“We could not have asked for a better first experience finding care for our dog . Rebekah and her husband were so personable and seemed genuinely excited and happy to host our Nelly. Rebekah sent updates throughout the stay along with pictures . We will definitely hire her again ! Thank you for taking such good care of our furry family member!”
“She was a perfect match for the dogs. Needed someone to watch our dogs and she accepted. One of my dogs had a bad night with thunder storms, she was there to help my dog stay calm. Will definitely have her dog sit for me again! Thank you”
“Our Boon loved being at Talisha’s, especially with his buddy Jack! Finally a dog his size to play with. I can already tell he misses him. Open communication and pictures from Talisha was the best. We love seeing Boon having fun! The Rae-Pederson Family”
“Marie and Mark were absolutely fantastic! They took amazing care of our dogs Jersey and Odin, while we were away, sending regular updates and adorable photos that put our minds at ease. It's clear they genuinely love animals and treated our pups like one of their own. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and will definitely be using their services again!”
“Alex was great with my nervous guy. We’ve boarded him in the past and he always seemed to be anxious and have trouble eating. He settled in quickly with Alex. I think being in a home environment was more like his everyday routine.”
“We had an amazing experience with Tammy and her husband! We went away for a week and a half and felt completely at ease knowing Lars was in such loving hands. The moment we pulled up to Tammy’s house, Lars leapt out of the car and ran straight to the door - clearly remembering the basket of toys waiting for him. Tammy was wonderful about communicating, sending plenty of pictures and updates that made us smile and truly relax while we were away. When we picked Lars up, it was obvious he had a fantastic time - he was happy, comfortable, and clearly adored by Tammy and her husband. We are so grateful for the care and love they gave him and will absolutely be repeat customers. Thank you so much, Tammy! Because of you, we were able to fully enjoy our getaway knowing Lars was happy and so well loved.”
“We were so pleased with how well our dogs were treated and the updates we received. You can definitely tell Princesa and Bradley love dogs, are compassionate, and truly want to provide a loving place for pets. Their land and house is perfect. We can't wait to use them again!”
“Bandy and Chad have been fabulous with our dog Patty. She can be a nervous little dog when she's out of her normal environment and they've been so patient and loving to make her feel so at home. We are so relieved and thankful that we've found such reliable sitters with Brandy and Chad. Patty will definitely be going back and we know she'll look forward to it!”
“Alisha and Cameron took such great care of our dog Bear! He was so happy at their house. They provided lots of updates and pictures. I know he got lots of love. They have been our favorite Rover family to date!”
“This is the first time I left Frankie anywhere and Anna did a great job of slowly introducing him to other dogs and her family. I could tell through the daily photos and updates that Frankie was in good hands and that they actually enjoyed having him there.”
“This is our pups home away from home! We feel so comfortable sending our fur babies because we know they will be well loved and cared for! We get frequent updates and photos. Highly recommend this lovely couple for your sitting needs! 🐶😊”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Linzy & her family! Sadie absolutely loved them and came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. 🐾❤️ If your dog loves kids, this is a fantastic option! They were so sweet with her, and it was obvious she had a great time being part of their family for a bit. We felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such a loving home. We would absolutely recommend and would happily book with them again!”
“Brenda & Alvin M. were great. We have always boarded Remy in the past but she seems to get very stressed. She likes a lot of attention and cuddles. We appreciated the pictures and updates daily. Remy seemed very comfortable with them. We would definitely use them again.”
“Patti and Patrick did a great job with our dog! Very communicative up front and gave us lots of updates. Liza enjoyed her stay and we would definitely recommend them for the future!”
“Used Kathryn for a two week trip on a 6 year old doggie. The dog had plenty of room to run, was well taken care of. Would 100% use her again for my future trips !”
“Christina & Jeremy took good care of our Toy poodle (Ruffy)! They sent pictures and updates while we were on vacation. Ruffy had lots of fun and was ready for a knap when he got home:-)”

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 Stanley 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 Stanley.
<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 Stanley 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.
