“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.”

“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.”
“Our dog Sue is 12 1/2 years old. She is a senior rescue and goes everywhere with us. But while I but I was having surgery at Mayo Clinic, we needed to find someplace for her. jennifer and Scott’s beautiful home with a fenced yard was a home away from home. Sue was allowed free roam and not required to be in a kennel or crate. She was not left on her own. They do doggie daycare and Sue loved having the other dogs around during the day and then her own space at night. They updated us with photos. It was as good as it gets and I was grateful knowing she was n a good place where she was safe and part of the family.”

“Always awesomd. Would highly recommend Angela. She has come in for us numerous times when we needed someone last minute. She has done multiple time per day visits with our cat and even checked on a leak for us. She is outstanding! Follos instructions perfectly, goes out of her way to provide attention and love to our Pete. Even brought him some toys. Angela is our pick!”
“We’ve worked with Britteny for the past two years and she’s been great. Our cats are comfortable with her, and I always feel at ease leaving them in her care when we’re away. She’s also administered oral steroids to our asthmatic cat, which has been a big help. Reliable, kind, and good with cats. Highly recommend!”
“To sum it all up: Joanna is simply the best. We gave her a big and challenging task. It was several visits within several days and A LOT of details and instructions to a very special sitting that our fur boy demands. He has a very specific routine, and she NAILED it… Joanna went above and beyond for us, and she did it with the excellence of her professionalism and the care of her loving personality with the animals! Look no further, Joanna is a 10 outta 10!”
“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!”
“Lindsey always does a wonderful job for our 2 cats and turtle. We have one very lovey cat and another scaredy cat. She gives as much love and space as they each need. Then, she always does some playing with our turtle to keep him active. We love her and recommend her when we hear someone needs a pet sitter.”
“Andrea was awesome with my cats! She was very detail oriented and made sure everything was done each visit. The boys really enjoyed having her. Not only did Andrea provide the necessities, but she took time to play with them and interact. She also provided lots of pictures each visit. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Mara! She went above and beyond! She not only communicated when there was a plumbing issue at the house, but took care of a chipmunk my cat decided to hunt and also left the house neat and clean. She sent cute photos of my cat Scarlet and cleaned up before leaving so I came home to a tidy space. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”

“Maple is a quarky dog so he can a lot at times. Takes him a bit to settle in and enjoy new surroundings. Matt and Angela were awesome and so welcoming. Takes a special person to open their home and help out others. They are the best.”
“Rhea was so sweet & accommodating when our drop off time changed. Her communication was really wonderful- she kept me posted on how Luna was doing during her stay & responded quickly. Thanks so 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.”

“Thank you so much for your care for Autumn! We couldn't be happier. It's clear that you genuinely enjoy the dogs you watch and it means so much to know our fur baby was well cared for. We will definitely ask again! 💜😊”
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.
“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!”

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!!”
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!”

“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.”
“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.”
“If 10 stars was an option I’d give 10, but 5 will have to do. This was our first time booking with Rover and I could not be more happy. We hit the jackpot with Elsie. She was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures! Absolutely love that we can have someone care so well for our pup in the comfort of his own home!”

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 💝

I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

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.”
“We had a great experience with Janny and Tramyra! They are incredibly knowledgeable, laid back and patient. They watched our two dogs for over a week, took them on several walks and gave them lots of play time with other furry friends. One of our dogs has battled severe anxiety in the past when we’ve left her and also displayed nervousness around other dogs. Not only did she feel at home with Janny and Tramyra, but she felt comfortable enough to interact with and play with other dogs. Our dog who is on a weight loss journey even lost weight during his stay! They sent daily updates and lots of pictures to give us peace of mind. This was our first experience using Rover and it left a really good impression!”
