“Nickolai and his family were perfect for our 2 dogs who are used to family life. He took great care of their needs and invited them in to being part of a temporary family with them.”
“I’m giving a well-deserved 5-star rating to Manami! Booking was super easy. She took time to meet Lulu a few weeks before watching her. They hit it off right from the start! She was very accommodating on drop off and pick up times. Lulu got plenty of exercise. And then plenty of naps! We appreciated Manami’s great communication, including several pictures while we were away. She’ll definitely be our first call the next time we need to leave Lulu with someone!”
“Erin & Ramon were great! My senior dog had a ball with them I appreciated her asking if he played well with other dogs before accepting another dog booking while watching mine. I would definitely book them again in the future.”
“Maisey settled right in, they took such good care of her. She was comfortable and cuddling immediately!! They accommodated me last minute and I was so fortunate to find them!”
“I would give Colleen and Joe ten stars if I could. They were absolutely wonderful pet sitters and I recommend them without hesitation. Our dog loved their fabulous and safe yard and Colleen is so kind and caring. Truthfully, it was worry free on our end we we loved the pictures and updates we got.”
“Jennifer was a great sitter for my 3 y/o AmStaff, Isla! She was prompt and professional in her communication and took the time to get to know Isla and do everything she could to make her stay a positive experience. I felt very confident that my girl was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Jennifer and plan to book with her again next time we're traveling.”
“Daniela watched my 4 month old puppy and I couldn’t be happier! She was extremely responsive when we reached out to her and continued communication with us the whole time! I got updates throughout everyday with pictures and messages on how my pup was doing! Even sent us home with some more treats and a bone! Will definitely be coming back to her!”
“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.”
“Maureen was absolutely amazing with Kera and Beau. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can genuinely tell how much she loves dogs. Beau is still young and has a ton of energy, while Kera is older and likes to take things a little slower, and Maureen did such a good job making sure both of their very different needs were taken care of. It made me feel so good knowing they were getting the attention each of them needed. I would trust Maureen with them again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dogs like they’re her own.”
“Justin and his mom were so accomodating with my dog, Drake who is young and full of energy. I just checked him out today and he stayed with them for a month. Justin sends me photos of Drake like every other day of Drake getting some walks, etc. If you have dogs like me and looking for temporary home due to travel, I recommend you leave it to Justin and his mom’s good hands. I trust that they would do the same. I would definitely have Drake stay with them in the future. Thanks guys!”
“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!”
“My dog had a great long 8 night stay with Leah while my wife and I were on vacation. Leah gave regular updates with photos, and was very easy to communicate with the entire time + before. She took him on walks and she has a fenced yard to play in. I definetly recommend Leah and would trust her to care for my dog again.”
“Mochi has the best time at Alicia and Simon's! They send us daily pictures/videos/ and updates. When Mochi comes home he is always exhausted and sleeps for 2 days!!!”
“Our older dog, Yoda, had a great time with Allie P. and her dog. I knew Allie would be a good match for Yoda right away. We really appreciated the pictures and check-ins during our trip. I would absolutely book with Allie P again.”
“I can tell my dog had a great stay with Sonny, and I appreciate her schedule flexibility and text updates with photos! I would definitely book another stay with Sonny for my pup in the future.”
“My doggies have had a blast on 3 stays with Kait now. Kait is a pro pet sitter who also gives them a warm, fun environment and second home. She even gave my dog her 4th birthday cake & celebration, since it fell during my vacation!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Crystal is $45

My pup had another wonderful vacation with Theresa and Sean ! I received daily photos and updates of all the fun, care and attention my dog received while I was away . It was my longest vacation ever and I felt totally at ease with her being with Theresa and Sean. I cannot thank them enough for that piece of mind ! They are soooo wonderful !
Jessie went above and beyond for my dog Charlie and I after an unexpected diagnosis. Once I was hospitalized for treatment, I knew I would be unable to leave for several weeks, and leaving my dog (best friend) for that duration of time was almost just as hard as the diagnosis itself. Once admitted, Jessie made overnight accommodations to begin fostering early the next morning. Jessie is consistent and genuine, and made accommodations beyond expected. Jessie cared about my dogs diet, helped make diet adjustments, was flexible with transport pick up and drop off. She even supported me when I expressed longing for Charlie. It is evident Jessie not only cares about fur babies but also human beings, as the compassion she showed me was second to none. After the first night or two, there was not one thought that Charles was not in the best of hands other than my own. Jessie is not your foster consideration, she is your foster choice. Thank you Jessie.
Our Wheaton, Jacky, spent a weekend with Nickolai. The home was amazing with a huge fenced yard which gave our dog freedom he never gets, to run without a leash, and the company of another dog, Ryder. Nickolai had a calm presence with him and Jacky was comfortable with even though he usually is shy at first. He sent us messages and pictures to reassure us that Jacky was doing fine. Jacky came home totally normal, not overly tired, needy, or stimulated. Although we don't board him often, we will definitely use Nickolai in the future for those times when we do need this service.
Maira was fabulous! We found her at the last minute due to our dog sitter’s medical emergency. She was so willing to accommodate their needs (administer medicine to both dogs) and feeding schedules. Our pups LOVED her big fenced in backyard. Maira was so great about sending pictures and video updates. It was such a relief knowing our pups were in good hands. We will definitely be using Maira again!! ♥️
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Crystal is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $48 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.

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.
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, 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 Crystal.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Crystal. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
