“This was the first time we used Rover. We left Gunner for a daycare day to start. Carolyn and Kristopher were great with Gunner. Carolyn wrote down all the details of Gunner’s normal routine and his particular needs. He came home very tired which was a win. We will be using them again in February for a longer stay. So thankful we found such wonderful people to leave him with.”
“Giovana and her family were so wonderful with Skye. I couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter. Thank you so much for treating Skye like he was part of your family. If I need a sitter again, hopefully you are available. 😁”
“Mike is our absolute favorite when it comes to care for our two dogs. He is so friendly and takes amazing care of our dogs while we are away at work. He sends pictures and updates throughout the day which is so appreciated. He has a lovely fenced in yard for the dogs to play in, and when they are inside he allows them to get comfy on the couches! Our dogs love going to Mikes house, all I have to do is say “Who wants to go to Mikes?” and they both jump up and nudge their leashes by the front door! Our one dog was adopted a couple years ago and was still struggling with opening up to other dogs when we first started bringing them to Mikes house 7 months ago. Fast forward to now, she is so excited to go to his house and is playing wonderfully with the other dogs. He is patient, kind, and loves the dogs in his care and it shows. Our girls are always happy and tired from playing upon their return home. He is always our first choice whenever we need someone to watch our dogs. Thank you so much for everything you do, Mike!”
“Shannon and David were great taking our husky with separation anxiety for an evening. They were very communicative, responsive, and provided us with photos through the evening. We would not hesitate to have them watch Izze again.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Karen was so kind and welcoming to our very energetic pup! She has great attention to detail and took the time to truly get to know our dog and his unique personality and needs. Getting updates and pictures of our dog having the time of his life with Karen and her family made us feel so at ease knowing that he was in great, loving hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Karen in the future and our pup can’t wait to go back! ☺️❤️”
“Kelly has been great with Coco! Because she has other dogs, Coco had the opportunity to socialize and have a ton of playtime. When I would pick her up in the evenings, she was so mellow which is saying a lot for an energetic puppy. Kelly kept me updated with pics of Coco throughout the day. We will definitely use her again!”
“Caleb is amazing. He took the time to put together an activity list for our puppy, made sure he had multiple forms of mental stimulation (lick pads, puzzles), and ensured plenty of exercise. Caleb gave us a gift of our own lick pad, so very thoughtful. We will be back for more doggy day care.”
“Excellent service! Lorena was extremely warm and attentive with our puppy, who is only 11 weeks old. We felt at peace leaving our furry baby with her. She is also very knowledgeable about puppy development and gave us the requested tips. Will definitely request her services again.”

I closely supervise all interactions and work to make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure. If your dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated, I can accommodate that as well. Dogs are welcome on our couches and, if that’s what they’re used to at home, they’re welcome to sleep on the bed at night, too. I do my best to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you’re away.
“Fantastic. I had very short notice and Jessica and her husband were super accommodating. Alpine must have had a great time. He wore himself out playing with the other pups! Thanks a million. As a first time Rover user, this was an excellent experience.”

“Bethany was THE BEST person for my dog. She has a very lovely home that is tidy and has created such a calming and welcoming vibe. Throughout the sit, she would keep me informed on what was going on and reassured my anxieties of leaving my dog with her. She listens and respects any of your requests. I could tell my dog had a lovely time with her because by the time I came to pick him up, he was hesitant to leave, which all the good signs that he felt at home. If I'm ever in the area again, Bethany would ultimately be my first choice. Thank you Bethany for all you've done to help my dog feel like it was another home and friend to visit.”
“Jessica and her family are amazing hosts. They were easy to coordinate with and took great care of our senior husky. We will be rebooking with them in the future if they’ll have Cricket!”

She is on the deans list, and committed to getting good grades, being reliable and dependable, and willing to help provide a loving home for your pet!

Mary works from home, so your pup will never be alone for more than a couple hours if needed to run errands. We had a boxer that we raised from 10 weeks old to 12 years old.

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Afton on Rover is $49.95 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Afton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,493 sitters in Afton, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
