“Judy does a great job with Precious. She posted about her playtime and mentioned how she throws the toys around. This was our 3rd time with Judy and would do it again.”
“Nickolai and Ryder took great care of my relatively new addition for our first Rover stay. Douglas is 8months old and the backyard with a K9 companion to tomorrow around with was perfect. Nickolai was understanding and accommodating with some of the lingering puppy tendencies and Ryder was kind enough to share his bed. I will definitely be reaching out in the future. 🙂 Thank you!”
“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!”
“Amy was great! She was very responsive and kept in touch the whole time we were gone. She has tremendous attention to detail and has a great set up for having dogs at her house!”
“Manami was able to take care of Yoshi for a work day under short notice while my apartment had an inspection. It went very well and it helped us out in a tight spot! Yoshi seems to like her as well! And he takes a bit to warm up to people.”
“I’ll always trust Aastha and Daniel with my dog! They do a great job and keep me updated always. Plus they get great pictures of my guy when I’m gone! He loves their big backyard”
“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.”
“This was the first time Dipper has stayed with William. She did very well. William is very kind and this was reflected in Dippers behavior when I picked her up-relaxed, tail wagging, as if she'd come from a mini-vacation. Great communication and plenty of pictures too!”
“Trish & Robert were wonderful hosts for Ruby. She had a great time running around their backyard when we met and kept me in the loop with regular updates and photos. Would definitely be looking to see if they are available the next time I have to travel without Ruby.”
“Finn appeared to be well taken care of and settled in nicely after the first day. It helped to get pictures of him throughout his stay. Jennifer was easy to work with and great at following up and communicating with us about how he was doing.”
“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!”
“Ramanda and her family were wonderful caregivers to our senior dog! She took the time to really understand his feeding schedule, needs, and routine. It was clear from the her updates and photos that he received lots of love and attention during his stay at their home.”
“dogs ran into their house on the very first visit as if they lived there! they really didnt talk much about the experience, but i guess they loved have 2 girls dote on them. they came hope quite tired which is usually a good sign. i would have liked a little more communication on how everything was going qnd maybe a few more pictures, but all in all, happy with the stay.”
“Katie was great! This was only my second time using the Rover app and with my first experience (with another sitter) I was a little hesitant to try Rover again but Katie changed that! She made me feel very comfortable leaving my Law with her. She asked me my preference as to what I allow Law to do in my house so she could uphold those behaviors which I thought was great! She sent updates and really showed my boy a great time! I will definitely recommend Katie! She was wonderful! Law will certainly be seeing her again! Thank you truly!”
“Briana provided a stellar experience. She gave great care to our fur baby and communicated frequent updates while we were away. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We highly recommend Kyle! Our dog, Waffles, loves to stay with them, we have used Kyle several times for long trips and we appreciate the updates he sends us and love that our dog just gets to join in on their day to day routine! Love coming home from a trip to a happy and tired dog.”
“Winnie always has the best time with Kiirsten! Winnie cries with excitement when we get close enough to Kiirsten’s house for her to know where we’re going. Kiirsten is wonderful to work with and can’t wait to use her again!”
“Taylor provided excellent care to my pups. She communicated regularly and sent pictures during their stay. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommends”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Crystal
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! My dog Lucy was loved and cared for like she was right at home. I received daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of! ❤️🐾
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Timmy! ❤️ They took such amazing care of him and kept us updated the entire time with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They even made sure Timmy got to experience his first boat ride! It was so comforting knowing he was in such good hands and being loved on while we were gone. We’re so grateful for the care, communication, and thoughtfulness they showed Timmy. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!
It was my first time leaving Chloe, my field golden retriever, with a Rover family. Nicholai was kind and welcoming. The meet up went great. I could tell that Chloe immediately liked him. She was playing fetch with a ball in their BIG back yard. After a little time he introduced their dog to Chloe and that went well. The overall stay went great. I felt comfortable with her being with a family so she wasn’t alone. I got updates and photos. And I was able to pick her up at 8pm after landing at the airport. She was happy to see me (whew)! But when we were leaving, Chloe went back to Nickolai for a pet too.
Jessica was an amazing dog sitter! My poor dog was just recovering from an allergic reaction when I dropped him off, and she was incredibly attentive to his needs. She carefully followed his medication instructions, monitored his progress, and kept me updated throughout their time together with photos and messages. She even noticed when his ear was bothering him and made sure to keep an eye on it. She gave him plenty of walks and outdoor time, and her family was so sweet and loving toward him. Knowing he was in such caring and attentive hands gave me so much confidence and relief, especially while I was out of state. I would absolutely recommend Jessica to anyone! I’ll definitely have her care for my dog again!
Annalise and her family always provide a fun and reliable home away from home for our pup! Their large back yard is a great place to run around and their toddler is a good buddy to hang around with. Annalise is easy to communicate with and very flexible. Thank you!! We can't wait to come again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Crystal is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $47 per night. 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 of October 2026, there are 2,664 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Crystal. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Crystal can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Crystal home-away-from-home, 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 Crystal.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Crystal 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 , 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 .
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.
