“My older GSD was spooked by local boarding company so this was our first time with Rover. Madison was very responsive and sent text/updates daily on how she was doing and that was appreciated. Ripley had a great time and hoping Madison welcomes her back again when needed.”
“I was very appreciative that Melissa was able to squeeze caring for Mitzi in on such short notice. Melissa sent lots of photos and videos of Mitzi and she looked happy as can be! She definitely enjoyed playing fetch/tug with the twins and certainly appreciated all the treats. ? I would definitely recommend Melissa and her family to care for your pets!”
“Dani and her husband, Roger, were very sweet. Dani was very communicative and easy to coordinate scheduling with. She sent pictures everyday and gave updates. Would schedule again :)”
“This was our first stay with Lea Ann and it could not have been better. Lily seemed to have a great time and was in great spirits when I picked her up. I think she especially liked have a few playmates of her own size to hang out with.”
“Sara was wonderful in the care and communication she had with me during this whole process. First time letting someone watch my dogs and it made me extremely nervous but she made it a very relaxing and comforting knowing my babies were in good hands. I don’t trust many people to look after my two with how they are, but I definitely trust her and will keep using her to watch my dogs in the future!”
“We are so happy to have found TaKaria for help watching our dog. She is so sweet and friendly. She updated me throughout each day with pictures and reassured us that Bear was doing great as this was his first time being left with a sitter. We will absolutely be returning clients and highly recommend her for help with of your fur babies.”
“Nicole and John were incredible with my dog Mae. This was my first time using Rover, and I was hesitant given Mae is 10 years old and is usually watched by family or a family friend when we are out of town. Mae took to them immediately, and Nicole and John provided lots of love and care, checked in, and sent pictures. I had such a peace of mind while I was away. I’m grateful to have found sitters I can rely on for future trips!”
“Maddy was great with Sparky! She took excellent care of him and made us feel comfortable while we were away. She was reliable, responsive, and Sparky seemed very happy with her. We had a great experience and would definitely book with Maddy again. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover and let me just say, Alexus was a phenomenal sitter. She sent us picture and video updates everyday. This helped us not only build trust and confidence in her caring for our babies, but it ultimately helped us relax and have a great trip because we had nothing to worry about. We appreciated that so much and looked forward to the updates, seeing them so happy and content. We were almost afraid that when we came to pick them up they wouldn’t want to come home lol. All in all, this experience exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t be more happy with the way our babies were treated and cared for. 10/10 recommend! :)”
“We left our doodle to Sam for a week. And this was the first time our dog is not with us. Sam was very helpful and answers my questions. She replies and updates us whenever I asked her about our dog.”
“Amalia is outstanding!!! She went above and beyond our expectations, treating our fur babies as her own. I am so thrilled to have found her. Top marks, highly recommended, but don’t infringe on our next appointment!”
“My pup had a wonderful time, Karina sent pictures and kept me updated the whole time! She is so sweet and answered all my questions and worked with me on times beforehand.”
“Krystal was very responsive and communicative while watching Happy and tended to his needs while we were gone . We needed plenty of updates since our dog can be a bit anxious in new environments and she was able to provide that for us. I’ll definitely reach out again the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Shannon was great! Before the stay, we did a meet and greet to be sure my baby would do well at her place. During the stay, I got good communication and updates throughout! My baby had such a good time!!!”
“It was our first time using Rover and only the second time our Hooli had been away from us. The care that Amy and Daniel provided was above and beyond. We didn’t request it, but they took Hooli out on multiple walks a day and they provided daily updates and photos taken throughout each day (7-10 photos/day). Their comprehensive and attentive updates about Hooli’s appetite, activities with their 2 awesome pups, mood (e.g., adjustment to being away from us), and bowel health brought my wife and I joy and comfort knowing Hooli was being taken great care of. With each passing day, her smile got bigger and eyes beamed even more, so we knew she was doing well. By the end of her stay it seemed like she really bonded with them. :) We highly recommend Amy and Daniel as sitters, and they’ll be the first Rover sitters we think of next time Hooli needs a loving home to stay at while we are away. Thank you Amy and Daniel! :)”
“Ashley and her family were a great fit for our Ninjago. I felt comfortable and assured that Ninjago was being cared for and loved. I absolutely recommend Ashley and will be a repeat client from this point forward. Thank you so much for peace of mind Ashley.”
“Emily was wonderful! She took great care of our two pups while we were gone. They came home tired and happy. Emily provided updates including pictures throughout our time away. It is clear that she and her girls are animal lovers. Will use again in the future!”
“Tom and his kids were great with Sugar! Lots of walks, play, consistent with commands, and most importantly lots of love! I received daily updates, pics, videos which was very much appreciated. We will definitely have Sugar stay with them again. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl.”

Ripley and Elle definitely had a blast with Brent & Cela. This was Elle’s first time boarding, and it went great. I’m sure it helped her to have Ripley show her the ropes since Brent & Cela have watched Ripley many times already. We loved getting the many updates and photos every day. It is so nice being able to have such peace of mind while we’re gone because we know our pups are being well cared for! Thanks again, Brent & Cela!
Lea and her family are absolutely amazing. My dog, Kiya, loved her stay, and Lea kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout, which gave me so much peace of mind. Kiya looked so happy in every update, and that really allowed me to relax and fully enjoy my vacation. I will definitely be using them again. It truly feels like a home away from home for Kiya.

I had an amazing experience with Robbin G pet sitter and couldn’t be happier with the care Oreo received. From the very beginning, she was kind, professional, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She kept me updated with regular photos and videos, which meant so much to me and gave me peace of mind knowing Oreo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear that Oreo was treated with love, patience, and genuine affection, just like family. She was also very attentive to Oreo’s needs, communicated promptly, and answered all of my questions. I really appreciated their kindness, flexibility, and the extra effort they put into making sure Oreo was safe and comfortable throughout the stay. I would highly recommend Robbin to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Oreo. I truly appreciate everything you did, and I would absolutely book with you again in the future!
Kyrsten was wonderful! She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our babies and treated them as if they were her own. We came home to happy, well-loved pets, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely trust Kyrsten to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
NATHAN LOVES KRYSTAL!!!! We have booked with her a couple of times so far, and Nathan has a great time every time! We love the photo and video updates we get throughout the day, and we love that she treats Nathan like he's her own. Definitely going to keep coming back
Vanessa and her family were excellent with my dog Pickle. They made him part of their family and updated me often with pictures of him being spoiled with love so much he didn't want to come home with me! I highly recommend Vanessa to watch your pup and we will be calling her again when the need arises.

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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 TX 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.
