“Nova had another great stay with Julie and Ben. Once again, we received lots of pictures, where it was clear that Nova was content and happy... playing with her toys and with the kids, going on walks and getting snuggles. Nova enjoyed spending lots of time laying in the fenced backyard enjoying some sunshine. Nova's stay was for 9 nights and Julie let me know that they didn't think they had enough food for the last day. My bad. They generously offered to go shop for some more food, which was greatly appreciated.”
“Julie did a great job caring for my dog while we were away for a week. She has a very spacious backyard for dogs to roam and she’s able to give the care and attention your dog needs. I have peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands when she needs boarding 🙂”
“River is an excellent caregiver for our Augie and Edie. She takes good care of them, has a terrific backyard and is an excellent communicator. All around great experience - thank you!”
“Charlie (& Mabel) stepped up last minute when my scheduled Rover sitter had a death in the family. He squeezed in a meet-n-greet, took care to introduce all the dogs and agreed to work with our schedule. Tink had a great time and was a happy, tired pup when we picked him up. The only issue? Tink loved it so much, I think he wants to go back to Charlie's everyday!”
“Barbara took great care of our dog while we were away for a week! Even helped him get through some digestive issues and provided regular updates throughout his stay. We will happily send Louis over again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“I can’t recommend Brooke enough! This was Archie’s first stay with a sitter since our move, and I was honestly so nervous leaving him. From the moment I met her, I knew he was in great hands. She kept me updated throughout his stay, and it was such a relief knowing he was safe, loved, and treated like one of her own. Archie settled in so well, ate all of his meals, and even made himself at home (including sleeping in bed with her 😂), which says so much about the environment she provides. As a flight attendant, finding someone I can truly trust with my dog while I’m away is invaluable, and I’m so incredibly thankful I found Brooke. She is kind, communicative, and genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Archie came home happy, relaxed, and I already know she’ll be my go-to sitter moving forward. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet like family, I wholeheartedly recommend her! Thank you again, Brooke! ❤️”
“Steven, Diane and Titan were amazing with our babygirl, Bella. I always get a little anxious leaving her with someone new but Bella had the best time during her stay. She was so tired from playing with all the puppers. They sent lots of pictures of our girl and all the fun (and naps) she was having. Communication was great. We will definitely be using Diane and Steven again!”
“McKenzie has been great! Lou Lou comes home thoroughly exhausted and happy. She loves spending time with the other dogs and is always excited when we drive up to her house.”
“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.”
“Buck and Kato had a great stay with Jen and her family. She kept me up to date with photos and videos the whole time so I could see how much fun they were having. Very dog-friendly yard and lots of places for them to lounge and drink water inside. Thank you Jen!”
“Great communication and flexibility from Alecia and Todd. They treated my little girl like one of their own. My mind was totally at ease. Can't wait til next time!”
“Our pup came home happy and well cared for. Kelly gave our dog enough exercise and even catered to our finicky eater. She was kind and treated our dog like her own! She also was easy to work with.”
“We feel very comfortable leaving Winnie with Peg and Greg. They consistently provide loving care for our dog while we are away. Great communication and specific needs are always addressed!”
“Our two miniature schnoodles (15 1/2 and 2 1/2) had a fabulous time at Krista's home. Every photo and video showed them romping or exploring in the backyard with other dogs or snuggling/sleeping with her boys or their new-found doggie friends. Tilly and Flynn's.stay was literally doggy heaven! Krista did a great job feeding our finicky duo and was happy to administer Tilly's eye medication. She provided a loving and caring home away from home and provided many snapshots and videos of their stay so we could enjoy all the fun the doodles were having while we were on our family vacation. We will definitely book another stay with Krista and her boys!”
“Catherine and her husband took excellent care of our dog. Very communicative with pics, video and messages. Made us feel very relaxed with the care of one of our family.”
“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.”
“Anika always provides peace of mind when watching my dog. She genuinely cares about making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’d absolutely continue using her services.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomington
Tyler is an outstanding Rover host and has truly spoiled both our family and our two dogs! He’s extremely proactive with communication, keeping us updated with photos, videos, walks and playtime throughout their stay. We also appreciated his calm demeanor and his easygoing dog, Ava, who was a great companion for our pups. Tyler provides exceptional care from start to finish, and we look forward to booking with him again!
Julie & Chad were so kind and are such great care takers. It was our first time boarding Koda so we were a bit nervous but their reassurance and updates were so helpful. I could tell Koda was so happy and safe. Thank you again to Julie & Chad for taking care & loving Koda while he was there.
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.
Lucy had a great time staying with Charlie while we went away for a weekend! Charlie was a great communicator, very responsible, and I could tell Lucy had the best time staying with him. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter in the twin cities.
Timely, kind, and incredibly reassuring—Nick made the whole experience seamless, especially as my first time using someone outside of family. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. Nick has a calm demeanor and kind presence . Communication was excellent, with updates provided daily or as often as requested, which gave me real peace of mind. Highly recommend.

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 .
As of July 2026, there are 2,604 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bloomington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% 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.
