“I have used Jenny and Mark twice now in the last month. Bost experiences have been easy and comfortable. I know they are taking good care of my dog and will continue to use them in the future.”
“Katie is great with our two dogs and very accommodating to our schedule when needed. This was our second time with her and we plan to use her again if possible. Thanks from Phoebe and Dexter for a great weekend!”
“Hather had an amazing time with Kyle, who took the best care of our big old guy and was attentive to his needs. Thanks Kyle for making a home-away-from-home for our dog!”
“Lan took great care of our dog Jorah, while we were away for the weekend, would 100% recommend Lan to anyone in need of a pet sitter and will utilize her in the future! She sent us pictures of Jorah every day and let us know how he was doing! She was always quick to respond as well.”
“This was Bucks first experience boarding with Robert, and we will for sure be repeat customers! Right from first request, communication was quick and informative. I chose Robert based on his positive reviews, and I am happy to be adding to them now! Even though it was just an overnight stay I got pictures and updates on how Buck was doing. Buck looked happy in every photo. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Robert again when I need to board Buck!”
“Lilo had another amazing stay with Roxanne! Lilo requires medications three times a day and we only trust Roxanne to handle this. She also reliably sends updates so we know Lilo is doing well and having fun. We also love the many pictures we get of Lilo. We highly recommend Roxanne!”
“Ashley was amazing! Juno is very shy and usually takes a long time to warm up to strangers. Ashley was very patient with her and provided a calm and supportive environment. She also took Juno on at least 1 long walk a day - if not two and had a fantastic birthday celebration for Juno with a hike and raw bone!!! I would go back to Ashley in a heartbeat. I also really appreciated her daily updates with photos of Juno so I knew she was doing well and having fun.”
“I cannot recommend Mario enough!! I was nervous to leave my anxious senior cat but Mario put so much effort into making sure he was comfortable and relaxed for his entire stay! I received daily updates on how my cat was doing/settling in and will absolutely be boarding him with Mario for all future trips!”
“Monika and her pet family were wonderful with my two dogs. My dogs got along well with her pets and loved the large, fenced back yard. My older dog is deaf and has some GI issues requiring medication which Monika took care of for me. The pictures she sent on a daily basis showed how happy they were and cared for. They stayed for a week and loved every minute with her family.”
“Stan is great with dogs and we felt so good about leaving our puppy with him. He’s calm and loving and his own dog welcomed ours and they became friends. We felt so comfortable knowing our dog was happy.”
“Julie and family were great caretakers and communicators. My dog hadn’t been away from us for a while and arrived with his quirks. Julie was patient with him and helped him feel at home. A great Rover family!”
“Claire did a great job taking care of our dog Remy! He is a high energy lab mix and can be anxious and very vocal, but Claire was patient and sent lots of updates.”

“Nicole and David were wonderful with our dog, Luna. They were patient with her timid personality and allowed her to come out of her shell in her own time. They updated me frequently of how Luna was getting along and I appreciated their communication.”
“Rachel took excellent care of our dog Fisher while we were out of town. She sent us photos every day and he had a happy time with her. We highly recommend Rachel and look forward to her taking care of our dog again soon!”
“First time with Dynette. She was very concerned with Bella's needs especially when she had diarrhea. Good communication daily and pictures sent relieved some of our anxiety. Would request Dynette again.”
“Cooper was in great care while we were on vacation! Highly recommend Dale and Betsy as care for your pet. Very kind, gentle and provided daily pictures of his loving care they provided.”
“Jessica was fantastic about taking care of my dog. They gave me daily update and could tell they really wanted to make her comfortable. They were responsive to all of my questions it was such a great experience.”
“I couldn’t be happier about finding Shevon & Ian - they are a perfect fit for Loki. Very caring, very attentive and understanding of a young but very large dog’s needs (and quirks!) They have a wonderful house with a huge fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood, and their daughter and dog Warren are equally awesome. Shevon even went out of her way between visits to help us find a new vet when Loki was struggling with a severe case of pneumonia. Can’t recommend them enough!”

