“Frank, Clarissa and their family took wonderful care of our dog, Bentley. He warmed up to them almost immediately during a short meet & greet, and from the the pictures during his stay, it was clear that he felt at home and was getting a lot of attention, play time & love during his stay. They’re also great communicators - they checked in with us, sent regular updates and responded quickly.”
“Carine and Eric took excellent care of my older Boston terrier. They kept me up to date on his activities and provided photos while we were away. I felt comfortable knowing he was in caring and capable hands. Will gladly book with them again for future care!”
“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”
“Having a meet and greet with this family pre-vacation helped both of us know it was a good fit. We are so grateful our pup got time and attention from this family while we were away! We loved getting photos and updates daily and would recommend them to others :)”
“Our aged Pixie requires several medications and special attention. Stacey loved Pixie up while we were away. Pixie was very comfortable and well cared for. We look forward to another stay.”
“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.”
“Valerie was amazing! She is so kind and sent us many updates. It was so reassuring since this was our first time using Rover. Our dog had such a great time and we will definitely book again in the future!”
“Jana provided a loving and caring home for my dog while I was away. I appreciated her updates and photos. It was great for my dog to have so much affection and attention, not to mention a large fenced in yard to run around in. I highly recommend Jana!”
“This was our second time using Katie’s services and we were very satisfied with her care. She was flexible with a few last minute changes we needed to make, she sent regular photos coupled with brief updates on how she and Toby were doing while we were away, and was professional in her communication. We highly recommend her and will be reaching out to her again when we need care for our little Boston Toby. Excellent service!”
“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.”
“Bailee is great! She watched our girl Rosie for 3 days, and even did pick up/drop off. We received frequent updates and photos of Rosie hanging out with Bailee and her dog, who had a similar temperament. We will be requesting her again!”
“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.”
“Absolutely Amazing! I couldn’t feel more comfortable with this sitter. I needed to do some tasks, they got done perfectly. The pictures that this sitter continuously sends keeps me unworried to give my dog to them whenever I need to do so!”
“Jessica and family took great care of our fur babies. She sent pictures so I could have a peak in what they were doing. When dogs come home tired I know they had a good time and were taken care of. Such a wonderful setting with a family to be with.”
“Cherie is so good I wish we could clone her. I hesitate to say this, if word gets she will get filled up and we won't be able to book. (haha, but sort of true). Sunny starts wagging her tail and jumping around in the car when we get block from her place. So grateful, we usually worry when we leave Sunny but not when we have Cherie and her sweet family there. A big tail wagging thank you! Kate and Phil”
“We really appreciated the kindness and care Sue showed towards our Dexter. The daily photos and communication was great. We'd definitely bring Dexter back if the need ever arises.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tonka Bay
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!

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 Tonka Bay 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 Tonka Bay.
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.
You and your Tonka Bay 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.
