“Jaymie has always done such a good job with our senior dog Walter who requires a little extra care. We have been so happy with her service and will continue to use her as our dog sitter.”
“I had never left my fur baby for a week before and was a little worried about how she would do. I needn't have worried at all. Jennifer sent pictures of Kenzie having a wonderful time running and playing. I will for sure be booking with her again. Thank you Jennifer and family for making Kenzie fell comfortable and at home with you. ♥️”
“Alexandra did a wonderful job. Very responsive to text messages and provided daily updates. Her residence has plenty of space for dogs to run and have fun. Definitely going to book with her next time we need a sitter. I felt very comfortable that our dog was in good hands.”
“Riley came home and snoozed the whole next day. He must have had a great time lol. Thanks for showing him a great time and taking such good care of him. We appreciated the pics too.”
“I was very impressed Marie and Mark. When we first went to meet them, Marie took Luna off her leash so she could explore the house. Luna jumped up on the couch to be next to them. They did not care and just petted her. The pics the sent was Luna going on walks and curled up next to them. I felt very comfortable Luna was just fine. Will use, for sure, again.”
“We could not have asked for a better first experience finding care for our dog . Rebekah and her husband were so personable and seemed genuinely excited and happy to host our Nelly. Rebekah sent updates throughout the stay along with pictures . We will definitely hire her again ! Thank you for taking such good care of our furry family member!”
“Talishia is always great with our two dogs. They love heading to her house and always look so tuckered out. She really cares for them as if they were her own. Will use her whenever we can.”
“We have never felt so comfortable with a stranger taking in our dog ever. Hannah was so professional and yet so down to earth! Her husband also was very personable and kind! Our dog was so happy and we could tell she was take. Care of very well!”
“Vanessa was great! Our Douggie was a fairly new rescue so we were nervous about leaving him so soon. We were very comfortable as soon as we walked in Vanessa's house. He was at ease and we felt so much better. Would definitely use her again!”
“Brandi and her family were WONDERFUL!!! They treated my dog Hank like family, with lots of love and plenty of neighborhood walks. They comforted him during a thunderstorm, and he even got to join them on the bed for a snuggle. I'd book Brandi again in a second, in fact I already have! 🙂 She gets 10 stars in my book, and in Hank's!!!”
“Brandy and Chad do a fantastic job with our small dog Patty. Patty can be nervous, tense, and anxious around strangers, but they've done a wonderful job to make her feel like she is at home. We highly recommend them for your dog sitting!”
“Alexandra was so friendly and personable. She sent pictures and texts letting us know how our Lady was doing. Such a great relief to see that our baby was adjusting well and was in good hands. Will definitely use Alexandra again!”

“Kayla was so great with our 16-yr old girl for a 5-day trip! She sent photos and updates while we were away and we felt so comfortable and didn't worry at all. She even sent our girl home with some treats, which was above and beyond. We don't know how much longer our dog will be with us, but we are so grateful to have gotten to know Kayla so we have a safe place to leave her for any future trips. You can tell she loves dogs and we 100% recommend her.”