“Amber was a wonderful sitter! Amber had excellent communication, shared updates with photos & took excellent care of our 3 pets. We would highly recommend Amber as a future sitter!”
“Jenna was great! She was easy to plan with, easy going about the instructions for my cats, and was very nice to chat with. My cats were a little naughty (just making messes and being cats) and she handled that all really well.”
About: Cats have always been my specialty. I share my home with rescue cats from a variety of backgrounds, giving me hands on experience with many different personalities, ages, and care needs. I'm comfortable caring for senior cats and those who need extra attention, including administering medication, cleaning around the eyes, brushing, and making sure they receive the correct food and feeding routine. I understand that every cat is different, and I take the time to learn what makes each one feel safe and comfortable. A clean litter box is essential to a cat's well being, especially for cats who are particular about their routine. I thoroughly scoop, stir, refresh litter as needed, and keep the area clean so your cat stays happy and comfortable. I also believe cat care is about more than food and litter. During every visit, I spend quality time with your cat based on their personality—whether that's gentle pets, interactive play with toys, quiet companionship, or simply letting them set the pace. My goal is for your cat to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you're away. I'll also send photo updates so you can see how your cat is doing and enjoy a few cute moments while you're gone. I care for every cat as if they were one of my own, and I know how much peace of mind that can bring to fellow cat lovers.
About: I have over 2 years of experience working at dog daycares! With both cats and dogs. I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat at home! I have experience administering medicine as I worked at a dog daycare in Fargo for 2 years. Additionally, I have experience de-escalating dangerous situations with animals and have been trained in animal CPR and first aid. I feed my cat at the same times every day and make sure to always find time to play with her. Pet care is naturally a part of my daily routine and I am very well organized and flexible enough to be able to add more. I would care for the pets in your home by following your instructions/guidelines and treating them how I would want my animals to be treated.
About: I great up in a household of mainly dogs. I adopted my first cat 8 years ago and instantly became a cat person. I am known by family and friends as the person who befriends cats anywhere I go. My cat obsession has gone so far as to invade my home decore and clothing
“Mario took fantastic care of my cat while I was away for a long weekend. My cat needs meds daily and I had never boarded him before and was nervous about all of it. Mario was highly communicative both before and during my cat’s stay, and assured me through messages and videos that my cat was receiving the care he needed. Mario was attentive but also respected my cat’s moods and gave him space when needed. I will be back for future boarding needs!”
“Dakota appears to have checked all boxes requested! Cats are older and pretty inactive, but i see no problems at all. Communication was steady and reliable. Thanks Dakota! Planning on using her in the very near future if she is available.”

“We dropped Agnes off with Emily today for some Doggy Daycare. This was our first foray into using Rover and wanted to be sure that Aggie was happy and as a good fit for Emily before boarding her with Emily next week. Agnes had the very best time! Emily kept us in the loop during the day on Agnes’ exploits. We had been nervous about trying to find someone that would care for her as she has a lot of energy can sometimes be nervous around new people and surroundings. She was up in her seat as we drove up to Emily’s house and was excited to play. After a full day of fun, she is exhausted. Emily is so caring and devoted to all the dogs she cares for and it is so great that we were able to find her. We look forward to many more fun filled days for Agnes in the future with Emily. Thank you Em!”
“Jaley did a great job taking care of my lab and bringing her on many short walks. Her home is located in a great location for walks. Jaley was prompt to reply to me and was very nice. I would recommend!”
“Bethany was THE BEST person for my dog. She has a very lovely home that is tidy and has created such a calming and welcoming vibe. Throughout the sit, she would keep me informed on what was going on and reassured my anxieties of leaving my dog with her. She listens and respects any of your requests. I could tell my dog had a lovely time with her because by the time I came to pick him up, he was hesitant to leave, which all the good signs that he felt at home. If I'm ever in the area again, Bethany would ultimately be my first choice. Thank you Bethany for all you've done to help my dog feel like it was another home and friend to visit.”
“Sunshine is super caring and has been a wonderful sitter for my dog. She’s flexible, communicative and sends lots of updates! My pup looks forward to spending time with her!”

He came home happy and tired🥳 Thank you, Takenya for caring so deeply and communicating so well!”

