“Our dog, Gus, has stayed with Doc now on two occasions, one shorter stay and one 10 day stint. Both were phenomenal! We enjoyed getting the picture updates on Gus each day, and were able to enjoy our vacation much more knowing he was well taken care of.”
“Alexis took Henry on short notice due to a personal emergency and immediately made him a member of her family. She regularly sent pictures showing him cuddled up and walking, and updates that eased my mind as I was trapped thousands of miles away by weather. She was flexible as I struggled with getting home, and just, generally, wonderful. Henry is reactive but she knew how to make him relax. So grateful.”
“This is Mochi's second time staying with Lan. Mochi was so happy to see her again! Mochi and Lan's pup Lucy also get along well - so we know that Mochi is having a great time while we're gone. Thank you, Lan!”
“Betsy is the only person we board our fussy Boston with. He gets tons of walks, snuggles, and treats. He’s treated as if it’s his home, too. She is very communicative, keeping us updated daily. Highly recommend!”

“Amanda and Leif are absolutely amazing!!!! They responded to us so quickly to doggy-sit our Rott/Shepherd mix (Bear) while we went on a family vacation. They asked all the appropriate questions and it was very clear they wanted to make Bear feel at home while we were away. They were responsive, flexible, communicative, and so friendly!! We got several picture updates while on our trip and it made us feel so comfortable with being away. Bear looked so comfortable and happy in the pictures. He was taken on so many walks and played with… We could tell he was shown so much love! When we picked him up, he was still giving love to Amanda! And she was soooo great in the information she shared with us and it reassured us that they all had a great time together. We are so thankful as this is our first Rover experience with Bear. Because of how awesome Amanda and Leif were, we are totally going to be back! If you’re thinking of booking your pup to be with them, absolutely do!!”
“5 stars for Jessica and her husband! They took such great care of my dog, Frankie. She was very communicative and provided lots of updates and pictures. Jessica was even sweet enough to come to pick Frankie up to save me time as I got ready for my trip. Frankie got plenty of walks and snuggles and was in great hands while I was away. We will definitely be using them again for future care!”
“Good communication and friendly. Our dog was happy and well-cared for. He also spent time with two kids in the house, and they were very respectful of him; playing and loving on him.”
“Barbara took great care of our dog while we were away for a week! Even helped him get through some digestive issues and provided regular updates throughout his stay. We will happily send Louis over again!”
“Brenda and her family were great hosts! Really nice to work with with two super sweet and well-behaved dogs of their own. My dog has become little shy recently around other dogs but I felt like she was in great hands while I was gone.”
“Nicole and David (and the rest of their family) were absolutely amazing! They were able to take care of our Coop on super short notice and were super flexible and communicative! Cooper came back so happy and tired from all the love and playing and we can’t wait to have him go back! Thanks so much!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”

“Jennifer has the magic touch with Miss Greycie my kitty! Greycie absolutely LOVED Jennifer! Jennifer is super considerate (bringing in deliveries), checking and executing all items related to my kitty AND leaving daily notes and pictures in Rover re: food, water, playtime, litterbox maintenance and grooming. We absolutely without a moment's doubt will ask Jennifer again to care for Miss Greycie😻”
“Beth was great! She was a great communicator and was awesome with my cats. She even got my very shy girl to come out and to accept pets! Will definitely use Beth again!”
“Jayda was absolutely amazing as a cat sitter for my two cats, Leo and Orion. She engaged with both of them, playing with them and keeping them entertained during her visits. The photos she sent were absolutely adorable and a great reassurance that my cats were happy and well cared for. Jayda was very consistent with her visit schedule, which I really appreciated, and she followed the care instructions I provided to the letter. It was clear that Leo and Orion were not only well taken care of but also loved having her around. They've made a new friend, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. I highly recommend Jayda and will definitely be booking her services again in the future!”
“Lisa was great! I’ve never used Rover before so this was the perfect first time experience. She communicated whenever she could, and was cautious and patient with my nervous kitty. Everything was beyond expected!”
“Samantha took care of my cat Maple again while I was on vacation and she once again provided exceptional care. I really appreciated her thoughtful and detailed summaries of her visits as well as all of the pictures. I also left a lot of specific details to follow regarding Maple’s care and really appreciated how Samantha adhered to them all. I was at ease once again during my vacation knowing that Maple was in good hands!”
