“Charlie loved spending the day with Drew and his family! You can tell they are a dog loving family! Charlie loved lap time and interacting with Drew’s family. We’re heading back for a weekend stay soon.”
“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”
“Katelynn was our first River experience and WOW- she went above and beyond to make our pups feel calm and welcome while we were gone. She had creative ways to help them stay entertained and soothed, walked them regularly, and sent lots of photos-which was amazing! I highly, highly recommend Katelynn, we are so grateful.”
“Mathew and Angela are amazing. They provide constant updates and keep Jake safe. Jake loves to spend time with them. I would definitely keep using their services and would recommend.”
“Charity made our pup feel like he was right at home and part of the family. Communication was great. Will definitely be reaching out to her when we have another trip out of town.”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with them! They send photos, gave my dog medicine, and provided me with updates. My dog came home so tired! I will definitely be rebooking with them.”
“Holly and Jeremy and family were great! My two dogs were treated like family. I loved getting pictures of them with the kids and family. I didn’t have to worry about them and that means so much. Thank you!”
About: I have owned dogs for over 50 yrs and love working w them and creating a safe space for them to explore. Welcome to my home! I currently work part time as a nurse and will have lots of time to spend supervising your furbabies in my yard. I will treat them as if they are my own and keep them safe. I have a large fenced in yard and doggy door to lead into it. I have a little friendly dog that loves other dogs and be happy to play. I have plenty of time to supervise your pups and exercise them in a fenced in space.
“Diana scheduled a meet and greet before watching our dog, and she was so warm and welcoming. I could see her love for dogs immediately. She sent updates with photos and Daisy seemed right at home and well taken care of. So happy to find someone trustworthy and caring to watch our dog while we’re away!”
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of dogs and cat my whole life. I currently have 1 cat and 2 small dogs in my house who get along and also have their own space when needed! I do work during the day but I’m usually available before/after and on weekends. My mom does live with me and she works from home so she is able to help out during the day with bathroom times. I’m willing to host animals overnight if they seem like a good fit! My dogs have always used an invisible fence but any visiting dogs will be on a leash unless told otherwise. Dogs typically get 5+ bathroom breaks a day and are encouraged to go outside for a good 10 minutes each time. Pets are allowed on the furniture and bed, because they’re considered family. Cats are typically left in the (finished/liveable) basement separate from the dogs, unless the cat wants to venture upstairs then be my guest.
“We are beyond happy with Stevie’s stay. It felt like we were leaving her with family, not just boarding her at a strangers house. She was spoiled and loved on and it showed through the pictures that we got while away!”
About: I currently signed up with Rover.com and want to make my home open to caring for your "fur babies" while you are out on a business trip or having a fun vacation and not have to worry about your "fur baby". I have two dogs of my own, both males, one is purebred german shepherd and the other is our rescue who's shepherd/lab mix. We also have our almost 13 yo cat at home and two busy "human" boys (ages 4 & 1). I work part time in Rochester but live in Zumbrota, MN; my husband works full time in Red Wing. Hope to hear from you soon and can't wait to meet your "fur babies"! I've always been a avid animal lover but had an intense love for dogs of any size. Currently own two 85+ German shepherd (purebred) and a German Shepherd/lab--have trained them both and also trained my families' golden retriever who just recently passed away. We also have a male cat and two Guinea pigs. I've trained dogs, watched family and friend dogs, used to even run with our family golden retriever when she was still with us. I got her trained also almost to be a therapy dog, but then she got sick and passed away. I'm very comfortable with any breed of dog, big or small. I am willing to come to your house to let the dog (s) out multiple times a day if needed or even just a one time thing occasionally if needed. I'm very flexible. I will though occasionally bring my two young boys with, so would prefer kid friendly pets. I'm also available for checking on any cats you have as well, I own a cat of my own. I do work part-time in the evenings as well at my job in Rochester so it'd be worked around that.

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 South Troy 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 South Troy.
<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 South Troy 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.
