“Dayjah watched our cat Scout for us over Christmas. She sent daily pictures and he seemed very happy. She was also patient with our delayed pickup after us getting stuck waiting for our lost bag at baggage claim on Christmas night. Thank you Dayjah!”
“We needed to travel over Christmas and couldn’t bring our dog with us. Amanda and her family took such great care Rue while we were away! She sent us the most adorable photos and made us feel so comfortable knowing she was in a loving home! We will for sure reach out to Amanda in the future!”
“Thanks for taking great care of Sunny! I could tell she was loving all the play time and cuddles! I could also tell she loves staying with you guys! Makes it easy to take a trip when you know your dog is being so well cared for!”
“Our dogs were well taken care of. I loved the pictures that were sent and it showed them enjoying their stay. Tracy took good care to treat the dogs for who they were and their different life styles. Our oldest needed her spot to sleep and they accommodated her. Our youngest got his playtime. He came home exhausted and happy. Will use again!”
“Katie K provided great care to my dog . She is very professional, accommodating, efficient and responsive in getting back to texts and also sending us constant updates/pictures of the dog. Would surely use her services again.”
“Such a great stay for our dog! It was the perfect place for him to have love and attention while we were traveling. Great communication and many updates with pictures! Highly recommend!”
“If we could rate higher than 5 stars, we would. Ramanda and her family took such good care of our dogs, Punky and Elmer. When we have left our dogs with caregivers in the past at times we have worried about their care. We can honestly say we had absolutely no worries with Ramanda and her family taking care of our boys. Communication and attention to details about their feeding schedule, etc. etc. were excellent. Bottom line is that they really, really care about animals and the quality of care they provide. Ramanda sent many pictures of Punky and Elmer with all family members involved with them. Her girls provided so much attention and love that was so much appreciated. It's nice to know your pets will be well taken care of when having to leave them behind. Thank-you.”
“Coco has stayed with Kj several times, & has had a fantastic time, every time. It was so much fun to see the videos & pictures that Kj sent us. Coco spent time outside playing & exploring a beautiful park with Kj & Bailey. When we picked Coco up, she was in no hurry to go home. She & Bailey said hello, & went back to playing. Thanks again Kj! We really appreciate the care & love that you give Coco.”
“This was our first time leaving our pup with someone instead of having someone come into our home. Don was amazing with her!!! She has never really been around dogs she is unfamiliar with so this was a very new experience for her (and for us!). Don was kind and loving with our girl and very aware of how she was interacting with the other dogs and how they were interacting with her. He kept a careful eye on her and made sure she was comfortable as she adjusted to the new environment and new dogs. He also communicated with us sending us pics and videos which let us know she was doing well. I highly recommend Don - he definitely was a blessing to us and our pup. Thank you, Don!!!”
“Brenna welcomed our beagle on his first stay away from us. Her chill manner and gentle encouragement made me feel very comfortable. Would highly recommend to others and rebook again myself.”
“Kiersa is very easy to work with, responds very quickly to messages and is very pleasant and professional! Benelli seems to really like her, glad the initial visit went so well, will definitely book again!”
“Fantastic job! Pictures were so amazing! They put my Mind at ease and I knew my baby was getting the best care! Olly enjoyed his time and learned to be around other dogs! Thank you for a truly wonderful experience!”
“Darian was amazing. We used her for a 2 week vacation and we are so grateful to have found her. We will definitely use her again. She taught our puppy how to walk on a leash, which he was struggling with before we dropped him off. We received daily updates, photos and videos, and never had to worry about him being cared for, loved on and played with.”
“This was our second time using Katie’s services and we were very satisfied with her care. She was flexible with a few last minute changes we needed to make, she sent regular photos coupled with brief updates on how she and Toby were doing while we were away, and was professional in her communication. We highly recommend her and will be reaching out to her again when we need care for our little Boston Toby. Excellent service!”
“Karen is one of the kindest, most caring people I've come across in a long time. After an issue with my previous boarding reservation, I found Karen the night before my trip, and she took both of my dogs with less than 12 hours' notice. While I was away, she sent consistent updates and photos. She spoiled them with long walks, treats, toys, and plenty of cuddles. It was clear she treated them like part of her own family. When I picked them up, they almost seemed sad to leave! They came home more relaxed and happy than I've ever seen them after a trip. I'd give her 6 stars if I could. Highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a kind, loving sitter for their pets.”
“Sylvia did a wonderful job with my cat, Lucky. She has a lot of experience and was great to work with. Communication was excellent and the daily pictures were awesome! Definately will use again! Thanks!!!”
“My dogs were so excited to spend time at Ambers and very happy upon returning. They got a lot of attention, played hard and were well cared for. Amber was very prompt in communicating and flexible with drop off and pick-up times. Five stars!”

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.
95% of sitters in Lester Prairie 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 Lester Prairie home-away-from-home, 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 Lester Prairie.
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 Lester Prairie 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 , 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 .
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.
