“I am so thankful I found MiMi and Nicole! We were so worried about leaving our Petey for 9 days. These two made our vacation so much better because of the care they provided. When Petey would not eat they took extra steps to make him feel comfortable. It's hard to leave your pet with strangers but I never had any qualms about Nicole and Mimi! They made our Petey part of their family for 9 days. I was afraid Petey wouldn't want to come home! Lol They sent daily updates to us because they knew we missed our boy. We 100% will be using them again!”
“This was the first time I left my dogs with a dog sitter and it was a great experience. Our one is a rescue, so I was worried she would be scared. We could not stand the idea of boarding her with a crate so we searched for a home setting. Danika and her husband were really easy to work with and my dogs are still worn out 24 hours after being home. The pictures they sent showed them looking so happy playing in the yard.”
“Meganne was kindly able to book my puppy last minute. She sent photos and videos of him with her family throughout the time frame. If time and proximity allows it, I will book with her again!”
“Beth and her family took such good care of my Calliope while I was vacationing in Northern Minnesota. Beth sent frequent updates and pictures which I really appreciated. I will not hesitate to request Beth in the future when Calliope needs care!”
“Heidi (and Easton) took such good care of Cain. Couldn’t be more happy with the updates and how it went. 24 hours later Cain is still tired, so I know he got a lot of exercise and attention.”
“We drove up to Minnesota from South Carolina to visit family. It iwas hard to leave them but it gave us the opportunity to give 100% of our time to spoil our grandkids. Our fur babies were well taken care of. They were very happy with Lacey & Troy. We will definitely use them again when we visit family in Minnesota. Thank you so much!”
“Rachel is such a sweetheart & very sincere gal! Blue had a lovely time & connected great with Rachel & had a blast with her roommates retrievers. Will definitely utilize Rachel’s services again. Thank you Rachel!”
“Elliah did an awesome job taking care of our Skye. We got lots of updates with photos and videos which we so much appreciated. Thank you so much for the care you gave Skye, we definitely will use Elliah again. Thanks for the treat bag, Skye loved the cookies!!”
“I will definitely bring Harley to Alyssa again! In the little bit of interaction I've had with her this past week i can tell she loves kids and pets! Harley was well cared for by the whole family! She sent me pictures and kept me updated.”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs and cats since I was a child, and have been dog/cat/housesitting since 2020. I’m a small business owner (massage therapist and virtual assistant) and former librarian. I’m currently self-employed and have some room in my schedule for additional business so I have several days a week available to dedicate to pet care. We also just recently lost our 17 year old chocolate lab/australian shepherd mix so I will be happy to spend time with your pup. I have yet to meet an animal who doesn’t like me, so we will be bffs in no time! I will keep you as in the loop on how things are going as you would like to be, with pictures and updates. Our cat Finn is very curious about and fond of dogs, so as long as they are ok with him, they should be good buddies.
“Jada was so great with both of the dogs! She took them on several walks, sent fun pics and snuggled them. We will definitely use her again when we come to hang with our daughter in Mankato!”

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 Madelia 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 Madelia.
<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 Madelia 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.
