“Emily and her family gave our 4-month old puppy all the love and attention one can hope for when leaving a furry friend for the day. He got to play in a fenced yard with other dogs and came home nice and tired. We’ll definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Finny had a blast! I got updates every day and I could see how happy and content he was while I was on vacation. I was very comfortable knowing he was safe and having a great time, and when he got home he was good and tired. Thank you so much! I would be super happy to bring him back and would highly recommend.”
“Jesse was great! He provided boarding for our dog. He responded quickly to my request for booking, we met the next morning at a dog park so my dog could get to know his dog, and he was very flexible with scheduling drop off and pick up. He sent us a bunch of pictures and videos of our dog while we were away. I would certainly recommend Jesse if you're looking for help taking care of your dog.”
“My boy stayed with Duane and Lauren and had a great time. They are so kind and communicative with pupdates throughout their stay. I have already recommended them to friends and will definitely use them again!”
“Ronalisa is very kind. She has a really nice yard for Spunky and Boss to run around. Very responsive. My dogs enjoyed their staycation with her and her fur babies. Spunky and Boss came home tired and happy. Recommend her 10/10.”
“Nala’s usually quite shy especially with initial meetings but she was immediately fairly comfortable and seemed so relaxed when we came to pick her up. Ben is very thorough with verifying care information and he gives frequent updates. Great communication and great care. We will definitely be requesting their services again!”
“Thanks so much for always taking such great care of Ollie! I truly appreciate knowing he's in good hands, happy and snuggled while I'm away. ❤️”
“Our dog Gatsby has stayed with Edith on multiple occasions and always has a wonderful time! We love all of the updates that Edith sends and we know that he is getting the best of care while we are away. Even when our dog has less than stellar behavior Edith takes it all in stride and keeps us updated. Thank you Edith!”
“Our quirky rescue pup was so well taken care of while we were away! In every update we got it was clear that our dog was feeling more and more comfortable and was left in good hands. We will definitely book again!”
“Jessica was wonderful and super friendly. My dog Bell stayed for a few days and we got the cutest picture updates. Her dogs are so well behaved and Bell was so happy she had friends to vacation with. She came home and slept the rest of the night! Would book again and will recommend her to others!”
“Lucy had a great weekend with Jennifer! She got along great with Oscar. Tick season is pretty bad this year and Jennifer made sure to look over Lucy and keep her tick-free!”
“Our two dogs had a great stay with Michele and her family, and we couldn't be happier with their care! We've had a long-term house and dog sitter who recently relocated away from town, so our dogs had never had the experience of staying away from home without us before. We were a little concerned about how that would go, but right from the start we were reassured by Michelle's friendliness, her evident dog smarts, and her long experience with (sometimes challenging) pups. Before and throughout the boarding process, communication was just right -- clear and relevant, frequent enough to be reassuring but not at all excessive. When we returned home and picked up the dogs, they were in great shape: happy, relaxed, and clearly in no rush to leave Michelle and her family behind :) We'll definitely hope to have them stay again in the future.”
“Margaret took excellent care of our new rescue for a 2 day boarding. She was super easy to communicate with and responded quickly, sent regular updates, pictures, and videos, and clearly goes the extra mile to make sure your dog is well cared for. We will 100% be booking with her in the future for any dog sitting needs!”
“Manu is always so sweet to our puppy. She is so excited to teach her new things and to have her around! She is also so communicative and flexible. We would definitely recommend Manu to anyone looking for puppy care!”
“Thank you Camp Cleda for pet sitting Pumba and Snooki. Snooki came home happy to see me (unlike her last sitter experience). Thank you for the pic updates & for being so responsive. We appreciate your patience with our anxious & sassy senior dogs too, and look forward to boarding with you again. ☺️”
“Helen & Min are absolutely wonderful sitters they welcome our little girl Moxie into there home as if she is a member of her family. Your pets will first class treatment when staying with Helen and Min.”