About: Hi! My name is Allie and I've spent most of my life loving and caring for pets in multiple different environments over the years. I grew up with a bushel of miniature schnauzers, a few rodents and a snake. In college I took in a feral barn kitten and made her the talk of the university! After college, I spent 5-6 years working in a dog daycare facility which gave me experience with all different breeds and an immense amount of knowledge on behavior. After doggy daycare I moved on to working in a veterinary hospital which was an incredible resource and opportunity for me to increase me knowledge on medications as well as other medical knowledge. I would love to have the opportunity to spoil your pet as well as give you a safe space to leave your furry friend! Over the summer I am out of work and home with my pups and kids. In late August I will be headed back to work at a school nearby but working relatively short hours. We love to go on walks, to the dog park, the human park or just lounge in the back yard. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a large back yard. It is not fenced in but I do have a long line. I have a 12 year old pup who is a calm, unbothered queen and a year old pup who loves everyone and everything. In addition, I have 2 kiddos that are incredibly respectful of other pets space and will love your pets as much as their own however they can be crated if needed 😉

“Carrie is the best! Bear was well taken care of and had so much fun with Willow!! Bear was 100% comfortable going there each day! Thank you, Carrie & Willow - we’ll see you soon!”
“Tristan was able to squeeze us in last minute for day care when our apartment had to be fumigated. Bentley was wiped out after from a long day of playing! :)”

About: Hello my name is Chelsea and I love animals. Growing up I lived on a hobby farm with cats, dogs, horses, goats, fish and chickens to now when I have reptiles, two dogs and a cat. My dream job would be to work with animals every day and build a trust between owner and sitter because I know the feeling when you can trust that your animal baby will be cared for to the fullest extent. I have always cared for animals and have been to a few basic animal emergency classes that I learned a lot from such as cpr on cats, dogs and reptiles to learning basic signs of pain or uncomfortably. I can’t wait to meet more animals and am excited to start. I have always had a routine and the pets were just a part of that. If I leave the house the have each other but I’m never gone for more then an couple hours. I care for them as I would my own, they are apart of the family and I wouldn’t want it any other way. If they need water; I would fill the bowl, same with food. If they needed potty break I would take them outside; and if they wanted to cuddle and watch a movie on the couch I would allow it.
About: Ever since I can remember I've always had a dog in my house, all different kinds. My own, and some of my parents fostered or took in temporarily from friends. I'm ready to walk, run, play, or nap with your pupper or kitty! Some of my favorite things are walks, fetch with a ball, and blowing bubbles. I have a dog named Wheezer and a cat named Titan. I'm so excited to meet you and your furry family members, thank you so much for your consideration! I am currently self employed in theatre (in the process of creating my own company) and have lots of spare time, especially during the day, to help take care of your pets! I have a high functioning car, and am ready to travel to you and your pet and/or being them to their favorite park! I live in an apartment, so my current favorite way to help out is to come to you and your furry friend!
About: I’ve had 15 years of dogs in my houses and many pets in the family who have needed sitting. I’m also normally responsible for the puppy age :) My dog is a 6 year old black lab. We live along the river in a townhouse, so I’m always out taking him for long walks or to the neighborhood dog park. I’m currently unemployed so have lots of free time and in the habit of pet care! Pet care available in our home. We have 3 separate floors so I can keep your dog apart from my dog if preferred. Lovely dog park a short walk from the house, access to grass areas right outside our front door, and miles of paths along the river that a very walk friendly.
About: I am an inclusive, outdoorsy, and compassionate pet and house sitter with almost two decades of experience. I care about your pets and house as if it were my own! I have cared for creatures big and small, and maintain the most similar household routine as possible for your pet. My first job was in a veterinary clinic, so I am comfortable with administering medicines and taking care of animals with special needs. I am a full-time high school counselor. I am proud of my work/life boundaries, so I keep my schedule at school tight. I am out of the house from 7:30-4:30 on the weekdays. With my pet sitting experience, I am used to working in a pet’s routine with my schedule. If you are looking to book me in the summer, however, I have nothing but time! :) I rent, so am unable to board your pets in my home. I have, however, extensive experience staying in the homes of the critters I care for. I am a respectful and tidy guest, and always try to leave the home better than I found it.
About: I grew up on a dairy farm, and have been around many different animals over the years. I started out pet sitting for friends of family members, and families in my local community in my spare time. I have also taken care of a few senior pets over the years by making sure they get their right medications and foods throughout my stay. I also help take care of farm animals, outdoor bird feeders, along with indoor and outdoor plant watering and care. I currently have two cats, Scooter and Goose and they are my world. I am currently working about 20-25 hours a week. My current job is very flexible with hours and time that would allow me to stop in a care for your pets. I am available to do a few days, with the possibility of extending that period of time. I would be able to stop in and care for your pets before I head to work for the day (roughly 4 to 8 hours regularly, but can be flexible) and again after I am done with work for the day before engaging in any activities or turning in for the evening. I am open to stopping in daily and caring for you pets in your home as I dont have much space while I am currently living in the city with roommates and multiple pets in our household. If your pet has a favorite park, or yard to play in, I would be happy to engage in their favorite activities hwith them in those places.
“Remy is great with my dog! She is communicative and thorough. I know my dog is in great care with her. She is also a great photographer and sends the best pictures! I highly recommended Remy!”

