“Our pug LOVED his 4-day stay with Brenda and her family! Our little guy got along great with her two pit bulls and really bonded with their little boy. The dogs played and ran together in the fenced in yard. Our pug came home happy and ready to nap. Each day, I received a couple of photos with a brief update which I appreciated. This was a short-notice booking, and I am so grateful that Brenda was available. We will definitely arrange dog-sitting with Brenda in the future.”
“Bowie was great with our French Bulldog. He took extra care for her during this past hot spell and sent daily updates and pictures. It is clear he is truly committed to the animals he cares for.”
“can't say enough about the care that my dog Moose got from KiirstenC while I traveled over the holiday. ! It was our first experience with Rover. Moose was well fed, played with, snuggled, and truly loved by Kiirstenn and her family. She sent me texts and pictures while I was gone updating me on his activities. Moose is a Shih Tzu, Kiirsten's dog is also a Shih Tzu. She gets us! I can honestly say that I did not worry about Moose all the while I was gone. I would call upon Kiirsten to leave Moose with whenever I need to travel again, knowing he is loved and well taken care of when I cant be with him.”
“Incredible dog sitter! She watched my Charles while I was on my honey moon and took great care of him. She sent daily updates and photos during my dog’s stay which put my separation anxiety at ease. I will absolutely use her again when we go out of town.”
“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!!”
“We highly recommend Doc & Heather! We have hired them MANY times to board our dog, Chloe. They have hosted her for longer weekend getaways and some 14-day vacations. They are flexible, nurturing dog lovers! Chloe can be anxious adjusting to changes but she runs into Doc's back yard and feels right at home. We love getting photos of Chloe hanging out in their fenced-in yard or lazing around comfortably in their house. She is relaxed and calm when we pick her up. We truly appreciate having Doc & Heather's service nearby. They are amazing. 5 STARS!!!”
“Eric and Martha are AMAZING!!! Crue and Cali had the best time cuddling up with them, playing in the yard, taking daily walks and more ☀️ I loved the frequent photos and videos to see how much fun they were having. It was such a peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were on vacation. We can’t wait to see them again next time 🥰”
“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!”
“We continue to count on Suzie to care for our dog… she is the best! Our dog just loves it. We bring our dog to her often, and it’s so nice knowing that he’s cared for so well.”
“Our two girls, Artemis and Freyja, seemed to have a great time at Mckenzie's place. We received pictures and updates which made us feel better about leaving them.”
“Wesley was fantastic with our dog while for four nights of boarding. He was exceptionally good at communicating, sending updaters with photos, and making us feel at ease even though we hadn’t worked with Wesley before. It was so lovely to pick our pup up from Wesley where he was smiling and clearly well cared for! We will definitely ask Wesley to help again in the future.”
“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.”
“Hannah was wonderful to work with, from meet-and-greet to drop off to pick up. My dog didn’t want to leave her place and then slept for five straight hours when we got home. Will definitely book again - thank you!”
“I highly recommend Jessie. She was so great to our dog Ivy; she took her on walks, car rides, to Bachman's, and gave Ivy treats (approved by us). Jessie sent us updates every single night with lots of pictures. Ivy definitely missed Jessie once she got back home 🥰”
“I will definitely be going to Lizzy for any services again!! She made sure to update me everyday and really made the pups were happy while my partner and I were away (:”
“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.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Minneapolis is $45

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 :)

There are 2,712 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.

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.
