“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”

“Theresa was an excellent caretaker of our senior Yorkshire terrier. She took the time to understand the uniqueness of our aging dog and was very empathetic. Because she listened so well to our concerns, I felt great leaving him for the weekend and he had a great time. She’s responsive and transparent in communication. Her family is the sweetest, and I promise your pup will get lots of snuggles in their stay with Theresa with all the attention!”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand that each dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace and extra attention. I pay close attention to details like feeding routines, medication schedules, exercise needs, and behavioral cues so your pet stays on their normal routine. What truly sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I keep owners updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and stress-free. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a wide-open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m also able to adapt to each pet’s specific routine—whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening feedings, or extra time for exercise and play. My goal is to keep your pet’s day as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible while you’re away. When caring for pets, my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible by keeping their routine consistent. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they are happy, relaxed, and getting the exercise and attention they need. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and activity. I make sure pets have regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and a comfortable place to rest. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is well cared for while they’re away.
“Rosie had the best time with Brooklyn and her family! We were so grateful that she was willing to watch Rosie for over 2 weeks while we were on vacation. She sent us lots of photo and video updates which was so wonderful. Would definitely recommend to anyone!”

“Carrie was very easy to work with. She was open to understanding our dog with some complex issues and went above and beyond to meet his needs. Appreciated her texts and photos. We knew he was in good hands.”
“Ashley is a responsible and smart pet sitter. Teo learned to behave and socialize with dogs. She sent pictures almost every day during the 2 weeks Teo stayed. Teo was happy with her and her dogs. I recommend Ashley to my family and friends for pet sitting.”

“Steven did an excellent job with my dogs. They were happy and healthy when I picked them up. He was really communicative and I appreciated the updates while I was away.”

“This is our first time using Amanda and Adam for our dog Orbit. Orbit has epilepsy and has seizures fairly frequent so it was important for us to find a sitter who has experience with a seizure dog and is comfortable handling the situation. Unfortunately Orbit did have a seizure during her stay with Amanda and Adam, however she was in great hands and the two handled the situation with excellent care. We received many updates/photos throughout Orbits stay which was very much appreciated. We would use Amanda and Adam again to watch Orbit in a heartbeat, thank you so much for taking good care of her!!”

“Jessica was the best! After a bit of a fiasco with another sitter, Jessica came through last minute and was a great back up. I will absolutely book her again. Our dog came home absolutely exhausted, but so happy, and we can't thank her enough for helping us out this weekend!”

“Ghillie had a great stay with Emilie and we have already re-booked. They are very responsive and flexible. They were great about accommodating his special diet and daily medication. Ghillie is a very social adolescent, so I'm glad he's in a setting with responsible pet-loving people, another friendly dog and some tolerant cats.”

“Michelle was amazing! We were apprehensive about leaving our puppy for the first time, but Michelle reassured us that he would do great! She kept us updated with pictures and videos everyday. Our puppy especially enjoyed romping around on her land. Now we don’t have to worry about leaving our puppy; we know he will be well taken care of. I would highly recommend Michelle!”

“Thanks Brooke! I was so glad you were able to take him on such short notice. He obviously had a great time with you and the pack. I think you were a hit with him, and I'll definitely be reaching out for the next boarding! ~bill”

“Remy and Kevin were amazing with our Ellie. It gave of piece of mind to know she was in such caring hands. They intuitively understand how to interact with our aging pup which allowed her to feel comfortable during our absence.”


“Laura was a fantastic sitter for our dog, Hans! We knew when we met her that Laura would do an excellent job taking care of him. She is a great communicator and you can tell she will really love your pup and give him lots of attention. She also had a great big backyard :) thanks, Laura!”


“Sierra, Will, and Karma were great hosts for my senior dog! They provided great care for him while we were out of town for a five-day trip. The updates and pictures were lovely. We'll absolutely book again.”

About: As a dog lover, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member!

I’m attentive, patient, and dependable, and I’ll always treat your dog like one of my own! I’m also happy to provide regular pictures and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in great hands while you’re away. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, but I have the flexibility to stop home during my lunch break for potty breaks, feeding, and some extra attention! I’m available on weekends for pet sitting, boarding, and walks, allowing me plenty of time to give your pets the love and care they deserve. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals and am happy to accommodate their individual routines and needs.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

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 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.
