“Kona had a great first stay with Shelby and family! I really appreciated that she received her medicine on schedule and got lots of exercise playing fetch and on walks. The photos and videos were great!”
“Dee is the absolute best Dog sitter! Our dog Luna is a high energy dog who is also very vocal and Dee does a great job caring for her. We know we don’t have to worry as she is being spoiled.”
“We left Lenny for 11 days/nights so we could go on a trip to Africa. We were completely comfortable with Chelsie taking on this big chunk of boarding time. She sent pictures and or notes daily showing us Lenny playing with other dogs and enjoying her family. He is a picky eater and went with ear meds which Chelsie managed easily. I would highly recommend and plan to use Chelsie in the future.”
“Great care and service. Kept us informed over the five days our Bernedoodle PJ was there. Appreciated the updates and pictures she sent us. Our pup got along with their dog so it was like a little Summer Camp for Bernedoodles. Will definitely book wth them again when the need arises. Thanks so much!”
“Shelley took such good care of our pup, Ollie. We loved the updates and pictures we received and we could tell that Ollie was having a great time. Already have rebooked with Shelley for our next vacation. Thank you!!”
“Frank and Clarissa were amazing. They sent us pictures, let us know how our dog was doing and kept us at ease. Our dog can be a little shy when he first meets people and they made him feel like part of their family. Highly recommend!”
“Katie and her family were amazing. They made our senior dog feel part of their family. They gave medication and attended to all his needs. Not only was he cared for but he was made part of their family. We would always recommend Katie and her family to watch our dog. She sent updates all the time and pictures of our dog having a great time with the family. Truly an amazing experience.”
“Great family to leave your fluffy friend with. Hugo was happy there and felt like at home. Communication was amazing and care for our dog as well. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much”
“Cheyann was great!!!! Made our family vacation worry free as she took care of our baby girls for us. she was so sweet to keep me updated on how they were settling in and even sent pictures. Highly recommend her.”
“I typically book with a daycare center but due to the amount of time we would be gone, we feared he would suffer from anxiety and loneliness. So we decided to book with a home daycare to ensure he received more personal care. They did an awesome job with Jake. Seemingly, he was treated like their own with lots of cuddle time. They provided daily updates and included cute photos. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely use them again.”
“Ann goes above and beyond. She gives walks and snuggles, sends pictures and we know that Lenny was so well cared for. This is such a great service and we are very appreciative.”
“Robin was amazing!!! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. She is very accommodating, she was constantly sharing with me how Blue was doing and included pictures. Her and her whole family made Blue feel like a part of their family. Thank you so much Robin!🤍”
“Our pug LOVED his 4-day stay with Brenda and her family! Our little guy got along great with her two pit bulls and really bonded with their little boy. The dogs played and ran together in the fenced in yard. Our pug came home happy and ready to nap. Each day, I received a couple of photos with a brief update which I appreciated. This was a short-notice booking, and I am so grateful that Brenda was available. We will definitely arrange dog-sitting with Brenda in the future.”
“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.”
“Trudy, her family and their doodle were great hosts for my dog. They are calm and attentive, and they included my dog in their activities. I appreciated receiving daily photos -- I could see that my dog was content. Would definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Darian was amazing. We used her for a 2 week vacation and we are so grateful to have found her. We will definitely use her again. She taught our puppy how to walk on a leash, which he was struggling with before we dropped him off. We received daily updates, photos and videos, and never had to worry about him being cared for, loved on and played with.”
“Joie was very helpful and thoughtful throughout the process! The meet and greet beforehand helped ensure our dog was comfortable when we returned for boarding, and we appreciated the progress pictures along the way. Would happily recommend!”

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 Cedar Lake 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 Cedar Lake 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 Cedar Lake.
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 Cedar Lake. 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 Cedar Lake 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.
