“Caitlin did a beautiful job with Murphy, our rescue boy. He gets nervous when strangers come over so we brought him to her house. She had a nice room for him to relax, a big fenced yard in the country and a calm, positive demeanor. He has not been sat by anyone but family, but we will definitely be taking Murphy to her again. She even gave us fresh-caught Alaskan salmon to bring to our daughter, who had just had a baby. Hoping she becomes a regular part of Murphy's life! We highly recommend her.”

“Christene is a GREAT doggy sitter. It is clear that she really likes dogs and has made her home extremely dog friendly. I was able to leave my dog with her knowing she would be well treated while I was away, which was evidenced by Scruffy being in no hurry to leave when I picked her up. I highly recommend.”

“First time using Rover and Enrique exceeded our expectations! Was so responsive, sent pics, and updates throughout the day. We were so lucky to have found him, and he will be a go to in the future! He watched our very young puppy and gave her the love and attention she needed (especially being so young). Our puppy also made a new bestie with his sweet dog Buttons. Definitely gave us peace of mind knowing our new puppy was with a great family!”

About: Hi there! My name is Chloe, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I work at a veterinary hospital, which has given me valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. I know that pets are family, and I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing outside, getting plenty of cuddles, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they are! I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I’ll do my best to make sure they receive the attention, patience, and care they deserve. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I would love the opportunity to give you peace of mind while treating your furry family members like my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work full time but there is no shortage for of love for your pets! I will work around my work schedule to take care of your fur babies. My hours vary so I am able to make different times work out! I know that leaving your pet can be hard, which is why I want you to feel confident that they’re in good hands. I’d love to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and happiest. From keeping them company to sticking to their daily routines and giving them plenty of affection, I’ll treat your pets like my own!

About: I’ve always had a special love for dogs and have experience caring for Havanese throughout their lives. I raised and trained my first Havanese from 3 months old, and she was a beloved part of my family for 15 wonderful years. After she sadly passed, I knew I couldn’t imagine life without a dog, so I welcomed another Havanese puppy into my family a little over a year ago. I’ve also always enjoyed spending time with my cousins and their dogs. We would get our dogs together regularly so they could play and socialize. My cousins recently welcomed a Goldendoodle into their family, and I’ve loved getting to know her as well. She enjoys long walks, playing fetch, and even dressing up! Through raising and caring for my own dogs and spending time with other dogs, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, affection, exercise, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I currently work a full-time job and typically get off around 3:30 PM, so I’m available most afternoons and evenings during the week. I’m also available throughout the weekends and would love the opportunity to spend that time caring for and keeping your pup company! I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I always make your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness my top priority. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and supervision while respecting your pet’s individual personality and space. I also keep a clean, secure environment and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was 10. I am currently accepting to take of dogs in my home whether they doggy daycare, overnight stay, extended overnights, and dog walking/feeding. I love to give dogs all kinds of cuddles and love. I understand that dogs speak to us though actions in which I am very empathetic with. I will be patient, kind amd caring showing your dog(s) lots of attention and love. I have excellent references. I'm currently working part time, so while I'm gone I can crate your dog but will be back within 4 hours for a potty break! Im available between 5pm- 7pm for drop offs and pick ups Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday from 9am -5pm I have a home where your dog can roam or I can crate them if need be. I will keep them on a leash if when we go outside and I don't live far from a very large dog park where I can take your dog to play catch if you are comfortable with that of course.

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 Santiago 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 Santiago.

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 Santiago 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 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.
