“My dog, Cassi, has stayed at River's home for daycare and soon, will be there overnight. She has a large fenced backyard and a large german shepherd Luther. The dogs alternate between play outside and relaxing inside. She seems very competent at managing different dog's energies and needs. It isn't just a free for all playgroup. RIver makes sure dogs are a good match and supervises closely.”
“Dana is fantastic, she takes great care in making sure your little one acclimates to their new surroundings and mingles well with her pups. She is super responsive with communication and responses, and has been very flexible with changes in scheduling! She has been watching our little Ricky on a consistent basis multiple times a week, he can be a bit anxious but has taken to liking her quite quickly, we feel super comfortable leaving him in her care and would highly recommend!”
“My 6 month puppy was way happier when we picked him up after his daycare with Atheyana, the next day after that he spent all day sleeping which means he was playing a lot under her care. I will definitely rebook with her soon. 😊”
“Wendy was so awesome with our dog Ghost. He was really nervous at first when we were dropping him off but by the time we left him and got to our next destination, I already had a video and an update that he was fitting in just fine. All of my worries were gone at that point. We would definitely rebook with Wendy again!”
“Howie was absolutely AMAZING! I had a last minute trip and it was my first time in about 10 years using rover and he made it extremely easy and worked with me on changing times and worked with my roommate as well, much appreciated! Howie treated my dog so good and even from the initial meeting they bonded very quickly! Thank you so much Howie, me and Grampaw will be using your services in the future :)”
“We sent our high-energy dog to Toni for a full 12 hours and she was so easy to communicate with and super flexible with scheduling. The peace of mind to know that she was cared for and got a walk in during the day was wonderful. Highly recommend Toni for any doggy daycare needs!”
About: We are a dog-loving family, especially of the small variety! I have been taking care of dogs for most of my life and began sitting through Rover three years ago. We are a homeschool family, so my 9 and 7-year-old daughters enjoy helping with feeding, playing with, and cuddling the pups. We also have a one-year-old son, so the doggies we take must be ok with small children. Our 12-year-old Shih Tzu, Dulce, also really enjoys having doggy company, and we only accept small dogs to accommodate her. We promise to treat your sweet pup like he/she is a beloved member of the family! We homeschool so someone is usually available for a quick potty break or belly rub! Walking outdoors (in nice weather) is a favorite family activity so we try to take the dogs out daily. In the event we don’t make it out on a walk, the pups get their exercise and sniffs in by playing in the backyard. Our dog Dulce loves to have a partner in crime chasing squirrels our large fenced backyard! We are an active family with two girls (ages 9 & 7) and a 1-year-old son who also love to play and interact with the dogs. Our house has hardwood floors for easy cleaning. Guest doggies are welcome to sleep next to our bed on their doggy bed, or if they sneak up to find a cozy spot next to our feet we won’t complain!
“Elizabeth was fantastic with our boy - we really appreciated her reassurance and check ins. She let us know he was doing great. Would definitely use Elizabeth again next time we visit Minneapolis!”
“June is always super excited to be dropped off to play with Mckenzie and her dogs! Mckenzie has been wonderful with our 5 month old pup and its been so reassuring to leave June with someone who we know loves dogs as much as we do and also has the skills and knowledge on managing different ages and varying dog’s behaviors! She is very communicative and prompt with her replies and she has always been loving and patient with our dog!”
“Krista was an amazing find. We needed somebody on very short notice to watch our husky while we did a quick day trip with our kids at the mall of America. She was super responsive and our dog had a wonderful time. We’ll definitely use her again when we swing back through town.”
“Paul and Teri are the absolute best! They’ve taken care of Rosie twice now and have been so sweet and accommodating. Rosie has a hard time getting used to men and Paul is very patient and sweet with her. I can tell it’s a good day when she comes home exhausted from playing! thank you both very much!”
“Steven & Diane continue to get to know my dog Alice in a personal way. They pay attention to her needs and our excellent communicators with me. Alice will be staying with them for 10 days and I am certain she will have an excellent time!”
“Our pup was pretty happy after her time with Glen. He took Maisie on a long walk - she was pooped out and fell asleep in the hotel. We will book again when in Bloomington!”
About: Decades of hands-on dog experience, from puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace (and lots of meds!). While I am new to Rover, I am very experienced with dog sitting and dog caretaking. I host only one dog/dog family at a time, so your pup gets calm, focused, one-on-one care without the stress of other animals. Because I work from home, your dog will have consistent attention, supervision, and flexibility throughout the day. I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and routines. I enjoy helping each dog feel safe and happy. I don’t currently have my own dogs, and am looking forward to caring for your dog as if they were my own. I had my own dogs for 20+ years (plus childhood!), dog sat for friends and family, and volunteered with rescues, so I’m experienced, patient, and intuitive. I am easily able to follow your dog’s normal routine, whether that’s regular potty breaks, walks, medications, or simply lots of pets throughout the day. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a dog friendly home and a fully fenced yard for exploring and games of fetch. Because I don’t currently have other pets, your dog won’t need to adjust to new animals and will get my undivided attention in a calm, low stress environment.
“Emilie was so good to my dog, Walter. I felt really comfortable leaving her with him for the whole day. She sent tons of pictures of him while I was at work and said he played all day -- which was perfect! I'm definitely going to be rebooking in the future. :-) Walter was pooped once we got home.”
“My fearful dog has become comfortable very quickly with Emily. She doesn’t usually like strangers but Emily understands and doesn’t try to push her. I’m glad we found a good match for day care.”

Krista was an amazing find. We needed somebody on very short notice to watch our husky while we did a quick day trip with our kids at the mall of America. She was super responsive and our dog had a wonderful time. We’ll definitely use her again when we swing back through town.
Mollie is a star! She was luckily able to help us in a pinch and is clearly so good at dogs. My girl was really anxious going in, and Mollie let us take time to get her acclimated to sweet Hattie and her new hangout spot for the day. Best Rover experience in a long time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Bloomington on Rover is $36.63 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Bloomington commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,721 sitters in Bloomington, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
