“Alecia was really great! We were gone for an extended trip and never once felt worried about our pup.we knew she was in good hands and it wasn’t long before she was completely settled in. We will be reaching out in the future to rebook!”
“We had a great experience! Kelly was so kind to accommodate our first booking on very short notice and even made time for a meet and greet beforehand. She was communicative throughout and we loved the photos and videos she sent. We really appreciated her flexibility and would definitely book with her again!”
“They are great with my dog. We are repeat customers and they are always our first choice. They keep me updated with pictures. It’s clear the enjoy having my dog. Highly recommended!”
“Christy and Dennis took great care of our mini poodle. They have a calm, quiet environment which is important for our dog. They provided daily updates while we were gone and were quick to respond to questions prior to our booking.”
“River has been a lifesaver, being able to take my dog on short notice and remain flexible with drop off and pick up. We moved and didn't want the dog under foot. It helped so much and I got a tired dog back to introduce to our new house!”
“Trudy was absolutely wonderful! She was very accommodating and had the perfect environment for our pooch. We received daily updates which put us at ease and you can tell she cares deeply about our pet. Lola had a great time with her dog Archie and came home exhausted. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous, but after meeting Trudy and Archie we were instantly put at ease. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“What an amazing couple to trust your fluffy creature with!!! Our dog was happy there and felt like at home! The care they provided was excellent and communication likewise. We can’t recommend them enough!!!”
“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. 🤣”
“This is my first Rover experience, and I am very glad that I chose Jen. She is very caring and experienced with dogs. She took care of Max like family, and sent me pictures and videos regularly while I am traveling. Max can be energetic sometimes, and Jen took him to dog parks, played with him regularly, and had him play with other dogs at the house. Max had a blast. I would recommend Jen to anyone looking. Thanks for taking care of my puppy!”
“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!”
“This was my dog Odin’s first time staying at a sitter’s for longer than a day or two. I was a little nervous leaving him but I shouldn’t have been. Barbara was so good at keeping me updated with his stay and sent lots of pics while we were away. Odin had a great time playing with her dog as well! We will definitely come back next time we need a sitter.”
“David and his wife took great care of our dog. They took our dog for a walk at least twice a day and sent us pictures of her on the walks and snuggled up on their couch. David provided daily updates on how things were going and I was happy that he was home during the day to watch over my dog.”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I have trained several bird hunting Labradors retrievers over the years. I've also owned several small and medium sized dogs. I'm freshly retired and I can't think of a better side hustle then taken care of pets and getting paid for it ! And the dog walks will help me stay active. I am open to different scenarios, but I will treat all pets as if they were my own. My place is best for any overnight needs.
“Tanya took great care of my dogs in her home. She and her family are experienced dog people, and gave them love, exercise and boundaries. It makes vacation so much better when you know your dogs are being cared for so well. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs, 3 in the house! All larger: black labs, mixes! but I have also taken care of my grandmas small dogs as well! I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to build my day around the pets in my care. I’m able to offer plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, and attention rather than having to rush in and out. I love having the flexibility to make pet care part of my daily routine and give each pet the time and care they deserve. 🐾❤️ I want every pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, to dog parks when appropriate, and outside regularly for potty breaks and fresh air. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like part of the family and give them plenty of attention and love. 🐾❤️
“Charlie is absolutely amazing! I booked him last-minute, just hours before my trip, and he stepped up without hesitation. He watched my dog, Molly, for 10 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Charlie consistently checked in with updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear he takes his role seriously and genuinely cares for the pets he looks after. Molly was happy, well cared for, and her usual energetic self when I returned. If you’re looking for someone dependable and loving to watch your furry friend, Charlie is the one! Highly recommend!”

I highly recommend Eileen as a dog sitter as she is very knowledgeable, caring, patient, and understanding, person. I feel safe having my dog stay with her even if she has other pets in the house or visiting. I trust Eileen knows and is willing to support my dog and see the cues if my dog needs alone time to regroup, time to go potty, space from other dogs, socializing encouragement, and looking for human snuggles. Thank you!
Katie and her family took such wonderful care of my dog, Ruby, for almost seven days! From the very beginning, Katie was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. She kept me updated throughout Ruby’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. It was clear that Ruby was treated like part of the family and received plenty of love and attention. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I’m so grateful to Katie and her family for taking such great care of my sweet girl. We will absolutely be booking with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
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!
My dog is a Brittany and a bit anxious staying with others, but Emily made my dog feel at home. They went for several walks during my dog's day long stay and they spent quality time together throughout the day. My dog was able to relax on either her dog bed or Emily's couch, and felt very comfortable staying with Emily. I highly recommend Emily.
Jesus and Elizabeth looked after our two dogs with an incredible care and love. They treated them as if they were their own. I received pictures and messages every day and could enjoy our vacation with a peace of mind that our dogs are having a great time. Both our dogs were relaxed and felt at home with them. I cannot recommend Jesus and Elizabeth enough if you want your pet to be left in a loving home!
Ashley was wonderful! I provided Mila's usual daily schedule, which involves a couple of walks each day and although I didn't expect her to follow it to a T- she did just that and beyond! Mila is a bit of a nervous dog, but I received plenty of pictures proving she felt right at home. I didn't have to check in on Mila even once, nor did I have to spend any time worrying about her while we were enjoying vacation. She is definitely going to be a regular second home for our doggo!

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Burnsville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Burnsville 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 Burnsville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burnsville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Burnsville 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
