“Our chihuahua/terrier Fitz loved his stays with Lan! He returns to her house with a hop in his step, running full speed ahead into her arms. His behavior says it all - he feels safe and we’ll cared for. What more could we ask? We live out of town and connected with Lan on a family visit - we hope to have Lan care for Fitz in future visits!”

“Brittany took wonderful care of our dog Buddy while we were out of the country for 11 days. She runs a happy household with her team of friendly canine hosts. We received pictures and messages every day and could see how content Buddy was. Brittany has a fenced backyard for outdoor play and guests have full access to furniture including cuddling in the "big bed." We will contact Brittany first as we plan our future travel! Truly a great host. A+ rating”

“Nicole and David are so kind and caring, they provided frequent updates and videos/pictures which is always reassuring to know your pet is having a great time!”

“Betsy is absolutely amazing!!! She was extremely communicative about my dog's stay, she sent pics and eased my stress of letting me know how the stay was going with regular updates, it was my first time using Rover and I will definitely use it again! Thank you Betsy!”

“Ashley was absolutely wonderful to have take care of my dog. It was an easy stay to manage where she made sure his time was full of loving and walks (including plenty of photos). He was exhausted and happy the day I picked him up; I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for somewhere for their pup to stay and have a great time.”

“Katie was so great! She was super responsive and sent pics while we were gone. Shes super friendly and took care of our dogs like her own. 12/10, would definitely recommend!”

“Miriam was an outstanding dogsitter for our young puppy, Jack! My partner and I got married this past weekend in Duluth and felt like it was best to leave Jack behind. It was honestly really hard to leave him - he's never been with anyone but us for the past two months. Enter Miriam. She absolutely set me at ease with daily updates and photos of Jack. I could tell that Jack was living his best puppy life and was completely okay with us leaving him for the weekend. He's been home for the past 4 hours and he seems more well-behaved than when we left. So, I'm not sure what kind of magic Miriam wove, but I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is outstanding! We'll definitely rebook!”

“Debbie, Mike and family are so kind. They put great effort into making Sunny feel comfortable. It seems like Sunny is a bit depressed and misses you guys! 😊Thanks again for your outstanding care!”

“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!”

“An excellent experience. They provided great communication with updates and photos of the dog. I could tell immediately upon picking up my dog that she enjoyed her stay with them. I plan to use them again for future travels.”


“Tom took great care of our boy. He looked very happy in the photos Tom sent. Tom took the time at our "meet and greet" prior to Solo's stay to get information about his daily schedule, behavior and known commands, and his untiring love of playing fetch.”

“Did a great job with our dog, gave regular updates of how things were going, and sent pictures. Kyle was also quick and responsive with questions and communication. Overall, great stay for our dog!”

“Nichole & Jacob took great care of our dog. They were very responsive with communication both before and during his boarding. I will definitely be using them for future boarding needs.”

“This is the place to bring your pups for great care, a fun backyard and awesome support. Do not hesitate to book, your dog(s) will have a blast. They are willing to work with all types of dogs, so check in with them! Thank you!”

“Claire took such good care of our girl! She was super accommodating and sent photos throughout her stay. We will totally book with Claire again and can’t recommend her enough!”

“Deborah was outstanding. We were nervous about leaving our 2 year old dog for the first time, knowing he'd never spent time apart from us and that he is a bit of a handful. Deborah was attentive, loving and patient with him. She sent us regular updates, which really put our mind at ease. It was such a blessing to know that he was safe and tended in her care. We are very grateful to her and would definitely turn to her in the future.”

“We loved having Brenda watch our pup! She sent lots of updates and pictures during the stay. Her family and dogs were so sweet and playful with her, too. Would definitely recommend!”

“Sara did such a great job with our two cats while we were out of town for two weeks. She gave us detailed, informative updates and gave the cats lots of love. It was a huge relief to know our cats were in such caring hands.”

“I am so grateful for Emily’s help with my kitties. Emily is patient, kind, and attentive to pets’ needs and quickly communicates updates to me. Thank you Emily, you’re a star!”

“The best sitter on this app. She takes great care of our two cats. She is super responsive and any accommodations we needed they could do. I only work with her and will only work with her.”


“Kelsey was great! She stopped in to care for our kitties during the holidays and was very communicative and prompt with lots of pictures and updates. I would happily have her care for my cats again!”
“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!”


“Helen was GREAT! She took wonderful care of our kitties and was so great as we are still in the middle of introducing the two! She sent so many photos and made us feel very connected to them while we were away!:)”


“Sophie is great with our cats! The cats are very shy, but Sophie is very patient with them and they always do really well with her. We're grateful to have Sophie's help when we travel!”


