“David was great to work with and we felt very comfortable leaving our pup in his hands. He consistently communicated with us providing updates which gave us peace of mind that Bo was in good company & care.”

Matt let them roam just like at home, cleaned up a puppy mess, and gave me awesome updates! I was also new to the Rover process and thought I had booked him last month but hadn’t, and he was flexible and understanding.”
“My Jazzy was reluctant to leave Linda and Bosley when I picked her up today. She loves her stays with them and I am able to relax when I’m away knowing that she is so happy with them.”

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 💝
“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.”
“I am late in getting my reviews posted. Please forgive me, Miranda and Kaeleb!! Hazel always enjoys being spoiled by you. Thanks so much for being so loving and kind!! Paula L.”

“Angela was great with our cat, Spark. She sent lots of photos, and even spent a little extra time with her when she seemed lonely. It was very reassuring to see that Angela was checking in on Spark while we were away! We would absolutely recommend her.”
“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.”
“Brittney was fantastic! I was so nervous about leaving our cats for so long, but she took such good care of them. They can be really standoffish with new people, but they really warmed up to her, and I can tell she put in so much effort to make them comfortable with her. I would absolutely hire Brittney again!”
“Andrea was a terrific sitter for my two cats. She communicated every day with pictures and messages. She went out of her way to try to play with my older shyer cat which is no easy feat. I’d be very happy to book with her again!”
“Andrea did such a wonderful job watching my cat, Toby while I was out of town! Andrea reliably showed up on time, fed and visited with Toby. She clearly communicates her visits and takes the cutest pictures. It put my mind at ease to know Andrea was taking care of Toby ; )”
“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.”
About: Most of my experience from taking care of cats has come through adopting them as family pets. Like dogs, I have had a cat around the house my entire life. Currently I have one male cat named Lubrae. He is an absolute sweetheart! Though my experience with cats is not as much as it is with dogs, I still love to work with cats! I can do any routine cleaning like cleaning the litter box that is needed too.
“Anne took excellent care of our kitty! She went above and beyond and even cleaned up a hairball that Pipa coughed up. We will definitely be booking her help again the next time we’re away.”
“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!”
“Mia is an incredible pet sitter and was so patient and kind with my anxious cat. Mia is communicative, flexible/accommodating, and very professional. Pleasure to work with, thanks so much for the help!”
“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.”

“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!”
“Pennie Rose had a perfect day with Jess and her family. Jess sent pictures and updates while Pennie played and settled in on Jess’s husband’s lap. 😊. She came home very happy and stress free! It’s so nice to go away and know your pet is also having a fun experience! This sitter is perfect 10!”
“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.”
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.
“Jennifer gave Roxie breakfast and dinner every day. I think my dog liked to play with kids and other dogs. They have a big yard, so she enjoyed in the yard. I think she had a good time there. I would like to use that dog care when we go to Rochester. Thank you very much!!”
“David was so great. He took Bandido on last minute for an afternoon and evening. Went very smoothly. David was obviously comfortable with big dogs. I will definitely use David in the future.”
“Bean had the best time with Scott & Jennifer! They kept us updated & sent adorable pictures of Bean throughout the visit! We highly recommend them & will be bringing Bean back again!”
“Megan took great care of Tillie! I had surgery and she was flexible when we needed to drop her off earlier than I had stated in the app. Megan had a fenced in backyard which Tillie was able to play with her dog. Would definitely have Megan watch her again in the future!”
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.
“Janny & Tramyra we're AMAZING!!!! They accepted my request at the last minute when another sitter bailed on me an hour before the scheduled stay time. They were so kind and friendly and sent tonssss of pictures and my Baxter was having a BLAST!!! His home away from home. Will definitely book again!!”
“Marissa had our dog over for daycare and he had such a great time playing with her dog. He was happy and tired when he got home. Marissa was great with providing updates and photos frequently and she was very quick to respond to texts. Overall, she's a great sitter and we will definitely be contacting her again for more doggy daycare in the future.”
“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!”
About: I have been a pet sitter for many years. Also, I have always had a dog and cat of my own since I was a young child. I will treat your pet as if it was my own. I feel it's important that animals get exercise and will take your dog for walks and make sure they are comfortable and happy. Your pet will get lots of love in my home!! I work from home and can attend to them anytime. I will walk them as I do for my own dogs. They will get to play outside in a large wooded area. I live out in the country on 8 acres. You pet will be in paradise! Your pet will sleep in my home. My other dogs are friendly. They are used to having other dogs stay with us. I can also care for your pet in your home.

