“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”

“We had a great experience with Andrea. She was very quick to respond to our initial request for care and went the extra mile by requesting to meet Moka prior to actually caring for her to make sure they were going to get along okay. She was very flexible on her drop-off and pick-up times and made sure to keep us informed with pictures and messages during Moka's stay.”

“10 STARS !!!!!! Our sitter canceled at the last minute and Katelynn was able to take all three dogs. We were leaving for a 10 day cruise trip and so appreciate her taking them in. These boys received absolutely THE best care. WE could tell through the pics and video we received. Katelynn was thorough, confident, loving and definitely trustworthy. We could not be happier! Oscar, Rain, and Jasper had a great time with Katelynn, I could tell! Do yourself a favor and book your pups in a beautiful home with lots of doggie love! Thanks again to Katelynn and her husband for making our vacation a relaxing one!”

“Kyle and his family will make sure that your pet will get plenty of TLC, exercise, and outside time in their fenced in backyard. Their two school aged boys came running out to greet us at drop off, and helped carry in all of Finley’s bags, food, and toys. We weren’t even gone for a half hour, and they sent a picture of Finley snuggled in with the kids on their blankets. It’s comforting knowing that our dog felt that comfortable in such a short amount of time. I would highly recommend this family to care for your pet. They truly are a blessing.”

“Wonderful family! Needed help watching our dog for 1.5 days over the Memorial Day weekend with less than a week to go and Erin and Brandon sure helped out! Communication was great throughout and even before the stay! Our anxious pup seemed at ease with everyone in the family from first meet and I could tell she was being well taken care of just from the pics. Everything about the stay was easy and I already told them that I’d be requesting them again in the near future!”

I didn’t worry about him in the slightest while we were away, just missed him! Thank you so much Elizabeth ❤️”

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 Genoa 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 Genoa.

<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 Genoa 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.
