“Lisa & Drew and their young boys took excellent care of Buck. Lisa communicated above and beyond with updates on how Buck was acclimating to a new environment as well as cute pics of Buck playing with the boys. I highly recommend Lisa & Drew if you are looking for a trust worthy and responsible pet sitter for your pet.”

“We were a little nervous leaving our rescue puppy, Bosco, for the first time and for such a long time. We were gone 11 days, and not having left him before, we didn't know what to expect. Cheyann took great care of Bosco! She sent us pictures everyday and he had a great time! It helped that Cheyann also had other dogs at the same time, as this provided plenty of play time. Just as you child proof a room for children, Cheyann has made her home "puppy proof". Bosco had plenty of room to roam and play. We got pictures of him on the couch, looking out the windows, in the backyard, on Cheyann's lap and trying out the cat bed! We will definitely use Cheyann the next time we are out of town.”

“We were so thankful Dee was available to watch Hazel again this year so we could take a family vacation to California for the week 💕! Dee again was an excellent dog sitter who sent daily pics and updates and gave Hazel great care while we were gone. I swear our pup was sad to come home since she had such a good time! Thanks again for all you do, Dee! We appreciate you so much!!”

“This was our first trip since getting our puppy and initially I had thought we would board her at the local dog boarding facility but then I luckily looked into a local dog sitter and found Becky. She was so sweet and Honey took to her quickly on our meet and greet prior to our vacation so I knew it was going to be a good fit. Becky was great! She kept us updated on how things were going and eased my anxiety of leaving our still learning and occasionally naughty puppy with her family. I got photos and videos which were so fun to see, especially the ones of Honey playing and hanging out with her kids. She really was just one of the family for the week. I will definitely recommend Becky’s dog sitting business and use her in the future. Thanks again for taking care of our little fur baby.”

“We tried day care for the first time through Rover to prepare our pup for overnight boarding with Aish. I am very happy we found a loving home in Aish’s - Zola was significantly happier than when we pick her up from her previous kennel. She loved the company of Scooby and his humans ? I really appreciated the regular updates and photos sent … I feel good knowing she’ll be in good hands on her next visit!”

“⸻ I found Shelby K. on Rover, and this is the second time I’ve booked her to care for my 10-year-old dog, Marley. Once again, she did a fantastic job—taking Marley on multiple walks each day and sending plenty of photo updates that gave me such peace of mind. Marley always looks happy and relaxed with her, which says so much about Shelby’s caring and reliable nature. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and I feel very lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Shelby to anyone on Rover looking for a thoughtful, caring, dependable sitter!”

This was our first Rover and at first we were apprehensive to book, however, Katrina and Drew did a great job taking care of our two dogs. We got to meet Katrina and Drew before booking and immediately knew our dogs would be in good hands. They are nice and easy going people which we naturally gravitated towards. While we were gone they sent us pictures and updates of the dogs. Would definitely recommend. We will use them again over a dog boarding place in a heartbeat.

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 Elko 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 Elko.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Elko 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.
