“Katrina and Drew were amazing with our Poppy. It's the first time we have picked her up and she was hesitant to jump in the car to go home. We know she was well-loved and in good hands with them :)”
“Aish and her family were so sweet and attentive to our fur baby. I was a little bit concerned (but expecting) that our pup will probably not eat at first due to new surroundings. But I was wrong. He felt welcome and secure and had a lot of fun playing with Scooby that he felt at ease immediately and was eating regularly. Aish sent me lots of pictures of him. :) I would definitely recommend Aish!”
“Marill was wonderful! She took our Draco at the last minute. He felt so at home with her and in her care. We were abled to go on vacation with no worries. She sent pictures/videos and was very open about what was happening at all times. She really took an interest in what was comfortable for Draco and how she could make his stay as pleasant as possible! We even ended up extended our stay a few hours and she was very flexible. This was our first time using Rover and it was a wonderful experience! We will absolutely use Marill again in the future!!”
“Cheyann and Nicole are kind and welcoming, and have taken extra measures to ensure the safety and comfort of their furry guests. My senior pup had an amazing time with them and was clearly doted on during his stay. He came home happy and exhausted. Thank you!”
“Bob did a great job taking care of our miniature golden doodle. He walked him daily, gave him lots of outside time, naps and managed his picky eating. Bob is attentive to details and took notes at meet & greet and at drop off. Thanks for the great care Bob!”
“Robin is amazing!! She took such great care of my senior dog. She went above and beyond to make sure she was eating well and to make sure she got her meds. I was never worried for a second about our dog. I would use Robin over and over again to watch our dog!”
“I’m so sorry this is late. You are always so good with the pups and you give me comfort knowing they are so well loved at your house! Thank you for always loving them when we travel!”
“Absolutely could not be happier or more grateful for Margarita and her family. The whole process was super easy and after the meet and greet I left feeling 100% confident that bubba would be in great hands. Then traveling back home from Sioux Falls, we get hammered by blizzard conditions. The last 20 miles before finally giving up, I could barely see the lines on the road, let alone any cars in front of me. So we pulled off and checked in to a hotel. Thankfully Margarita was SUPER understanding and reassuring. I was in a bit of a panic worrying about this and that, and the fact that Loki didn't have to be one of those worries was a huge relief. When we finally made it back the next day I could tell he wasn't super thrilled about leaving, which is always what you want to see. (And with that massive yard, I can't blame him!) Will definitely be "boarding" with her and her family again in the future! Super communicative with updates and photos to put our minds at ease.”
“Palmer was well loved by Nessa & Jose and really enjoyed all the walks, playmates, and attention. He came home exhausted and sad to leave. They sent a ton of pictures and even video each day of his stay. Thanks so much for taking great care of Palmer.”
“Another successful vacation for my family in the books! I couldn't have done it without Amy and Chris watching our fur baby Chewy. Amy is amazing! I love the updates she gives us and I know he's getting the same care as if he were at home. Our dogs get along great and I love that, makes for easy dog sitting. Thanks again Amy!”
“Julie and Ben took care of our Golden for four days. We had to change our plans at the last minute and they took our dog and helped us tremendously with giving her medication. They were so flexible, kind and caring and took such good care of our pup. They sent us daily updates and photos which was greatly appreciated. Our dog returned home happy. We would definitely reach out to them again! Thank you so much Julie & Ben!”
“Can't say enough great things about Denise & Michael. My pup has visited twice so far, and they treat him as if he was their very own! I'm allowed total peace of mind when I travel. My ONLY complaint is that they don't live closer. 😊”
“This was our first experience with Rover and we couldn't have picked a better family for our dog! Marine and her family were attentive and communicative. They have a relaxed energy which was perfect for our little Daisy, who is a more reserved dog. A big plus was that they did not have any pets of their own, which added to the calmness of the home. Photos were regular and Daisy seemed very comfortable with them. We highly recommend Marine!! Many thanks!!”
“Elizabeth and her family were great. She made sure to help Diesel get around the house since he is a senior dog and I received plenty of pictures so I could make sure he was settling in ok.”
“John and Gretchen gave Jordy great care! We were regularly updated with pictures of how her day was going. Jordy came home healthy and tired, always a good sign. We will definitely use John and Gretchen again.”
“Liss was amazing when it came to taking care of our 11 week old puppy. We were nervous to leave him behind as we went on our week long trip however Liss showed confidence in taking care of biscuit and we absolutely loved the friendly updates with photos of our pup. Thank you Liss!”
“The fact that my extremely anxious dog did not immediately run to the door when I arrived for pick up tells me everything I need to know about how well she was cared for. She found herself a second family in the span of 3 days!!!”
“We felt very at ease with Alka and Rajeev taking care of our dog for several days. We appreciated the daily check-ins and videos, which helped us know Tria was in good hands.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Little Chicago 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 Little Chicago.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Little Chicago 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.
