“I am so glad we found Erin! She is very flexible and responsive and is wonderful with our dogs; giving them a lot of love and attention. They are excited to be there. The regular updates and photos are great. We will definitely use Erin again the next time we need to go out of town!”
“Robert was the perfect host for Bambi she was so well taken care of and I had so much peace of mind with him. Thank you so much for taking care of my girl!”
“Kira was a wonderful sitter and took great care of Mushu, I appreciated her frequent daily updates throughout the entire duration. Mushu got along well with her adorable dogs as well. Highly recommend her and will definitely have her look after Mushu again in the future. :) thank you Kira!!”
“This was our second time leaving our dog with Betsy, and once again, she did not disappoint. Our dog came back happy and clearly enjoyed the long stay. Betsy was fantastic at communicating with us throughout the stay, regularly sending pictures/videos showing what our dog was up to. :) Thank you Betsy! Would use Betsy again.”
“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 😆”
“Jack always has the best time with Colleen, Joe and Nico! And we always have peace of mind that he is so loved and well taken care of! Thanks again!!”
“Maria was AMAZING with my little Potato! For the first time, all our family and friends did not work out, so I found Rover and I was off to the races. I was so worried about leaving him with a veritable stranger for a week, but it worked out perfectly. Maria was good to meet at her place briefly before I booked just to make sure all was well, which of course it was. She sent so many pics and vids! It’s clear he spent plenty of time with the family, not sitting in a small space all day like he would have been if boarded elsewhere. She even took him on a walk one day when it was a little less deathly freezing out. Thank you so much Maria!”
“Wonderful sitter! My dog loved hanging out with Liam! Great sitter and great updates throughout the whole boarding time! Highly recommend! This is my first time using Rover, but because of Liam, I will for sure be using him and this site again! Thanks for an amazing first experience for both Max and I”
“Lan did a great job caring for Martha and Susan! The picture update was appreciated, but girls looked very happy. Lan’s dog, Lucy, was adorable and friendly.”
“Susan was fabulous with my Koda. She provided daily updates and pictures and Koda came home happy and tuckered out from all the fun. I would highly recommend Susan for your fur baby.”
“Dustin did a great job of taking care of Winnie! From the videos and pictures that Dustin sent, it looked like Winnie was having a great time and was being well cared for.”
“Brenda & family were amazing with Aspen. Aspen felt right at home and happy. I received regular updates and knew she was well taken care of. Highly recommended.”
“Promise took great care of my dog, he made friends with her dogs, and he looked great when we picked him up him up. Would definitely recommend her, and bring him back again!”
“Anika always provides peace of mind when watching my dog. She genuinely cares about making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’d absolutely continue using her services.”
“Sarah was very active and communicated well with me answering my questions and concerns. She was able to accommodate and accept my last minute request. Her family was also very friendly and helped us to watch our dog Enzo!! I highly recommend booking with Sarah.”
“We are so grateful for the care our girls received while at Bryan and Sean’s. We are fairly new to Minnesota and have been looking for a safe space for our dogs to land while we travel. This filled that need. They asked great questions initially and sent us pictures throughout their stay. At the end we got the sweetest card thanking us to our trust and we got the cutest printed pictures. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Minneapolis
Liam exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter! He went above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable in a new place and catered to him when he was resisting food. It was only our second time using Rover, but we never worried once because of Liam’s regular communication and pictures. We can tell our dog had a great weekend and felt very comfortable!! I’d highly recommend Liam.
Robert took great care of our very active berner puppy. He was a great communicator, so we never had to wonder how things were going. Auggie was very tired when he returned home, and clearly enjoyed all his playtime with Robert’s dogs. We will definitely book with Robert again.
Chris was absolutely amazing to my Frenchie, Phil! I got regular updates (pics & videos) and I know my little guy was showered with love and affection. Chris was very diligent about instructions for taking care of Phil and I could be at ease knowing Phil was safe and taken care of :)
Our dog had such a good time with Frances and her dog Luna that I am not sure he wanted to go home! Frances also sent us lots of updates and pictures and she really has thought of everything with logistics. We will definitely be looking her up in the future! It is so much easier to leave your dog when you know they are going to have an amazing time!
Colleen and Joe were outstanding dog-sitters and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with them. I had been really nervous to leave my dog with anyone other than family but they completely put me at ease. Colleen and Joe typically only board dogs under about 15 lbs because of the size of their senior dog, and that was a perfect fit. Mabel had an incredible time in their gorgeous home and made a great friend with Nico. I appreciated the updates and cute photos and felt super confident with their care. She normally has some separation anxiety but when pulling up to their house she jumped out of my car and pretty much made herself at home. Having trusted sitters makes such a difference and opens me up to be able to travel more. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Minneapolis on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,651 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.
