About: I have a special interest in senior dogs. I have a 17 year old dachshund mix and a 12 year old dachshund. I have adopted hospice dogs and have been a hospice foster. I have experience as a dog foster for rescues in the Twin Cities and am also a volunteer at Animal Humane Society. I work from home and am here most of the time. No problem administering meds, including injections. I work full time from home, so I am almost always here to tend to the dogs. Caring for my own two dogs is an important part of my life and I make sure I’m always meeting their needs. I have two children who live with me 50% of the time. They are 9 and 4 and have lived with small, senior dogs their entire lives. They are very respectful of dogs and I never leave the kids with the dogs unsupervised. I’m very vigilant about how my kids interact with dogs. I have a fenced in yard and secure home in the suburbs. Boarded dogs will be treated like members of my family. I will follow requested instructions and dogs are welcome on the furniture and bed.
“Terry and Samantha took great care of my puppy. They had her for 6 hours and were attentive to all the needs that a small puppy has. I felt very comfortable leaving Bettie with them and will definitely use them again.”
About: I have raised several dogs from the time they were puppies. I have done obedience training with all of them. I truly enjoy the loyal companionship of a dog. I am currently on SSDI, so I am retired. I do have a karaoke DJ business, but that usually only takes me away one or two nights a month. I currently have a French bulldog who is fixed and he is very friendly with other dogs. I also have two cats, but I have the ability to separate them from the rest of the house.
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life. Experience training my own puppy. CPR and medication administration. Gentle and patient with all animals, I build trust first, then a relationship on their schedule. I work a split shift (6-9:45 and 1:15-4:45). I am able to be home (mine or yours) during my break and the rest of the day. My time outside the home usually involves dog parks and dog walks with my own pup. In my home I allow visitors to acclimate on their own schedule and according to their comfort. I have a very sweet and social 2 year old dog who loves join me and meet other pups. I introduce the pups in a safe environment and where they are both comfortable, always monitoring for safety and if either needs a break. Your fur baby will get whatever it needs to be happy and safe, whether that is leashed for potty breaks, kenneled if that is your preference, around the clock supervision, etc.
About: I have had 4 dog companions during my life. Currently Lola (4) and Piper (5) are my babies! Gentle labs with people and other dogs! I am retired, so have lots of free time to provide great care for your pet. I come and go throughout the day but home most of the day. I have a fenced yard for play time. My house is very pet friendly. I have 2 labs that are very friendly, gentle and accepting
“Cassie watched my dog for about 2 months every day while I was at work after my dog needed some time to adjust to a new living situation. Cassie was wonderful, she left detailed reports of the day, and my dog really liked Cassie and her dogs. I would absolutely recommend Cassie!”
“Our dog loves boarding with Pat and Pat. Today, we did the doggy day care — worked great. Our dog ran into their house when Pat opened the door - and now is sleeping like a baby, instead of coming home to a wound up dog who has been cooped up all day. 😊”
“Jacob is easy to work with about Buckshot's needs and sudden unexpected changes in our vacation plans. We are looking for 3 sitters in our area to look after him for out of town trips and doggie day care. Jacob is now on our list for dog care. Thank you Jacob”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including my own. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, giving oral medications if needed, and caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I adapt to their individual needs and routines to help them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply keeping pets company, I can easily adapt to their normal routine and give them the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and daily routines. I also make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and close supervision to keep them safe and happy while you’re away.
“Pamela was great! She welcomed a meeting before dog sitting, and asked care questions. Arlington played well with my dog, and they have a great fenced in backyard for running around!”
About: I've been around pets/animals all my life. My husband and I currently have a black lab. We love to spoil our fur babies and take great care of them with routine vet visits. I have watched my friends and families dogs/pets many times. I work from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! We are available for overnight boarding Monday through Friday as well as most weekends. We are also available for day time sitting. We have a large fenced in back yard. Our black lab is not crated. He is very friendly and often compared to a teddy bear and gets along with all dogs.
About: My mom loves dogs so I grew up with dogs and I've been taken care of them since I was 11. I love dogs and they love me. I'm working at home so I can spend a lot of times playing with your pet, also I can take them out for potty every 2-4 hours I have a puppy who can keep your pet company when staying with us.

“This was our first time using Rover, and Nathan made the experience seamless. He was wonderful about meeting our dog on our dog's own terms—gentle, approachable, and incredibly communicative. I really appreciated that he had a thoughtful plan to make our dog feel welcome in his home and comfortable around his other dog guests.”
About: I love animals and have cared for them my whole life. I'm a great listener and will do my best to accommodate to your dog and help you feel at easy leaving them in my care. I have two labrador retrievers, one cat, horses and chickens. I train my dogs in obedience and hunting. Both my dogs are guide dogs at a hunt club and are kennel trained. I love animals and feel blessed to work from home and spend all day with them. I have a large fenced in back yard. I do have horses and will make sure your pet is safe. I have a nice big porch that I have open to the dogs in the summer to enjoy the nice weather. I can provide mid-day walks when the weather is nice! I have two kids ages 6 and 8 that live with me. They are great with animals but will not be directly provided care for any dogs. Please don't hesitate to ask questions! I'm here to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your dog. **All dogs must be potty trained with the exception of dogs under 6 months that are still learning to potty train. I work from home and can let out dogs for potty breaks multiple times a day. They can lounge around my home and play with toys. I do have one older cat that likes to come out and say hi. She is more of a cat-dog. If I have dogs that need more potty breaks and stimulation, we can discuss a pet care plan for them while they are here. If for any reason pets are unattended, I have kennels for them to stay in. My computer is in the living room area where I can watch the dogs inside and outside the house. During the school year my kids will be at school. They are great with animals and understand how to treat animals with care and respect.

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Cedar is $50 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $54 per day. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 1,437 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Cedar. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Cedar 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,437 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MN. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
