“Caitlin did a beautiful job with Murphy, our rescue boy. He gets nervous when strangers come over so we brought him to her house. She had a nice room for him to relax, a big fenced yard in the country and a calm, positive demeanor. He has not been sat by anyone but family, but we will definitely be taking Murphy to her again. She even gave us fresh-caught Alaskan salmon to bring to our daughter, who had just had a baby. Hoping she becomes a regular part of Murphy's life! We highly recommend her.”
“Thanks for taking such great care of our pups! Trudy sent us lots of pictures and videos of our dogs while we were away. Both dogs loved staying at her house and playing with her dogs. Trudy also helped us start correcting some behaviors with our Aussie puppy. She had lots of great advice for training. Thanks for taking such good care of our fur babies!”
“Kelsey has great communication and I got sooo many photo updates over the weekend. I could tell my pup was quite spoiled with love while he was there and appreciated having two other pups around. We already have a longer stay tentatively planned because we liked her so much. Thanks for loving Marshall like your own, Kelsey! 😊”
About: My love for animals goes well back to when I was 4 or 5 and I was in charge of letting our neighbors dog out while they were on vk. (my mom was really there ;)) I always loved the 2 cats we had I'm sure but my love started growing for all animals when I took on that letting the neighbors pets out. Through highschool I volunteered when I could at the animal shelter a couple cities over and dreamed about owning my own training and boarding facility when I graduated. Well life pushed me into college and a career and 10 plus years later here I am with a degree I don't want a career in.... I'm going back to my dreams and would love for your dogs to be a part of the start of it! I have 3 fur babies of my own a cat and two dogs! All three rescues and loving life! Any questions feel free to reach out! Cant wait to meet everyone! I currently work Monday through Friday 8 to 5 as an intake coordinator for a hospital from home. My love is animals so all my spare time goes to fostering and volunteering for ruffstart along with taking care of others furbabies. All pets deserve lots of love but discipline when needed. I believe in positive reinforcement but some pups need a little more guidance and a shorter leash than others.. I plan on following owners directions and requests but offer guidance if wanted or needed. If all you want me to do is let your fur babies out and spoil them rotten I would absolutely love doing that! For boarding and doggy daycare I have an older resident dog so we can only take laid back submissive dogs for now. We do habe the capability to separate if she needs a break. We have a big Shepard mix that loves to play with everyone at only 3 years old!
“Cindy was super nice! Also made sure we got lots of pictures and video of our puppy! Would recommend her to anyone. She was also very responsive with messages and coordinating everything! If we need it again we will definately be checking with her first!”
“Kathryn was extremely nice and easy to work with. She responded promptly and was very accommodating. Loki had a great time with her, and we would definitely feel comfortable leaving him with her again.”
“Linnea and Nate did an excellent job caring for our golden retriever Graham!! We enjoyed seeing pictures of Graham throughout the week and knew he was in great care. Graham was welcomed into their family from the start. Would definitely recommend and rebook in the future!!!”
“Yuliya and her family did a great job of taking care of Koda for the weekend. I got regular updates and felt koda is being cared for…Thanks you Yuliya for take care of Koda”
“My dog had a wonderful vacation with Renee and James. They took such great care of him. I have no worries about his stay. Thanks for taking care of my old man! See you in November!”
“Such a delight to have Cassandra and her family watch our Louie. Excellent communication before and during his stay with them. Loved the photos and updates! Would have Louie stay with them again.”
“Wes was wonderful with our dog Zoey! Zoey is a senior dog and needs a bit of extra attention, and Wes and his family gave her just that! Received photos throughout her stay, would definitely recommend & use again in the future.”
“Mikaela was wonderful hosting our pup. She was excellent at coordinating drop off and pick up. I really appreciate the pictures and updates she sent to us. Our dog was always excited to go back over and they welcomed him warmly into their home.”
“Maria is awesome! She made it very easy for me to leave my dogs while on vacation for the first time. Maria is definitely a dog whisperer and knows what she is doing. She had over 5 dogs in her care when I picked up my pups and pick up was very organized with all dogs listening to her and calm. I will definitely be using Maria in the future to watch my dogs.”
“This is the second time Tanya had watched Georgie. He got so excited when we pulled up to her house. She was super flexible with watching him and always offers great care.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Big Lake
Amy was amazing with my puppies! We had to go on an extended vacation and Amy was available. We set up a meat and greet and found she was very experienced with taking care of animals and was a very good fit for our puppies. She also has a fenced-in yard. Throughout our vacation she kept in contact sending us pictures, videos and updates on the puppies. We were very confident that they were left in good hands. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone and hope to also use her services in the future.

There are 850 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Big Lake. About 91% of Big Lake sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
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.
