“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!”
“I cannot say enough nice things about Amy. She always takes such great care of my pup. He comes home exhausted from all the playing and activities. She goes out of her way to do the silly things I like to do for my dog. Highly recommended!”
“Good communication and friendly. Our dog was happy and well-cared for. He also spent time with two kids in the house, and they were very respectful of him; playing and loving on him.”
“Kara and Adam were amazing! I was a little leery about leaving my pup at someone else’s house for the first time, but I could tell Tupelo was in good hands and she had a blast! Kara is great about sending pictures and updates along the way, so I could see all the love and attention they were giving Tupelo. Kara, Adam, Oscar and family were awesome with Tupelo and I hope to become a regular patron of theirs in the future!”
“Elsa is absolutely fantastic! It was my first time using rover and I was overwhelmed on who to pick and anxious on who the right person would be. And I chose Elsa, And when I tell you all of my stress and worries went away when they stayed with her, She sent daily pictures which was very helpful. If you are looking for a great, Loving babysitter for your babies. Elsa is the one!! 10000000/10✨”
“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.”
“Maisey settled right in, they took such good care of her. She was comfortable and cuddling immediately!! They accommodated me last minute and I was so fortunate to find them!”
“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.”
“Based on the pictures that I received, my dog Lola was in good hands while I was away. Lola was quite exuberant upon meeting Eli and Emily but fortunately this did not faze them. Lola settled in, became part of the family and returned to her couch potato ways. Thank you both for caring for my furry four legged companion!”
“Barbara took great care of our dog while we were away for a week! Even helped him get through some digestive issues and provided regular updates throughout his stay. We will happily send Louis over again!”
“Maya had a great stay with Kiirsten. Drop off and pick up were very smooth. We got multiple updates each day and lots of pictures. We’ll definitely use Kiirsten again.”
“Our pup had so much fun at McKenzie's house! She took such great care of him and I didn't worry at all about him while we were gone. I will definitely use McKenzie again in the future!”
“Susan was a wonderful dog sitter, I could not have had a better experience! She updated me throughout the week and I knew my dog was safe and well cared for. Thank you!!”
“Susan & Craig are the best! I love the communication and daily pictures of Dakota. I felt relax knowing Dakota was in a great care. I would definitely rebook if Susan & Craig are available for any future trips!”
“We have two high energy Standard Poodles - a 2 and a 1 year old - who stayed with Lisa for two nights. We booked this at the last minute because our original provider had to cancel. Lisa was great with our dogs even though they’d never met her before. She knows how to connect & establish a relationship - even with our timid one year old. Lisa communicates clearly about arrangements and sent us photos and videos too. We’ll happily use her again!”
“Sarah and her husband Paul did a wonderful job caring for our pup. Sarah is communicative, dog savvy, and easy to work with. She even adjusted his walk schedule on account of the heat wave. Our boy enjoyed his time hanging out with Sarah’s family, and I would feel confident booking again. Thanks, Sarah!”
“Howie and his wife took wonderful care of our 9-month-old puppy, Dexter. This was our first time boarding Dexter, so we were, admittedly, a little nervous about leaving him anywhere. Howie took the role of watching Dexter seriously, and we felt good about leaving Dexter with him. His professionalism and thorough communication eased our nerves. We know Dexter had a wonderful time because he came home a happy and tired pup! We will certainly use Howie again in the future and know Dexter will be excited about it, too. :)”
“Alyson was so great! It was my first time using rover and did a five day stay for my large dog who takes medicine regularly. She immediately put me at ease and answered all of my questions. She has a great yard space for the dogs to go out, and had space inside for my large crate. She sent me an update on how my dog was settling in and doing, and I was able to relax on my vacation.”
“Kevin did an excellent job watching my dog Freddie for the weekend. He sent me lots of pictures throughout the day of Freddie playing with his pal Charlotte. I highly recommend Kevin and plan to have Freddie stay with him whenever I am out of town. ”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Minneapolis is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Minneapolis
Robert was amazing with our pup! He not only agreed to care for our Josie girl extremely last minute, but rearranged his entire day to help my partner and I with her. She is a little bit high maintenance and he put our minds completely at ease while she was in his care. He sent plenty of updates, and communicated with us throughout the weekend so we could enjoy our time without having to worry about her. We will definitely be booking with Robert again whenever we’re in town and would recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur baby. It was evident she enjoyed her time with him when we picked her up 🤣 thank you Robert!
Gabrielle and Tommie took wonderful care of our dog over a long weekend! Gabrielle is very quick to respond to messages and sent us several photos of Marty during his stay. He was clearly having a wonderful time and they even filled up a kiddie pool for him to play in on a hot day! We would love for our dog to stay with them again in the future!
Sophia cared for my cat for almost two weeks in her home while I was on vacation. She sent me daily updates and was open to sending even more upon request. I especially loved the pictures she sent of my cat enjoying her stay! Her home was a perfect sanctuary for all cats with the private room but also the ability to roam throughout the rest of the house. I will definitely be using Sophia again for pet care and would highly recommend her to anyone!
Ryan was great from the first day I reached out. He took great care of Pops during an extended trip. Tons of communication and multiple daily pictures. It's always hard to leave our pets and he made it as easy and comfortable as possible. Pops came back just as happy and healthy after 2.5 weeks. I will definitely reach out to Ryan again.
Yidan is absolutely wonderful! We were quite nervous because our dog, Oona, has separation anxiety and was also recovering from her spay surgery. But Yidan handled everything perfectly. What surprised us the most was how quickly Oona warmed up to her-she usually takes a long time to trust new people, so seeing her bond with Yidan right away was amazing. Yidan was incredibly punctual, attentive to all the post-op care instructions, and just an absolute joy to work with. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend her!
Jolene was amazing!! We went abroad for our wedding and Jolene came to the rescue of our Frankie girl. She sent plenty of updates and photos to keep our anxiety at bay! She was in great care and we could tell Frankie had a great time. Will absolutely be using Jolene again the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Minneapolis on Rover is $43.29 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 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 2,755 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Minneapolis. About 92% 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.
