While we were gone, we received daily updates and could tell Teddy looked happy which makes leaving easier! We would use Andrew again”


“This was our second time using Katie’s services and we were very satisfied with her care. She was flexible with a few last minute changes we needed to make, she sent regular photos coupled with brief updates on how she and Toby were doing while we were away, and was professional in her communication. We highly recommend her and will be reaching out to her again when we need care for our little Boston Toby. Excellent service!”

“Brandi did an amazing job boarding my dog for three nights! She was caring, reliable, and kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind.

I recommend Brittany without reservation - we'll definitely be re-booking in the future!”

“I have a very timid stray cat who runs from evryone who comes into the house. Not with Jennifer!

Jennifer will be back next week while I'm gone for a few days again. Thank you Jennifer!”

I came home to a very happy cat and spotless home. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for rover services. I cannot give her enough praise!”


“Alyssa is the best sitter. She stayed with our cat while we were on vacation. She kept us informed with pictures daily which we appreciated. We could tell our cat really loved Alyssa staying with him. On our return Alyssa had gone above and beyond by cleaning the house and washing the bedding. It was really thoughtful of her and was nice to come home to a clean house. We will ask her to sit for us in the future. Thank you Alyssa for being so wonderful.”


“Ashley is an awesome pet sitter! I hate to even call her that - she's your pets best friend when you're out of town.

Thank you Ashley, I can't wait to work together in the future. Sushi and Bamboo already miss your playtimes!”

“Sonja and Adam did an awesome job with my dog on his first day of daycare! He definitely had a blast and I loved the pictures of all his activities. I appreciate how thoughtful and communicative they are and I can’t wait to bring him back!”

“We just wrapped up our first day of doggy daycare with Jen, and we are so happy to have found such a wonderful family closeby with a fenced yard!!! Jen provided photos and updates throughout the day, which put me at ease. I love that her kids got to play with my dog as well. And I can tell my pup had a great time. We will be repeat customers for sure!!!”

“Kara is absolutely amazing! Not only is she top notch! Her family is out of this world as well! I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for Leo to spend his days while I am at work.”

“This was my dogs' first daycare date with Dana. We had a meet & greet a few days before and all went well so today was a full day of daycare. My dogs came home happy and tired. But even better than that was their excitement when we arrived this morning - SO ready to be back at the meet & greet place! Dana sent pictures and a couple of reports during the day which were much appreciated. My dogs say they'd love to go back to Dana's!!”

“Kristen and her family welcomed Oreo as if he was their own dog. I felt confident that he was getting all the attention he needed. He got some love and exercise and a much welcomed break from his new little fur brother for the day. He is a fast eater, so still eats a lunch and that wasn't an issue at all for them. I know he would be happy to go back for a visit and some playtime with the kids anytime. Thanks for taking such great care of our big boy!”

“We were up for a few days and our old boy, Bowie had recently had some medical issues that we needed him to have a little extra love while we were off doing things and we would bring him back daily when done running. We didn't expect this to be a relaxing spa vacation for him! He was showered with love and pampered more that he is at home! I think he thinks I'm a bad dog dad now! Tawny took him for multiple walks every day, brushed him, gave him treats, and just loved him. He even got in the puppy pool which he doesn't do at home! I absolutely could not have asked for a better person to care for our baby. I highly recommend Tawny and next time we're up here if we need someone to watch one of our animals, we know EXACTLY who we're calling! Thank you Tawny for being such a loving person for our Bow-Bear! You're the BEST!!!”

“Our dog is an energetic dog that also needs some supervising and Tracy’s place was a great doggy daycare spot for his needs! She has a big fenced in yard that he can run around in, and dogs that he can play with! Would recommend”

“Dixie came home a happy dog. Nicole (with her dog Stella) gave our 1 year old puppy a safe and fun place to play and a comfortable place to rest. We couldn’t ask for more.”

“William is wonderful! Our dog loves him! So happy we found William to care for our dog, Scuppers. Scuppers liked William immediately. William is so accommodating and responsive too.”
“Ann has been an absolute dream dog sitter. I know my dog is in excellent hands and I bring him every week. I recommend Ann to anyone, even those like me that is extraordinarily particular about who watches my dog.”

“Kendra and her headband were great! They shared photos, had good communication and were flexible for a last minute sit. Atlas looked like he had a great time. We will definitely use them again!”

“Jen was wonderful! Very communicative and easy to work with. I’m from out of town but spend a lot of time in the Twin Cities and am very glad to have found her. My dog Kylo also seemed to enjoy getting to socialize with other dogs. Five stars!”

“Phillip was awesome and so flexible. We found ourselves traveling back from Iowa State in terrible driving conditions. We made it back later than we had originally set up but Phillip was flexible enough to offer to keep Millie overnight if we needed to stop and stay somewhere or if get back even later than we thought. We would use Phillip again in a heartbeat!”

“River is amazing! If you're considering hiring her, do it. Zeus and I have been going to her for 2 years and the bond they developed was great! Unfortunately we moved so we will no longer be able to use her services, she'll be missed!”

“Chelsie was amazing with our dog, Frankie! He’s nervous with new people, so she let him tag along behind her and nap nearby, and her kids were very soothing and gentle with him. She also sent 3 photos throughout the day. I would absolutely book her again! Thanks, Chelsie!”

