“Nicole and David were wonderful with our dog, Luna. They were patient with her timid personality and allowed her to come out of her shell in her own time. They updated me frequently of how Luna was getting along and I appreciated their communication.”
“Lan did a great job caring for Martha and Susan! The picture update was appreciated, but girls looked very happy. Lan’s dog, Lucy, was adorable and friendly.”
“McKenzie was great and we can see why she’s rated so well. Our girls didn’t even look my way when we went to pick them up after their stay, which tells me they were having a great time and in the best care. Thank you!”
“Andrea was a fantastic sitter for our two dogs over a long weekend away. She sent us updates and had great communication. We are so grateful to have had a knowledgable, caring sitter for our dogs. Our dogs came home happy! Thank you, Andrea!”
“Dave was great to work with - very accommodating re drop off and pick up times. He was a thoughtful host - having multiple pet beds and cat condos. He even turned up his heat when I told him how much my cat seeks warmth.”
“We've used Robert in the past and will continue to do so. He's knowledgeable and takes great care of the dogs with lots of walks, free play time and pets/cuddles.”
“Kona had a great stay with Brittany. She was responsive when we missed Kona and needed a photo or two and she had great communication about each day. I would recommend her to friends.”
“I cannot say how amazing Kelsey and Jordan were! Rue can be a bit of a handful, but they were so great with her! She had an amazing time playing with their dogs and snuggling. I know this because they sent updates and photos showing how happy she was! We will absolutely use them again for sitting, and we're also excited that they are opening a doggy daycare! Rue cannot wait!”
“Kristen and her family are wonderful. Leo was happy to come home but seemed to have bene well cared for. There's love and activity at their home. We are glad they are close by.”
“Betsy is wonderful! My pup snuggled up to her right away. She sent pics and updates each day. She worked with me on pick and drop off times and everything went smoothly. Back at home Echo seems perfectly content, which is a sign for me that she was well cared for. Betsy will be my number one choice for future pup sitting needs.”
“Joe and Lu were so nice and professional! Finix was taking care of properly. They sent me pictures of Finix every day and Finix looked very happy when we went to pick her up.”
“Perla did a great job with our pups and provided pictures and updates on a daily basis. She was always very quick to respond to any questions. I would definitely use her pet sitting services again and would recommend to friends looking for a pet sitter!”
“Catherine was absolutely wonderful! This was Zuri's first time staying away from home and Catherine went above and beyond to make her feel at home. Catherine sent daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated, and lots of special treats and special love were given. Zuri also enjoyed having another dog to play with, as she is an only child. I would highly recommend Catherine and will definitely use her again.”
“Remy and Kevin are approachable, professional, and communicative. They also provided attentive care to my dog with daily updates. I highly recommend Remy and Kevin!”
“I’ve left my energetic dog with Lydia now for two stretches and both experiences have been tremendous! Leaving him the first time in a new environment was naturally a bit concerning, but with the daily pictures and updates Lydia provides, my mind was quickly convinced he was in a good place! Lydia is a warm and kind lady who is truly committed to caring for those fur babies entrusted to her. So happy to have found this spot, and I will continue to feel at ease and very content, knowing my boy is in a safe and caring home!”
“Susie and Matt provided the best care for our anxious Amy! We appreciate their expertise, confidence, and care. They made our time apart feel less worrisome by sending pics showing us how things were going. We absolutely plan to work with them 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.”
“We are so lucky to have Trudy to take care of Sweetie Pie. SP perked her ears up and looking for Trudy and Trudy’s family and their dog when I mentioned their names! They took her for walks, letting her riding in the car, watching iPad, and most of all playing and talking to her, maybe just having discussions 😉. SP had truly wonderful stay with them. Trudy send pictures and told me what’s going on…. Thank you!!”

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!
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.
