Our pug LOVED his 4-day stay with Brenda and her family! Our little guy got along great with her two pit bulls and really bonded with their little boy. The dogs played and ran together in the fenced in yard. Our pug came home happy and ready to nap. Each day, I received a couple of photos with a brief update which I appreciated. This was a short-notice booking, and I am so grateful that Brenda was available. We will definitely arrange dog-sitting with Brenda in the future.

This was the best dog sitting experience I can imagine! Ellen was quick and clear in communication prior to booking and made it very easy when we decided to do a Meet and Greet. She went above and beyond to make things as simple as possible to accommodate my travel and preferences. Ellen sent the cutest pictures and updates while I was away, and it was clear my dog could not have been in better hands!

I felt very comfortable leaving my fur babies (2 Great Pyrenees) with Deborah while we were on vacation. You can tell that she has a lot of experience with dog care, and she was very attentive and caring with them. The dogs loved her deck and fenced in yard, and we loved the frequent updates and photos. We will definitely be reaching out to Deborah for dog boarding during our next getaway.

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!

Ashley did a wonderful job watching my goldendoodle Crosby! She sent an update and/or picture everyday to let us know what kind of activities they got up to each day. I was very happy with how much exercise she gave Crosby, sometimes I was worried that he was having so much fun that he wouldn't even want to come home! Knowing that Crosby was in such good hands with Ashley while I was gone gave me a lot of peace of mind.

Trudy and her husband were so great with Cici. You can tell that she's a great caretaker because her dog Archie is so sweet as well. Cici spent so much time playing with Archie and outside, which was perfect for him. It can be so hard to tire out a Blue Heeler, but my furry son always comes home pooped and content. It's an open environment with a very clean setting, and a very knowledgeable owner who is focused on not only making sure your pet is safe and taken care of, but also comes home a better dog.

Catherine was excellent with our dog Misiu! She was incredibly attentive, and sent lots of photos and videos throughout our vacation. She allowed him to snuggle with her in bed, which he’s used to. That was very much appreciated. We will definitely rebook with Catherine. Misiu was a happy boy the entire time, we weren’t missed 😆

Jenny and Mark were fantastic with Obi and our first time using Rover. They made me feel 100% comfortable with leaving Obi with them for the first time ever, and communication was open and reassuring. I received several updates while on our trip and found Obi very happy and comfortable staying with them. Will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future!

Robert was the BEST Rover we have ever had!!! I cannot recommend him enough 😃 Our dog, Archie, had a great time staying with him and got lots of love, attention, and walkies 🐾 Robert sent such fun updates, pictures, and videos that we loved getting and made us smile so much while away from our little guy 🤍 We will definitely be booking with him anytime we need to board Archie again in the future. I would give him 10 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Andrea was amazing and so accommodating! She was able to handle our wild pup with ease and clearly has a lot of experience with dogs! She brought our dog to the park and would exercise her better than we probably even do (even though we bring her to the park for about 2 hours and go on long walks)! I would definitely recommend and would book with her again!

This was our second time boarding Maya with John and Joanna. We were so lucky to find an opening in their schedule and we didn’t hesitate to have Maya board with them. They are incredibly warm and loving people and you can tell they really care about your dog. They took our pup on walks and gave her lots of outside time and took such good care of her! They send us such great pictures and two videos of them feeding her cucumbers which made our hearts melt. We feel so safe and comfortable having them take care of our dog and know we will be back! :) thank you!!

Kari and Brian are absolutely the best!!! They cared for Jackson (our high energy husky mix) for 4 nights as though he was truly part of their family. They walked him multiple times per day and sent photos and updates regularly to reassure us while we were away. They also brought Jackson home for us the night of our return. We HIGHLY recommend them for dog care! 🐕

Our dog was SO well taken care of by Brenna. It's obvious that Brenna loves dogs - our dog benefited from plenty of exercise, affection, and fun. Lastly, communication was excellent. We hope that we'll be able to leave our pup with Brenna again the next time we leave town.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Mendota Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Mendota Heights on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,599 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mendota Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

95% of Mendota Heights sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Mendota Heights landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mendota 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 Mendota Heights.

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.

You and your Mendota 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.