“Shayla was awesome! She did a great job of documenting the time spent with our cat, was very punctual, and seemed to genuinely care about her job. We highly recommend Shayla and look forward to having her watch our Tony 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.”


“My first time using Rover. Kayleah was really great! The pictures she sent put me at ease, when I got home I saw that she had cleaned the floors! I was so surprised, what a treat! I am so glad this service is available!”

“Jill was amazing!! We were nervous leaving our young cat who hasn’t been away from us and our older kitty with anxiety and medication needs, but Jill set us at ease the entire week with detailed reports and pictures! She clearly has a way with animals and even did unexpected extras like resetting our clocks after a power outage. Jill is truly a gem. We feel so good knowing she can take care of our babies if we go away. Highly recommend!”


“Abrielle took such good care of my elderly cat. She took extra care to give him snuggles and sent so many wonderful pictures of him. Because of his age he tends to have accidents and I was so thankful Abrielle agreed to care for him despite that. I felt very secure leaving him in her care.”

“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.”

About: I am new to Rover, but I have many years of experience in taking care of animals. In addition to living with cats and dogs for most of my life, I have also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society. In addition to pets, I also volunteered at the Wildlife Science Center with feeding animals such as foxes, raccoons, bobcats, a lynx, and skunks, and I had the opportunity to care for wolf pups at the International Wolf Center. I am recently retired, so my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and most evenings and am able to work around your schedule. I currently have two cats and previously had dogs, so I understand the importance of keeping them on a regular schedule. Being around animals gives me joy, so I look forward to spending quality time with your pet. I follow your instructions and make sure to follow your pet’s lead when interacting with them. I send you pictures, so you can see how your pet is doing when you are away. I can also check mail and water plants if needed.

“Takenya is so sweet with our girl. Lilah has never stayed without a family member or trusted friend before so we were nervous. Lilah had so much fun. We got such cute videos of her time there. Our dog came home & happy & tired. She took a big nap. We already booked Takenya again!”

About: As a teacher, I know each dog is unique and individual. I’m a cautious and observant pet sitter who strives to do what’s best for your pet. I prefer written directions as I know each dog has unique needs and do my best to follow them. I’ve been lucky to grow up with a cairn terrier, to have been a pet sitter for my sister’s pets for five years before I joined Rover, and I’m the mama of an adorable Labrador Husky. Looking forward to meeting your pack! I’m an online teacher (home full time) who teaches part time summer school as well. I have time during my prep time, after classes and on the weekends to play with your dog and give walks. If your dog allows, I will walk them when I walk my dog, which is 3x a day. I will check on the safety and well being of your pet. I will replenish food and water is always available. If they need some play time, I will also do that. Want them to feel safe.

“Upon the meet and greet I knew my hound harper would be in good hands: Andrea took great care of Harper. It is a huge relief to know I’ve got a place to drop her off at when I need to and don’t have to worry about her.”

“Xan was amazing! I was in the area camping with my dogs and wanted to take a kayak tour. I didn't think that the dogs would do great for that, and luckily Can was able to watch my guys. She was awesome. She communicated with me quickly when I was worrying and even sent pictures. She was very loving with both of them and even bonded with my 10 month old Cane Corso puppy.”

“Emily was very responsive and understanding in taking care of our bolt-of-energy Golden Retriever, Angus. She did an awesome job sending updates and providing a summary of his visit. With her high ratings, I had high expectations, and Emily exceeded them! I cannot recommend her enough.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since my teenage years, from puppies to seniors. Lately, I’ve fostered and adopted senior rescues. I consider dogs some of the most special creatures on Earth. I work full-time from home and love having dog-walking breaks throughout the day. I can sit in your home (as long as there’s wi-fi so I can log into work) or mine. My 15-year old Chihuahua mix passed away recently, so I currently do not have an animal companion in my home, though that doesn’t last very long with me! I do not have a fenced-in yard; however, there is a walking path across the front street of my home and a city park across the street in the back.
About: I had 3 dogs growing up so I know when they need something and to make they’re mood better also keep them happy and energized I recently paid my rent for 2 months of July and August so I have plenty of time to be an perfect candidate for this position Give them dog treats pet them take them on a walk play with them keep them safe and out of harm listening to their needs
“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 am experienced with senior, special needs, and medically complex dogs. My husband and I also foster through various local rescues! I have had my own dogs (and cats, chickens, bunnies, etc!) my whole life. We both work from home and will be with your fur baby 24/7 during their stay. My husband and I both work from home. We are both home and able to provide 24/7 care for the animals we board! Our large, fully fenced yard provides lots of space to run and play on nice days. I have a very large fenced yard with two dog pools for hot summer days. My home offers multiple rooms and, due to the fact that we often foster, we have several kennels and other “safe space” areas if your fur baby feels safer hanging out or sleeping separately from the rest of the pack. Although, we are a household that encourages pets to curl up on the furniture! We have 2 dogs of our own- a collie/Aussie mix and husky. Both are friendly, up to date on vaccines, and love other dogs! Lastly, we are a cat friendly home but do have separate spaces available if separation from them is best.
“Tofte had a great time at Bethany's! She provided great detail on his end-of-day report card and had lots of pictures that showed that he enjoyed his day with her.”

