“Bobby had a great time with Nickolai and his family, and enjoyed their large backyard and playing with their resident dog. He was well taken care of and returned home tired out, couldn’t ask for more!”
“Etta thoroughly enjoyed her time with Lydia. She made new puppy friends, slept in Lydia’s bed and found all the pillows to lay on. Thank you, Lydia, for taking such good care of Princess Etta.”
“Our pug LOVED his 4-day stay with Brenda and her family! Our little guy got along great with her two pit bulls and really bonded with their little boy. The dogs played and ran together in the fenced in yard. Our pug came home happy and ready to nap. Each day, I received a couple of photos with a brief update which I appreciated. This was a short-notice booking, and I am so grateful that Brenda was available. We will definitely arrange dog-sitting with Brenda in the future.”
“Sarah was very active and communicated well with me answering my questions and concerns. She was able to accommodate and accept my last minute request. Her family was also very friendly and helped us to watch our dog Enzo!! I highly recommend booking with Sarah.”
“Howie was great from the beginning. We were able to do a meet-and-greet at his home before Biscuit's stay and Howie was very patient as Biscuit sniffed around the house. Howie sent an update every day with several pictures pictures and a nice message which helped give us peace of mind. As we were leaving, his wife came up to the house and Biscuit was very excited to see her. It was clear Biscuit was well taken care of, given lots of attention, and that Howie had stuck to Biscuit's schedule and all the rules we have at home. This helped ensure Biscuit's transitions were very smooth. Thanks, Howie!”

Frances is so great, she took such great care of our golden retriever Charlie. Frances’ dog Luna is extremely sweet and had a blast welcoming Charlie into their home. We really appreciated all the updates about their adventures and how Charlie was doing throughout the stay.
Ericka was amazing! It was our first time ever having our dog stay with a sitter who wasn't family and we felt so confident and reassured knowing he was under Erika's care. Ericka has great communication and sent us lots of photo updates. Our dog was super well taken care of and gained a new friend! Thank you Erika! I would recommend Erika to any dog family!
Kathleen was wonderful with my senior pup! She gave plenty of updates, and was great about asking questions and responding to my own when she could. She was quite accommodating with my dogs med schedules, and took the time to make sure she got them down. I hope to book with Kathleen again!
Luke is hands down one of the best pet sitters I have ever hired we will always come back. He watched my poodle chihuahua and my husky, taking incredible care of both despite their very different personalities and needs. My chihuahua has a limp from a luxated patella, and Luke was so gentle and thoughtful in managing her care to keep her comfortable. Meanwhile, my husky always demands the most attention in the room, and Luke gave her all the focus, love, and affection she could ever ask for. From the start, Luke was warm, welcoming, and completely professional. He kept my mind at ease the entire time by sending constant updates and tons of photos. It is rare to find a sitter who truly understands each dog's unique needs and health requirements, and I will definitely be booking Luke again in the future!
Timothy and his partner did a great job watching our dog. she came home happy, healthy, and worn out. they really saved us when they were able to take a last min boarding after our other sitter cancelled. Dakota says she spent 9 glorious days with them and can't say enough good things about them. I asked her to write the review and she reminded me about the whole opposable thumbs thing. if you need a sitter, I would not hesitate to recommend Timothy!
Such a wonderful and helpful person. My dog had to be seen by a vet while staying with Kristy. I am forever grateful for the care, patience and attention she gave to the situation so I was able to remain away from home without worrying about my fur baby. Her level of care is beyond five-stars. Simply one of the best 😍🫶👍
Sophia took care of my cats on short notice, giving my older cat his medicine daily and giving them both space to roam and space to hide and be comfortable. I was worried about my older Cat's anxiety but his appetite and activity level were healthy during and after his stay.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
