“Aish and her family were wonderful. They sent many pictures and videos. My dog, Pepper, seemed to have a good time playing with the other dogs she had there. This was our first time using Rover and we were super nervous about leaving our baby with anyone. I think Pepper misses being over there now playing with the others. Due to the BWCA wildfires we had to end our trip early. Aish made sure to refund the money for the other days right away without me even asking. She responded immediately to all my texts. I would definetly use her to watch my Pepper again.”
“John and Teri did a fantastic job caring for our dog. They are great communicators and we know our dog was well loved while he was staying with them. We would not hesitate to book again and highly recommend to anyone considering!”
“She did an amazing job. Very flexible and allowed me to drop off and pick up any time. Must of had lots of play time with him because he had to sleep it off for next 2 days! Could definitely tell he enjoyed his stay!”
“Chelsie was great, highly recommend!! She agreed to take my pup on short notice, was so kind and welcoming, and was amazing with my pup!! It was great as she sent daily updates and pictures. I will most definitely use her services again in the future!!”
“Rachel did a great job with Ralphie! He was happy and seemed to enjoy his time with her. She took him to the park a few times! I would be comfortable using her services again!”
“Cassondra was amazing from start to finish !! It was our first time using Rover and it went great. We did a meet and greet for a 1/2 day before the stay. This helped us feel it was going to be a good fit for Gertie and her and her family. We were on a cruise and we loved getting pictures and updates on how Gertie was doing. Gertie had a great time and loved her time there. We will for sure book her again in the future. Thanks so much !! Highly recommend !!”
“Elizabeth and her family are wonderful!!! They took so good care of my 3months old puppy! She sent me pictures and updates everyday! I’m sure Teddy felt loved by her and her family! Thank you so much! You are amazing!”
“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”
“Jennifer was so sweet, caring, and accommodating to our pup. I loved getting pictures and messages throughout his stay, which really put my mind at ease. I truly appreciate her taking in a puppy and being so flexible with our schedule tweaks. We'll definitely book again.”
“Becky is the best! My oldest dog loves going there and gets excited as soon as we pull in the driveway, and she welcomed our newer younger nervous dog who seemed to do well! We are so grateful to have found her!!”
“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”
“Kami was amazing and so good with our old, special needs dog. She had great communication and sent lots of updates and pictures. I know Rigby really enjoyed his time with Kami and the other dogs!”
“Great communication and flexibility from Alecia and Todd. They treated my little girl like one of their own. My mind was totally at ease. Can't wait til next time!”
“Lan did a great job caring for Martha and Susan! The picture update was appreciated, but girls looked very happy. Lan’s dog, Lucy, was adorable and friendly.”
“I typically book with a daycare center but due to the amount of time we would be gone, we feared he would suffer from anxiety and loneliness. So we decided to book with a home daycare to ensure he received more personal care. They did an awesome job with Jake. Seemingly, he was treated like their own with lots of cuddle time. They provided daily updates and included cute photos. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely use them again.”
“Aimee and Robert were great with a last minute booking for our nervous girl. In the middle of moving it was so nice to know Ruby was taken care of. She came home relaxed and happy.”
“Its scary to leave your pet with strangers. I got good vibes from this family and trusted them with my dog for 5 nights. They provided the best updates and photos showing how loved and cared for my ? was while in their care. If my pup ever wanders, I'll check with them first because I'm sure he would love to go back.”
“Kirsten was so patient with me...she cared for my senior dog over a long holiday weekend, with storms. Emma felt safe while spending time in her family and enjoyed the big fenced yard. Emma was allowed to sleep in the bedrooms at night. Kirsten sent pictures daily so I cld be reassured Emma was doing well. I wld highly recommend Kirsten.”

“Corey and Mia were incredible. My cat is so-so about so many people, but they had the magic touch. I got updates everyday with photos and updates on what they were doing, although I never doubted that they were taking care of him. I felt more peace of mind leaving Stanley with Corey and Mia than I have felt even leaving him with my friends. I will certainly be bringing Stanley back, and could not recommend them more!”
