“I can't say enough about Karen, from the meet n great through the entire stay. She was very thorough with details and communication. She welcomed my fur baby into her home and loved him like her own. She did an amazing job keeping him in his daily routine. This was the first time he has stayed with anyone other than family and I could not be happier. The daily updates and photos helped me enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands! I could tell with the photos that he was really loved and super happy. I look forward to booking more stays and highly recommend her and her family.”
“Highly recommend. Very responsive throughout booking process and with updates during our pets stay. Diego came home happy and exhausted from all the fun he had. Would definitely book with Alex again”
“Alisha and Nick have been sitting for us for quite a while and they are the best we could ask for. They are very responsive to messages and have treated our fur kids like family! I highly recommend them!”
“Jennifer was so sweet, caring, and accommodating to our pup. I loved getting pictures and messages throughout his stay, which really put my mind at ease. I truly appreciate her taking in a puppy and being so flexible with our schedule tweaks. We'll definitely book again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Michelle! Great communication and such love for our 11 year old Yorkie, Who stayed an entire week! First time using Michelle but will definitely use again!”
“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!!”
“Dylan and Whitney’s care of Dusty was phenomenal. They were able to take Dusty in on short notice and treated him so well. In addition, the communication and the speed of communication was always great and fast. Dylan sent us pics to help us while we were missing him. They were always a highlight of our day. We HIGHLY recommend Dylan!”
“Tonya made our pup feel so loved with plenty of cuddles and walks! Willow felt comfortable right away. She sent us a couple photos and messages each day so we knew how she was doing!”
“We had an amazing experience with Carley and Austin! They took fantastic care of Walter and were so easy to work with. They are incredibly nice and kept me updated with great communication throughout the stay. We’ll definitely be using them again—highly recommend!”
About: 20+ years of experience (that makes me feel old). Unofficial dog sitter for family and friends since high school. Loyal to my fellow dog loving friends sharing word of mouth recommendations, fostered a giant breed and helped find his forever home, loved my first dog for nearly 8 years, and now I would like to fill the void by helping care for your four legged family member. I have experience caring for senior dogs and puppies as well. I work fully remote, so I appreciate the screen breaks. I am able to go out for walks or outdoor time often. After losing my dog this summer, I do miss the quality time and walk routines. We joke that you better love dogs, but it is true. My home is setup to be dog friendly, maybe more rugs for traction on the vinyl plank floors. Animals are part of the family and that is how we treat guest pets as well. Living on 3 acres in the country, so a great space for outdoor activities. I am quite respectful when residing in another’s home and great at following instructions and/or preferred routines.
“Rachel did a great job with Ralphie! He was happy and seemed to enjoy his time with her. She took him to the park a few times! I would be comfortable using her services again!”
“Michael did an amazing job with our dog, Murphy. It was nice to do a brief meet and greet to make sure Mike and Murphy were a good fit for one another. Murphy readily took to Mike and she seemed relaxed and okay to stay. Mike was in touch shortly after we left to let us know that Murphy had settled in, and I received various photos and correspondence while we were away. We will definitely book Mike to watch Murphy again and I would absolutely recommend Mike to others!”
“Olivia was very open with communication before dropping off my kitten, she sent daily updates with photos, and she even bathed my kitten after her incident in the car. I believe my kitten was very well taken care of and was happy and healthy when she returned.”
About: I am a dog mom to Freedom, my Blue Heeler of 8 years. He is very friendly and loves play dates and doggy daycare. I'm really doing this for him to have friends over. We have a small fenced area for potty breaks. Our living room is cozy for stretching out to nap. We also have an 8X14-foot deck for lounging and overseeing the backyard. I try to stay pretty relaxed and create a calm environment, but don't mind some chaos at times either. Freedom, Arya (my daughter), and I enjoy short road trips to get coffee or feel the wind in our fur. We are working on fencing in the backyard for doggy romps and sniffs. We love the fresh air! Hope to meet you soon. I am a stay-at-home mom with my daughter, who loves furry friends. My schedule is very flexible, and we also take care of old grandpa downstairs. We have a fenced-in potty area for your pet's safety and comfort. A fully fenced-in yard is in the works. Happy to provide for your pet's needs.
“Dessirae is the best! This was our dogs' first stay with her, and it was great! The dogs loved her and her home. The dogs were not entirely sure that they wanted to return home with me, when I showed up to retrieve them today. I only hope that they were well behaved, as we hope that they will have future stays with her.”

