“This is the second time Moby has stayed with Cassidy, and it is so reassuring to know that he is so comfortable with her family. They are great with my sometimes dramatic dog, and are great with communication.”
“Tom took great care of our boy. He looked very happy in the photos Tom sent. Tom took the time at our "meet and greet" prior to Solo's stay to get information about his daily schedule, behavior and known commands, and his untiring love of playing fetch.”
“Great experience, took amazing care of my dog, and responded quickly. Also sent me pics throughout the day and my boy looked so happy. Also super convenient if you’re in the U of M area!”
“We absolutely loved having Darcie and her family watch Oliver! We got updates every day with several pictures or even a video, which made being away from him so much easier. It was clear from the moment we dropped him off that Oliver was being treated like part of the family, and he came home happy and well-loved. We are honestly obsessed with Darcie and her family and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be using Darcie again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love their dog like their own!”
“Anna took excellent care of Casey for an extended stay. Our dog is nervous in new settings and Anna knew exactly how to make her feel comfortable and ease her into her new surroundings.”
“Jessica and Grant took wonderful care of our golden retriever while we were away. They sent frequent updates and photos and gave her lots of exercise. She was happy and healthy when we picked her up. We would gladly use them again.”
“Emily was the best! She took such good care of Nala. She even sent us daily pictures and updates. It was such a good experience for our first time having to leave our pup. We will definitely be going back to Emily for any future trips!”
“Clyde loved staying with Deneen. He ate well (which he doesn't usually do at someone else's house), got lots of attention and exercise, and seemed very happy! Thanks, Deneen!”
“Our pup made herself right at home and was well cared for by Joayne and her kiddos. Easy to communicate with her and convenient pick up on the home from the airport. I would be happy to have our pup stay here again!”
“River has looked after my 100+ pound lab/husky mix (Miko) 5 times now. It took me 3 separate Rover stays to find the right sitter near the airport before River. I fly out of MSP at least once every 6-8 weeks and she is always flexible with the drop-off and pick-up times, as flights are often delayed. Miko makes new friends while he's there and I enjoy the video and photo updates throughout the trips. Thanks River!”
“I’ve never left my Smudge before. Kaitlyn you are a God send! Thank you for the videos to reassure me that he was happy. He obviously loves you! I will only call you for my baby! Highly recommend you for anyone that is nervous about leaving their pet!! ❤️”
“Lauren watched our dog Louie while we were on vacation for 8 days. It was our first extended time away from him so we were a bit nervous. Lauren did a fantastic job keeping us updated, sending daily messages and photos. When we returned it was clear that Louie was well taken care of. He was happy and healthy. We cannot recommend Lauren enough.”
“Emily and Tim were great to leave Lenni with! They were very communicative and sent great updates. Lenni came back happy and wiped out after playing all week with the family and dog. It was great knowing Lenni was able to run around all week in a fenced in yard. I'd definitely reach out to them in the future for similar requests!”
“Theresa was an excellent caretaker of our senior Yorkshire terrier. She took the time to understand the uniqueness of our aging dog and was very empathetic. Because she listened so well to our concerns, I felt great leaving him for the weekend and he had a great time. She’s responsive and transparent in communication. Her family is the sweetest, and I promise your pup will get lots of snuggles in their stay with Theresa with all the attention!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! I treat my dog as my child and he loves playmates. I have been a foster with Cocos Heart Dog Rescue for over four years, where I have provided a home for shy, breeder release dogs, and within days, we have become best friends. I am a go to for watching my friends and neighbors dogs. I love everything from play time with young puppies, and the sweet cuddles with senior dogs. I work fully remote, so pets get frequent attention, play time, and walks. My dog gets fed once in the morning and one at night, but I am flexible with feeding schedules and keep dogs separate during feeding time. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I strive to create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where every dog can feel at home. I understand that being in a new space can feel overwhelming, so I always give new dogs plenty of time to sniff, explore, and get comfortable at their own pace without feeling rushed. I have a friendly, confident dog of my own, and I take introductions seriously. When a new dog arrives, I keep my dog in a separate area so the new pup can explore and settle in independently before they meet. I believe in slow, supervised introductions and always pay attention to each dog’s body language and comfort level. I also take precautions to keep my home pet-friendly, prevent access to potential hazards, and ensure dogs have their own space to relax. I want every pup in my care to feel safe, loved, and right at home, with plenty of attention, patience, and affection.
“Both Jennifer and Jeremiah were super kind to Chotu. He was well taken care of and got lots of love from the sitters. We will definitely repeat them in the future. Got continuous photo updates too!!”
“Linda and Russell were great as this was Teddie’s first stay. We were finished early so he didn’t stay overnight but he could have because he was just fine! We were very pleased!”

Dana and her family took great care of Finley while we were out of town for several days. She had great communication and shared pics while we were gone. Finley even got a bath, nail trim and cute bandana from them. She came home soft and well groomed. And they were very flexible with our early morning pickup after our flight which was much appreciated! Would definitely recommend and trust them with her care again!
Debbie and Mike were very kind and respectful. They treated my pup as if she were family giving her lots of love and attention. They sent me pictures of how much fun and enjoyment Ruby was having with them while she stayed with his and her family. 10/10 would recommend and would let my pup stay with them again. :)
This was our dog’s third stay with Gabbi, and it was wonderful. Marty ran up to her door as we approached her house and clearly was excited to see her and be in her home. Gabbi sent us photos and was an excellent communicator throughout his stay. It’s a gift to have a trusted person to care for Marty when we’re away!
We found Simon at the last minute when another sitter cancelled on us. I have a three month old puppy and was so hesitant to leave him but Simon sent pics and videos everyday several times and that really eased my mind. We saw that our puppy was playing with another puppy and having a great time. I will for sure be booking with Simon again. He lives what he does and it shows.

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 .
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.

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.
