“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”
“Lan was an amazing dog sitter. This is my first time using Rover, and to be honest, my first time leaving my dog with anyone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a bit nervous. Lan was friendly and helpful and sent pictures of Zoey about an hour after I left which help put my mind at ease. Over all a really good experience.”
“Hey everyone, just wanted to share a bit about our dog Leo’s recent stay. We left him with these sitters, and man, they were fantastic. Right from the start, they kept us in the loop with regular updates - which was super reassuring. Leo’s days were packed. He went on walks three times a day, got to sniff around, and met some of the neighbors. Seems like everyone fell in love with him. They even told us about how excited he got every time Mike walked into a room - always ready to play. Thanksgiving with them sounded like a blast. Leo was running around in their backyard, chasing critters, and was the life of the party. They shared stories about him playing tug and fetch with the kids, and how he’d crash on the couch after a fun day. They even sent us pics of all these moments, which was awesome. We loved hearing about the little things too, like how Leo enjoyed his morning walks in the chilly November weather, or how he’d spend lazy afternoons napping with Mike. It wasn’t just about keeping Leo safe; they really made him part of their family. On the last day, they went out for a special walk before we picked him up. They sent about 20 pictures and a couple of videos during his stay, which were super fun to watch. To sum it up, these sitters are the real deal. They took care of Leo like he was their own, gave him an amazing time, and kept us connected with all those updates and photos. We’d absolutely recommend them to anyone, and Leo’s definitely staying with them again.”
“Martha and Eric were great! They were very communicative, sent updates/pictures, asked the right questions, and were very happy to take care of my dog. Would reccomend!”
“Daisy had a great stay with Erin! Erin sent lots of photos and Daisy looked so happy and comfortable in all of them. Thanks for taking such great care of her!”
“Tobi had a great time with Brooklyn and her family. He loved their little girl and got along great with their gentle Bernese Mountain Dog. I received updates once or twice a day with cute photos. Brooklyn was accommodating of my request to change the pickup time. We look forward to having Tobi stay with Brooklyn again.”
“Clyde loved staying with Deneen. He ate well (which he doesn't usually do at someone else's house), got lots of attention and exercise, and seemed very happy! Thanks, Deneen!”
“My dog was very comfortable and happy at Ruby’s. The family is very accommodating and really loves dogs. They took great care of him. It is also nice they have a fenced backyard. I also appreciate the time they took to meet and greet my dog and hear all the details about his care.”
“Brenda and her family were great hosts! Really nice to work with with two super sweet and well-behaved dogs of their own. My dog has become little shy recently around other dogs but I felt like she was in great hands while I was gone.”
“I cannot recommend Dave enough! He took such good care of my pup Taco. He sent pics every day and included some details about Taco's stay. I really appreciated Dave's flexibility when my flight home was delayed by six hours--not arriving until 2:30 AM. He was able to keep Taco a bit longer--life saver! We haven't been home long, but I'm pretty sure Taco misses Dave. I feel like Taco made a new friend and that means everything to me. Thank you Dave!”
“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!!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I had a great experience with Tom! He answered all of my questions and throughly explained how Rover works. I felt completely comfortable leaving Lily and Luna with him. They seemed to really enjoy their visit with Tom, and I would definitely have him watch them again!!!!!”
“Our dog, Hems, had such a great time at Doc & Heather's house! We felt so relaxed on our trip knowing Hems was having fun and behaving - thank you for all the great updates and pictures. She got a lot of playtime and attention! Will definitely be booking again for our next trip. Thank you again for a great experience!”
“Joayne and her children are the perfect home-away-from-home for my pug. They take such good care of him and give him lots of love. He loves them back! I’m so grateful they are providing this service.”
“Anika was outstanding and exactly the reason why we use Rover. She let us come for a meet and greet before our trip, and provided daily updates on how our dog was adjusting. It was clear that he was enjoying himself and making himself at home, which gave us the peace of mind to really relax and have a great vacation. Anika was the perfect hostess and we would go back to her without hesitation. Thank you so much for taking great care of Sampson!”
“Jailene was fantastic with my dog Riley. She sent regular update, photos, and videos. He stayed over the 4th of July holiday, and Jailene had great questions beforehand to make sure he was comfortable.”
“This was my dog Odin’s first time staying at a sitter’s for longer than a day or two. I was a little nervous leaving him but I shouldn’t have been. Barbara was so good at keeping me updated with his stay and sent lots of pics while we were away. Odin had a great time playing with her dog as well! We will definitely come back next time we need a sitter.”
“Susie was great - really responsive and a batch of pictures every day showing our pup on walks, getting cuddles and playing. Gave us great peace of mind!”

Theresa is very responsive, kind, and trustworthy. She watched my two dogs for multiple days and they absolutely loved her! I can’t recommend her enough, she walked them daily, made sure that they were comfortable and treated them as her own ❤️ if you are lucky enough to book with Theresa you will not be disappointed!
Susie and her husband were wonderful hosts for our dog. They are friendly, communicated timely, and are confident dog sitters. Ou dog came home calm and happy. He got on well with their dog, and seemed right at home. We received several photo updates over the course of Spencer’s stay. He got plenty of exercise. During his stay, he needed some pills administered, and that was no issue.
We are very protective of our two dogs, and leaving them without a family member was hard to do. Fernanda kept us well informed, daily. She followed instructions and adapted to their needs. When we picked the dogs up, they were happy to see us and be home, but seemed to miss the connection they formed with Fernanda and her daughter, and their dog.
Andrew was amazing and professional with his communication, updates and care for our Yorkie last minute, who is highly anxious and had been displaying some defensive/aggressive behaviors. He not only cared for him well, I felt confident and reassured each interaction with Andrew, even through the multitude of challenges he faced with our little guy. I felt extreme gratitude to have Andrew watch our dog. he came home happy & calm.
Lorraine is so, so sweet and clearly adores every animal she meets. Our mastiff/newfie mix, Moose, had a wonderful stay with her. She gave him tons of love and kept him active! It meant a lot to us that she was able to understand and keep up with his medications and supplements as well. She kept us very well updated on his days. We will absolutely trust Lorraine with Moose again!
I had such a great experience with Lisa! She was kind, communicative, and took excellent care of Nala. She kept me updated and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Nala was in good hands. Everything went smoothly, and Nala came home happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book with Lisa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Lauderdale can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Lauderdale 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 Lauderdale.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lauderdale. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Lauderdale 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
