“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!”
“Thanks Ali and Walker for taking such good care of Stetson while we were away! I appreciated the update and photos as well. I would definitely recommend for anyone who needs to find dog boarding in the future.”
“Amy was excellent!! She took great photos of my dog and kept me in the loop the entire week I was away on vacation. She is the perfect sitter if your pet loves having friends around!! Thank you Amy!”
“Max seems to have enjoyed his stay Kyle was confident and has plenty of experience. Our lab is still learning to be a good boy and Kyle and Coco we're able to handle him. The fenced yard is nice and backs up to a wetland area.”
“Nickolai was a great dog sitter for our very high energy puppy, Woody. we had an initial meet and greet with their dog, Ryder, and they got along great. Nickolai is super chill and gave lots of pictures throughout the stay which was greatly appreciated. very responsive via text and i had absolutely no worries. we had to put woody on a special diet because of his tummy issues and Nickolai was more than happy to provide that extra care for us.”
“Judy was so sweet with my young 10week puppy. She sent me updates and I was pleased that my puppy was able to take a nap at her house. Look forward to having Judy as our sitter soon.”
“Eddie was treated like a family member at DeeDee’s house. She kept us informed with notes, photos & videos daily. This was our dog’s second stay with Dee Dee. Highly recommend her!”
“Susan and Craig are clearly animal lovers and have a great calm energy around them! We were so fortunate to find them to have our two boys hang out at their place when we went out of town for work - they had a fantastic time!”
“Carine, Eric & Family were absolutely wonderful! They went above and beyond to accommodate our dog’s additional needs (high separation anxiety) and adjusted their schedules to ensure someone would always be with her during the duration of her stay. The kids were so sweet with her and she has the best time playing and then soaking up all of the extra snuggles once she was tired out. We received lots of updates and pictures throughout her stay, which we very much appreciated! I would HIGHLY recommend Carine & Eric and we will absolutely be booking with them again the next time we need someone to care for our dog!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! William took such amazing care of our pup—he slept soundly, got plenty of walks, and was treated like family. William was incredibly thoughtful, even sending him home with a sweet gift bag, a magnet with his picture, and a heartfelt card. We felt so at ease knowing our dog was in such loving and attentive hands. Highly recommend William to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like their own. Thank you so much!”
“Tanya is the best ! Our golden doodle ,Boomer was with Tanya for a month when we went out of country . Boomer gets anxious when we are not around . She took good care of him and he was very happy with Tanya . Pictures were shared everyday and Boomer was super clean when we picked him up . Very happy and will use her service again”
“Emily took such good care of our Daisy! We could tell right away, at our meet and greet, how much she loves animals. This was our first time using a Rover sitter, so we were a little unsure of how it would go. Emily put us at ease, by sending us daily updates and photos. She seemed to fit right in to the family routine. We could enjoy our trip, knowing that Daisy was happy, and well cared for! We'll definitely be scheduling with Emily again!”
“Used Kathryn for a two week trip on a 6 year old doggie. The dog had plenty of room to run, was well taken care of. Would 100% use her again for my future trips !”
“Maria is awesome! She made it very easy for me to leave my dogs while on vacation for the first time. Maria is definitely a dog whisperer and knows what she is doing. She had over 5 dogs in her care when I picked up my pups and pick up was very organized with all dogs listening to her and calm. I will definitely be using Maria in the future to watch my dogs.”
“Awesome experience with Brit and Matt. Thank you so much for letting Monroe take care of you for a weekend. I can tell she had a great time because she is exhausted.”
“Awesome dog caretaker. Frequent pictures and updates of the dogs throughout their time away from us! I’ll definitely return when we need someone to watch the dogs again. Thanks again, greatly appreciated!”

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
