“Lan has watched my puppy Posie a couple times now and she takes such great care of her! She’s super accommodating- my flight was delayed this past weekend and she was very nice about keeping my puppy longer than planned. Highly recommend her!”
“Jenny and Mark took excellent care of our dog over 2 weeks. Communication was easy and we received regular updates. I would definitely have them dog sit again!”
“Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.”
“Katie was amazing! She kept us in the loop the whole time and had great communication. Even though our dog chewed the door frame a bit, Katie was very understanding and didn't blame our pup. She has 2 other dogs Wally and Daphne. She has a fenced in backyard. Our dog got along with them both. They are both older dogs and calm. Highly recommend Katie to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Ashley did a wonderful job watching my goldendoodle Crosby! She sent an update and/or picture everyday to let us know what kind of activities they got up to each day. I was very happy with how much exercise she gave Crosby, sometimes I was worried that he was having so much fun that he wouldn't even want to come home! Knowing that Crosby was in such good hands with Ashley while I was gone gave me a lot of peace of mind.”
“Mario is the absolute best! My cat is a picky girl, but Mario's patience, kindness, understanding and love for what he does, shows through with each video, and text message that lets you know that your pet is in good hands! Will I book again? 100% 🩷”
“Rachel was an excellent sitter for Rosie!! Her space is very dog friendly. Rosie has some anxiety, but she seemed very comfortable with Rachel. I appreciated Rachel’s daily updates and pictures. Would highly recommend Rachel as a sitter!”
“Katie walked Marvel several times a day. She was sensitive to the heat and walked him early in the morning. He got lots of attention. She provided him with a huge assortment of toys which he loved. The daily pictures and videos were great!”
“These guys are my go to for my dog Maggie! Her tail starts wagging as we come near their house. As a dog owner and a worker on Rover myself, this relieves my anxiety about going on a trip and leaving my baby! You guys are the best!!!! Until next time.... Kari and Maggie”
“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!”

Low stress, quiet home, play/exercise, and lots of affection. Nothing but the best for Fluffy! Recently retired and ready to provide overnight boarding for small to medium-sized dogs.

“Takenya was great to work with. She is a great communicator and sent a bunch of photos and videos, which was fun and helped me not worry about my dogs. This was my first time using Rover, and Takenya allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation.”
“It may sound cliche, but in this case it also true that Robert truly enjoys being with and caring for your dog. He’s responsive, conscientious, and sent a few great photos of our dog relaxing on her bed - she appeared to immediately feel safe and cared for. Thank you!”
“Our dog had such a great time with Robert, his wife and their sweet dog Maizy. Robert was very communicative and sent at least a few photos every day. They took our dog on lots of walks in the parks nearby and really welcomed her into their home. We will definitely use them again soon!”
“Shevon & Ian took excellent care of our senior dog, Gunter! He had an extended stay with them while we were out of town, and they sent great pictures and updates. They have a great fenced in yard and helped Gunter with all his medications. Shevon & Ian are great communicators, and were very accommodating of our special requests.”
“We have two high energy Standard Poodles - a 2 and a 1 year old - who stayed with Lisa for two nights. We booked this at the last minute because our original provider had to cancel. Lisa was great with our dogs even though they’d never met her before. She knows how to connect & establish a relationship - even with our timid one year old. Lisa communicates clearly about arrangements and sent us photos and videos too. We’ll happily use her again!”
“This was Wallace’s longest stay. Roxanne’s wonderful photos and updates brightened my days and assured me that he was having fun and being loved.”
“Brenda & family were amazing with Aspen. Aspen felt right at home and happy. I received regular updates and knew she was well taken care of. Highly recommended.”
“Deborah was so good to Jet and very attentive and communicative with our family. We appreciated the frequent updates and pictures that were sent. We will definitely book with Deborah again. 10/10!!”

