“can't say enough about the care that my dog Moose got from KiirstenC while I traveled over the holiday. ! It was our first experience with Rover. Moose was well fed, played with, snuggled, and truly loved by Kiirstenn and her family. She sent me texts and pictures while I was gone updating me on his activities. Moose is a Shih Tzu, Kiirsten's dog is also a Shih Tzu. She gets us! I can honestly say that I did not worry about Moose all the while I was gone. I would call upon Kiirsten to leave Moose with whenever I need to travel again, knowing he is loved and well taken care of when I cant be with him.”
“Kelly and Zac were AMAZING hosts to our pup Kona. We’ve only ever had family watch our Kona, so we were a little nervous to try something new. We had nothing to fear. Kelly and Zach made Kona feel right at home. They sent daily updates, took her on walks, and gave her all the love! Highly recommend :)”
“Alyssa is now our go-to sitter and we can’t say enough good things! She sends us tons of pictures and updates us on our Junie’s activities, and Junie always comes home happy and like she’s had a great time! Junie also gets along great with Alyssa’s pup, which is an added plus. When I leave Junie with Alyssa I can always relax assured that she’s in the absolute best hands. Two thumbs (and four paws) up!”
“Megan and her family were so amazing and attentive to our sweet girl Millie! She had so much fun and loved on so much that she didn’t want to come home lol. We are so thankful that Millie was in good hands while we traveled!”
About: Hello Everyone, My family and I love our pets! We currently have three fir babies. Chocolate Lab, Nilla, Pomeranian, Aurora and Cat, Audrey Hepburn. There is not a moment in time where they will be left alone in our home even when they want to nap in the sunshine. I will be close to make sure when they wake up they know they are not alone. If they have extra zoomies we can go on extra walks or play outside with toys. Our goal is to make sure they have the best quality time possible. If you have a fir baby in need of extra attention and they love kids and other pets we are here for your needs! We are here to help, we are home and available 24/7 for your needs. We know it’s hard to leave them home, so bring them here and we will give even the most stressed fir baby a great and relaxing time. I will be with them as long as they are in our home. Matters on the weather and the parents needs. But we love playing outside in our fenced yard. Love taking walks we are very close to parks. If you have a specific diet and timeline we will follow that. Also if you have medication for them we can help out with that as well. We just want them to feel like family while they are in our home.
“Katie is always the first sitter we look for to watch our Law. She’s always very responsive and provides lots of photos of our boy! Law gets lots of time with other dogs with Katie which we like and always comes home very happy.”
“McFly had a wonderful time staying with Jennifer and her pup, Harlow. Our dogs got along great, as evidenced by the pupdates we received, and McFly seemed right at home when we went to pick him up after four nights. We will definitely utilize Jennifer's services again in the future!”
“Jaime has been wonderful with our Golden Retriever, Jackson. She takes him on long walks, sends daily pictures and updates, and gives us such peace of mind while we’re away. From the moment we met her at the meet and greet, we could tell she would be a great fit. Her home is beautiful, and the fenced yard gives Jackson plenty of room to safely play and explore. We are so thankful for the care and attention she’s given him and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”
“Leah was fantastic and Mazzie had a great weekend with her. Lenny and Mazzie have many similar traits so they got along very well. Leah kept in touch with me throughout her weekend stay with messages and pictures. We will definitely use her again!”
“I highly recommend Jessie. She was so great to our dog Ivy; she took her on walks, car rides, to Bachman's, and gave Ivy treats (approved by us). Jessie sent us updates every single night with lots of pictures. Ivy definitely missed Jessie once she got back home 🥰”
“Clyde loved staying with Deneen. He ate well (which he doesn't usually do at someone else's house), got lots of attention and exercise, and seemed very happy! Thanks, Deneen!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing with 👻! They sent regular updates and photos, which totally put me at ease while I was away. 👻 came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Emily genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. Will definitely be booking again—highly recommend!”
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!
“My dog was very comfortable and happy at Ruby’s. The family is very accommodating and really loves dogs. They took great care of him. It is also nice they have a fenced backyard. I also appreciate the time they took to meet and greet my dog and hear all the details about his care.”
“April was great!! Exceptional communication and clearly has a place in her heart for the dogs she boards. We had full confidence Teddy was well taken care of. We will be using April in the future for boarding needs.”
“Valentina did such a wonderful job taking care of our corgi! She sent daily updates and always responded promptly. She spoiled our corgi with walks across the stone arch bridge and many tummy rubs.”
“Susan did a wonderful job making our older dog feel comfortable and welcome in her home. She is an excellent communicator and sent multiple updates so we knew she was in great hands . I don’t think our dog wanted to come home!”
“Sue did a WONDERFUL job watching our dog! We received daily pics and updates, and sometimes cute videos! Our dog has a few special needs and Sue was great at being accommodating and accepting. We trusted Sue with our pup and will be using her again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Golden Valley
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!

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.

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.