“Heather took excellent care of Minerva and was great about including thorough notes and updates. I always feel comfortable leaving Minerva in Heather's care because I know I'll return to a happy and healthy kitty!”
“We have had Jen take care of our two cats several times now, and she is the best!! She sends amazing photos so we can see our sweet kitties, but most importantly is meticulous with their care. She goes above and beyond to clean their dishes so they have pristine food and water bowls, make sure they get tons of affection, and have tidy litter boxes. When they have had some hairballs, she has cleaned those up thoughtfully. As a person who adores my pets and is persnickety about their care. I would recommend her highly!!!”
“Vanessa was flexible and understanding with my schedule changes and was dedicated to caring for my fur baby! She sent pictures daily and was great about communicating, including when my kitty began to have some GI issues. Though it wasn't in the plan, she was able to find and administer medication successfully. I was glad to come home to a clean apartment and a contented fur baby. Vanessa has become my kitty's favorite person besides me. I definitely recommend her for your fur baby! :)”
“This was my second time booking with Alissa and she was just as great the this time around. One of my kitties had an accident, and Alissa helped clean up and kept me updated throughout her drop-in on how my cat was doing. She’s very reliable and definitely my new go-to for watching my cats!”
“Allison did a really nice job for us. She provided updates and a few pictures of our cat. It was good to see that he was comfortable with her and seemed to enjoy her company. Everything was as expected when we returned and we'd hire Allison again.”
“Sarah was awesome! Took great care of our kitties, including administering an inhaler for one of our cats. Also was able to coax our very shy cat out of his shell. Definitely recommend her!”
“Sophie was so kind, informative, communicative, and detail-oriented. She took great care of my cat while I was away and provided updates! She also was willing to watch him last minute, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her services!”
“I will continue to book Jennifer again and again because she’s the best sitter from Rover that I’ve found. Every time I use her, she’s such a joy to work with, my cat enjoys her company, and she follows instructions beautifully. I wholeheartedly trust Jennifer for all my pet care needs and cannot recommend her enough!”
“Megan does such a fantastic job and it is very clear that she cares about my boy! I love all the pictures and daily updates - I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of someone to look after their feline friend!”
“We really appreciated Hannah. She was prompt and professional and showed immense comfort around my 3 dogs who had never been let out by someone they didn't know. I'd use her every time!”
“We scheduled Rhiannon for a number of drop-in visits while we were on vacation, and WOW, she was an absolutely amazing fit. She sent us photo updates with each drop-in, gave our fuzzy little friends much-needed attention and playtime, and ensured our cat who had just undergone a tooth extraction was recovering well. We would definitely rebook Rhiannon for all our Rover needs in the future.”
“We love Abigail and Ian. Not only do they walk our two dogs weekly (one of whom is cranky and the other somewhat challenging to walk), but they can always be counted on to take care of our elderly cat when we are away on weekends. They are wonderful!”
“Shatoria was so great with my cats. She is very responsive and a great listener. I had a lot of changes in care instructions, and she handled everything patiently and without any issues. She kept me updated, followed all the details carefully, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I could tell my cats were well cared for and comfortable with her. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”
“Sarah as always took great care of our cat! She is very communicative and always sends photos. We are always very happy when traveling to know our girl is in good hands!”
“Hannah was great! She agreed to do 2 meet and greets since we were moving and came in to feed our kitten (16 year old prissy cat) and got her to take all her meds, no problem! Thank you, Hannah!”
“Joanna was FANTASTIC! The cats clearly enjoyed her company, and she sent wonderful photos, played with the kitty boys a lot, even brushed the cat when we didn’t ask! A+ would recommend!”
“Olivia was amazing! We definitely plan to reach out to her again in the future. Our cats were happy and our apartment was nice when we got home. Would recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter!”

“Manuela was great with our dog and I know our dog loved spending time with her! I was nervous to leave our dog with a new person at first, but Manuela met us beforehand and made sure we were comfortable.

“Thank you for being available to watch Georgia! I You were amazing with communication on how she was doing and also so kind in getting to know and love our dog. Looking forward to rebooking with you soon!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have always had one. I know the dedication and time it takes to give dogs the care and attention they need. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets’ care while they were on trips and I have always found it enjoyable and rewarding. I am currently in grad school and so have flexibility for walks and drop ins! If your pup is comfortable with other dogs, I am happy to welcome them here. We have an extra bed and plenty of toys to share! I have evenings and weekends free, so I am available to play and walk after 4:30pm and on weekends! I have the availability to stop home during my day to let pups out for potty and a play break! I have a pup of my own so your dog will always have company. If necessary, I have a crate that your dog can use to keep them safe. I also have plenty of toys to share :)

“We are very grateful to Tracy. She took care of our adolescent dog with his first experience with daycare. We had a sudden family emergency that required someone to look after our pub. She was open and communicative which was very helpful. Would recommend to others.”

About: Hi! My name is Rona. I grew up on a farm in the Philippines. As a child, my parents always had dogs and cats at home. I’ve experienced taking care of many different types of animals. It was quite challenging but it’s fun! When I came here, we adopted Maggie and Lyka when they were still puppies. Maggie is a 6 year old Pug and Lyka is a 2 year old Boston Terrier. I love them so much! They are both lovable and friendly. Our neighbors and friends have relied on me to groom, walk, feed and bathe their dogs while they were away. My house sits in a shady private area and is surrounded by parks and trails so there will be a lot of running around and play time when your dog is cared for by me. I can do oral medication administration, I have had a senior dog experience and can provide daily exercise for your pups. My schedule is flexible so I can usually take on new dogs at a moment’s notice. I will update you regularly with pictures and videos to give you peace of mind during your time apart. I am working from home so most of my time will be caring for your fur baby. Daycare drop-off no earlier than 6:00 am and pick-up hours anytime in the afternoon. We have a large fenced backyard and our two dogs, Maggie (Pug) and Lyka (Boston Terrier) are very good with all dogs. They love to play and will keep your fur baby company during their stay. The dogs are in and out all day using 9 steps. We have security cameras and limited access to our property.

