“This is the longest I've ever left Mia and I did not want to board her at a kennel for 12 nights. Lan kept me updated with pictures and videos that made me relax and enjoy my vacation more knowing she was well taken care of and had a buddy to play with too. Thanks Lan!”
“Patty and Patrick have been absolutely wonderful with Lola. Before her stay, I reached out to let them know that she was dealing with a CCL injury. They had no hesitation in taking her and immediately reassured me that they were comfortable providing the extra care and attention she needed with this injury (and her existing allergies). Throughout her stay, they truly doted on Lola, making sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. What stands out most is how genuinely concerned they are for her well-being. They always take special care of her and treat her as if she were their own. Knowing Lola is with Patty and Patrick gives ‘e tremendous peace of mind. Their kindness, compassion, and attentiveness are evident in everything they do.”
“Pamela did a superb job with our little dog. She sent pics, videos and daily updates. He came back looking brushed which I really appreciated. I'd recommend her a thousand times over!”
“This was Bronx’s second time staying with Rachel! When we picked him up and he saw that we were going into the car, he did not want to leave from her front lawn 😂 I can tell he has so much fun with her and I trust her to watch him again in the future. Thank you Rachel!”
“They were great. We left our dog for 2 1/2 months and they handled everything. Kind and generous and very caring. I would recommend them to anyone as the perfect pet sitters. .”
“Royal had a great time! Sitters we’re flexible as our schedule changed out of our control. We could tell Royal loved it. Defines repeat if the need presents itself.”
“Lisa was kind and caring! She did an excellent job of helping our senior pup feel comfortable. She sent pictures and updates throughout his stay. We’d definitely book with Lisa again in the future.”
“Lely and Mark were great; I had an upcoming trip coming up and it was going to be the first time boarding my dog so I was looking for somewhere she'd be the only pet present with her nervous disposition. I had a quick meetup over a weekend to make sure there wasn't any initial issues, and then a overnight stay that went well. After taking my dog home the next day she went straight to sleeping after a quick walk, so I don't doubt she got adequate attention during her short stay. Overall, I think I'll be a lot less stressed about my dogs upcoming longer stay and appreciate them taking the time to test the waters.”
“Jordan did a great job of caring for our senior dog for 3 nights at his home. His communication was prompt and he provided daily photos and updates. Jordan also has a very lovely fenced in back yard with tennis balls ready to toss. Also, he had water already set up for our dog before we even arrived. We will book with Jordan again.”
“Dustin did a great job of taking care of Winnie! From the videos and pictures that Dustin sent, it looked like Winnie was having a great time and was being well cared for.”
“Chico has stayed with many Rover sitters and Promise felt the most like a true dog lover. She sent pics and videos daily and communication was great! Chico was clearly loved, highly recommend!”
“Susan and Craig took watching our pet seriously. We know that he was in good hands. They kept us aware of his well being by sending pictures and providing regular updates. We will definitely visit them again. Thank you.”
“Andrew took great care of Treacle! She had a lot of fun playing in the yard with the other dogs staying with him. We really appreciated all of the video updates of her playing and lounging throughout her stay!”
“We left our elderly dog with Derek for a long weekend. Derek did an excellent job of sending pictures and keeping us updated as to how Scooter was doing. We were impressed and will use Derek again in the future!”
“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.”
“Judy has been my only sitter and I have used her a few times. She really loves Precious and gives me updates to her day. Will only use her. I gave a tip when I came back.”
“Dogs really enjoy themselves here! It’s an open, welcoming atmosphere where dogs can play and socialize with the other pups. I love a good environment that’s comfortable for both dogs and children, and this place fits right in. They have a big backyard for the dogs to run and burn off energy, and overall it seemed like a perfect fit for ours. They’re also very communicative and send pictures, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“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.”
“I wish I could give a 100 star review. Kyle is amazing and our dogs are so comfortable and happy at his house and with his family. I am beyond thankful for being able to drop our dogs off at a place they love and with a family that take such good care of them!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia Heights
Eric and Martha recently watched our boy, Tex. They sent daily updates which made us feel confident that Tex was enjoying his stay. They took him on daily walks, he received daily treats, and so much love! We’ve already booked Tex’s next stay with Eric and Martha! Thanks so much!
This was Nikes first time with Andrew and it was seamless! He sent us updates, videos, photos and eased any concerns we had. We appreciated how thorough he was with checking in Nike and keeping us informed. Nike came back totally happy and exhausted. Perfect. Highly recommend!
Jules was an amazing baby sitter for our puppy Taro. He is a high energy guy with a lot of hang ups. Jules kept him happy and snuggled him. We were in Japan, 14 hours ahead and Jules was still easy to connect with the whole trip. She left ample pictures for us to see and assured us he was a happy guy. He even helped her garden! Taro is a very heat sensative dog who struggles to be outside in bad heat. It was 90+ some of the days he was with her and she made sure he was a happy safe boy. I can not express how well cared for Taro was while we were gone. It made it easier to be thousands of miles away from him.
Brittni and Michael were great with Olive. They were warm and welcoming when I arrived and made sure that Olive was settled in. They promised me timely updates and allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying about my dog. Having them work at home was awesome because that is what Olive is used to. Would book again! Thank you.
Dave and family were super awesome hosts to my old man for the weekend! He has trouble moving around with his arthritis, but they made sure to walk him with his little harness and get them outside in the grass where he could lounge around! His little girls also tucked him in - so sweet!! Highly recommend for anyone looking for hands-on attention for their loved ones while they are away! Will definitely be reaching out when Puckett needs another weekend away from dad - 20 out of 10!!
Kaitlin was once again amazing with caring for our pup! This was his first multi-day boarding with Kaitlin & he looked so happy & at home in every vid & pic she sent us. It's great knowing that our dog is in good hands with Kaitlin, she's definitely my (& my dog's!) first choice for a petsitter.

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 .

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.