About: I have taken care of all my pets for most of my life, I have a genuine love for animals and nature. My family has had many pets so I have a little bit more experience then other people my age. My current schedule is very flexible, so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pets special care! I work for SSPPS from 1pm to 6pm, Monday to Thursday with Friday's and weekends off! so I have plenty of free time to give your pets extra care :) I will make sure you animals are safe and comfortable, in their home or mine! I have a big fenced in yard and two very friendly dogs. The backyard is huge so there will be plenty of space for them to run around :)
About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I have been caring for them since I was a child. Our family had a lot of pets while I was growing up, and we always took in animals that needed help. Including baby squirells, a crow, a turtle that got hit by a car, as well as cats and dogs. This has translated into me being a life long pet owner, and rescuer of animals. I live in an area that has a large feral cat population, and I have taken it upon myself to help alleviate this problem. I have trapped, over 20 feral cats in the past 10 years. Once captured, I get them spayed/neutered, vaccinated, as well as have any of their medical needs taken care of. I keep each cat for at least a month to see if they are adoption eligible, and if they are, I foster them until I find a good home for them. If not, I get their ear clipped, and I release them. Unfortunately, this is costly but Ive been able to "afford" it until this past year when I had some costly vet bills. Including the last cat I rescued (Buddy) who was involved in a fight with another feral cat, got his tail bitten, and it cost me over $3000 to get his tail amputated. It was also a long, and difficult recovery process requiring many hours of care and attention. Luckily Buddy came through and is the sweetest little guy. I found a home for him at a group home, and he is now living his best life. I would like to continue to provide this service but I can not afford too many more instances like buddy, or ill be the homeless one out wandering the streets in need of rescuing. So, I have been contemplating ways in which to earn some extra money to help pay the bills. Once I discovered Rover it became obvious that this is the perfect solution. I can earn money to help pay for my feral cat project, spend even more time with animals, and provide a valuable service where I have a lot of experience. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages and temperments. I have trained many dogs, including those of family and friends. All money earned from Rover will go directly towards helping animals (mostly cats) who are in need in my community. I currently have 4 cats that I care for on a daily basis. That number can fluctuate because I periodically take in cats that I foster for at least a month. I will care for pets in your home by paying attention to your pet and getting an idea of what it wants and or needs.
About: Someone who grew up with at least two rescue dogs in the house at all time, a few cats and horses, I've taken care of animals of all sizes, breeds, personalities, ages, and needs throughout my lifetime. I've even seen kittens born! I raised and loved the one I chose to mine, finally saying goodbye when she reached the ripe age of 21. Whether it is puppies / kittens, mid-life, or elderly I have experienced all the life stages of our fur babies. I've also dealt with the not so fun parts of being a fur baby parent. From cleaning up hairballs or puke because the dog decided to eat grass, cleaning a dog who decided it was a good idea to go for a swim in the pond, or literally breaking up cat fights... I've been there. Because I teach, and right now school is out, I would be home during the majority of the day during the summer for pet sitting. Come the school year, I would be away between school hours. Because right now I'm working part-time I have plenty of extra time to fit walking your fur baby into my schedule! I have a large porch which leads down to a fenced-in yard. My fur baby personally loves sunning himself on the porch or going down to the yard and just exploring. The apartment itself is a renovated music studio so it is wide, spacious, and beautifully designed. Your fur baby would have his own feeding area and you are welcome to bring any toys or other comfort items. I've had to board my cat before so I know how important the small things are.
About: I have had pets in my life since childhood! I grew up in a busy home full of different animals (dogs, cats, fish, lizards, bunnies, birds, etc.) and have cared for animals of all different ages and abilities. I also have experience volunteering at an animal clinic. I work hybrid so am available every day except tuesday’s and wednesdays during the day. I am available any night overnight and on weekends too. I adjust my care based on the fur babies need. If they are more active, I am able to do walks often, but if they are older, I am happy to lounge around! I am used to working on a feeding schedule so strict feeding/medicine schedules are no concern for me.
About: I've had lots of experience with a wide variety of dogs from family pets to working with Wag! I have a 8 month old German Shepard/Lab, Opal, so I am comfortable with puppies and high energy breeds. I also have experience caring for senior animals. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I am mostly available for weekend care but can do walks & check ins during the week if I bring my youngest with me. I am open to boarding and other care during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard for lots of fetch & play time. We love walks & hiking so lots of opportunities for exercise, fun & bonding with the dogs. I also have experience with crating if that is necessary.

