“Amanda went above and beyond when my 1 yo German Shepherd had a few episodes of diarrhea while in her care. Truly a blessing to have her caring for my puppy during this. Can't thank her enough.”
“Andrea is amazing! She is very open to our schedule and sends a bunch of pictures of our puppy having a wonderful time with her family, we know that Monty is in great hands when Andrea is watching him!!”
“Regina is by far the best dog boarder I have ever had the pleasure of using. She makes being away from your dog so much less stressful. Daily updates and pics. I won't go to anyone else. She's simply the best”
“Fantastic job! Pictures were so amazing! They put my Mind at ease and I knew my baby was getting the best care! Olly enjoyed his time and learned to be around other dogs! Thank you for a truly wonderful experience!”
“Karen is one of the kindest, most caring people I've come across in a long time. After an issue with my previous boarding reservation, I found Karen the night before my trip, and she took both of my dogs with less than 12 hours' notice. While I was away, she sent consistent updates and photos. She spoiled them with long walks, treats, toys, and plenty of cuddles. It was clear she treated them like part of her own family. When I picked them up, they almost seemed sad to leave! They came home more relaxed and happy than I've ever seen them after a trip. I'd give her 6 stars if I could. Highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a kind, loving sitter for their pets.”
“Such a wonderful family and beautiful home! My pup was very very happy here and I know she was treated just like family. We are very glad we found Emily, and we will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Bethany was wonderful! Our dogs had a great time with her family while we were out of town. She sent daily pictures which was so fun and reassuring. Will definitely book again!”
“My dog Boba stayed with Vrushali for 3 days and she was amazing at caring for him. She was good with sending updates as well. Boba and their dog Teddy got along very well, he is also very sweet. I will be using her services again in the future.”
“Jenna was great with my 9 month old pup Jasper who has lots of energy! She was very communicative and sent photos/videos each day! She responded quickly and was flexible. Thank you so much for your kindness and care with taking care of my dog!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mandy. This was the first time our dog Phil stayed with someone without us, so he was a bit nervous at first. However, Mandy was very patient and quickly found the right approach to make him feel comfortable and safe. She took great care of our dog and made sure he felt loved and relaxed. It was clear that Mandy truly understands dogs and pays attention to their individual needs. We especially appreciated the updates and photos she sent — it gave us peace of mind knowing Phil was in such good hands. When we picked him up, he was calm and happy. We would absolutely trust Mandy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive pet sitter.”
“Valerie and her husband both were wonderful. They clearly had paid attention to specific things our dog liked and had shared comments and photos with us. Great fenced in yard and a nice dog of their own. Very grateful for their care.”
“Bailey was so accommodating to our schedule and willing to take on our three cats (who can be a handful!). She updated us regularly while we were on our trip with updates and photos, we which looked forward to every day!”
“Joey was an amazing dog sitter! Lots of pictures, great communication, and my pups were so happy while they were there. They got to play all day and clearly received lots of love, would definitely recommend!”

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 Plato 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 Plato.
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 Plato 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.