“Elizabeth was excellent with our cat! She was great at updating us and posting lots of pictures. We knew that our pet was in good hands while we were gone. I highly recommend using her as a pet sitter!”
“Abigail was wonderful with my boys, and very communicative each time she dropped in to care for them. It was a holiday week so I was very happy to have gotten her booked.”
“I highly recommend Meredith. She took great care of my two cats, one of which is blind and requires daily medication. She quickly made both cats comfortable and happy to greet her at the door. Communication was excellent.”
About: We have always had cats in our family, so I have been caring for them and getting to know all their lovable quirks since I was little. I have also cared for countless neighbors’ and friends’ kitties, many with special dietary & medical needs. I also have over 5 years experience volunteering in an animal shelter and working specifically with the kitties there. I have a beautiful baby calico at home named Claire, who lives with my partner’s majestic orange goon, Peanut. :)
“Amy was amazing with our kitties--very communicative and sent wonderful photos (which we so appreciated!). This was my first time using Rover and I was so happy with it. I would definitely hire Amy again in a heartbeat and am grateful she was willing to help on such short notice!”
About: Over the course of my life, I have taken care of two cats and one dog. These experiences have taught me to be responsible and attentive towards all animals in my care. I am also an excellent communicator!
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've grown up with them, shared my home with them, and have developed a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. From playful kittens to wise senior cats, I've experienced the joys and responsibilities of cat care firsthand. My current feline companions are 3 cats, and they bring so much joy to my life.
About: I have had my cat Meows for 10 years and my cat Precious for 5. I love both of the to bits and miss them every day while I am at college. Our care for them has been fairly easy because they are very healthy cats, so I’ve never experienced caring for cats with extreme needs. That being said i definitely know how to clean a litter box, feed dry or soft food, play, and give lots of love!
“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”
About: I’ve been around cats quite a bit throughout my life and I’ve always loved them. I do get sad when they don’t want to say hi, but I know when to stay away. I have no problem giving mixes, including giving injections. I am familiar with pet CPR, and though I’ve never had to use those skills, I take comfort in having that knowledge. I’m excited to take care of your fur babies!

“Aimee was great. Patient with our buddy when he was nervous and her yard/house were a good fit for our pup. Good communication. We will reach out to her for daycare again!!”
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life. In fact, when I was little, I used to tell my mom I wanted to be a dog when I grew up! 😂 My passion for dogs led me to begin fostering in 2019, and since then I've helped around 40 dogs find their forever homes. I've worked with dogs from all kinds of backgrounds, though many of my fosters have been puppy mill survivors who needed extra patience, understanding, and support as they adjusted to life in a home. I've fostered with several wonderful rescue organizations, including Underdog Rescue, MidAmerica Boston Terrier Rescue, Minneapolis Animal Control, and Coco's Heart. Through fostering, I've gained experience with dogs of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I've also fostered blind and deaf dogs. I have experience administering oral medications, eye drops and topicals. Since losing my job in February, I've decided to focus on Rover full-time. The upside for your dog is that I'm home most of the day and can provide plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention. I live in a first-floor duplex in South Minneapolis with a fully fenced yard. I share my home with two friendly dogs: a senior blind Boston Terrier and a playful 3-year-old who loves having the right playmate. Because we've welcomed so many foster dogs into our home over the years, both of my dogs are comfortable meeting new canine friends and are adaptable to different personalities and energy levels. My younger dog is a swimmer, so during the summer we love visiting the dog park at Minnehaha Falls. If your dog enjoys adventures, has reliable recall, and you'd be comfortable with it, I'd be happy to bring them along! I want visiting dogs to feel as comfortable as possible, so I try to maintain the routines they're used to at home. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, and I'm flexible when it comes to crating, sleeping arrangements, and daily routines. If your dog normally sleeps in bed with their people, they're welcome to sleep with me too. While I do take my dogs on walks several times a week, daily walks are not part of our regular routine. If your dog requires daily walks, please let me know at the time of booking so we can discuss their needs and make sure we're a good fit. I provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and having a great time. A few things to know before booking: • While I am home most of the time, there are occasional events or commitments that may keep me away for 4+ hours. I will do my best to communicate this ahead of time, but please let me know if your dog cannot be left alone for that length of time so I can confirm my schedule before accepting a booking. To ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone, my home is generally the best fit for dogs who are: • Comfortable in a relatively calm household. Very high-energy dogs can be stressful for my senior dog, who is blind. • Reasonably quiet when left alone. Normal barking at delivery drivers or unfamiliar noises is completely fine. However, because I live in a duplex with shared walls, I am unable to host dogs who bark continuously when alone or throughout the night. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and I'm always happy to answer questions to help determine if we're the right fit for each other.

