“Loki had the best time staying overnight at Jessica’s. There were plenty of other dogs for him to play with and we were given updates and pictures throughout his stay. I would highly recommend and definitely go back. 5 stars!”
“Julie and Jesse were awesome pet sitters! I received updates and pictures daily. Both of my dogs seemed to really enjoy their time. I will be a repeat client for sure!! Highly recommended!”
“LAN was great with my young Labradoodle. He stayed with her for two weeks while I was out of the country. She put my mind at ease by sharing pictures and videos of him playing with her dog Lucy. He seemed very comfortable and well cared for with her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Carman was a delight and we felt very comfortable leaving our two dogs with her. She sent pictures and took them outside to play and they seemed very comfortable and at ease when we picked them up. Carman stayed up late for us to pick them up at 11pm which we also greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Carman, and will definitely ask her to take care of our pups in the future.”
“Tristan watched my Charlie and Luna and they came back happy and tired. She kept me up to date and sent pictures and felt happy to know they were in good hands!”
“Rozalyn took WONDERFUL CARE of my dog, Poppet. She also sent me pictures or videos daily. I was extremely happy with her doggy care for my pup. I would definately use her again.”
“Debbie and Mike were very kind and respectful. They treated my pup as if she were family giving her lots of love and attention. They sent me pictures of how much fun and enjoyment Ruby was having with them while she stayed with his and her family. 10/10 would recommend and would let my pup stay with them again. :)”
“Exceptional! Really above and beyond in making both Bailey and her mama comfortable with a new experience. Several walks and plenty of care and focus on understanding my girl. Lots of pictures and videos. Very happy, highly recommend.”
“Thanks Nicole and Dave! You took such good care of my boy Archie! The daily updates with photos and videos were so very appreciated❤️ I especially appreciate your flexibility! Thank you!”
“Brittni, took wonderful care of my Westie, Dublin. An added bonus was Dublin got to hang with their Westie Benny, who is super cute and friendly. They have a lovely fenced in backyard, so the two dogs were able to play quite a bit. Dublin came home clean (Brittni gave her a bath!) and exhausted from all the fun she had! Thank you Brittni and family!”
“Xan took great care of my 2 1/2 -year old puppy providing lots of cuddles and playtime plus hikes in good weather. Xan paid good attention to my puppy’s eating quirks and medication needs. She communicated just as I requested and sent fun photos. I greatly appreciated Xan’s flexibility when my flight was delayed. Overall, a great experience. I highly recommend Xan.”
“Ashley is a responsible and smart pet sitter. Teo learned to behave and socialize with dogs. She sent pictures almost every day during the 2 weeks Teo stayed. Teo was happy with her and her dogs. I recommend Ashley to my family and friends for pet sitting.”
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand that each dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace and extra attention. I pay close attention to details like feeding routines, medication schedules, exercise needs, and behavioral cues so your pet stays on their normal routine. What truly sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I keep owners updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and stress-free. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a wide-open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m also able to adapt to each pet’s specific routine—whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening feedings, or extra time for exercise and play. My goal is to keep your pet’s day as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible while you’re away. When caring for pets, my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible by keeping their routine consistent. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they are happy, relaxed, and getting the exercise and attention they need. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and activity. I make sure pets have regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and a comfortable place to rest. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is well cared for while they’re away.
“Echo enjoyed his stay with Katie! I could tell from the photos she sent me that he was happy and comfortable staying with her. Katie really made our dog feel right at home! We look forward to booking with her again!”
“Steven did an excellent job with my dogs. They were happy and healthy when I picked them up. He was really communicative and I appreciated the updates while I was away.”
“Rosangela is an amazing dog sitter. Excellent communication with fun daily updates. It was clear that my baby was in the best care with so much loving attention. I highly recommend her as she will be our go to every time.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Maplewood
Janine was very friendly and approachable. She did an outstanding job taking care of Kimchi for the day. She went above and beyond by walking our Husky twice during the time of her keep of Kimchi. We would definitely utilize her service again. She has a wonderful attitude and showed genuine concern for our dog.
Danielle and Chad spent a great deal of time giving each of our dogs the attention they most want. Mosley got lots of fetching play time and Ripley had share the couch with Chad, enjoying getting pet. Both Danielle and Chad handled their meals and medication as requested. Daily pictures showed our dogs having fun and playing nicely with Danielle's dogs.
Gem and her family took my dogs last minute and were amazing! It’s been a long time since we’ve left our dogs with a sitter. Gem kept me up to date with photos and videos while we were away leaving me knowing they were being well cared for! I will definitely be going back to Gem in the future and highly recommend her to any dog parent.
Wow! Stan is such a kind, caring and connected dog person. He is very detail oriented, making sure that he knows all he needs to know about our pup before her stay with him. During the stay, he communicates clearly about how things are going, with photos and videos of our pup having fun with his pup and of her resting at night. Stan is quite safety-conscious, which makes it easier for us to leave our dog with him. His fenced-in back yard is perfect for our dog, who loves to run and play, explore the yard and forest, and relax outside.
Chelsea and her household took great care of my pup and cat. They genuinely care for your pets as if they were theirs. They incorporate my pup into their pack and give him all the attention he wants. I’m very comfortable leaving them there and know they’ll be loved.
We couldn’t ask for a better sitter for Cooper! He stayed with Rozalyn & her family for two weeks while we were out of the country, and knowing he was in such loving hands made being so far from home so much easier! Cooper absolutely loves her and her girls, and her dog is his bestie! It really feels like he has a second family there. She’s caring, responsive, and sends plenty of updates, which we always look forward to. You can tell she truly cares about Cooper and wants him to feel comfortable, happy, and loved. Being away for two weeks is a long time, but I never worry when he’s with her. Having someone we trust this much is priceless. We’re so grateful to have found her and can’t recommend her enough!
I received detailed communications at least twice daily from Roxanne that let me know how and what my dog was doing while in her care. I also received many wonderful photos that I'll want to keep forever. Her home and yard are very secure, which put my mind at ease, given that my dog is a runner if she gets loose. Most importantly, I could tell that Roxanne loves caring for dogs and that she and her husband gave mine lots of love and attention.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Maplewood 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 Maplewood 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 Maplewood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Maplewood. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Maplewood 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