About: Hi there! My name is Savannah, and I recently moved to the area! I grew up around dogs/cats of all kinds my whole life and have previous experience with dog sitting for friends while they were away on trips. I’ve also volunteered at my local animal shelter, where I spent time caring for and walking both dogs and cats. You don’t need to worry about traveling, as I have my own vehicle to travel. Because I work part time at a clinic, I’m available only afternoons and nights during the week. However, I'm available all day during the weekends. If you need a sitter, I would be unavailable to take them to my own house, but can stop in/stay at your place. Caring for an pet greatly depends on the pet themselves and the owner's desires. I love to play and be active with the animals if allowed. If a pet is older and doesn't like to be active for long, I enjoy just spending the quality time so they aren't lonely while their owner is away. I also always check in with the client about their pet's basic needs, such as how much they are fed and how often, how often they are let out, if there is any needs for any disabilities, etc.
“Shylina is great. She knows what our concerns are in leaving him and makes sure to mention how she takes cares of those things. We can’t imagine anyone else caring for him while we are away. We highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”
About: I have been taking care of friends and families pets since I was 16. Taking care of their animals while they are on vacation. I was responsive for feeding, walking, taking them out to use the bathroom, playing with them and caring for them while their parents were away. I’m a teacher. During the school year I’m available every day, but all day on Saturday's and Sunday's. In the summer time my availability is wide open! I live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of roads and paths for walking around to get plenty of exercise. We have an open basement for playing and a dog of our own they can have fun with!
“Lance did a great job! She arrived as expected and stayed the full requested half-hour and a little more! I felt my kitties were very well cared for and I’ve already booked another visit! I highly recommend Lance!!”
“Alex was great! He handled our high energy dog very well. Millie was a happy girl when we got home! He followed our instructions and I felt very comfortable that Millie would be well taken care of on the drop in visit. Would definitely recommend Alex!”
About: Something that sets me apart from others is the fact that I raised my parents dog Hildi as I was doing online school at the time! Pet care fits great into my routine as I am only going to school part time. I absolutely love spending time with dogs and/or cats! I will promise to care for your pet as they’re my own, no matter the circumstance! I will always provide the most that I can:)
About: We’re definitely cat people! I’ve been around cats my entire life and absolutely love their unique personalities. From playful and outgoing to shy, independent no touching, or extra cuddly, I understand that every cat is different. Some want that loving & some don't want any attention. I’m comfortable with cats of all ages and personalities and love giving them the attention, patience, and care they need. Whether they want to play, snuggle, get some pets, or simply have someone nearby while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and loved. If they just need clean litter box, fresh water, and try to play with them thats fine too!
“Desiree was great. She followed the simple instructions I gave and would pick her again with my pets. Hopefully it is not short notice next time, but my usual sitter had a last-minute surgery. Macie can be a lot in spite of her age.”
About: I have been pet sitting for 20+ years and it might be one of my favorite ‘jobs’ because no part of it has ever felt like a job. Pets are family. I will make sure the appropriate number of scritches or pats are given per pet. I am also able to check in on cats at their home, knowing it is less stressful on the animal. I do have experience with issuing medication, both feline and canine.
“Michelle regularly does check ins and has done a couple overnights for my pup. She arrives on time, takes great care of my dog, communicates, follow instructions, and sends lots of pics. She is incredibly nice and attentive to my pup and also this nervous dog mom lol. I am very selective in who let care for my gentle giant; I trust Michelle completely and know my baby is in amazing hands. She treats my dog like one of her own, his schedule is followed, and he gets to relax at home with lots of love while I am a way. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could! We are grateful for her at our house!”
“Rory exceeded every expectation I could have had while cat sitting. I am an over-protective cat mom and didn’t worry, not even once about my babies. He went above and beyond- I couldn’t have asked for more or better. I absolutely, 100% recommend Rory- u will not be disappointed.”