“McKenzie is the best thing that’s ever happened for my reactive pup. He is able to go play with other dogs and flourish in her care. She is also skilled with medically needy pups and flexible with her scheduling. The absolute best.”
“Stephanie did a great job with my little Zena. She sent me a picture and updates on my baby to assure me how much fun Zena was having. It's hard for me to find a place or a sitter with a dog the size of Zena (5 lbs) and Stephanie made it so easy for me to book her because she had the perfect dogs and space. I'd book with Stephanie again!”
About: I've cared for over 15 different dog breeds since I was 10 years old, from high energy hunting dogs to cozy lap snugglers. Friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets for years. With 8 years in animal welfare, I understand behavior and emotions, including noise fears, nervousness with new people, leash reactivity, shy/timid, resource guarding, seniors, puppies, and special needs pets. I also care for cats of all personalities independent explorers, playful toy lovers, and devoted snugglers. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, stress free home where they feel truly cared for while you're away. Each dog in my care receives personalized attention and love. For daycare and boarding, I limit to two dogs at a time to ensure quality care while they are in a new environment. When house sitting in your home, I can happily care for up to four dogs, keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. I’m happy to provide photo updates, and our home is fully prepared for play, rest, and supervision. I’m home during the day, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, and enrichment. Every pet in my care enjoys a healthy balance of play, mental stimulation, walks, and quiet time to rest and recharge. Evenings are cozy and relaxed, filled with gentle supervision and snuggles, so pets feel safe, happy, and loved from morning to night. I have a fully fenced yard with secure gate locks to keep pets safe, and I’m happy to make adjustments using leads or harnesses for curious or adventurous pups. I also maintain an up-to-date list of urgent care and emergency veterinary clinics throughout the metro area for added peace of mind. Potential clients are always welcome to schedule a video home tour to see the setup and environment their pet would be in. My home allows for kenneling if needed, and I can provide large and extra large crates. I also offer separate spaces for feeding time and am located near several nearby parks for walks. For cats, I can provide a quiet, separate space if they need time to decompress. In addition to care in my home, I also offer house sitting so pets can remain comfortable in their own environment and routines. I’m located about 15 minutes from MSP Airport, which many traveling pet parents find convenient for drop-off and pick-up. Street parking is available in the area, and rideshares to the airport are typically around $20.
“Lydia has been watching my pup for several weeks now, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter! You can tell she really cares about all of the dogs she watches. She's a fantastic communicator and is flexible with schedules. I highly recommend her!”
“Michelle was very accommodating with the last minute booking. She gave some helpful pointers and recommendations as Titan is young, energetic and still getting adjusted to being around new dogs. She took great care of Titan and I would certainly book with her again!”
“We met Takenya for doggie daycare, and our dog had a wonderful day! Takenya LOVES dogs and it shows. Remy immediately took to her and the several photos and videos she sent showed how comfortable he was in her home and with her. He came home happy and tired🥳 Thank you, Takenya for caring so deeply and communicating so well!”
“River is wonderful!!! She helped us out last minute and we are so grateful!! Our dog seems to love going to her house and play with her dog, Luther, and any other dogs she might be caring for! Thank you thank you thank you!!!”
“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.”
“Absolutely incredible experience. Celia was easy to communicate with and sent me pics of my pup throughout the day. I would love to book again - highly recommmend”
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.
“Jen is an A+ dog sitter with clear knowledge of canine behavior and psychology..This, in addition to creating an enjoyable and interactive play experience for the pups she hosts on a regular basis. She knows how to group together dogs with similar play patterns and personality traits. She considers size and vulnerabilities. I trust her wholeheartedly to watch my beloved best friend! She really saved us when I was struggling with my new adoptee! I now have a well adjusted happy girl after socializing her a couple times a week in Jen’s care! She’s the best!”

“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!”
“Lisa is awesome! Communicates so well and we felt so confident while we were gone that our dogs were well-cared for the whole time. She navigated our other instructions so well too. Our one dog is a recently adopted rescue, yet loved her and she understood him and was cool with him, we are so relieved, impressed and thankful!”
