“My pup loves Cynthia and her place! Lots of dogs to socialize with, tons of exercise in the big and fenced backyard, plus abundant love and care is given to all the 4-legged friends. Just between you and me, I think my pup would rather live there than go home with me! A good problem to have 😁 Can’t recommend enough!”
“Absolutely could not be happier or more grateful for Margarita and her family. The whole process was super easy and after the meet and greet I left feeling 100% confident that bubba would be in great hands. Then traveling back home from Sioux Falls, we get hammered by blizzard conditions. The last 20 miles before finally giving up, I could barely see the lines on the road, let alone any cars in front of me. So we pulled off and checked in to a hotel. Thankfully Margarita was SUPER understanding and reassuring. I was in a bit of a panic worrying about this and that, and the fact that Loki didn't have to be one of those worries was a huge relief. When we finally made it back the next day I could tell he wasn't super thrilled about leaving, which is always what you want to see. (And with that massive yard, I can't blame him!) Will definitely be "boarding" with her and her family again in the future! Super communicative with updates and photos to put our minds at ease.”
“Aish and her family were so sweet and attentive to our fur baby. I was a little bit concerned (but expecting) that our pup will probably not eat at first due to new surroundings. But I was wrong. He felt welcome and secure and had a lot of fun playing with Scooby that he felt at ease immediately and was eating regularly. Aish sent me lots of pictures of him. :) I would definitely recommend Aish!”
“Chelsi did great with Hazel! She gave us many updates (videos & pictures) as to how Hazel was doing! Chelsi is also great with responding to messages in a timely fashion! She great with making accommodations if your pet needs them!”
“Cheyenne is AMAZING! We have used her twice, once for a extended trip and one for a shorter one. Our sweet girl is so loved and taken excellent care of! Lille seems sad her first day home after being at Cheyenne’s, she surely misses her! Communication is amazing and she sends us multiple updates and pics through her stay and it helps us a ton even though we know she’s in amazing care. She loves Cheyenne and all the friends she makes while she is there! Can’t say enough good things!! We will not bring her anywhere else when we travel.”
“Lisa and Drew watched my two dogs for 5 days. They took very good care of them - they are both on medications and needed a little extra attention. The little boys also enjoyed them as well. They were easy to contact and quickly responded to me. I would recommend them to watch your pets! Definitely a five star review!!”
“We had a great stay with Amanda and Michael! Our dog was there for 9 nights and we got updates daily as well as they reached out with any questions or concerns that came up which I really appreciated! Our dog came back happy and they seemed to treat her like family.”
“Becky is so wonderful taking care of our Baxter & allowing us to pick him up late after our flight. The picture & video updates helped to see how he was doing!! We will definitely bring Baxter to Becky again!!!”
“Elizabeth and her family were great. She made sure to help Diesel get around the house since he is a senior dog and I received plenty of pictures so I could make sure he was settling in ok.”
“Shelby and her family were amazing. She had both of my corgis for the first time for seven nights. She kept me updated throughout the day, every day. It was like she read my mind, too… as soon as I was wondering how my corgs were doing, a notification popped up from her with multiple photos of happy dogs absolutely loving their time with her. I think my dogs miss her now that they are home, haha! We will definitely book with her again!”
“Liana and family took great care of my doggie. Her dog Winston was a nice companion for my dog, Freckles. Freckles enjoyed her walks. Liana sent many pictures during Freckles 2 week stay. I highly recommend Liana to watch over your fur baby!”
“Allison and her family were amazing!!! Updates and pics were sent daily during the stay. When I picked my dog up she had the biggest smile on her face. Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Stacy was fantastic! She watched my cat for four days and did an amazing job. She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of everything. I highly recommend her and will definitely look to book her again!”
“Any cares for Lucky like a baby.. She sent me regular updates and was concerned when Lucky wouldn't eat (separation anxiety 😅 ). Amy made him comfortable, away from the bigger dogs so he could eat. She gave him a most adorable parting gift and a Halloween bandana to wear ❤️ She is my preferred choice for Lucky 's caregiver. 10/10”
“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”
“Marill was wonderful to work with on a short notice need. She was patient and caring to our two dogs right from the get go and gave them the time they needed to feel comfortable in new surroundings. 100% will be using this service again and I can't thank her enough!”
“Wow!! I am sooooi glad I found Lexi and her family. Its not always easy to trust basically a stranger to watch your did, especially when he’s like a child to you but I’m so glad I did. Pictures and updates everyday, and a wore out little man getting home!! Thank you Lexi and family!! Murphy looks forward to seeing you again!! ❤️❤️”
“Robin was amazing!!! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. She is very accommodating, she was constantly sharing with me how Blue was doing and included pictures. Her and her whole family made Blue feel like a part of their family. Thank you so much Robin!🤍”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Nerstrand 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 Nerstrand.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Nerstrand 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.
