“Karen is truly incredible. She takes care of your four legged kid like it is her own and does not miss a beat. She gave daily updates, exposed our pup to things he has never been exposed to, and is genuinely a great human being. We are incredibly grateful for the time that we could spend away completely worry free with our dog in Karen’s care.”
“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. ❤️”
“Monika and her pet family were wonderful with my two dogs. My dogs got along well with her pets and loved the large, fenced back yard. My older dog is deaf and has some GI issues requiring medication which Monika took care of for me. The pictures she sent on a daily basis showed how happy they were and cared for. They stayed for a week and loved every minute with her family.”
“Dynette was amazing watching our fur baby. Sent lots of pictures/updates and gave our girl lots of love. I would highly recommend her as a sitter and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“A friend of mine told me about Rover.com when I talked to him about our predicament with finding a dog sitting solution during our daughters wedding with an over night stay. We also had another daughter with two dogs coming into town who also needed to find care for their dogs. So, after a few minutes on rover.com, I found Mike and felt this could be a nice fit for us. Our quick feedback regarding the entire experience and Mike as a care provider for our dogs is this: Fantastic! Exceeded expectations! Highly recommended! Now the reasons we say that... Mike and his family are very peaceful and relaxed people yet thoughtful and cautious with caring for a number of dogs. In our case we brought two Labradors and two lab/mix size dogs. Mike was very easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable as first timers with Rover and his family and his home. Our pets stayed with Mike for 24 hrs. From the time we dropped our dogs off, it want long and we had a photo of the dogs just relaxing and feedback from Mike that all is well. Several more pics came through during evening and next morning. Mike helped us totally focus on our daughters special day without any worry about our dogs. When we picked them up, one of our dogs looked so content standing behind Mike as if to say; "I like my new pack, I think I'll stay here a while longer"! Lol! I would highly recommend Mike in the future and we will definitely book with Mike again when the need arises. Thanks again Mike! Jeff”
“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%!”
“Jenna was awesome! She was super easy to communicate with, very responsive, and took great care of our mini poodle for two full weeks. She even trimmed the hair around our pups eyes to see better! We highly recommend her as a sitter for your fur baby!”
“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!”
“Casandra is so great with our pups. She has taken care of our elder bichon and our puppy and now teenaged cavapoo. The dogs love her and her family and they take such great care with them. She and her family spend lots of time outdoors and playing with the pups and snuggling too. They always come home happily worn out. Cannot recommend enough!”
“Carman was a wonderful sitter for my pup! He was returned to me happy and clean. I would recommend carman to anyone who wants their pet taken care of. You can tell that Carman really loves dogs to because Bud was spoiled the entire time with love and attention (: we will be using Carman as our regular sitter from now on. Thank you so much Carman!”
“If you want your pet to be cared for and loved like their with you....Kelly and her girls are the BEST!!! My Wynnie girl was treated so well. I received texts and daily photos. I could not be more happy with the care that they provided. I will use Kelly for Wynnie when needed because I will not have to worry knowing my baby is getting the best care possible. I HIGHLY recommend Kelly and girls to take care of you pet.❤❤”
“Katie and her pups were just what our Scout needed. We go away for weekends and he can’t go with us so it’s comforting to know he’s in good hands. Katie provides that, and updates with cute photos and comments”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Venus with Brittni and her family. That feeling was validated after seeing the smiles on Brittni and my beloved Venus' face. We thank you”
“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.”
“Lan is very communicative and flexible. My dog Dottie seemed to have a great time. Would use again. LAN’s home was warm, clean and friendly. Also she had a nice fenced in yard.”
“My wife and I were looking to find someone who cared as much as us for our dog. We found that with Trudy and her family. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to care for our dog. She sent us updates and photos that put us at ease knowing our dog was well cared for. I highly recommend Trudy and will definately use her in the future.”
“Jennifer was amazing!!! She took such precious care of our Mayo buddy! She responded so quickly, allowed for last minute booking, and sent updates the entire time! Mayo loved playing with the Corgis! He never gets to play with dogs his size so he loved that! They had lots of sunshine and outdoor time! We will use Jennifer again!”

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
