“Patrick and Patti take such good care of our pup and love him like he's their own! We love that Patti sends daily updates and pics. It's comforting to know that our little Atom is being taken care of by such great people while we are away!”
“We were really pleased with Nancy and Jeremy. They were so attentive to our golden retriever; feeding her treats and even brushing her! We had regular updates and pictures so we could enjoy our vacation and know our dog was doing well. We highly recommend!”
“Our dog had a great time with Luke and Rachel. This was our first time leaving him with anyone but family and they made us feel he was safe and well cared for. We loved seeing photos of what he was up to and hearing that he had a good weekend. We are excited to have him stay again in the future!!”
“Miranda was great with our dog, Jax. He can be shy at first, but he warmed up to her quickly. She provided plenty of pictures throughout his stay as well. I would use her again!”
“LAN was great with my young Labradoodle. He stayed with her for two weeks while I was out of the country. She put my mind at ease by sharing pictures and videos of him playing with her dog Lucy. He seemed very comfortable and well cared for with her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“I couldn’t be happier about finding Shevon & Ian - they are a perfect fit for Loki. Very caring, very attentive and understanding of a young but very large dog’s needs (and quirks!) They have a wonderful house with a huge fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood, and their daughter and dog Warren are equally awesome. Shevon even went out of her way between visits to help us find a new vet when Loki was struggling with a severe case of pneumonia. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“Anna was wonderful! My dogs were happy to stay and play when I dropped them off. I received daily pictures, and they were happy when I picked them up. We will be using her again soon.”
“Brock and Laura (and their kiddos) took great care of Theo! Great communication and frequent updates. They kept Theo very busy with lots of walking and playing. He was happy and tired when he got home! You can be assured your pup will be in great hands with Brock and Laura!”
“Davis and Emma have watched our dog Teddy twice and were amazing both times. When coming back for our second booking, Teddy ran right up to their door - a sign that he would love to go back!”
About: Dogs hold a very special place in my heart, and your pup’s happiness, health, and comfort will always be my priority. I recently said goodbye to my sweet dog after 12 wonderful years together. She was happiest as an only dog, so while she was with me, I honored her needs by keeping our home just for her. Now, I’m ready to share that love and attention with other dogs. I know firsthand how nerve-racking it can be to leave your dog in someone else’s care. That’s why I’ll be especially attentive to keeping you updated with photos and messages, so you can feel reassured that your pup is comfortable, cared for, and having a wonderful time. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, or simply a little company and a cozy place to rest, I’ll take the time to learn their routine and what makes them happy. My goal is to give your dog loving care and give you peace of mind while you’re away. Since I’m home full-time, your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate their usual feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, and rest. Whether they enjoy being close by or prefer a quiet spot to themselves, I’ll help them settle in and feel comfortable. Caring for your pup will be a natural part of my day, with their happiness and well-being always a priority. A typical day in my home will include plenty of attention, companionship, and time to relax. I’m home and available to give your dog as much care and company as they need, and I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable. With your permission, we can enjoy walks, spend time together in the backyard, or settle in for some quiet company—whatever suits your pup’s personality and energy level. When it’s time to rest, they can choose from several dog beds, or you’re welcome to bring their favorite bed, blanket, or crate so they have something familiar. I understand that dogs can feel nervous when they’re away from their person, so I’ll give them patience, reassurance, and time to settle in. My goal is for your dog to feel happy, safe, and well cared for, and for you to feel comfortable knowing they’re in loving hands.
“Dave was a fantastic sitter, so much so that I decided to keep him as my permanent one after using Rover for 2 years! My cat is very needy and he spent so much time with her, along with getting his whole family involved in her care and consistent updates. Could not rate him more highly!”
“Erin was an amazing pet sitter for our two dogs and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and cared for while we were gone. Our dogs LOVED running around in her big backyard, and getting to make themselves at home on her furniture. Erin's two dogs also got along really well with our dogs. We appreciated getting pictures and videos every day to let us know our girls were doing well. We would definitely use Erin again to watch our doggies!”
“Kari and her family took wonderful care of Gracie. She sent picture updates every day, showing Gracie relaxed and being loved on - especially by their daughter. We will definitely book with Kari in the future.”
“We know our doggy was in great hands. We got lots of updates from Dustin. She went on good walks, played in the yard, and got lots of relaxing in on his couch when she wasn’t patrolling the sidewalk from the window ;-) Everything from first meeting to final pickup was smooth.”
“Tobi had a great time with Brooklyn and her family. He loved their little girl and got along great with their gentle Bernese Mountain Dog. I received updates once or twice a day with cute photos. Brooklyn was accommodating of my request to change the pickup time. We look forward to having Tobi stay with Brooklyn again.”
“This was a last minute sitter since I was trying to get on vacation with my daughter's spring break. I'm glad that I chose Meaghan and that my dog Vienna had a blast!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shoreview
Lorraine is so, so sweet and clearly adores every animal she meets. Our mastiff/newfie mix, Moose, had a wonderful stay with her. She gave him tons of love and kept him active! It meant a lot to us that she was able to understand and keep up with his medications and supplements as well. She kept us very well updated on his days. We will absolutely trust Lorraine with Moose again!
Kelly and Jim took amazing care of my dog while I was out of the country for two weeks! They have a great house/backyard setup + a sweet pup that my dog adored. Kelly and Jim were good with communication and keeping me updated throughout. Will definitely plan to book with them again in the future!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Shoreview can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Shoreview 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 Shoreview.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shoreview. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Shoreview 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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
