“This is the 2nd time with Aish and family for my 7 month old pup. He seems very happy there and well taken care of. I enjoyed receiving the photos and videos throughout his stay. Thank you soo much for taking care of Jasper!”

“Chelsie was great, highly recommend!! She agreed to take my pup on short notice, was so kind and welcoming, and was amazing with my pup!! It was great as she sent daily updates and pictures. I will most definitely use her services again in the future!!”

“Our Pug Montgomery enjoyed another fun stay with Becky and her wonderful family! I was always incredibly nervous leaving my dog when we went away in the past but not with Becky, she truly treats your dog like one of her own! Becky provides updates with pictures and videos and you can see how much her family adores the dogs! Montgomery came home exhausted from all of the playing and looks forward to visiting again!”

“I typically book with a daycare center but due to the amount of time we would be gone, we feared he would suffer from anxiety and loneliness. So we decided to book with a home daycare to ensure he received more personal care. They did an awesome job with Jake. Seemingly, he was treated like their own with lots of cuddle time. They provided daily updates and included cute photos. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely use them again.”

“Elizabeth and her family were great. She made sure to help Diesel get around the house since he is a senior dog and I received plenty of pictures so I could make sure he was settling in ok.”

“Margarita and her family were awesome! Pictures were sent every day of the pups having fun and their property is a great open space for the dogs to relax outside. Will definitely book again!”

“Leo seems to have had a wonderful time. His behavior this evening is as if he just had a normal active day. Clearly he was comfortable enough to have cuddled up next to you. And he always enjoys a good walk.”

“Whitney has cared for our dog on numerous occasions, and we love how great she is with dogs. I completely trust her to look after our dog while we’re on vacation, and she always keeps us updated with pictures.”

“Barb was able to help us out in a pinch with watching our dogs over night. This was our first time using rover and was a little bit hesitant. But after reading the reviews and then meeting Barb, we were sure that our dogs would be well taken care of. Thanks again Barb!”

“I love Julie and Ben!! They really care about Navi as their own family member and I absolutely love them!!! They are super sweet and they updated me with pictures of Navi!!! I have already booked future dates w them!! Thank you guys again for taking care of Navi!!!!”

“Our pups had a great time and were well-taken care of during their 9 night stay. We are so thrilled to have found Denise and Michael to take care of our two little fluffballs! We will definitely book with Denise and Michael again.”

“John and Teri were great to work with. From the first moment we met them we knew that our dog Taz would be well cared for. They sent photos of Taz throughout her stay. Within the first couple of hours of her stay her tooth fell out. We called our vet before our trip and were assured a vet visit could wait. They were calm and handled this so well. Everything worked out and we will definitely call upon John and Teri in the future. Thanks again!”

“Elizabeth and family are always kind and welcoming to our two fur babies. She sends and updates us with the cutest pictures! Always easy to communicate with prompt responses. Bullet and Benji always have fun and definitely enjoys hanging out with their whole family! Highly recommended!”


About: Hi, I am Joie, an experienced and caring pet sitter, dog foster, and owner of Dogwood Bed & Biscuit. I have had furry family members my whole life and have also been a dog foster for over 15 years. I just absolutely love all animals. I strive to provide a safe, fun home for the little dogs under 40 lbs. Ages 12 weeks to senior. I am experienced administering meds. Dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they are most comfortable, and I have more toys than most pet stores, as well as dog beds scattered throughout the house. I also have a dog door to the backyard; dogs are welcome to come and go to enjoy the sun in a safe, fenced-in yard or stay inside snuggled in a cozy bed. I can provide a kennel if the owner prefers. I will accept unneautered/unspayed pups but will not sit more than one at a time. I host meet-and-greets with all new families to ensure I am a good fit for your pup. I do work downtown in the afternoons on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but am home all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. I do not offer house-sitting or drop-ins, but I am available for dog daycare and boarding. I can also possibly provide pickups and drop-offs within a certain radius for an additional fee. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions or concerns... I look forward to meeting you! I currently work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays and can be home all day on weekends. My fiancé, Andrew, is home all day Nov - April, so someone would be available each day to provide care as well.. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 fun, sweet pups that love new company. They can either be chill or playful depending on the circumstances. We also have a dog door for small dogs that want to use the backyard.
“Nicole and David were wonderful with our dog, Luna. They were patient with her timid personality and allowed her to come out of her shell in her own time. They updated me frequently of how Luna was getting along and I appreciated their communication.”

“My pup absolutely loved her time with McKenzie and her brood. I was slightly jealous of how happy she was without me (haha), but it was such a relief to know she was in good hands!”

“We would highly recommend Eileen as a dog watcher/over night visits at her home. This isn’t our first or last time having her watch my little girl while I need led to go out of town. Eileen is thoughtful in pictures and videos and explaining something that happened each day. It is our pleasure to work and know Eileen.”

“John and Gretchen took such good care of our Griffey while we were away for 10 days. They sent lots of pictures and updates - he was so loved and well taken care of. He didn’t want to leave their house! We will definitely be using them again in the future.”

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 Waterford 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 Waterford.
<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 Waterford 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.
