“We had an excellent experience with Cait and Tim! Our pup didn’t have good manners when meeting their family dog but they didn’t seem to be worried. He eventually settled in and he had a great time for his overnight. He was so tired the following day from all the activity at their house. We’d never used a service like this before. We would recommend them 100%!”
“Brianna was wonderful. She was amazing to Nova and treated her like her own. When we had problems at the airport coming back, Brianna was easy to talk to and made delay home less stressful since we knew our baby was in the best hands.”
“KAREN WAS EXCELLENT!!!! Daily exercise, communication and thee best photos! I almost think my dog is sad to be back home!! Her whole family seemed to enjoy taking care of my sweet Delta. I also want to add that I used Rover for the first time, very last minute and Karen was also patient with me :) Hope she is available for our next trip!!!”
“They took such good care of Morgan, we were very anxious about leaving her, she's never been away. They sent me pictures to let me know she was doing well. Thank you so so much!”
“Nicole and Josh are life savers and helped me with my dog Parker last minute while I was out of town. They are such kind and loving people and I can not appreciate them enough for the care they gave my dog. You guys are amazing!! Definitely recommend them to anyone”
“Alexandra did a wonderful job. Very responsive to text messages and provided daily updates. Her residence has plenty of space for dogs to run and have fun. Definitely going to book with her next time we need a sitter. I felt very comfortable that our dog was in good hands.”
“Patricia and Patrick were so amazing! They logged on my dog and treated him like their own! They were great at communicating before and during the visit! They send a few updates and pictures which gave me comfort he was being so well taken care of. I highly recommend Patricia and Patrick and will most definitely be booking with them again!”
“Marie and Mark took great care of my extremely attention needing Basset hound. Sent lots of updates and treated her so kind. Would highly recommend them to watch your pets.”
“Bandy and Chad have been fabulous with our dog Patty. She can be a nervous little dog when she's out of her normal environment and they've been so patient and loving to make her feel so at home. We are so relieved and thankful that we've found such reliable sitters with Brandy and Chad. Patty will definitely be going back and we know she'll look forward to it!”
“James and Lauryn were clearly affectionate toward Lila and immediately brought her into their family. She was well taken care for and tended to as if she were their own.”

“Dax spent the night at Anna's because my wife and I were in my sister's wedding. Anna is very responsive and kept us informed of Dax during our wedding. Anna was very accommodating for us too. We had to drop Dax off early in the morning and we picked him up early in the morning too. If we need to drop off Dax again, we will try Anna again.”
“Our dog Leena has a great time and was exhausted when we picked her up. Alisha and Cameron and their family sent a lot of updates and clearly spent a lot of time the pups. Would definitely recommend and plan to send our dog to visit them again in the future!”
“Abbie and her family took great care of our puppy. It was our first time leaving him with someone we didn’t know and we could not be happier. She sent many updates and picture and took great care to make sure she knew all of our dog’s needs. We could relax knowing our pup was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend Abbie!”
“Suki's first time with Lisa could not have been better! Lisa and her family were flexible and accommodating of our evolving schedule and took extra time to meet with us the day before to get everyone comfortable. Suki seemed right at home and was a very happy pup when we picked her up. We look forward to working with Lisa again!”
“Cassie took care of our two mad Airedale terriers for ten days and they came home happy and healthy. We are grateful for the care she gave them, and the great pictures she sent. Cassie is now our go-to sitter, no question!”

“Baily was Amazing! She took care of our cat while we were out of town on two separate occasions. Our cat had an unexpected tooth extraction before our 1st trip, and Baily was able to adjust her schedule to feed him for every meal because he couldn't eat dry from the machine. Her flexibility enabled us to make our trip! Extremely reliable, with fantastic communication, and photo updates with each visit. She took wonderful care of our cat. We were so lucky to find her!!”

