“James always loves his stays with Debbie! He’s always so excited when we get there. Debbie sends pictures and having my pup feel safe and happy make my trips a bit easier.”
“I felt Bailey was in great and loving care. Owners dogs were non threatening, passive, playful. Home environment was inviting, family oriented. Fenced in backyard, with full deck. Highly recommended for day care, boarding, etc”


“Kelly was so great with our puppy Luna. We needed care within a short notice for a long weekend and Kelly was perfect. She took Luna to a dog park, took her on walks and spent lots of time with her. She was patient with her new puppy energy and we would definitely use Kelly again. Luna was sad to leave 😊”

“I don’t want to leave this review because then everyone will want to bring their babies to Barb and Steve and their availability will go down, because they are awesome! We have two dogs, they come with lots of meds and instructions. I also have one that temperamental and can snap at people and dogs, in addition, the other one that is struggling with eating and taking pills. They really took care of them like I take care of them. They spoiled them, loved them and took care of them as if they were their own. They worked with all their issues and sent pictures so I could see they’re loved while we’re away. There are no words to express how stress free your trips away from home can feel knowing your babies are getting taken care of properly and loved while you have to be away. Truly amazing people for the babies and what all sitters should be like.”

“Dawn made me feel very comfortable leaving our pup with her for the week. She is very personable and obviously a pet person. She sent photos and communication. I could tell when we picked him up he was happy and not nervous. I feel like he really enjoyed his time with Dawn. We will definitely utilize her as a second family for Paco in the future. thanks Dawn!”

About: I've been a dog and cat owner for over 20 years, so I understand that pets are more than just animals—they're family. I have also fostered multiple dogs over the years, giving me experience welcoming dogs with different personalities, backgrounds, and needs into our home. I currently have one dog and one cat of our own, and know how important it is to find someone you can trust while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys playing outside, going for walks, or simply relaxing and getting attention, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like one of my own. I'm home throughout the day, allowing me to provide hourly potty breaks, regular outdoor time, meals, and plenty of attention. I'm also available to administer medications and accommodate any special care instructions or routines your pet may need. I offer a welcoming, pet-friendly home with a fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play. I also have a kennel available for dogs that are crate-trained or feel more comfortable having their own space. Our household includes one dog and one cat, so it's important that visiting pets can comfortably coexist with other animals. Safety and supervision are always priorities, and I'll follow any specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special care requirements. I also provide regular updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“This was our dog's second stay with Madhu and both times we have been very happy with how he cared for our dog! He sends pictures everyday, with the occasional video. Our dog loves playing with the other dogs and running around Madhu's yard! We were also very appreciative of Madhu's understanding and flexibility with this last pick up time, as we ran into a car repair on our trip home that delayed our arrival time. Overall, we have been very pleased with Madhu and will continue to book him in the future for our dog!”

“So happy that Ruby got to Stay with Camille. She sent lot of pictures and videos of Ruby. Ruby also seems to have enjoyed the stay. Camille and her boyfriend took great care of Ruby. We have booked again with Camille and will definitely book again with Camille whenever needed”

“Mara was great with watching our dog Jax and was even able to take him over the holiday vacation for us. She was communicative, nice and accommodating. Jax had a great time and was well taken care of while we were away!”

“My dogs absolutely love her and Snicker. She has the perfect yard for them to roam around with no tick or flea. Teresa watched them like a hawk making sure they don't eat anything in the yard they're not supposed to. She gives us update throughout the boarding time. She will be my default whenever we need to board our dogs going out of town.”

“Elliott loved his stay with Angie. We got lots of pics and check-ins every day. He always looked happy. I felt confident that he was well cared for and loved. I definitely would have Elliott stay with Angie again.”

“Jessica was great. My dog Goose loved his visit and getting to run around with other dogs. Jessica sent lots of pics and updates which was greatly appreciated. I would definitely use her again.”
“Harkiran did an amazing job watching our black lab, Lloyd! Lloyd has a lot of energy, and he really enjoyed playing ball in the fenced-in yard and making new friends. Harkiran sent lots of pictures and videos. I would definitely recommend!!!”

“Hanna was very kind, and willing to help us at the last minute before the Christmas holiday. My dog Cooper was very nervous, and Hanna did her best to make sure he was comfortable during his short stay. Thank you, Hanna!”


“Lindsay is the ultimate dog sitter! She watched our 2 pups Brody and Maci for 10 whole days while we were out of the country. She texted, sent pictures and videos every single day. She was very prompt to replying to messages as well. It’s such a relief to leave your dogs knowing they are getting the love and attention they deserve while you’re gone. I would recommend Lindsay to anyone who needed her services and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: I have personal experience caring for my own dogs, along with professional experience working at a dog boarding and daycare facility. Through my work, I’ve learned dog behavior, body language, attention needs, medication administration, and how to provide a safe and comfortable environment. I also have experience pet sitting and dog walking for other families, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all kinds and treating every pet with the same attention and care I give my own. I work part-time at a dog boarding and daycare facility a few days a week, so my Rover availability is based around the days I’m free and able to give your pets plenty of time and attention. On my available days, I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, daytime play, and other care services based on your dog’s individual needs. I am flexible and detail oriented that each dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m happy to provide whatever care your dog needs in their home. I have two friendly, laid-back dogs of my own, and my experience working professionally in dog boarding and daycare has helped me develop strong skills in handling dogs safely and understanding their individual needs and behaviors. When caring for your pet, I’m happy to bring toys, treats, and anything else they enjoy, along with providing walks, playtime, or keeping them company. My goal is to create a clean and comfortable environment where your dog feels well cared for.

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Nicole! She went above and beyond to help us out. My dogs are older, one needs eye medication, and one has anxiety and she listened to their needs and tackled them head on! I came home to happy and well taken care of pets. Which we all know isn’t always the case when we leave our fur babies. My animals absolutely loved the attention they received, and I loved getting picture updates!”
“Haiquan and his family were phenomenal with my cat masterchief! They took wonderful care of him and treated him as if he was their own pet. Haiquan was super responsive and would send updates on masterchief regularly. When I went to pick him up to take him home, it seemed like Masterchief didn’t want to leave and bonded with his Rover family! I recommend Haiquan for pet sitting and boarding and if I need to use Rover again, I will definitely be requesting him!”

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 Saint Paul 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 Saint Paul.
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 Saint Paul 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 MO 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.
