“Erin was a great pet sitter for our Bernese Mountain Dog. She accepted our meet and greet request right away and we were happy with Erin, her dog Eggie and her home and fenced yard. Erin did a great job providing us with regular updates and photos. She was also flexible with changes to our travel plans. We recommend Erin if you are looking for a dog sitter in the metro area.”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Maria was the best sitter we could have found for Luna. We were always receiving pictures and video of how much fun our dog was having. She always looked extremely happy, well taken care of and loved. Communication was excellent, sitter was gracious, the house and backyard were big and spacious. Maria is our official doggy sitter.”
“Colleen and Joe took amazing care of our dog, Tobi! I felt very comfortable, leaving him in their care. They even went above and beyond to send pictures and give Tobi a bath after a long day outside. Will absolutely use them in the future!”
“Jacquie and her husband were awesome to my nervous and energetic pup! They took the time to understand what he needed to feel comfortable and he came home tired after a weekend of play! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Annette is a great sitter who shared lots of updates and pictures. She took our dog on plenty of walks, and clearly gave her a ton of love. We look forward to using her services in the future.”
“This is the longest I've ever left Mia and I did not want to board her at a kennel for 12 nights. Lan kept me updated with pictures and videos that made me relax and enjoy my vacation more knowing she was well taken care of and had a buddy to play with too. Thanks Lan!”
“My dog Dora is a former stray and I am always nervous to leave her with non-family members who don’t know her quirks. Dora did great at Betsy’s and I was able to enjoy my family vacation knowing Dora was safe and happy! I will definitely be using her as a Rover again!”
“As a pet owner who is very attached to her dog, I can say that Reachel has been a wonderful sitter during Milo’s stay at her home. She truly cares about animals and their well being. I would trust her to care for our dog again without any second thought. She understands animals and their needs. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“This is our 2nd time leaving our dog with Kira. We were very happy with the care given to Milo. She kept us updated on day to day with pics. Highly recommend Kira for anyone who need best care for their dog.”
“Catherine was absolutely wonderful! This was Zuri's first time staying away from home and Catherine went above and beyond to make her feel at home. Catherine sent daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated, and lots of special treats and special love were given. Zuri also enjoyed having another dog to play with, as she is an only child. I would highly recommend Catherine and will definitely use her again.”
“Kyle provided a comfortable stay for my dog Len's first Rover experience. Even though it was a pretty short stay it was so nice to get pictures and an update on how Len was doing. Will definitely be using Kyle again!”
“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!”

“Eric and Martha were so great with our dog Charlie! They were very attentive to his needs and loved him like their own. They sent daily photo and video updates while we were away to keep us connected. We're so relieved and happy that Charlie has a great place to stay in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Minneapolis
Molly was terrific and I'd highly recommend her! Nova received a daily walk each morning and evening and was clearly well cared for throughout her weeklong stay. We received daily photos showing Nova living the good life: walking, checking out some Minneapolis sights, cuddling on the couch for movie night, hanging out on the balcony, napping in her dog bed; just like part of the family. Also, Molly was very responsive on all communications from scheduling a meet and greet through final pickup.
We boarded our cat and dog with Celia for over 2 weeks and it couldn't have been better. Celia has a clean and inviting home with cameras and a separate cat room with a/c. Celia sent daily updates and pictures and celebrated our dogs birthday for us since we were gone. We felt confident an safe with Celia and will be using her services in the future.
Lizzy was phenomenal! My wife and I were out of the country for 9 days. This was the first time we left our dog, Lemon, for more than one night, and we were very nervous. But Lizzy was so great with Lemon. We got frequent updates and could tell from the pictures that he was settling right in. We felt comfortable knowing Lemon was well taken care of and shown so much love while we were away. 100% would book again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Minneapolis on Rover is $44.13 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,650 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Minneapolis. 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.
94% of Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis.
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 Minneapolis 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.
