“Tanya watched Buck for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. Our dog loves playing with other dogs so this was a good environment for him, as he had lots of playmates! She was great about sending updates with pictures while we were away and was always super responsive to messages! We would recommend her to anyone needing to board their dog.”
“What an amazing experience our dogs had…! Zhou took care of peaches and ghost with such care. He sent us the most amazing photos and videos to keep us comfort while we were gone. I can’t say enough good things about our experience !! will definitely be our new go to !! WOW!”
“As first‑time Rover users, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sasha was honest, communicative, and treated our puppy like her own. We loved the photos and videos, and our pup came home even better behaved. We’ll definitely book again.”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my dog with Keitel, I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I dropped off my dog, I knew he was in excellent hands. Communication was seamless throughout the entire process. I received regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease knowing my dog was happy and well-cared for in my absence. , I highly recommend Keitel, to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate dog sitting services.”
“Jeffery was reasonably priced, prompt in replying and communicated well what to expect. He was very kind and seemed to let Abigail get comfortable at her own speed as she's never stayed with anyone other than 2 or 3 immediate family members. Jeffrey sent pictures as promised and had her packed and ready to go when i picked her up. This was my first time using Rover and very relieved to find Jeffery! I hope he agrees to keep her should the need arise in the future!”
“Nash stayed for 3 nights. Debbie was very quick to respond to my messages and sent a lot of updates and pics of my baby while I was away. They treated him like a part of the family. I will definitely use again”
“Hannah and Dylan are truly amazing!! They were so thoughtful and responsive! We received lots of updates and pictures of our dog! I will definitely be using them again!”
“Samantha was amazing! She kept me updated with photos and videos the entire weekend. She has a very calming and nurturing spirit that my dog Sammy really took to. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.”
“Ron is our 1st choice when we leave our 2 dogs! I love the fact they aren’t crated all day and can run and play! The updates and pictures are also very much appreciated!! Ron is very easy to communicate with and has helped us last minute on changes as well!!”
“Second time I used Jenny and she was great! I never worried about my dogs and I was very grateful that she even sent me daily pics of how they were doing! My shy dog was even pictured sitting on her lap, which is a testament to how comfortable they felt with her! We would definitely use her services again if she allows my rowdy. pack to come back!”
“We are repeat bookers with Heather and her and her family always do a wonderful job. Our pup was well loved and was excited to see her again! Will be booking with Heather again in the future!”
“Kylie is simply amazing. You can tell that she truly cares for the pets in her care by their reactions because they are calm and so happy. When my babygirl is with her, I have no worries because I know shes safe and loved. I’m sure Cleo will miss being around her and her family. I know I will🥰”
“I am so glad that I found Paige. She did an awesome job with Charlie! Charlie gets a little worked up when he is boarded so he almost always has diarrhea when he comes home. This time he did not have any stomach issues when he returned home! That’s a plus for us. Paige is flexible and her communication is on point. She sent us pictures, videos, and kept us updated on how Charlie was doing. Charlie looked so happy! I would definitely use Paige again!”
“Darian was great with my boy Floyd!! She sent so many fun updates of him and he looked so happy in every single one. I was very pleased with how she was with Floyd!! Would 100% recommend and go to again :)”
“We were a little nervous about using Rover, until we found Dennis. Our 2 Golden girls had a great time with Dennis and his furkids. They came home happy and tired. We'll definitely will have Dennis care for them in the future.”
“Rocky seemed to enjoy his stay with Aurora. Aurora sent periodic photos of Rocky which was much appreciated because his parents (mostly Mommy) worried about him. Rocky doesn’t do well being boarded at dog care centers so we decided we would try Aurora. We were glad we did. We will contact Aurora in the future when the need arises.”
“Jie is a wonderful dog sitter! She took great care of our dogs and sent us daily photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were doing well. We truly appreciated her thoughtful updates and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Billie Jo and her family were a breath of fresh air and treated our pup as if he were their own. She sent updated pics of our doggo every da. He looked like he had a blast and really loved her. He will definitely be back for regular visits and sleepovers. We appreciate all that she did for us and our big guy.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Brainerd 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 Brainerd.
<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 Brainerd 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 KS 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.
