“Our Luna had a short stay with Maria yesterday and she was very well taken care of. Luna got along fine with Maria’s small dogs and seemed happy and relaxed when we picked her up. We plan to have her care for our pup again for a long stay next month.”
“Dave is a very kind and communicative sitter. It was clear that Dave is a dog lover and I was happy knowing that my dog was going to get loads of attention. Dave sent updates and pictures which was highly appreciated and I could tell that my dog was comfortable in the home and was very fond Dave.”
“Andrew is wonderful with my dogs. We did a meet and greet and the dogs were very comfortable and happy to have a sleep over. I received reports and video and photos showing they were having fun.”
“Colleen and Joe took amazing care of our dog, Tobi! I felt very comfortable, leaving him in their care. They even went above and beyond to send pictures and give Tobi a bath after a long day outside. Will absolutely use them in the future!”
“Megan and Mike were fabulous caregivers to our pup! They sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. They gave her lots of love and cuddles and followed all our instructions for food, walks, etc. Highly recommend such a sweet family!”
“This is my second time booking with Sheree and I’m so grateful for her flexibility and kindness. Sheree was willing to watch Puppers last minute, and she took great care of him! I plan to book with her again in the future :)”
“Dustin was easy to communicate with for drop off and pick up coordination. We loved receiving the videos of our Hilda while we were traveling. We will definitely use Dustin again when we have boarding needs.”
“Jailene was fantastic with my dog Riley. She sent regular update, photos, and videos. He stayed over the 4th of July holiday, and Jailene had great questions beforehand to make sure he was comfortable.”
“Sarah is such a kind and warm sitter. She was so accommodating to our dogs unique needs and I could tell he loved being at her house. I will definitely use her again.”
“Another great visit with Lan for my Labradoodle, Buddy. As always, she was great, taking special care of my little guy while I was away for nearly three weeks. Really appreciated her flexibility when we needed to adjust our return date. It was so good to know he was in good hands and having so much fun playing with her dog, Lucy.”
“Promise and her pups took really great care of my corgi for a week while I was away for work. I received consistent updates and when I picked up Mooney she seemed happy!”
“Judy is a sweet lady who seems genuinely interested in caring for, spoiling, and spending time with my dog. I’m not so sure how much she walked him, I suspect not too much, but otherwise she’s really kind and seems to care quite a bit for my pet, which means a lot to me. I highly recommend Judy for pet sitting!”
“Deneen and her husband were both so kind and took incredible care of my two dogs (one of them a senior). She was always very quick to respond to any questions I had and sent daily pictures while I was away. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Rosangela is an amazing dog sitter. Excellent communication with fun daily updates. It was clear that my baby was in the best care with so much loving attention. I highly recommend her as she will be our go to every time.”
“Blue loves going to Hope & Greg's. I feel comfortable leaving Blue with Hope and Greg for not only short trips, but also those long trips. I'm so glad to have found them on Rover!”
“My dog had a great long 8 night stay with Leah while my wife and I were on vacation. Leah gave regular updates with photos, and was very easy to communicate with the entire time + before. She took him on walks and she has a fenced yard to play in. I definetly recommend Leah and would trust her to care for my dog again.”
“Wesley was fantastic with our dog while for four nights of boarding. He was exceptionally good at communicating, sending updaters with photos, and making us feel at ease even though we hadn’t worked with Wesley before. It was so lovely to pick our pup up from Wesley where he was smiling and clearly well cared for! We will definitely ask Wesley to help again in the future.”
“Lila cut her paw a week prior to our trip so I didn't know if I would have to cancel. It was very comforting to know that Jasmine is qualified and willing to give Lila her antibiotics and care for her paw. Jasmine was also more than willing to mix Lila's food a special way to be sure that she (a light eater) ate each meal so that the antibiotics didn't upset her stomach. I would definitely board with Jasmine again.”
“This was my first booking with Rover and Jennifer made me feel like my Bristol was in very good hands. She was very sweet and attentive and sent cute pictures and updates.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia Heights
Elsa took wonderful care of our two Pomeranians, Jojo and Lola. She sent daily updates with pictures and video and it was clear that the pups were very happy! They’d never been left with a sitter before so we were nervous but Elsa made us feel confident that our babies were being properly pampered and loved!
Lizzy was phenomenal! My wife and I were out of the country for 9 days. This was the first time we left our dog, Lemon, for more than one night, and we were very nervous. But Lizzy was so great with Lemon. We got frequent updates and could tell from the pictures that he was settling right in. We felt comfortable knowing Lemon was well taken care of and shown so much love while we were away. 100% would book again.
Pamela was an excellent sitter. Communicating before and during the stay was quick and timely. She sent photos and videos, as well as administering an allergy pill each day. I knew my dog was safe and in good care and I never had any concerns. I would highly recommend Pamela.

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 Columbia Heights 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 Columbia Heights 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 Columbia Heights 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 Columbia Heights.
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 Columbia Heights 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.
