“Hopps has enjoyed his days with Kara and the family. He looks forward to playing in the yard with Oscar, walks with the kiddos and having someone to follow around all day. Kara is so great at documenting the day with pictures and reporting on his activities. I know he’s in good hands 😊”
“Kira was amazing with my newly adopted dog. I didn't want him to be alone during a few medical appointments I had, so he stayed with her a few times. He came home so exhausted and happy and I was able to feel very comfortable and not worry about him being alone at his brand new home. I will definitely rebook with her again. Thanks Kira!”
“McKenzie is the best thing that’s ever happened for my reactive pup. He is able to go play with other dogs and flourish in her care. She is also skilled with medically needy pups and flexible with her scheduling. The absolute best.”
“Howie was amazing with Maizey. She is a bit timid around strangers, but she felt right at home at his house. Makes mom not worry so much when she is away that Maizey is in good hands! Will definitely book Howie again!”
“My dog Arlo loves visiting Sarah and her family. As soon as he sees Sarah he wiggles in excitement, wags his tail and gives her a huge smile. Highly recommended!”
“We loved having Lindsey watch our dog, Maaya. She was very easy to communicate and coordinate with. She also shared lots of details and photos at the end of each day. Would highly recommend and have her watch Maaya again.”
“Lely & Mark were wonderful with Oakley! They kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. He stayed busy with lots of playtime and even got a nice walk in. It was clear he was in great hands—he came home happy and promptly fell asleep from a full, fun day. We’re so grateful for the great care and would happily have Oakley stay with them again!”
“Lydia has been watching my pup for several weeks now, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter! You can tell she really cares about all of the dogs she watches. She's a fantastic communicator and is flexible with schedules. I highly recommend her!”

“Lincoln had such a great time with Nathan and his family. He came home very tired and slept the rest of the evening. He went for a walk and played with the kids. As a young dog it was great exposure for him. I would definitely take him back next time I need a sitter. Thanks Nathan.”

He came home happy and tired🥳 Thank you, Takenya for caring so deeply and communicating so well!”
“Great experience!! Howie loved his outing today at Katie’s house. We’re very pleased at how accommodating Katie has been helping us get re-acclimated to using Rover services. And she’s absolutely wonderful with our 2 year old puppy!! 👍”

Lindsey is just great with Flora. She shares with us some updates through the day which I really appreciate and makes sure Flora is comfortable in her house. She also takes Flora on walks which is very kind of her! I am super happy to refer her services to everyone!
Lizzy and her husband warmly welcomed U-Jin into their home. I inesduatejybfekt at ease with them and Lizzy gave updates throughout the day. She took amazing care of my special guy and I would happily rebook again. My dog lucked out with plenty of physical activity and attention and he looked very happy when Lizzy walked him out to meet me at the end of the day.
Dave is an amazing pet sitter! Oona felt so comfortable and relaxed with him right away. He was also super understanding and flexible when we got delayed at work, staying up late with her until we could pick her up. We really appreciate his care and help. Highly recommend Dave to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
Ryan was wonderful with Paco, who can be shy and wary of new people at first. Not so with Ryan - he settled right in and seemed to have a great time. In fact, on our evening walk (we live close to Ryan) he led me directly to Ryan's building and tried to head inside!
Josie had so much fun with Ashley! Ashley took her on a long walk and did a great job managing Josie’s anxiety around other dogs. She sent me lots of pictures and updates which was so reassuring as this was our first time using Rover! We will definitely be booking her again! Thanks Ashley!
We don't typically have the privilege of visiting the same sitter twice, because we move so often. However, this was Cam and Morgan's second stay at Lydia's, and they were well cared for like the previous time. Grateful to her for keeping them on short notice while we attended a Twins game.
Karen and Ryan were fantastic caregivers for our senior dog, Kurt. Great communication before and during the visit. Beautiful home with a wonderful fenced yard. Super flexible with drop off and pick up times. Very friendly and professional. Kurt loved his three days with them. I highly recommend Karen and Ryan for your pet-sitting needs in Minneapolis.
Anna was wonderful. She looked after our Vizsla for a day whilst we attended a wedding in Minneapolis. As out of towners, she really helped us out by occupying Red and entertaining him for the day! Thank you so much Anna! Red seemed very content when we picked him up and it looks like he had a lot of fun with you!
Kimi was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Scotch! He adored her from the start. She took him on long walks, kept me updated throughout his daycare stay, and gave him so much love and attention. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. 10/10 recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Minneapolis on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Minneapolis 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 1,744 sitters in Minneapolis, 87% 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.