“Kallyn has done such good work dropping in to feed and play with my cat! She is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly cares deeply for animals. I wouldn't hesitate to rebook her in the future.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for neighbors for over 10 years and have also worked at a doggy daycare in Columbia Heights. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide reliable pet care. I’m very experienced with managing my schedule and making sure each dog’s needs come first. I make time for regular feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their care instructions and give their pets everything they need. During visits, I’ll feed them, let them outside or take them for a walk, and spend time playing with them to help get their energy out. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and are comfortable before I leave.
About: I have always been a cat lover, I’ve had 3 cats growing up, all very different from each other. I know how to deal with every age and temperament. I have been cat sitting for friends and family for the past 4 years and have been wanting to expand my services to more people!
“Haylee was very courteous and responsible. She took great care of my cat Phoebe and of my home as well. She followed all instructions and sent lots of photos which was greatly appreciated!”
About: I also have extensive experience caring for cats, both personally and professionally. I recently lost my own cat after 20 years together, so I understand just how important compassionate, attentive care is at every stage of a pet’s life. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve worked with clients’ cats for years through the veterinary clinic where I work and grew up, giving me experience with cats of many different personalities, ages, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior cats, and helping nervous or shy cats feel safe and comfortable.
“Whitney did a fantastic job caring for my 2 cats while I was away for a week. She sent wonderful photos and spoiled them with love, play, and treats. I’m glad I found someone in the area I trust to look after them when I’m out of town.”
“Emily was so incredible watching my 3 cats. My cats are a little high maintenance with prescription foods and feeding separately, but she handled it perfectly. She was so responsive and the line of communication was always open. I also will add that I’ve used Rover MANY times and she sent the best photos I’ve ever received back. It was so nice to have her watching and caring for my babies. Plus when I got home from the visit my place was clean and better than I had left it. Emily is wonderful and I will for sure be using her again. 10/10.”
About: Hi! I’m Danielle, and I’d love to care for your cat while you’re away. I’m a millennial, born and raised in Florida, but I’ve lived in Minnesota for a decade. I’m a devoted cat owner to my sweet boy, Maverick, for over 10 years. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to take care of your kitty. I am very gentle, kind, and great with cats of all breeds! I provide calm and attentive care while following your instructions closely. During each visit I’ll provide fresh food, water, clean the litter box, offer playtime, and companionship.
About: I absolutely love cats and have been pet sitting cats and dogs for 4 years. I’ve had 2 cats of my own for most of my life and currently have 17 year old cats. I also have experience administering medicine to cats such as pills and fluids!
About: I grew up around livestock and all sorts of other animals. I recently lost my own dog but when I had her I used Rover to help find a regular dog sitter for when I went on teacher conferences. I recently became trained in dog and cat CPR and first aid. I am not afraid to give medications to an animal and have taken care of dogs that have special needs such as anxiety, fear of fireworks, fear of guns and high energy. I am currently on a teaching schedule but after memorial day I will be available most days. If I am away during the summer it's usually just during the day. They will take first priority, getting food, water, any medications prescribed and taken to go outside will all take place before my needs. I can provide a kennel at my home and kennel trained my own dog understanding the process for that.
About: I have cared for animals of all kinds from an early age and have been a veterinary technician since 2012. Since I could drive I have lived and breathed pet care and put my self through school to be come a veterinary technician. From basic care to special needs, I am able to care for all conditions and stages of life. I commute from Cannon Falls to Lakeville and am available for early morning and evening care as well as boarding in your home or my own. Though I do not have a fenced yard I take great care with safe tie outs and walks for my own dog. We live in a quiet rural neighborhood. Crating will be required at times. (Examples: meals, breaks and if no one is home)

“This was Zildjian’s first Rover experience and it couldn't have gone better. Leanna was great and allowed me the opportunity to test put how he would do with a shorter than usual stay (4 hours). She was very accommodating and communicative. I could tell he liked her even though he starts out meeting new people a little in a vocal manner. He trotted right along side her into the house and the photos I saw of him playing with the other dogs showed me that he enjoyed his time. I would not hesitate to bring him to play again in the future!”
“Snow had a good time over at their place, I was going to be busy with work for the whole day and I found them available the day before. They sent pictures of her during her stay as well. Overall, Snow's satisfied so I am too.”
“I sent my dogs for a fun daycare day and they came back so tired! I know they had a wonderful day. Kelsey was super sweet and informative, also sending pupdates throughout the day.”
