“Kimberly and Tim were so good with my Ziva when I had to go out of town for a few days. Ziva seemed to really enjoy her time there and she was well cared for. Also they let her sleep with them like she's used to with me. I'll totally use their services again if I need to!”
“Allison was beyond amazing! I could feel her kindness from the start. She was so good with our dog. This was our first time leaving him since he was very young and he had so much fun! She has a deep understanding of dogs and is in tune with their needs. She sent updates and pics throughout the stay which was reassuring. Would recommend over and over.”
About: I've worked as an assistant dog trainer for over three years and I have a passion for working with dogs and understanding dog behavior. I've raised shelter dogs since I was five years old, have professional experience with many other species such as small animals and cattle. I also have a degree in clicker training from Karen Pryor Academy. I'll also work with aggressive dogs and dogs with behavior issues, even if other sitters have rejected them. I set my own hours, so I can work my routine around the needs of your dog. I am looking forward to meeting your dog! I believe in positive reinforment methods with a focus on understanding dog behavior to create the best life possible for the both dog and owner.
“This was my first time using Rover and I had the best experience. Gretchen and Eric were so great with Piper. She is an older anxious dog and they gave her tons of love and attention. I loved getting the updates and pictures. I will definitely have Piper stay with them again! Thank you so much for caring for my dog!”
“My pups loved the stay ! I was nervous that they were going to have an issue with the cats but nope! They were fine . She sent pictures so I had the reassurance . Will definitely rebook .”
“Hayden was very friendly and fast to reply. I definitely appreciated him watching my 2 dogs while I was away. My dogs seemed very happy and tired when I picked them up. I would definitely book him again.”
“Annika and Nathan C were incredible. I was an idiot and booked a hotel that didn’t allow pets during a cross country move from the state of Mississippi. These two answered my last minute request, were instantly comfortable with my high energy cats, and saved me from a ton of stress. They sent pictures throughout the stay and even hand delivered them to me the next morning. I’d give them 10 stars if I could.”
About: From 8 weeks old to senior pups, I’ve seen it all! Whether it’s basic canine knowledge, walking, bathing, medication administration, or pet snuggles, I’ve got you covered! I work full time M,W,Th,F (every Tuesday off) from 8:00am-5:00pm. With 2 dogs of my own (cavalier/shih tzu/bichon (17lb) and golden retriever (60+ pounds), we have a timely feeding and walking routine. Your pup will fit right in! With a two story house, patio, and open yard with a walking path nearby, the opportunities are endless for your pups needs to be met! Your pet can snuggle up on the furniture and/or bed or be crated if that is your preference.
“Acacia really came through and helped me out! She took on a very sudden reservation from me and made sure my dog was very well taken care of. My puppy Kirby loves being there and I would gladly book her again! :)”
“Ella is fantastic! I needed care for our three dogs on relatively last minute over Christmas break. She responded quickly to all communication. She was very welcoming and gave updates during our girl’s stay. I knew our girls were in great hands. I would recommend Ella to care for your fur baby. I will gladly bring our girls back when we need care in the future.”
“Nellie was well taken care of at Payton's house. Lots of belly rubs and exercise. I got updates daily on how she was doing. Her two furry playmates were welcoming and calm. I would definitely choose Payton again to take care of my fur baby.!”

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 Oakport 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 Oakport.
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 Oakport 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.
