“Erin was fantastic as a caregiver for our dog Riley. We felt he was getting the best of her attention and care. She was very prompt in communication and sent us multiple photos each day. I would absolute use her as our Rover provider again.”
“Robert was such a great dogsitter that when I went to pick my dog up he just turned around and walked back into Robert's house! I think he would have stayed forever. I got regular updates with pictures and video and everything seemed to go really well. Would absolutely book Robert again!!”
“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.”
“Tim is awesome! He took such great care of our dog Neo for the two weeks we were away and sent us regular updates, photos and videos. Tim went above and beyond to make sure Neo was happy, well-adjusted and well-fed (picky eater). Tim takes fantastic photos (instantly became the kids' screen savers) and even printed one up for us to take home along with a toy for Neo. Highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for an amazing dog-sitter. We plan to book him for future boarding.”
“Liam was great with the doggies, he had great communication and sent us updates daily. We're very grateful and will be surely keep looking for him in future trips”
“This was our first booking with Jacquie and Kyle and we felt super comfortable leaving our dog for 10 days with them. We got lots of picture updates and she was clearly very happy and entertained and enjoyed playing with the other two dogs they were concurrently boarding. We’ll definitely rebook if the need arises again.”
“Best dog sitter ever! My two dogs loved their time here. She took them to the dog park plenty of times, reached out with concerns and provided pictures and videos. I would love to leave them with her anytime I need to!”
“Colleen and Joe were so wonderful to our little guy. He was with them for an extended stay while we were out of the country and they sent daily updates and photos, which really put us at ease. When we picked him up, we could tell he loved his stay with them and was right at home. We know Dezi can’t wait for future visits with his new friends.”
“Lan was an amazing dog sitter. This is my first time using Rover, and to be honest, my first time leaving my dog with anyone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a bit nervous. Lan was friendly and helpful and sent pictures of Zoey about an hour after I left which help put my mind at ease. Over all a really good experience.”
“Rachel is a great sitter for our dog. She texts us photos and updates. We have used her for short and long trips. We often plan our trips around when Rachel is free.”
“Hannah is amazing! We've left our girl with her twice now, and she took really good care of her and adapted to her needs for 100%! Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back ❤️”
“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!”
“Our dogs had the BEST time with Eric and Martha. They went above and beyond, making sure the pups had plenty of long walks in the park and spending multiple hours outside with them each day. They even bought some chicken and rice to feed to one of our girls who has a nervous stomach and doesn’t eat well in new places. We will definitely be booking with them again the next time we go out of town!”
“This was my first time leaving my pup with anyone other than friends/family and Kevin made our stay so easy. He was communicative and took great care of my little guy and I couldn't have asked for a better first dog sitting experience!”
“Our pup made herself right at home and was well cared for by Joayne and her kiddos. Easy to communicate with her and convenient pick up on the home from the airport. I would be happy to have our pup stay here again!”
“Mack had a fantastic long weekend at Kara and Adam's house! Reservations and meet-up were a breeze and Kara's communication was timely and did a lot to calm our nerves around being away from Mack for the first time; pictures were an awesome bonus. Will definitely book again.”
“Hather had an amazing time with Kyle, who took the best care of our big old guy and was attentive to his needs. Thanks Kyle for making a home-away-from-home for our dog!”
“Amy loves dogs and treats my dog Max like family. I know he gets sad when I drop him off but I know she does her best to keep him happy and loved and I really appreciate it!”

Thank you so much, Liam, for taking such wonderful care of Skooty and Maisie. I truly appreciate all the time, attention, and hard work you put into caring for them, especially considering Skooty’s medical needs. This was their first time away from home, and you made them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Just as importantly, you made me feel completely at ease leaving them with you, which meant so much. I can't thank you enough for going the extra mile by bringing them home to me after my delayed evening flight. That level of kindness and dedication is rare, and I truly appreciate it.
Angelica and her brother were amazing. I had a last minute booking and they happily accommodated Mulligan for a few days. Super responsive and lots of photos, videos, and even took him to get a treat to bring home. Long walks, splashed in the lake, and a few trips to his favorite stores made for an activity filled weekend. He didn’t wanna leave when I came back so he clearly loved his stay. We’re both excited for his next visit. Thank you, Angelica!!
Abby was absolutely AMAZING with our golden retriever Otto. We got frequent photos and updates - she also takes the cutest photos! Otto had a great time. Despite the heat over the last week, she got him out as much as possible for walks and adventures!! We will definitely be using Abby again in the future!!
This was our first time using Hannah, and she was wonderful! From the very start, she was very quick to respond and set up a meet & greet. My dog has a bit of anxiety which always makes me a little nervous to leave him with new people, but he did great. She administered meds with no issues and communicated with me about a possible situation early on, that fortunately turned out to be just fine. She sent me the perfect amount of updates and photos throughout the stay, and provided safe and comfortable care for my dog. We will definitely use Hannah again in the future!
Rachel was so flexible when our planned sitter cancelled last minute, our dog spent 5 days at her place. Our dog was loving his time there, and we received plenty of updates- you could tell that she takes the time to understand and adapt care for our dog. We could not recommend Rachel more, and are already planning to use her in the future- genuinely a great experience!

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.
