“Jennifer and Ben took care of our little dog for the first time, and we couldn’t have been happier! Everything was easy to organize — they always responded very quickly to our messages and sent us regular updates during the stay. We wholeheartedly recommend them!”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of my dog while I was away, and I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was throughout the stay. She sent daily updates, checked in about any concerns, and was very thoughtful when my dog didn’t want to eat the first day — which is normal for her in new environments. I also appreciated the time she took to have us come over beforehand so we could meet her and her dogs and make sure it was a good fit. She was responsive, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would absolutely recommend her to others.”
“Michelle was fantastic with Juniper. Juniper is a super nervous dog and Michelle was very patient with her. Gave me plenty of updates knowing how nervous I was. Will definitely book with her in the future!”
“This was a very positive experience for us with Linda. We met with her first, then left Rosie with her for an hour then off to our River Cruise with Rosie in good hands. Linda sent pics every day and always provided an update. It was so helpful to know things were going well. We will definitely be hoping to have Linda in charge for future needs. She gave such special care to our baby girl!! Highly recommend although we’d like to keep her to ourselves!”
“Absolutely wonderful. This was Oliver's first time going to a pet sitter. I of course was worried but of course my worry was unwarranted. Oliver had a great time playing with the other dog and came home happy, healthy and exhausted from the ability to play and socialization that dogs need. I would recommend Drew without hesitation.”
“Holly and Jeremy and family were great! My two dogs were treated like family. I loved getting pictures of them with the kids and family. I didn’t have to worry about them and that means so much. Thank you!”
“Toni was so sweet, friendly, and helpful. She took great care of Franklin, was flexible to handle the puppy sides of him, and did great at facilitating bonding time for my dog and her grand dog. I would trust to leave Franklin with her again in the future!”
“An amazing person to take your pets to, very attentive and caring and even got me a little refund when I didn’t book correctly my first time! Definitely recommend and will be booking Mathew & Angela again.”
“We had a great experience with Janny and Tramyra! They are incredibly knowledgeable, laid back and patient. They watched our two dogs for over a week, took them on several walks and gave them lots of play time with other furry friends. One of our dogs has battled severe anxiety in the past when we’ve left her and also displayed nervousness around other dogs. Not only did she feel at home with Janny and Tramyra, but she felt comfortable enough to interact with and play with other dogs. Our dog who is on a weight loss journey even lost weight during his stay! They sent daily updates and lots of pictures to give us peace of mind. This was our first experience using Rover and it left a really good impression!”
“David was great to work with and we felt very comfortable leaving our pup in his hands. He consistently communicated with us providing updates which gave us peace of mind that Bo was in good company & care.”
“Andria took amazing care of our two dogs for a 9 day stay. I felt like they were really just part of her family for the week. We got updates and some cute photos too. I would not hesitate to book with her again!”
“Sheryl and family were the most amazing hosts for my dogs! It was like they WERE family. They were gentle, prepared and loving to my two rescues on their first sleepover. They were there for a week while I was traveling for work and I was so relieved to know they were in great hands. Will definitely keep this connection. ❤️”
“Devon is a very experienced dog sitter. She was intuitive and kind to my Pepper (13 year old German Pincher). In spite Pepper upending her garbage and stealing chicken off the counter she took everying in stride. Devon communicates very well, responding daily with pictures and updates She also has a huge fenced in yard which is a plus.”
“I am late in getting my reviews posted. Please forgive me, Miranda and Kaeleb!! Hazel always enjoys being spoiled by you. Thanks so much for being so loving and kind!! Paula L.”
“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”

“Callie was such an amazing, thoughtful, and intentional caregiver for my lil baby!! Absolutely wonderful with both pet care and other home tasks (e.g., plants, vacuum maintenance) and gives such adorable and informative report cards. I cannot recommend her enough and am thrilled to have her as a caregiver any time!”
“Amazing as always! I’m pretty sure the boys were sad when I came home and it wasn’t Brittney! She’s fantastic with my boys, playing with them, giving treats, and plenty of love!”
“Mia is a very responsible sitter! My cat is a shy boy when seeing strangers, but he was willing to play with Mia! Definitely will have another booking with Mia in the future.”
“Joanna is an excellent sitter for our cat, Callie. She sent daily pictures and updates. This was our first time leaving Callie home for several days. It was great to know that someone was there to keep familiar schedule and routines for her. Joanna is caring and so easy to work with. We’ll definitely be using her again and would recommend her!”
“Alison was fantastic! We came home and the cats were relaxed and happy. She was able to work with one cat that is always in need of attention and another that needs space and will let you know when she is ready for attention. If you need a pet sitter, she is wonderful!”
“Hound is an absolute professional and joy to work with. I felt secure knowing that my pet was in his care, which was consistently nothing short of excellent. Strongly strongly recommend! 😊👏🙏❤️”
“Aly was so communicative and helpful! She got my shy kitty to show his face and was extremely detail oriented when providing summaries and her observations of my cats and house! She even helped with ants that had taken over my house!”
