“Catherine was absolutely wonderful! This was Zuri's first time staying away from home and Catherine went above and beyond to make her feel at home. Catherine sent daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated, and lots of special treats and special love were given. Zuri also enjoyed having another dog to play with, as she is an only child. I would highly recommend Catherine and will definitely use her again.”

“This was my first time using rover and not personally knowing the person made me nervous but after meeting Jessica I felt totally at ease leaving my dogs with her! Her family were all very sweet and clearly are dog lovers. I was able to get pictures and videos everyday which I love getting:) I will be for sure to have Jessica watch them again when I leave town again. I couldn’t recommend someone more she was the sweetest and treated my dogs like I do!”

“I can’t recommend Brooke enough! This was Archie’s first stay with a sitter since our move, and I was honestly so nervous leaving him. From the moment I met her, I knew he was in great hands. She kept me updated throughout his stay, and it was such a relief knowing he was safe, loved, and treated like one of her own. Archie settled in so well, ate all of his meals, and even made himself at home (including sleeping in bed with her 😂), which says so much about the environment she provides. As a flight attendant, finding someone I can truly trust with my dog while I’m away is invaluable, and I’m so incredibly thankful I found Brooke. She is kind, communicative, and genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Archie came home happy, relaxed, and I already know she’ll be my go-to sitter moving forward. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet like family, I wholeheartedly recommend her! Thank you again, Brooke! ❤️”

About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was 6 years old. I’ve had German Shepards, Pugs, Labs, Boxers, puggles and mixed breeds. I love all dogs~ and am currently dog free. I will care for yours as I would my own- like children. 🥰. I’ve had a long career in Human Resources, and with that comes great responsibility, trust and integrity. I have clean background- not even a parking ticket. I enjoy playing with dogs, petting them (maybe some smooches as evidenced in my photos) and giving plenty of love and attention. I can walk dogs, feed them, give medicine, throw a few balls - whatever their favorite activity is just let me know! I have had special needs dogs as well- so special circumstances are not a problem. Thanks!

About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and grew up with dogs in the family. I've had my own dog, Sully, for over six years and have experience fostering dogs of different ages and personalities. Since I was 12, I've cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away 💛 Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for each week. I work a hybrid schedule and am home on Wednesdays and Fridays, making those great days for daycare, boarding, or drop-in visits. I'm also available most weekends and for longer stays. I share my home with my dog, Sully, a friendly 30-pound dog who loves meeting new friends. Your pet will get lots of attention, exercise, and care while they're with me! 🐾 When caring for pets in my home, I treat them like part of the family. They'll receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and outdoor exercise throughout the day. My apartment has access to a fenced-in dog area, and I'm surrounded by great walking trails, so your pup will get lots of opportunities to explore and burn off energy. Pets are welcome on the furniture and can make themselves at home while they're here. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or extra snuggles, I'll make sure they receive attentive, personalized care. I do ask that we schedule a meet-and-greet before any booking. I have a friendly 30-pound dog named Sully, and I like to make sure everyone gets along and that it's a great fit for both pets and owners. 🐾

Sarah was amazing. She was able to take my service dog last minute when I was passing through and ended up in the hospital. I also had to extend Potter's stay a few day and she was flexible and accommodating. Potter also loved his time there. He struggles with new places and people and they made him feel right at home. Sarah and her family put Potter and me at ease while I worked on getting better. Thank you!!!

This was Winnie and Sunny's 3rd stay with Aastha and Daniel and we were once again so pleased with the experience. Our girls couldn't wait to jump out of the car upon our arrival as they always have so much fun exploring the backyard, watching the cats through the window, playing fetch, etc. Aastha and Daniel's communication is top notch! We love the daily photos and updates we receive. Thank you again!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