“Courtney reliably came twice a day to take care of our fur baby and make sure she was well-fed, had water, and the litter box scooped. We'll definitely request Courtney for future pet sitting needs.”
“Mia was wonderful! She did drop in visits for our cats, while we were on vacation. She checked in often and sent photo updates which was super nice. Gave us peace of mind that our kitties were in good hands. We will definitely book again with Mia!”
About: Being a dog owner is one of the most rewarding experiences to me! I enjoy the love, passion, and intelligence they have. I also understand it can be a lot of work especially when life gets busy, or sometimes you just need someone to stop in and check on them while you are out of town. I am happy to help with a variety of needs! 🙂 I currently work full time with a reasonably flexible schedule! Availability will open up more in a couple of months. Let me know what you are looking for! I completed The Ultimate Canine Communication Masterclass by Larry Krohn, and working on a couple other courses with the intention of eventually getting certified in dog training. A lot of what I learned in those courses relate to proper equipment, dog behaviors and body language, communication, and foundation. Which all play in a role in caring for and keeping your pet safe and having fun!
“Elizabeth did an excellent job caring for my two cats over a long weekend. She was punctual, kind, and quick to learn my cats' specific routines. I have one cat who is quite shy and typically hides from visitors (even family members who visit regularly), but Elizabeth managed to earn his trust on the very first visit. My other cat requires an inhaler twice a day and can be quite squirmy, but Elizabeth administered the dosages without any issues. Elizabeth sent updates after every drop-in visit, complete with cute photos. She even watered my flowers outside. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my pets and my home were in good hands while I was away.”
“Highly recommend! Jessica was so friendly, accommodating, and did a great job to ensure our 2 kitties had a nice place to stay while we were out of town. She gave daily updates and made an effort to make our kitties as comfortable as possible. Will totally book with her again the next time we go out of town!”
“Charlotte did a great job tending to my littles while I was on a work trip. The frequent updates and pics were appreciated. She was neat and respectful staying at my place. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Bri and I am a stay at home momma who can’t wait to have pawsome adventures with your pups! 😊🐶 I have experience in feeding, grooming, walking, administering medication, and ensuring a safe environment for dogs since childhood. This began with my family dogs, which taught me the importance of love and patience with our furry family members, and this mentality has continued into my adult life with my own pups! I am a stay at home momma so I have a lot of availability and flexibility all week long for boarding, daycare, check ins, etc.! I am available for pick up/drop offs between 7am-7pm I have a large yard with a friendly fur baby of my own to keep your pet company!

