About: As a dog lover, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand that every pup has their own personality, needs, and routine. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I love making sure dogs feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive, patient, and dependable, and I’ll always treat your dog like one of my own! I’m also happy to provide regular pictures and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in great hands while you’re away. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, but I have the flexibility to stop home during my lunch break for potty breaks, feeding, and some extra attention! I’m available on weekends for pet sitting, boarding, and walks, allowing me plenty of time to give your pets the love and care they deserve. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals and am happy to accommodate their individual routines and needs. Whether you’re heading out of town for the weekend or just need an extra helping hand, I’d love to help! I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in good hands! My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every pet feels happy and cared for. I understand that every animal has their own personality, preferences, and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel at ease. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m also happy to provide regular pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

Carolyn and her family are the best sitters I could ever hope for. My dog gets so excited to go to their home and I know she’s always having a good time because Carolyn sends regular photos and updates. I felt confident my pup was in good hands when I went on a one month trip. I would recommend Carolyn and her family to anyone looking for a dog sitter you can trust!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
