“Our dog loved staying with Judy and we felt at ease during our 9 day vacation knowing Swish was getting the love and attention he does from us-if not more. We will definitely book with Judy again in the future, but probably never stay away from Swish that long again! We missed him.”
“Nickolai was very communicative and responsive. We received pictures of our girl and updates throughout her stay with Nickolai. The home has a very large fenced-in backyard which our dog enjoyed immensely. We mentioned that our dog is accustomed to going on walks and Nickolai was kind enough to take her out for walks around the neighborhood.”
“If you're looking for the best, no need to search any further. Leza did an amazing job watching Maxwell (our 12 year Labradoodle) for a full week. He has separation anxiety when we leave him anywhere, but didn't experience any of that with Leza. She honed in pretty quick on what his hot buttons were which were walks and of course his treats. There was some medication administration that she had no issues with doing. He was the same happy boy when we picked him up that he was when we dropped him off, which was a first for us. Thanks Leza, Maxwell had an awesome stay with you and is now his preferred stay provider.”
“We had a wonderful experience and felt so comfortable knowing our dog was well cared for. We especially appreciated the photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind and helped us feel connected while we were away. Communication was great, and it was clear she was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Brenda was highly communicative during my dog's stay and sent pics each day. I felt like my girl was ha ing so much fun and was safe! Would definitely use again!”
“Melissa and her family were great. She was easy to book with and very accommodating with all of our requests. Our dachshund, Squatch, came home happy and tired from a weekend of playing and cuddles. We will definitely be using her again.”
“We are very grateful we found Kyle for our dog, Lucy. She has some anxiety issues, and Kyle and his wife handled her just fine. They sent photos and little anecdotes about funny things Lucy did, which made us feel so much better. Lucy had a great time with the other dogs, too. We will be using Kyle again in April, and feel really good about leaving Lucy with them.”
“We boarded our 8 month old puppy, Daphne, with Regina for 10 days and were so pleased with the attention and care she paid her. This is the first time we have boarded Daphne with anyone and we were nervous to leave her for so long. It’s clear that Regina loves dogs - she spoke lovingly of her during the daily updates (with pictures!) we received while we were away, which gave us peace of mind and the ability to fully enjoy our vacation knowing that Daphne was being well cared for. We will absolutely use her services again.”
“Our dog fisher always seems so happy to be pulling up to Sophia and Travis’s home. We feel confident that he is well loved and taken care of from pictures and how happy he is when we see him next.”
“This is the second time Tanya had watched Georgie. He got so excited when we pulled up to her house. She was super flexible with watching him and always offers great care.”
“Miranda cares for the dogs that she watches like they are her own and sent updates and check ins. Would absolutely recommend to those looking for a place for their pup where someone works from home so is able to provide care and attention throughout the day.”
“Ali did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were away! She provided regular updates with pictures and made me feel confident that my pup was safe and in good hands!”
“Jana is wonderful with Murphy. Her kids adore him and it seems that he reciprocates. He always comes home happy. 😊 This was the second time Murphy had stayed with Jana and been very well looked after.”
“Our pup had a great stay with Vanessa & Andrew! We were impressed right away at the meet and greet when they asked a lot of questions and took notes. They are very kind and caring people. They also are very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs including puppies! During our pup’s stay, Vanessa & Andrew sent daily pics and updates on how she was doing which was so appreciated! We will definitely book with Vanessa & Andrew in the future!”
“We are so grateful for Brandi and her family! They took care of our dog for 15 days while we were on vacation. Brandi sent us lots of pictures and it was apparent that our dog was well-loved! They took her on walks, snuggled her, and even bought her a Christmas gift from Santa! Brandi was very quick to respond and was very accomodating. We will definitely have Brandi and her family watch our dog again!”
About: I have owned and loved dogs my entire life . This is the very first time my home has been pet free, which gives your dog a huge advantage. My older kids and I are widely experienced with dog care, routines and safety. Because we have no resident pets. Your pup gets 100% of our attention all to themselves. We know exactly how to keep your dog safe, comfortable, and loved all weekend long. I offer dedicated laser-focused care exclusively on weekends. I’m available Friday afternoons until Monday evenings, meaning your dog will rarely if ever be left alone. I am fully available for frequent supervised leash walks, outdoor sniff sessions, leashed potty breaks at any time of the day and constant indoor companionship.
“Kate was a wonderful sitter for our golden doodle! She sent us photos every day of Dakota out for walks or romping in her back yard. We knew she was in good hands, and it was clear that Kate was crazy about her. We would not hesitate to use Kate again and recommend her to others!”

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