About: I worked as a lead in a dog daycare/boarding facility for over a year where I managed care for multiple dogs at once of all different breeds. Im excellent at working with seniors, puppies, special needs, and reactive dogs. Ive completed several “Dog Gurus” training courses in understanding dog behavior and body language. I am pet CPR certified through American Red Cross. I’ve looked after cats, reptiles, rodents, birds, fish, and farm animals as well! My current dogs are a Shih-Tzu mix and an American shortie bulldog. I also have tons of experience with bathing, brushing, nail trims, and more so feel free to ask me for grooming! I work through rover full time so I can easily adapt my routine for your pets. Whether you have a puppy needing frequent potty breaks or an anxious dog that’s scared to be left alone, I will be able to provide full 24 hour care for them! I am available Monday-Sunday and for most holidays. You and your pets comfortability is the most important thing to me so I always follow the typical daily routine. I am a fast responder to all types of communication and I will send as many updates a day as you’d like me to!
About: Hello! I have had experience pet sitting since I was 15 and have had pets my whole life. I have taken care of animals ranging from pigeons to bunnies to dogs and cats to horses. I have experience with old and young, as well as experience with animals needing medication. I personally have three cats and a XL dog, so I am comfortable with any size critter. I am the worlds biggest cat lover and will treat your baby like my own.
“Mckenzie did anthor great job checking on our cat, she is very informative and throughout the visit and send lots of pictures. We know our cat is getting lots of love while we are gone. I will book again when needed and we highly recommend her for you pets.”
About: I have been walking dogs for 3 years. The dog I currently walk is a Golden Retriever with a lot of energy! I have also walked other large dogs as well as small dogs. I currently walk a dog every morning Monday through Friday, and 2 small dogs as needed. We enjoy going for walks and to the dog park if requested. We have gone on car rides to different parks for walks as well as walking in the neighborhood. I love the time I get to spend with the dogs. Dog walking is what I do. Every day Monday through Friday I walk a Golden Retriever. After that I am open to taking on more walking or drop in visits. When going to clients homes I am always careful to be sure to lock up the home after our walk. I check to be sure that there is adequate water. I am respectful of others private space and leave things as I find them. I give treats if requested. On hot days we can keep walks shorter if requested. I will also brush your dog if you request this.
“Michael, is fantastic. He was very communicative and even offered to grab packages while we were out of town. He sent photos from all visits and was diligent about cleaning the cat boys box and ensuring that they were fed separately due to dietary requirements. We will absolutely be working with him again A+. Thank you for an awesome experience!”
“Absolutely incredible sitter! Katelyn took care of my dog, Lola, for two weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Lola adored her from the very beginning, and it was clear every single day that she was in loving, capable hands. Katelyn went above and beyond—not only did she keep Lola safe, happy, and well-loved, she even taught her a couple of new tricks while I was away! She sent updates, was attentive to everything Lola needed, and treated her with the same affection and patience that I would. Coming home to a relaxed, confident dog who clearly had the best time was such a gift. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, reliable, and genuinely great with animals, I can’t recommend Katelyn enough. She’s fantastic.”
“Haley H. did an absolutely MARVELOUS job, looking after our 3 cats. My husband, and I, have NEVER left them, for such a long period of time. We were going away for a month. I was VERY nervous about leaving them at home with someone, the cats, did not know. They were safe. They were healthy. They were happy. I expected weight loss. I expected negative behaviors. I expected "unhappy" critters. NONE of that occurred. Haley kept us informed, as to how the cats were doing. She asked questions, to help her better, tend to them. WE are VERY SATISFIED, with Haley's care. I think the cats are also.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with animals and my dedication to their happiness, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine. Between feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with my own dogs, I’m used to giving animals structure and attention every single day. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.

Rest assured that your fur baby will be well taken care of while on “vacation”.

“What a wonderful couple. They “get” dogs. Our one has separation anxiety and the other is borderline. They seemed so chill here and happy. We even got a happy photo of them. We’ll definitely be back. This is so much better than them being cooped up in a kennel at a boarder. Thank you, see you next time.”

So you dog will never be alone unless I need to run to town for a little. I have a fenced yard and 2 dogs to help entertain your fur baby. If you prefer they stay separated that is possible as well.

“Hannah was great with our puppy! Sent photos shortly after I left l, which put my mind at ease since this was the first time bringing him there. He seemed to love her and his time there! Will definitely use her again! She was also flexible with my pickup time as it shifted due to work. Thank you Hannah!”

About: I have a small hobby farm where I take care of animals off all ages and sizes. I work remotely from home (although I’ve got the ability to travel) so I have time to frequently check on everyone and administer food and meds on a regular basis. Although I only have a partially fenced yard, I have plenty of leader lines and leashes available for potty breaks and exercise. I currently have two dogs and a cat that live in the house with me and are very friendly with other dogs. I have plenty of room for crates if your dog prefers to sleep in a crate, and room for doggy beds if they are particular about where they sleep. I’m also willing to pet sit/farm sit locally if your furry friends would prefer to stay home. I work remotely Monday-Friday. I usually work at home, but I have the ability to work anywhere there is an internet connection if you would prefer an in-home sitter. Working remote gives me the chance to be home all day where I can do potty breaks for my dogs and check on my farm animals. It also allows me to be available if there’s any special requests such as medication and specific feeding times. My cat is a “one cat” kind of guy (we’ll work on that), so for now, I would only feel comfortable hosting dogs ay my house. However, I am available to pet sit in-home for cats or dogs that might feel more comfortable at home. I’m very comfortable giving meds and sticking to a strict feeding schedule if your animal has medical/dietary needs. I’ve seen (almost) everything, so don’t feel like you’re asking too much!
About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was a child. When married and had kids, we’ve always had dogs and have cared for our dogs in every aspect, walking, bathing, grooming, vet care, etc. Currently we don’t have a pet, but our house is a perfect set up to take care of yours. Currently we are retired. We would have plenty of time to go for walks, play and relax. Our dogs in the past have used our very convenient doggy door into a fenced area for potty breaks. Your dog will be treated like one of our own, getting lots of love and attention during the day and can sleep overnight in a doggy bed or crate whichever is preferred.
About: I have many years of experience with all types of animals, especially dogs & cats! I grew up with dogs, horses, chickens, etc. & I’ve worked at a dog boarding & daycare & can handle many unique situations. I’m familiar with medications, nail trims, bathing, walking, brushing, & of course cuddles!! I truly believe all animals deserve all the love in the world. I will treat your pet like they are my own— making sure they are safe, happy, & loved! ❤️ I have a part time job overnight & my husband works days so there is always someone home to spend time with the pups! We have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets & treat them like our own! I am calm & patient with animals & let them go at their own pace with feeling comfortable. Some pets are quicker than others to feel comfortable & that is okay. I love all animals & will work with them to make them feel loved & have fun while their parents are away!