“I have used Jenny and Mark twice now in the last month. Bost experiences have been easy and comfortable. I know they are taking good care of my dog and will continue to use them in the future.”
“Hather had an amazing time with Kyle, who took the best care of our big old guy and was attentive to his needs. Thanks Kyle for making a home-away-from-home for our dog!”
“This was Bucks first experience boarding with Robert, and we will for sure be repeat customers! Right from first request, communication was quick and informative. I chose Robert based on his positive reviews, and I am happy to be adding to them now! Even though it was just an overnight stay I got pictures and updates on how Buck was doing. Buck looked happy in every photo. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Robert again when I need to board Buck!”
“Ashley was amazing! Juno is very shy and usually takes a long time to warm up to strangers. Ashley was very patient with her and provided a calm and supportive environment. She also took Juno on at least 1 long walk a day - if not two and had a fantastic birthday celebration for Juno with a hike and raw bone!!! I would go back to Ashley in a heartbeat. I also really appreciated her daily updates with photos of Juno so I knew she was doing well and having fun.”
“Monika and her pet family were wonderful with my two dogs. My dogs got along well with her pets and loved the large, fenced back yard. My older dog is deaf and has some GI issues requiring medication which Monika took care of for me. The pictures she sent on a daily basis showed how happy they were and cared for. They stayed for a week and loved every minute with her family.”
“Stan is great with dogs and we felt so good about leaving our puppy with him. He’s calm and loving and his own dog welcomed ours and they became friends. We felt so comfortable knowing our dog was happy.”
“Julie and family were great caretakers and communicators. My dog hadn’t been away from us for a while and arrived with his quirks. Julie was patient with him and helped him feel at home. A great Rover family!”
“Claire did a great job taking care of our dog Remy! He is a high energy lab mix and can be anxious and very vocal, but Claire was patient and sent lots of updates.”
“Nicole and David were wonderful with our dog, Luna. They were patient with her timid personality and allowed her to come out of her shell in her own time. They updated me frequently of how Luna was getting along and I appreciated their communication.”
“Cooper was in great care while we were on vacation! Highly recommend Dale and Betsy as care for your pet. Very kind, gentle and provided daily pictures of his loving care they provided.”
“Jessica was fantastic about taking care of my dog. They gave me daily update and could tell they really wanted to make her comfortable. They were responsive to all of my questions it was such a great experience.”
“I couldn’t be happier about finding Shevon & Ian - they are a perfect fit for Loki. Very caring, very attentive and understanding of a young but very large dog’s needs (and quirks!) They have a wonderful house with a huge fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood, and their daughter and dog Warren are equally awesome. Shevon even went out of her way between visits to help us find a new vet when Loki was struggling with a severe case of pneumonia. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“Aimee and Robert were great with a last minute booking for our nervous girl. In the middle of moving it was so nice to know Ruby was taken care of. She came home relaxed and happy.”
“Kristen and her family helped us out over a weekend. Her young girls have a lot of energy but she kept and eye on our Leo to be sure they were good with him. He sleeps a lot and they let him do that. All evidence was that Leo was cared for.”
“It was an amazing first Rover experience for our dog and cat. Our dog loved the yard and their playmate. Our cat got as much love and scratches as she wanted.”
“We absolutely love when Bill and Tristan watch our pups! They are so gracious, and take great care of them. We never worry! This past time we had a series of unfortunate events that delayed our return and they were great and did not bat an eye! Truly the best!”
“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”
“Single best dog watchers we're ever had. Such a loving sweet family who treated our girls like they were their own family dogs. We couldn't be more happy”
“Highly recommend Jaley for anyone looking for dog care! Communication was seamless and she sent regular photo updates throughout the stay so I never worried. Her location is full of walking trails and nature which is perfect for walking dogs. I will absolutely book with her again!”
“Alicja was very sweet and communicative. She helped us as soon as we needed it. We learned a lot about our dogs as they stayed with her and received pictures every day! I highly, highly recommend her!”