“Analia did an excellent job with my dog. She was a great communicator, punctual, and attentive. Kiki loved walking with her and her dog. Thank you! Highly recommend!”
About: I've taken care of cats for most of my life and volunteered at an animal shelter for a few years. I've taken care of two cats up into their old ages of 16 years and 19 years old each, both living healthy, happy, comfortable lives indoors. They were shorthaired cats, named Morris and Edward. Morris was a wild rez cat, he was very silly, small, buff black cat who grew just a little bit fat in his old age, and since he was young he's had a slightly shorter, stubbed tip tail and a frostbitten ear. Edward was a rescued wild barncat from the farmlands outside of Wrenshall, a big, lean, and smart gray cat. They both lived very happily together under my care and the care of my parents and grandparents for their entire lives. I have two cats, the oldest is 5 years old, her name is Charwee, and the youngest is 2 years old, his name is Riggsatoni. They are both longhaired cats, with Charwee being a near-black tortoiseshell with a golden ruff, left foot, and a series of golden freckles across her face like a galaxy, finishing with a "shooting star" out of her left ear. Riggs is an dusty orange and white mask-and-mantle, taller than his new friend, Charwee, but with just as much fur and sweetness as she has. He's still getting the hang of being part of our household, as he's been with me since November 2025. I've also managed to train my 5 year old cat a variety of tricks and help behaviors, such as: She reminds me to take my medications if I've not gotten to it yet. She can also do two variations of a "stand" trick, complete the "spin" trick in both directions, and understands her "left" and "right" sides after training her the "touch" and "high five" tricks, meaning you can ask her for a "left paw touch" and she'll give you one. She is also trained to walk on harness. I am in process of training my youngest 2 year old cat to get him used to his harness, and even considering training him with tricks as well, but I am also giving him time to get used to his new home with my boyfriend and I. I have lived with both shorthair and longhair cats, and I've managed to trim claws with little issue for most cats; granted, some cats are obviously not always going to be comfortable with claw trims, and therefore, in my experience, it has been better for their mental state to only do one claw every five to thirty minutes, and reassure them that they're okay with giving them pets, play, and treats, or even their personal space if they desire instead, with gentle speak to remind them they still need their "spaw" day, because no one wants their nails embedded into their pads. For very short times over the course of my 26 years, I have also taken care of dogs every now and again, and even managed to train them how to handle claw trims or do some tricks. I once even had a pair of two mixed shepherd pups, picked up from my reservation, and managed to train them to follow off-leash, accept claw trims, wear harnesses, do a few tricks, and even accept baths in the short time that I was taking care of them. I'm flexible as I'm currently unemployed and job-hunting. I'm often awake at 7am but I don't become more active until 8am, and from then I'm available until 9pm. I'm usually observing body language, often consciously listening to vocal cues, and being mindful while learning about other's pet's behaviors and preferences, paying attention to any possible wants or needs via observing body languages; a few examples I can provide is when my cats point their bodies towards their bowls and indicate to me that something isn't full enough and needs more food or water, or when they indicate they want to play with me and not the other cat, or when they use their paws to touch things that have something they want inside of them, like a bag of treats or a drawer that contains the treats.
About: Hi, I’m Caitlyn, you can also call me Wren! I have experience caring for several family dogs, one of which was a senior and had lots of mobility issues and pain, so I got comfortable helping her get around safely and giving her medicine. I have also watched many dogs of various sizes & needs for neighbors and friends. I love taking dogs on walks (if they are able), and am happy to match whatever their energy level is! I have a flexible schedule, working just part time and attending one college course, so I have plenty of availability to spend time with your fur babies! I understand the level of trust placed in me when going into other peoples’ homes to care for their pets, so I am conscious to always leave the space as I found it and go over with clients the spaces and items I should and should not interact with. I am happy to provide extra services like grabbing mail & watering plants if you would like, just let me know!
“Caroline was a great dog sitter! She was extremely detailed, thorough, sweet with Ruby, and a great communicator. Would love her to take care of Ruby again!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and I've got two cats and a doggo of my own. I'll treat your pup like their part of my pack. I'm working from home on Mondays and in the office on Tuesday and Wednesday. I can come home over lunch if boarding during the week. I have a fenced in yard and a great neighborhood for taking walks. I can provide a separate room for pets, as well as a crate, if needed.