About: I grew up around a variety of different animals and adored each and every one of them. From the time I was 10 I was taught how to care for pets of all kinds (from Bunnies to horses). My family took in senior dogs and gave them a home to be loved in for as long as we could. I have also raised 3 well behaved dogs from puppy hood to adult hood, in my adult life time I work from home, for myself. Other than appointments for both myself and my fur baby. I have nothing really going on during the week. I am very flexible and can accommodate almost any temperament and personality your beloved pet may have. If we are in your home, I will want to know what the schedule you follow is so I can try and stick with it. If your pet is staying overnight, I will ask you to bring enough of their food, one or two toy(s) they adore and a comfort item like a blanket they've had for a while so they can be comfortable in my home with me
About: My husband and I are a team of active, educated individuals who love all types of dogs! My husband is a high school math teacher and I am a high school counselor. Working from home during summer has allowed us plenty of time to spend with our dog. We have a 5 year old Yellow Lab who still has the energy of a puppy! We keep up with all routine vet visits and our dog is caught up on all vaccinations including Bordetella (kennel cough). My husband and I live in town but have a large backyard to accommodate play time. We allow our dog on furniture and in our bed a night time..dogs don’t get the long, full life that is humans get, so we like to let him live it as a spoiled pup! We will love your dog like our own!
About: We grew up with pets and we have a pet loving family. We have a German wirehair pointer dog, cat and raise rabbits for showing. We also volunteer at a local goat farm and help take care of goats. I work full time out of the home, Monday-Friday, so your dog will be kenneled while we are at work. Unless it’s summer or holiday then my schedule may be different. I will do morning walks and night walks and playtime outside after and before work. We have an unfenced large yard so your pet will be leashed for playtime. We have a nice larger private backyard so plenty of space for exercise.

“At first I was a little hesitant at booking her due to a bad review but I listened to my gut and I couldn't be happier! She took care of my baby Archie just how I wished. I would definitely book her again. I'm not sure where the other reviewer is coming from, absolute nonsense. I would trust McKenzie with my baby over and over again.”

And with dog walking I make sure to never let them off the leash and I try to avoid interactions with other people, you never know how a dog will react and it is better to be safe than sorry!
About: Growing up on a farm, I developed a deep passion for animal care that led me to participate in 4-H, county fairs, and FFA during high school. After graduation, I spent over three years working at a veterinary clinic’s boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience in administering medications, behavior training, and providing personalized care. I was promoted to supervisor and emergency care assistant, further strengthening my leadership and critical care skills. I believe every pet deserves individualized attention, whether it’s ensuring playtime, administering medication, or offering extra TLC. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing environment where pets feel happy and owners can trust their pets are in expert hands. Since joining Rover in August 2022, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many pets and building lasting relationships with their owners. With a background in veterinary care, boarding, and behavioral training, I bring a wealth of experience to ensure your pets receive the highest standard of care. I offer a range of services, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, and basic behavioral training (upon request). I’m available for daytime care, drop-ins, and occasional overnight stays on weekdays and select weekends. My flexible schedule allows me to tailor my services to meet your pet’s unique needs. Having worked in the emergency department of a reputable veterinary clinic, I’ve developed an unwavering commitment to animal welfare, approaching each pet’s care with vigilance and attention to detail.

