“Chelsie and her family were not only amazing and patient with Tilly, welcoming her into their home while we were away, but she was incredibly flexible with our ever changing travel schedule. Due to weather that prevented us from getting home when we originally anticipated, Chelsie was extremely understanding and accommodating to help extend Tilly’s stay with her family. This was so helpful by taking one thing off of our already stressful plates. Thank you for everything, Chelsie!”
“Lori and her family took great care of Captain. We appreciated her communication and great picture updates. We knew Captain was in great hands and we plan to use Lori again in the future!”
“Manami was absolutely amazing with our Labrador. She gave her the exercise and attention that she requires. She gave us updates and pictures, we couldn’t be more pleased with her care!”
“Our dog Stella was well taken care of. She loved playing fetch in the back yard and having it fenced in was a bonus. This family gave her lots of love and attention and even sent photos so we see how well Stella was doing. I would absolutely recommend!”
“Such a wonderful family and beautiful home! My pup was very very happy here and I know she was treated just like family. We are very glad we found Emily, and we will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Lonni and Steven were wonderful! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family and it could have not been a better experience. They were so kind and welcoming and took such great care of our Ruby!”
“Piper had an amazing time at Amy’s house and came home nice and tired!! Amy also provided updates daily with cute pictures. Piper was able to play with her dog and young kids and she also had an invisible fence collar that Piper could wear so she wouldn’t run out of the yard. Will be using Amy again!”
“Trish & Robert were wonderful hosts for Ruby. She had a great time running around their backyard when we met and kept me in the loop with regular updates and photos. Would definitely be looking to see if they are available the next time I have to travel without Ruby.”
“Promise took such great care of my dog, Toro! I received multiple VERY cute photos and videos throughout his stay and he looked like he was having a great time. He loves other dogs and was delighted to get to play with other dogs Promise was caring for. We will definitely bring Toro to her again next time we need a sitter!”
“We were so thrilled with leaving our dog with Charleen. She communicates frequently while we were away with pictures and lots of videos. My only concern was that our puppy think she is an Alpha Male. Her own puppy may have learned some of our dog's bad habits. But Charleen was excellent.”
“We would highly recommend Katrina & Drew to watch your pup. We received regular communication and pictures. Most importantly our nervous pup came home happy and healthy. She clearly felt welcome and comfortable. Thank you for being a home away from home for Willow.”
“Amanda went above and beyond when my 1 yo German Shepherd had a few episodes of diarrhea while in her care. Truly a blessing to have her caring for my puppy during this. Can't thank her enough.”
“Susan and Craig took wonderful care of my pup and I highly recommend for anyone with oral pill administration, anxiety, or minor behavioral issues (herding). Their updates and care put my mind at ease. Thanks again, you two!”
“Samantha was incredible! She was suuuper flexible with our last-minute request when another sitter fell through. She sent a bunch of pictures, and Ellie and Carl looked like they were having a great time!! We would definitely book with her again!”
“I’m so happy with Bernie’s first stay with Melissa! She received lots of attention and love, and was very comfortable there. Melissa was great with communication and all the details of my girls needs. Looking forward to her next stay!”
“Jessica and Grant took wonderful care of our golden retriever while we were away. They sent frequent updates and photos and gave her lots of exercise. She was happy and healthy when we picked her up. We would gladly use them again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 1,778 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Cologne. About 90% of Cologne sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