“We hired Eleni to walk our dog, Bowser, while we were out of town and the friend watching him at night worked all day. When we discovered an 8 week old puppy under a car days before our trip, we scrambled on what to do. Eleni was more than happy to add her to the booking and spend extra time with her after the daily walks. The photos and updates were great, and we will definitely hire Eleni again in the future!”
About: I have always had dogs in my life and became the extended family pet-sitter in my early teen years. My care ranges from puppies to senior dogs. I am not a certified trainer but I follow any rules, skills or tricks your dog has developed or is working on. I have had 8 dogs in my lifetime. My oldest dog lived to be 15.5 years old. I've cared for dogs with medical needs - kidney disease, seizures, hip dysplasia, depression and anxiety. I have administered medication in all forms. I work remotely from home on a flexible schedule. My availability is not restricted. I am available at all times during the day and night for bathroom breaks, walks or any other care that is needed. At my home, I have a 6-foot privacy fence. Your dog will be safe in my space. Besides being able to roam in the backyard, I enjoy any type of walk - snifari, gentle stroll, get the heart rate going or a pee and poo mission. Rain, snow or full sun - I am willing to get moving. Furniture is available for lounging plus multiple dog beds throughout the house. A dog-bed right next to my desk at home, absolutely! If your dog is crate trained, I have a quiet space for set up. In your home, I will abide my your rules and schedule. In my home, I have two cats. Your dog must get along with cats.
About: Over the course of my life, I have taken care of two cats and one dog. I am a responsible and attentive towards all animals in my care, and strive to make them as comfortable as possible. I am also an excellent communicator! I am currently working part time, so I have availability weekday afternoons/evenings! I am also flexible about doing work on weekend. I am excited to work with you :) I can only pet-sit in other homes, my home is not a suitable place for a pet to stay. I am excellent at communicating and following directions, so when I stay with your pet they will be well-loved and comfortable.
About: I’ve had different breeds of both cats and dogs throughout my entire childhood so I understand the responsibilities needed to properly take care of a variety of pets. My parents have also been on Rover for a couple of years and I alway love helping them out! This also means I understand the apps processes and how to navigate it. I’m a college student at Macalester college, so right now I’m on summer break. I am flexible with owners schedules and willing to driving all around the metro for visits or at home stays! I can do whatever the owner feels is necessary for their pet. Whether it’s putting pets into crates, or active play, or if meals need to be more hands on, I feel comfortable caring for them in pretty much any situation. I don’t have much experience caring for dogs with special needs, so some animals who need that type of assistance might be out of the realm of care I can provide.
“I knew from the moment I met her that Johanna had an excellent understanding of dog behavior. We hired her to walk our puppy, Edgar several times a week. He is a boisterous 120lb Leonberger puppy whose size and energy have been difficult for less experienced sitters. On meeting Edgar, Johanna immediately and calmly redirected our puppy into appropriate behavior and rewarded it. She is professional, punctual and an excellent communicator. Edgar not only loves her, he respects her. After 6 walks, my husband and I decided to hire Johanna for regular weekly walks - even though we weren’t planning to - because when you find someone this good, you find ways to support them and maintain a relationship. If you are looking for someone who is calm, knowledgeable, and respectful of you and your dog, we highly recommend Johanna.”
About: (Rover requires legal names, but please call me Rowan!) I’ve been around dogs constantly since birth. There have only been a few years of my life without any dogs in the house! I work at a dog daycare full time over the summer, so I'm accustomed to both puppies and seniors of all sizes. Over the summers I work full time at Dog Days in St. Paul, and I’m a student at St. Olaf over the school year. My work schedule isn’t the most predictable, but I’m generally available mornings and evenings after 6:30. Dogs are basically furry children. They can’t communicate directly, so they resort to barking, growling, or even biting. I’m experienced in figuring out why a dog is acting out and calming them down before things get out of hand. What looks like “being annoying” is usually boredom, need for water, or anxiety!
“Our dog Ollie loves Amy! She is flexible in her schedule and always lets us know what's happening during her walks with Ollie. He loves to go either super slow or super fast (especially when geared up for cold weather) and she always keeps up. She also takes great pics!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs (large and small) and have cats of my own. I also have experience caring for rodents, fish, and plants. I love animals, and as a pet owner myself, I do my best to communicate with owners so i can give them the peace of mind that their pets and home are well cared for while they’re away. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to almost every request, making it even easier to ensure that your pets are getting the care you prefer and they deserve. Booking a house sitting with me means I will be at your home with your pet the entire time, unless otherwise specified/requested by you. Since I don’t board in my home, there’s no need to worry about the safety level of a new environment. Any instructions will be carefully followed, and your fur baby will be safe and comfy in their home environment.

