“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!”
“Lindsay is amazing and Monty loved his time with her and her family. She always kept me informed on my dog’s status with photos and updates. Would highly recommend her for dog sitting as she’ll be our go to sitter.”
“Thank you to Dustin for taking care of my pup! I think my dog had a great time with Sophie, and I was at ease during my whole vacation knowing he was safe and happy!”
“Timmothy is a great communicator! We didn't have a set schedule, and he was easy to negotiate pick-up and drop-off times with. Our daily proof-of-life photos were charming (and impressive, considering our dog is camera averse;). We look forward to working with Timmothy again.”
“We have a challenging puppy, but he loves his time with Terrie. She has made a real connection with him. Our other pup also enjoys his visit. Thanks Terrie.”
“Great experience, took amazing care of my dog, and responded quickly. Also sent me pics throughout the day and my boy looked so happy. Also super convenient if you’re in the U of M area!”
“Judy does a great job with Precious. She posted about her playtime and mentioned how she throws the toys around. This was our 3rd time with Judy and would do it again.”
“My dog had so much fun with Promise and her family! Promise sent updates and was easy to communicate with. She took great care of my pet. I will book again with her!”
“Jacquie did a great job! King had a great time and came back home tired! She was also quick to help us out when he needed a sitter in such short notice! ”
“Jordan has been watching our English bulldog Marge here and there throughout the year. Most recently he watched her while we were out of the country for two weeks. He always takes great care of her, sends us regular updates, and is flexible when travel plans change. Marge loves staying with Jordan, and we love having a great sitter for her!”
“Nathan was wonderful with our dog while we were away. He and his family helped Finn welcomed, and at Finn's pace! We appreciated the check-ins and knowing that Finn felt comfortable meeting new friends, playing, and cuddling up on the couch, like he does at home.”
“Jennifer, Eric and their kids did a wonderful job sitting for Hiro. You could tell they are truly pet people and cared for our dog while we were away. They sent daily pics and took him on walks. Hiro can be quirky at times, but they did an amazing job playing and spending time with him. We would love to use them again in the future!”
“Hannah is amazing! We've left our girl with her twice now, and she took really good care of her and adapted to her needs for 100%! Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back ❤️”
“My dog had a great long 8 night stay with Leah while my wife and I were on vacation. Leah gave regular updates with photos, and was very easy to communicate with the entire time + before. She took him on walks and she has a fenced yard to play in. I definetly recommend Leah and would trust her to care for my dog again.”
“Leaving my dog for more than three days always gives me so much anxiety but after meeting Chelsey and Byron, i knew that Woody would be in great hands. they were responsive throughout the stay, sent updates of what they were up to with woody, and pick up and drop off were seamless. highly would recommend! woody had a great time with them and their kids.”
“Jennifer not only took my dog into her loving home and treated him as one of her own she took out the stress of leaving him by providing daily updates. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing someone to watch their pet and I'll definitely be using her services again next time. Thank you Jennifer!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hilltop
Susan was absolutely amazing, we cannot recommend enough. Excellent communication throughout the stay with updates and pictures. Susan has an obvious care and warmth for animals which gave us peace of mind and reassurance. We found the perfect place for our little guy to be when we are away. Thank you 😊

We had a great experience with Jailene! Our dog was very comfortable and clearly well cared for during his stay. She sent us regular photo and text updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away, and was always available if we wanted to check in. She was also very accommodating when our flight was unexpectedly delayed and we needed to extend his stay. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was, and would definitely book with her again!
Davis did a fantastic job with Lou! They went on daily walks, played frisbee and fetch, and let her snuggle on the furniture making sure she felt right at home. He also helped with some last minute medication. Our dog is a people pup so it was great for her to have so much solo human attention. Highly recommend Davis and Emma!

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 Hilltop home-away-from-home, 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 Hilltop.
<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 Hilltop 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 , 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 .
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.