“Jess was wonderful, very easy to work with and very responsive to messages! Marley seemed to have a great time and we loved getting picture updates throughout her stay!! I would highly recommend Jess and would book her again!”
“Highly recommend Mike—he was incredibly easy to work with, highly responsive, and flexible. He offered up a meet/greet in advance which was incredibly helpful. My pup Taco was comfortable with him right away—he is definitely a dog lover!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I have a cat and have had several different dogs. I even fostered dogs for a summer. I'm now divorced and have my kids half the time. My work is flexible and I can add in dog care as needed throughout the day. I homeschool my boys when I have them and work delivery jobs when I don't. My work is very flexible so I can make time for per care any time. I live in town with a small yard. It works best to come to your home as it's most familiar for the animal. My home is a good size but has close neighbors. You can find my personal pet sitting page called Jessica's Pet Sitting on Facebook.
“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: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.
About: I love dogs and would love to watch or walk yours!! I've watched many dogs in my life of neighbors or friends. I've done drop-ins and dog walk for several years now. I currently have 2 dogs!! I'm pretty flexible, let me know what your needs are and I can most likely fit them in!! Most mornings and afternoons I'm free, evenings are a little busier. I'm willing to drive to your house to walk your dog. Also, if you are gone on vacation or work during the day I can come drop in a few times a day and play/fed/walk your pup!
“Michelle was excellent! Our 8 month old Shih Tzu had two sweet pups to play with all day! What fun! Michelle sent me photos and I knew Willy was getting excellent care! We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you Michelle!”
“Jessica and Jacob were amazing sitters! Very friendly and professional. My pup went to their house for daycare for a few days and had a great time with their family. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been watching dogs and cats since I was young. I love to walk dogs and spend lots of time playing together. I also enjoy caring for cats. I’m very reliable and am a good communicator. I would love to spend more time helping out with pets! I recently moved here and would love to watch some new furry friends. I’m employed part time currently and looking for full time work. I am very respectful of other people’s homes and properties. I am clean, quiet, and will communicate as often as you would like. I love to play with cats and dogs and will give them lots of attention.

I currently have two pets now one is a seven month Alaskan malamute and one is a one year-old domestic short hair. I only work two days a week and my job is pretty flexible so I’ll have really any time to be able to give your dog or cat all the love and attention that they need I will do what the pet parent says to do on guidance for the pet. I have had experience with kennel training lease training all of that if you have a fenced in yard, I’ll it’ll be better.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a genuine love for caring for them. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to big dogs, as well as cats. Because I’ve spent my whole life around animals, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and will treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very fortunate to have a flexible work schedule right now, which allows me to make pet care a big part of my day. I’m available most days and can be flexible with drop-ins, walks, feeding, potty breaks, and giving your pets the attention they need. The only days I have limited availability are Tuesdays and Thursdays, as I spend time with family on those days. Outside of that, my schedule is very flexible, so I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and needs. My husband also works a varied schedule, so in the rare event that I’m unexpectedly unavailable, he can usually step in to help with something simple like letting your pup outside or making sure your pet is fed. We’re a team and want to make sure your fur babies are cared for and never left without what they need! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be our top priority. We’re very present and attentive people, and when you choose us to care for your pets, they truly become our priority. We’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. We understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone else, and we don’t take that trust lightly. Our goal is simple: for you to feel confident and comfortable knowing your pet is safe, loved, and getting plenty of attention while they’re in our care❤️

