“Amy was great! This was my first time having someone watch my dog besides my parents so I was very nervous about leaving my pup with someone new. I received pictures daily and when I arrived to pick her up she was so happy and wanted to show me all the toys she's been playing with all week. She can't wait to stay with Amy and Danielle again!”

“Apollo seemed to have a great time. He got walks and seem to integrate well with their family. He was exhausted when he got home which is the sign of a great time! Pictures were sent when I requested them as I was nervous as it was his first time away. I will definitely bring him back. Thank you for taking great care of him.”
“Teddy loves staying at David’s house. He loves playing with his puppy friends. He gets good exercise. David knows how to encourage Teddy to eat. We get pictures and updates. We are repeat clients. We highly recommend David for your dog’s boarding needs.”
“Nicole and her family are so kind and loving. They did such an amazing job watching Pepper when we were out of town. Nicole sent daily updates and photos, which were fun to see each day. I felt so comfortable knowing our pup was being well cared for and I was able to relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about her. Thank you so much, Nicole and family!!”
“My dog has stayed with Renee and James three times now, and each visit has been wonderful. She gets excited the moment we arrive, which gives me peace of mind knowing she feels comfortable and happy there. Renee and James send regular updates and photos, so I always know how she’s doing. I really appreciate the consistency and care every single stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Renee and James to anyone looking for reliable, loving sitters.”
“Awesome experience with Brit and Matt. Thank you so much for letting Monroe take care of you for a weekend. I can tell she had a great time because she is exhausted.”

About: I’ve been taking care of my family's, friends, and others dogs since I was about 12 years old. I love animals with my whole heart and want nothing that to provide your pet a safe warm place to stay while you enjoy your vacation. I work full time during the week in the city, so I don’t get home until after 4pm. I spend most of my weekend outside playing in the yard or doing yard work. Week days I take my two dogs for a walk in the morning and at night, and find lots of time to play with them before bed. My partner and I work slightly skewed hours so the dogs are never home alone for more than 8 hours during the week day. We have cameras in the living room and kitchen to keep and eye on the while we aren’t home. When watching your dog I will send you updates as frequently or infrequently as you would like me too. I will treat your pets as if they are one of my own. Mine mean the world to me, so I will treat yours the same. If boarding at my home, your pet(s) must be okay with my two dogs. They are both friendly and love to play, but can also be couch potatoes. By the end of 2026 I will have a fenced in yard. I also live within 20 minutes of a Blue Pearl ER vet clinic.
“Our Coco has been a guest with April and Austin a few times and I’m assured she’s in great hands. I appreciate the photos and videos you receive that confirm she is quite content while I’m away!”
“Dave was great to take care of Zema! He sent regular updates and pictures which is always helpful to know that she is settling in and having a good time. Until next time, Dave!”
“Judy does a great job with Precious. She posted about her playtime and mentioned how she throws the toys around. This was our 3rd time with Judy and would do it again.”

“Jenna is doing a great job checking in on my cat Fury, she makes sure he has food water and give him some love and plays with him! I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”
“Lauren is fantastic and went above and beyond for our kitties! I cannot say enough great things about her. She truly knows cats and was such a good caregiver while we were away!”
About: I’ve been around and helped take care of cats since I was a kid, but I’ve been a sole cat owner for 4 years now and I’ve had her since she was 8 months old. I have her on a daily feeding schedule that I’ve maintained for a few years now; I scoop her litter daily and deep clean her litter box 1-2 times a month; I administer monthly flee treatment and medication after she goes to the vet (and I overall keep up with her routine care); and I make sure she has daily playtime and stimulation. This is the level of care and detail I would provide to your pets because I understand pets are family. I’m excellent at following instructions and I’m adaptable to make sure your pet’s needs are met.
“Rachel is an excellent sitter. She gave us the reassurance our cats were in good care while we were away, and made the two-week trip that much more enjoyable with the added peace of mind. As a fellow two-cat owner, she could anticipate any quirks and needs that may arise. The care plan was well executed, excellent communication, and everything was tidy when we returned. Made it a little less hard to be away from our little guys! Will book again in the future.”
“Danielle came over to take care of/ check on my super senior cat while I was out of town for a long weekend. She took care of all the things I asked of her to do for my kitty. I would rebook her if I ever need a sitter again.”
“Kevin was great and he was able to help us last minute with keeping an eye on our kitten! Was responsive and punctual. Highly recommend him and we will certainly be booking him in the future!”
“Alisha was communicative and reliable, as always! She respects each of our cat’s personalities (one timid, one playful) and makes sure all of our critters get what they need!”
