“Marlo loved her stay! We loved the pictures and how accessible Cynthia was. The property is big and safe. Our little 5 lb Yorkie fit right in with their dogs and cats. We felt very good when leaving our puppy there. Thank you so very much!”
“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!”
“We are so happy to have found Cheyann. She took such great care of Tucker and Roxy. We loved the daily updates and photos. Our dogs were happy to see us, but we could tell that they had a great week. 5 plus stars, highly recommend!”
“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 is a wonderful dog sitter. My dog looked great and like she fit in well. Stacy sent me pictures daily and I felt very comfortable with Chloe staying at her house. Stacy was easy to communicate with and let us visit her home prior to booking. I definitely would like to have her watch my Chloe again!”
“Joie was very helpful and thoughtful throughout the process! The meet and greet beforehand helped ensure our dog was comfortable when we returned for boarding, and we appreciated the progress pictures along the way. Would happily recommend!”
“Palmer was well loved by Nessa & Jose and really enjoyed all the walks, playmates, and attention. He came home exhausted and sad to leave. They sent a ton of pictures and even video each day of his stay. Thanks so much for taking great care of Palmer.”
“Jim and Kim were great!! We felt such a relief to find such a nice place for our dog while we were on vacation. They always responded quickly and communication was great. Will definitely use them again!!”
“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).”
About: I’m a caring person who loves dogs and grew up with a lab. I have experience with taking care of friends puppies and senior dogs. I love to play hard with them so they can sleep good for you! I can walk dogs before I go to work and, take them out immediately when I get back home. I will also make sure they are being fed at the right times. I’m happy to transport pets and have them stay at my apartment for up to a week. I will provide long walks with them on leash and follow procedures at a client’s home. Making sure that the pet is comfortable is a top priority for me.
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.
“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.
