“Mika and Andrew were fantastic sitters! Our two dogs were with them for three nights and they had a blast. Mika and Andrew kept us updated with pictures and videos, and we had such happy, engaged pups at pickup unlike the shell shock they tend to have when boarded at a kennel. Mika and Andrew were communicative, responsible, and they cared well for our girls in their beautiful home. I would recommend them without hesitation and would definitely book them again!”
“Robert and his wife took excellent care of our dog Jasper over a long weekend. He sent daily updates, which was very appreciated. I can tell that Jasper settled in and felt comfortable there, and he came home relaxed and happy. Thanks!”
“Ali was great and communicated to us throughout our trip perfectly. She was very flexible, and Piper seemed to have a great time with her and her family! Would love to go back there again next time”
“Leo seems to have had a wonderful time. His behavior this evening is as if he just had a normal active day. Clearly he was comfortable enough to have cuddled up next to you. And he always enjoys a good walk.”
“Lan did a great job caring for Martha and Susan! The picture update was appreciated, but girls looked very happy. Lan’s dog, Lucy, was adorable and friendly.”
“Jenny and fam were amazing! I felt comfortable with her from the moment we showed up at her house. They loved on Mocha and she looked like she adjusted quickly and was part of the family. The pictures she sent made me smile. Thank you for providing such a loving and safe home! We will be back.”
“Mike was great! He kept us updated with pictures and videos of Murphy everyday. Murphy has some separation anxiety, but Mike reassured us that he was adjusting well to his new surroundings. Murphy enjoyed playing with his dog friends all weekend! I would definitely use Mike again!”
“This was our first time having our newly adopted boys stay with a sitter while we were away from a wedding. We are so thankful we came across Karen’s profile because she turned out to be the perfect match! Karen and her family provided lots of love to our dogs, sent many photos of their time together, and she was very responsive and thorough in all of her communications. Our boys came very happy and so did we! We will be looking for Karen again in the future and we highly encourage others to do the same!”
“Lauren and James were phenomenal! Spent good time with my dog and send updated photos and videos. Very loving couple. I would recommend them if you are in a need for boarding.”
“Dawn was amazing while taking care of our dog Daisy. She knew just how to put her at ease and make sure she had a great time. She was very communicative with lots of photos and flexible when our travel plans changed due to the weather. We’ve found our new home away from home for Daisy!”
“Excellent place for my big boy to stay! Tristan is very good with the animals and very observant of any issues. He seemed very happy when I picked him up.”
“Debbie and her family were amazing! They were excellent with Bulut. Debbie sent a lot of pictures and videos which we appreciated. Bulut was really happy with the stay, went on a lot walks and lots of backyard play time. We couldn’t recommend them enough!”
“Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.”
“Our dog had a great week with Stan and his dogs! Stan is a very thoughtful and clearly experienced caretaker. He asked great questions and tailored his space and routine to Madeline. We got regular updates, and Madeline got lots of exercise on walks and playing in the big, fenced-in backyard!”
“Sunny had a great long weekend boarding with Gina, Wally and family. We were sent photos, videos and regular updates. We could tell Sunny was comfortable and having a fun time. Would love to find another time to have Sunny stay with her new bestie Wally!”
“Our dog Louie is occasionally leash reactive and aggressive with other dogs. He also was adjusting to life changes at our house and has some anxiety. We needed a sitter who could meet his needs and Bethany was great! She was also available on short notice and a great communicator both prior to and during his stay. We absolutely will use her again and know Louie had a great time!”
“This was the second stay for our standard poodle and we already feel like we are dropping him off with family! The pictures and video they send tell us Beau not only feels at home, but is having the time of his life! They have so much fun with him and him with them. Thank you John and Teri! You guys are amazing. ❤️”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Afton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Afton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Afton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Afton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Afton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
