“Stacy was wonderful! I recently moved to MN and had a family event in Texas I needed to go to. It was the first time I would be leaving my dog with someone who wasn’t immediate family and I was very nervous. Stacy was so kind and patient with my dog and sent pictures and updates everyday! They really helped my anxiety. I will def check with Stacy the next time I need to go out of town. Luna had a great time and was calm and tired when I got her home. She also got along well and played with Stacy’s dog Gus and Luna usually just ignores other dogs. Thank you so much Stacy! You rock!”

“My pup loves Cynthia and her place! Lots of dogs to socialize with, tons of exercise in the big and fenced backyard, plus abundant love and care is given to all the 4-legged friends. Just between you and me, I think my pup would rather live there than go home with me! A good problem to have 😁 Can’t recommend enough!”

“From here on out I will be choosing Drew to watch my pup!! He was excellent and very communicative especially since my pup has never stayed with someone other then us overnight drew made him very comfortable and loved like one of his own!”

“Absolutely could not be happier or more grateful for Margarita and her family. The whole process was super easy and after the meet and greet I left feeling 100% confident that bubba would be in great hands. Then traveling back home from Sioux Falls, we get hammered by blizzard conditions. The last 20 miles before finally giving up, I could barely see the lines on the road, let alone any cars in front of me. So we pulled off and checked in to a hotel. Thankfully Margarita was SUPER understanding and reassuring. I was in a bit of a panic worrying about this and that, and the fact that Loki didn't have to be one of those worries was a huge relief. When we finally made it back the next day I could tell he wasn't super thrilled about leaving, which is always what you want to see. (And with that massive yard, I can't blame him!) Will definitely be "boarding" with her and her family again in the future! Super communicative with updates and photos to put our minds at ease.”

“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!”


“Andrea was very friendly and you could tell she loves dogs! Our dog Charlie loved his stay and the price point was great! Andrea updated us with pictures and text messages everyday. Will definitely have Charlie stay with Andrea again!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Cassondra was awesome with our dogs! She did everything to make sure our dogs were taken care of and she even gave them a bath! She sent picture updates during the stay as well. We will definitely contact Cassondra again in the future!”

“I had a great experience leaving my 2 dogs with Donna. One of my dogs is older and anxious but she took excellent care of him. She has a big yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and get exercise. I loved that she sent pictures and updates every few days while I was gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Matt and Angela made my small nervous dogs feel so welcome, much better than the boarding experience last time I left home. Matt let them roam just like at home, cleaned up a puppy mess, and gave me awesome updates! I was also new to the Rover process and thought I had booked him last month but hadn’t, and he was flexible and understanding.”

“Jasmine did a great job taking care of Arlo and helped me out with my last minute request! She sent me updates and pictures throughout his stay. I would definitely recommend having her watch your pet !!”

“We loved using Cheyann to watch our dog with my sister’s dogs while we went on a 10 day vacation together. She sent pictures to us along the way so we could see how the dogs were getting along. Thank you Cheyann for taking such good care of our dogs (and duck!).”

“I thought Britney was great and I love the service she sent me a picture of my little cat everyday and how the day went with my cat I just was very impressed with your service and Brittany she's a real sweetheart.”

“We have some not so easy kitties with pills and complications, but Aly has been the first sitter where we could completely put our minds at ease while on vacation. One of our cats is shy - he's literally never come out of hiding for any pet sitter before, but he came out for her. We will be rebooking with her for as long as she will have us!”

“Stacy was wonderful with my two cats! I’ve never actually dropped them off with anyone before, so this was a first for me. Stacy made the process painless, and was available over a holiday weekend, which was a lifesaver! She provided lots of updates each day, including photos. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Angelina did a wonderful job checking in on my three cats while I was on vacation. She sent lots of photos and updated me on how my cats were doing while I was away, which took a lot of weight and stress off my shoulders. Thank you very much! Would happily request again for any drop-in needs.”


