About: Lifelong love for animals and years of personal experience caring for dogs, cats and birds. Little professional experience but wishing to expand. I have had an innate care for animals since I was a child, it comes naturally to me. I have experience with a variety of animal needs and maintenance. Working as a full-time remote attorney means I am naturally home throughout the day, allowing me to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I structure regular breaks around frequent outdoor walks, scheduled feedings, play sessions, and attentive companionship, ensuring pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection without long periods spent alone. I prioritize safety by maintaining a pet-proofed, secure environment and strictly following every owner’s exact instructions regarding feeding, medications, and temperament. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I practice vigilant outdoor leash control, double-check all secure entryways, and send regular photo updates to build complete trust and peace of mind.

“Lely and Mark were so sweet to our dogs! Our dogs are not particularly easy (one is very high energy and one is a recent rescue with trust issues)- Lely and Mark made them comfortable and happy. We loved getting photos and updates along the way! It was easy to see that the dogs were having a good time. Lely and Mark seemed really excited to see our dogs, and were very welcoming. They were amazing!”
“Kira was a great communicator and sent photos throughout the day. I liked knowing that Bandit had some dog friends but also got more person attention than at a big daycare. He came home tired!”

“This was our first doggy care time with William. Our experience with Meet and Greet a few days and today's doggy care day care was very positive. William is easy going and accommodates well. Our dog Leo was excited to be with him this morning. I can see Leo doing this every time he goes to William's house. Definitely will send Leo to be with him in the future.”
“Lindsey was great with communication and sent photos. She was patient as Hogan was a bit nervous but super thankful she is comfortable with larger dogs. Would use her again for sure!”
“Maureen is a very animal loving person. She sent a picture and a video. By the info she provided about Studly I knew he really liked her!!! Even when we dropped him off he made himself at home instead of his usual separation anxiety issue. We highly recommend Maureen and will definitely use her again!!!”

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 1,753 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.
