“Amy did an amazing job taking care of Ivy. I am not sure Ivy wanted to come home after all the tender love and care she received during her stay! Amy was empathetic to our dog's special needs and communicated very well. We felt very confident with her care! We will totally book with her again!”

“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!”

“Lonnie and Steven were extremely welcoming and communicative during my dog Lucy's 1 week boarding stay. Lucy can be a little nervous, has anxiety around other dogs, and is picky eater, but they handled these challenges very well. I especially enjoyed getting pictures of her sitting with them on the couch and hanging out with them on the deck. They treated her like family. I highly recommend Lonni & Steven and would not hesitate to book with them again!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was little. We had them as puppies. My dog, Lilo (Cavachon) is 8 years old. He is at home and very friendly. I have my FT 3-11pm, Tuesdays-Saturdays. Anytime in the morning is fine. I walk my dog or we go to a park every single day. I have partly fenced back yard. I have Lilo, my 8 years old Cavachon to keep a company. We either walk or go to a park everyday.

About: Hi, I'm Emily! I live in Lakeville, right by the Apple Valley border. I've loved and worked with animals my whole life, including fostering, pet sitting, and most recently adopting a puppy of my own (Moss, 6 months)! He's great with other dogs and loves to play. I work a flexible job from home, so I can meet your pup's needs and they'll never be lonely 💗 I do boarding, house sitting, walks, and drop-ins. I'm happy to follow whatever routine your dog likes, meds included, and I have experience giving subcutaneous fluids. I have open availability right now, so reach out anytime! I am currently on sabbatical and decided to do this for fun! So my my schedule is open when I’m not traveling or otherwise busy. I have a 2 bed 2 bath town house end unit that looks out on a pond full of ducks and other fun animals! I can be adaptable to whatever needs your pet may want or need (longer or shorter walks, dietary needs, meds, etc.) and my puppy plays well with others ☺️

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!

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 Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

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, means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
