She sent lots of cute photos and updates! I would recommend Katie to anyone!!! Thank you Katie!”

“Wow!! We had a boarding set up with another Rover family but unfortunately - it was not going to be a good fit. I quickly messaged Princesa - as this was the day we were to leave for the long memorial weekend - and she responded almost instantly! They were Incredibly flexible offering to meet for public pick up on our way out of town or bring her to their home based on our needs. Our pup had an AMAZING time and we were updated with pictures and texts daily. We were able to enjoy our holiday weekend with our minds at ease knowing our pup was well taken care of!!!! Thank you so much!!!! This was our first time using Rover and will definitely be boarding with them in the future!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”

“My 4 1/2 year old pup had her first experience overnight other than with me. Right at the meet and greet I knew they were the perfect fit! They sent me pictures and videos while they had her but I was off the grid so didn’t get them right away. I didn’t worry about anything as I felt completely comfortable with them taking care of my girl. . I will have them watch my nakia many times to come. You could not ask for a more loving home to watch your puppy! Thanks Nicole and David for being so awesome!!”

“Stan was fantastic with my dog! My dog spent two days and two nights in his care recently on very short notice. Stan asked many thoughtful questions about my dog’s needs and then shared his care style with me. Stan has two lovely dogs who were amazing companions and a great yard for them to play in. He also kept me updated throughout the duration of the stay with photos and videos every 24 hours. I felt very included and informed. I will definitely be booking with Stan again in the future! Thank you, Stan!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Elmo
This was our first time boarding our dog, Teddy with her, and we had a wonderful experience! She took great care of him and sent us pictures and updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also very flexible and accommodating with our drop-off and pick-up times. We really appreciated her kindness, communication, and the care she gave our dog. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