“Lizzi was very responsive and flexible when I reached out and prompt and easy to chat with when she came by. Layla then got to go for her first walk with Lizzi which was a satisfyingly long one around the neighborhood for her. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Lizzi; we booked our next walk right away!”
“Abigail and Ian regularly walk my little man Augie and always give such sweet updates on him! I love knowing there are people in the neighborhood who have my back caring for my guy”

“Was wonderful!! Layla was so sweet and agreed to last minute give my dog care as I was injured and was not able to take my pup for a walk and play. Trustworthy. Followed instruction. Would definitely request their care again and recommend her to others!!”
About: I have experience working at a dog daycare, (Dana’s Dog Spa and Daycare in Hutchinson, MN) where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities in a fast-paced environment. My responsibilities included supervising playgroups, feeding, cleaning, and making sure each dog was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve also spent many years caring for the pets of friends and family, providing reliable cat and dog sitting while they were away and regularly walking their dogs. I’ve always looked forward to spending time with them, and I genuinely enjoy caring for animals! I am available mornings (7am - 10:30 am) and evenings (4pm - 11 pm) on M, T, TH, and F. And I am available most weekends as I’m a college student. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I care for each and every pet with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, prioritize safety on every walk and visit, and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind. I’m always happy to answer any questions and help you feel confident that your pet is in caring, reliable hands!
“Our Great Dane loves Ben. He has had great communication with us during all of his walks and has made sure that Bruno has “done his business” in the mornings. He is our favorite walker”
“Elizabeth is a very professional and caring dog walker. My dog looked forward to her visits. She follow directions perfectly and asked pertinent questions. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Hillary did an amazing job walking my shy pup and quickly won her over! In addition to being amazing with my dog, Hillary did and excellent job communicating with me about how my dog did on their walks, tactics she used to help build up my dog's confidence, and Hillary even helped clean up a potted plant that my dog had knocked over one day. I would highly recommend Hillary to anyone looking for care for their pets!”
“Ashley does a great job communicating and really focused on her time with my senior pup. She's becoming my regular dog walker and I look forward to all the happy pictures of my pup she sends!”
“Lensy is so wonderful! She’s consistently communicative and sends such fun photos. Absolutely incredible to have her care for Petey & shows above and beyond consideration for both my pets :) Look forward to having her walk again!”
“Michelle is great!! My dog is very shy and slow to warm up to people so I was worried about finding someone to walk him while we are at work but Michelle has been awesome!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, so being around animals has always been a big part of my day to day. I don’t currently have one at my place, which is honestly why I’m excited to get back into it and spend time with dogs again. When I was younger, I ran a small dog walking business in my neighborhood, so I’m used to handling different dogs and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I’m super reliable, easy to work with, and I genuinely enjoy being around animals. Whether it’s a quick walk or just giving your dog some extra attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Although I don’t directly have a yard, I am right by a bunch of places to walk to! I’m currently a college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible throughout the week. I’m able to work around classes and am available for mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I also enjoy staying active, so I’m always happy to spend extra time playing with your animal or making sure they get attention during visits. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure doors are secure, follow any instructions you leave closely, and keep a clean and safe environment during visits. I’m also big on communication, so I can send updates and photos to keep you in the loop. You can trust that I’ll treat your home and your anima with respect and care every time.
“Thoughtful, flexible, friendly, easy communication, patient with the pupper (& with me). My lil guy really likes her. Definitely planning to stay with Nina for awhile! She's pupper approved.”
About: I am a huge dog lover. I love all kinds of dogs and have grown up with all different kinds of dogs of varying size and temperment. My family has had 2 havanese dogs and 2 newfoundlands so I have experience with a variety of sizes. Recently, I lost my soul dog, Max. Max was a shepherd mix and was my whole world. My husband and I had Max since he was a puppy and are looking to get our dog fix by helping out others. We understand the stress finding care for your dog can create, and we would love to help provide a safe and fun environment for your dog when you need it. We have a large yard (unfenced) and safe neighborhood for walks. We also have 2 children, aged 5 and 3. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available most of the time from home any given week. I have 2 children, aged 5 and 3, and they would love to help care for and love on a doggy. I have a large, unfenced yard in a quiet, safe, and dog friendly neighborhood. Our dog Max was always free to run around the yard without any issues. Dogs are allowed inside, on our furniture and I still have Max’s dog bed for use as well. I am also happy to pop in by your house to walk your dog if that’s needed.
