“Bella had a great stay with Manami! Manami kept us up to date with photos and notes each day. This was our first time leaving our 9 year old lab with anyone but family. We were appreciative that she was so well taken care of. We would recommend Manami and Bella would love to stay with her again!”

About: My husband and I grew up with pets. Now that we have 3 children of our own, we'd like to help out with others' pets until we're ready for our own. We've had one cat for a couple of years but we'd love to welcome a dog into our home at some point. I work part-time and our kids are done with school at 2p. We'll have lots of time to love on your pets all afternoon, evening, overnight, and most weekends! We have a good sized fenced in yard to play in on nice days. We have indoor space to explore or can crate your pet if that's what they need. We also have capacity to close pets into separate areas if they're struggling to get along.

“Our pug LOVED his 4-day stay with Brenda and her family! Our little guy got along great with her two pit bulls and really bonded with their little boy. The dogs played and ran together in the fenced in yard. Our pug came home happy and ready to nap. Each day, I received a couple of photos with a brief update which I appreciated. This was a short-notice booking, and I am so grateful that Brenda was available. We will definitely arrange dog-sitting with Brenda in the future.”

She has 2 other dogs Wally and Daphne. She has a fenced in backyard. Our dog got along with them both. They are both older dogs and calm. Highly recommend Katie to anyone needing a sitter.”

Simply one of the best 😍🫶👍”

Love Cassie! She was perfect for watching our Tristan and can't thank her enough. I just had a really good feeling about Cassie after reading her profile, then meeting her a week before leaving my 14 yr old cat Tristan with her for 3 weeks. I will never want anyone else to care for Tristan. Super pleased with Cassie!

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 2,743 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Columbia Heights. About 91% of Columbia Heights sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
