“There aren't enough words to describe how awesome Rebekah and her family were to our little pup while we were on vacation. From the daily updates, to making her feel like a part of their family, they truly were amazing every step of the way. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing boarding”
“Our dog Miles was welcomed into their home immediately. He was loved and well cared for. Thomas was an excellent communicator and was committed to providing top notch service. We will definitely take Miles back!”
“Jen was fantastic! My kids were happy and having fun with Jen and her pups and they came home tuckered out from their vacation - just like I was! My girls are already booked for a return visit! She makes drop-off and pick-up a breeze too!”
“Emma our rescue pit/lab which we have only had for roughly 3 months did good for her very first time leaving her. She came back with more manners and listens better. Thanks to Christina for not only boarding, but help us in training our puppy. We would love to have Emma stay with her again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Growing up with dogs, I quickly became in tune with their needs and can form a bond quickly! I go above and beyond to make every dog I meet feel loved and welcomed. I grew up with cats, dogs, and horses. I’m currently home with my little boy for the summer so my availability is virtually wide open! I’ll be able to provide walks, pets, and so much more. I have an outdoor kennel with a nice house in it if needed. Otherwise, I can provide a crate inside in a calm environment. My 2 dogs are around to play with your dog as well! If you’re worried about my dogs and your dog getting along, I can separate them-no problem.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Linzy & her family! Sadie absolutely loved them and came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. 🐾❤️ If your dog loves kids, this is a fantastic option! They were so sweet with her, and it was obvious she had a great time being part of their family for a bit. We felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such a loving home. We would absolutely recommend and would happily book with them again!”
“They gave excellent care to our dog. They went on daily walks, played lots of fetch, and provided lots of care and affection for her. They sent lots of pictures and made us confident she was being taken care of well. I’d highly recommend them!”
About: What sets me apart is lifelong experience—dogs have been part of my everyday life since I was 4, so I treat every dog like family. I am a new cat mama as well and will treat all cats like family as well! I’m currently enrolled in online schooling, and that means I have a lot of time to be with my animals and your animals. I’m energetic, responsible, and love spending time with pets, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just giving them attention and affection. I treat every dog like part of my family and want to make sure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I care for pets like they’re family. At my home, they get lots of play, cuddles, and a big field to run in, and always supervised. In your home, I follow their routine, give attention, and keep them safe and comfortable. Happy pets, happy humans…every time.
“Kacey took such fantastic care of my puppy! Sent regular updates while I was away, made sure she got plenty of exercise, stayed safe, gave her some awesome tummy friendly treats and even bathed her! It gave me complete peace of mind knowing my puppy was being well cared for while I was away. Thank you Kacey!”
About: I’ve grown up with having both cats and dogs of my own my entire life so I know the proper way to care for them. I understand both the needs of animals and how to tend to those specific needs. I love all kinds of animals and spending time with them so much that I would love to go into some type of career where I can be around them and care for them. I’ve always had positive experiences when around animals and have never had any problems being able to connect with them. I would prefer walking smaller dogs but have no problem sitting both large and small dogs/ any size dog. I would also be happy to take care of and watch cats also.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Day 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 Day.
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.
You and your Day 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.
