“Can you give double 5 star ratings?? Margarita was so wonderful for us and our fur baby! She treated Pip like part of the family, sent us pictures, created fun videos, dealt with the spring shedding season, and even gave him a bath so he would be clean for the trip we were taking after picking him up. She is amazing!”

She kept me posted with pictures and notes about his day and sent him home with a goodies bag as well at the end. She is great source to leave your beloved dog child with!”

“Dondee is awesome!! Our dog, Rylee love to visit Dondee. We do not board our dog very much but Dondee makes the process much easier. She sent us lots of photos and videos, which made us feel much better about leaving her. Rylee had a blast playing with Oscar and Ginger , the cat. Would not consider going anywhere else. Thank you again. The McConnell Family.”

“From the moment we entered the location on our initial meet and greet before actual booking, I got the sense that Mercy would fit in and feel at home. That was absolutely true! I definitely plan on booking Holly again in the future. Holly provided a space where Mercy was able to be herself at that first meeting. She had a kennel available for her, but I doubt she even used it. They stated "if she wants to sleep on our bed, that's where she'll sleep!" That warmed my heart and made me feel incredibly comfortable leaving Mercy with her family. However, they were happy to honor my suggestion of kenneling Mercy if there was no one at home since that is what we provide for Mercy at home. I have no doubt Mercy will willingly and joyfully return to Holly again!”

About: Plenty of attention and affection to give you four-legged family member. Quiet, gravel road walks and giant yard to play in. Or comfortable space for R&R. Either way, or both, your pet will be right at home! An adult is home during most hours of the day. Evenings, older kids will be home as well. Outside time in all weather is important to our family. Your pet would be the only animal in the home. We have an indoor/outdoor cat that will surely prefer outdoor during dog boarding:) Able to accommodate different feeding schedules. Your pet will have outdoor time multiple times per day. No fenced in areas.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and needs. Over the years, I’ve been trusted to care for pets while their owners are away, making sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of love and attention. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. I pay close attention to each dog’s normal routine and personality so they can feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing outside, cuddling on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the kind of care they’re used to. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure you feel comfortable too. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can see how your pup is doing while they’re with me! 🐾 I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for your pup! I also have a Golden Retriever of my own, so walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention are already a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give your dog plenty of attention and companionship without them being left alone for long periods of time. I’m happy to adjust to their normal feeding, walking, and potty schedule so they can feel as comfortable as possible. Having another furry friend around would be a welcome addition to our day! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. We live on just over 5 acres with plenty of space to explore and our own walking trails throughout the property, which are perfect for getting outside, going on walks, and getting some energy out! Since I already have a Golden Retriever of my own, our home is very dog-friendly and we naturally have plenty of dog toys, supplies, and space for pups to feel comfortable. Our property is not fenced, so dogs will never be allowed to roam outside unsupervised. I’m more than happy to use a secure in-ground tie-out for dogs who are comfortable with one, or keep them leashed whenever we’re outside. I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I’ll always follow your instructions and do my best to make your pup feel safe, loved, and at home while they’re in my care. Before their stay, I’d love for you to tell me a little about your pup—their personality, daily routine, favorite things, any quirks or tendencies they may have, and anything else you think I should know. The more I know about them, the better I can make their time with me feel comfortable and familiar! 🐾

“Devon is a very experienced dog sitter. She was intuitive and kind to my Pepper (13 year old German Pincher). In spite Pepper upending her garbage and stealing chicken off the counter she took everying in stride. Devon communicates very well, responding daily with pictures and updates She also has a huge fenced in yard which is a plus.”

About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for two years as well as owning dogs since I was young. My whole family has pets in which I help to babysit at times. I love all dogs.. the older ones are my favorite however since I do have a 9 year old rescue who is my whole life! I love working with puppies on simple tricks as well as chilling with the older dogs in the sun! I currently work full time. I have quite a bit of free time most weekends as well as a few days during the week. I’m available after 5pm as well on the days I do work. At my home I do not have a fence:( i do have leashes as well as a in ground leash if needed. I let my dog and any visiting dogs free roam the house, but if it’s needed we have a porch to seclude them while still giving them room and a nice outside view. Everyone is more than welcome on the couches and beds<3

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 Dodge Center 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 Dodge Center.

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 Dodge Center 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.
