About: My husband and I have both grown up with pets and have continued caring for animals throughout our adult lives. We have extensive hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, and we currently care for a variety of animals in our home, including fish, a bearded dragon, a leopard gecko, a hamster, and hermit crabs. This has given us a strong understanding of different care needs, routines, and behaviors across species. We’re attentive, patient, and comfortable following specific instructions — whether that’s maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, or helping pets feel calm and safe in a new environment. We truly treat every pet as if they were our own. Because we work from home, pet care naturally fits into our daily routine. We’re around throughout the day to provide attention, playtime, feeding, and companionship, not just quick check-ins. Our flexible schedule allows us to adapt to each pet’s needs, whether that means extra cuddles, medication reminders, or keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. We care for pets as if they are part of our own family. In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play safely. We live on 10 acres, which allows for supervised outdoor time, walks, and fresh air, and we also have a large outdoor kennel available when appropriate for a pet’s comfort and safety. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we focus on consistency, attentiveness, and respect for each pet’s routine. We follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any special requests closely. We make it a priority to be responsive, communicative, and attentive so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re away.
“Cate and Tim and Ainsley were great to Murphy and their place was a perfect playground. Murphy came home happy and tired. It was our first Rover and she had no stress. Highly recommend them!”
“Shelly was awesome. She was flexible when I had to change my dates. There was plenty of open space and other animals for Bear to play with. Shelly also was helping with our potty training since Bear is only three months old. I will use her again.”
“Orlando and Nicki were very responsive and accommodating. They were welcoming and hospitable. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with them and they took very good care of our pet.”
“Brianna has been such a huge blessing for our family and for our pup, Vince. He absolutely loves going to her house – her kids are so sweet with him and he’s become part of the little pack with her dogs. You can tell she really understands dogs and manages the energy in her home so everyone feels safe and included. I always feel confident dropping him off because I know he’s supervised, loved on, and genuinely having fun. We’re really thankful to have found someone we can trust with our boy during long work days and trips. Highly recommend Brianna if you want your dog to have a second home.”
About: Dogs have been an important part of my life for many years. I currently own an 8-year-old Siberian Husky named Storm, so I have extensive experience caring for large, energetic dogs and understanding their exercise needs. We have a large, fully fenced private backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. My family provides a loving, structured home environment, and dogs receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day. We also have two young children, so we only accept dogs that are friendly, gentle, and comfortable around kids. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and at home while their owners are away. Pet care is already a consistent part of my daily routine. I am a stay-at-home mom to two children, so I am home throughout the day and able to provide attention, care, and supervision for pets. Each day, we go on at least one longer walk with our dog, in addition to shorter potty breaks and outdoor time as needed. These walks are a regular part of our schedule and help ensure our 8-year-old Siberian Husky gets the exercise and stimulation he needs. We also spend time in our large fenced-in backyard, which gives additional safe space for activity and play. Because I’m home during the day, I’m able to be flexible and responsive to a dog’s needs—whether that’s extra potty breaks, attention, or adjusting activity based on energy level or weather. Overall, pet care fits very naturally into our household rhythm and is already an important part of our daily family routine. We start the day with feeding, potty breaks, and a walk, and we typically do at least one longer walk each day to make sure our dog gets enough exercise and mental stimulation. Since we have an 8-year-old Siberian Husky, we’re very familiar with meeting the needs of high-energy dogs and making sure they stay active and engaged. Throughout the day, pets are part of our home environment. Because I am a stay-at-home mom to two young children, I’m home and available to provide regular supervision, attention, and outdoor breaks as needed. We also have a large fenced-in backyard, which allows for safe outdoor play and extra exercise time. In the evenings, we maintain a calm routine with another potty break, feeding, and time spent relaxing together as a family. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, well-exercised, and integrated into a structured but flexible household where they are treated like part of the family.
“Anna is fabulous! We have a new puppy and she has watched him all week for us while we are at work! She makes sure he gets playtime with her dogs and naps in too! She sends lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, which we love! She has done great with helping his potty training and keeping us informed with his rover card each day!”
“You will appreciate Julie who is willing to take your dog for a walk or possibly to the dog park. She has a great big fenced yard. She will cuddle with your dog on the couch and is very attentive in their care. I appreciated her and will request her again.”
About: I’m a stay at home momma who can’t wait to have pawsome adventures with your pups! 😊🐶 I have experience in feeding, grooming, walking, administering medication, and ensuring a safe environment for dogs since childhood. This began with my family dogs, which taught me the importance of love and patience with our furry family members, and this mentality has continued into my adult life with my own pups. I am a stay at home momma so I have a lot of availability and flexibility all week long for boarding, daycare, check ins, etc.! I have a large yard with a friendly fur baby of my own to keep your pet company! I also have endless tough chewer toys to keep your pup’s tail wagging!
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have had both cats and dogs since I was a little girl. Caring for pets has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love being around animals of all kinds. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily care, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving pets the attention and love they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible and reliable schedule that allows me to provide consistent pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I am able to accommodate regular visits, overnight care, and extended stays when needed. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I prioritize dependability and clear communication to ensure each pet receives steady, attentive care while you’re away. I provide calm, attentive care in either my client’s home or my own, always prioritizing each pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. I create a low-stress environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed, following their normal feeding schedules, exercise needs, litter box or habitat care, and any specific instructions provided. I take time to build trust at the pet’s pace, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I pay close attention to their behavior and wellbeing. Communication with pet owners is consistent so you always feel informed and confident your pet is being well cared for.
About: We grew up with pets and we have a pet loving family. We have a German wirehair pointer dog, cat and raise rabbits for showing. We also volunteer at a local goat farm and help take care of goats. I work full time out of the home, Monday-Friday, so your dog will be kenneled while we are at work. Unless it’s summer or holiday then my schedule may be different. I will do morning walks and night walks and playtime outside after and before work. We have an unfenced large yard so your pet will be leashed for playtime. We have a nice larger private backyard so plenty of space for exercise.
“Ellen’s wonderful my puppy got to meet her daughter,son,and their dog ❤️🐾. She took really great care of my puppy Vince for the day. I highly recommend her. I had a wonderful first day of work knowing that my puppy was in the best care for the day.”
“Luke is so committed to giving great care to your dog. He keeps them safe, hydrated, listens to your requests & helps them to get exercise & socialization in his fenced yard. Rachel will “love on” your pet too..He sincerely cares & will communicate well with owners.”
“My dog had a fantastic day. He went on two walks, played with kids, met the neighbors and watched part of the day roll by on the porch. And when I picked him up, he absolutely crashed in the back seat. Paige and family are awesome!! Can’t wait to go back.”
“Russell and Linda took our dog on short notice. They were a big help. They have a lovely fenced yard and safe protocols in place. He was happy and safe when we picked him up.”
About: I grew up on a farm and my parents were both veterinarians. I love animals and am even tempered. I’ve had a dog my whole life (except during college) and I know how important exercise & companionship are for our furry friends. I’m currently working part-time from home and have lots of time to play & go for walks with your pup. My availability is very flexible. My backyard is fully fenced and a great size. My home is in a central location with great access to walking trails and not too far from the highway.
“Emily was very organized and took care of Frisco well. He came home tired from a day of hanging out with the dogs at Emily's house. Emily made drop off and pick up very easy. She also sent many pictures of Frisco throughout his day. I would definitely use Emily as a dog sitter again. Thanks, Emily!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Marine on Saint Croix
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,050 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Marine on Saint Croix. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Marine on Saint Croix 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 1,050 sitters in Marine on Saint Croix, 88% 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.
