“I highly recommend Nathan & Laura! They and their daughters did an excellent job with my high energy dog. Their fenced yard was great for my dog to exercise. Will rebook when they are available.”

“Kristy is such a warm, friendly, and kind dog sitter. I purposely re-booked with her because of a previous great experience. Kristy sent me photos of my pups and kept me updated while I was away - which gave me such peace of mind. Rest assured that your pups are in great hands with Kristy!”

“Emily saved our family vacation, and helped our sweet girl with separation anxiety come out of her shell! If catastrophizing was an Olympic sport, I’d be the undefeated Gold medalist. I automatically assume something will go wrong, so after plans for our dog’s care fell through right before our vacation, I was irritated with my husband for even suggesting Rover. I was certain, it wasn’t was possible to find someone Piper could meet, develop a relationship, and truly enjoy staying with—for 5 whole days, and on that short of notice. She’s a great dog, but she needs to know where my husband is at all times. That’s why I couldn’t believe he thought she’d survive a week away from him! Let alone after being plucked out of her home and left with complete strangers! I knew I’d have to stay home, and there was nothing Rover could do about it. I thought we were wasting our time, but I had been looking forward to that vacation for a year, so I wanted to be sure there was no way to make it work before accepting the loss. After coming across Emily’s profile, I I held my breath, and told my husband I was willing to schedule a meet-and-greet. Eveything about her experience, living arrangements, and family life looked perfect on paper, but the “glass is totally empty” part of me spent days insisting it was destined to fail. Imagine our surprise when the “absolutely not”, quickly shifted to talks of mutual friends, laughs, and knowing they were exactly who we were hoping to find!! We absolutely loved getting frequent photos chronicalling Piper’s adventures! Seeing how much fun she was having helped ease our minds, and allowed us to enjoy our time together as a family—without having to worry if she was being treated well! One after the other, each picture reminding we had nothing to worry about! We should just enjoy ourselves, because Piper was having too much fun, participating in too many activities, and soaking in immeasurable amounts of love and attention to worry about when we’d be back to pick her up! I don’t know about you, but I think that’s all a nervous pet owner could ever ask for. Thanks again for everything! We can’t wait to book with you again soon! Pat & Laura Larson”

About: I am currently working towards a bachelor's in Animal Behavior and Welfare, as interacting with animals and learning about them is a passion of mine. I greatly enjoy learning to care for them and then doing so. The degree im working towards is focused on the care of animals while educating the public about them. I grew up with a dog and have had many small animals as pets throughout my life, rodents, fish, insects, arachnids, frogs, etc. Currently I have 3 reptiles and two cats. Willow-Wisp, and Boiled-Egg are my cats. My corn snake is Copper, Blue Tongued Skink is Little-Dude, and Tripod is my leopard gecko. Both Boiled-Egg and Tripod have medical conditions that require at home management and care which has given me some skills in caring for animals with disabilities. They are not the only animal I have history caring for with medical issues either. Many of my experience with pets has been rescue pets, and I have had plenty practice and patience regarding them and behaviors post trauma. I am more than willing to learn about your pets needs and help medical or otherwise. I am currently focusing on college and have plenty of time to help care for your animals. The only day I will be unavailable is Sunday. I have a fenced in yard and half the house closes off by doors so the cats will not interact with your animals unless you are comfortable with it. Depending on your animals preferance I can ensure that I spend time with them or give them the space to feel comfortable and settle in. Any and all expectations set regarding their care and what food, toys, or treats they are allowed will of course be followed. I may have treats of my own I could offer them but will only do so with your approval and in amounts you allow. I do haveextra food and water bowels if you would prefer to use those rather than bringing your own. In the case something awful were to happen I have experience bringing animals to emergency.

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 Kelsey 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 Kelsey.

<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 Kelsey 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.
