“Rosie was very happy at Kyle’s. We saw some sweet photos of her during her stay. We appreciated your flexibility in picking her up too. Thanks much. We will definitely request to rebook with Kyle.”
“Alyssa was wonderful to work with and an excellent host for Arya! She was always prompt in her communication, responding almost immediately. She kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout Arya's stay. Arya can be selective about who she bonds with, but she and Reese became fast friends. I highly recommend Alyssa and look forward to having Arya stay with her again in the future!”
“Great care and lots of play/walk time with updates and photos throughout, which was really appreciated. Loved that they had a couple other dogs there during the week so Henry could get a lot of stimulation/activity. I would love to use again.”
“We were very pleased with the care our dog received with Amy! She was great with communication and it was clear when we picked him up that he really enjoyed staying with her. We will definitely use her 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.”
“Milou had a wonderful time staying with Barbara and he was very well taken care of. Barbara was very easy to communicate with and she sent us lots of photos which we appreciated.”
“Joayne always takes great care of our dog. It’s so nice to not stress while we’re away since we know he’s in good hands with Joayne. Our dog loves when he goes to her place too!”
“Alvin had a fabulous time with Elsa and Nick. He learned how to go down stairs and jump onto the sofa. After 2 years I have never been able to teach hi. To see him happily descending stairs was a wonderful shock. It was wonderful to receive pictures, videos and updates daily. Alvin has only stayed away from me twice, and often ignores my visitors. So seeing how much he enjoyed his one on one pampering by Elsa and Nick was wonderful. I will be booking a date in May. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of him.”
“Brenda and her family were great hosts! Really nice to work with with two super sweet and well-behaved dogs of their own. My dog has become little shy recently around other dogs but I felt like she was in great hands while I was gone.”
“Kathleen was amazing with our doggy!! She kept great updates, photos and great communication during the stay. Would definitely recommend her and would use her services again. In the future.”
“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 🥰”
“Kiirsten was a great communicator before and during her care of my old, blind dog. I was confident that the dog was in a good place, which made my vacation stress free. Easy drop off and pick up. The experience couldn't have been better.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Mckenzie was great with our dog, helping her adjust after a stressful beginning. Communication and everything was wonderful. Definitely going to use her again. Thank you for taking excellent care of Dashy!”
“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!”
“Gave the rundown of everything my dog was needing and she was happy to do everything, with updates and pictures so you know your pup is well taken care of! When I went for pick up my pup was happy as can be! If you’re looking for a sitter Emily is the one!”
“Sarah and Paul are very nice and professional. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with them. I love their attentiveness to the needs of their pups and the routine they follow. Thank you, Sarah and Paul!”

Kaitlin was once again amazing with caring for our pup! This was his first multi-day boarding with Kaitlin & he looked so happy & at home in every vid & pic she sent us. It's great knowing that our dog is in good hands with Kaitlin, she's definitely my (& my dog's!) first choice for a petsitter.
Kara, Adam and family were amazing! Twyla got the best care and even surprised us by eating her full dinner and going on walks! As an anxious pup, we never know how she’ll respond to a new environment but she settled in like it was her own home and had an amazing time.
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.

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.
