“Serah was an amazing person to have as our little Lita’s foster momma while we had an extended vacation. She kept us in the loop with texts and pictures. It was so reassuring to have our pup taken care of and loved as her own. Lita loved the fenced in yard and having Riley, Serah’s dog, as her playmate. We highly recommend Serah. We will definitely choose her again as our first choice in dog sitters.”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! I treat my dog as my child and he loves playmates. I have been a foster with Cocos Heart Dog Rescue for over four years, where I have provided a home for shy, breeder release dogs, and within days, we have become best friends. I am a go to for watching my friends and neighbors dogs. I love everything from play time with young puppies, and the sweet cuddles with senior dogs. I work fully remote, so pets get frequent attention, play time, and walks. My dog gets fed once in the morning and one at night, but I am flexible with feeding schedules and keep dogs separate during feeding time. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I strive to create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where every dog can feel at home. I understand that being in a new space can feel overwhelming, so I always give new dogs plenty of time to sniff, explore, and get comfortable at their own pace without feeling rushed. I have a friendly, confident dog of my own, and I take introductions seriously. When a new dog arrives, I keep my dog in a separate area so the new pup can explore and settle in independently before they meet. I believe in slow, supervised introductions and always pay attention to each dog’s body language and comfort level. I also take precautions to keep my home pet-friendly, prevent access to potential hazards, and ensure dogs have their own space to relax. I want every pup in my care to feel safe, loved, and right at home, with plenty of attention, patience, and affection.

Not only was he cared for but he was made part of their family. We would always recommend Katie and her family to watch our dog.

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!

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.
