“Hans had a fantastic stay with Julie and Ben and was extremely well taken care of for almost a full week. Communication was excellent. Pick up and drop off was a breeze. Could not recommend them enough to care for your pet!”
“Once again Ella seemed to thoroughly enjoy her stay with Liss. Liss was very flexible and provided daily pictures. I appreciate knowing Ella is in good hands while I am gone.”
“This was our first time leaving pup. I was very nervous. But after getting a recommendation from a neighbor, and after our Meet and Greet with Charlie, we knew everything was going to be ok! We really liked that Charlie has so many years experience watching dogs, that he had a fenced yard and worked from home. We missed our pup so much - it helped to get several updates and pictures during her stay and Charlie was very responsive to our questions. Pup came home happy and we will definitely be asking Charlie to babysit again!”
“River has looked after my 100+ pound lab/husky mix (Miko) 5 times now. It took me 3 separate Rover stays to find the right sitter near the airport before River. I fly out of MSP at least once every 6-8 weeks and she is always flexible with the drop-off and pick-up times, as flights are often delayed. Miko makes new friends while he's there and I enjoy the video and photo updates throughout the trips. Thanks River!”
“Barbara does a wonderful job providing updates and caring for our two different dogs. The large backyard provides plenty of shade and space for the dogs to play. The younger pup made new friends and the older dog reluctantly left with us when we returned. We are so fortunate to have Barbara in the neighborhood!”
“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!”
“My dog loved his stay with Saniya. He came back pooped from playing with her dog all weekend. She sent updates and pictures so I knew my dog was safe and happy. I plan to rebook with her soon!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“McKenzie was great! She demonstrated interest in and compassion for our dogs. She sent us lots of pictures and was prompt and helpful with communication.”
“So grateful our Dane puppy got to stay with Steve and Diane while we were away for 8 days. It was clear he had a great time and they were super communicative and sent photos. They were also flexible when our flight got delayed and we had to push back a day.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Alecia and Todd made it a great experience! Their communication was great and we received updates throughout her stay. Our dog is getting older, so she sometimes needs a little extra love and attention, but Alicia and Todd made sure she was comfortable and happy throughout. Highly recommended!”
“Our dogs were so happy and loved! They felt comfortable enough to show their personalities, and loved their new friends. Even our grumpy old man came around.”
“Soooo great to have Jessica and Grant's good care when I went on vacation. They are fun, friendly and great to work with. My dog came home happy and I LOVED the pix and updates. Thank you! I'll definitely reach out again!”
“Anika and Kaiser were the best companions for our dog Lenny while we were on vacation. Anika’s yard was large and the perfect place for Lenny to run. Anika was always so quick to respond and we felt so safe leaving Lenny in her hands. Would highly recommend!”
“Alison & Phil were phenomenal sitters for my 12 year old Australian shepherd, Teddy! He stayed with them for 9 days while I was traveling, and it was such a comfort knowing what capable hands my boy was in, especially since this was my first time using a sitter. Teddy can be quite nervous around new adult men, but Phil’s gentle energy won him over immediately. At the meet and greet prior to his stay, Teddy excitedly ran between Alison and Phil, soaking up all the love and attention. They asked lots of thoughtful questions about his routine, preferences, habits, health, and personality. It was helpful to see the home and yard he would be staying in, and I liked knowing he was going to be the only dog in their care since Teddy isn’t a fan of other dogs. Their attention to detail and ability to put my anxious boy at ease so quickly were SO reassuring. While I was gone, I got daily pupdates with lots of photos, some videos, and a summary of what they’ve been up to. Initially, they sent a morning and evening update, but because everything was going so smoothly, we did just an evening update for the rest of the trip. There was a heatwave and heavy smoke from wildfires several of the days they had Teddy, and they adjusted his routine to accommodate and keep everyone safe. Pickup and drop off were also nice and stress free. All in all it was a 10/10 experience. I will absolutely be rebooking next time we need a sitter and cannot recommend them enough!”
“can't say enough about the care that my dog Moose got from KiirstenC while I traveled over the holiday. ! It was our first experience with Rover. Moose was well fed, played with, snuggled, and truly loved by Kiirstenn and her family. She sent me texts and pictures while I was gone updating me on his activities. Moose is a Shih Tzu, Kiirsten's dog is also a Shih Tzu. She gets us! I can honestly say that I did not worry about Moose all the while I was gone. I would call upon Kiirsten to leave Moose with whenever I need to travel again, knowing he is loved and well taken care of when I cant be with him.”
“Kaylee was a wonderful sitter for miko! She was both kind and attentive to all his needs especially as a wheelchair pup. She always checked in with me and gave me updates on his care. She’s such a sweet person and I think any pup that stays with her will like her!”

Wendy was great with Lenny. She kept me informed about how he was doing throughout the day and sent me pictures of him. Most important, Lenny was comfortable in her home. He bonded with her husband Justin as well as her dogs. Thank you for a job well done. I would highly recommend Wendy.
Jen communicated well and was very flexible with our changing itinerary. She obviously has lots of experience with dogs. She shared her detailed observations about our dog’s behavior in a way that made it clear she was very attentive to his needs while he stayed with her.
Beanie had a great stay with Tyler and Ava! She loved the big backyard and all the walks. She got along great with Ava, who is a real sweetie pie of a dog - it was like they were sisters - haha! Tyler kept us well informed and was very easy to deal with in every way. We will definitely come back - This was a fabulous stay!
Allison and her family were so welcoming to our girl Fiona. We knew that Fiona would be in good hands while we were on vacation. We received daily updates and pictures which made us feel more at ease. Allison's home is not air conditioned which Fiona probably enjoyed the warmer house, since I keep ours at 68*. Also, Allison now has adorable mini humans and the home is now filled with kid toys and lots of kid/baby equipment making for tighter spaces but Fiona loves kids and a couch so it wasn't an issue for Fiona who would love to lay around and watch the world go by. We would consider Allison again for our future needs. She gave Fiona plenty of exercise with daily walks and outside time.
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 .
As of September 2026, there are 2,567 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.
