“Tori was well taken care of during her stay at Susie’s. Susie is delightful and enjoys keeping dogs. You can see by her enthusiasm and sense of pride in her care. Definitely will use her again.”
“An amazing second stay with Elsa and Nick! Enzo was living his best life (again) and truly didn’t want to leave when my husband picked him up. Thank you, team! Also - a quick note that Enzo’s behavior with strangers actually improved after his first stay with Elsa and Nick in April. He was much less anxious with new people at our house; an amazing byproduct of their wonderful care!”
“Amy is beyond amazing!!! I would not second guess leaving my pet with her. She is such a caring person and it shows from her skills she has with pets. Amy was so welcoming to my pup and cared for her. She was also very flexible when I had to extend my dogs stay for longer than expected. She even got my dog to eat, and she sometimes has anxiety being in new places. Amy sends pictures and updates of your pet. She did an amazing job!!”
“Colleen took such amazing care of Noli, she sent several updates, the cutest pictures and she even cooked her special food when our pup had a tummy ache. Noli came home very relaxed and happy to have met her new fur friend Nico. Thanks again Colleen!”
“Very easy booking and the communication was excellent. Maria took great care of my two pups and sent many pictures and videos. We are very happy with her and will definitely book again!”
“My dogs has such an amazing experience, they really felt at home and had lots of space to play with their new friends. I loved receiving all the updates and how comforting and accommodating Bryan and his family were. Will definitely book again!”
“Dave is exceptional! He was extremely patient and kind with my two dogs, as they both require extra patience, as one is very old and one is a barky two-year-old. We felt that our elderly and very young dogs were in excellent hands with Dave. He is also a great communicator and responds quicky with any questions. Thank you so much, Dave!”
“Dustin was so kind and wonderful to my little guys! I would definitely work with him again. This was my first time using Rover and I'm now super confident in the experience!”
“Another great stay with Erin, Eggsy and Waffles! As always, Erin is a great communicator throughout the stay and I received a great mix of pic and video updates while I was away for a week. Cant wait until the next stay over!”
“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.”
“Maddie was not just cared for, she was loved and cherished by Eric and Martha! They provided us many photos and videos and you could tell just how happy our dog was in their care. It won’t be Maddie’s last visit with them!”
“Sarah was very considerate of my pup's shyness, and I felt comfortable from the first time I met her. She was an amazing hostess, texted me lots of pictures and was very responsive and accommodating. I have already booked another stay!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Dave & Shawna. They were very enthusiastic and communicated excellently throughout the stay. I received daily updates with pictures. My corgi (Winston) had such a great time, he did not want to come home. 10/10 would recommend and book again.”
“Ms.Terrie is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Our dog, Bootz, loves being with her and in return we can see the love she gives Bootz. Bootz has stayed with her on more than one occasion and every time we look forward to knowing she is in a safe and comfortable home. Her daily updates and pictures are always appreciated. Ms.Terrie has become a special part of our lives!”
“Promise is very friendly and caring for dogs. We had a meet and greet before the actual boarding. She really took time to make sure that Aka feels not nervious at her place. She also sends pictures of Aka every day! She is amazing! I truly appreciate her!! At the end of the 5 day boarding period, Aka was cuddling with her dogs Diego and Gizmo! It was so cute to watch them becoming good friends!! Will defintely come back and book again!!”

This was Maddie's second time visiting Eric and Martha and she had just as great a time! It's so nice to not have to worry about her wellbeing while we're away - Eric and Martha take such good care of her and are very doting and attentive to her in our absence. She's treated like a queen and we're so grateful!
Our dog had such a good time with Frances and her dog Luna that I am not sure he wanted to go home! Frances also sent us lots of updates and pictures and she really has thought of everything with logistics. We will definitely be looking her up in the future! It is so much easier to leave your dog when you know they are going to have an amazing time!
Colleen and Joe were outstanding dog-sitters and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with them. I had been really nervous to leave my dog with anyone other than family but they completely put me at ease. Colleen and Joe typically only board dogs under about 15 lbs because of the size of their senior dog, and that was a perfect fit. Mabel had an incredible time in their gorgeous home and made a great friend with Nico. I appreciated the updates and cute photos and felt super confident with their care. She normally has some separation anxiety but when pulling up to their house she jumped out of my car and pretty much made herself at home. Having trusted sitters makes such a difference and opens me up to be able to travel more. Thank you!
We had such a great experience! She was kind, attentive, and took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand so she could get to know Mochi, his routine, and everything he needed to feel comfortable and at home. He adjusted so quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated on how he was doing and anything that came up, and I felt completely comfortable and confident that he was in the best hands. We would absolutely trust her with Mochi again!
Makaila-Mae is wonderful!! She was great with my young puppy and very supportive. She fosters a great environment with the dogs she takes care of, theyre all very happy. She gives daily updates with pictures. She is very responsive with communication and flexible as well! I will be a returning customer.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Columbia Heights on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,670 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.