About: From dogs to cats (and even a bearded dragon), I've done it all. I understand how nerve racking it can be to leave your animal with someone you barely know so I'll do the following to make sure you can feel confident your pets are being well taken care of while you're away: - Multiple updates throughout the day confirming eating and bathroom habits - Pictures of the activities we've been up to - A detailed daily plan developed to make sure we never miss a beat with their normal routine Reach out so we can develop a plan that meets your needs! Im free for walks after work during week days which is typically around 5 PM (depending if I'm working from home or on-site). On Thursday and Friday, I have midday availability depending on travel distance - reach out and we can talk through details! I'm much more free on weekends so with notice I can make just about anything work! As an owner of a very large (German Shepard/Great Pyr mix) dog, I'm very familiar with the worries of a pet parent. I will treat your animal like my own and can handle even the largest of them (including pullers and reactive dogs).
“I just love April and how she takes care of my cat! I’m so glad I found her. She has cats also so she always tries different fun things with my cat. I like that. And if I didn’t want April all to myself I would tell everyone to hire her for their pets…! She is great!”
“Brianna was right on time everyday and every evening to make sure Lucy was fed and walked and lived even though the weather was extremely hot all week. I loved the wonderful pictures she sent and the ongoing communication she gave me reassured me that Lucy was in great hands! Nancy”
About: I have experience working with all kinds of animals! I have a tortoise, four ducks, and three dogs at home. I’ve had many other animals in the past! I’m currently working part-time split shifts at an elementary school. I recently got a second job at a daycare in Blaine. Before you book with me, know that I won’t be able to stop by mid day during the weekdays! My work hours are 7am-6pm Monday-Friday. Weekends I am available all day! I’m able to provide whatever you will need for me to best take care of your pets! Let me know if there are special accommodations your pet needs!
About: I am comfortable with caring for senior cats and those who need a little extra TLC. I am mostly retired and have plenty of free time available. We have lost two of our furry senior friends over the years. Little Boy passed at age 19 in 2025 and Angel passed at age 17 in 2019. Our vet said they lived such long and happy lives because they were so well-cared for and loved.
“Vickie was so great with our two girls! We loved all the pictures and videos she sent us. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be reaching out to her again! ❤️”
About: I have had dogs & cats as pets since I was a child, and have a lot of experience in caring for all types of dogs/puppies and cats. I live in an apartment and due to space constraints cannot have my own currently - but I very much miss being able to play and take walks with a pup! So this has been best case scenario for that. I work full time on the week days and have the evenings for walks or visits. The weekends are very open for me, as well. I treat every dog and cat I meet as my own, and I have experience with larger breeds that pull and jump. I can adjust to most all situations and personalities.

“Melissa watched Rico on 6/13. Rico is shy and somewhat anxious. Melissa did a great job of making him feel comfortable outside before bringing him in to meet her other dogs. Melissa did a great job at providing me with up-to-date information. Rico had a great day at Melissas!”
“I have no idea where to start with this review! Adam and Leang are such a wonderful couple and they were so good with Lilo. They sent me photos and videos to see how she was doing throughout the day which definitely made me feel at ease and you can definitely tell they love and care for their animals since they treated mine like their own. After our meet and greet Lilo was so excited to see her new friends the next day and passed out after her day was done. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Cassie watched my dog for about 2 months every day while I was at work after my dog needed some time to adjust to a new living situation. Cassie was wonderful, she left detailed reports of the day, and my dog really liked Cassie and her dogs. I would absolutely recommend Cassie!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I care for every dog as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and at home. I have experience with a large, active German Shepherd and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. While I do have a resident dog, every pet's comfort and safety comes first. My home allows dogs to be separated when needed, and I'm happy to provide individual walks, feeding routines, and personalized attention so every dog has a positive experience. What sets me apart is my communication and attention to detail. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet's stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home where your pet is treated like family. I have a hybrid work schedule, which means I work from home several days each week and have flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care and prioritize keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether it's morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening cuddles, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience so your pet feels right at home. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get their energy out. I also have a friendly resident German Shepherd who enjoys other dogs, so guest dogs should be comfortable around larger breeds. That said, your pet's safety and comfort always come first. My home is set up so dogs can be separated if needed, and I always supervise introductions and interactions. I'm happy to provide individual walks, feed according to your dog's normal schedule, administer oral medications if needed, and accommodate crate routines if that's what your dog is used to. I will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. We have a toddler in our home (who has grown up with our dog and is respectful), so guest dogs should be comfortable around young children. Safety is my top priority, and I carefully supervise all interactions between pets and family members.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including my own. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, giving oral medications if needed, and caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I adapt to their individual needs and routines to help them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply keeping pets company, I can easily adapt to their normal routine and give them the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and daily routines. I also make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and close supervision to keep them safe and happy while you’re away.