About: I am a Retired Veterinary Technician. I have owned cats for 30 years. I can care for those with special needs. I have a large fenced in yard for those that like a bit of outdoor time. I have spacious rooms with large windows if that's what your kitty prefers. A clean and safe environment with lots of attention. I have been trusted to enter my neighbors' homes and care for their furry family members. Whether daily or while you take a much needed vacation.
About: When it comes to pets, I know they can be our babies and we want the best care for them. I love all size dogs, big ones don't scare me they only seem to have big hearts. I'd love to help out and check on your fur babies while you are away or at work. I am available early in the morning before I go to work to check on pets and feed them and in the early evenings. Weekends I have more time to visit and care for pets. If you have specific crate instructions, I will follow them to ensure your pet is safe and happy. I live on a couple of acres, but do have dog leash and cable if needed.
“Araya watched our senior chihuahua while we were out of town, and I am so grateful for her help. Our boy is often cautious around new people, but he immediately fell in love with Araya, and it was clear she has a huge gift for making pets feel comfortable and safe. Araya sent regular updates while we were away, and even extended her visits by an extra day to accommodate a last second disruption in our schedule. I cannot recommend Araya highly enough. Thank you so much for everything!!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. From a young age I’ve helped family and neighbors take care of their pets. I currently have a black German Shepard puppy, a 10 year old Alaskan Malamute, and an orange American Shorthair cat all of which are girls. I’m currently working part time in the evenings Monday through Thursday so I’ll have plenty of time for taking care of your fur babies! I don’t work Friday through Sunday which leaves my weekends open! I’m very attentive to my animals and I’ll be the same with your animals. I’m well equipped to different to different energy levels as I’ve had a variety of different breeds. If your pet stays with me, I have a fenced yard. My animals are friendly as well.
About: I have had two cats for 12 years which is where my experience has come from. This ranges from litter boxes, play time, vet visits, and working with the animal to ensure they feel safe and cared for. I had two dogs growing up, and know the bare bone basics. I’m always open to learning and I do so quickly. With all the pets I’ve had throughout my life, I know how much of a family member they are. I will do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, and the human feels at ease. My full time gig is 7am-3pm M-F. During the week services will be completed after 3pm. Weekends I have an open schedule and my times are more flexible. I believe pets are family members, and I treat them with love, respect, and care like they are my own. I care about their stress levels, if they trust me, and keeping that trust. It’s fun to watch their personalities show, but also respect their boundaries. I’m not shy with cleaning up messes, taking initiatives, and keeping lines of communication open. I love receiving pictures from pet sitters to see how happy and cared for my fur babies are and will be sure to return the favor to other pet parents.

“Shylina is great! She has cared for our Theo several times and done a wonderful job. She keeps us in the loop on how he’s doing, of any changes and updating us on things we are concerned about while away. She even cleaned up the litter around the litter box without being asked. We highly recommend her.”

About: Can work on any potential training that you are in the process of working on. I have been raised around dogs my whole life. Ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I have two dogs of my own, and they are my everything. I will take care of your dogs like they are my own. I am currently working part time, and will eventually be returning to school, so your pups will get plenty of play time and the exercise they need! I have a fenced in back yard, where my two dog friendly pups play. They love other dogs, and will keep your pup very entertained!
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.
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.

“Madysen was great! She cared for our elder cat who needs medication daily. She sent us updates and photos daily and made us feel much more comfortable leaving our baby home alone.”

About: I have 5 amazing dogs of my own, 1 pitbull, 2 American Eskimo mini and 2 Pomeranians. I had 2 liter of puppies from my dogs (1st liter was 10 pups, 2nd liter was 5 pups) and was able to raise them well for their furever home. I run a lot, so if your dog needs to exercise, you can count me in. Or simply needs a rest day, or any kind of special needs, I’m your girl. I work full time and have my own babies to care for, but I’m a super dog mom so I’m pretty flexible and prepared for anything. With my own experiences of owning 5 dogs, and raising 15 puppies, I feel like that should speak for itself. I do have a fenced in yard, I love dogs and I want them to be happy while they're with me or their own homes.

“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.”

“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!”

“Margarita has been a wonderful, flexible, accommodating, understanding, champion for me and Spike. He is having a good time there. When I get him he is always a happy puppy and I can tell he is well taken care of. He comes home and he likes to take naps afterward, poor puppy having so much fun with her dogs and her cute youn son. Nice open space for Spike to walk on leash and not worry about his safety. Definitely booking again (already have the reservations). It’s nice to know that my 11week puppy has a loving and caring place that takes care of him while I am at work.”

“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!”

