“Jess was great with our 7 month old, challenging puppy. I think Tilly felt at home while she was there. They took her for walks and kept her entertained. Would definitely use Jess again.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful and very accommodating! If we ever are in Red Wing and need boarding we will definitely call Elizabeth! She is a great communicator and sent pictures of our Buster and Teddy!!”
“Gigi's first visit with Andrea was great! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent me pictures. She took Gigi for a long walk and Gigi had fun interacting with her dogs. Definitely will go back.”
“We had a great stay with Amanda and Michael! Our dog was there for 9 nights and we got updates daily as well as they reached out with any questions or concerns that came up which I really appreciated! Our dog came back happy and they seemed to treat her like family.”
“Very friendly people who made my Pom feel comfortable and happy. Great to have a very accessible backyard fence to roam and play with their two dogs. Someone home all the time. Great communication and photos each day.”
“Ruby had a great time with this sweet family. Kyle was very responsive and sent lots of pictures for us to see while we were away. She came home seeming to have good energy, which tells me she was happy there. Thanks for caring for our fur baby! Hope we meet again!”
“Jasmine was such an excellent sitter! It was clear she really cared for my puppy and treated her as if she were her own puppy. She was very attentive and replied quickly to any questions or concerns I had. Highly recommended!”
About: We are both experienced pet owners, Lukas grew up on a farm and continues to work with 4-H and FFA organizations. Rhianna grew up with dogs in her home and currently raises our 5 rabbits! Rhianna works as a nurse so there will be days when she is working full 12 hour shifts, but then there are times she has several days off in a row. Scheduling happens about 8-10 weeks in advanced so she should have plenty of time to work something out! Lukas works a more regular 9-5 schedule but has Fridays off for some more flexibility. You can trust that while your dog is staying at our house, they will be showered with love and attention. We don’t have kids or dogs of our own so they will get focused care and play time! We don’t have a fully fenced yard but are willing to go to dog parks and on walks to get the wiggles out. We have caged rabbits that are in a closed off room in our house so there will be no interaction between them and your pet.
“We had an amazing experience with Carley and Austin! They took fantastic care of Walter and were so easy to work with. They are incredibly nice and kept me updated with great communication throughout the stay. We’ll definitely be using them again—highly recommend!”
“Brianna is awesome!! She is reliable, understanding, and took great care of my sister’s dog with short notice, accommodating our crazy schedule during a wedding. She really went above and beyond for us. I highly recommend booking with Brianna!”
“Tom was great and our Golden Retriever received the attention he needed while we were out of town for a week! He went over and beyond by remaining flexible when our flight was delayed and the pictures we received while out of town were amazing! Highly recommend. Thanks Tom!”
About: I have owned dogs for over 50 yrs and love working w them and creating a safe space for them to explore. Welcome to my home! I currently work part time as a nurse and will have lots of time to spend supervising your furbabies in my yard. I will treat them as if they are my own and keep them safe. I have a large fenced in yard and doggy door to lead into it. I have a little friendly dog that loves other dogs and be happy to play. I have plenty of time to supervise your pups and exercise them in a fenced in space.
“Diana scheduled a meet and greet before watching our dog, and she was so warm and welcoming. I could see her love for dogs immediately. She sent updates with photos and Daisy seemed right at home and well taken care of. So happy to find someone trustworthy and caring to watch our dog while we’re away!”
“Hallie was a great find to sit for our dogs on short notice. She was very accommodating in timing of drop off and was great at keeping us posted on the dogs' activities during our absence. The dogs enjoyed themselves thoroughly and we hope to be able to use Hallie more in the future!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
97% of sitters in Goodhue can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Goodhue 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 Goodhue.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Goodhue. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Goodhue 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
