“Robert is excellent, he sends photos and videos, I always feel good leaving our girl with Robert and his wife because I know they take great care of her and love her as their own.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Our dogs were so happy and loved! They felt comfortable enough to show their personalities, and loved their new friends. Even our grumpy old man came around.”
“Katie did an awesome job taking care of Copper! She did a great job sending updates that included pics and videos. Could tell that he had a great time with her! Would highly recommend.”
“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 and her husband took excellent care of our dog. Very communicative with pics, video and messages. Made us feel very relaxed with the care of one of our family.”
“Mario is the absolute best! My cat is a picky girl, but Mario's patience, kindness, understanding and love for what he does, shows through with each video, and text message that lets you know that your pet is in good hands! Will I book again? 100% 🩷”
“Ellen is great with our dog, who loves to visit Ellen's place. Ellen has always been responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with. We check Ellen's calendar before we schedule trips!”
“Deborah was so good to Jet and very attentive and communicative with our family. We appreciated the frequent updates and pictures that were sent. We will definitely book with Deborah again. 10/10!!”
“This was our first Rover experience and I couldn't be happier! We had open communication and photos the whole time. Carrie was great for Burt and even made special accomodations. Highly recommend!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kristen and her family helped us out over a weekend. Her young girls have a lot of energy but she kept and eye on our Leo to be sure they were good with him. He sleeps a lot and they let him do that. All evidence was that Leo was cared for.”
“Our Hazel, who is not the easiest dog in the world, had a great time with Andrea. We were out of the country for 3 weeks, and we had great confidence that she was well loved and cared for by Andrea. She's a smart dog-lover who won over Hazel completely! Hazel would go back to Andrea in a heartbeat!”
“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”
“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.”

I have never left my dog with someone new before and was determined to find the right fit. I noticed Nicole and David C. (and family) had 5 stars, great reviews, and dozens of returning dogs, which suggested they are amazing - and I can now confirm this is the case. They made my girl feel right at home with snuggles, scratches, and allowing her space to nap quietly too. They have a great understanding of dog behavior and needs, and I could tell genuinely enjoyed my dog being there. They sent pictures and videos of my girl enjoying her stay, playing with pups, snuggled on the couch, having her ears scratches, and rolling in the sunny grass. I will definitely be asking them to watch her again in the future and am so grateful for their amazing care of my pup!
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Our dog has rear paralysis and requires extra care, and they went above and beyond to learn his routine and make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. Their patience, compassion, and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend them, especially if your pet has special needs!
Robert sent lots of pictures and videos and updated me often on how Asher was doing. Asher got along great with his two dogs and they were best friends by the end of the stay. Robert has a great yard for dog play and also takes them to a local park. I would definitely book with Robert again.
Deborah was so kind and attentive to my dog. I know this both from the many photos and, even more, because my shy (recently rescued) dog warmed up to her within two days (a miracle). I also appreciated Deborah’s care in asking for us to do a home visit before I left, so she could meet and get a sense of my dog (and vice versa). My dog also loved her fenced-in yard area, where she hung out while Deborah gardened. She took my dog on good walks along with her dog. (I asked her to do them together b/c it steadies my dog.) She has a very comfortable room set up for visiting dogs so they can get used to her and her home on their own timetable. She spent lots of time with my dog in that room until she started to come on her own accord to other areas of her home. She has some pet stairs, which I appreciated b/c my dog has a bad back and can’t jump down from heights. I will definitely book with Deborah again! Thank you so much!
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!
This was our second time boarding Maya with John and Joanna. We were so lucky to find an opening in their schedule and we didn’t hesitate to have Maya board with them. They are incredibly warm and loving people and you can tell they really care about your dog. They took our pup on walks and gave her lots of outside time and took such good care of her! They send us such great pictures and two videos of them feeding her cucumbers which made our hearts melt. We feel so safe and comfortable having them take care of our dog and know we will be back! :) thank you!!
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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Mendota Heights sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Mendota Heights landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mendota Heights 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 Heights.
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 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 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.