“Maureen is a very animal loving person. She sent a picture and a video. By the info she provided about Studly I knew he really liked her!!! Even when we dropped him off he made himself at home instead of his usual separation anxiety issue. We highly recommend Maureen and will definitely use her again!!!”
About: Our home in Brooklyn Park is ready to host your pet. Having had a Great Dane for almost ten years, we are ready to watch pets in any size range. We have no dogs or cats in the home currently, but are set up to give your pet the best possible experience while you are away! We have experience with senior dogs and dietary restrictions such as raw feeding, as well as giving medications as needed. Currently, both Jackie and I work from home, so there is always someone around during the day. We live right off of a walking trail, so daily walks will be no problem. We have a fenced in yard if your pup likes to be outside. Otherwise they are welcome to hang out with us during the day on one of many dog beds, or on the couch for cuddle time.
“Timber had an amazing time at doggy daycare! Terry and Samantha were wonderful—you can tell they truly care about the animals. He absolutely loved playing with their dog and enjoyed non-stop fun all day. By the time he came home, he was happily worn out! I really appreciated the photo updates and check-ins throughout his stay. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Jennifer was really easy to work with. She responded quickly and provided some great updates. Their whole family was sweet and look forward to having Monty stay with her again.”
“Ryder had a great first visit with Kira today. She sent several pictures throughout the day so I knew that he was doing well and gave me updates. We will certainly be using her for future daycare.”
“Makaila was incredible with my pups, Meeko and Milo! I loved getting updates and pictures—it really made me feel at ease while I was away. You can tell she genuinely cares. I’ll definitely be booking again! Thanks Makaila!”
“I was so thankful that my dog could hang out with Kyle and Coco while we took a long day trip. When our plans changed, Kyle was understanding and accommodating. I would definitely book with Kyle again.”

“Danielle is such a great hit with our boys. They always look forward to seeing her because she takes care of them exactly how we would. She is an exceptional dog sitter/walker.”
“Tamany treated my pup with so much care and he loved spending time with her and her daughter. He got so excited seeing them. He knew that he was going to have a great walk. This was my first experience using Rover and I was so worried about trusting my baby with a stranger. Tamany arranged a meet and greet first to make sure that she would be a good fit. I knew within the first 5 minutes that she would be perfect. Thank you Tamany for treating Remmy like he was your pup! I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

About: I have been a Rover pet sitter since 2023. I will care for cats, small to medium dogs, and small animals. Cats are my speciality. I am also available for dog-walking and dog mid-day let-out. As for small animals, I have experience with guinea pigs, bunnies, and fish. If I haven't had experience with a type of small animal before, please give me very specific instructions and I will thoroughly research the animal and its care before the booking. In my lifetime, I have lived with five cats and four dogs, was the primary caregiver for two cats and my many fish, and helped to care for the other animals throughout their lifespans. Growing up, I attended three summers of horse camp at Camp Kici Yapi and also had one year of English riding lessons. As a young adult, I volunteered at the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire. I have experience with administering tablet, liquid, topical, and eye drop medications, and have been vet-trained to give injected medication such as insulin. I also have experience with specialized diets and with various special needs, and have cared for animals while they were having medical issues. If your pet has some degree of aggression issues, please describe it in your message so I can better determine if I am qualified to care for your pet. Please note that Rover may tell you that I am not available on dates when I actually am if another client is pending a Meet and Greet for a booking with any of the same dates, even if there are no overlapping time slots. Pet sitting is now my full-time job. I have an open schedule and am available from 8am-9pm every day of the week. I am studying to become a translator and I have Japanese lessons three days a week in the evening, but the system has me book time slots every week that can vary, and usually I have enough notice from a client to book the lessons around my pet sitting schedule. However, if I am given shorter notice, I may not be able to move around the lesson times and may have to fulfill an evening visit at an altered time on a particular day. When I arrive for drop-in visits, I hold my supply bag in front of me as I enter the door to prevent cats from escaping. For evening visits, I may also leave a light on at the entrance as another measure against an escape. I store all keys in a designated bag and label them when necessary; I avoid opening the key bag inside the car, where keys could fall into difficult-to-reach places in the car. I maintain the cleanliness of the food and water dishes and litter box each day and clean up any accidents, vomit, or hairballs that I find. If I need to administer oral or topical medication to a shy cat, I will need you to close the doors to certain rooms in the house where the cat can get into more difficult hiding places, and may even need to keep the cat isolated to one room. I will handle old, frail animals more delicately, particularly if I need to grab them for a medication.
