“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Catherine is amazing! She was super responsive & flexible with a last minute change in schedule, administered antibiotics while we were away, and we feel totally comfortable leaving our pup in her 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.”
“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!”
“Betsy was wonderful. Very accommodating, easy to communicate with, took great care of my dog, and went above and beyond to help with his training while he was staying with her.”
“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.”
“Mckenzie was absolutely wonderful! We went away for a long weekend, and our dude had a BLAST! He doesn’t always get the chance to be around other pups, so knowing that he had friends to play with the whole time really made it easier to be away. So thankful we’ve found someone like Mckenzie - and hope we get to bring Niko there again!”
“Robert did a great job with my geriatric dog. He got her to go for a longer walk than we've been able to lately, and was patient with her enough to accomplish that. He also sent lots of great pictures of how she was doing. Thank you for the great care!”
“Ashley was incredible. Our puppy is a little high maintenance around other dogs and also has a very hard time being left alone. Ashley accommodated those needs readily and cheerfully. We were a little nervous leaving our puppy for such a long time but Ashley's confidence and frequent updates put our minds at ease instantly. She clearly knows a lot about dog personalties and training techniques and even sent a picture of her partner snuggling on the ground with our pup! Ashley was very responsive and and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog was in good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“Thank you, Nicole & David! We know are dog is in the best hands with you two. I apologize for being late to the pick-up and appreciate your grace. Thank you so much!”
“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!!”
“Susie and Matt provided the best care for our anxious Amy! We appreciate their expertise, confidence, and care. They made our time apart feel less worrisome by sending pics showing us how things were going. We absolutely plan to work with them again!”
“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!!”
About: I've always loved being around dogs and have experience caring for them through dog sitting and daily walks. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine, so I take the time to make each pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's going for walks, providing playtime, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I'm patient, dependable, and committed to making sure your pet gets the care, exercise, and companionship they need. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and providing a fun, safe, and stress-free experience! Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work full-time and attend school part-time. I have flexibility to provide dependable care during evenings and on weekends. I'm looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy—spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a walk after work, evening companionship, or weekend care while you're away, I'm committed to providing reliable, loving, and attentive care. I'll make sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve, while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands. I live in an apartment, so I don't have a fenced yard, but I make sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention through regular walks and outdoor time. My apartment community has a nearby dog park where dogs can play and burn off energy, with your permission. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and making sure they stay active, happy, and engaged. Inside my home, pets will have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where they'll receive lots of love, attention, and companionship. I follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide, so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you're away.
“Gabrielle and Tommie took wonderful care of our dog over a long weekend! Gabrielle is very quick to respond to messages and sent us several photos of Marty during his stay. He was clearly having a wonderful time and they even filled up a kiddie pool for him to play in on a hot day! We would love for our dog to stay with them again in the future!”
“Teddy’s stay with Nichole and Jacob was his first overnight since he was adopted. They sent plenty of photos and loved him like he was their own. I will definitely use them again and may even be setting up play dates with Teddy’s new friend Koda (their dog).”
“Erin is an incredible pet sitter! Buddy can be needy and anxious yet each time he stays with her he quickly becomes comfortable. She went above and beyond when she had Buddy post-surgery and he wasn’t feeling well. She sends multiple updates and pictures to keep us informed and ease our mind about how Buddy is doing. Would highly recommend Erin!”

“Being new to the area we were in search of care for our two male cats while we went on vacation. We had Beth care for our two male cats over the fourth of july holiday. She bonded with them immediately. We were grateful that she was available on a holiday weekend since a few other sitters we contacted were not. She sent updates each day. We would not hesitate to hire her again.”

I felt totally at ease knowing everything was taken care of—definitely recommend her and will be using again for future cat sitting needs :).”
“Sam is great!! When she came over for the meet and greet, it took about 10-seconds for her to win over Beau. She is responsive, thorough, friendly, and clearly loves animals. We have already booked her for another five days over New Year's!”
“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!”

“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!”
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.
“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.”