“I appreciate Scott's care for our pup, communication, and availability when we needed him on short notice. Hucklebear liked Scott and seemed very comfortable with him. Thanks, Scott!”

“I shouldn’t leave a review because I don’t want to let the secret out! We’d Denielle give Denielle 100 stars if we could! She is professional, communicative, and our pup loves her so much! You won’t be disappointed!”
“Andrea is personable intelligent, and has a very gentle energy. She has provided a great deal of structure for my four year old German Shepard-American Staffordshire Terrier. My dog requires a strong leader, as well as agility work. Andrea’s balance of kindness and love, with strength and athleticism has been outstanding. I strongly recommend her for any pet care needs.”
About: I have cared for everything from puppies to senior dogs as well as cats, small mammals (guinea pigs, hamsters, etc), and lizards. Each animal has such personality that I am excited to learn. During the school year (September-May) I am available evenings and weekends. During the summer (June-august) I have way more flexibility and can work with your needs. I unfortunately cannot take care of any fury animals in my home due to my family members allergies. However, I will follow whatever guidelines you may have.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid! I currently have two golden retrievers, a cat and a horse. I am very responsible, and I love to be outside walking! I currently own my own spa, so my hours are fairly flexible around appointments. I always schedule time into my day to be able to walk my own dogs, and I only work 4.5 days a week at the spa I am used to walking two big dogs together, sometimes 3 when I babysit my sisters dog. My younger dog is quite rambunctious, so I am good with energy
About: Hello! Thanks for considering me to care for your furry companion. I have been around all types of animals for as long as I can remember. We always had pets in my family growing up. I have spent a lot of time over the past decade walking for and training my own dog, Bowie, but after his passing I've found myself with a lot of time and love to give. I am comfortable with all breeds and have lots of experience caring for large dogs. I work a full-time office job and am not available most weekdays until after 6pm. Tuesday is the exception during the week and I should have free time to take care of any pet that may need it. I care for your pets in your home by respecting their boundaries, giving them plenty of attention, taking our time to sniff on walks, and whatever else you or they would like. My goal is to treat each pet as if they are my own.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature. I grew up with birds, learning patience and gentleness from an early age, and throughout my school years I helped neighbors with their dogs, including walking, feeding, and making sure they felt happy and safe while their families were away. Today, I care for my own cat, who reminds me daily how important consistency, love, and attention to detail are. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just making sure pets feel comfortable and secure, I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family, especially those I care for in shelters. I work 8-hour shifts with varying start times, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. On many days I’m available for daytime check-ins and walks, and I’m also free evenings and weekends. My schedule allows me to reliably fit pet care into my routine, making sure your pets get consistent attention and love when you need it most. I focus on caring for pets in the comfort of their own homes, where they feel safest and most at ease. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box and waste cleanup, walking, providing plenty of playtime, and making sure pets are comfortable and secure. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring peace of mind for you while you’re away.

“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!”
“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.”
“Janny and Tramyra were AMAZING! They kept our dogs, Sophie and Gabby super comfortable and made us feel even more comfortable with being away from them. They sent us lots of pictures and updates on how they were doing and what they were up too. They took the dogs out on lots of walks/hikes and even helped with teaching my big puppy how big she really is and appropriate play behavior. We were so happy with the care and attention they gave our babies. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Stacy was fantastic with our dog! She sent pictures and let us know how he was getting along with everyone. We really appreciated that she was available last minute too. Thanks again!”