“Contacted Matthew somewhat last minute and he did an amazing job watching my two kitties! Very friendly introduction and professional service for my kitties. Would definitely book again in the future.”
“This was the first time I went away and had to leave my 2 kitties in the care of a stranger…I was nervous but Mikaela was excellent! She made my 2 scaredy cats feel comfortable enough to surface from under the bed for pets, left me daily messages with how they did, and of course pics of each cat! I came back from traveling to two well cared for, happy kitties and I would not hesitate to use Mikaela again in the future as well as recommend her to others! Thanks Mikaela!!!”
“We’ve used Brittany for both house sitting and drop in visits, and she’s been wonderful with caring for our pup! I love the photo updates and can tell my dog loves her!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life, both big and small! I've helped take care of my family dogs since I was 7, and been working with dogs beyond my family for 2 years. I have experience working with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with disabilities. Your pup will never be wanting for affection! I'm working full-time during the week, so I am available for house sitting on weekends. I am available for dog walking and play dates during the weekday evenings and weekends. I can provide your fur baby with the bathing, brushing, medicating, exploring, and loving that they need to thrive. I have a small, friendly pup of my own who can play with your dog, and a car that can take them to the dog park if desired. Otherwise, I'm more than happy to provide them every comfort of their own home.

“Ben & Jen were very helpful in taking care of my nervous rescue dogs in helping them get socialized. Ben is very patient and I appreciated them letting my dogs come to their home. Ben was responsive in keeping me informed. Ben & Jen both seem super nice!”
“Matt and Angela took great care of my dog Osi! Osi and their dog, Alfie, had so much fun together. Osi is definitely looking forward to his next play date. Highly recommend Matt and Angela!”
“Michelle was great! She helped me out with a last minute request. Arlo had a great time staying at her place. I would definitely recommend boarding with her! Thank you so much Michelle :)”
“Rhea was fantastic with Dodger! I needed a sitter within two hours of reaching out to her and she made it happen. Very grateful for her. She's great, trust her with your pup.”
“David was so great. He took Bandido on last minute for an afternoon and evening. Went very smoothly. David was obviously comfortable with big dogs. I will definitely use David in the future.”
“Andria's family and dog are all very friendly towards my puppy. Nori had a blast there. He got home and fell asleep within 30 minutes, so I didn't have to spend a lot of time playing with him in the evening:) Andria also captured a few great photos of Nori running in the snow with his new friend. Love the photos!”
“My dog and I had a great experience with Scott and Jennifer! I unexpectedly needed to travel to Rochester for the day from Minneapolis and Scott and Jennifer were extremely responsive and able to accommodate a last minute booking for my 13 week old puppy and sent me lots of videos and photos of their adventures throughout the day. Would definitely recommend and use again next time I am in the area!”
“First time at doggy daycare for our 7 yr old Chi mix - both he and our puppy were well cared for and arrived home this evening tired snd happy. Knowing they were safe made our time away worry free! Thank you Stacy for a great experience.”
About: I am set apart from the other sitters because I have knowledge and experience in the medical field. I was a Vet Tech and have my degree before I became pregnant. I have cared for senior dogs and have a 20 year old Chihuahua. I’ve loved animals since forever. I have a deep passion for helping animals. Your dog will be treated like family while you are away. I provide a safe, comfortable , and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing you pup is happy and cared for. I have a Vet Tech degree but I currently just had my first baby 9 months ago so I am at home watching her, but I would love to get back to caring for animals. I believe I was put on this Earth to nurture and care for animals. One of my favorite things to do is train dogs. I get so many complements on how well my dogs act. I would love to help anyone struggling with behavioral issues. I know how stressful boarding can be. That is why I want to make it as stress free as possible. Our dogs have their own area in the basement so they will never come into contact with your pups and we take walks daily. I also have worked in Vet clinics and know how to give medications and first aid care if needed. I take my boarding very seriously and am committed to making your dog feel the most at home. I finished schooling to become a Vet Technician and than became pregnant. So currently I am at home with my 9 month old. I am eager to get back to caring for animals but also would like to spend time taking care of my daughter as well! I have four dogs and three cats. Our dogs do really well with other dogs but our German Sheperd can be a bit shy at first because he was attacked as a puppy. I know how stressful it can be housing your dogs with other dogs, so to easy your mind I have turned our basement into a dog only zone with toys/kennels/treats where our dogs will stay when I am boarding other peoples dogs, So that they never have to intact with each other. They will be let out separately as well. We don’t have a fenced in yard but we have a decent sized yard and your dogs will be leashes outside at all times.
“Janny & Tramyra we're AMAZING!!!! They accepted my request at the last minute when another sitter bailed on me an hour before the scheduled stay time. They were so kind and friendly and sent tonssss of pictures and my Baxter was having a BLAST!!! His home away from home. Will definitely book again!!”
