“Carine, Eric & Family were absolutely wonderful! They went above and beyond to accommodate our dog’s additional needs (high separation anxiety) and adjusted their schedules to ensure someone would always be with her during the duration of her stay. The kids were so sweet with her and she has the best time playing and then soaking up all of the extra snuggles once she was tired out. We received lots of updates and pictures throughout her stay, which we very much appreciated! I would HIGHLY recommend Carine & Eric and we will absolutely be booking with them again the next time we need someone to care for our dog!”
“Andrew and his family including Gunner are fantastic hosts for Ollie who feels right at home. With the updates and pictures I can see that Ollie had a very good time. I also really appreciate how quickly Andrew communicates. It is always an excellent stay. Thank you!”
“Jeremiah and family are so caring and loving with our dear dog!! Started with daycare 3 nights and moved on to boarding for 6 nights!! Our doodle was very well loved and taken care of. Highly recommend this family!”
“Dee is the absolute best Dog sitter! Our dog Luna is a high energy dog who is also very vocal and Dee does a great job caring for her. We know we don’t have to worry as she is being spoiled.”
“Bethany and her family were wonderful with my 2 dogs. They came home so tired which was a great sign, as they were worn out. It was so wonderful to receive regular updates, gave me a real peace of mind. As well as great communication. We will definitely be a repeat customer! In fact we have booked again in a couple of weeks.”
“Katie was amazing! She was very responsive during initial communication and accommodating! Our doggo is a homebody and Katie made him feel right at home, and always kept us updated (with pictures!) on how he was doing. We had a great experience and 110% would book again!”
“Steven and Diane are sweet and experienced dog carer. Richie had a wonderful time at their house while I had my vacation without worrisome. If dog boarding needed, they will be my top choice.”
“Stacey was such a GREAT FIND. We were extremely happy with the care our Sasha received. We received photos of our little Sasha and updates almost daily. She cared for her as if her own. I will certainly reach out again for future trips.”
“Very nice young couple with plenty of play area inside and out. Penny seemed very happy and enjoyed her time. Communication was excellent. Hope to book with them again soon!”
“I was impressed with how kind, warm and considerate Patrick and his children are, Gaia took to them immediately and the pictures that were sent, were a comfort to me knowing Gaia liked and trusted them, 5 stars.”
“Nickolai was extremely responsive, professional, and considerate. My dog loved the large backyard and resident dog, and was well-cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Nickolai again”
“Jenna was great with my 9 month old pup Jasper who has lots of energy! She was very communicative and sent photos/videos each day! She responded quickly and was flexible. Thank you so much for your kindness and care with taking care of my dog!!”
“I'm jealous that we don't have a fenced in yard as Cameron looked so happy to be wandering in Kiersa's yard. Great communication by Kiersa. Have already booked again!”
About: My husband and I have watched dogs for family members for years, and we love having the opportunity to care for other people's pets! We have a 2 year old Golden Retriever of our own who we adore, so we understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. We will treat your dog like one of our own, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, and outdoor walks. We want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away! My husband and I both work outside the home, with my schedule being Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM and his schedule being more flexible. We have an established routine with our own Golden Retriever, including 2–3 walks a day and dedicated playtime every evening. Caring for dogs is already a natural part of our daily lives, and we love making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. We will work with each pet parent's needs and routine to make sure their pup receives loving, reliable care! We will love your pet the same way we love ours. Pets are allowed on furniture and treated just like family. We also keep dogs safe by keeping them on a leash when they go outside.
“Shelley took such good care of our pup, Ollie. We loved the updates and pictures we received and we could tell that Ollie was having a great time. Already have rebooked with Shelley for our next vacation. Thank you!!”
“LAN was great with my young Labradoodle. He stayed with her for two weeks while I was out of the country. She put my mind at ease by sharing pictures and videos of him playing with her dog Lucy. He seemed very comfortable and well cared for with her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Katie and her family were amazing. They made our senior dog feel part of their family. They gave medication and attended to all his needs. Not only was he cared for but he was made part of their family. We would always recommend Katie and her family to watch our dog. She sent updates all the time and pictures of our dog having a great time with the family. Truly an amazing experience.”

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Dahlgren 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 Dahlgren 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 Dahlgren.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dahlgren. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Dahlgren 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
