“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 was so kind and flexible, even when I needed to extend my booking and change my drop off time! She kept me updated with photos and made me feel so comfortable that my dog would be happy and well cared for while I was out of town!”
“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.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for all kinds of animals, and I genuinely love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved! I worked at a doggy daycare during the summer, where I cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I was trained to bathe dogs, keep them entertained with playtime and activities like the kiddie pool, and safely respond to dog conflicts when they occurred. I also made an effort to learn each dog’s name and their owner’s name so I could provide more personal, attentive care. Growing up with a dog, I also have experience with daily walks and giving pets the attention and exercise they need. I’ve cared for my sister’s cats for extended periods, and I’ve also owned hamsters, gerbils, and a snake. I currently have a guinea pig, so I’m comfortable caring for animals beyond just dogs and cats, too! What sets me apart is my hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. Whether your pet wants to play, go for a walk, enjoy a bath, or simply cuddle and relax, I’m happy to meet their individual needs and treat them with the same care and affection I would give my own pets. I am currently a full time student in college. I have a consistent class schedule so I am able to provide care throughout the morning, day, and some evenings. I am also flexible on the weekends, willing to provide care upon further connection of needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I believe every animal deserves a safe, loving environment where they can feel comfortable and get plenty of attention. At my apartment building, I have access to a fenced-in dog park where dogs can enjoy outdoor playtime and exercise in a secure area while supervised. When caring for pets in their own homes, I will my best to maintain their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by their owners. I understand that pets can feel more comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I will make sure to give them patience, attention, and time to adjust. I’m also happy to provide plenty of cuddles, enrichment, and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. My experience working at a doggy daycare taught me the importance of supervising animals, paying attention to their behavior, and recognizing that every pet has a different personality and comfort level. I take instructions seriously, respect each owner’s home, and always prioritize keeping pets safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Joie was very helpful and thoughtful throughout the process! The meet and greet beforehand helped ensure our dog was comfortable when we returned for boarding, and we appreciated the progress pictures along the way. Would happily recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. In my last year of Pharmacy School on clinical rotations. Would love to help others and help take care of your pets! During summer I’m working part time, so I’ll have lots of time to be available to pet sit! During the school year I am also available! I think it’s best for pets to stay in the environment they are familiar with. I will be respectful of the pet owners boundaries for their pets.
About: I have taken care of all types of animals since the age of 12. Most recently I have been working for almost a year at a dog boarding facility. I also own 3 dogs and 2 cats who have always been around other animals and are all up to date on vaccines I work from home and work Friday and Saturday during the mornings. If I am able to help I will definitely help in any way I can just message me I have a fenced yard and plenty of room for playing. I have baby gates around our home for the pups and keep all animals near at all time
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Madison Lake
Mary was an excellent caretaker and provided a wonderful home for our standard poodle mix during the week we were away traveling. She took the time to thoroughly understand our dog's routine, which helped provide the consistency and comfort he was accustomed to. As both a previous dog owner and Rover user herself, she understands what it's like to entrust your pet to a new home and environment. Mary was calm, attentive, and communicative throughout the stay, providing daily updates on how things were going. I never once felt concerned about the care our dog was receiving. She made every effort to maintain the same routine and home-like experience he enjoys with us, which gave us full peace of mind while we were away. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and we will absolutely book with her again in the future.

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 Madison Lake 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 Madison Lake.
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 Madison Lake 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.