About: I grew up with dogs and they are truly my heart and soul. We currently have 2 dogs 2 cats, (although one dog is a part time since they follow shared custody with the teens). We would absolutely love to take in your dog. We both work from home so they would get plenty of loving and attention! I work from home full time, along with my partner who also works from home; so honestly I'm very open. Our own dogs generally are taken out about every 3 hours regardless if they go potty or not. The animals have free range of the house (minus our bed) 😊 I do have a yard, although its not fenced, we have a track or a ground post if your worried about them running away while being outside. We also love to take walks. If they stay close and listen well, I generally stay outside with them. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Deanna is so welcoming to both me and my pet! I have been delighted with her care and communication. It makes all the difference in the world to leave my pet with a kind, caring, fun person and home and that's Deanna! My dog, Foxy, runs right up to her and comes back with a smile and signs of a fun day! Thanks, Deanna!!”
“Stasia is honestly the best. I can’t sing her praises enough. My dog loves her. Stasia is great at personalized care for our dog and has outdoor space for her to play in too!”
“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.”
About: Lifelong animal lover and pet owner. Now that I’m retired, it’s time to turn my passion into a service for other pet owners. Your dog deserves a wonderful boarding experience. 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. I have the time and desire to provide excellent care for your dog. Fluffy will receive lots of attention and affection. Your dog will be in a safe and quiet home environment. Access to small grass yard (no pesticides) under my supervision. Special care requests, feeding schedules, etc. can be accommodated. I have been caring for animals (pets) my entire life. Their wellbeing has always been a priority for me.
“Alyson is wonderful! Our pup stayed with her while we were visiting town and I'm so so glad we found her. Alyson was super responsive and easy to communicate with and really flexible. Plus my pup was zonked out after we picked him up, so he must have played a lot and had a great time.”
About: I have experience working with various dog (and cat) breeds since my childhood through adulthood. I have experience pet sitting, fostering and raising/training dogs. I am experienced giving medications and taking care of fur babies with special needs or requests. I love taking bigger, more energetic dogs for runs, playing fetch, and getting their energy out through active play times. I also love smaller, older or less active dogs, I have an 12 year old puggle, Fritzie, who I have had since he was a puppy, playing tug, going for walks and short play times is all in our daily routine. I would be happy to spend time with your furry companion giving them lots of love, attention and meetings all of their needs! I am currently back to work. I work 8am-4pm Monday-Friday, therefore, your pup would need to be comfortable relaxing at home during the day on the week days and have open availability on the weekends for all the play, adventures and snuggles. I am available to stay at your place to maintain your pups regular routine as much as possible. Due to recently relocating I am unable to board pets at my current home, but at looking forward to being able to do so very soon! I am available to come to your home for in home boarding, doggie daycare or daily exercise. I am an outdoor enthusiast who loves having a four legged running partner, exploring near by dog parks or strolling around the neighborhood on a daily walk and playtime. I love sharing the daily moments and bonding with your pet as well as sharing pictures of them with you while you are away.
“Sunshine took wonderful care of our puppy! She was great at communicating and thoughtful. We loved her beautiful home. Archie came home very happy and tired out because he had a great day. We will definitely book with Sunshine again.”

About: i have one dog and two cats of my own, and i have provided pet care for friends, neighbors, and referrals for many years! i am comfortable with any size of dog, and have a lot of experience with newer rescue animals in particular! i am available for drop ins during the week, with the most flexibility on thursdays and fridays. i have the most availability for drop ins and pet sitting on the weekends. i will ensure that your pets feel comfortable and cared for! i know how nerve wracking it can feel for someone new to watch after your pets, which is why i believe open and timely communication is so important.
About: I got my first dog (Winston) when he was a puppy and have been through it all with him, including puppy training! Although he’s older now, Winston is still full of energy and super playful, so I do well with active and energetic dogs. When he does have his calmer moments, I’m always there for a short walk with lots of stops to lay in the grass! Additionally, I’ve worked with senior dogs in the past. I have experience administering daily oral medication and going for walks with dogs that have mobility issues, such as arthritis and weak knees. I love to go on daily walks, often in the late afternoon or early mornings, and always enjoy the company of a furry friend! On the weekends I am available throughout the whole day for walks and playtime. I have years of experience walking my own dog in a city environment and am always focused on my surroundings, from cars to food on the sidewalk, to ensure his safety and enjoyment. Additionally, I have a lot of experience working with dogs that have anxiety. Winston is very sensitive to certain noises, such as the shuffling of playing cards, so I always make sure to avoid using cards around him. When entering a client’s home, I always make sure to treat the space exactly how I would want my space to be treated; with care and respect.