About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m active, dependable, patient, and comfortable following whatever routine your dog is used to. Whether that means long walks, playing outside, feeding, keeping up with a routine, or just giving them some company, I’m happy to help. I work in college athletics, so being responsible, organized, on time, and communicating well are a big part of my everyday life. I’ll treat your dog like I would want someone to treat my own and make sure you’re kept updated while they’re with me. My schedule is flexible, especially during mornings and early afternoons, which gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and taking care of pets throughout the day. I also have days with significantly more availability and can accommodate overnight and weekend care depending on my schedule. I keep my Rover calendar updated so I only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time and attention they need. I take being trusted with someone else’s pet and home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications or other care instructions you provide. I’m also big on communication and will send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. For pets staying with me, I’ll make sure they have a clean, comfortable environment, regular bathroom breaks, exercise, attention, and plenty of time to settle in and feel comfortable.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, I’ve worked with seniors and puppies and everything in between! I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare and have done lots of grooming for both cats and dogs! I am available night and day! I am easy to reach and am ready to come at any time! I am a stay at home cat mom! I have 2 cats of my own, I give them the best nutrition and brain stimulation! I am constantly researching the best for both cats and dogs!
About: The two loves of my life were my dog, Abby, and my dog Bronx. Abby was a Siberian husky and Bronx a 15” lemon beagle. Bronx was part of my life for 20 years and just recently passed. I honestly can’t imagine a life without animals in it, and one day I wanna be able to reflect back on my life, knowing that I did as much as I could to help as many animals as possible, which is why becoming a part of ROVER is so appealing. I have an incredibly flexible work schedule that will enable me to schedule my work hours around my hours caring for animals. I truly believe that animals are every bit as important as we are, and I think pet owners will be able to rest easy, leaving their pets in my care, knowing that their health and safety will be of the utmost importance to me! I have a two-story condo that they would be able to spend most of their time in with me. I also have a heated garage that I’ve converted into a safe and comfortable area for animals to play in. In addition to that, I live in Woodbury, literally surrounded by parks, full of walking paths that will be ideal for a dogs exercise. One thing I would like pet owners to know is that I’m not doing this for the money, I’m doing this because I’m newly single and alone and can’t think of anybody better to spend my time with than animals in need. I wouldn’t just be some dog watcher, I would be their friend that plays with them and loves being with them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats! People relied on me to take care of their babies and I did it effectively and with love❤️ I work a full time job but I work 4 days on - 4 days off so I am available during those days off to help! I know many dog parks that is something you’d be comfortable with your pet going to! I could bring my pups as well if you are comfortable with that
About: Hello there! My partner Andrew and I share a true love of animals, as well as traveling, and over the past 11 years we have offered our services as pet sitters and care-givers as a way to pursue 2 passions at once! We like to see it as a win-win for us and you, as we have used this platform and others as a way to both earn, and save money, while having meaningful experiences along the way. Having both grown up with animals and then having our own, as well as both being the eldest sibling of large families, has given us a lot of genuine experience. We are definitely what you would call "naturals". Animals not only like us but feel safe and comfortable with us. Our reputation and references are something we have worked hard for and consider of the utmost value. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to do this professionally and have had a great experience here on Rover, as well as via word of mouth. We have recently returned to Minnesota where I am from and once again offering ourselves up as dog walkers and house/pet sitters! I know leaving not only your pet but your house takes a lot of trust and so I would love to do whatever I can to assure you they are both safe. As you can see we have glowing reviews on Rover, and additionally, tons of glowing reviews on airbnb which I can provide a link to if you send us a booking request. I can think of no better way than to prove we are what we are what we believe ourselves to be, something we pride ourselves on being able to say, and shows the effort we have put into each sit/stay to take care of animals and homes as if they were our own. Some of the other things we do for work and are passionate about are: music, food service, teaching Spanish, writing, and instruments, child-care, coaching, and various outdoor activities. Please feel free to ask any questions and thank you for reading. Heather We are both working from home so are able to devote a lot of time to any animals we may be caring for. We are also very flexible and able to adapt to changes in scheduling. We are not currently able to host pets in our home but are able to accommodate any needs you or your pet may have in order to be and feel safe.

She welcomed my fur baby into her home and loved him like her own. She did an amazing job keeping him in his daily routine. This was the first time he has stayed with anyone other than family and I could not be happier. The daily updates and photos helped me enjoy my vacation knowing he was in great hands! I could tell with the photos that he was really loved and super happy. I look forward to booking more stays and highly recommend her and her family.”

About: I am a dog mom to Freedom, my Blue Heeler of 8 years. He is very friendly and loves play dates and doggy daycare. I'm really doing this for him to have friends over. We have a small fenced area for potty breaks. Our living room is cozy for stretching out to nap. We also have an 8X14-foot deck for lounging and overseeing the backyard. I try to stay pretty relaxed and create a calm environment, but don't mind some chaos at times either.

Hope to meet you soon. I am a stay-at-home mom with my daughter, who loves furry friends. My schedule is very flexible, and we also take care of old grandpa downstairs. We have a fenced-in potty area for your pet's safety and comfort. A fully fenced-in yard is in the works. Happy to provide for your pet's needs.
“Dessirae is the best! This was our dogs' first stay with her, and it was great! The dogs loved her and her home. The dogs were not entirely sure that they wanted to return home with me, when I showed up to retrieve them today. I only hope that they were well behaved, as we hope that they will have future stays with her.”
“Emily and Sam watched our dog for a week. She’s very energetic so it was awesome that our dogs could play together. They are very responsive and very nice people! We would love to book again with them in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. I have always been an animal lover and have instilled that same love in my children. I would welcome your pet into my home and treat them like I would want someone to treat my family’s dogs - with lots of love and attention! You can trust me to take great care of your pet while you are away. I live on three acres so there is lots of room for your pet to safely walk, play and sniff around! :) I am also willing to do drop in visits in your home if you prefer, while you are away. I am available for pet sitting, walking and boarding mostly on evenings and weekends. I will also have availability over Christmas break and I am off over the summer, so my availability will open up quite a bit during those months. I have two friendly dogs and two friendly cats that are used to dogs. I would take your pet out on a leash since our yard is not fenced. I would let them out several times a day and feed them on a set schedule. They can sleep in a crate or possibly in a bed if that works out.