“Cate and Tim and Ainsley were great to Murphy and their place was a perfect playground. Murphy came home happy and tired. It was our first Rover and she had no stress. Highly recommend them!”
“Orlando and Nicki were very responsive and accommodating. They were welcoming and hospitable. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with them and they took very good care of our pet.”
About: Hi there! I am an avid animal lover with 17 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities, breeds, ages, and energy levels. I have had 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own, 12 foster dogs (not at the same time!) and have cared for many animals through Rover. I offer drop-in and dog walk services in the Hudson/Stillwater area. I work remote and have plenty of flexibility and availability to help fill in when you want a little help caring for your fur family. No upcharges for holidays either! Whether in your home, in your yard, or out and about, the safety of you pet, and their needs are top priority. I have engaged in a variety of dog training courses with my own dog so have no problem maintaining the rules you have in place for you animal/s.
“Karen and her family are absolutely wonderful! She gives us such piece of mind with her knowledge and experience with dogs. I’m an anxious dog mom and I have never once questioned the high quality of care she provides. Wonderful as always - she is our top choice of sitter!”
About: My husband and I have both grown up with pets and have continued caring for animals throughout our adult lives. We have extensive hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, and we currently care for a variety of animals in our home, including fish, a bearded dragon, a leopard gecko, a hamster, and hermit crabs. This has given us a strong understanding of different care needs, routines, and behaviors across species. We’re attentive, patient, and comfortable following specific instructions — whether that’s maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, or helping pets feel calm and safe in a new environment. We truly treat every pet as if they were our own. Because we work from home, pet care naturally fits into our daily routine. We’re around throughout the day to provide attention, playtime, feeding, and companionship, not just quick check-ins. Our flexible schedule allows us to adapt to each pet’s needs, whether that means extra cuddles, medication reminders, or keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. We care for pets as if they are part of our own family. In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play safely. We live on 10 acres, which allows for supervised outdoor time, walks, and fresh air, and we also have a large outdoor kennel available when appropriate for a pet’s comfort and safety. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we focus on consistency, attentiveness, and respect for each pet’s routine. We follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any special requests closely. We make it a priority to be responsive, communicative, and attentive so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re away.
“Jessica and Jacob were very kind and accommodating! I appreciated Jessica's prompt response time and her knowledgeability about dogs! Taji is lookin' forward to his next stay with this lovely family! :)”
“Shelly was awesome. She was flexible when I had to change my dates. There was plenty of open space and other animals for Bear to play with. Shelly also was helping with our potty training since Bear is only three months old. I will use her again.”
About: I've been pet sitting since I was in middle school, and more recently I've been pet sitting for family, friends, and Rover clients. I've had cats my entire life and currently I have a 5 year old dog. I am a stay at home mom, so I am able to watch your pets in my home and give them the loving attention they deserve while you are away. I send updates and pictures as often as you would like. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. I have an unfenced yard and a dog of my own. I have loved cats all my life.
“This was the first time we used Rover. We left Gunner for a daycare day to start. Carolyn and Kristopher were great with Gunner. Carolyn wrote down all the details of Gunner’s normal routine and his particular needs. He came home very tired which was a win. We will be using them again in February for a longer stay. So thankful we found such wonderful people to leave him with.”
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, elderly dogs & just about everything inbetween. Currently pet free & enjoy meeting new furry friends. Enjoy long walks & pampering pets. I’m newly retired & have time to spare. Pet care keeps me active & entertained. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality & teaching them new tricks. I live near a walking path that allows for long dog walks & lots of fresh air. I have pet sit in others’ homes for years & have references as needed. It’s whatever works best for your furry friends.
“Brianna has been such a huge blessing for our family and for our pup, Vince. He absolutely loves going to her house – her kids are so sweet with him and he’s become part of the little pack with her dogs. You can tell she really understands dogs and manages the energy in her home so everyone feels safe and included. I always feel confident dropping him off because I know he’s supervised, loved on, and genuinely having fun. We’re really thankful to have found someone we can trust with our boy during long work days and trips. Highly recommend Brianna if you want your dog to have a second home.”
About: Please note*** I cannot board pets where I live, all pet sitting (days and overnight) is done at your residence. Hello! I've had dogs and cats all my life. I am the type to keep my dogs active whether it be playing fetch in the yard or throwing the stick in the lake for them to fetch. I believe in lots of play toys and chewys so they never get bored. I also understand the dog who might be more calm, maybe a little shy and likes time alone, and that is very understandable. I am a retired nurse and know pretty well the signs and symptoms of pain or discomfort. I understand the importance of proper nutrition and availability of fresh water. I lost my 14 yr. old lab to old age 2 years ago, and just recently got a new yellow lab puppy here in March. I really missed having a travel companion! I'm a unique pet/house sitter in that I travel in my beautiful Canadian Roadtrek Campervan and can house "watch" while taking care of your pets. I do not need to stay in your home. Any additional duties other than "watch" your house can be negotiated- like water a few houseplants, etc. I do ask that you provide a household electric (120V) outside plug in. My small RV uses approx. $2-$3 per day of electricity. I love animals. I have a 3 yr. old yellow Labrador myself! I travel often in my RV and we make great travel partners often stopping at dog parks 2-3 times a day on our adventures. Beau would love to have playmates! Currently I am mobile in the Western AZ / Southeastern CA area. I will come to you. I can stay as long as you need for your pet care - up to 2+ weeks if needed. I can only provide mobile pet/house sitting. I am unable to pet sit in the home I live in. I am a recently retired nurse. I am trained not only in human CPR, but I also have dog and cat CPR training. I have given pets medication, induced vomiting -per instructions while on the phone with a vet tech (after dog ate 1 1/2 lbs of bing cherries - pits and all. Happy ending! :). When I go into a home I find myself scanning countertops and floors for potential hazards for pets - things like medications, foods, hot boiling water on stovetop with handles pointing out, etc... I am constantly monitoring for potential dangers. Sometimes things happen though, unfortunately, that can't be avoided and that's when first aid, CPR, poison control line, and Vet info need to all be available and handy. I ask that all instructions be written down and text/emailed to me 24 hours prior. That way if I have any questions, they can be answered before you leave on your relaxing worry-free vacation!
“Maisy loves going to Julie's. Socializing with the other dogs is invaluable for my pup. Julie's fenced yard is dog heaven. Maisy can dig, romp, chase and be chased. I know Maisy feels at home with Julie.”
About: I have owned dogs and cats my entire life and am grateful for the companionship they bring. I can provide a safe and loving environment while you are away.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. We have fostered 9 dogs in our adult life with two different rescues, and officially adopted a dog in summer 2022, which was our first pet dog as an adult. Currently, we have a cat and dog, so pets that we watch in our home must be cat, dog, and kid friendly. We have a busy household with 3 kids and 2 adults. We have a 1.5 acre lot and love to go on hikes and to fields to run. We have an adult home/off work 4 of 7 days in a typical week. Would love to find someone close who needs our services for overnight boarding, doggy daycare, cat sitting, and drop in services. We will treat your pup as our own and are more than willing to provide any special care needed for any known quirks or known oddity. I am off Tuesdays and weekends. My husband is typically home Wednesdays and weekends. We have a dog of our own who loves to play with other dogs, so exercising the dogs should be easy as long as your dog is dog friendly. We also like to hike and go on walks in the neighborhood. Occasionally go to the dog park, too! Our yard is unfenced, but 1.5 acres. We do have an electric in ground fence if you would like your dog to wear the collar for it, or feel free to bring your own remote e-collar if your dog is used to that. Our yard is unfenced, so we can do a tie out, leash, or electric collar if desired. We do request dogs be crate trained for temporary times when we leave the house

