“Thank you Kristen and Nels and family for taking great care of Pearl! Great communication and updates throughout her stay. I look forward to having her in their care when future trips or stays come up. Thanks again!”
“Jana was so great with our energetic viszla, we appreciate how our dog was able to play and run outside within the fence and with her dog. Jana was so helpful to say yes to our last minute request so we could attend a funeral-thank you!! Highly recommend :)”
“Emily was absolutely amazing with our dog, Roxie! She was very upfront in warning us that her dog, Elliot, can come on a little strong at first (which he definitely did lol) but he and Roxie became best friends almost immediately after. Emily sent tons of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which made us feel so comfortable knowing Roxie was happy and having fun. It was obvious from every update how much Roxie loved her. We would absolutely trust Emily with Roxie again and highly recommend her!”
“Wesley was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Frankie. From the moment I dropped him off, it was evident that Frankie was treated like family and genuinely well cared for. Wesley and his parents have a beautiful home with a secure, fenced-in yard, which made us feel incredibly comfortable. We were able to travel out of the country with complete peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and truly prioritized. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Wesley to anyone looking for exceptional care. I received photos and updates. We look forward to planning our next adventure and rebooking with Wesley!”
“Kelly and Zac were AMAZING hosts to our pup Kona. We’ve only ever had family watch our Kona, so we were a little nervous to try something new. We had nothing to fear. Kelly and Zach made Kona feel right at home. They sent daily updates, took her on walks, and gave her all the love! Highly recommend :)”
“Dezi loves Colleen and Joe and Nico. He ran to Colleen when we arrived to drop him off and was immediately right at home. They send us pictures and updates and take the best care of him.”
“Betsy is honestly the only person I trust to watch my Miniature Dachshund! She has experience with a wide variety of dog breeds. She will send daily updates & photos, which gives me sense of ease while I'm away. On our most recent trip, our flight kept getting delayed, so I was stressing out since we were getting into town much later than expected. She told us not to worry & had our dog all ready to go when we got back! :) Would highly suggest booking with her!”
“Peg and Greg were exactly what my anxious, shy, and stubborn girl needed. Given her trauma history it was important to find folks that would honor and respect my dog, Ruth's, boundaries and needs. Peg and Greg did exactly that. They kept me well updated during her stay which is what I needed to ease my stress and worries and it greatly appreciated. Your pup is in good hands at P & G's home.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Tracy. I was genuinely so nervous boarding my dogs for the first time, and from the very beginning she made me feel completely at ease. She was warm, patient, reassuring, and so communicative the entire time. What really stood out to me is how naturally comfortable my dogs were with her. You can tell she truly understands animals and cares about them like they’re her own. She sent updates and photos, answered my anxious first-time-boarder questions with so much kindness, and made the whole experience feel safe and personal. Finding someone you can actually trust with your dogs is huge, and Tracy is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Dayjah was great. We had booked with a different Rover originally for the Thanksgiving weekend. Unfortunately, they were unable to dogsit for use at the last minute. Dayjah came to the rescue. She was very communicative, and sent daily updates and lots of pictures. Her home was perfect for Koda, with a big fenced yard for him to explore. Thanks again!”
“Amy is great to work with. Our dogs loved it. They came home very exhausted that is great for us. Amy communicates with you quickly and sends daily pictures. She has a fenced in yard that helps and assists with dogs running about for exercise. I would highly recommend Amy to help you with your fur babies.”
“Joey went above and beyond caring for our dog. We booked last minute for a 3 week trip. She was a new sitter for to us and we were apprehensive. She took great care of our dog. Even feeding him by hand to get him to eat. Communication was excellent.”
“Jeff was a great dog watcher, communicator and helpful on staying in touch during my trip. I’d highly recommend his services for anyone that wants a trusted source.”
“Thank you for not only providing a warm, secure, comfortable, happy place for Duck to stay while we were out of town, but also for your kind patience in dealing with some of Duck's extra energy. We are grateful for your willingness to take him under your roof this past weekend. We can tell he thoroughly enjoyed being with you, Sophie, and the other pup because he's pretty exhausted today. Duck would love to visit again in the future.”
“Jessica and Grant were fantastic! Kirby had a great time with them and their dog, Cooper. Communication was excellent and we never once worried about Kirby. We will definitely rebook.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shakopee
Stephanie is wonderful! I really appreciated her communication skills—she was always quick to reply and kept us updated. It was clear that our dog had a great time staying at her house for 7 nights. She even came home brushed better than how I sent her, which is saying a lot considering our dog has a thick, curly coat! The pickup and drop-off went smoothly, and Stephanie was so thoughtful about letting us come over a few times before our trip so Khola could get familiar with her home. That really helped us feel comfortable leaving her. We will definitely reach out to Stephanie again the next time we need an amazing, compassionate pet sitter. We highly recommend her!
Chrissy was a great sitter for our cat, Nacho. He gets very stressed when we have to board him and this was the first time he stayed with a sitter. He came home and was his usual self... and I actually think he misses her. :) She also sent us a picture of him everyday to reassure us he was doing great. Thank you for keeping him happy and safe!
Jenn is amazing! She was there when another Rover sitter canceled on us a week before we were scheduled to go on vacation. She communicates extremely well and sent us a couple of photos while we were away. Thank you Jenn! We greatly appreciate your caring for our dog! <3
As always, Sarah is the best. She has love our dogs like they were her own. She sends frequent updates and photos to let us know how our girl is doing. She was wonderful in introducing Woody to our Sweet P and I had every confidence that Sarah was the right one to help socialize our puppy. Sarah is calm and knowledgeable and she is our #1 for our Twin Cities sitting needs!!
Another five star review for Jess! She took such great care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. Our dog always has the best time with Jess and her sweet puppy, Penny. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in a loving home where she’s happy, comfortable, and well cared for. And we really appreciate the updates Jess provides throughout the stay. Highly recommend!

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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
