“We absolutely loved having Darcie and her family watch Oliver! We got updates every day with several pictures or even a video, which made being away from him so much easier. It was clear from the moment we dropped him off that Oliver was being treated like part of the family, and he came home happy and well-loved. We are honestly obsessed with Darcie and her family and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be using Darcie again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love their dog like their own!”
“Emily's family took care of our dog Ramen for a week. Emily was very responsive to my messages and sent me several pictures. My dog had a great time playing with their dog and their little kids. Thank you so much!!”
“My wife and I were looking to find someone who cared as much as us for our dog. We found that with Trudy and her family. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to care for our dog. She sent us updates and photos that put us at ease knowing our dog was well cared for. I highly recommend Trudy and will definately use her in the future.”
“Kristen and her family were great. Invested time in helping my pup warm up. Cute pics. Easy to work with. Bailey clearly enjoyed from her demeanor when she came home. Looking forward to the next stay.”
“Nicole and David are so sweet and my dogs loved staying with them! Their two dogs are great with other dogs as well. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Lan was an excellent caretaker for Hazel. She sent photos upon request. Hazel loved playing with Lucy. We will definitely use her again when we're traveling.”
“Kirsten took such good care of Joey while we were gone. This was the first time that Kirsten watched Joey. Her dog and my dog had a great time playing with each other, and then Joey got to snuggle with Kirsten when he needed some human connection. She sent me daily updates and photos which was appreciated to know he was doing well away from home. I recommend Kirsten and will plan to book with her in the future.”
“Hollie communicates quickly and is flexible when scheduling visits. Nova always comes home happy and tired too. We will definitely have Hollie watch Nova again!”
“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”
“Dana, her husband and their sweet dog Teddy were wonderful with Mia! They took such great care of her. They send updates and pictures and I could tell that my dog was having a great time playing with her new friend Teddy!”
“Carrie is amazing! My second time using her, first time booking for dog sitting in her house. Millie seemed to have a great time. Great communication and I felt very comfortable leaving her with Carrie! Thank you so much!”
“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”
“Madeline always has a great time with Robert and his wife, we get updates and fun photos, and I know she’s well taken care of. She has stayed with Robert several times now and will again!”
“We are so happy with our decision to leave our two rescue pups with Mike. We were a bit nervous, as we had just moved from out of state and planned to leave the dogs for over 10 days while we were on an international trip. However, Mike put us completely at ease with a pre-trip meet N greet, plenty of photos, and lots of communication. Our dogs have very different personalities (one is very active, likes being outside, but doesn't really play with other dogs, and the other is a human cuddle bug and enjoys sunbathing and occasional tousles with other doggies) and both were happy and comfortable at Mike's. We have already booked him again!”
“Our standard poodle stayed with John and Teri earlier this year while we were gone for a long trip, and then again a second time this weekend. We know he is spoiled and loved and feels right at home both by the photos and updates John and Teri share as well as how our dog acts when we drop him off and pick him up. We are so grateful to know he is having a good time when we are gone! John and Teri are wonderful!”
“Both Jennifer and Jeremiah were super kind to Chotu. He was well taken care of and got lots of love from the sitters. We will definitely repeat them in the future. Got continuous photo updates too!!”
“Our entire family lives out of state, so Lynn really helped us out with last minute changes in our plans for the holiday! I can tell he had a good time and was well looked after. Thanks again, Lynn!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Inver Grove Heights is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Inver Grove Heights
Carrie Was GREAT! Kept us informed by text and pictures. Took Lucy, or dog, on walks, which Lucy loved. Was very accommodating when Lucy was not willing to eat her regular dog food. Instructed Carrie to give Lucy some of her favorite treats, which did the trick. When we went to pick Lucy up to go home, she jumped on Carrie to give a good bye, you know then that she felt at home with Carrie.
Emily, Tim and family did a great job taking care of Nieve. It was a last minute booking and I was really appreciative of them stepping up. Solid communication especially when Nieve wasn’t feeling well and Emily had to provide some extra care. Thank you so much.
Lucy loved her stay. James and Jennifer gave her so much attention, that when it was time to go home, so climbed back in their lap for more attention (petting). When she finally arrived back home, she was so tired that she needed to take a long nap (she usually has lots of energy).
Stacy and Michael are wonderful hosts! Their dog, Nina, is such a sweet girl and was great company for my Lyra! They watched her over the 4th of July weekend knowing my Lyra is a bit of a scardy pup. (She gets pretty spooked by fireworks and likes to go hide). They showed a lot of patience and kindness with her, even helped her get unstuck from one of her hiding places. When I arrived Lyra up, they were actively holding and comforting her. These two really care about their guests and I'm not going to hesitate to bring Lyra by again!
Leo had a great stay with Ashley and her family. We did a meet and greet and her dogs allowed Leo to be with them immediately. As best I can tell Leo loved his time there- he came home and was his ordinary self. Ashley had noticed him shaking at one point during his stay and then that it was raining- so Leo needed his med to calm down. It seemed like Leo was in a home were he was loved and accepted and comfortable. We are glad to have found Ashley.

94% of sitters in Inver Grove Heights 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.

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 Inver Grove Heights 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 Inver Grove Heights.
<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 Inver Grove Heights 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.
