“Dave is the best! Our Sam just loved him. He was extremely well cared for and honestly the peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands just can’t be beat. It’s hard to leave your dog when you need to be out of town and I can assure anyone reading this review that your dog will be very well loved if Dave is taking care of them.”
“Jailene was fantastic with my dog Riley. She sent regular update, photos, and videos. He stayed over the 4th of July holiday, and Jailene had great questions beforehand to make sure he was comfortable.”
“Dustin was a great sitter. His response to my initial post was fast, the booking process was simple, he thoroughly described what I should expect during my dog’s stay and he was an excellent care giver. He sent videos of Milo and he responded to all of my questions. I will definitely book with Dustin again. I highly recommend him as a sitter who will treat your pup like family.”
“Robert was the perfect host for Bambi she was so well taken care of and I had so much peace of mind with him. Thank you so much for taking care of my girl!”
“He took such great care of Mams! Very flexible and communication was great. He made sure to send daily updates and lots of pictures. Mams struggled with anxiety but he took such good care of her and helped me feel reassured. Highly recommend!”
“Sedona had a wonderful stay! Ms. Terrie was warm and welcoming and it was clear that Sedona bonded quickly with her. Sedona had fun playing with Terrie's two college-age kids who were home for winter break and going for walks on the nearby parkway. We appreciated all the updates and photographs while we were gone. Sedona received great care and attention and cannot wait to go back! We will absolutely use Ms. Terrie again!”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Patti and Patrick. He was dealing with some health issues prior to his stay with them, and they were supportive with giving him his medication. Patti sent us fun text messages and photos everyday of our happy boy. He was well taken care of and loved in their care.”
“Maria was great with Tootsie. She sent several pictures, videos and updates during Tootsie's stay with her. I would definitely recommend Maria and book her again.”
“Sarah was wonderful for my dogs while I was in the hospital. She was willing to give medicine twice a day to my oldest dog, Jazzy. My puppy, Tillie Mae, is very active & they handled her "zoomies" well It was a long lonesome time for me but she sent pictures & texted to keep me up on how things were going. I appreciated that her family joined in caring for & playing with them. Now my fur babies are back home and life is good.”
“Wesley was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Frankie. From the moment I dropped him off, it was evident that Frankie was treated like family and genuinely well cared for. Wesley and his parents have a beautiful home with a secure, fenced-in yard, which made us feel incredibly comfortable. We were able to travel out of the country with complete peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and truly prioritized. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Wesley to anyone looking for exceptional care. I received photos and updates. We look forward to planning our next adventure and rebooking with Wesley!”
“It's been a while since our dogs saw Kristie and Bryan, but they remembered them and were excited to arrive-- and had the best weekend! They're attentive and take them on long walks and play with them till they're tired. Both came home happy and content- which makes us so happy. The photos and updates we got were all great. Can't wait for their next stay!”
“Trish & Robert were wonderful hosts for Ruby. She had a great time running around their backyard when we met and kept me in the loop with regular updates and photos. Would definitely be looking to see if they are available the next time I have to travel without Ruby.”
“This was our first time having our puppy away overnight and Maya did a wonderful job. She made us comfortable with the environment she provides and how she cares for the fur babies. We also really appreciate the updates and photos/videos! Would bring our pup Dini to Maya again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hilltop
We were worried about our dog Sugar when planning a 2 weeks trip, as he lives with us most of the time. We found Colleen and Joe with many good reviews from other dog owners and they have a small dog Nico too. They took good care of Sugar and sent updates every day during our trip. We are so thankful to Colleen and Joe for making Sugar comfortable and our trip enjoyable! We’ll definitely love to use them again in the future.
Susie and her husband were wonderful hosts for our dog. They are friendly, communicated timely, and are confident dog sitters. Ou dog came home calm and happy. He got on well with their dog, and seemed right at home. We received several photo updates over the course of Spencer’s stay. He got plenty of exercise. During his stay, he needed some pills administered, and that was no issue.
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.
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!

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.
94% of sitters in Hilltop 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 Hilltop 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 Hilltop.
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 Hilltop. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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 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 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.