About: Hi! I’m Steph — a full-time pet caregiver through Rover and the heart behind a growing pet photography business. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13 and have experience with all kinds of animals, from high-energy pups to quiet companions. I share my life with my dog Scooby, who’s a big lovebug and gets along great with both people and other animals, and two leopard geckos, Helios and Haku, who each have their own little quirks and charm. Over the years, I’ve worked closely with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also have hands-on experience with pet nutrition and wellness—I've worked with a variety of healthy foods, natural supplements, and holistic care routines. I’m great at picking up on subtle signs when something’s off and take pet health seriously. Whether we’re playing fetch, going for a walk, or just snuggling on the couch, I’m all about creating a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared for. I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I always follow your instructions to a T—because your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s happiness. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, understood, and completely at ease while you’re away. I am very flexible with my schedule so please feel free to send me a request or a direct message to sent up an appointment! I have worked with certified fear free trainers as well as being a groomer for 3 years now I am very aware of animal body language and how to meet their needs so they feel safe in their environment. I do have a dachshund mix named Scooby that is incredibly friendly with Small to XL dogs. She’s always up for having a play date!
“Avery is reliable, professional, and friendly. She was helpful when I needed to make a couple last-minute changes to the booking. Unfortunately she had to deal with a couple unexpected challenges and she was a trooper about that. I will definitely ask for Avery again!!”

“Snoopy was crazy about Heidi. It was love at first sight. She took such good care of him like he was her own. I will definitely call on her again. I just wish I could afford it every day. Thank you, Heidi! We really appreciate you. 💜😃🥰”

“Wow! Ed has been just amazing. I came back from knee surgery and just wasn’t able to walk my dog . Ed has been so kind. Consistently prompt and incredibly dependable, Ed always was flexible when I needed a schedule flex. He offered really helpful insights for my dog’s aging (he’s almost 17), was always on time and so thoughtful. Ed even brought me a cookie and hauled my empty and full garbage cans to the curb and back! My dog really loved him and I appreciated the updates. I’ve so enjoyed having Ed’s assistance with walking and would highly recommend him for any help you may need with your pets.”

About: Hi! I’m Isabelle, and if there’s an animal in the room, chances are you’ll find me hanging out with it. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all kinds. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or your cat prefers a quiet companion and some extra treats, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I know every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and spoil them with lots of love and attention! I have a very flexible schedule and am able to accommodate a wide range of days and times, including weekdays, weekends, and last minute requests when needed. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get consistent, reliable care whenever you need it I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. This includes feeding them on schedule, making sure they get exercise and playtime, keeping their space clean, and giving them lots of love and attention. I always pay close attention to their behavior and needs so they stay happy and comfortable while their owners are away.
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. From our neighbors cat who we invited to our birthday parties as kids, to the 3 precious dogs I’ve had the honor of being a mama to. Nash (weimer) left us in 2019 at 12 years old. We just said goodbye to Oliver (Puggle) in August of 2025 at 17 years old! And we currently still get to love on Riggins, our 10 year old Frenchie. With Nash and Oliver living such long lives, I have experience caring for all ages, from puppies to seniors. I work from home full time as a sales executive, so my flexible schedule allows me to step away as needed for care. I am also an early riser, so I am available to breakfast feed an walk early. My dogs are my babies, so I know the importance of having someone to rely on. If you need me to drop in and/or feed or give medicine, potty break/walk etc. at a specific time, I understand how important it is to not be late. If they need something at 3:30, it will be 3:30, not 3:45.
About: I have a special love for animals and have been relied on by friends and family for many years to help out with their pets when needed. I am able to take care of pets of any age or breed, but am especially good with senior care. I am available to come help out after 5pm during the week, outside of my other job hours, and am available all day on the weekends. We have a fenced in backyard at home for when we had dogs to let outside. We now just have cats, and spend time playing with them, cleaning litter boxes, and loving them.
About: Family of 4 animal lovers! We’ve had pets our entire lives and for the past year have been helping with dog fostering. Our two daughters love to help so your pet will receive plenty of attention, love, and playtime in our fully fenced backyard! I work from home so your pet will rarely be alone and will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. Pets are family here and are welcome to any furniture during their stay. We’d love to care for yours like one of our own! Our backyard is quite spacious and fully fenced in. If you’d like, we can definitely take your dog for a walk as our neighborhood is in a quiet suburb of Prior Lake without through traffic (our kids bike around with no fear). We also have two friendly cats who mostly keep to themselves (or cuddle with each other!) and will happily give your dog space.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old and I love all animals! I have trained all of our dogs and they have had long, happy lives. I am a stay-at-home mom and my kids are all grown now. I have plenty of time to cater to your pets needs! I can come to your house anytime or have your pets here. I am very responsible and will always be there for your pets day and night. Staying in touch with you, sending pictures of your pets and following your instructions is a must!
“Kiirsten was absolutely amazing with our process! She was kind, attentive, and made sure she got plenty of exercise and love. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Tracy. I was genuinely so nervous boarding my dogs for the first time, and from the very beginning she made me feel completely at ease. She was warm, patient, reassuring, and so communicative the entire time. What really stood out to me is how naturally comfortable my dogs were with her. You can tell she truly understands animals and cares about them like they’re her own. She sent updates and photos, answered my anxious first-time-boarder questions with so much kindness, and made the whole experience feel safe and personal. Finding someone you can actually trust with your dogs is huge, and Tracy is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”

We received very regular updates and photos of their adventures together and it looked like a fun weekend for all involved. Thanks to Peg and Greg for taking such great care of our Bo. We appreciate it.”

“As always Jeremiah takes great care of Bo. Always keeps us informed on how Bo is doing and sends lots of pictures. He even works to figure out how to help with Bo when he is being a picky eater and making sure he is eating.”

“Steven and Diane took great care of our dog! They communicated consistently and provided a great place for Bo to play and rest and feel at home. He came home tired and happy and we will definitely connect with them again the next time we need someone to watch Bo!”