“I absolutely loved my experience with Andrew. My husband had major surgery and our Winnie got a little stir crazy at the hotel. Andrew treated her with such love and care. He treated her like one of his pack members. I have never left my dog with anyone but family before so I was a little nervous. After a couple pictures and texts from Andrew I could tell he had been spending quality time with Winnie and knew her quirky personality. We have to come to Mayo Clinic often for testing and I will not hesitate to use Andrew's services again!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
About: Relocated here from Iowa. Enjoy working with different dogs. Pet lover. I completed 6 months of Veterinarian Assistant classes online. Life happened and I had to take a pause. But I am thinking about going back and finish obtaining my associates degree in the field. So whether it be house sitting with the animals or simply doing some walking or activities, I don't mind and will enjoy my time with them. Its something I enjoy as one of my hobbies. I am available during the week days. Every other weekend I work night shift at this time. I enjoy play time with pets because they too have different personalities. Love Dogs. We cuddle mostly and play. Take walks outside. Play fetch with their toys. It's cool to go to the backyard and be socialable with nature. I think it helps with sensory awareness.
About: I require any visiting pets to be vaccinated and on flea preventitive! I have trained many kinds of dogs for many different things! I have a service dog that I trained Bella! I also have a cat that is trained to sit, spin, and jump! I have experience with diabetic animals and with most animals in general! I am educated on animal CPR and heimlich. I'm happiest when I'm spending time with 6 dogs at a time lol it's so much fun! I don't have space to take more than one large dog or 2 small dogs at a time but someday I will! I am working on getting fencing for my yard! I only let 1 dog out at a time. I follow owners feeding schedule. I chart every feeding, drink of water that i see, and every potty break. I send updates daily and am well educated on how to calm an anxious dog!
About: I have always been an avid animal-lover. From childhood into adulthood, I have owned and cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds & fish. My family & I currently share our home with two dogs, a bearded dragon, a Russian tortoise, & a ball python. I have several years of professional work experience in animal care (zoo, kennel care, walking, basic grooming) and wildlife / parks & recreation—both of which are relevant. I enjoy the outdoors and keeping all of our furry (& scaly) friends happy. I will board dogs, small mammals, reptiles & birds in my home! Upon request, I can do drop-in visits for cats or exotic animals within a 15 mile radius. I am currently a stay-at-home mom & so my schedule allows me to be at home majority of the time. If I need to leave the house, it’s never for more than a couple of hours. I have a large four-story home, which provides amble space for pets to play or to be separated if need be. I utilize crates for dogs who need or prefer it. Our yard is unfenced, so I use slip leads and tie-out cables for potty time.
About: I have been a pet sitter for many years. Also, I have always had a dog and cat of my own since I was a young child. I will treat your pet as if it was my own. I feel it's important that animals get exercise and will take your dog for walks and make sure they are comfortable and happy. Your pet will get lots of love in my home!! I work from home and can attend to them anytime. I will walk them as I do for my own dogs. They will get to play outside in a large wooded area. I live out in the country on 8 acres. You pet will be in paradise! Your pet will sleep in my home. My other dogs are friendly. They are used to having other dogs stay with us. I can also care for your pet in your home.

“Mia was great!! We recently hired her for a walk so my pup could get to know her a bit before an upcoming house sit. She's been prompt with responding, right on time for the walk and super patient with my dog who is very wary of strangers. Highly recommend! :)”
“I appreciate Scott's care for our pup, communication, and availability when we needed him on short notice. Hucklebear liked Scott and seemed very comfortable with him. Thanks, Scott!”
“Ashley took care of our two dogs while we were away for two days and she did an exceptional job. Great communication, she was very reliable, friendly and attentive to our pups. We will definitely use her again! Highly recommend her!”
“If 10 stars was an option I’d give 10, but 5 will have to do. This was our first time booking with Rover and I could not be more happy. We hit the jackpot with Elsie. She was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures! Absolutely love that we can have someone care so well for our pup in the comfort of his own home!”
About: HELLO! I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from pups to senior pets who have special needs. I have done stuff like this ever since I was in middle school. I am very flexible with my time. I do have a cat allergy but that won’t stop me from that either! I’m always here to help you’re best friend 😊 Im very flexible with my schedule for a couple months! I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣
“Matthew did an excellent job with my 12-year-old dachshund named Isaac. He was quick to respond, right on time, very friendly, and is clearly experienced with dogs. Isaac can sometimes feel stressed when separating from me in a new environment, but Matthew immediately knew how to help keep him calm and comfortable. He sent photos during the walk, recommended some great parks and dog-friendly walking areas around Rochester, and chose an excellent place for us to meet. You can tell he genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and pays attention to their individual needs and personalities. Overall this was a fantastic experience and I would absolutely trust Matthew with Isaac again in the future. I highly recommend Matthew for taking good care of people's pets.”
