“Frank and Clarissa were amazing. They sent us pictures, let us know how our dog was doing and kept us at ease. Our dog can be a little shy when he first meets people and they made him feel like part of their family. Highly recommend!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Tracy. I was genuinely so nervous boarding my dogs for the first time, and from the very beginning she made me feel completely at ease. She was warm, patient, reassuring, and so communicative the entire time. What really stood out to me is how naturally comfortable my dogs were with her. You can tell she truly understands animals and cares about them like they’re her own. She sent updates and photos, answered my anxious first-time-boarder questions with so much kindness, and made the whole experience feel safe and personal. Finding someone you can actually trust with your dogs is huge, and Tracy is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“William took care of our Mini Schnauzer for 11 days while we were at a national conference. He sent daily photos and words about our dog. This was a daily refresher for us knowing our dog was in good hands. Communicating with William was superb!”
“What a wonderful sitter! My partner and I loved all the pictures and messages sent throughout the day, it really put us at ease. I will absolutely be contacting Yuli again for any future doggie day care needs. Our dogs loved her and you could tell she and her family really loved them back too.”
“Miranda cares for the dogs that she watches like they are her own and sent updates and check ins. Would absolutely recommend to those looking for a place for their pup where someone works from home so is able to provide care and attention throughout the day.”
“Dayjah did great with my two shepherds! She accommodated all of their needs and sent me a lot of photos throughout their stay! We will definitely use her again! ☺️”
“We highly recommend Kyle! Our dog, Waffles, loves to stay with them, we have used Kyle several times for long trips and we appreciate the updates he sends us and love that our dog just gets to join in on their day to day routine! Love coming home from a trip to a happy and tired dog.”
“Jared and Taylor were awesome taking care of our dog Scooter for a long weekend. They sent pictures and updates which we really appreciated. When we picked Scooter up he seemed just fine and happy. We will definitely try them again the next time we go out of town.”
“Leza was awesome! The entire process was perfect. She is great about communicating, sending pictures and messages about how our dog was doing. She is very passionate about pets and enjoys being active with them and just getting to know our baby. I highly recommend Leza!”
“Jana is wonderful with Murphy. Her kids adore him and it seems that he reciprocates. He always comes home happy. 😊 This was the second time Murphy had stayed with Jana and been very well looked after.”
“This was our 2nd time having our pup, Kai, stay with Logan, and we don’t have enough good things to say! You can really tell she has a love for animals, and we feel so comfortable having him stay with her when we’re away. He has so much fun at her place playing with her dogs. She even trimmed his nails during the stay! Highly recommend!”
“Lan, Lucy and family were wonderful with Mochi! Lan is a kind and experienced dog caregiver. We were gone for about a week. Mochi came home happy, tired, and clean! Thank you so very much.”
“Our dog Susie stayed with Natalie for a week while we were out of town. She was well cared for and loved running around in the backyard. All of the other dogs were friendly and played together well. I would have Susie stay with Natalie in the future if needed.”
“John and Gretchen were ideal hosts for Charlie. They gave her lots of exercise and treats and treated her like their own. I would not hesitate using them again in the future!”

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.
94% of sitters in Orono can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Orono home-away-from-home, 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 Orono.
<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 Orono 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 , 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 .
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.