“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've taken care of all sorts of animals from rabbits, cats, dogs, lizards and rats. I love almost every kind of animal and would love to experience them in full. I have taken care of senior animals in their last leg of life, almost like a pet hospice. Everyone deserves comfort and love. I have 2 cats myself, with my family. We all take turns and take time to care for the animals. They are like family to us, so its just kind of second nature to add them into our schedules. I have mentioned my family in certain bio points, but it will be just me showing up for you and your pets. In the client's home I would prefer a list of how you like your animal cared for as everyone has different schedules, but I would try to keep myself and your pets to your schedule. I know that structure can really help some people, and I know some loose reigns help others. So just give me a heads up for what you need and I will fit my style accordingly. I would like to point out that it will be just me taking care of your pets, I have mentioned my family in certain bio points, but it will be just me showing up for you.

“Sharron does a great job and communicates well with us on schedule adjustments. Fiona my Goodendoodle waits at the door for her to pull up to the house and is excited to see her every walk.”

“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!”

“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!”

About: I've owned a dog and/or a cat since I left college and once had 3 dogs, 3 cats and 2 children under age 6 in the same house! I worked for a pet sitting business in Virginia for two years and love to observe animals and get to know to know them on their terms. Experience matters with pets and I have that, combined with great communication and common sense. I'm the person you want watching your furry friends when you can't be there. I'm also a photography lover and I'm happy to work to get some good shots of your animals while taking care of them. I'm a semi-retired journalist who often works remotely, so I have plenty of time to pet sit. With my kids in college, my nest is empty except for my Pueto Rican chihuahua mix, Nina. We walk two or three times a day when the weather and my schedule permits. I'll care for your pets as if they were mine. I've owned multiple cats and dogs, from 8 pounds up to 90. If you have the patience and experience, almost every animal will give you clues on how they want to be treated.
“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. :)”

“Sophie has been an extremely reliable dog walker for our pup over the past 5 months! She was great at managing his high energy levels and figuring out a play/walk routine that worked well for them both. We are very grateful for her services!”

About: I grew up with three labradors, and love caring for dogs of all sizes and ages! I have experience with small and medium sized dogs, and I've have also walked Great Danes (which are about as tall as me!). I love dogs of all ages, and especially have a soft spot in my heart for older and aging dogs who might need a slower pace. If you work long hours and need someone to walk your dog at lunch or in the afternoon, this works perfectly for me. I am available from mid morning to early evening. Your dog's safety is extremely important to me. I keep dogs leased, avoid busy and crowded streets whenever possible, stay alert for traffic and other animals, and listen to pet parent requests for your dog's safety.

I’m especially comfortable with nervous, reactive, and senior dogs, and I understand the patience and care they need—my own dog is a senior, too. I’m currently completing a dog training apprenticeship, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality while helping them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I strive to provide compassionate, reliable care that’s tailored to every dog’s individual needs. I’m also proud to offer a welcoming, inclusive environment and am LGBTQ+ (queer and trans) and disability friendly. I currently work hybrid and have plenty of time to be inclusive of many schedules! I also will be moving to part time work which will open my schedule even more I always tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine and needs. Before each booking, I like to learn about their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, favorite activities, and any medical or behavioral considerations so I can provide consistent, low-stress care.

I’ll follow all care instructions closely, provide plenty of love, enrichment, walks or playtime as appropriate, administer medications if needed, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and safe.

About: I've had dogs my entire life. Many of my neighbors and friends trust me to take care of their dogs while at work or on vacation.

I strive to make every day exciting and enriching for each animal! I currently work a part-time job, I am available all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays and most weekends as well as any day after 5 pm.

