“I was worried about leaving Loki with someone else for the first time, but Whitney made him feel right at home! She sent lots of pictures and it was clear that Loki enjoyed his time there. He got lots of exercise and playtime - I’m pretty sure he slept for 2 days straight when I brought him home! I would definitely recommend booking with Whitney if you have a high energy, playful pup!”

“Always grateful for Jie's ability to watch Bear. I can tell he is calm and happy there while away from home. I appreciate the daily updates and flexibility with pick up/drop off times.”

“Just picked up our trio from Cheyann & Nicole, and as usual they are as happy as can be :) They always love staying with their favorite sitters and we will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Our dog had a great stay with River. River kept us informed each day with what they were going to do and sent a picture. We'll definitely have our dog stay with River in the future.”

“Lori has watched our dog twice and each time it has been a great experience. It is clear she and her family love dogs and our dog has a great time there. We will continue to use Lori anytime we need a dog sitter!”

“Carrie and Mark were great with our dog Sunny. We received daily picture updates and fast replies if we had any questions. They both seemed laid back and easy to work with! Will book with them again in the future 😊”

“Julie and Ben were great! We needed a sitter on short notice, and they were quick to accommodate! Our dogs looked like they had a great time. We will definitely consider them for future needs!”

“Denise and Michael are wonderful grandparents to our little dog. She gets long walks daily and even gets to visit their cabin depending on the time of year. We couldn't ask for better dogsitters!”

“Augie is perfectly at home with Eileen. She is a sensitive, responsive, responsible, and caring sitter. All the pictures help us stay connected when we’re away. I would recommend Eileen to anyone looking for top notch care for a beloved pet.”

“We are so grateful to Jerad, Kali and their sweet kiddos for taking amazing care of our pups! We loved the regular photos and communication while we were on vacation, and we just know our dogs were so well cared for - can’t wait to book with them again! Thank you so much ❤️”

“Shelby and her family took amazing care of our girl Rosie while we were away! We received lots of pictures of Rosie out on walks, playing with the other dogs, and chilling out on her bed. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Shelby watch Rosie again!”


“Cindy did a great job with Vinny! We did a meet and greet beforehand and Vinny got to know her other 2 dogs. He came back super tired and had fun hanging with some new friends!”

“Lucia and her fiance were amazing with my two big dogs. Very flexible, great communication and I got lots of pics and videos. Zeus and Raven loved playing in their huge yard and came home happy and tired!”


“We booked Jai last minute for our 8-month old puppy (who we just adopted 2 months ago) and they were WONDERFUL! Jai completely exceeded our expectations for safe and personalized care for Archie. Jai was warm and knowledgeable and kept us updated frequently with photos and videos. It was very clear that Archie had a blast in Jai’s care! We will absolutely book with Jai again.”

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I grew up with both dogs and horses, and our animals were always treated as part of the family. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet while you’re away. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower, gentler pace. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. At home, I have two Australian Cattle Dogs, Sydney (4) and Roo (2), both rescues. They’re active, social, and always happy to welcome new companions. Before them, I raised my dog Cooper from 7 weeks old through 14 wonderful years. I also regularly provide in-home dog sitting for friends and family, with stays ranging from a few days to several weeks. I work from home which provides me plenty of time to keep an eye on your pup and let them out for potty breaks. I also try to work in some play time during the day where I can. My dogs insist the ball is thrown for them a lot! I feed my my own dogs around 6:30/7am and 3:30/4pm daily. I have a nice big yard with a privacy fence and 2 well socialized, friendly and playful dogs. I have good size kitchen and living room areas that can be gated off the pups need some quiet time to themselves.

About: What sets me apart is my experience, patience, compassion, and genuine love for dogs. I have cared for many different types, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I take the time to learn what makes each dog comfortable and happy. I have also raised dogs of my own, giving me hands-on experience with daily care, training, routines, exercise, feeding, medications when needed, and recognizing when a dog needs extra attention. I’m reliable, attentive, flexible, and communicative, and I treat every dog in my care like a member of my own family. My Daily Routine Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout much of the day, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and walks without them feeling like they are simply being left alone. I typically start the day with potty time, breakfast, and some attention or a walk before settling into work. Throughout the workday, I take breaks to check on the dogs, let them outside for potty breaks using a leash or tie-out, other walk as needed to give them attention, and make sure they are comfortable. They are welcome to relax near me while I work, and I can adjust my routine based on each dog’s individual needs. I do occasionally need to be away from home for work or other commitments, but I’m very flexible and plan my schedule around the dogs in my care whenever possible. I’m comfortable adjusting feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, rest time, or other routines to match what your dog is accustomed to. My goal is to provide a calm, loving home environment where your dog can feel comfortable, included, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to work with their individual personality, age, energy level, and routine. I treat every dog in my home like one of my own, while following the routine and preferences their family has established for them with love, attention and affection.

This was our second booking with Alecia and Todd with our little Bernedoodle PJ. Our little pup gets along with her dog very well. As a bonus her children love dogs too so our PJ got lots of attention from her family. We highly recommend this wonderful family.

Allison was a great caregiver for my two pups! Excellent communication, asked good questions at our meet & greet and shared many photos & updates. She clearly made my dogs feel comfortable in her home and they had a great time! I look forward to working with Allison again!

Our dogs love Angela! We have a 12 year old lab and a 4 year old lab (who never runs out of energy). This lab doesn't like daycares and gets anxious but she RUNNNSSS up to Angela's door when we go there. And Angela takes her running with her! It's bittersweet to leave a great review because she's earned it but I don't want to compete for her availability. 🤣

Vanessa and her daughters took such wonderful care of Cooper! ❤️ We made a last-minute reservation, and they were incredibly attentive to every detail, making sure he felt loved, comfortable, and happy. It was clear from the moment we met them how much they genuinely care for the pets they watch. I received pictures and updates throughout the day, along with notifications about everything they did, which gave me so much peace of mind. 🤗 Knowing Cooper was in such caring hands made all the difference. I am so thankful we found Vanessa and her family, and I would absolutely trust them with Cooper again. Highly recommend!

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 pet, 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.
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. 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.
Emergency support 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.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
