About: I have experience working with various dog (and cat) breeds since my childhood through adulthood. I have experience pet sitting, fostering and raising/training dogs. I am experienced giving medications and taking care of fur babies with special needs or requests. I love taking bigger, more energetic dogs for runs, playing fetch, and getting their energy out through active play times. I also love smaller, older or less active dogs, I have an 12 year old puggle, Fritzie, who I have had since he was a puppy, playing tug, going for walks and short play times is all in our daily routine. I would be happy to spend time with your furry companion giving them lots of love, attention and meetings all of their needs! I am currently back to work. I work 8am-4pm Monday-Friday, therefore, your pup would need to be comfortable relaxing at home during the day on the week days and have open availability on the weekends for all the play, adventures and snuggles. I am available to stay at your place to maintain your pups regular routine as much as possible. Due to recently relocating I am unable to board pets at my current home, but at looking forward to being able to do so very soon! I am available to come to your home for in home boarding, doggie daycare or daily exercise. I am an outdoor enthusiast who loves having a four legged running partner, exploring near by dog parks or strolling around the neighborhood on a daily walk and playtime. I love sharing the daily moments and bonding with your pet as well as sharing pictures of them with you while you are away.

About: Lifelong animal lover and pet owner. Now that I’m retired, it’s time to turn my passion into a service for other pet owners. Your dog deserves a wonderful boarding experience. Low stress, quiet home, play/exercise, and lots of affection. Nothing but the best for Fluffy! Recently retired and ready to provide overnight boarding for small to medium-sized dogs. I have the time and desire to provide excellent care for your dog. Fluffy will receive lots of attention and affection. Your dog will be in a safe and quiet home environment. Access to small grass yard (no pesticides) under my supervision. Special care requests, feeding schedules, etc. can be accommodated. I have been caring for animals (pets) my entire life. Their wellbeing has always been a priority for me.
“Sunshine took wonderful care of our puppy! She was great at communicating and thoughtful. We loved her beautiful home. Archie came home very happy and tired out because he had a great day. We will definitely book with Sunshine again.”
About: I have had my own dogs (and cats, chickens, bunnies, etc!) my whole life. I have also been relied on by friends, family, and neighbors for years to care for their fur babies while traveling. My husband and I also foster dogs through various local rescues! I work from home and my partner has a flexible schedule. Usually, we are both home and able to provide 24/7 care for the animals we board! I have a very large fenced yard with two dog pools for hot summer days. Our chickens stay in a separate enclosed area. My home offers multiple rooms and, due to the fact that we often foster, we have several kennels and other “safe space” areas if your fur baby feels safer hanging out or sleeping separately from the rest of the pack. Although, we are a household that encourages pets to curl up on the furniture! We have 3 dogs- a collie/Aussie mix, yellow lab, and husky. All are friendly, up to date on vaccines, and love other dogs! Lastly, we are a cat friendly home but do have separate spaces available if separation from them is best.
“River is outstanding working with our dog. She's flexible, easy to book, easy to work with. Our pooch always comes home happy and worn out from a great play day. She's saved my bacon a couple times helping us out with care on short notice. She's a gem!”

Takenya gave the very best care to our Dear Floyd in her lovely home. There was a Thunder storm when I dropped him off, so he was a bit frightened. She helped comfort him, helping him find a safe den in her home. He was calm and his happy self when I picked him up. We will absolutely use Takenya again. She truly loves dogs and showed great care for our Floyd.
Claire was fantastic with Finn! He had such a wonderful time spending the day with her and Birdie. Claire was very communicative, responded quickly to messages, and kept us updated with adorable photos throughout the day, which we really appreciated. He's already looking forward to his next visit with Claire and Birdie. We highly recommend her!
Rachel was very welcoming to my high energy dog. While in the end it wasn't a good fit, I appreciate that Rachel was willing to give it a try. I also appreciate how responsive she was during the initial reservation set up and meet and greet. She is clearly a caring animal lover and I would recommend her!
I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect sitter for my energetic and lovable 5.5 year old sheepadoodle (Mabel) Jackie has a doodle (Vinny) and the two doodles got along great. Jackie greeted Mabel and I with kindness and reassured me that Mabel is in good hands. She sent photos along with an update about how things were going. I will definitely be contacting Jackie again for taking care of Mabel; she’s absolutely fabulous!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Lilydale commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,743 sitters in Lilydale, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
