“We had the most positive experience leaving our dog for a week in the care of Kay and her family. Their home provided Tilly with all the stimulation, exercise, attention and, above all, love that she could need. Plenty of updates, anecdotes and photos kept us worry-free, knowing she was in such a blessed place. We hope to bring Tilly to see Kay again, when the opportunity arises.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mayumi! She took such great care of our dog while we were on vacation and gave us so much peace of mind. She regularly sent pictures and updates so we could see how he was doing, which we really appreciated. It was clear he was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend!!”
“I have officially found my dog’s home away from home. Amy and her daughter did a great job taking care of my dog! Everyday I get daily picture updates which puts a smile on my face. I love how easy it was to book. The whole process from drop off to pick up was a breeze. I also didn’t have to bring much aside from food since Amy already has everything from toys to leashes (this is great for those traveling). I highly recommend Amy for your boarding service. Plus her price is unbeatable!”
“First time using Rover and Enrique exceeded our expectations! Was so responsive, sent pics, and updates throughout the day. We were so lucky to have found him, and he will be a go to in the future! He watched our very young puppy and gave her the love and attention she needed (especially being so young). Our puppy also made a new bestie with his sweet dog Buttons. Definitely gave us peace of mind knowing our new puppy was with a great family!”
“I can’t thank Julie enough for the care she took with our dogs on their recent stay. She went above and beyond to help comfort our anxious dog. Julie was communicative and very, very caring. It’s tough being away from our dogs when we’re traveling but I felt better knowing they were in Julie’s care.”
“Mochi has the best time at Alicia and Simon's! They send us daily pictures/videos/ and updates. When Mochi comes home he is always exhausted and sleeps for 2 days!!!”
“Maria helped me out with very little notice. She is friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell that she loves animals. My dog, Gus, loved her backyard, which is very spacious and clean. I will definitely bring my dog to her in the future.”
“Another great stay. Glenn got to see one of his dog friends too!! Boarding and day care with Yuliya has helped Glenn better interact and communicate with other dogs.”
“April and Austin take amazing care of Hercules! He loves staying there when we go out of town, and when we arrive he immediately starts to run around the fenced yard and play with Tulla. My family talks about how comforting it is to know he's in great hands and always has fun. We also love the pictures and updates while we're away! I would highly recommend entrusting your dog to their care.”
“Eric did a great job of keeping us up to date on Captain and their girls gave us a lovely thank you card. We would feel great leaving Captain with them again.”
“Karlee was excellent, Maverick came home exhausted from all the playtime he got! It was first time using Rover app, so was a little nervous going in, but she sent updates and pics. Will definately use her again!!”
“Leza provided outstanding care and updates while we were traveling. Our dog was walked multiple times per day and enjoyed time outdoors with Leza and her family. I highly recommend Leza for dog care. She is a standout caregiver.”
“Renee and James were absolutely amazing! This was my first time ever using the Rover. Our dog is older but can be needy as he loves to be around people. The photos and updates on how Tucker was doing made me know he was having just as much fun as we were while on vacation. We will definitely be using them again 🐶❤️”
“Tanya and Scott take great care of Lucky. They are very respectful and quick to communicate. It is nice to be able to leave for the holidays and know that Lucky is having fun and getting super care.”
“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!”
“Rene is great and my dog King loves her. Apparently he sneaked out under a small rabbit hole - not her fault cuz King tends to dig and look for where he can escape. He returned without problem and I will always continue to use Rene as my doggy sitter. She takes great care of him!!”
“Thanks for taking care of Stella and Walter like they were your own. I feel so comfortable leaving them with you guys. They love playing in your back yard and chasing squirrels. You are our go to for taking care of our babies!!”
“Susan and Craig did a fantastic job taking care of Cooper while we were in Europe! This has been the longest that I have been away from our fur baby for this long and I knew he was in great hands. They are great communicators and do an excellent job handling all of Cooper's different food preferences. They also do a great job managing his anxiety during storms/fireworks. We are grateful to have found them.”

Frist time we used rover, and it was a great experience with kristi! Our oliver clearly was comfortable with being at kristi's house; he went on walks, played and cuddled. Kristi sent texts/pics with updates, which was great to get and see that oliver was doing good! Would definitely have kristi watch oliver anytime! 🤗🤗🤗
Repeat customer! Had The Littles stay with Meghann again for over a week and again so incredibly happy and grateful!! She and her kids clearly love them and give lots of affection and attention. They were in great spirits when I picked them up and didn't give me any stink-eye from being upset that I "abandoned" them lol My pups are always in great hands with Meghann and her kids!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Otsego 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 Otsego 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 Otsego.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Otsego. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Otsego 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
