“Five full stars for Nicole and David! Excellent communication before and during my dog's stay. They did a great job keeping me up to date with photos and videos of Cody playing with other dogs and getting scratches. I could tell Cody was very well taken care of while I was gone. I also liked during the meet and greet that they introduced thier dogs one at a time. I will definitely use them again! Thanks Nicole and David!”


“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”

“Steven did an excellent job with my dogs. They were happy and healthy when I picked them up. He was really communicative and I appreciated the updates while I was away.”

“Great experience with Emily and family. We rarely use dog sitters we do not know and I was nervous about how Maisy would do. Emily was a great communicator and very responsive. She kept me updated with pictures and texts. Maisy seemed to have a great time with their sweet dog and lovely family. Huge backyard to play in! Maisy came home happy and tired out! Thank you!”

“Ashley was absolutely wonderful to have take care of my dog. It was an easy stay to manage where she made sure his time was full of loving and walks (including plenty of photos). He was exhausted and happy the day I picked him up; I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for somewhere for their pup to stay and have a great time.”

“Katie took great care of my dog. Her communication with me timely, and she kept me informed during our dogs’ stay with her. I’d be happy to leave my dog with her again.”
“Xan took great care of my 2 1/2 -year old puppy providing lots of cuddles and playtime plus hikes in good weather. Xan paid good attention to my puppy’s eating quirks and medication needs. She communicated just as I requested and sent fun photos. I greatly appreciated Xan’s flexibility when my flight was delayed. Overall, a great experience. I highly recommend Xan.”

“Bennie had a fantastic stay with River! River updated us every day with photos and feedback on how Bennie was doing. River was very easy to communicate with and took excellent care of our dog. I would highly recommend booking with River!”

“Catherine is amazing! She was super responsive & flexible with a last minute change in schedule, administered antibiotics while we were away, and we feel totally comfortable leaving our pup in her care.”


“Both Jennifer and Jeremiah were super kind to Chotu. He was well taken care of and got lots of love from the sitters. We will definitely repeat them in the future. Got continuous photo updates too!!”

“Thank you Jenny and Mark! Our older lab was well taken care of and we appreciated the updates and pictures sent over the weekend. Thanks again!”

“Aish and her family were wonderful. They sent many pictures and videos. My dog, Pepper, seemed to have a good time playing with the other dogs she had there. This was our first time using Rover and we were super nervous about leaving our baby with anyone. I think Pepper misses being over there now playing with the others. Due to the BWCA wildfires we had to end our trip early. Aish made sure to refund the money for the other days right away without me even asking. She responded immediately to all my texts. I would definetly use her to watch my Pepper again.”

“It was our girls first stay with Hollie and Jeff. From the meet n greet to the actual stay, they have been amazing! Asking and answering all of our questions, sending pics and updates, and overall just loving our fur babies. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be back! Thanks for all the loving care during our trip!”

“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”


“Our 10 month old pup stayed with Dawn family and other small size pups over the Christmas. I feel so happy I found Dawn because she is so knowledgeable and care and love for the dogs. She constantly send me update and pics and videos of my dog and answering any questions real fast. This place beats other boarding place ten blocks away! This will be our go to place for sitting when we are out of town in the future”

“Allison and Luis were so wonderful to work with. They kindly took my dog very last minute and were so friendly and flexible. And they sent me so many pictures of my dog having the best time with their friendly dogs. This was a wonderful experience for me and my dog and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Henry hopes to go back and stay with them again soon.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sunfish Lake
Nicole and David love being dog parents. They are experienced and joyful, and welcomed Nala like a family member. I never doubted her happiness with them and their two lovely dogs….there is an enormous fenced backyard for the dogs to romp and race in. I look forward to many more visits in our future. These are true experts. Don’t hesitate!

We’ve used Bethany twice and are very happy with how she handles our Gus. He’s in a great mood when we pick up. Communication during the stay is informative and helps keep our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sitter. Will book her again for our future needs.

Emily, Tim and family did a great job taking care of Nieve. It was a last minute booking and I was really appreciative of them stepping up. Solid communication especially when Nieve wasn’t feeling well and Emily had to provide some extra care. Thank you so much.

Lucy loved her stay. James and Jennifer gave her so much attention, that when it was time to go home, so climbed back in their lap for more attention (petting). When she finally arrived back home, she was so tired that she needed to take a long nap (she usually has lots of energy).
Angela did a great job with Yoda. The thunderstorms and fireworks made him a bit nervous, but Angela handled it well, and he did fine. She was very responsive, kept us updated with pictures, and was quite flexible and went out of her way to accommodate a change in our pickup plans. We would certainly have Yoda stay with her again.

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 Sunfish Lake 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 Sunfish Lake.
<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 Sunfish Lake 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.