“This was our first experience using Lynn to provide an afternoon of daycare for our two, 1-1/2 yr old labs Maggie and Willow. Lynn met with us for a visit before we booked this daycare service and we found Lynn to be very knowledgeable, confident, cheerful and pleasant to work with. She did a great job answering all of questions and gave us the time we needed to ask them. On the day of daycare she took extra care in introducing our pups to the other dogs since Maggie can be very timid and a bit insecure. Everything went really well and by all indications Maggie and Willow had a great time. We will certainly book future stays with Lynn.”
“Maxie was having separation anxiety and Brittany was totally understanding of that. Once we work with Maxie to get her use to others outside of our family I would absolutely book with Brittany again”
About: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I walk, run and play with them. I treat every pet like a friend, offering comfort, attention and emotional connection. I bathe my dog about every other month. We have a routine in the morning with a walk before breakfast. Sometimes a walk around lunch time and another one after work is done. He is well loved and treated like a family member. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am in my office 3 half days and full time at home the other 2 days. I could stop at someone’s place on my way home to spend time with a dog and walk them. I can also stop over after work and later in the evening. In my home I have a fenced in yard that my dog can run free and play. If I am in a clients home I would make sure that there is nothing that the dog/puppy could get into after spending time with them/walking them.
“Second time to leave our pup with Elizabeth and I could tell by how excited he was when we came back that he enjoyed his last stay. Elizabeth was also very kind to accommodate Tubby overnight as a last minute request due to a family emergency.”
“Ro had another wonderful stay with Topsy! He was so excited when we got there he ran right into the house and straight to the backyard so he could play. We always feel so comfortable and happy leaving Ro with Topsy. Ro always has so much fun!”
“Giovana and her family were so wonderful with Skye. I couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter. Thank you so much for treating Skye like he was part of your family. If I need a sitter again, hopefully you are available. 😁”

“I am new to the area, and Chelsie was very close by. She responded promptly and communicated clearly. I brought Riley over, and Chelsie kindly met me at the car. I was having some difficulty with the long lead, and Riley immediately went up to her as if they had known each other for a long time. When Riley heard the dogs barking inside the house, she led Chelsie to the door, which was quite charming. I realized I forgot to mention something to Chelsie, but she responded right away. On my way back to pick up Riley, I got caught in traffic, so Chelsie graciously brought Riley out to me, and Riley happily got into the car without any issues. After we returned home, I noticed that Riley's card was filled out, and there was a detailed note, along with photos of Riley's day, showing that she had gone for a walk and played with her dogs. Overall, I would rate the experience as excellent, and Riley will definitely be visiting again.”

About: I have pet sat for family members and friends. I also have worked at Wag’n Wash and have a lot of experience with all different types of breeds and temperaments. I know how to properly handle and deal with most if not all situations. I am home for the summer from college in the middle of May, and after I’m home I will be free most of the week with some errands and stuff I have to do in between some days. So I will be able to house sit during the week or just take them on walks or check up on them, depending on what the client wants to do. I work weekends but am able to take breaks and stop by the house if needed. I will insure all the care is specialized to each animal and what service I provide for them. With each pet I will come up with a specific care plan for them and review it with the owner to insure they get a say in what happened while they are gone.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up around a veterinary clinic and have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 7 years, giving me hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Through both clinic work and pet sitting, I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, handling anxious or nervous animals, and working with puppies who may need extra supervision, potty breaks, patience, or routine reinforcement. I recently graduated from Bradley University and currently have a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week and weekends. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits and can work around your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’m especially comfortable with pets who need more frequent check-ins, senior pets who may need extra attention, and puppies who benefit from structured routines and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I also love keeping owners updated and am happy to send regular messages and photos so you know how your pet is doing. Creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets is very important to me. Because of my 7 years of experience working in a veterinary clinic, I’m comfortable reading animal behavior, administering medications, handling nervous pets, and responding calmly in stressful situations if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medications, walk schedules, potty routines, and any special care requests so pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
About: I am a very loving person all around. I have many years and experience in pet sitting and in pet therapy, rescue and fostering. My friends and family trust me completely to take care of their animals. Myself and my husband and side kick Bob, love all kinds of fur babies and decided to turn our passion into a business, where both of us have the pleasure of meeting you, your pets, and doing drop in visits in your home. Mostly, we will treat and love your fur babies just like they are our own. I for sure will make visiting your home and your pets a top priority. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to meet your needs. I have a safe and clean environment. I have plenty of toys and cat treats. I have lots of playtime and keep a regular routine for them. I get down to their level and give them lots of love and attention, as I would with your pets as well. I also have a husband who is a great cat daddy and is a wonderful wingman and he loves animals including dogs as much as I do. We would treat our pet sitting responsibilities seriously, as well as respecting your home and pets for pet sitting.
