“A a huge, thank you to both Zach and Kelly. It was a really good relief to know that both of our pets were in good hands. It was my first time leaving them and Kelly and Zach did a great job making me feel confident that they would be OK. Both dogs came back, happy and safe and healthy and we appreciate all the peace that Kelly and Zach gave us while we were on vacation. Thank you so much for everything.”
“Kona had a great stay with Brittany. She was responsive when we missed Kona and needed a photo or two and she had great communication about each day. I would recommend her to friends.”
“Nathan did a great job with our Rosie. Rosie loved lounging with the kids, playing with the other dogs, and was even the center of a dance show. We received daily updates while we were gone, and came home to a happy exhausted girl.”
“Rachel came through last minute on a holiday weekend. Coordinating drop off and pick up was a breeze as Rachel was flexible and quick to respond. I was a bit nervous about leaving Boogie with a new person but it is very clear that she had a great time and made a new friend. I would recommend and will use in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was 6 years old. I’ve had German Shepards, Pugs, Labs, Boxers, puggles and mixed breeds. I love all dogs~ and am currently dog free. I will care for yours as I would my own- like children. 🥰. I’ve had a long career in Human Resources, and with that comes great responsibility, trust and integrity. I have clean background- not even a parking ticket. I enjoy playing with dogs, petting them (maybe some smooches as evidenced in my photos) and giving plenty of love and attention. I can walk dogs, feed them, give medicine, throw a few balls - whatever their favorite activity is just let me know! I have had special needs dogs as well- so special circumstances are not a problem. Thanks!
“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.”
“This was my first time leaving my pup with anyone other than friends/family and Kevin made our stay so easy. He was communicative and took great care of my little guy and I couldn't have asked for a better first dog sitting experience!”
“Hannah is amazing! We've left our girl with her twice now, and she took really good care of her and adapted to her needs for 100%! Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back ❤️”
“Wow. What can I say. We were blown away by Emily’s kindness. She is the ultimate dog mom, sweet and caring. We took the longest trip we’ve ever taken away from our pup (miniature dachshund). Emily set up a meet and greet so our pup could meet her lovely dogs. Emily asked a ton of questions to get to know our dog. Which made me feel so much better. The meet & greet went great and meeting Emily put all my fears of leaving our pup aside. I knew our pup would be well loved and cared for and boy was she ever! We received daily updates, photos and videos. It was so nice to see her while we were so far away. Knowing she was being spoiled while we were across the world made our trip that much more enjoyable. As you all know, leaving a pup is like leaving a child. I never once worried about her. If you are looking for a loving, caring sitter for your pup, Emily is your gal. We plan to use her for our dog sitter as long as she’s willing. We are so lucky we found her!! Thank you so much, Emily!!!”
“I was so worried to leave my dog. I appreciated David’s pictures and he was so prompt replying whenever I sent a message. He is knowledgeable about my dog’s breed and gave me helpful tips. I will definitely use David to watch my dog again!”
“Another year and another great stay with Taylor and Andrew. Our boy is big, strong willed and not great with all dogs but he is treated like one of their own with Taylor. She is great with keeping her pack safe, happy, and entertained and giving me photo updates throughout the week.”
“My Percy was in fantastic hands !!! Nyree took my reservation last minute so I could take a trip to Florida which I thought was very nice. Then I needed to stay in Florida for one extra day and again Nyree was happy to accommodate and help us out. Pictures of my happy puppy came in each evening which really made his mom Happy to know he was well taken care of. I highly recommend nyree and I will def book with her again 5/5”
“Anika was great! She was able to help us out last minute & even allowed us to come over for a meeting & greet before we were gone. She took such great care of our dog & provided updates while we were gone.”
“Kathryn was extremely nice and easy to work with. She responded promptly and was very accommodating. Loki had a great time with her, and we would definitely feel comfortable leaving him with her again.”
“Molly did a great job caring for my elderly dog! She was able to accommodate diaper changes/medications and kept me updated and on how she was doing! Highly recommend booking with Molly!”
“I left my 8 month old here for her very first time away and Lydia was above and beyond amazing, I had very little worries while I was on vacation and loved that I got pictures throughout the day. She knows how to work with all kinds of dogs. Will be using her again :)”
“Gabrielle and her husband took wonderful care of Odie. Odie had a great time playing with their dog who is the same age. When Odie had some itchiness, she let me know and took steps to help resolve it. She provided pics each day and a brief recap.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia Heights
We were worried about our dog Sugar when planning a 2 weeks trip, as he lives with us most of the time. We found Colleen and Joe with many good reviews from other dog owners and they have a small dog Nico too. They took good care of Sugar and sent updates every day during our trip. We are so thankful to Colleen and Joe for making Sugar comfortable and our trip enjoyable! We’ll definitely love to use them again in the future.
Susie and her husband were wonderful hosts for our dog. They are friendly, communicated timely, and are confident dog sitters. Ou dog came home calm and happy. He got on well with their dog, and seemed right at home. We received several photo updates over the course of Spencer’s stay. He got plenty of exercise. During his stay, he needed some pills administered, and that was no issue.
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!
We had a great experience with Jailene! Our dog was very comfortable and clearly well cared for during his stay. She sent us regular photo and text updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away, and was always available if we wanted to check in. She was also very accommodating when our flight was unexpectedly delayed and we needed to extend his stay. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was, and would definitely book with her again!
Frances is so great, she took such great care of our golden retriever Charlie. Frances’ dog Luna is extremely sweet and had a blast welcoming Charlie into their home. We really appreciated all the updates about their adventures and how Charlie was doing throughout the stay.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 2,723 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Columbia Heights. About 92% 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Meet & Greet.
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. 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.
Emergency support 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, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
