“Karen and family took amazing care of our giant Newfoundland Nora. Spoiled her during her stay which was great to see. Pictures and updates daily showed how good of a time she had. Thank you for taking care of our baby.”
“Our standard poodle stayed with John and Teri earlier this year while we were gone for a long trip, and then again a second time this weekend. We know he is spoiled and loved and feels right at home both by the photos and updates John and Teri share as well as how our dog acts when we drop him off and pick him up. We are so grateful to know he is having a good time when we are gone! John and Teri are wonderful!”
“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%!”
“Mike was great with Javi. He sent pictures so that I knew Javie was not sitting in a kennel all day, but was out and being played with. Javi now has a home away from home at Mikes house. I would definitely recommend Mike to anyone. He was very accommodating with my drop off time and an early pick up.”
“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!”
“Dynette is an amazing sitter! She took such loving care of our dog, Calvin, while we were away, sharing frequent updates and photos so we knew he was doing well. It was so reassuring knowing Calvin was in such good hands while we were gone. We highly recommend Dynette and will definitely book with her again next time we need a sitter.”
“We felt so comfortable leaving Katniss with Sarah and Richard. Right from our meet and greet we knew we'd have no worries leaving her with their family. You can tell that they (and their kids) have such love for animals. We received an evening update with photos and a video each night of Katniss' stay which showed us just how much fun she was having with their dog, Sadie. We will definitely be using Sarah and Richard again in the future!”
“Crosby came home exhausted, which was needed as we were tired from our trip! He had plenty of outside time and play time. Really appreciated that Jessica has a fence! Will book with her again!”
“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!”
“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”
“Jenny was a great sitter for our little guy. This was our first time using Rover so glad it went well. Always sent me a daily picture & update, which was super nice! Our pup seemed right at home and loved by her and her family. Thx!”
“Kirsten was great! She got back to me quickly and sent pictures/updates daily. She kept him over Christmas & even gave him a treat from Santa. Highly recommend!”
“We had a fantastic experience with our sitter! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, sending regular updates and adorable pictures of our dogs that really put our minds at ease. Our pups were clearly happy and well cared for, and they loved playing in her spacious, fenced-in backyard with other friendly dogs. When we had to extend the stay unexpectedly due to weather, she was flexible and accommodating without hesitation. I felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs in her care, and it’s clear she genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend!”
“This is the longest I've ever left Mia and I did not want to board her at a kennel for 12 nights. Lan kept me updated with pictures and videos that made me relax and enjoy my vacation more knowing she was well taken care of and had a buddy to play with too. Thanks Lan!”
“Katie was amazing! She kept us in the loop the whole time and had great communication. Even though our dog chewed the door frame a bit, Katie was very understanding and didn't blame our pup. She has 2 other dogs Wally and Daphne. She has a fenced in backyard. Our dog got along with them both. They are both older dogs and calm. Highly recommend Katie to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Great communicator. Gave me lots of updates on my dog while I was away...sent me pictures of him. It gave me a sense of peace, knowing he was in such good hands. I will definitely use her 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.
