“Our chihuahua/terrier Fitz loved his stays with Lan! He returns to her house with a hop in his step, running full speed ahead into her arms. His behavior says it all - he feels safe and we’ll cared for. What more could we ask? We live out of town and connected with Lan on a family visit - we hope to have Lan care for Fitz in future visits!”
“Kyle provided a comfortable stay for my dog Len's first Rover experience. Even though it was a pretty short stay it was so nice to get pictures and an update on how Len was doing. Will definitely be using Kyle again!”
“I’m so glad and thankful we met Aish in Rover . Aish and family took good care of Cloud. They send pics and videos throughout the day, and I’m at peace during our vacay knowing she’s well taken care off.”
“We will definitely be using Betsy again in the future. Betsy was very responsive to messages. We felt comfortable leaving our dog with her and knew she’d be in good hands. We got updates and pictures of our dog often. Betsy will be our go to dog sitter!”
“Leaving my two Aussie ladies with this family was an easy decision. They were very responsive, sent photos and updates, and let my young Aussie sleep with them. Their dog also played so well with the young Aussie!!”
“My dog Scout had the best weekend ever with Jessica, her husband, and their dog Cooper! They were incredibly accommodating with Scout’s needs, and even with my travel schedule when it got delayed. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Ruby was great! She took care to ensure Jamba felt right at home. I especially appreciated the accommodation to do a meet and greet in advance so that Jamba felt more comfortable when I left him. I was able to relax and enjoy my weekend knowing Jamba was in good hands!”
“Amanda and her family treated Appa so well! She sent so many cute pictures, I could tell they totally spoiled him during his visit. We would love to use them in the future!”
“Amazing experience with Doc and Heather! They were very caring and often made sure we knew how our dog was doing while we were out of town. Very professional and highly recommend them to anyone looking!!”
“My dogs had such a wonderful time with Tristan and his family. It is rare that I don’t worry about how my dogs are doing while away on travel. It was clear from the pictures of my dogs that they were having a great time and were very comfortable with Tristan! I will be booking again in the future!”
“We were very pleased with the care our dog received with Amy! She was great with communication and it was clear when we picked him up that he really enjoyed staying with her. We will definitely use her again!”
“Katie is awesome with our senior pup! He fits right in to her own funky pack :-) Bandit, our 14-year-old pomeranian always has a good time at her place for boarding.”
“Care for Mia was great! I was able to drop off at an early morning hour (which isn’t always ideal) and I was able to pick up earlier than I thought I needed care for. I appreciate the flexibility and knowing Mia was cared for so well!”
“I cannot rave enough about the love and care that Martha and Eric gave my dog while I was abroad!! They were so diligent with sending updates, communicating, and navigating special considerations such as my dog’s food allergies and a recent dental extraction. There was no doubt that my dog had a blast staying with them; he came home very happy and very tired!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mendota
I think Xena had a great time with Lisa and her dogs. The pictures were greatly appreciated. We've had very successful Rover experiences in the past and this time was just as good. It's wonderful to have this service from persons who love pets as much as their owners do. We would definitely ask Lisa to take Xena again if we need a sitter and she's available.
Joanna and John seriously go above and beyond every time when caring for our pups! Not only are they organized and responsive, you can also tell they truly care for the dogs and spoil them. Mine never want to leave when we come to pick them up ☺️ we also had a significant delay with our flight coming home and they were flexible and understanding. I can't recommend them enough—it's so nice to know they're in good hands!
I highly recommend Ryan if you are looking for a reliable, communicative, and professional sitter. I needed several days of watching for my older dog, and Ryan was more than willing to keep an eye on her for several days. He was respectful, and he also went above and beyond to help me with transportation due to an unexpected delay/issue on my end. I tend to believe your dog is the best indicator of how things went, and mine whined for several hours after Ryan dropped her off. She also kept watch out the window, seemingly hoping he would come back. I think that speaks for itself, and I will definitely rebook with Ryan for any future needs. Finding a trustworthy sitter is tough, though again, I (and Ava) definitely recommend Ryan!
Katherine and Andrew watched our 14 month golden retriever, Oskar, for a month while we got married and honeymooned. We truly can’t thank them enough. This family is so sweet, with a lovely, clean home, and they clearly cared for our pup as if he was their own. They sent photos regularly, and little check-ins about how we was settling in, all of which helped us feel so good and enjoy our time away knowing Oskar was in such caring hands. We got him back and he hadn’t skipped a beat.
Sarah was incredible with my dog Mochi! I am always a little apprehensive to send my large high energy dog to sitters without a fully fenced, but Sarah took Mochi on lots of fun adventures to get her energy out! She always sent photos daily which I appreciated. I could not recommend Sarah more!

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 Mendota 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 Mendota 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 Mendota.
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 Mendota. 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 Mendota 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.
