am available during the week days. Every other weekend I work night shift at this time. I enjoy play time with pets because they too have different personalities. Love Dogs. We cuddle mostly and play. Take walks outside. Play fetch with their toys. It's cool to go to the backyard and be socialable with nature. I think it helps with sensory awareness.
About: I have been around animals and dogs my whole life. I recently lost my 17 yr old baby girl and I miss the companionship but not quite ready for a new pup! I am responding and will make sure your baby gets top notch care! I work real close to home so I am able to pop by when I have a break and check in on the babies! I am usually home every night. I care for your babies just as I would mine.. animals are the bestest of friends and deserve the best of the best. Lots of love and attention will be given.
“Andria's family and dog are all very friendly towards my puppy. Nori had a blast there. He got home and fell asleep within 30 minutes, so I didn't have to spend a lot of time playing with him in the evening:) Andria also captured a few great photos of Nori running in the snow with his new friend. Love the photos!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my family's and friend’s dogs for about 5 years now and would love the chance to care for more! I will care for your fur babies like they were my own! ❤️🐾 I’m currently a stay at home mom. All my kids are in school, so my 3 year old yellow lab is my only child home during the day! I have plenty of time to give lots of love and attention to your dogs. I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly yellow lab who loves to play with other dogs. I enjoy going on walks and playing outside with dogs but also love to snuggle on the couch with them too!
“I absolutely loved my experience with Andrew. My husband had major surgery and our Winnie got a little stir crazy at the hotel. Andrew treated her with such love and care. He treated her like one of his pack members. I have never left my dog with anyone but family before so I was a little nervous. After a couple pictures and texts from Andrew I could tell he had been spending quality time with Winnie and knew her quirky personality. We have to come to Mayo Clinic often for testing and I will not hesitate to use Andrew's services again!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
“My husband and I were so grateful to meet and connect with Tina. Our plans fell through on watching our two doodles and she was able to accommodate us last minute. Tina is personable to our dogs as well as their owners and thats one major thing that we liked about her. We received several updates, many pictures and even a few videos throughout the day as we had preferred. Both pups were worn out from so much play time so it was nice to come home to relax with exhausted dogs! Thank you SO much Tina. We highly recommend her!”

“Lindsey was the best dog-walker we could ask for... We have a spirited labrador retriever, and she handled him beautifully, safely and timely. I always received pictures, video and a status report with every walk. I would recommend Lindsey to anyone seeking a reliable dog walker.”
“Brittney has been great with my dog and it has been such a huge help to have someone come and walk her while I am not able to! Winnie lays by the door after Brittney leaves, hoping she will come back for another walk, so I have nothing but good things to say about her.”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, and my love and respect for them is endless. Caring for pets is not just a responsibility for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I love going for walks, playing, giving affection, and making sure every pet gets the care, attention, and love they deserve… and a little extra. Whether it’s keeping them active, comfortable, or simply happy, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m a medical doctor currently studying from my apartment in downtown to validate my degree in the U.S., so I spend most of my day at home. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets. I love walking, taking dogs out for fresh air, and staying active—I exercise for about an hour each day and enjoy including furry friends in my routine. My own pets are in Colombia, and I miss them dearly, so all the love and care I have is ready to be shared with animals who need it. Your pet will receive my full attention, affection, and care. I live in a safe downtown apartment, enjoy taking regular walks, and will make sure your pet feels happy, secure, and loved as if they were my own. I can also follow any special care instructions to ensure their comfort and well being. ✨ If the owners are okay with it, I love giving the pets I take care of a little gift my homemade chicken feet gummies 🐾. They’re super simple, made only with chicken and water, healthy, and full of protein and collagen that can help their joints and skin. I will offer 10 gummies as a special gift 💝
“Michelle did a great job of walking Lily, letting me know how it went, sending pictures, mapping where she walked and how long it was. I could tell she was caring towards her as well. I will definitely call her again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs as large as an Italian Mastiff and as small as mini schnauzers. I am comfortable and confident with handling dogs of all temperaments. I currently go to college full time. I only have classes in the mornings, so my days are pretty open to spend time with dogs or take them on walks. I currently have 4 mini schnauzers at home and provide them with a safe and loving environment. I would bring that same care for your beloved pet.

“Andria and her family are simply phenomenal rover sitters. Our dog has severe storm anxiety and we left during a very stormy week. They were incredibly accommodating to his needs including unfortunate GI issues. They treat him as their own and when we went to pick him up he didn’t want to come with us and preferred to stay on the stairs getting pet and loved by them. Absolutely recommend them to anyone seeking a home away from home for their pup.”
“Toni is amazing!! My 2 boys love going to her. They always come back home happy and tired, ready for naps. Toni’s love for animals is apparent, and she even bathed both of my pups before returning them. Flexible with pickup/drop off times. I will be using her again when needed!”
“Stacy always takes such good care of Bonnie. We never have to worry and get photo updates throughout our trip of how she is doing. Would recommend to anyone with a dog. We will definitely book with Stacy in the future!”
“This is the second stay at Miranda's for our adolescent dog. We took a trip for 6 days so needed a good boarder for our furry child! She was great in keeping us informed on how he was doing and sent pictures. She, along with her spouse, clearly enjoy dogs and dog boarding. We picked up a happy and content dog, and we could tell he enjoyed being there. They have a great place with a fenced-in yard, and he is treated just like one of the family, which our dog loves. We will definitely request Miranda in the future when we need dog boarding.”
“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.”
“This couple is great! Very friendly and it was very evident that my boys were comfortable and relaxed. Loved the picture updates. Will definitely be booking again!!”
