“Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.”
“We have appreciated Regina’s care. Not only did she assist with a recent cancellation and wave the fee but she took the time to come and visit one of our dogs she has watched, before I took her in to the vet to be put to sleep.”
“We were so happy with how Stacey took care of Louie. He's a rescue and he has a few issues! But she didn't mind it all and really knew how to deal with him. Stacey is awesome with dogs and the best part is that I could tell she loved every minute of having him. They went on long walks together and hung out on the couch and she even let him sleep with her in her bed that had a white bedspread (and he's black!) I think Louie found his second mom which makes me feel so much better about leaving him ? I didn't worry at all.”
“We have an elderly dog who is on multiple medications, and Katie did a wonderful job taking care of her! She was responsive and provided us with pictures and updates through our dog’s stay. I would not hesitate rebooking with her in the future.”
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover, and over the past 5 years I've been dog-sitting for family and friends regularly. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, as well as some experience with rescues and puppies. I love taking dogs on long walks on the trails near my house and cuddling up while reading or watching a movie at home! I am a student taking online classes, so during the work week I am available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks during the day. I work in the evenings on the weekend, so I'm only available for overnight boarding and sitting during the week. I live in a quiet area with my parents, one of whom works from home during the week. Our dog passed a few months ago (she was 15!), so we're missing having a companion at home and have lots of love to give. I'm within a 5 minute walk to multiple parks and trails for walks. There is also a large yard, however it isn't fenced, so leashes are a must!
“What a blessing Trace is! Her place couldn't be better suited for dog care. A huge fenced in yard front pirch & dog run. She also has 4 Basset hounds!! Lily took immediate attention to Teddy. Such a wonderful time she had.She is so kind, knowledgeable and detailed oriented. My 3 mo Great Pyrenees...Lily Lu felt right @ home. Didn't even look back at me to say goodbye! I have her on speed dial and looking forward to many outings to her home for Lily Lu! She's the best!! So is her grandson, Evan!”
“Emily took such good care of our Daisy! We could tell right away, at our meet and greet, how much she loves animals. This was our first time using a Rover sitter, so we were a little unsure of how it would go. Emily put us at ease, by sending us daily updates and photos. She seemed to fit right in to the family routine. We could enjoy our trip, knowing that Daisy was happy, and well cared for! We'll definitely be scheduling with Emily again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kimberly & John! Great communication and we loved all the pictures of Oakley having fun while we were gone. He seemed to fit right in and was so well loved. We'll be booking again!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Vanessa and Andrew’s family. I got a bunch of pictures, great communication and a happy dog when I picked her up. We will be back soon! Thank you!!”
“Jeremiah and family are so caring and loving with our dear dog!! Started with daycare 3 nights and moved on to boarding for 6 nights!! Our doodle was very well loved and taken care of. Highly recommend this family!”
“Valerie communicated clearly and did send updates most days of our dog’s stay with her. There were a lot of people in the house to give our dog attention, which I’m sure she loved. Lucy came home happy and seemed to be well-cared for.”
“Dee Dee (and her family!) take such amazing care of my sweet pup. He’s 15,high anxiety and semi-blind, so he needs particular care and Dee Dee is it! He is comfortable and relaxed which makes leaving him so much easier.”
“Nickolai was a great dog sitter for our very high energy puppy, Woody. we had an initial meet and greet with their dog, Ryder, and they got along great. Nickolai is super chill and gave lots of pictures throughout the stay which was greatly appreciated. very responsive via text and i had absolutely no worries. we had to put woody on a special diet because of his tummy issues and Nickolai was more than happy to provide that extra care for us.”
“Karen is one of the kindest, most caring people I've come across in a long time. After an issue with my previous boarding reservation, I found Karen the night before my trip, and she took both of my dogs with less than 12 hours' notice. While I was away, she sent consistent updates and photos. She spoiled them with long walks, treats, toys, and plenty of cuddles. It was clear she treated them like part of her own family. When I picked them up, they almost seemed sad to leave! They came home more relaxed and happy than I've ever seen them after a trip. I'd give her 6 stars if I could. Highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a kind, loving sitter for their pets.”
“Our dog Sunny was well taken care of at Lori's home! Sunny received lots of love, walks, and cuddles during her time w/ Lori. Sunny will be returning to Lori's home for our next vacation. :)”
“TJ & Jill are super at accommodating us and treating our dog like family! Their 2 dogs are friendly and our dog fit right in to their pack! Thank you for taking care of our girl Ruby!”
“Wesley was fantastic with our dog while for four nights of boarding. He was exceptionally good at communicating, sending updaters with photos, and making us feel at ease even though we hadn’t worked with Wesley before. It was so lovely to pick our pup up from Wesley where he was smiling and clearly well cared for! We will definitely ask Wesley to help again in the future.”
“Cindy and Blaine are wonderful! Brutus felt right at home; so much so, that I didn’t think he would want to come home! Thank you so much for taking good care of Brutus and I didn’t have to worry about anything while I was away.”
“Such wonderful care! Holden had a “homey” time there and transitioned well, both there and back home. So I know he felt comfortable. Appreciate the care and patience you showed:)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shorewood
Anna was incredible! She has such a warm approach, and pays special attention to your pets individual needs. I was nervous because my dog is anxious, and doesn’t adjust well. But upon arrival, my dog was immediately comfortable and continued to be throughout her entire stay. She came back to me better than she was when i dropped her off! She is noticeably calmer, and clearly enjoyed her stay. Anna is an amazing pet sitter, she loves what she does and shows it very well.
Sophia was an amazing pet sitter for our golden retriever!! She gave him so much love and attention and sent lots of adorable photos. It was so clear how happy he was and how much fun he had with Sophia, which made us feel great while we were away. I highly recommend Sophia and look forward to booking with her again! Thank you Sophia!
Piper had an amazing time at Amy’s house and came home nice and tired!! Amy also provided updates daily with cute pictures. Piper was able to play with her dog and young kids and she also had an invisible fence collar that Piper could wear so she wouldn’t run out of the yard. Will be using Amy again!

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 Shorewood 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 Shorewood 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 Shorewood.
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 Shorewood. 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 Shorewood 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.