About: No matter the size, breed or personality of your pet, earning their trust and friendship (along with your own trust) is my top priority. I grew up in a multi-pet household taking care of dogs, birds and small animals. Since then, I have taken care of horses, anoles, cats, parakeets and my curiosity for getting to know an animal's individual personality has only grown over that time. I currently have two dogs: an Australian shepherd and border collie mix, both of whom I raised from puppies by myself. We are an active family, walking/hiking and in general spending time exploring the neighborhood for hours a day, traveling together for camping or cabin vacations in our free time. It's cliche, but my dogs are truly my family and as a long-time Rover user on the customer side, I understand what it means to have a sitter/walker you can trust while you're away. I love finding people who strive to understand them as individuals and who are sensitive to their needs. My border collie is highly sensitive and I have learned to work within his limits, giving him the stimulation he needs by finding more isolated parks to sniff around, mental challenges inside, etc. that keep him entertained while reducing stress. I am more than comfortable getting to know your own pets' quirks and finding ways to keep their days consistent and stress-free. Pet care is already at the center of my life, as I have two energetic herding dogs. We walk frequently every day to help burn energy -- I like to let my dogs walk at their pace so they can sniff around and stimulate their brains while getting exercise. As someone with pets I understand the importance of trust-building in drop-in visit situations. As your schedule permits, we can meet beforehand via a meet and greet to get a feel for your schedule and space, and how to support your comfort and your pets'. Pets thrive with routine, and I strive to support that.
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: 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: I am a current cat mom and grew up with an outrageous amount of animals ( at one time we had 4 cats and 2 dogs) and truly made me appreciate all animals. I watched some dogs throughout college and have pet sit for my sister on multiple occasions- i work from home 3 days a week and work super close to home so i would be able to get around quickly if needed. i love walks and usually walk for about an hour to hour and half after work and would love to be able to bring a doggy with me i work full time however only in office 2 days a week - i like to have outside time perfect for dogs to join me especially when it is nice out however a little rain never hurts. i work pretty close to where i live which means being around to take care of any animals is very easy. the weekends are pretty free usually and would love to be able to bring a pup for any adventures to burn some energy or have a cat to hang out with and kill time with some cuddles and possible treats and playing with toys currently having one cat it is pretty easy, she has way too many toys for one cat and has an automatic litter box and food bowl to make it easy sine she likes to wake up at 4am however i make sure she gets a great amount of attention with having play time every night, some other cats or dogs may not be into everything so i like to hang out and see what animals are like before doing new things so i dont stress them out and get them to like me first and be on common ground before starting any negotiations with them about walks or treats or pets
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: 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.
About: I have grown up around pets all of my life, having had multiple dogs and cats throughout. As a teenager, I would be trusted by neighbors to sit multiple pets at a time while they went on vacation. More than that, I am familiar with senior pet care and administering oral medicine. I am currently working part-time so I am available and ready to handle pet care most days of the week, including weekends. More, I am able to do early morning and late night care. I can create a safe environment for your pet by finding their comfort and acknowledging what they need within the home. Likewise, on walks, I am able to handle large dogs and other animal contact, making sure your pet stays safe in my care.
“Sophie has been walking our dog twice a week for the last few weeks and it’s been awesome! Sophie is always on time, is a strong communicator about what happened on the walks, and most importantly takes really good care of our dog. Our dog loves her and that makes me so happy. Thank you Sophie!”
“Johanna was a lifesaver for us over the past two weeks! She was communicative, reliable, and so very sweet with our pup when taking her for daily walks. We’ll certainly be booking her again.”
“Annie is fantastic! Our dog gets really excited when she sees Annie come to take her on a walk. Annie is a great communicator with us too. I highly recommend her to walk your furry loved one.”
“Tony was super friendly, had great communication and was awesome with our girls on their walks. Wrigley and Griffey were stoked when Tony came for their evening walks. My in-laws and my husband and I have nothing but great things to say about him! We will be using him again! Highly recommend!”
“Allison responded so quickly the night before I needed last minute help with Luna during a long work day. We loved seeing all of the photos of their walks. Thanks so much!!”
