“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Patti and Patrick. He was dealing with some health issues prior to his stay with them, and they were supportive with giving him his medication. Patti sent us fun text messages and photos everyday of our happy boy. He was well taken care of and loved in their care.”
“Anna did a great job with my standard poodle. He was introduced to her two dogs and they had a chance to get acquainted before another dog came later in the day. All of them got along well. I would use her again.”
“Michelle was great! Our dog, Ella, is very shy and scared of new places and people. We did a meet and greet and then did an overnight to see how Ella would do. Michelle was so patient with her and took it at Ella’s pace. We really appreciated that. We got updates and pics, which were great and reassuring. I knew we left Ella in good hands.”
“We were very pleased with the care our dog received with Amy! She was great with communication and it was clear when we picked him up that he really enjoyed staying with her. We will definitely use her again!”
“Heidi and Luna settled in and seemed very happy when I came to pick up. It was nice for them to have a fenced yard and other dogs to play with. Luke and Rachel were very communicative and responsive.”
“Riley seemed very happy here! Shelby and family took great care of her. Communication was great, I received some fun pics and had no worries while I was away. I would gladly rebook with them in the future!”
“Davis and Emma did a great job with my dog for the weekend! Very responsive with lots of pictures. Ayda looked like she had a great time, and I would definitely rebook with them!”
“She was fantastic with the dogs. Dogs were a challenge at times. Cooper and Ranger has never been in a fenced area and like to bark alot at unfamiliar things happening around them. We live in an area with no neighbors. I would use her again in the future if it would be acceptable to her.”
“Sophia and her family took such good care of Leo. The pictures she sent me showed Leo so happy and apart of their family! Will definitely rebook as I can tell Leo was so happy!”
“Another amazing weekend of having our baby watched by Jess!! Millie loves her weekends at their house and has come home so much calmer than other sitters she has stayed with before! Feels so good knowing our gal is in good care. Thanks Jessica and family!”
“Jailene was fantastic with my dog Riley. She sent regular update, photos, and videos. He stayed over the 4th of July holiday, and Jailene had great questions beforehand to make sure he was comfortable.”
“Lisa helped us out last minute with dog sitting when our other sitter fell through and she was great!! Very responsive and even sent us pictures of Briggs. He came home a very happy pup thanks to Lisa and Dukey!!”
“Jack always has the best time with Colleen, Joe and Nico! And we always have peace of mind that he is so loved and well taken care of! Thanks again!!”
“What an awesome family! Kelly and Jim and their girls were so welcoming, accommodating, and reassuring when we left our dog Hazel for a couple of nights. They sent the cutest updates with their sweet dog Maisie playing ...even outside on a very rainy weekend!! Would highly recommend their care and confidence. Ten stars!”
“McKayla and Dillon are Star Sitters for a reason: They really care for their guests. They saw our Ozzy did not like their wood floors, so they provided rugs and towels for him to move around on! They are attentive not only to the apparent needs of their house guests, but also make them feel at home by keeping close to home schedules, providing lots of active time/walks, and include important, quiet, "family" time. They are great "pack" leaders! We couldn't be more pleased with the love and care Ozzy received, as well as the accommodations they made to help us with our travel plans. Thanks!”
“I’m really happy with my decision to trust Loraine with cat sitting. She loves cats and is very knowledgeable about them. She is super friendly and accommodating, and by the time I left after drop off I felt like my cats would feel very comfortable! She provided lots of updates and communication which meant a lot, and I know the cats were as happy and safe as possible in a new environment. I would recommend Lori!!!”

Emily went above and beyond my expectations. She took great care of my large/strong dog and cats. She followed instructions and did even more. She cleaned up after my dog had accident, she even found my carpet cleaner!! She is great and very responsible. I look forward to continuing booking with her
Shana has watched Mia twice now and both times has taken such great care of her. She loves playing with their dog and in their yard. I pick her up and she is wore out, which is always a good sign! Shana gives me updates and sends pictures. I highly recommend choosing Shana for your dogs care!
Our lab had another great stay at Patti & Patrick's while we were on a two week vacation. We sadly missed his fifth birthday - but they celebrated with him...birthday hat, pup cup & lots of TLC. He has been there several times, and now he just pulls to get to their door when we arrive because he's excited to visit them! : )

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 Circle Pines 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 Circle Pines 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 Circle Pines.
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 Circle Pines. 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 Circle Pines 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.