“Our dog, Gus, has stayed with Doc now on two occasions, one shorter stay and one 10 day stint. Both were phenomenal! We enjoyed getting the picture updates on Gus each day, and were able to enjoy our vacation much more knowing he was well taken care of.”

“Amanda and Leif are absolutely amazing!!!! They responded to us so quickly to doggy-sit our Rott/Shepherd mix (Bear) while we went on a family vacation. They asked all the appropriate questions and it was very clear they wanted to make Bear feel at home while we were away. They were responsive, flexible, communicative, and so friendly!! We got several picture updates while on our trip and it made us feel so comfortable with being away. Bear looked so comfortable and happy in the pictures. He was taken on so many walks and played with… We could tell he was shown so much love! When we picked him up, he was still giving love to Amanda! And she was soooo great in the information she shared with us and it reassured us that they all had a great time together. We are so thankful as this is our first Rover experience with Bear. Because of how awesome Amanda and Leif were, we are totally going to be back! If you’re thinking of booking your pup to be with them, absolutely do!!”
“5 stars for Jessica and her husband! They took such great care of my dog, Frankie. She was very communicative and provided lots of updates and pictures. Jessica was even sweet enough to come to pick Frankie up to save me time as I got ready for my trip. Frankie got plenty of walks and snuggles and was in great hands while I was away. We will definitely be using them again for future care!”
“Brenda and her family were great hosts! Really nice to work with with two super sweet and well-behaved dogs of their own. My dog has become little shy recently around other dogs but I felt like she was in great hands while I was gone.”
“Nicole and David (and the rest of their family) were absolutely amazing! They were able to take care of our Coop on super short notice and were super flexible and communicative! Cooper came back so happy and tired from all the love and playing and we can’t wait to have him go back! Thanks so much!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Our dog Ruby is a sensitive creature and can take a while to warm to new people, but from the photos sent by Julia during our vacation showed Ruby relaxing or on a walk with their dog. She seemed to feel loved! Thank you Julia and Dan!”
“Catherine was excellent with our dog Misiu! She was incredibly attentive, and sent lots of photos and videos throughout our vacation. She allowed him to snuggle with her in bed, which he’s used to. That was very much appreciated. We will definitely rebook with Catherine. Misiu was a happy boy the entire time, we weren’t missed 😆”
“Katie did an awesome job taking care of Copper! She did a great job sending updates that included pics and videos. Could tell that he had a great time with her! Would highly recommend.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Lydia. Our two pups felt so safe and loved in her home and made so many new pup friends. Lydia sent great photos and updates each day to help us stay in touch.They can’t wait to go back! ❤️”
“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Ashley is Incredible! Ashley watched our French Bulldog, Blue Bell, for 5 days, and she was absolutely wonderful! Frenchies definitely come with their own unique quirks and big personalities, but Ashley didn't skip a beat. She completely embraced Blue Bell's quirkiness and made sure she felt comfortable, happy, and loved the entire time. It is such a relief to find a sitter who truly understands and appreciates your dog's individual personality. Ashley is a genuine dog lover—reliable, attentive, and is very knowledgeable about different types of dogs. We will absolutely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care!”
“This is the first time using Rover and I am so happy to find River! She is very kind and treated my beagles as her own. I know they were very well taken care of and she sent me pictures, video and updates while their stay and I’m very happy and relieved. Thank you for everything and I’ll recommend her if you are looking for a nice dog sitter who loves dogs!”
“For our first experience with boarding, LaKenya was a great place for my dog to stay. She was very professional and kind. We had an arrangement that I would pick my dog up a few times during our trip to St. Paul and she was very accommodating. The best thing was that with each drop off Sora was happy to be back with LaKenya! That's a good sign in my book. I would highly recommend her to anyone. There's no doubt in my mind that I will use her services again when we are in town.”
“Goldie was very well cared for! She settled right and and became one of the family! We will definitely book with Robert again. Thank you for taking such great care of Goldie!”
“Deborah did a great job. She sent pictures of cookie having fun. She was relaxed and happy when I got back. Its such a relief to leave my baby with some one that treats her like at home.”
