“Dana and Doug were so wonderful with Marley. She felt at right at home. They sent lots of photos and I was able to relax because my puppy was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“We had a family emergency come up and needed last minute puppy care. It was so great to know Marcus was in great hands and that he would be well taken care of! Thank you again!”
“Emily and her family took great care of our dog. We felt at ease on our trip because of her reassuring updates. She handled our dog’s high maintenance feeding without question. We really appreciate the care he got.”
“Tess and family were a dream come true! We were first time Rover users and couldn’t have been happier. She invited us over for a ‘pre-met’ to ensure a good fit and from the moment I pulled in the driveway I knew the arrangements were perfect. Her communication from start to finish was clear and fast. Luna had an absolute blast and came back in awesome shape. Cannot wait to trust Tess with my pup again soon! 11/10 recommend.”

“Hands down, Dynette is the best pet sitter I have ever used! She went above and beyond with my dog! She kept me informed and sent me pictures throughout the week and I have never been on a trip and felt so at ease about leaving my dog! I knew that my dog was in great hands and getting lots of love! I was so pleased that I am booking her for another vacation in a few months!”
“Mandy was THE BEST with our dogs! She went over and beyond to provide the most incredible care for them. Our dogs didn’t want to leave they had such a good time and fit right in. Mandy was an excellent communicator and even sent us precious photos of our dogs making memories! She was very clean and just an overall trustworthy and kind person. I would recommend her any day!”
“Monika was great! She took good care of our goose, sending us photos so we could see how he was doing. We felt very comfortable that he was well cared for and will use her services again. Highly recommended.”
“Another great stay! Izzy really does well there and enjoys hanging out with Luna! Thank you again, really makes my trips more enjoyable knowing she is in a great place!”

“Carrie was very responsive and took great care of our doggies! She gave them many walks and kept in touch with photos and updates. She navigated behavioral quirks of the dogs with grace and wisdom.”
“Dawn and her daughters were amazing with our pup. She cared for his every need and sent us reassuring pictures throughout our time away. She gave wonderful recommendations to us and even spent some time training Bosco. We had peace of mind that that our sweet puppy was well cared for while we were away.”
“Thanks Nicole and Dave! You took such good care of my boy Archie! The daily updates with photos and videos were so very appreciated❤️ I especially appreciate your flexibility! Thank you!”
“Katie was helpful and communicative from the start. When our plans changed she was able to accommodate those changes and work with us. The flexibility was appreciated. Would be happy to work with her again.”
“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”

Heather has a very calm and kind demeanor and exudes responsibility and genuine care for animals. She walked Lucky several times a day and was great about sending pictures and updates. Her dog Hunter was super friendly and playful with Lucky. We will 100% use Heather again for dog sitting!
Kirsten took such good care of Joey while we were gone. This was the first time that Kirsten watched Joey. Her dog and my dog had a great time playing with each other, and then Joey got to snuggle with Kirsten when he needed some human connection. She sent me daily updates and photos which was appreciated to know he was doing well away from home. I recommend Kirsten and will plan to book with her in the future.
RubySue loved being with Rick, Sarah and family. Rick & Sarah were so lind to send a few pics and a video to help my separation anxiety. They made it really easy to trust them to care for my puppy. I really loved they had a dog that RubySue cld play with and get worn out by. Thank you.
Keyly responded immediately to my request message for dog care with a short notice. We arranged a meet and greet where we spent time chatting while our dogs got acquainted. I received photos and assurance the dogs were great together and Keyly provided much love and attention to my dog. She loved running around the fenced yard and sat on Keely’s lap while she was on line working! She doesn’t sit on my lap!! My dog didn’t want to leave when I picked her up. I’ll have to book Keyly early so I know I can go away and have 0 concerns about my dogs care. 🐾
Elyse was absolutely spectacular with Johnny! From the very first moment, I could tell she truly understands and loves animals. She kept me updated, was attentive to Johnny’s needs, and gave him so much love and attention while we were away. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. It’s rare to find someone who connects with pets the way Elyse does. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I’d trust her with Johnny again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!
Mandy was THE BEST with our dogs! She went over and beyond to provide the most incredible care for them. Our dogs didn’t want to leave they had such a good time and fit right in. Mandy was an excellent communicator and even sent us precious photos of our dogs making memories! She was very clean and just an overall trustworthy and kind person. I would recommend her any day!
Dropping off my pup with John & Teri felt like leaving him with family. They are incredibly kind, and geniunely care for and love your dog like their own. It helps that they speak doodle, too. The one caution is if you leave your dog there for too many days, they might end up not wanting to come back home. If you have a doodle and need a sitter, you’re doing your dog a disservice if you choose anyone else! 11/10 recommend.

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.
