“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!”
“Andrew always takes great care of Treacle. We receive frequent updates with photos and videos of her playing and resting. She always has so much fun and looks forward to her next stay!”
“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.”

“J is the best! Super communicative and really loves my pup. I can tell my dog is happy in the photos he sends and when I pick him up! So grateful to have found J!”
“We went on a trip and couldn't take Liala because she is scared of car rides. This was the longest I've been apart from my big girl and it's my first time trying out Rover so I had worries but Terrie left a great first impression. She's very friendly and flexible. My dog acted like she was at home as soon as she entered Terries home and I could see she was very comfortable. We had spotty cell service way up north but Terrie made sure to keep us posted with pics and updates about Liala.”
“Our senior dog had a repeat longer stay with Dave and he came back happy, healthy, and calm. It was clear he was well taken care of there! Will rebook when needed.”
“Kara and Adam were amazing! I was a little leery about leaving my pup at someone else’s house for the first time, but I could tell Tupelo was in good hands and she had a blast! Kara is great about sending pictures and updates along the way, so I could see all the love and attention they were giving Tupelo. Kara, Adam, Oscar and family were awesome with Tupelo and I hope to become a regular patron of theirs in the future!”

“My dog had a great time. Pamela sent updates and pictures throughout his stay and her whole family played with him and gave him lots of affection. He was treated just like a member of their family.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia Heights
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.
Grace is awesome! We were going out of town for memorial day weekend for a wedding and totally forgot to book a dog sitter until the week before. Woody loved his time with Grace and it’s clear that he was very well taken care of. Grace is awesome at communicating before, during, and after the reservation. she took TONS of photos of Woody throughout the days that he was there and the constant updates from her were so nice and so needed since this was my first time using a dog sitter on rover. i’m such an anxious dog mom but Grace really eased my mind with her updates and photos which i appreciated so much.

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.