About: I love spending time with dogs and making sure they stay happy, active, and well cared for. Whether it's going on walks, playing fetch, getting plenty of exercise, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I enjoy keeping dogs engaged and comfortable while you're away. I'm dependable and will make sure your dog's basic needs are always met, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love. I understand how important it is to stick to their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I'll treat your dog like they're my own and will provide updates and photos so you can feel confident they're having a great time while you're away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I take my own dog on walks, make time for play and exercise, and ensure she has everything she needs each day. Adding more walks and spending time caring for other dogs fits naturally into my schedule because it's something I genuinely enjoy. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh water, meals if needed, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection.
About: I’ve always been a lover of animals and always had a dog and cat in my house growing up. I’ve worked as a dog groomer for 2 years and miss having the everyday interaction with dogs and cats. I have an emotional support dog of my own, his name is Avett and he’s my little man he came to work at the groomers with me and is friendly with all dogs. Being able to comfort an animal is emotionally fulfilling and being able to treat and cuddle them brings so much joy I love them all as my own. I have a beautiful fenced in yard and home that is able to be a safe haven for your loves when you need help with care. I would love to work with animals again and have the gratifying feeling of caring for them. I’m able to work from home select days which gives me the ability to work with animals. I have a nice fenced in yard with room to run and a wonderful walking trail next to my house to take them on adventures.
About: I work from home so you can have peace of mind that someone has eyes on your beloved pets while you're away! I graduated from UWRF with my pre-vet in Animal Science and spent 2 years as a large animal technician at a facility in Coon Rapids, MN. I train feral Mustangs and have taught my cat tricks too! My sister has let me use her dogs for agility and other dog sports on occasion. I've been farm sitting privately by word of mouth for the past 3 years and am now expanding to Rover. I work from home so it is easy to accommodate all of your pets needs. I have limited hobbies as horses are my primary personality trait. If I'm not at the barn, I'm home reading or in bed watching a K-Drama. I care for all animals as if they were my own. I am a detail oriented person, and follow care instructions accurately. I am also a proficient communicator and calm in the event of an emergency. I am well equipped to care for your pet while you are away, and allow you the peace of mind that they are well taken care of.

