“Alexandra did a wonderful job. Very responsive to text messages and provided daily updates. Her residence has plenty of space for dogs to run and have fun. Definitely going to book with her next time we need a sitter. I felt very comfortable that our dog was in good hands.”

“Tammy and her husband were wonderful dog sitters for my two miniature schnauzers! It was a “staycation” beyond compare. They loved romping in the lovely fenced in back yard and were lucky to receive 100 percent of their love and attention, with Tammy having her “one customer at a time only” rule. I received lots of happy pictures of my dogs enjoying their time and getting lots of snuggles. Tammy was super at her communication and I so appreciate her understanding when we got stuck in traffic on the way back from our trip. The dogs were in great shape and quite content when we arrived for pickup. All of their gear and food was thoughtfully packed and ready to go. Thanks so much Tammy for your professional care and kindness ~ the girls will be excited to return!😁☺️”

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!”

No doubt he enjoyed all of the walks and snuggles Michelle provided. We’d book again with Michelle with zero hesitation!”

“Kayla was so great with our 16-yr old girl for a 5-day trip! She sent photos and updates while we were away and we felt so comfortable and didn't worry at all. She even sent our girl home with some treats, which was above and beyond. We don't know how much longer our dog will be with us, but we are so grateful to have gotten to know Kayla so we have a safe place to leave her for any future trips. You can tell she loves dogs and we 100% recommend her.”

“Jennifer was an absolute lifesaver for us and an incredible dog sitter. She sent daily photo updates and detailed messages about our baby girl Reeba, which put my mind completely at ease. It's clear she has a genuine love for animals. It was such a comfort also to know Reeba was calm, and she even got extra playtime and snuggles with the kids. Reeba seemed completely relaxed and happy in the pictures Jen sent. We can't recommend Jennifer and her family enough , we will definitely be booking with her again for our future trips!”

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: Hi there! I’m a longtime dog lover, mom of three, and an experienced pet sitter who firmly believes dogs are family. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and personalities and genuinely love getting to know each pup’s unique quirks. My home has one friendly dog of our own, so your pup will have a furry friend around. I live in a townhouse with a small yard, but that doesn’t stop us from getting outside. Daily walks, playtime, fresh air, and plenty of couch cuddles are all part of the deal. I’m also comfortable administering medication in pill form when needed. With three kids ages 6–11, patience, flexibility, and a little chaos are basically part of my daily routine. 😉 Most importantly, I’ll treat your pup like one of my own, keep you updated with photos, and make sure they get plenty of love while you’re away. Since I work from home, pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, let them out as needed, and work in walks and playtime around my schedule. I also have flexibility throughout the day for feeding, medication, potty breaks, and extra cuddles. My home is a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where your pup can feel at home while you’re away. I have one friendly dog of my own, and I’m happy to provide a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. Since I work from home, pets get plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I have a small townhouse yard for quick potty breaks, plus daily walks and playtime for exercise and enrichment. I also have a designated quiet space where a dog can take a break when needed, whether that’s behind a baby gate or in their crate—whichever you and your pup are most comfortable with. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding instructions, medication needs, and any special preferences you provide. My goal is simple: a happy, safe pup and a pet parent who feels completely comfortable while they’re away.

“We were looking for a special person to watch our two dogs while we were away. One of our dogs is insecure and the other has a lot of energy. We were so happy to find Beth! We wish we could give her 10 stars! She and her husband did such a great job with both pups. Beth was in regular communication and the pictures she sent told us everything we needed to know. The dogs looked so happy and comfortable. We are truly grateful for the wonderful care that was provided. A+++!!”

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.
