“Emily was absolutely amazing with our dog, Roxie! She was very upfront in warning us that her dog, Elliot, can come on a little strong at first (which he definitely did lol) but he and Roxie became best friends almost immediately after. Emily sent tons of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which made us feel so comfortable knowing Roxie was happy and having fun. It was obvious from every update how much Roxie loved her. We would absolutely trust Emily with Roxie again and highly recommend her!”
“Maria is great with my senior dog Henry. She made sure he was eating well and administered all his medications. She’s in a great location for boarding and is always pleasant to work with with. Thanks so much, Maria! ☺️”
“Gabrielle and her husband took wonderful care of Odie. Odie had a great time playing with their dog who is the same age. When Odie had some itchiness, she let me know and took steps to help resolve it. She provided pics each day and a brief recap.”
“I can tell my dog had a great stay with Sonny, and I appreciate her schedule flexibility and text updates with photos! I would definitely book another stay with Sonny for my pup in the future.”
“Hershey loves staying with Amanda and her family. He had a great stay, got lots of exercise/playtime, and lots of snuggles. Can't wait to stay with his friends again!”
“Kira is an absolutely wonderful; I am so glad I found her! She took excellent care of my puppy and was always looking out for her. She takes incredible photos and shared them with me frequently, which I really appreciated. She was prompt and easily accessible to correspond with and I appreciated her flexibility. My puppy loved her and her dogs and was comfortable staying with her for daycare and for boarding. I highly recommend Kira!”
“This was my first booking with Rover and Jennifer made me feel like my Bristol was in very good hands. She was very sweet and attentive and sent cute pictures and updates.”
“This is the second time Charlie has stayed with Annalise and her family! We recently moved to the twin cities and one of our main concerns was finding a great dog sitter. We could tell right away how much Annalise loves dogs and we were so happy that Charlie got along with her dog right away too! He especially loves her yard! We love getting updates on how he is doing and it helps us feel better when we have to be away from him. Would completely recommend Annalise to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“I really can't say enough positive things about Howie. Right before a weekend trip, I was lamenting to a coworker about leaving my dog Norman at doggy boarding for the weekend. At 10 years old, the loud and busy boarding environment has outpaced Norman. Picking Norman up from doggy boarding- you'd think he was escaping from prison--and the net effects of his stay would last way longer. Well, I contacted Howie in the 11th hour, assumed some risk by bypassing a meet and greet, and Norman spent the weekend with Howie and his wife. Howie sent pictures of a very content and happy looking Norman throughout the weekend, and when we picked Norman up, he was as happy and carefree as ever. It's been two days, and I can tell how much Norman was cared for, played with, and attended to. The only downside is Norman's probably wondering where his new friend Howie is. Highly recommend.”
“Lori was amazing! She made Nipsey feel like a part of the family! She updated me everyday and sent pictures of Nipsey. Nipsey definitely enjoyed himself and we will most certainly book her again!”
“Caitlin is a very good sitter. She took care of my two old girls, who take medication and are both on special diets. I felt like they were very safe in Caitlin's care.”
“We had a great experience boarding with Susie! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. In fact, after seeing the photos and getting reports, we were worried our dog may not want to come home with us! Thank you!”
“Our dog loved staying with Justin! Justin was super responsive and I loved that he had dog beds, bowls, extra leashes and everything my dog needed! They went on plenty of walks and my dog was happily exhausted when we picked him up! I'll definitely use Justin again.”
“Taylor provided excellent care to my pups. She communicated regularly and sent pictures during their stay. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommends”
“Maureen was so accommodating with our last minute search for care for our 9 month old puppy. Being our first time leaving Addie overnight, we were somewhat apprehensive. However, Maureen put our mind at ease with listening to our needs and requests, her reassurance, and in providing the care we wanted our puppy to have. The texts throughout the day and pictures of Addie reassured us we made the right decision in choosing Maureen. We will definitely contact her in the future when the need arises.”

Terrie took excellent care of our Nellie for 13 days while we were on vacation abroad. Knowing Nellie was in good hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciated the wonderful care, attention, and love Terrie gave her. We would highly recommend Terrie to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! ❤️
Maria was amazing! She was very attentive and I could tell by all the pictures and videos that my girls were well taken care of and felt at home in her care. I highly recommend booking with Maria, she made my trip stress free knowing my dogs were in good care.
Annalise and her family always provide a fun and reliable home away from home for our pup! Their large back yard is a great place to run around and their toddler is a good buddy to hang around with. Annalise is easy to communicate with and very flexible. Thank you!! We can't wait to come again!
Ericka was amazing! It was our first time ever having our dog stay with a sitter who wasn't family and we felt so confident and reassured knowing he was under Erika's care. Ericka has great communication and sent us lots of photo updates. Our dog was super well taken care of and gained a new friend! Thank you Erika! I would recommend Erika to any dog family!
Susan and Craig did a fantastic job taking care of Cooper while we were in Europe! This has been the longest that I have been away from our fur baby for this long and I knew he was in great hands. They are great communicators and do an excellent job handling all of Cooper's different food preferences. They also do a great job managing his anxiety during storms/fireworks. We are grateful to have found them.
Aastha and Daniel were absolutely fantastic care providers for our anxious Maltese Hank. We had a Meet and Greet and we immediately could tell Hank would be happy in their large, fenced backyard and their comfortable home. They asked all the right questions and seemed undaunted by giving Hank his medications or Hank’s tendency to bark a lot—but they seem to have the magic touch because they said Hank didn’t bark very much while we were gone. They sent many daily reports and photos so we always knew how things were going. Aastha and Daniel are warm, friendly and also highly educated, so we knew they know what to do in an emergency and be responsible. They both work from home and only take one pet to care for at a time, so your pet gets the best and the safest care. We highly recommend them and will be using them again!
Dillon was fantastic once again! I had some work being done on my house where they needed one extra day & Dillon let me book a daycare visit at his home so Piggie wasn’t stressed with new folks in the house and their tools making noise. Piggie never misses a beat when getting picked up from his time with Dillon! Thanks again for the short notice booking & summarizing/debrief your time with my dog!
Highly recommended, Sarah was flexible with a meet & greet last minute change, dropping off my dog early and picking him up late, she sent photos and I could see Frankie was having a great time and was well taken care of while I was away. Also, made time for a week long stay on very short notice. She'll be the first I contact next time!

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 Meet & Greet .
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. 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
