“Brenda and Alvin welcomed Elsie into their home with open arms and care…and she warmed up to them immediately! They were thoughtful with questions to ensure her needs were met with a focus on making her feel loved while she was there. Getting a peek into her first stay with them through the pictures we received was priceless! We’ve already booked with them again!”
“Won’t take Juno anywhere else. Patricia and Patrick are simply the best! They take care of her as if she is their own and she’s always so excited anytime we drop her off.”
“Dogs really enjoy themselves here! It’s an open, welcoming atmosphere where dogs can play and socialize with the other pups. I love a good environment that’s comfortable for both dogs and children, and this place fits right in. They have a big backyard for the dogs to run and burn off energy, and overall it seemed like a perfect fit for ours. They’re also very communicative and send pictures, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“Maria was awesome! She took great care of our 140 lb lab. She kept us updated on how he was adjusting and sent pictures. She made sure he was comfortable and at ease. We look forward to working with Maria again.”
“Nicole is an awesome sitter! We have two dogs that are often scared of other dogs. Nicole and family always had people around looking after and cuddling with our two guys. And her pets were great with our dogs! Nicole sent daily pics of our pups enjoying laps and sofas. I would most certainly take my dogs back to Nicole and family in the future!”
“Talishia is always great with our two dogs. They love heading to her house and always look so tuckered out. She really cares for them as if they were her own. Will use her whenever we can.”
“Kyle provided a comfortable stay for my dog Len's first Rover experience. Even though it was a pretty short stay it was so nice to get pictures and an update on how Len was doing. Will definitely be using Kyle again!”
“Mary provided excellent care for our 2 pups while we were on vacation. She even got them a treat to distract them during fireworks! She has excellent communication skills and our dogs were well taken care of.”
“April is amazing. It was so hard to leave our dog for the first time, but from the first picture to the last we knew she was having fun and well cared for. Thanks for everything!”
“I cannot rave enough about the love and care that Martha and Eric gave my dog while I was abroad!! They were so diligent with sending updates, communicating, and navigating special considerations such as my dog’s food allergies and a recent dental extraction. There was no doubt that my dog had a blast staying with them; he came home very happy and very tired!”
“Bobby had a great time with Nickolai and his family, and enjoyed their large backyard and playing with their resident dog. He was well taken care of and returned home tired out, couldn’t ask for more!”
“Renee and James are wonderful! They took excellent care of our terrier Lily, even taking her for walks during the terribly cold weekend she was there. They sent photos and kept me updated while she was staying with them. Highly recommended.”
“This was our first time having our puppy away overnight and Maya did a wonderful job. She made us comfortable with the environment she provides and how she cares for the fur babies. We also really appreciate the updates and photos/videos! Would bring our pup Dini to Maya again in the future.”
“Jackie and her family were the best pet sitters. They cared for our dog as if he was their own. I loved all the pictures and updates on how he was doing. I highly recommend Jackie and her family for your dog sitter and can’t wait to use her for all of our pet sitting needs.”
“Angela watched our 13 week old puppy over the weekend - she went above and beyond providing extra care and attention that is needed for a puppy! She kept us up to date with many pictures and videos over the three days that he was with her, and helped with his socialization as he got used to new people/places. Great communication which was much appreciated as it was our first time away from him, and our pup was nice and happily tired when we picked him up the last day. We would highly recommend using Angela!”
“Erin & Ramon were great! My senior dog had a ball with them I appreciated her asking if he played well with other dogs before accepting another dog booking while watching mine. I would definitely book them again in the future.”
“Brandon and Megan were amazing caretakers of Bear, a 1.5 year old black Australian Shepherd mix. Bear hadn't spent any time in a kennel or playing with other dogs. Brandon and Megan's dogs were gentle and calm; they taught him how to play and explore. Bear became a member of the pack! Brandon and Megan were also very flexible when the schedule. Bear and his mom were incredibly blessed to have Brandon and Megan!”

Terry and Samantha provided excellent care for our Cavapoo in their home for 4 nights. They welcomed her in as part of the family. We received updates with pictures and short notes at least twice each day. It is obvious that they love caring for dogs and treat them as their own. We will definitely use their service again!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Andover can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Andover 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 Andover.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Andover. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Andover 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
