“Jody takes amazing care of my pup. She is very diligent and caring, and has gone above and beyond for Roma when she has been sick. I trust Jody and continue to bring my dog for regular pet sitting. Jody is great.”
About: As a current dog owner (Rosita, 30lbs), and having had dogs of my own in the past (Scooby & Walnut), I completely understand that special connection of owning a pet. They become more than just a pet, they're family. We only accept one client at a time to ensure 100% care to your pet’s needs. My husband (Andrew) and I both currently work remotely so your pet would have my full attention and the schedule flexibility. My husband Andrew & I are the only humans who live in this house (no children). As a current dog owner myself, I have experience with pet care. I also understand special needs to your furry friend. I can relate because my last doggo, Walnut had a chronic condition that required her to take medication daily, so I have experience with oral medical administration. Be assured that I will welcome your dog the same way I'd welcome anyone into my home. I'd cater to their needs and make sure the dog is enjoying their stay or visit with me! I am organized and responsible but caring at the same time. Thank you!
“My girl Tilly loves coming here nearly as much as being at home, so that's really all there is to say. Always so glad to have her stay with Madilyn, she loves socializing with cute lil' Mowgli and gets such great care.”
About: I’ve had dogs basically our whole lives and we love our dogs so much. I will give your pets the best care as possible always. I do not work outside, so I will be at my house all the time and I have a very flexible routine to care for pets. I will provide a safe environment for your pets give them constant attention, regular walks, and make sure they feel loved and comfortable all day.
“Cleo had a great time with Timmothy!! I loved his updates through the day and he asked many questions beforehand to make sure he understood how to care for her :)”
“Taylor was awesome! She accepted my booking with only 45 minutes to spare and she took adorable pics of my pup while I was out. Will definitely give her a call again!”
“Nova had a great stay with Jessie and Harley! She loved getting her zoomies out in the backyard and enjoyed a nice walk, too. By the time we got home, she was ready for a good nap. Jessie was kind, communicative, and super easy to coordinate with.”
About: I keep my home boarding low-key and personalized by welcoming only one dog, or two from the same family, at a time. So your pup will enjoy plenty of one-on-one love, play, and attention in a calm, peaceful environment where they can truly relax and feel at home. Working from home in a dog-friendly condo in Columbia Heights, I’m available all day for frequent potty breaks, companionship, and checkins. There’s no private yard, but there’s a nice shared yard with plenty of green just downstairs for some outdoor time, and we can easily do neighborhood walks. As a former puggle owner, I took care of my little Snuggles all the way through her senior years until she was 13+, so I have experience and can care for dogs at every life stage, including daily care and routine, bathing, training, administering medicine when needed, and handling their specific needs as they get older. I recently had to put my own puggle down, and while I still miss her, I have been enjoying puppy kisses from the dogs I watch, and I love sharing that same attentive care with other pups who need a cozy and reliable place to stay. My setup includes comfortable dog beds, a kennel for secure rest if needed, doggy bowls for fresh water and meals, and soft blankets for cozy napping. If your dog needs someone who’s home constantly and would do walks on a nice day, let’s do a meet & greet! I work from home most days, so I’m available all day for the pups, extra potty breaks, daytime and evening walks, play, and companionship. Once every two weeks, I may be out for a few hours at the office. I’ll coordinate ahead of time, give updates, and make sure your dog is settled. On Saturdays, I’m less flexible for check-in and check-out due to volunteer work (away for half the day). I usually let dogs roam free in the condo. They can follow me everywhere if they want, which most enjoy for that constant company. I can crate your dog if needed (for naps, meals, or if they’re more comfortable that way).

“Makaila was incredible with my pups, Meeko and Milo! I loved getting updates and pictures—it really made me feel at ease while I was away. You can tell she genuinely cares. I’ll definitely be booking again! Thanks Makaila!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have fiercely loved all the pets I've ever had. I have lots of empathy for pets, especially when they have to be separated from their family. I'm a stay home mom, so pet care fits right into my routine. I'm mostly home 24/7, so I have lots of time to play and cuddle. I have a good sized fenced in backyard. We have two friendly (and sometimes shy) cats who get along well with dogs and other cats.
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was born. I'm very comfortable and confident in giving them love and care! I've helped dog sit for my parents, friends & neighbors. I also had the amazing joy of raising a Boston Terrier to the blessed old age of 15. I helped train him as a puppy and in new ways once he lost his hearing and had memory loss in his senior years. I feel like it's a treat just having a fury presence in the house. My husband and I are both drawn to animals. I feel like they make the world a better place! They certainly add joy to mine! I work from home part-time, so that leaves me plenty of time to walk, play with and snuggle your pups! I'm available for boarding both weekdays and weekends. I have a nice size lot to get your dogs out whenever it is needed and also have many great parks & trails nearby for taking a nice long stroll. I am happy to have pets on furniture and sleep in a bed but also can give them the care they are used to (crate sleeping, dog bed, etc). Most important is that they feel comfortable!
“Kyle and his family - including his dog Coco - were awesome! Our dog can be protective/particular and they made our pup feel right at home. The fenced in backyard made for a great space for our rambunctious dog. I would definitely recommend Kyle!”
“Hopps has enjoyed his days with Kara and the family. He looks forward to playing in the yard with Oscar, walks with the kiddos and having someone to follow around all day. Kara is so great at documenting the day with pictures and reporting on his activities. I know he’s in good hands 😊”
“My dog Louie had the best day at Emily’s!! Emily works from home and keeps Louie active during the day. He loved playing with her dogs and the long walk he got! Louie will definitely be back!!”
About: I've cared for a variety of pet animals over the years, and currently own two cats of my own who I raised from kittenhood, one who was even prematurely removed from his mother. I'm currently doing mostly online schooling so with proper notice I can work with any type of sitting needs, no matter how odd the job. I'm able to board pets of any type, as I have more than enough space to seperate or integrate as your individual pet requires for a comfortable stay! I also have the flexibility to be within your home for any amount of time your pet needs.

Korina and Jerell were wonderful with Flurry and Bear! They made drop-off super easy and kept me updated throughout the day. The boys felt comfortable right away, and I really appreciated how patient and welcoming they were. We’re so glad to have found them and look forward to booking again!
Grace is absolutely amazing! Very easy to communicate with, personal, and takes wonderful care of Penny! She is extremely flexible and provides numerous updates and photos! I will continue to use Grace for all my pet needs! My dog is also so happy when she is with Grace and their dogs! She comes home tired and happy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Crystal on Rover is $36.63 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Crystal commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,777 sitters in Crystal, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