About: When my friends go on vacation, I am the first person they call to petsit! Animals warm up to my calm demeaner quickly, and I've been told by pet owners that their shy animals have never been so friendly to a new person so fast before. I have experience caring for cats & kittens, dogs, and birds. I am very patient and gentle with animals, seeking to understand their physical and vocal cues to know what they need. I am also an expert at playing fetch and tug of war with dogs, and my expertise with cat feather wands means the cat usually gets tired before I do. I love walking, so it's a bonus if your pup wants to come with! I am a graduate student at St. Thomas with a part-time tutoring job during the school year, so I have plenty of gaps in my schedule to care for your pet. This means that I can spend time during the day, night, and weekend with your pet, including returning home for potty or play breaks in between tutoring or classes, depending on the needs of your pet. I am also available to stay overnight with your pet, so long as they don't mind helping me with my homework! I am vigilant and aware while pet sitting, making sure I know where your pet is and never leaving any doors, gates, or windows open. For example, my friend lives in an apartment and has two kittens who like to escape into the hallway, so I also create a barrier when I open his front door to ensure they stay inside. His windows also don't have screens, so I make sure they are always shut and locked up tight. I love interacting with and talking with animals when they are around, so even if I am busy working on my own projects, I'll take frequent breaks to catch up with your pets and give them attention.
About: I’ve had a deep love for dogs ever since I was a little girl. Growing up with two dogs, I learned early on the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. As an adult, I’ve continued that passion by dog-sitting for friends over the years, helping them out while they’re on vacation. I understand that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re a family member. That’s why I make it a priority to ensure they’re well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, showered with love and attention while they’re in my care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just a cuddle session on the couch, I’m committed to giving them a safe, happy, and loving environment. I’m also more than happy to help with bathing and grooming if needed, ensuring your pup looks and feels their best. I work full-time during the week but am off every Friday this summer, which makes me available to care for your pet, especially if you're planning a weekend getaway. Whether it’s a quick trip or a longer vacation, I’m here to ensure your pup gets all the attention, love, and care they need while you’re away. I live in a townhouse in a wonderful, dog-friendly neighborhood where the association is supportive of pets. The area has plenty of grassy spaces where your dog can play, explore, and enjoy some outdoor time. It's a peaceful, safe community with multiple walking paths nearby—perfect for daily walks and adventures. Whether your dog loves to explore or just needs a quiet spot to relax, they’ll feel right at home here. I believe in providing a fun, safe, and loving environment for your pet while you're away.
“Yascha has been doing regular walks with our dogs for a few weeks now. Dogs are super excited when he arrives. Yascha has been very responsive and has been accommodating to all requests (harness type, protective dog clothing in inclimate weather, wiping dogs feet etc). Would definitely recommend Yascha!”