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.
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 can provide a separate room for pets, as well as a crate, if needed.
About: I've taken care of all sorts of animals from rabbits, cats, dogs, lizards and rats. I love almost every kind of animal and would love to experience them in full. I have taken care of senior animals in their last leg of life, almost like a pet hospice. Everyone deserves comfort and love. I have 2 cats myself, with my family. We all take turns and take time to care for the animals. They are like family to us, so its just kind of second nature to add them into our schedules. I have mentioned my family in certain bio points, but it will be just me showing up for you and your pets. In the client's home I would prefer a list of how you like your animal cared for as everyone has different schedules, but I would try to keep myself and your pets to your schedule. I know that structure can really help some people, and I know some loose reigns help others. So just give me a heads up for what you need and I will fit my style accordingly. I would like to point out that it will be just me taking care of your pets, I have mentioned my family in certain bio points, but it will be just me showing up for you.

“Brittany took wonderful care of our dog Buddy while we were out of the country for 11 days. She runs a happy household with her team of friendly canine hosts. We received pictures and messages every day and could see how content Buddy was. Brittany has a fenced backyard for outdoor play and guests have full access to furniture including cuddling in the "big bed." We will contact Brittany first as we plan our future travel! Truly a great host. A+ rating”


“Thank you Lydia for the wonderful care you took of Kobe while we were away for the holiday. I loved the daily updates and he came home happy and tired from all his playmate fun. We will definitely use Lydia again if she’s available! She is wonderful!”

“Nicole and David are so kind and caring, they provided frequent updates and videos/pictures which is always reassuring to know your pet is having a great time!”

“Ashley was absolutely wonderful to have take care of my dog. It was an easy stay to manage where she made sure his time was full of loving and walks (including plenty of photos). He was exhausted and happy the day I picked him up; I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for somewhere for their pup to stay and have a great time.”

“Miriam was an outstanding dogsitter for our young puppy, Jack! My partner and I got married this past weekend in Duluth and felt like it was best to leave Jack behind. It was honestly really hard to leave him - he's never been with anyone but us for the past two months. Enter Miriam. She absolutely set me at ease with daily updates and photos of Jack. I could tell that Jack was living his best puppy life and was completely okay with us leaving him for the weekend. He's been home for the past 4 hours and he seems more well-behaved than when we left. So, I'm not sure what kind of magic Miriam wove, but I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is outstanding! We'll definitely rebook!”

“Debbie, Mike and family are so kind. They put great effort into making Sunny feel comfortable. It seems like Sunny is a bit depressed and misses you guys! 😊Thanks again for your outstanding care!”

“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!”

“An excellent experience. They provided great communication with updates and photos of the dog. I could tell immediately upon picking up my dog that she enjoyed her stay with them. I plan to use them again for future travels.”


“Tom took great care of our boy. He looked very happy in the photos Tom sent. Tom took the time at our "meet and greet" prior to Solo's stay to get information about his daily schedule, behavior and known commands, and his untiring love of playing fetch.”

“Did a great job with our dog, gave regular updates of how things were going, and sent pictures. Kyle was also quick and responsive with questions and communication. Overall, great stay for our dog!”

“Nichole & Jacob took great care of our dog. They were very responsive with communication both before and during his boarding. I will definitely be using them for future boarding needs.”

“This is the place to bring your pups for great care, a fun backyard and awesome support. Do not hesitate to book, your dog(s) will have a blast. They are willing to work with all types of dogs, so check in with them! Thank you!”

“Claire took such good care of our girl! She was super accommodating and sent photos throughout her stay. We will totally book with Claire again and can’t recommend her enough!”

“Remy’s 2nd stay with Robert just as successful as his first. Robert thoughtfully sent a few photos of the activities. They were engaged in. Robert also dealt very thoughtfully with a timing/travel snafu that we ran into in an area where we did not have good Wi-Fi or cell service. We very much appreciate his calm, gentle and kind services.”

“Deborah was outstanding. We were nervous about leaving our 2 year old dog for the first time, knowing he'd never spent time apart from us and that he is a bit of a handful. Deborah was attentive, loving and patient with him. She sent us regular updates, which really put our mind at ease. It was such a blessing to know that he was safe and tended in her care. We are very grateful to her and would definitely turn to her in the future.”

“Catherine was absolutely wonderful! This was Zuri's first time staying away from home and Catherine went above and beyond to make her feel at home. Catherine sent daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated, and lots of special treats and special love were given. Zuri also enjoyed having another dog to play with, as she is an only child. I would highly recommend Catherine and will definitely use her again.”

“We loved having Brenda watch our pup! She sent lots of updates and pictures during the stay. Her family and dogs were so sweet and playful with her, too. Would definitely recommend!”
