“Topsy is so amazing! Our pup, Nala can get a bit anxious at times, but she absolutely loved Topsy. Topsy sent reviews and pictures assuring us that our dog was well loved. She will be staying with Topsy for a week over spring break. We are so thrilled to have met Topsy and have her be a part of our pup's life.”

“I don't even know where to start. This was the best experience! Nancy was amazing! She took such great care of our dog Rookie. She sent us multiple updates and photos/videos each day. At no time did we worry about our fur baby- we knew Nancy, her kids, and her dog, Dakota, were treating Rookie like one of their own. In fact, when we went to pick her up, she didn't want to leave! We'll ask Nancy to watch Rookie every time we leave town. This was beyond a 5 star experience!”

I have used rover many times and can confidently say Amy is one of the best sitters on the app. I felt so comfortable leaving my puppy with amy, and I intend on using amy as a sitter many more times in the future. Amy has two very friendly dogs that my puppy tiger loved as well. If you are looking for a safe, great sitter, look no further than amy!”

Marine and her family took excellent care of our girl!

Communication was excellent; the daily pictures and updates gave us so much peace of mind. We picked up a very happy and tired pup!

We had such a wonderful experience with Allison! Our dogs felt right at home with her and her pup from the moment they arrived. They had an amazing time playing, and she provided such attentive, loving care while keeping their specific needs and quirks in mind. We loved receiving all the fun pictures and adorable videos throughout the day, it was clear they were having the best time! We felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care and would book her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! 🙌🏻💛🌟

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!

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.