“Can I just say, she is absolutely wonderful! Another last minute booking due to work and i know I don’t need to stress about my girl while I’m gone! 10/10 all the stars! Meow meow !!! - Ember Kitty”
“Shayla was wonderful! This ended up being a last minute trip we took and Shayla took the time to even squeeze in a meet and greet before we left. The check-ins and details updates were great and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing Harvey was in good hands. We will be rebooking again - Thank you Shayla!!”
“Hannah was so great with our cats (one very timid, one very playful) and even helped put a cone on one of the cats which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend!”
“Sara was AMAZING!! She took such great care of my buddy while I was out of town and sent me so many videos and photos so I knew he was getting all the love and affection he needed. I will be kidding her again when I'm out of town again.”
“I will be forever grateful for Danielle’s loving care of my Emma. She went above and beyond. Period. Danielle followed every instruction regarding food and general care but what mattered most to me was her focus on Emma’s emotional wellbeing. Her kindness, love and knowledge of cats helped ensure a safe environment for my beloved Emma. The photos and videos I received from each visit was a joyful relief. I will definitely request Danielle again and again and again.”
“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.”
“Jill did an amazing job caring for our two cats and keeping us updated daily with photos and texts. I would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to others!”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat while we were out of town. We loved getting our daily Pickles update and she was a happy cat when we got home!”
About: I have had ams cared for cats for my entire life. My current kitties, Kiwi ans Dewey, are 5 years old and will always have a special place in my heart. Dewey has had urinary issues so I am familiar in how to administer oral medications and monitoring urinary output. My Kiwi is a shy girl and can take some patience to get some things done.
“Penny was my favorite sitter so far. She was great at communicating before, during, and after the trip. She left my house almost better than it was before I left. But most importantly, she bonded with my cats. I felt completely at ease while away because I could tell by her messages and photos that she genuinely liked my cats. Bonus... She also has a sense of humor. I will definitely be booking with Penny again.”
“Maxi (my girl cat) loved staying at Mario's. I was afraid she wouldn't want to come home. He played with her, fed her, groomed her, treated her like royalty. I definitely will have him babysit my girl again.”
About: My first German Shepard, Sheeba, trotted into my life when I was 4, and my intense, burning passion for dogs ignited. I’ve had them throughout my life and have yet to meet a dog I didn’t adore. Basically, I’m the guy at house parties in the office alone smooshing your pup’s face and giving them belly rubs. I’m comfortable with all sorts of breeds and temperaments. I work remote in a deadline based job that offers me some excellent flexibility. I’m able to be on site with your dog throughout the day, ensuring they get plenty of attention and outside time. When I’m caring for your dog, I’m caring for your family member. I know firsthand the amount of trust it takes to allow someone to be responsible for your loved one(s) and respect your property, and I don’t take that lightly.
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.
“This was our first experience using Rover. Thank you for making it so easy. Macy S was the best! She was so polite and conscientious. She sent the cutest pictures of our cats warming up to her and it made us feel relieved they were safe so we could enjoy our time away from them. Overall very positive experience. Would use Rover again.”
“Rachel did a great job housesitting for our two kitties who are a bit demanding. She took care of our mail, trash, packages, and other people coming and going from our home while we were gone. Highly recommend hiring her if you want peace of mind while on your vacation. Will use her again for upcoming trips.”
About: Cats have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I truly appreciate how unique each one’s personality can be. As a Leo, I’ve always felt a special kinship with them—it inspires me to be the kind of caregiver they deserve! I respect their boundaries, follow their lead, and let them set the tone since, of course, they’re the true rulers of the home. I’m patient with shy or independent cats, love giving attention to the social ones, and I don’t mind handling the less glamorous side of care—like keeping litter boxes fresh and clean. Whether it’s playtime, quiet company, or helping them feel comfortable while you’re away, I’m dedicated to making sure every cat feels safe, seen, and cared for.

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

We would definitely recommend Ellen and look forward to more visits in the future!”

“Emily was very organized and took care of Frisco well. He came home tired from a day of hanging out with the dogs at Emily's house. Emily made drop off and pick up very easy.