About: When I was little I used to tell people I lived in a Zoo and though it often felt that way with 4 dogs, 2 cats, a bird and rabbits it was not a reality (maybe one day ;) .) I have been caring for animals since I could hold a leash from walking and feeding dogs to trimming cat nails. In the past 5 years I have raised and trained my own high energy Vizsla as well as cared for a few litters of Bernese Mountain Dogs. I deeply believe the relationship a human has with their furry friend is unique and irreplaceable and my goal as a dog caretaker is to protect those relationships. Not only do I keep your furry babies happy and healthy, but I also strive to create peace of mind for you. I just moved to Minnesota and am diving into the vibrance of life here. With that, I am very flexible on timing. Morning-Day-Night and Weekends are all great for me. I completely understand that each dog owner has preferences and ways they want their babies to be cared for. With that, as I enter someone else's space I do so with a mindset of respect for the guidelines and rules they have laid out. I will care for you dog to the best of my abilities while keeping your wishes at the forefront.
“Michael made sure to check in with us with pictures and let us know how each walk went. He was super sweet with our big pup. We have a pitbull who has a tendency to pull on the leash sometimes and if he can handle that he can probably handle your dog great as well! I could tell he really cared. I'd trust him to help us again if needed in the future!”
About: Quality Care with reliability, punctuality, safety and most importantly fun and snuggles! I live in a dog friendly house and I'm a major dog person myself. I love going on walks with dogs (of all sizes). I'm great with feeding schedules and potty schedules. I've worked with dogs of all sizes and breeds for four years now. Need me to house sit? You Betcha! Poop Scoop? No problem. Let me know what your canine needs are and I'll most likely make those accommodations! I'm open to working with dogs with of all abilities as long as I'm made aware of what their needs are. My home is big with a spacious yard but it is not fenced..yet. I live in town but I have a good running route that I love taking my 4 legged friends! I hope to help you give your dog the best life possible. :)
About: I’ve grown up with pets all 22 years of my life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, where I took specialized courses in dog training and behavior, as well as animal nutrition. On top of that, I gained hands-on experience working as a kennel technician at a local veterinary clinic, caring for pets of all ages—including seniors and those with special medical needs. In my free time, I love walking and spending time with my own dogs, so I truly understand how important daily exercise, consistency, and loving companionship are for a happy, healthy pet. Whether your furry friend needs basic care, training support, or just someone to give them attention and love while you're away, I'm here to help! I recently graduated with a degree in Animal Science and am currently exploring job opportunities in the animal care field. This means I have a very open and flexible schedule right now, and I’m available for pet care throughout the week—including weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the consistent care they need! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At my home, I take dogs out on leashes for all potty breaks and walks to ensure they stay safe and secure at all times. My own dog is crate trained, so I’m familiar with using crates as a safe space when needed. I also take time to slowly introduce pets to new environments or routines to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all routines exactly as instructed—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, or favorite walking routes. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment.
About: I lived with 2 cats for a majority of my life. I have experience watching animals for family and friends, looking to meet new best friends. I am currently working full time and going to school part time to earn my master’s degree. Looking for a fun side job to keep life interesting. I am open to having the animals out in the open or crated when not around. Would love to have a yard to play with animals, but not opposed to going to local parks.
About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with animals and my dedication to their happiness, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine. Between feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with my own dogs, I’m used to giving animals structure and attention every single day. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.

About: I have grown up with dogs of all kinds throughout my life, so being around animals has always been a natural part of who I am. While I currently don’t have a pet of my own, caring for others’ pets is incredibly fulfilling because it allows me to continue giving love and attention to animals while helping families feel confident their pets are in good hands. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I focus on providing dependable care, lots of attention, and clear communication with updates and photos so you always feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have lots of company, love and attention throughout the day—no long lonely hours here. I live in an apartment that has a dog park, and lots of nearby walking trails I go to daily. Since I don’t currently have a pet of my own, caring for others’ pets truly brings so much happiness into our home. I love creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I do everything I can to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident in my care.
“Kayla was so great with our 16-yr old girl for a 5-day trip! She sent photos and updates while we were away and we felt so comfortable and didn't worry at all. She even sent our girl home with some treats, which was above and beyond. We don't know how much longer our dog will be with us, but we are so grateful to have gotten to know Kayla so we have a safe place to leave her for any future trips. You can tell she loves dogs and we 100% recommend her.”
“Lily was a great sitter for our dog! She was excellent about communicating in advance of the stay and was diligent about sending daily updates! Our dog loved their stay and got lots of playtime in with their two pups. She was also great about handling some anxiety at bedtime for the first couple nights. I could tell she is experienced with dogs and cared about marking our dog’s stay as comfortable as possible. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