“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.

About: I'm familiar with several different sizes and breeds of pets. Some dogs, some cats. I'm used to always having a pet around. I enjoy spending time with pets.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for years—both my own and for friends and family. I'm comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I have hands-on experience with anxious and nervous dogs, and I take a calm, patient approach to help them feel safe and secure. Whether it’s energetic puppies who need structure or senior pets who need a gentler touch, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I’m great at reading body language and adjusting to each pet’s comfort level. Your pet will always be well loved and well cared for. I am currently home from college until August, so my availability is pretty wide open! I can provide around the clock care for any pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d expect for my own. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, or favorite toys and spots to relax. I’m attentive to safety, making sure doors are secure, leashes are clipped properly, and pets aren’t exposed to anything that could harm them. I also prioritize trust by communicating clearly and regularly—asking questions when needed and making sure you feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

“Our dog is super anxious and apprehensive around new people, but he warmed up really quick to Jessica! She was really patient with him and it's obvious she has a ton of experience with animals. I fully trust her to take great care of him while we're gone on an upcoming vacation!”

About: I’ve had dogs consistently in my house since I was born. We have had big german shorthairs, as well as miniature schnauzers so I’m accommodating to any size dog, and can easily take care of them. I’ve just returned from school abroad and am back looking for a full-time job but in the meanwhile will be petsitting/walking/etc. whenever is asked of me. I have a pretty free schedule, so most any booking should work. I would be super considerate of any rules applied by the owners whether in the clients home or mine. I just have a lot of fun bonding and playing with animals, so I’m happy to perform all pet care servcies.

About: i have watched animals my whole like and i love to be around them. i have many families that continue to trust me with their pets and i love them. i enjoy being around animals so much and always have a great time playing with them. i also love taking them for walks because it helps us both! im currently working part time and only have one in school class so i have a lot of free time whenever you need it. i also can make things work and move things around if needed. i am very good with animals and will be able to make sure they go to the bathroom and get plenty of water food and exercise.
About: I have grown up my whole life around animals. When I was younger, I had smaller animals like hamsters and rats. In high school, my dad did get an English bulldog and he was my best friend! When we first brought him home, I took him to training and I loved every second of it! I would watch him almost every weekend for my parents. My sister also had a dog, her and I worked opposite schedules so I would take care of him during the day. I also took him through training as a puppy. So if you have a puppy and want them to learn a thing or two I can help! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats with my boyfriend. So I really understand how much your fur baby’s mean to you as I have some at home! I am working part time and looking for something to do with my other time! I’m available all day Wednesdays, Fridays after 2pm and just about every weekend! Something that I live by is treating others animals like your own! I am also very big on respect. Letting me into your home to take care of your fur baby’s means a lot to me. I love to just hang out with furry friends or go play outside, which ever you need from me I will do! I really would like to make sure you and your animals can trust me! Whether you have cameras in your home or need a check in hourly, I’m willing to do whatever you need to trust me in your home. Having that trust bond can really make or break a sitter! Besides trust I also value on making sure your animal is safe.

About: I’ve been around animals almost my whole life and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I currently have three cats of my own, but I also grew up with dogs starting at the age of 5 and have experience caring for pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I regularly help take care of friends’ and families cats and dogs as well, so I’m very comfortable working with animals outside of my own home! I’ve cared for senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience, as well as dogs with injuries who require close attention and gentle care. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and laid back, I’ll always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re my own. I currently work full time between the hours of 8:30-4 with two days off during the week. I manage my own schedule so I am very flexible and can be wherever, whenever I am needed! I’m an early bird so I’m ready for any needs no matter the time of day: mornings, afternoons or evenings! I am also available and easily flexible on weeks, holidays or long vacations! In my own home, I have set routines for my fur babies. They get fed at the same time every morning and every, water is refreshed every day, and their litter box gets cleaned two times a day. This is the same when I help to take care of friends and families animals; they deserve as much care as my own do! I follow every instruction and maybe even take it a step further because I know that if those were my babies being taken care of, I would want the best care possible for them. I’m very good at sticking to set routines as my priority is always pets come first! I believe this is how every fur baby should be treated and make sure they are comfortable and set in their own homes.