About: I cared for puppies all the way up to geriatric dogs, providing love, exercise, companionship, nutrition, comfort, safety, enrichment, routine, attention, socialization, and support for them. I am currently available evenings during the week and all day Saturday and Sunday. I have plenty of time to care for your lovely pets. I am an active, animal-loving person excited to offer a safe, caring environment for your beloved pets. Although my yard isn’t fenced, I always keep dogs on a leash when outdoors to ensure their safety. I live in a wonderful, dog-friendly community with plenty of scenic walking paths—perfect for getting fresh air and exercise. I've shared my life with two incredible dogs who each lived happy, healthy lives to the age of 18 before crossing the rainbow bridge. Their memory inspires me to continue giving love and care to other animals. I'd be honored to look after your sweet fur baby and treat them like part of my family while you’re away.
About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, grew up with and cared for springer spaniels through college. Can’t have my own pups so I dog sit for family/friends whenever I can. Happy to groom, play, walk with your dog. My friends all know me as an animal lover and I’m first on their list for dog sitting or just to check in on their pup. I have no allergies or aversions, any size dog is great. Available most afternoons, daily I go from Maple Grove to Albertville so any place in between is perfect to stop. I have a soft heart for pets and love them all, your pup will be in great care with me. Thank you for caring for your dog! Thanks! During the school year I can only do weekends. From June to August I have a very flexible schedule and lots of time to entertain and exercise your pup. My rescue dog was incredibly anxious when I got her. She tried to get out of her collar all the time. I had to carry her to the car and go very slow with her to start. I am very experienced easing into a relationship with a reactive dog. I have a fenced in backyard that I’m happy to share if that’s what works best for your dog.
About: I love dogs and recently had to say goodbye to my beloved Lab mix, Bear. I’m not ready to bring a new dog into the family yet, but I’m eager to get to know and care for your beloved furry family members! I grew up with a Dalmatian named Pal, a Heinz 57 called Skipper, and have loved many other dogs along the way, including Maddy, Blu, Mercedes, Birdie, and Moomin. I’m currently working part-time and eager to fill some time meeting, playing with, and caring for your beloved pets so you have peace of mind. I’ll come to you and check in with your dog(s), allow them to relieve themselves, take them for a walk, ensure their water bowl is full and give them some loving attention when you can’t be there.

About: I am currently a student at the University of Minnesota studying Animal Science and Veterinary Care, and I am looking to gain additional hands-on experience working with animals. Since I am unable to have pets where I currently live, I am excited for opportunities to care for and spend time with companion animals through dog walking and pet sitting. I have experience caring for family pets, as well as working with dogs in a doggy daycare setting. My experience includes feeding, walking, basic training, cleaning, and providing overall daily care. I am passionate about animal care and would love the opportunity to work with more companion animals while continuing to build my experience in the veterinary field. I am dependable, patient, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently working part-time and taking the summer off from college, which gives me a more flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate additional time to caring for animals. I am hoping to gain more hands-on experience interacting with pets and would love the opportunity to be available and flexible for new clients and their scheduling needs. Through my veterinary studies, I have been learning about the basic needs and proper care required for animals, including health, safety, and daily routines. In addition, I have experience dog sitting for family members and working at a doggy daycare, which has helped me better understand the importance of safe, attentive, and compassionate pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I focus on providing proper exercise, feeding, supervision, cleanliness, and plenty of attention while ensuring their overall safety and well-being.
“Gina went above and beyond while taking care of Hobbes. He wasn't feeling well, and she notified us right away and was willing to do whatever we needed to help het him better. I appreciated how regularly she communicated with us and the sweet pics we received while traveling.”
About: Countless friends and family have asked me to watch their pets while they're out of town especially last minute. I respect and care about each pet, trying to make them as happy and comfortable as possible. I work remotely a few days per week and available on weekends. Schedule can be flexible depending on service. Also tend to be available on holidays. When I visit a client's home, I keep it the same as when I came in. I respect and keep their home clean and try to have the pets as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I have dog sit many different dogs like Huskies and Pomeranians and Golden retriever etc.. small dogs and medium dogs. What I’ve done is walk ,play and feed them and clean up after them. I love spending time with puppies and fully grown dogs. Since I’m in college right now my availability can change but Monday and Wednesday I’m free during 9am to 1pm and Friday after 1pm if anything changes I would just update the schedule for the week I have a fenced yard for dogs that like to go out. I live less then 5 minutes away from a park with a back trail for walks. For clients homes I would definitely like to get a paper or even a text of what you’ll like for me to do some people prefer not even having any walks and rather just want me to accompany their dogs or even just want me to walk their dogs but just keeping me updated would be great I also love taking pictures for owners just to make sure they feel more comfortable.
