Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia Heights
Frances is so great, she took such great care of our golden retriever Charlie. Frances’ dog Luna is extremely sweet and had a blast welcoming Charlie into their home. We really appreciated all the updates about their adventures and how Charlie was doing throughout the stay.
Ericka was amazing! It was our first time ever having our dog stay with a sitter who wasn't family and we felt so confident and reassured knowing he was under Erika's care. Ericka has great communication and sent us lots of photo updates. Our dog was super well taken care of and gained a new friend! Thank you Erika! I would recommend Erika to any dog family!
We had such a wonderful experience with Eric and Martha! They were fantastic with Tex and kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of pictures and messages. Communication was excellent, and we really appreciated knowing how he was doing each day. Tex clearly had an amazing time — he practically cries with excitement when he sees them! They gave him daily walks, lots of attention, and treated him so well. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend them and already have our next booking with them! 🐾❤️
Such a wonderful and helpful person. My dog had to be seen by a vet while staying with Kristy. I am forever grateful for the care, patience and attention she gave to the situation so I was able to remain away from home without worrying about my fur baby. Her level of care is beyond five-stars. Simply one of the best 😍🫶👍
Brianna was great with my big dog, Boulder! She sent me lots of pictures and daily updates, which I really appreciated and definitely made it easier to be away from him. Boulder was happy when I picked him up, and it was clear he was well taken care of. I’ll definitely be booking with Brianna again!

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.
95% of sitters in Columbia Heights 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 Columbia Heights 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 Columbia Heights.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Columbia Heights 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.
