“Julie, Ben and family took the best care of our girl Maggie—walks, meds, plenty of outside time. I was able to focus on my work conference without worry. I loved the many photos and updates!”
“Bodi runs to River every time we drop him off and never looks back, he is an anxious dog who loves his people so that is huge for us when taking a vacation. We always get daily updates and will never take our lil guy anywhere else!”
“Our senior dog just came home from her first stay with Charlie. She returned relaxed and happy…And getting reports and photos on how well she was faring throughout her stay made me relaxed and happy. Win, win! Thank you, Charlie!”
“Liss did a great job caring for my dog Ellie. Ellie is a very affectionate dog who loves to be near her caregiver. Liss was very attentive to Ellie and her need to be close. She let Ellie sleep next to her. I appreciated the updates and pictures. Liss has a very calm demeanor and I think that really set a calm tone for my dog. It was my first time leaving Ellie since I got her and I was nervous, but I felt very good about the care Liss provided. I will use her again in the future.”
“Barbara was really sweet with our dog Guapo and kept us up to date, also we had a last minute change in our reservation and she was very accommodating and flexible. We will definitely consider her for future dog care needs :)”
“Leaving Mabel with Brooke for the first time felt so comfortable. She treated Mabel as her own and Mabel was happy to have the company of her dogs. We received updates along her stay and you could always see Mabel looked quite at home. Brooke’s updates let us know Mabel was loved and cared for while we were away. So glad we found Brooke!”
“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“Willa’s second visit with Jennifer. Willa was happy to see Jennifer when she was dropped off. Received updates with photos showing Willa having fun. Obviously well taken care of while visiting with Jennifer!😁”
“Alecia and Todd (and their family) were wonderful with mini-goldendoodle, Ole, for a week+ over the holidays. They took great care of him, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing that Ole would be loved (and be a part of family life) while we were gone.”
“Krista & her boys treated Dorris as their own. It was the first time we boarded our sensitive massive teddy bear & we couldn’t have picked a better family. Krista kept us updated on Dorris’ apprehension & was so patient with her and found ways to get her out of her shell. Her boys are sweethearts & helped ease the transition for Dorris.”
“Steven and Diane took amazing care of our dogs! We were able to drop the dogs off a day early due to our flight being changed and everything went super smooth! They sent us updates and photos through the week as well. We will 100% book again!”
“Willa made lots of friends and seemed to have a great time! McKenzie was easy to communicate with and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with her.”
“Jessica and Grant were fantastic! Kirby had a great time with them and their dog, Cooper. Communication was excellent and we never once worried about Kirby. We will definitely rebook.”
“Eileen was absolutely incredible with Ruckus. She has such a love for dogs and it shows in how well she takes care of your fur baby when you’re away. We received many updates via text and with photos and videos. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and we look forward to booking with her in the future.”
“Katie and her family were amazing with our 8 month old puppy! They were very responsive and went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable with them— from a pre-trip phone call to sending us videos of our pup while we were gone. He came back very happy!!”
“We are so glad to have found Saniya to watch our dog, Blu. She and her family took such good care of him. We received updates and pictures from her regularly. Definitely recommend her.”
“Our pug LOVED his 4-day stay with Brenda and her family! Our little guy got along great with her two pit bulls and really bonded with their little boy. The dogs played and ran together in the fenced in yard. Our pug came home happy and ready to nap. Each day, I received a couple of photos with a brief update which I appreciated. This was a short-notice booking, and I am so grateful that Brenda was available. We will definitely arrange dog-sitting with Brenda in the future.”
“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.”

Tyler did a tremendous job sitting Moose. I got at least a couple pictures per day and I can tell Moose had fun, and was safe. Tyler was so accommodating of my changing schedule, and was prepared at each hand-off. Communication was great overall. Thanks for keeping Moosey safe!
Alison was a lifesaver, when my plans changed and I had to find a sitter on 3 days notice, she was willing and very communicative. My dog was very at ease with her, plenty of exercise and play, and I was happy knowing he was well taken care of. Will use her again in the future.
Julie watched our two small dogs during a long family trip. Because she works from home, she was able to take them outside frequently and spend a lot of time with them throughout the day. She also shared regular photos and updates, which we appreciated. Our dogs enjoyed spending time with Julie and playing with her own small dogs. They settled in well and looked very comfortable in her home. We would hire Julie again and recommend her to others looking for dog care.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Bloomington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Bloomington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bloomington 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 Bloomington.
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 Bloomington 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.
