“We were lucky to find Ms Holly and family. She was quick to respond to messages and questions. Very kind and loving 🥰 family. Our pup was well taken care of and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed watching her. Will definitely look forward to working with them again.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of karma. When ask how my dog was doing Victoria sent pictures also I was running late and she was understanding. Karma came home happy and tried so that's how I know she had fun.”
About: I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care tailored to every pet’s unique needs and personality, with walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of cuddles too. I work flexible full time job, giving me the time to provide attentive pet care. I’m available for weekends, weekdays after work, evenings, and scheduled walks or drop-ins. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and rest.
“For only being my second time leaving my 5 month old Saint Bernard out of my sight, I couldn't have been more comfortable and reassured that she would be taking care of and having a great time! Would highly suggest Dondee, and look forward to having cinnamon stay with her in the future!”
“Very nice people and our dog Zeus had a wonderful time! Would definitely have him stay there again. Good communication and provided daily pictures as well without going overboard.”
“There aren’t words to describe how happy we were with Elizabeth and the care she provided our Beau… she treated him as if he was hers and I couldn’t have asked for more… The amount of pictures and updates she provided was absolutely fantastic and so so so greatly appreciated! I didn’t worry about him in the slightest while we were away, just missed him! Thank you so much Elizabeth ❤️”
“We are beyond happy with Stevie’s stay. It felt like we were leaving her with family, not just boarding her at a strangers house. She was spoiled and loved on and it showed through the pictures that we got while away!”
“Wow, I love Kassie and so does my pup. She shows concern, compassionate, and kind. I was so impressed I told her my pup drank bottled and she bought some for her. She didn't have to do that, but excellent customer service. I love how she kept me updated with photos and messages. My dog was so blessed Kassie and her daughter gave my pup so much love. Moreover she, put a little wet good on top of food. I definitely will let my pup stay with Kassie. I highly recommend her. My dog is boche like her owner and Kassie met her princess needs.”
About: I have been around dogs and cats for many years, and some farm animals. I currently have two adult cats and one young dog. We live on 5.5 acres that are fenced-ish, but the yard is certainly not escape proof. My dog Scribble loves to play, especially with new dog buddies. He never gets tired. We have loop trails through meadow and woods all year round on the homestead but will also explore all of Dodge Center with pups on leash walks. I will also try obstacle courses and other games depending on what your dog is up for. I have yet to meet a cat I could not draw out at least a little. For dogs, we will have to try a temperament test with Scribble, who always wants to play more. I can offer boarding on weekends only because I am at my day job for long days Monday through Friday. I can offer pet drop in visits or dog walks in the evening year-round as long as your dog will share a walk with Scribble. A quick cat visit is easy any evening. Your pup's weekend will involve play sessions, games, leash walks and possibly unleashed walks and play, and exploring with exercise. Until I know your dog can be trusted off-leash and we explore the full property a few times, we will do leash walks only on our loop trails (about 20 minutes casual pace to walk them all). Our field is great for playing and offers lots of space to run around. There is always plenty to sniff and explore, with a trail around a pond, and many rabbits, squirrels, birds and deer about. Scribble never gets tired of exploring, and neither will your pet, even if we stay on leash. For cats, I can set up a private spare room and time to explore chaperoned. A private room will have a human bed, cat beds, catnip mats, and at least one climbing tower. Your cat will need to be okay with my guys hissing under the door initially and Scribble coming around to say hi with his tail wagging.
About: I've been dog sitting on and off since my 20's. Most were co-workers and family. I walked, bathed, brushed and given medicine, both orally and topical as required. I'm currently retired and can dog sit 7 days a week with advance notice. I can also day board as early as 7am and pick up as late as 6pm. If different hours are needed I can be flexible. I have a very large home where your dog can roam freely inside. However, I don't have a fenced in yard. I do have a secure tie line attached to my home. Your dog will never be left outside by themselves as I will be there with them.
About: I have a 11 month old puppy that I have started training and taking care of since 8 weeks old. I also talk him on regular walks, and bathe him. My oldest dog is almost 3 and I have also have had him since he was 8 weeks old. I have watched and walked other dogs for friends and family overnight and for extended periods. I could pet care in the summer almost every day, since I am a teacher. Some things may come up, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would prefer to care for pets in my home during the day to make the pet more comfortable. I am able to play with, feed, bathe, walk, etc. I have a fenced in backyard! I would love if you are ok with my 11 month aussiedoodle came with on walks or house sitting.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Austin
From the moment we entered the location on our initial meet and greet before actual booking, I got the sense that Mercy would fit in and feel at home. That was absolutely true! I definitely plan on booking Holly again in the future. Holly provided a space where Mercy was able to be herself at that first meeting. She had a kennel available for her, but I doubt she even used it. They stated "if she wants to sleep on our bed, that's where she'll sleep!" That warmed my heart and made me feel incredibly comfortable leaving Mercy with her family. However, they were happy to honor my suggestion of kenneling Mercy if there was no one at home since that is what we provide for Mercy at home. I have no doubt Mercy will willingly and joyfully return to Holly again!

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 Austin 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 Austin.
<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 Austin 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.