About: As long as I can remember, I've absolutely adored playing with and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Having had a dog since I was ten years old, I've had many years of personal experience caring for them, including but not limited to responsibilities such as feeding, walking, bathing, and distributing medication to them. As a full-time graduate student, I'll largely be available in the early mornings and late afternoons, as well as evenings, to care for your pets during the week. On weekends, I can be very flexible with timing based on your needs. Since your pets are a part of your family, I know just how important it is to have them feel safe, secure, and loved. I will give them the attention they need and ensure that they feel just as comfortable and taken care of as they do when you're around.
“Molly was such a joy to work with and went above and beyond to give our dog a much needed break and extra attention in the middle of the day. We will use her again in a heartbeat!”

“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.”
“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.”
“Catherine is amazing! She was super responsive & flexible with a last minute change in schedule, administered antibiotics while we were away, and we feel totally comfortable leaving our pup in her 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.”
“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.”
“Mckenzie was absolutely wonderful! We went away for a long weekend, and our dude had a BLAST! He doesn’t always get the chance to be around other pups, so knowing that he had friends to play with the whole time really made it easier to be away. So thankful we’ve found someone like Mckenzie - and hope we get to bring Niko there again!”
“Robert did a great job with my geriatric dog. He got her to go for a longer walk than we've been able to lately, and was patient with her enough to accomplish that. He also sent lots of great pictures of how she was doing. Thank you for the great care!”
“Ashley was incredible. Our puppy is a little high maintenance around other dogs and also has a very hard time being left alone. Ashley accommodated those needs readily and cheerfully. We were a little nervous leaving our puppy for such a long time but Ashley's confidence and frequent updates put our minds at ease instantly. She clearly knows a lot about dog personalties and training techniques and even sent a picture of her partner snuggling on the ground with our pup! Ashley was very responsive and and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog was in good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“Thank you, Nicole & David! We know are dog is in the best hands with you two. I apologize for being late to the pick-up and appreciate your grace. Thank you so much!”
“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!!”
“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!!”
About: I've always loved being around dogs and have experience caring for them through dog sitting and daily walks. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine, so I take the time to make each pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's going for walks, providing playtime, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I'm patient, dependable, and committed to making sure your pet gets the care, exercise, and companionship they need. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and providing a fun, safe, and stress-free experience! Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work full-time and attend school part-time. I have flexibility to provide dependable care during evenings and on weekends. I'm looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy—spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a walk after work, evening companionship, or weekend care while you're away, I'm committed to providing reliable, loving, and attentive care. I'll make sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve, while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands. I live in an apartment, so I don't have a fenced yard, but I make sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention through regular walks and outdoor time. My apartment community has a nearby dog park where dogs can play and burn off energy, with your permission. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and making sure they stay active, happy, and engaged. Inside my home, pets will have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where they'll receive lots of love, attention, and companionship. I follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide, so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you're away.
“Gabrielle and Tommie took wonderful care of our dog over a long weekend! Gabrielle is very quick to respond to messages and sent us several photos of Marty during his stay. He was clearly having a wonderful time and they even filled up a kiddie pool for him to play in on a hot day! We would love for our dog to stay with them again in the future!”
“Teddy’s stay with Nichole and Jacob was his first overnight since he was adopted. They sent plenty of photos and loved him like he was their own. I will definitely use them again and may even be setting up play dates with Teddy’s new friend Koda (their dog).”
“Erin is an incredible pet sitter! Buddy can be needy and anxious yet each time he stays with her he quickly becomes comfortable. She went above and beyond when she had Buddy post-surgery and he wasn’t feeling well. She sends multiple updates and pictures to keep us informed and ease our mind about how Buddy is doing. Would highly recommend Erin!”
“Jenny and Mark were fantastic with Obi and our first time using Rover. They made me feel 100% comfortable with leaving Obi with them for the first time ever, and communication was open and reassuring. I received several updates while on our trip and found Obi very happy and comfortable staying with them. Will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future!”
“Wonderful sitter! My dog loved hanging out with Liam! Great sitter and great updates throughout the whole boarding time! Highly recommend! This is my first time using Rover, but because of Liam, I will for sure be using him and this site again! Thanks for an amazing first experience for both Max and I”
“Jessica and Grant took wonderful care of our golden retriever while we were away. They sent frequent updates and photos and gave her lots of exercise. She was happy and healthy when we picked her up. We would gladly use them again.”
