“Andrew and his girls took amazing care of Buck and Winnie while we were on vacation. They sent lots of happy pictures of the pups and responded to all the messages right away. We picked up happy happy pups. We'll definitely be back!”
“Ana and Michael provided a wonderful place for us to leave Blossom for a few days. We were immediately comfortable and welcomed. Blossom made herself at home right away. She loved the fenced in back yard and all the attention. Ana was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She also provided videos and updates on how Blossom was doing. It was a wonderful experience leaving Blossom for the first time. Thank you so much.”
“Larry and Laura were absolutely wonderful with our two energetic Labs! They were incredibly accommodating and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Their communication was fantastic—they sent plenty of pictures, kept us updated, and took the time to talk through how each of our pups was doing. It was clear that our dogs were well cared for and in great hands. We would absolutely trust Larry and Laura with them again and highly recommend them!”
“I’m so sorry this is late. You are always so good with the pups and you give me comfort knowing they are so well loved at your house! Thank you for always loving them when we travel!”
“John and Gretchen did an amazing job taking care of Ginger! They gave her so much love and attention, along with frequent walks and fun outings. She settled right in at their home and was treated like family. We received daily updates with photos and could relax and enjoy our vacation knowing she was in their excellent care. Highest recommendation and 5 stars! Will definitely be booking again next time we travel.”
“Pluto had a blast staying with Stacey . Stacey kept him like we would , at her home and he got all the love from her and her family. When we went to pick him up he was happy to see us but was also wanting to stay with Stacey We would definitely go back to Stacey”
“Wonderful! Kiersa was so friendly, and I felt that Roman was loved and well cared for while staying with her. I also very much appreciated the photo updates. Thank you!”
“Sylvia was really good with my 16 years old dog. She was gentle, caring, and detailed. We got a report card after the 6 days stay with him of every detail of his activity daily. Sylvia is retired vet tech, so she has a lot of knowledge! I would recommend her to all of my friends”
“I was impressed with how kind, warm and considerate Patrick and his children are, Gaia took to them immediately and the pictures that were sent, were a comfort to me knowing Gaia liked and trusted them, 5 stars.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kimberly & John! Great communication and we loved all the pictures of Oakley having fun while we were gone. He seemed to fit right in and was so well loved. We'll be booking again!”
“This is our 3rd time with Liss. She is so calm and attentive to my little dog, which is just what my dog needs. My dog is very attached to me and has had some negative separation experiences. But with Liss she seems very comfortable and that gives me peace of mind when I travel. I also like that she doesn’t have a whole pack of dogs at any one time and she only takes small dogs, as my dog wouldn’t do great in a big pack environment. Also, I really appreciate that she lets Ellie sleep with her. That definitely works well for Ellie and I think it is part of the successful separation.”
“William took care of our Mini Schnauzer for 11 days while we were at a national conference. He sent daily photos and words about our dog. This was a daily refresher for us knowing our dog was in good hands. Communicating with William was superb!”
“Chelsi did great with Hazel! She gave us many updates (videos & pictures) as to how Hazel was doing! Chelsi is also great with responding to messages in a timely fashion! She great with making accommodations if your pet needs them!”
“I don’t think Birdie wanted to come home! It seems like she had a great time at Lan’s house and Lan followed all care instructions to the letter. It was my first time using Rover and Lan made me feel like my gal was in great hands. Thank you!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Barbara. We can not sing her praises enough! We received daily updates and pictures which helped me relax. Barbara is a delightful woman who really does love dogs and enjoys each and everyone of them. Winston came home without stress and a new best friend. We will be reserving time with Barbara again.”
“I am so grateful to have Peg and Greg board Riley! They are the most caring people that I totally trust with our older guy. Communication and pictures are always top notch! 👍🏼”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carver
We couldn't have asked for a better person to watch our 9 min old GSD! Molly was quick to respond, sent texts, videos and updates multiple times in the day. Our dog played non- stop with Molly's dog, Goose. Molly asked all the right questions before as to what our puppy needed and fulfilled all! We will definitely be back! Thanks again, Molly!
Melissa and her family were great with our two dogs while we were on our week vacation. She checked in throughout their visit and prior to the stay asked all the right questions to ensure our dogs were well cared for. They were so happy to arrive at her house and would definitely recommend her for future stays. Our two dogs were very happy!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Carver 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 Carver 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 Carver.
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 Carver. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 Carver 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.