About: I have always had dogs in my life. From a black lab hunting dog, to an elderly chihuahua, and a puppy Siberian husky! I currently have two cats (mama & kitty) that I rescued from a foster home. Pets are the best!! I’m a retired US Air Force officer, so I have a lot of flexibility. I enjoy walking and taking my grand-dogs to the dog park. I’m home a lot because I’m retired from the military, so I have a ton of flexibility. So, I can spend a lot of time with your pet.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my unique combination of skills in puppy training and senior dog care. I use positive reinforcement methods to help puppies develop good habits and social skills, ensuring a smooth transition into adulthood. For senior dogs, I provide compassionate care that includes tailored exercise and medication management to keep them comfortable and healthy. My personalized approach and commitment to open communication ensure that both you and your furry friend feel secure and cared for while you're apart. On workdays, I start my morning with walks and playtime before my shift, setting a positive tone for both myself and the you fur babies! In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s routine to minimize stress. I follow their established schedules for feeding, walks, and playtime, while ensuring that their space remains clean and organized. I provide plenty of attention and affection, and I keep the home environment safe by being mindful of potential hazards. I also communicate regularly with pet owners, sending updates and photos to keep them informed and connected to their furry friends. Whether in my home or a client’s, my goal is to provide a nurturing and engaging experience for every pet in my care.

“I highly recommend Gabriella. She was amazing with my dog, walking him twice today and showing incredible patience and care throughout. My dog can be a handful, but she handled him so well. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. Thank you for your excellent service!”

“Stacy was wonderful! I recently moved to MN and had a family event in Texas I needed to go to. It was the first time I would be leaving my dog with someone who wasn’t immediate family and I was very nervous. Stacy was so kind and patient with my dog and sent pictures and updates everyday! They really helped my anxiety. I will def check with Stacy the next time I need to go out of town. Luna had a great time and was calm and tired when I got her home. She also got along well and played with Stacy’s dog Gus and Luna usually just ignores other dogs. Thank you so much Stacy! You rock!”

“My pup loves Cynthia and her place! Lots of dogs to socialize with, tons of exercise in the big and fenced backyard, plus abundant love and care is given to all the 4-legged friends. Just between you and me, I think my pup would rather live there than go home with me! A good problem to have 😁 Can’t recommend enough!”

“From here on out I will be choosing Drew to watch my pup!! He was excellent and very communicative especially since my pup has never stayed with someone other then us overnight drew made him very comfortable and loved like one of his own!”

“Absolutely could not be happier or more grateful for Margarita and her family. The whole process was super easy and after the meet and greet I left feeling 100% confident that bubba would be in great hands. Then traveling back home from Sioux Falls, we get hammered by blizzard conditions. The last 20 miles before finally giving up, I could barely see the lines on the road, let alone any cars in front of me. So we pulled off and checked in to a hotel. Thankfully Margarita was SUPER understanding and reassuring. I was in a bit of a panic worrying about this and that, and the fact that Loki didn't have to be one of those worries was a huge relief. When we finally made it back the next day I could tell he wasn't super thrilled about leaving, which is always what you want to see. (And with that massive yard, I can't blame him!) Will definitely be "boarding" with her and her family again in the future! Super communicative with updates and photos to put our minds at ease.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Cassondra was awesome with our dogs! She did everything to make sure our dogs were taken care of and she even gave them a bath! She sent picture updates during the stay as well. We will definitely contact Cassondra again in the future!”

“I had a great experience leaving my 2 dogs with Donna. One of my dogs is older and anxious but she took excellent care of him. She has a big yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and get exercise. I loved that she sent pictures and updates every few days while I was gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Matt and Angela made my small nervous dogs feel so welcome, much better than the boarding experience last time I left home. Matt let them roam just like at home, cleaned up a puppy mess, and gave me awesome updates! I was also new to the Rover process and thought I had booked him last month but hadn’t, and he was flexible and understanding.”

“We loved using Cheyann to watch our dog with my sister’s dogs while we went on a 10 day vacation together. She sent pictures to us along the way so we could see how the dogs were getting along. Thank you Cheyann for taking such good care of our dogs (and duck!).”

“Elizabeth was wonderful and very accommodating! If we ever are in Red Wing and need boarding we will definitely call Elizabeth! She is a great communicator and sent pictures of our Buster and Teddy!!”