About: We've had family dogs for the past 11 years but now, we're empty nesters - no dogs or kids. We can provide personalized care for your dog in our home, which includes a large fenced yard. Brenda is retired while Alvin works outside of the home. We work together, allowing us to be flexible with your pup's needs and help your dog to feel comfortable and loved within our care. We have a fully fenced yard, completed various levels of dog training classes and are flexible caring for different pup personalities: sweet, attitude, good listener, bad listener, calm, energetic, easy going, timid, scared, etc.
About: Caring for dogs has been my passion for the last 2 years. I have my own dog, but I am also the one family and friends call to care for their pets. I also work part time for a local animal rescue and volunteer with one other rescue. This has provided me experience with all kinds of dogs. I have fostered over 30 puppies in 2025. I love all breeds of dogs and will love them like their our own. I have basic dog first aid and CPR. I currently work very part time and volunteer at a few organizations. When I am away from the home, it’s for very short periods of time. I can also adjust my schedule according to your dogs needs. I have a large, fenced in yard. The yards surrounding ours are also fenced in. I have plenty of extra crates and supplies, if needed. I have dog seat belts, if your dog likes car rides. I do not require pets to be crate trained, but will offer them a space of their own to decompress and feel safe.

“Apollo seemed to have a great time. He got walks and seem to integrate well with their family. He was exhausted when he got home which is the sign of a great time! Pictures were sent when I requested them as I was nervous as it was his first time away. I will definitely bring him back. Thank you for taking great care of him.”
“Teddy loves staying at David’s house. He loves playing with his puppy friends. He gets good exercise. David knows how to encourage Teddy to eat. We get pictures and updates. We are repeat clients. We highly recommend David for your dog’s boarding needs.”
“Nicole and her family are so kind and loving. They did such an amazing job watching Pepper when we were out of town. Nicole sent daily updates and photos, which were fun to see each day. I felt so comfortable knowing our pup was being well cared for and I was able to relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about her. Thank you so much, Nicole and family!!”
“My dog has stayed with Renee and James three times now, and each visit has been wonderful. She gets excited the moment we arrive, which gives me peace of mind knowing she feels comfortable and happy there. Renee and James send regular updates and photos, so I always know how she’s doing. I really appreciate the consistency and care every single stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Renee and James to anyone looking for reliable, loving sitters.”
“Awesome experience with Brit and Matt. Thank you so much for letting Monroe take care of you for a weekend. I can tell she had a great time because she is exhausted.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Luna has always stayed at a kennel. I don’t think we will be using the kennel anymore! Luna loved every second at Maureen’s! Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my family's, friends, and others dogs since I was about 12 years old. I love animals with my whole heart and want nothing that to provide your pet a safe warm place to stay while you enjoy your vacation. I work full time during the week in the city, so I don’t get home until after 4pm. I spend most of my weekend outside playing in the yard or doing yard work. Week days I take my two dogs for a walk in the morning and at night, and find lots of time to play with them before bed. My partner and I work slightly skewed hours so the dogs are never home alone for more than 8 hours during the week day. We have cameras in the living room and kitchen to keep and eye on the while we aren’t home. When watching your dog I will send you updates as frequently or infrequently as you would like me too. I will treat your pets as if they are one of my own. Mine mean the world to me, so I will treat yours the same. If boarding at my home, your pet(s) must be okay with my two dogs. They are both friendly and love to play, but can also be couch potatoes. By the end of 2026 I will have a fenced in yard. I also live within 20 minutes of a Blue Pearl ER vet clinic.
“Dave was great to take care of Zema! He sent regular updates and pictures which is always helpful to know that she is settling in and having a good time. Until next time, Dave!”
“Melinda was wonderful to work with! She was kind and loving with our puppy, and flexible with our needs. All the photo updates were greatly appreciated. Would want her to take care of our pup again!”
“Jordon and Melissa took great care of our mini golden doodle puppy for a long weekend sending lots of pictures of her having so much fun with the whole family! They were also flexible with our pick up and drop off which we really appreciated.”
