“Seena was absolutely wonderful! My request last minute and Seena responded quickly. I was coming from out of town and didn’t have a chance to do any meet up beforehand. Seena’s communication was wonderful from beginning to end. Her dogs, Benson and Rhoda were both sweet. I appreciated the updates and Seena willingness to be accommodating with my irregular schedule. My anxious dog was well cared for and was in great hands.”
“Amber and Doug are so good with Lola. She is always excited to see them, and Amber keeps me posted with lots of pictures of her activities, and stays in constant communication with me. I feel very comfortable leaving my baby girl with them. Thank you, Amber!”
“Kairouan was great with our dogs. She has a perfect home with a breezeway that has a doggie door going into a large fenced yard for the dogs to play in. We received pictures daily of our dogs relaxing and playing with Kairouan’s beautiful Golden retriever Roo which we appreciated getting. I would highly recommend Kairouan to anyone that is looking for a pet loving sitter.”
“Meranda did such a wonderful job with our Tippy! She gave regular updates, was able to administer his medication, and I picked up a happy dog at the end of a long weekend. I would absolutely recommend her and her family as a sitter!”
“This was our first time using Rover and having our pup stay with someone else and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Char took care of her like her own, sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. LuLu was so happy and tired out when we came to pick her up, we could tell she had so much fun and her “sleepover”! If you need someone to take care of your pet Char is the person to choose. Thank you!!”
“Angelica did a great job with my dog while we were away. She was very happy when we came to pick her up and it was nice to get photos of her while we were out of town. Angelica was very responsive to messages and easy to communicate with. It's very clear how much she enjoys and cares for pets and we will likely be using her services again in the future”
“We came to town for an overnight trip and didn’t want our pup cooped up in a hotel room the whole time. Dae & Madison took great care of him and the next day I picked up a happy, played-out pup. It brought me a lot of comfort after talking with them knowing they had a lot of experience not only watching dogs through this platform but also with high energy dogs and dog behavior overall. I would definitely book again the next time we have an overnight trip in Grand Forks!”
“Deann was a great dog sitter! Very communicative throughout the stay and thoughtful prior to accepting the booking. Photos and videos everyday! I will definitely look to see if she is available in the future.”
“Allison was wonderful! It was our first time using her, and she kept us updated with photos and text messages the entire weekend, putting our mind at ease. We would absolutely use her again!”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a teen. I have experience with large and small dog breeds, as well as puppies from birth onward. I have two dogs of my own, who are members of the family. We have a secure fenced in backyard to ensure the safety of your baby as well! Please note: I have two children, ages 2 years and 3 months old. For their safety, please let me know the extent of your pet’s exposure and comfort level with children. Thank you! I am a stay at home mom, so I am available 24/7 most days. For dog walking: Typically, when we take our dogs for walks, depending on the time of day my kids will accompany us in the stroller. We are in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. I have two small dogs who absolutely love other animals and would love to keep yours company. We also have a fenced in backyard for dogs.
“Perfect dog sitter, I boarded with her last minute and my dog had a great time playing in her back yard with the other pups, flight got delayed and it wasn’t an issue, would highly recommend to anyone. Came back home and picked up a very happy and tired pup”
“Nikie and her family were awesome with our 2 dogs. Ella got her exercise out in the fenced yard and Tillie got to rest inside just how they prefer! We received pictures throughout their visit, which we appreciated so much. Would recommend Nikie and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again! Thank you so much Nikie, and your husband too, for taking such good care of our pups!”
About: I became a licensed Veterinary Technician in 2014 and have 10 years experience working in general practice. I have been dog sitting since high school. I currently work Monday-Thursday 8am to 5pm and come home for lunch noon-1pm to care for my own small senior dog as well as 2 senior cats. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly 12 year old dog named Penny. Penny and guest dog will be separated if I am not home but I will have a camera I can view the guest dog as needed if I'm at work. The resident cats will not have access to the guest dog while I am away. My pets eat 4 meals a day and Penny is let outside 4-7 times a day.

Whether they need cuddle time, quiet space, or exercise, I adjust to their needs. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away.
“Amy is a very nice caring person. She communicates well. Took our dog for lots of walks. My dog had a good stay that would have been better is she had a secured backyard. On the other hand I did not investigate this but again she made up for this by taking him for walks. . She also gave him a nice bath.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alvarado 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 Alvarado.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Alvarado 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.
