“Deneen and her husband were both so kind and took incredible care of my two dogs (one of them a senior). She was always very quick to respond to any questions I had and sent daily pictures while I was away. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“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 ❤️”
“Dustin was great, and my dog Rooney had a fantastic time! Dustin was communicative and it was so nice to get a video or pic every day. We’ll definitely book again :)”
“Jessie was great! She watched my two dogs Violet and Kala and they had a great time and got lots of snuggles. She gave me updates and pictures everyday which really helped put me at ease while I was away.”
“Andrew always takes great care of Treacle. We receive frequent updates with photos and videos of her playing and resting. She always has so much fun and looks forward to her next stay!”
“Promise took such great care of my dog, Toro! I received multiple VERY cute photos and videos throughout his stay and he looked like he was having a great time. He loves other dogs and was delighted to get to play with other dogs Promise was caring for. We will definitely bring Toro to her again next time we need a sitter!”
“This is a very welcoming, pet loving home. I especially like that she doesn't care for many pets at the same time. Your fenced backyard is a real bonus and my dog loves being able to run and play in the snow. My dog is family and she spent a week at Barbara's and it was by far the best boarding experience we've ever had.”
“Valentina did such a wonderful job taking care of our corgi! She sent daily updates and always responded promptly. She spoiled our corgi with walks across the stone arch bridge and many tummy rubs.”
“Our 10 month old puppy spent a great week with Howie and his wife! Howie was very easy (and quick!) to communicate with before and during her stay. We appreciated the daily updates and pics. You could tell she was truly treated as part of the family and well cared for. We would recommend Howie to others and would definitely have Rory stay again!”
“Emily and her son took excellent care of our dog! She sent me pictures and updates throughout our vacation. I know I didn't have to worry about our dog in her care!”
“Carolina was fantastic! Archie loved his stay with her & I was so happy with all the photo updates she sent me. Carolina is also very quick to respond, which is super appreciated!”
“Doc was fantastic. My dog is a rescue and can be very shy, but he was happy and comfortable with Doc. The pictures and updates also made me feel comfortable. I consider Doc to be a great option if I am out of town again. Thanks Doc!”
“Sarah and her family were wonderful, they took great care of Indy. I received updates and felt like Indy was getting a great experience staying with them. I will absolutely ask Sarah to watch Indy again!”
“Erin & Ramon were great! My senior dog had a ball with them I appreciated her asking if he played well with other dogs before accepting another dog booking while watching mine. I would definitely book them again in the future.”
“Bryan took excellent care of our energetic puppy! She went for walks, played with other dogs- she clearly got plenty of exercise. We really appreciated the photo updates throughout the weekend. We will definitely book with Bryan again!”
“Wes was wonderful with our dog Zoey! Zoey is a senior dog and needs a bit of extra attention, and Wes and his family gave her just that! Received photos throughout her stay, would definitely recommend & use again in the future.”
“Judy did a nice job with our Maui. Our daughter dropped her off for us and said Maui immediately jumped on the couch to sit next to her. We got some pictures and updates about her stay with Judy. Thanks for taking care of her so well. Judy”
“Mazzie had a great stay with Jennifer! She loved her like Mazzie was her own dog. She messaged us with updates several times during the week and thanked us for allowing her to love Mazzie! ❤️”
“Briana took good care of my cat, Oni, for ten days in her home. He came home well adjusted and calm! Briana always communicated well and sent me photos and videos of Oni daily. So grateful for her care!”

My cat, Tina, had a wonderful time during her stay with Celia. Everything was easy and effortless, and Celia was very generous with photos and updates about all the things Tina was up to on any given day during her stay. I already want to go on another trip somewhere so I can use Celia again.
This is our 2nd time having Sophia care for our sweet kitty Coco and would never hesitate to do so in the future. She is so well cared for and we always love getting all the updates and pictures. Thank you for making our vacations a little easier knowing that Coco loves going on her own mini vacation at Sophia’s.
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.
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 Pet Boarding in Minneapolis on Rover is $43.27 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 2,717 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Minneapolis. About 91% of Minneapolis sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
