“Sierra, Will, and Karma were great hosts for my senior dog! They provided great care for him while we were out of town for a five-day trip. The updates and pictures were lovely. We'll absolutely book again.”

“Our 2 dogs stayed with Lauren for 6 nights and were very well taken care of. Lauren is prompt to respond and answer any questions, and is very nice and welcoming as well. Our dogs seemed to feel at home right away. Lauren's own dogs are also very sociable and friendly, so we were not at all hesitant to leave ours in her care. Great place!”
“Jenny and Mark were fantastic with Obi and our first time using Rover. They made me feel 100% comfortable with leaving Obi with them for the first time ever, and communication was open and reassuring. I received several updates while on our trip and found Obi very happy and comfortable staying with them. Will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future!”
“Stan was such a wonderful dog-sitter for our Bernese Mountain Dog, Flora! He was thoughtful and conscientious, meeting with us beforehand and running through a list of questions about her specific needs and habits. Throughout our trip, he sent updates with photos that showed our dog living her best life. Flora got along so well with his two dogs and they all three took idyllic snowy walks together and enjoyed playing together in Stan’s gorgeously wooded yard. We feel lucky to have met Stan and found a new home away from home for Flora. We had such peace of mind white we were away out of the country. Flora was in great and loving hands.”
“Ali was great and communicated to us throughout our trip perfectly. She was very flexible, and Piper seemed to have a great time with her and her family! Would love to go back there again next time”
“We had a great experience boarding with Susie! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. In fact, after seeing the photos and getting reports, we were worried our dog may not want to come home with us! Thank you!”
“Connie took great care of our dog Michael for an overnight stay at her house. Michael is timid and takes time to warm up to strangers but Connie’s friendly and patient personality put him at ease in no time. She kept us in the loop with photos and even gave him a bath, groomed him, and sent him home knowing a new trick. We’ll happily be booking with her again in the future!”

Jeff and Sherry take such great care of my dog and cat. I love the updates and how they take my pup for walks and play ball with her. They only take one family's pets at a time which is fantastic. All their attention is on taking great care of my fur babies. Thanks so much!
Yuna looks so happy! We couldn’t be happier with the care Nikki provided for our dog over the weekend! She stayed with them from Saturday through Monday, and I loved getting regular photo and video updates. It was so reassuring to see her playing happily with the other dogs in the pack—she clearly had the absolute best time socializing and burning off energy. I picked up a very happy, well-cared-for (and wonderfully tuckered out!) pup. Highly recommend Nikki to anyone looking for a loving, attentive, and fun environment for their dog!
Margaret is a great dog sitter. We appreciate her abilities and her knowledge of caring for dogs who are out of their normal home environment. She has a great fenced in yard too, which was a plus as our dog is use to a having a fenced in yard at home. She communicated well, sent some pictures. Ryder was content there and well cared for which put our minds at ease. Thank you Margaret! We would not hesitate to board Ryder with Margaret again in the future.
So grateful we found Eryn! She is not a typical dog sitter. She both loves and understands high energy dogs on a professional level. Our exuberant, mouthy young lab had a wonderful time. It provides so much peace of mind on vacation knowing our dog is enjoying herself as much (maybe more) than we are.

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in White Bear Lake can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 White Bear Lake 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 White Bear Lake.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in White Bear Lake. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your White Bear 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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