About: Hi! I'm Zaffer. I do pet sitting full time which means I can give your dog real, undivided attention, not a rushed 15 minute drop-in squeezed between other commitments. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting, and overnight stays at your home. I have hands-on experience with dog walking and pet sitting, and I'm comfortable with dogs of different energy levels and temperaments. I've fostered dogs with behavioral issues and volunteered at dog shelters, so I'm no stranger to nervous, reactive, or high-needs dogs. I know how to read a dog's body language and adjust rather than push. I'm calm, attentive, and take routine seriously. Feeding times, medication schedules, walk routes, and any quirks your dog has are things I'll follow exactly as you lay them out, not "close enough." Because I'm home for most of the day, I'm able to offer extended, low-stress visits or overnight stays where your dog stays in their own space, keeps their normal environment, and doesn't have to adjust to unfamiliar dogs or a new house. No boarding facility, no other pets, just your dog in their own home, on their own schedule. I check in regularly, I'm responsive to messages throughout the stay, and I send photo/video updates so you're never left wondering how things are going. Whether it's a quick walk, a few daily visits, or a longer overnight stay, my goal is to keep your dog's routine as close to normal as possible: same walks, same meals, same schedule, so the biggest thing that changes while you're away is who's holding the leash. Pet care is my full-time focus right now, so it's built into the rhythm of my whole day rather than squeezed in around something else. Mornings typically start with a walk, then check-ins or visits throughout the day depending on what each dog's routine calls for, feeding times, medication, playtime, whatever they're used to. Since I'm home most of the day, I have the flexibility to be consistent and responsive rather than working around a 9-to-5. For drop-ins and walks, I follow your instructions closely: feeding times, walk routes, medication, anything specific to your dog's needs or quirks. For house sitting and overnight stays, I treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, keeping doors locked, sticking to your dog's normal schedule, and making sure they have consistent company rather than long stretches alone. I check in regularly and send photo or video updates so you always know how things are going, and if anything unexpected comes up, I contact you right away rather than guessing. I'm also comfortable with dogs that have behavioral issues or anxiety, from my time fostering and volunteering at shelters, so I pay attention to body language and adjust rather than push a dog past what they're comfortable with.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I've helped take care of them, walk them, and kept them company. I'm detail oriented and do my best to do everything according to direction. I'd be happy to help take care of your animal. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to work with your pets! I'm available most days, best in the afternoon. I'm detail oriented and will make sure your dogs are leashed or harnessed the way they should be. When I'm walking I try to be very aware of my surroundings and will keep up that care with your dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies since I was little. I treat them all like my own. If your animal has been requests I can accommodate. I work from home at night time so any time works for me since I have a yard for them to play and live life I don’t mind hosting them in my own or going to the clients home to assist the animals I take my own dog on a walk three times a day so if I am taking care of your dog they will get enough walks as well
About: I grew up around livestock and all sorts of other animals. I recently lost my own dog but when I had her I used Rover to help find a regular dog sitter for when I went on teacher conferences. I recently became trained in dog and cat CPR and first aid. I am not afraid to give medications to an animal and have taken care of dogs that have special needs such as anxiety, fear of fireworks, fear of guns and high energy. I am currently on a teaching schedule but after memorial day I will be available most days. If I am away during the summer it's usually just during the day. They will take first priority, getting food, water, any medications prescribed and taken to go outside will all take place before my needs. I can provide a kennel at my home and kennel trained my own dog understanding the process for that.

“Cassondra was amazing from start to finish !! It was our first time using Rover and it went great. We did a meet and greet for a 1/2 day before the stay. This helped us feel it was going to be a good fit for Gertie and her and her family. We were on a cruise and we loved getting pictures and updates on how Gertie was doing. Gertie had a great time and loved her time there. We will for sure book her again in the future. Thanks so much !! Highly recommend !!”

“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”

“I typically book with a daycare center but due to the amount of time we would be gone, we feared he would suffer from anxiety and loneliness. So we decided to book with a home daycare to ensure he received more personal care. They did an awesome job with Jake. Seemingly, he was treated like their own with lots of cuddle time. They provided daily updates and included cute photos. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely use them again.”
“Aimee and Robert were great with a last minute booking for our nervous girl. In the middle of moving it was so nice to know Ruby was taken care of. She came home relaxed and happy.”
“Kirsten was so patient with me...she cared for my senior dog over a long holiday weekend, with storms. Emma felt safe while spending time in her family and enjoyed the big fenced yard. Emma was allowed to sleep in the bedrooms at night. Kirsten sent pictures daily so I cld be reassured Emma was doing well. I wld highly recommend Kirsten.”
“Excellent care! We know our dog is excited to stay with Jeremie and Kelly and he comes home happy and tired out from having fun. It’s so great he has their dog to play with and lots of attention from their family as well. This is definitely a home away from home for him!”

They loved the large fenced in grass yard— they were in dog heaven! Kelly sent photos and kept me posted on how my pups were doing. I so appreciated the updates since Kelly graciously took them at the last minute (due to a funeral in the family). I will definitely contact Kelly again— thank you!”
