“Amy made us feel totally comfortable trusting our pup with her. It was a much needed vacation so being kept in the loop not having to worry about what was going on with Arya was a blessing!”
“Susie was very welcoming and happy to host Archie! She has a great space and is very mindful of each dog's needs. Archie was exhausted after all of the playing. Thank you, Susie!”
“Our dog Schnitzel gets so excited to go spend time with Andrew. He’s so great with our dog, and provides lots of updates which we really appreciate while we are away. Every time Schnitzel stays with Andrew we know he’s in great care!”
“Alvin had a fabulous time with Elsa and Nick. He learned how to go down stairs and jump onto the sofa. After 2 years I have never been able to teach hi. To see him happily descending stairs was a wonderful shock. It was wonderful to receive pictures, videos and updates daily. Alvin has only stayed away from me twice, and often ignores my visitors. So seeing how much he enjoyed his one on one pampering by Elsa and Nick was wonderful. I will be booking a date in May. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of him.”
“Maria was so kind when we met her and then followed up with outstanding care the 5 days we were gone. We received photos and videos and text messages daily. She responded to us promptly if we texted with any questions. Highly recommend Maria for your pet needs.”
“Erin took amazing care of scooby! He was super comfortable staying with her and had a lot of fun as evidenced by her twice daily picture/ video updates. I could tell he loved her when I picked him up on the last day! Thanks Erin!”
“Eric and Martha were so sweet to our dog Pluto while we were gone for the weekend! They made him feel like part of the family- he loved getting plenty of cuddles, yard time, and even tagging along for a couple of errands. They treated him like he was one of their own! We loved meeting them and can’t wait till Pluto can have another vacation at their house. :)”
“I would give Colleen and Joe ten stars if I could. They were absolutely wonderful pet sitters and I recommend them without hesitation. Our dog loved their fabulous and safe yard and Colleen is so kind and caring. Truthfully, it was worry free on our end we we loved the pictures and updates we got.”
“Maisey settled right in, they took such good care of her. She was comfortable and cuddling immediately!! They accommodated me last minute and I was so fortunate to find them!”
“Promise was so good with our nervous yorkie-poo! She sent us multiple updates and pictures throughout the day and I can tell she really loves all of the dogs she cares for!”
“Miss Terrie was a rockstar when it came to taking care of my little Fu last week. I had not had Fu a week when I had to leave town for a family situation. Terrie was so helpful with Fu...even though Fu turned out to be not very good when it came to her crate. (She ate her way out of it, the second day.) Terrie just went out and bought her a used one, no fuss at all. She is an exceptionally nice person and an obvious dog lover. She was kind enough to send me pictures of Fu, and enough information that I did not worry about being away. I am very grateful to Terrie for making it possible for me to be away without any fears for my dog.”
“Dave was fantastic! Took great care of our 2 little Pekingese (one with special medical needs) for a little over a week. Sent updates and photos regularly. Based on questions he asked and comments he sent during their stay, you could tell he was paying close attention to our dogs, which made us feel really confident in their care. Would definitely use Dave again!”
“Mack had a fantastic long weekend at Kara and Adam's house! Reservations and meet-up were a breeze and Kara's communication was timely and did a lot to calm our nerves around being away from Mack for the first time; pictures were an awesome bonus. Will definitely book again.”
“Basil had so much fun playing with Augie and running outside in their fenced in backyard in fresh snow. Very nice family and we would love to have them care for Basil again.”
“Timmothy was timely with responses, and flexible with pickup time! He even left a gift for our dog in her bag! He kept her safe and happy! Even gave us local recommendations!”
“Excellent experience! J has a wonderful, calm home environment that was absolutely perfect for my elderly dog. He is highly communicative and took wonderful care of him. I will definitely book with him again!”
“Thank you for not only providing a warm, secure, comfortable, happy place for Duck to stay while we were out of town, but also for your kind patience in dealing with some of Duck's extra energy. We are grateful for your willingness to take him under your roof this past weekend. We can tell he thoroughly enjoyed being with you, Sophie, and the other pup because he's pretty exhausted today. Duck would love to visit again in the future.”
“Pamela was fantastic caring for my girl Aspen! She always sends me updates with pictures, videos and daily check-ins :) I know that I can trust her to give very best care!”
“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.”
“It may sound cliche, but in this case it also true that Robert truly enjoys being with and caring for your dog. He’s responsive, conscientious, and sent a few great photos of our dog relaxing on her bed - she appeared to immediately feel safe and cared for. Thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia Heights
Andrew came highly recommended and his services did not disappoint. My dogs were very well taken care of, his communication and updates are excellent, and my dogs were right at home. It is so reassuring to get pictures and videos every day. 100/10 experience with Andrew!
I can’t recommend her enough! She took amazing care of my dog, Toby, while I was away. She kept me updated, made sure he was happy and comfortable, and treated him like he was her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and trustworthy hands. Toby was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved during his stay. Thank you for going above and beyond. I will definitely use her services in the future again.
Rachel is incredible! I bring Norman here almost weekly for daycare and he comes home tired & happy! We just went away for a long weekend and Rachel agreed to watch both pups for a few days and it worked out so well. I love knowing they are safe and playing with pups so we can enjoy our vacations!
I am so glad we booked with Elsa- she was everything I was hoping for and more! She was so kind and thoughtful about how she took care of our dog and sent updates/pictures to keep my mind at ease. She even trained a few new behaviors for our dog! I will definitely be booking with Elsa again next time we need a sitter!
Wow, Julianne was incredible! She took such amazing care of our dogs while we were away at our wedding, and it honestly gave us so much peace of mind. She sent plenty of updates throughout the weekend, and it was so sweet seeing how happy and comfortable the dogs looked. They went on walks, got lots of backyard playtime, and even had the best little neighborhood experience. Her neighbors were so kind to them and even gave them pig ears, which our dogs absolutely loved. When we picked them up on Sunday, they were completely wiped in the best way possible, which says everything. They clearly had a blast and were so well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent the whole time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’d absolutely book her again.
Susan was fantastic with my dog, Bodie! He had such a great time at her place and loved playing with her resident dog. Bodie is a pretty anxious guy and I was nervous about leaving him, but he took to Susan right away and clearly felt at ease around her. I’ll definitely use Susan again when I need someone to watch Bodie!
Jennifer, Eric and their kids did a wonderful job sitting for Hiro. You could tell they are truly pet people and cared for our dog while we were away. They sent daily pics and took him on walks. Hiro can be quirky at times, but they did an amazing job playing and spending time with him. We would love to use them again in the future!
I highly recommend Sara. She was wonderful with my anxious Pomeranian and sent lots of updates and photos while I was away. She was friendly, easy to work with, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Knowing my dog was in such caring hands gave me great peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Columbia Heights on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 2,707 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Columbia Heights. 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.
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.