About: I have cared for animals ever since I was a child. I am a caretaker by nature after years of working in healthcare. My significant other is a dog lover himself and has experience training labradors and helps out with animal care a lot since he works a lot from home in the garage. I work part-time 3 days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) otherwise I am home with my 2 year old and 13 year old boys. I also have a playful four- year-old yellow lab female.

“I needed someone to give my pup exercise. Olivia was great. She took him on daily walks, at exactly the times we had arranged, and sent me photos, so I could see he was being well cared for. I would definitely recommend Olivia.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for my own pets, ensuring they’re happy and healthy. I’ve looked after my grandma's cat multiple times and other puppies and kitties for friends. I stand out from other sitters because of my deep passion for animals and my hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs. I love to give extensive play-times when possible, and lots of pets! Whether it’s administering medication for senior pets or providing a nurturing environment for lonely kitties, I’m committed to giving your furry friends the best care possible. I'm currently working part-time as well as attending university, so my schedule may be busy, but I am more than willing to work around it to accommodate for proper pet care. My Sundays are always open and Fridays are usually open as well. Let's work something out! I live in a safe, well-secured apartment complex beside a golf course, so plenty of room to give walks if needed. I also have two kitties with separate rooms, based on if your furry friend needs company or just some alone time! I am committed to ensuring that every pet is happy and healthy and feels safe in its environment.

I'm a unique pet/house sitter in that I travel in my beautiful Canadian Roadtrek Campervan and can house "watch" while taking care of your pets. I do not need to stay in your home. Any additional duties other than "watch" your house can be negotiated- like water a few houseplants, etc. I do ask that you provide a household electric (120V) outside plug in. My small RV uses approx. $2-$3 per day of electricity. I love animals. I have a 3 yr. old yellow Labrador myself! I travel often in my RV and we make great travel partners often stopping at dog parks 2-3 times a day on our adventures. Beau would love to have playmates! Currently I am mobile in the Western AZ / Southeastern CA area. I will come to you. I can stay as long as you need for your pet care - up to 2+ weeks if needed. I can only provide mobile pet/house sitting. I am unable to pet sit in the home I live in. I am a recently retired nurse. I am trained not only in human CPR, but I also have dog and cat CPR training. I have given pets medication, induced vomiting -per instructions while on the phone with a vet tech (after dog ate 1 1/2 lbs of bing cherries - pits and all. Happy ending! :). When I go into a home I find myself scanning countertops and floors for potential hazards for pets - things like medications, foods, hot boiling water on stovetop with handles pointing out, etc... I am constantly monitoring for potential dangers. Sometimes things happen though, unfortunately, that can't be avoided and that's when first aid, CPR, poison control line, and Vet info need to all be available and handy. I ask that all instructions be written down and text/emailed to me 24 hours prior. That way if I have any questions, they can be answered before you leave on your relaxing worry-free vacation!

“We had an excellent experience with Cait and Tim! Our pup didn’t have good manners when meeting their family dog but they didn’t seem to be worried. He eventually settled in and he had a great time for his overnight. He was so tired the following day from all the activity at their house. We’d never used a service like this before. We would recommend them 100%!”

“KAREN WAS EXCELLENT!!!! Daily exercise, communication and thee best photos! I almost think my dog is sad to be back home!! Her whole family seemed to enjoy taking care of my sweet Delta.
