“Tango had a 5 star stay at Laura and Nathan’s!! He was with them for a week while we were on vacation and he had the BEST time! They sent us pictures and updates every day, he got tons of play time in their awesome fenced-in backyard, TONS of love and attention and snuggles, they gave him his medication twice a day, and we had absolutely no worries at all while we were gone-we joked that Tango looked like he was having more fun on vacation than us!😁 Their daughter was absolutely amazing with him and I know he is going to miss his new BFF🥰 They are a family that loves animals and we were so happy and grateful to know he was in such excellent hands for the week! I can’t say enough good things or recommend them highly enough! THANK YOU Laura, Nathan, and family🙏🏻💛”
“Patty took great care of our dogs and was flexible when a family emergency made us later getting back to town than expected. Huge fenced yard and the boys came back exhausted so we know they had a good time. Thank you!”
“This is the first time my fur babies have been “boarded” with a stranger. Courtney was AMAZING and so conscientious about their needs. I received photos and updates which were much appreciated. I feel so fortunate to have found Courtney and my boys adore her!”
“Milo had a great time there. He enjoyed playing with their dogs, and going for walks. I enjoyed the updates and pictures. I would definitely take Milo here again!”
“Leah made everything easy for pick up and drop off. Home appears to be very well cared for and clean. I think our dog was also spoiled by her children, with lots of attention. Would book again with zero hesitation. Thanks.”
“Christina was great! My dog had a blast running around in her yard and long walks through their property! I received lots of pictures and knew my dog was being taken care of very well. Would definitely recommend Christina for your boarding needs!”
About: I have owned all types of animals my entire life, from horses to cats and dogs, my experience with animals has a long history. I love all dogs and love to make them feel loved. I am a caring and loving person and project that when spending time with any type of animal. I enjoy spending time outside and playing fetch, I also don't mind cuddling up with the ones that need some extra attention. I hope to provide a caring environment so they won't be missing their owners too badly while they are away. Giving animals attention and insuring they are properly fed, watered, and exercised is how I take care of my own animals, and when I am with your pet, they will become just like one of mine for they day!
“Excellent first time experience. Very caring and loving. Sent lots of pictures. Went above and beyond to make sure our doggy was well taken care of. He was tired after all the play time and slept like a log 😄 will definitely board again. Highly recommended!”
“Lisa was great! She made sure to keep us posted on how Peppa was doing at her home and with her other pups (all good!) and sent a few photos as well. Our girl only stayed over 1 night but she seemed to be well taken care of and happy upon her return!”
“Christina was wonderful with our cat, Molly! We were so grateful she was available at the last minute. She stayed in contact the whole week we were gone and sent the cutest pictures of Molly! We highly recommend Christina and will absolutely call her again!”

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 Palmers 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 Palmers 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 Palmers.
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 Palmers. On Rover:

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 Palmers 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.