About: I've had pets since I was a child. My best friend and I would catch lizards and insects growing up. I've volunteered at my local shelter (in Florida), and I often visit shelters to give animals attention. Friends and coworkers know me for my love for animals and entrust me with their care when they are away for a work day or an extended period of time. LGBTQIA+ friendly Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I live and work full-time in downtown St. Paul with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide care on workdays—whether that’s walks, check-ins, or some quality time. On weekends, I’m able to dedicate full days to pet care. I love going on neighborhood walks and outdoor excursions when the weather’s nice, and I’d be happy to have your fur baby join me. I always meet each pet where they’re at, whether they need lots of activity or a little extra emotional support. When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I focus on giving each animal the kind of attention and interaction that fits their personality. I’m happy to provide all the pets, cuddles, and playtime they want, but I always let them set the pace. I love playing fetch, being chased (or doing the chasing!), and I’m comfortable engaging in a bit of rough play with larger breeds when appropriate to help them burn off energy. I always respect an animal’s space and let them approach me first. With cats, for example, I’ll take things slowly and use gentle cues like slow blinking to help build trust. Whether your pet loves being a lap companion or just wants a calm presence nearby, I’m attentive to their needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in any environment.
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 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.
“She is absolutely amazing! Very friendly and does a great job. She really cares about the animals she takes care of and is always on time. Thanks again for all you do. :)”
“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!”
“Kayleah did a great job with our very large and energetic Shepherd mix! Her communication was excellent, and Dawson was always excited to see her. Next time we need a dog walker, we’ll definitely reach out!”
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid. In middle school, I began taking care of family & friends’ dogs. I love spending quality time with dogs, getting to know their unique personalities, and honoring their needs. I am also an experienced dog groomer who values building a bond of trust with pets and their families. I am a full-time student from September-May. I work part-time during the summer, so I generally have more time to spend with your pet throughout the week. I play organ and sing at various churches every weekend, which occupies my Saturday evenings & Sunday mornings. I also practice music every weekday morning. My home does not allow for pets, so I will be happy to stay in your home and take care of your dog in the environment they know best.
About: I’ve had pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, pigs etc.) my whole life, but have not been able to have my own in recent years due to my partner’s frequent work travel! Looking to get my animal loving fix while I’m stateside :) I love walks and I am able to accommodate the needs of high energy breeds who need to be walked far/frequently. Very willing to take animals who may need medicines at certain times, and very patient with both young and old animals. I’m currently working part time, so I am very flexible and able to accommodate any schedule your pet is accustomed to in order to make their sitting experience as stress free as possible! I require meet and greats for all new clients to ensure it’s a good fit for me and your furry friend! When walking dogs (and the rare cat who likes walks!) I complete a check off all leash and harness components before I embark. I typically avoid allowing strangers to pet when they ask, unless it’s specifically mentioned that the pet is tolerant of attention from strangers. I also take care to walk away from any other pets whenever possible to mitigate risk of any other animal being aggressive. I am very reliable when it comes to home security, and I ensure that client homes are secured and keys (if applicable) are returned to lockboxes or elsewhere they belong. I will be in communication strictly through the Rover app and will be available constantly for messages and calls. I send frequent photos of pets as well, as part of my process of communicating with clients.
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I can remember and the first thing I wanted to do when I moved out on my own was to get my own little puppy so I got my first mini dachshund who I named Bennie. He is the light of my life. I love him so much! I’m currently working part-time so I would expect to be able to visit a home once or twice a day. Probably once in the morning and once in the late afternoon or evening. I am very experienced with the dogs and I love to meet new dogs! I was raised around animals so I have a lot of experience with lots of different types of animals too.
“Julie is patient, kind and an excellent communicator! Her gentle and quiet style works well for my shy dog, and she takes extra time to ensure he's comfortable and happy. I appreciate her detailed updates and great communication!”
“Sy has been a lifesaver helping me with Lilly during the week!! She was super quick to respond to my initial request, which I was so grateful for because I needed services suddenly. And to top it all off, Lilly loves her so I feel like she’s in great hands whenever I’m gone! She goes above and beyond, even helping me with her medication when I asked. And she seems to really care about Lilly’s wellbeing, like she’s her own. Definitely recommend!!”
“Michelle did an amazing job with Daisy. Very timely with communication in the booking process. Very impressed and will be the first place we look when we have walking needs!”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, a bearded dragon, and a whole lot of fish. I have a soft spot for spicy cats as I have one of my own. Currently, live in a space where I can't have a dog but if I could it would be a loveable rescue who loves to play and to go on walks. I've taken care of many friends and family pets over the years and excited to make some new furry (and scaly) friends! Through the summer my schedule is very flexible. I work at an elementary school as a reading tutor so during the school year I am available late afternoons/evenings and weekends. I am organized, outgoing, and friendly and as long as you have detailed instructions I feel confident taking care of your pets in your home.
About: Growing up with 2 dogs, I know the amount of pure joy and giggles all doggies bring to families! I grew up with 2 little Dachshund (wiener) Dogs named Frankie and Lily! They were both so smart and oddly enough thought they could fly! They knew every night at exactly 9pm it was officially SNACK time! As they both aged, I spent much time carrying them up/down stairs, walking them and bringing them to appts such as Vet, Chiro and other therapies. There is no greater experience than coming home to your best friend wagging their tail. My main job is supporting the deaf/hard of hearing in the twin cities. My work experience allows me to get a sense of my surroundings quickly. I have experience house sitting, walking dogs and also taking dogs to vet/grooming appointments. Now I have 2 fur babies Highlander cats, Gracie and Fynn. ❤️ can’t believe I lived so long without my kitty cats!!

“Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.”
“Ashley did a wonderful job watching my goldendoodle Crosby! She sent an update and/or picture everyday to let us know what kind of activities they got up to each day. I was very happy with how much exercise she gave Crosby, sometimes I was worried that he was having so much fun that he wouldn't even want to come home! Knowing that Crosby was in such good hands with Ashley while I was gone gave me a lot of peace of mind.”
“Katie walked Marvel several times a day. She was sensitive to the heat and walked him early in the morning. He got lots of attention. She provided him with a huge assortment of toys which he loved. The daily pictures and videos were great!”
“These guys are my go to for my dog Maggie! Her tail starts wagging as we come near their house. As a dog owner and a worker on Rover myself, this relieves my anxiety about going on a trip and leaving my baby! You guys are the best!!!! Until next time.... Kari and Maggie”
“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!”
“Takenya was great to work with. She is a great communicator and sent a bunch of photos and videos, which was fun and helped me not worry about my dogs. This was my first time using Rover, and Takenya allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation.”
“It may sound cliche, but in this case it also true that Robert truly enjoys being with and caring for your dog. He’s responsive, conscientious, and sent a few great photos of our dog relaxing on her bed - she appeared to immediately feel safe and cared for. Thank you!”
“Our dog had such a great time with Robert, his wife and their sweet dog Maizy. Robert was very communicative and sent at least a few photos every day. They took our dog on lots of walks in the parks nearby and really welcomed her into their home. We will definitely use them again soon!”
“Shevon & Ian took excellent care of our senior dog, Gunter! He had an extended stay with them while we were out of town, and they sent great pictures and updates. They have a great fenced in yard and helped Gunter with all his medications. Shevon & Ian are great communicators, and were very accommodating of our special requests.”
“We have two high energy Standard Poodles - a 2 and a 1 year old - who stayed with Lisa for two nights. We booked this at the last minute because our original provider had to cancel. Lisa was great with our dogs even though they’d never met her before. She knows how to connect & establish a relationship - even with our timid one year old. Lisa communicates clearly about arrangements and sent us photos and videos too. We’ll happily use her again!”
“Brenda & family were amazing with Aspen. Aspen felt right at home and happy. I received regular updates and knew she was well taken care of. Highly recommended.”
“Deborah was so good to Jet and very attentive and communicative with our family. We appreciated the frequent updates and pictures that were sent. We will definitely book with Deborah again. 10/10!!”
“Haley was great with my dog Griffin. She sent photos and let me know how things were going. When I picked Griffin up, he seemed very happy so I know things went very well for him. I would highly recommend Jaley”
“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.”
“Angela provides a kind, loving and stable second home to our rescue German shepherd mix Rufus. With family in the South and West, we take a lot of trips. Rufus can’t come on all of them. Angela is truly a saving angel who does everything she can to be available. Rufus is almost as excited to see her at the beginning of his stay as he is to see us at the end! Can’t recommend enough.”
“Stan was a wonderful caregiver to our dog, Harley. He made us feel comfortable by asking a lot of questions about the care and feeding of him. He sent a photo and an update each day. His home was well set up for dogs and it was a very chill place for Harley to relax. We would absolutely have Stan watch our dog again!”
“Julie, Jesse, and their family took such great care of my Pepper! It was my first time boarding him but he was in such great hands. I got lots of communication/updates, photos, and clarifying questions when things arose. Pepper got top notch treatment!”
“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.”
