“Nothing but positive things to say. My dog Letty loved her vacation at Marie and Mark's. Having a very anxious dog, I wasn't sure how'd she'd do, but she quickly warmed up to their family and welcoming home. No question they gave Letty all the love and attention she needed. I greatly appreciated recieving the pictures and updates of how my girl was doing while on my vacation. Great communication :)”
“Anna took great care of our dog. First time using Rover and would highly recommend Anna! Cade was happy and hungry (which is a good sign!) when he came home. Anna is a great communicator and sends picture updates twice a day. Thank you Anna! We will definitely recommend and use your services again!”
“My dog, CiCi lets me know how her stay has gone. Although excited to see me when I picked her up, she clearly had a great stay and was affectionate with the 3 elementary aged daughters. The girls expressed their fondness of her, another sign of a very positive stay. I will use Cate and Tim again. Thank you for taking such good care of my little pride and joy.”
“Jacky and her family were great! They were able to accommodate a last minute request and made us feel very comfortable. This was our first experience using Rover and we are so happy we gave it a try. Jacky was very sweet, responsive, and sent great pictures and videos. Our pup had a great time and seemed so comfortable and happy. We will definitely use Jacky for future pet care needs!”
About: Hi, I’m Autumn! While I’m new to Rover, I am not new to dogs! Animals have been a huge part of my entire life! At 16, I started working as a kennel assistant at a veterinary clinic. I went on to receive my degree in veterinary technology and dedicated almost 10 years as a tech. Now, I’d love to continue caring for pets beyond the clinic! My husband and I own a 1/2 acre of acre of land in Forest Lake. We have one dog, a senior Shih Tzu named Nala! For the safety of all dogs, I do require they are comfortable being kenneled during times I am away or sleeping. Otherwise, they are free to follow me around the house or even nap on the couch! Caring for animals is my top priority, so I have the flexibility to be home with all pets for the majority of the day, every day! In our home, pets are family! We offer a large lawn to allow your pets plenty of room to exercise. Plenty of snuggles and playtime will be offered along with daily walks as requested/weather permitting. Crating is utilized for safety when pets are not directly supervised (home alone or bedtime). Any other needs? No problem! I know each and every pet has their own unique preferences and needs.
“Kayti was awesome with our dog and highly recommended!!!We will def. be using her again for future trips and referring her to our friends. She treated our dog like her own. We got lots of pictures and videos from her throughout our vacation. Thank again.”
“Brandi and her family were fantastic ! London was very comfortable with them and they were very understanding with a mix-up with pick up time. We will definitely use them again!!!”
About: My friends know me as the dog lover! What sets me apart is that I’m very attentive and genuinely care about making each pet feel comfortable and loved. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, likes, and dislikes rather than treating every visit the same. I’m also big on communication—I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. If I’m not at church or Bible study you can find me at the dog park! 🐶🦮🦴🐾 Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m active and enjoy getting outside, so I love having a dog to walk and explore with! I treat every pet and home like they’re my own. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention, and give them lots of love while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep you updated with pictures and messages throughout my visit. ❤️🐶
About: Mature adult with over 40 years of experience caring for pets. Fully fenced in yard. Flexible options available. Willing to take multiple pets. Currently no pets in home. I currently work in the office 3 days a week, and from home Mondays and Fridays. I am flexible for drop off or pickup on those days. Our yard is fully fenced in with a 5 foot chain link fence. I offer personalized care for your pets from feeding to play time. Will take walks depending on the weather. The location says Ham Lake, but I am on the border of Blaine and Ham Lake.
“We love bringing our dog to Jackie‘s! The family is amazing and I know he’s getting great care. He loves playing with the kids. She sends the best pictures of him. We can’t wait to set up the next visit!”

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 Kost 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 Kost.
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.
You and your Kost 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.
