About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and have worked at a dog boarding kennel. Our family has a 2 year old golden retriever and we’re hoping for her to make some furry friends and get energy out! My husband and I work from home, someone will be home with your dog all of the time. We enjoy family walks and love being outdoors with our pets. We have over 2 acres of unfenced space for your pup to play! We have 3 kids that will also love on your dog (respectfully!)
“Trish & Robert were wonderful hosts for Ruby. She had a great time running around their backyard when we met and kept me in the loop with regular updates and photos. Would definitely be looking to see if they are available the next time I have to travel without Ruby.”
“My dog needed some medication administered at the last minute (got her diagnosis the day before leaving on a trip), and Jessica stepped in administered her meds three times per day during her stay. I'm so thankful for that!”
“Liss was amazing when it came to taking care of our 11 week old puppy. We were nervous to leave him behind as we went on our week long trip however Liss showed confidence in taking care of biscuit and we absolutely loved the friendly updates with photos of our pup. Thank you Liss!”
“Sachi was very well cared for while we were away. A shared video clips and photos every day and we could see she was happy and felt right at home with An. We highly recommend An.”
“Timmothy was wonderful! It was our first time leaving our puppy so we weren’t sure how it would go…but we got daily updates and lots of photos/videos showing our Izzy having so much fun! We will definitely be using Timmothy again!”
“Kay and her family were absolutely amazing with my little Ralo. I received pictures and updates throughout his stay there; which was very comforting to me and my family. Kay was very attentive and even introduced me to some new treats that Ralo thoroughly enjoys now. I would 10/10 recommend them to anyone with a pet they love.”
“Myria was a great dog sitter. She is very friendly/ communicates well. She watched my 9 month old puppy for 10 days and I felt very comfortable leaving her with Myria and her family. I highly recommend her.”
“Sandy was wonderful. This was the first time we were leaving our 9 month old puppy for more than two days. She put us at ease with her daily communication and pictures of our Maddox. He was happy and healthy when we returned home to pick him up. We'd recommend Sandy to anyone.”
“We highly recommend Kyle! Our dog, Waffles, loves to stay with them, we have used Kyle several times for long trips and we appreciate the updates he sends us and love that our dog just gets to join in on their day to day routine! Love coming home from a trip to a happy and tired dog.”
“Logan is knowledgeable and caring about all things animals. She initiated a Meet & Greet before the first time caring for our pups and it was important to her to get familiar with our family. During their first stay, she provided updates, sent pics and followed all of our care instructions. When my flight was delayed, she kindly agreed to a later pick-up.”
“Katie is THE BEST! This is the second time Katie has watched our cat Ruthie. After the wonderful care she provided the first time, we had no hesitation asking her to watch Ruthie during our 15 day trip. She sent updates and pictures daily, and I could tell Ruthie was having a wonderful stay. When we picked her up, she didn’t want to leave! Thanks again Katie!”
“Bethany, Tony and the entire family were excellent with our dog, Gracie. She is a very nervous dog, but she was quickly at ease with their family. They sent a number of photos and updates, and she was clearly enjoying her time there. We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Marlene took such great care of our dog. She absolutely loves dogs and treated her as a member of her family. We were kept up to date on our dog’s day-to-day along with pictures. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Yuri was amazing with Cheyenne! He sent lots of pictures of their outdoor adventures, which she loved. He was very responsive and accommodating to my last-minute request, and he even graciously offered to keep Cheyenne an extra day after our long trip home. I highly recommend Yuri and will definitely reach out next time I need a sitter.”
“Leigh did a great job with our two dogs. She sent pictures and kept us updated. It gave us piece of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were on vacation. She stayed up with our dog during a bad thunderstorm in the middle of the night. Thank you Leigh! Will book again.”

Kiersa was so great! We ended up losing our previous dog sitter the day before our trip and Kiersa was so flexible and to accommodate us. It turns out that I think we have found our new pet sitter forever! Blue has never been so happy to arrive at a home and when he returned home is is in the best spirits. Usually he is tired and a little grumpy, but today he is light, and his happy self! Thank you so much, Kiersa! We will book with you again... I promise we will give a little more notice next time. Thanks again!
Sophia was an amazing pet sitter for our golden retriever!! She gave him so much love and attention and sent lots of adorable photos. It was so clear how happy he was and how much fun he had with Sophia, which made us feel great while we were away. I highly recommend Sophia and look forward to booking with her again! Thank you Sophia!
Cinder always has the best time at Jeremiah’s! He was so excited as we pulled up to the house and Cinder realized where we were. Jeremiah and his family always take wonderful care of Cinder, and are great communicators. We’re especially grateful that Jeremiah was so accommodating with our drop off and pickup schedule requests. Thank you!!
Piper had an amazing time at Amy’s house and came home nice and tired!! Amy also provided updates daily with cute pictures. Piper was able to play with her dog and young kids and she also had an invisible fence collar that Piper could wear so she wouldn’t run out of the yard. Will be using Amy again!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
