“Brenda & family were amazing with Aspen. Aspen felt right at home and happy. I received regular updates and knew she was well taken care of. Highly recommended.”
“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”
“Catherine is amazing! She was super responsive & flexible with a last minute change in schedule, administered antibiotics while we were away, and we feel totally comfortable leaving our pup in her care.”
“Trudy and Pat were so great and made the first time we left our dog without family so seamless and worry free! I got many updates and Hamilton was so clearly well taken care of! He had the best time! He got to sleep with Trudy and got to watch football with Pat - they will definitely be our go to sitter. We are so thankful for their help and kindness!”
“Andrea was great! She was very responsive & is an excellent communicator. She asked for a meet-up prior to Bergen's stay, to make sure he'd get along with the other dogs. We received daily updates & pictures for our dog & he came home very happy from his dog vacation. We would recommend her to others.”
“McKenzie took in my three dogs on very short notice and she was absolutely amazing! She's got a great way to section off her house and my dogs were all able to stay together. I'm very grateful that she allowed me to have a night off and she simply handled everything when I was away. I would highly recommend her and cannot wait to bring my dogs to her again on my next mini-vacation.”
“Deb did a fantastic job with my dog Brandy. Sent many pics and was always quick to respond answering all my questions. Brandy was comfortable at her house and she was very attentive to his needs. Deb also was very accommodating when I had changes to my travel plans. I would definitely recommend Deb and will b using her again!”
“Barbara was great. She shared daily updates, made my dog grilled chicken and rice when he wasn't eating, and acommodated a later pick up time when our flight was cancelled. I highly recomend her.”
“What can I say? I felt like Miss Hannibal taking Annie from Daddy Warbuck’s house. Our dog Mabel had a wonderful time with Doc and we felt very happy she was having a safe and cosy time.”
“They were very friendly and took great care of my dogs. One of my dogs is very shy but was still able to open up to them and trust them very quickly. I also appreciated being given regular updates and photos of how they were doing.”

“Kelly and Zac were AMAZING hosts to our pup Kona. We’ve only ever had family watch our Kona, so we were a little nervous to try something new. We had nothing to fear. Kelly and Zach made Kona feel right at home. They sent daily updates, took her on walks, and gave her all the love! Highly recommend :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mendota Heights
Nicole and David love being dog parents. They are experienced and joyful, and welcomed Nala like a family member. I never doubted her happiness with them and their two lovely dogs….there is an enormous fenced backyard for the dogs to romp and race in. I look forward to many more visits in our future. These are true experts. Don’t hesitate!
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!
Juneau absolutely loved her time with Robert and he definitely went the extra mile to make sure she had everything she needed. He also provided regular photo updates - still getting to "see" her on a regular basis made such a difference. I would book with Robert again without question and I know Juneau looks forward to the next time she gets to hang out with him.
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!
Katie and Josh were absolutely fantastic dog sitters. They were great communicators, so friendly, and incredibly patient and kind with my anxious Pomeranian. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such caring, attentive hands. I can’t recommend them enough and will definitely be using them again!
Kari and Brian are absolutely the best!!! They cared for Jackson (our high energy husky mix) for 4 nights as though he was truly part of their family. They walked him multiple times per day and sent photos and updates regularly to reassure us while we were away. They also brought Jackson home for us the night of our return. We HIGHLY recommend them for dog care! 🐕

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 Heights 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 Heights home-away-from-home, 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 Heights.
<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 Mendota Heights 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 , 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 .
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.
