“Would give 10/5 stars if i could!!!! I got lots of updates and photos and they're obviously really good with dogs. Bluto is usually super stressed when he comes home from being boarded but hes completely relaxed and obviously had a good time there. Will definitely try to rebook every time i go on a trip.”
“This is the first time my fur babies have been “boarded” with a stranger. Courtney was AMAZING and so conscientious about their needs. I received photos and updates which were much appreciated. I feel so fortunate to have found Courtney and my boys adore her!”
“I had the absolute pleasure of having Heather take care of my dog, Opal, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Heather went above and beyond to make sure Opal felt comfortable and loved. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind and showed how well Opal was being cared for. Not only did she take Opal on multiple walks, but she also gave her a bath, leaving her looking and feeling fresh. The love and attention Opal received were beyond what I could have hoped for, and I will definitely be using Heather again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing experience. I had a last minute booking, and Morgan was able to take Bailey for 10 days. Drop off and pick up was easy. Bailey got along great with her dogs and was able to play a ton. Bailey got exercise and attention daily. Morgan was great at giving updates and communicating. The property had tons of space to run around. Highly recommend booking with Morgan.”
“Wonderful experience for our pup and for us. As a nervous mom I was put at ease with not only how comfortable our dog was in her new environment but also with all the wonderful updates and pictures throughout the visit. Truly a wonderful, caring and responsible environment!”
“Stacie did an amazing job looking after my Kadie! She sent pictures and updates every day, and Kadie came home tired and happy! Anyone looking for a good, kind pet-sitter is in the right place!”
“My Sadie is still trying to recover from another great weekend with Mike! I love that he took her along on his weekend adventures to Park point and out for Pizza along with the daily walks that she requires. She is always so tired after spending time with Mike that she falls asleep in the car on the way home! A big shout out and thank you to Mike for being an exceptional pet care giver!”
“Kate watched our dog for 5 days and did awesome! Fenced in yard helped me feel reassured. Our dog also had the opportunity to socialize with other dogs (and a cat) during the stay which he needed. Loved all the pictures throughout the stay! Thanks Kate!”
“Milo had a great time there. He enjoyed playing with their dogs, and going for walks. I enjoyed the updates and pictures. I would definitely take Milo here again!”
“Amber was fantastic. Prior to our scheduled overnight amber spent time getting to know Otis, my super high energy, sort of anxious, golden retriever puppy. Amber immediately made a connection with Otis, I knew Otis would be in good, experienced hands.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been a true passion of mine! With nearly 15 years of experience in dog boarding and grooming, I’ve had the joy of caring for pups with all kinds of personalities, quirks, and needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and what makes one pup happy and comfortable may not work for another. That’s why I take the time to get to know each pet individually—learning their routines, preferences, and what helps them feel safe, relaxed, and right at home. My goal is simple: to give your furry family member plenty of love, attention, and personalized care while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾❤️ While I work full-time during the day, I’m available most evenings and weekends to provide your pets with the love, attention, and routine they’re accustomed to. Whether you’re heading out for an overnight trip, working an extra-long shift, or simply enjoying a much-needed night out, I’m here to help make sure your furry family members are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I know how challenging it can be to fit in that extra walk, potty break, or some much-needed playtime—especially on a busy day. That’s where I come in! My goal is to make life a little easier for you and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands. 🐾❤️ Your pet is in good hands! 🐾 With nearly 15 years of experience working with a wide variety of dog breeds and personalities, I understand that every dog is unique. I take the time to get to know your pet on a personal level—their personality, routine, preferences, and individual needs—because I believe building trust is the foundation of great pet care. Keeping your dog’s routine as consistent as possible helps them feel safe, secure, and comfortable while you’re away, and my goal is for them to enjoy their time with me just as much as they would with you at the other end of the leash! Before your booking, I’ll take the time to talk with you about your pet, their personality, habits, and any special needs or instructions. This allows us to make the proper arrangements ahead of time and ensures your pet receives care that is truly tailored to them. I also place a strong emphasis on open, responsive communication, so you can feel confident knowing that your pet is cared for, their needs are understood, and you’re always kept in the loop while they’re in my care. ❤️
About: I specialize in large dog breeds as I have 1 Pyrenees and 1 golden retriever myself. They are both very well trained and certified ESA’s. I don’t have any special skills such as pet training, just really good with dogs. I am a full time nurse and I’m off every other week. I would love to take/walk dogs on my weeks off. I have always had a dog in my family. I’d love to hang out with your furry friends! I have two big loving dogs to keep yours company. We will spend a lot of time outside hiking and going for walks! If your pet is not staying at my house we will still have fun going for runs, walks, or being outside.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

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.
96% of sitters in Carlton 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 Carlton 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 Carlton.
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 Carlton. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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 Carlton 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.
