“My pup loves Cynthia and her place! Lots of dogs to socialize with, tons of exercise in the big and fenced backyard, plus abundant love and care is given to all the 4-legged friends. Just between you and me, I think my pup would rather live there than go home with me! A good problem to have 😁 Can’t recommend enough!”

“Allison and her family were amazing!!! Updates and pics were sent daily during the stay. When I picked my dog up she had the biggest smile on her face. Will definitely be rebooking!”

“Cheyann is awesome! Our 2 dogs Tucker & Roxy (one medium & energetic / one small & shy) love staying with Cheyann. She accommodates them both. We never worry for a second and know that they are in wonderful hands getting great care. Highly recommend!”


“Jasper just spent a week with Cindy and the rest of the pack. She sent cute pics all week to show he was doing well with the other dogs. I’ve never been away from him for this long….but never worried that he wasn’t being taken care of well. ❤️”

“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”

“Stacy was fantastic! She watched my cat for four days and did an amazing job. She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of everything. I highly recommend her and will definitely look to book her again!”

“Whitney did great with Cisco. I received pictures 3 out of the 4 days he was there and that was over a holiday weekend. I was pleased with all communications and response times. We will definitely use Whitney again in the future!”

“Tom was great and our Golden Retriever received the attention he needed while we were out of town for a week! He went over and beyond by remaining flexible when our flight was delayed and the pictures we received while out of town were amazing! Highly recommend. Thanks Tom!”

“Alisha took great care of Cooper and Collins over the last week! The dogs got a lot of time at the local dog park and had some down time too (hanging out at home with her sweet dog). They got some extra treats and chews. Alisha sent pics of the dogs throughout the week, and they always looked so happy! It definitely makes a difference when you know your dogs are well taken care of…I think they had just as much fun on their “vacation” as we did on ours! I would rebook with Alisha without reservation for future care needs! She was also located in a great spot for us (could drop them off easily on our way to the cities/up north).”

“Alex was incredible with my two dogs! They have different needs and she managed them with ease. I felt super comfortable with her care, especially since I was without any service or ability to contact her while my dogs were at her home. Neither dog wanted to leave her place! I highly recommend calling Alex to care for your dogs!”

About: I have 5+ years of pet care. I foster and currently volunteer with local humane societies. I can provide walks, daycare and boarding for up to two weeks! I have experience with extra small to XL dogs, young and elder cats and reptiles. I’m available 7 days a week 6AM to 8PM. I’m fairly flexible and can work around your schedule, just send me a message and we can work something out. I have a huge fenced in yard and a dog of my own. I have a spare flex room I use for kenneling and overnight boarding.

“Sarah is AMAZING! She took great care of our dog Dora, very communicative and flexible. She sent pictures every day with an update. Dora was so well treated with a lot of love, she felt very comfortable. I'll definitely recommend Sara and she will be our number 1 option for next time. Big thank you!! ?”

“Andrea and her family were great! We met beforehand and to confirm my dog would do well with her dog and children. Then during my trip she sent me multiple pictures and videos, asked questions about behaviors she noticed to see if I was aware, and clearly paid close attention to my dog as if he was one of her own. Will definitely use again!”

“Kelsie is the best there is! She took excellent care of my two shaggy Shih Tzu for a long weekend. She also made a trip over to my house to check in on my cat, who had to stay home. I would greatly recommend Kelsie for your pets care. She is trustworthy, responsible and conscientious.”

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 Ruskin 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 Ruskin.
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 Ruskin 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.
