“I knew it would be a good fit right from our initial meeting. LOLA felt very comfortable with Amy and played with a couple of other small dogs whom she happened to be watching at the time. Being an only dog at our house, Lola loved the opportunity for socializing. When I picked her up, she greeted me, but then continued roaming in Amy's house and stretching out on the kitchen floor. I am so grateful for Amy and her daughter, Lola was very comfortable and well cared for. I highly recommend Amy, she will treat your pet as her own. Thanks Amy...will definitely rebook when the need arises. :)”
“Katelyn watched my dog for the weekend and took such great care of her! They went on a hike, to get pup cups and on lots of walks. She kept me updated and sent me lots of pictures. Would book again!”
“Promise took great care of my dog, he made friends with her dogs, and he looked great when we picked him up him up. Would definitely recommend her, and bring him back again!”
“Bryan took excellent care of our energetic puppy! She went for walks, played with other dogs- she clearly got plenty of exercise. We really appreciated the photo updates throughout the weekend. We will definitely book with Bryan again!”
“Sarah and her husband Paul did a wonderful job caring for our pup. Sarah is communicative, dog savvy, and easy to work with. She even adjusted his walk schedule on account of the heat wave. Our boy enjoyed his time hanging out with Sarah’s family, and I would feel confident booking again. Thanks, Sarah!”
“Our pup had so much fun at McKenzie's house! She took such great care of him and I didn't worry at all about him while we were gone. I will definitely use McKenzie again in the future!”
“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.”
“Caitlin is a very good sitter. She took care of my two old girls, who take medication and are both on special diets. I felt like they were very safe in Caitlin's care.”
“I highly recommend Jessie. She was so great to our dog Ivy; she took her on walks, car rides, to Bachman's, and gave Ivy treats (approved by us). Jessie sent us updates every single night with lots of pictures. Ivy definitely missed Jessie once she got back home 🥰”
“can't say enough about the care that my dog Moose got from KiirstenC while I traveled over the holiday. ! It was our first experience with Rover. Moose was well fed, played with, snuggled, and truly loved by Kiirstenn and her family. She sent me texts and pictures while I was gone updating me on his activities. Moose is a Shih Tzu, Kiirsten's dog is also a Shih Tzu. She gets us! I can honestly say that I did not worry about Moose all the while I was gone. I would call upon Kiirsten to leave Moose with whenever I need to travel again, knowing he is loved and well taken care of when I cant be with him.”
“This was my dog Odin’s first time staying at a sitter’s for longer than a day or two. I was a little nervous leaving him but I shouldn’t have been. Barbara was so good at keeping me updated with his stay and sent lots of pics while we were away. Odin had a great time playing with her dog as well! We will definitely come back next time we need a sitter.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Erin and Ramin! They took excellent care of our dog and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and messages, which made us feel connected and reassured that our pup was happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“I will definitely be going to Lizzy for any services again!! She made sure to update me everyday and really made the pups were happy while my partner and I were away (:”
“We used Rover for the first time and found Susan's profile to be right up ours and our shih-pop's alley! Susan is very sweet and had a big yard for our older pup to run around and enjoy the sun. We absolutely will be using her again in the future!”
“Basil had so much fun playing with Augie and running outside in their fenced in backyard in fresh snow. Very nice family and we would love to have them care for Basil again.”
“Maria is great with my senior dog Henry. She made sure he was eating well and administered all his medications. She’s in a great location for boarding and is always pleasant to work with with. Thanks so much, Maria! ☺️”

Thank you so much, Liam, for taking such wonderful care of Skooty and Maisie. I truly appreciate all the time, attention, and hard work you put into caring for them, especially considering Skooty’s medical needs. This was their first time away from home, and you made them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Just as importantly, you made me feel completely at ease leaving them with you, which meant so much. I can't thank you enough for going the extra mile by bringing them home to me after my delayed evening flight. That level of kindness and dedication is rare, and I truly appreciate it.
Angelica and her brother were amazing. I had a last minute booking and they happily accommodated Mulligan for a few days. Super responsive and lots of photos, videos, and even took him to get a treat to bring home. Long walks, splashed in the lake, and a few trips to his favorite stores made for an activity filled weekend. He didn’t wanna leave when I came back so he clearly loved his stay. We’re both excited for his next visit. Thank you, Angelica!!
Abby was absolutely AMAZING with our golden retriever Otto. We got frequent photos and updates - she also takes the cutest photos! Otto had a great time. Despite the heat over the last week, she got him out as much as possible for walks and adventures!! We will definitely be using Abby again in the future!!
This was our first time using Hannah, and she was wonderful! From the very start, she was very quick to respond and set up a meet & greet. My dog has a bit of anxiety which always makes me a little nervous to leave him with new people, but he did great. She administered meds with no issues and communicated with me about a possible situation early on, that fortunately turned out to be just fine. She sent me the perfect amount of updates and photos throughout the stay, and provided safe and comfortable care for my dog. We will definitely use Hannah again in the future!
Rachel was so flexible when our planned sitter cancelled last minute, our dog spent 5 days at her place. Our dog was loving his time there, and we received plenty of updates- you could tell that she takes the time to understand and adapt care for our dog. We could not recommend Rachel more, and are already planning to use her in the future- genuinely a great experience!

There are 2,717 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Minneapolis. About 91% of Minneapolis sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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.
