“Mon Cheri had a wonderful stay with Kara! Her large, well-fenced yard was a great place for him to run and play, and her sweet and friendly dogs got along wonderfully with him. He came home relaxed and content, and we are so grateful for Kara’s loving care. We would be happy to have him stay with her again!”
“Milly had another great stay with Kate! We got daily updates so we knew our pup was happy and doing well. Can’t tell you how much we appreciate the care that Kate provides while we are away. She’s flexible, communicates and responds quickly and provides a loving environment. Can’t say enough good things about Kate!”
“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“Kyle took great care of our dog and kept us informed on how she was doing and how much fun she was having with his dog. We will definitely be trusting him with her again.”
“Wonderful experience for us and our dog. We worked with Brittany for our 2.5 year old Cockapoo on a recent 6 day vacation we had in July 2021. She has other dogs at home so our dog had companions. Our oldest daughter adores our dog beyond words and Brittany was great about texting updates on Bella's stay and sending photos the whole week so we could see how she was. She definitely got lots of love and attention and came home happy. Her communication with us was great and we would definitely use her again.”
“Brenna was super confident about taking care of my slow to warm up dog and I felt very reassured that he would be in good hands. She was patient with him and helped him eat which he can be hesitant to do, and send lots of pictures of him lounging at her house. He was very relaxed when I picked him up! Would definitely book again and I recommend Brenna for anxious dogs.”
“This is the second time we've used Emily and she is wonderful! Our dog Diego loves being there and playing with their dog Maggie. She sends the cutest photos and Diego is always exhausted when he comes home. Highly recommend!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Tracy. I was genuinely so nervous boarding my dogs for the first time, and from the very beginning she made me feel completely at ease. She was warm, patient, reassuring, and so communicative the entire time. What really stood out to me is how naturally comfortable my dogs were with her. You can tell she truly understands animals and cares about them like they’re her own. She sent updates and photos, answered my anxious first-time-boarder questions with so much kindness, and made the whole experience feel safe and personal. Finding someone you can actually trust with your dogs is huge, and Tracy is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Brittany and her husband were GREAT!! She watched our dog Tucker for a few days while we were moving. She kept us up to date on how he was doing, and followed all of our instructions caring for him. We really appreciated her flexibility in timing dropping him off and picking him up - we unexpectedly needed to extend our booking an extra night, and was happy to accommodate this last-minute. I recommend Brittany without reservation - we'll definitely be re-booking in the future!”
“Wes was wonderful with our dog Zoey! Zoey is a senior dog and needs a bit of extra attention, and Wes and his family gave her just that! Received photos throughout her stay, would definitely recommend & use again in the future.”
“Marina took good care of our pets and we could tell that she is definitely a dog person. We saw that both dogs were enjoying their cuddles in the picture we received. We are rarely separated from them, so it was nice to have no worries. Marina’s home is lovely and well equipped with pet toys and a feeding station. We noticed the surrounding grounds were nice for walking the dogs. We will rebook should the need arise.”
“Unfortunately my dog had some stomach issues ☹️ during his stay but Abigail handled it brilliantly making him chicken and rice and checking in with me. ❤️. Looking forward to rebooking with Abigail.”
About: Experience raising a puppy. I cater to pups of all sizes and energy levels. My dog is not in a crate but we did crate train him I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home most days. I anm available for potty breaks, walks, snuggles, or playing fetch. I have a large, unfenced yard but I do have a long lead we can use if necessary. I can use a crate if your dog is crate trained. I’m familiar to and accommodating of specialty diets. Rico and I love walks and running at the dog park down the road!
“First time using Rover, was in a bind and Brandi came through. Oakley loved it and felt at home with their family right away. She sent pictures and updates on how he’s doing. Very good and strongly recommended, if you’re in Carver, even a plus because Oakley does nothing like long car ride. Thank you Brandi...”
“Kona was well taken care of and was treated like part of the family while we were gone. Andrew provided regular updates and photos to let us know how it was going. I'd highly recommend him and will definitely book again.”
“I always worry when I leave Brandy somewhere and I can’t be with her. I had ZERO worries with Diana! She was also very accommodating with a last minute change. I received pictures periodically to see how Brandy was doing which was very nice as well. I will definitely be contacting Diana in the future!”

Frank, Clarissa and family were wonderful! We felt so comfortable leaving our dog in their care. They were incredibly prompt with communication and provided great updates while we were out of town. We could tell she warmed up to their family and got a lot of love from them while we were gone.
We were so lucky to find Kiersa. She took excellent care of our special needs dogs . She was able to accommodate a last minute schedule change. They got lots of TLC and were able to explore her yard and make themselves at home. Medications and dietary needs were handled perfectly.Communication was great!

There are 2,602 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Excelsior. About 91% of Excelsior 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
