“Chris has been very communicative. She sent frequent updates with pictures about how our little lady was doing. She was very accommodating to our little dog’s needs. We ran into a few hiccups returning from the airport during bad winter weather and Chris was incredibly understanding. Yes, Chris made my experience very pleasant. Yet, most importantly after 9 days I came home to a happy, well adjusted puppy! This speaks for itself. As a Shorkie our puppy is sensitive to separation anxiety. Being with Chris she definitely got all the attention and love that is used to getting at home. I am so grateful for having peace of mind that our puppy is well taken care of while we are traveling. I will definitely check with Chris first when looking for boarding our little lady again.”

“Sadie, a yellow Labrador husky dog, got to spend some quality time with people and came back happy and content, & slept as soundly as I have ever seen. Crystal (the dog-sitter) said Sadie did well with the children and left the infants alone, so that went well. I was grateful Crystal allowed the dog to interact with the kids and even come into the house. I wasn't quite sure whether Sadie would behave. She did grab items off shelves, a habit I am trying to bring under control, but the dog interacted normally with the people in the house and that went very well. I was very grateful to have found a good home where Sadie felt comfortable staying. The dog-boarding went even better than I had expected! I really appreciate Crystal's kind and caring attitude toward the dog-boarding and will definitely look her up for Sadie the next time I need to find Sadie a place to stay.”

“Heather was so accommodating on such short notice. Her dog Aggie is such a sweetheart and they welcomed my Maggie and she immediately felt at home. She was checking things out so quickly when sometimes she can be really shy around other dogs and people, especially ones she's just met. Heather sent pictures of Maggie to me throughout the weekend so i could see how she was doing. I would definitely recommend Heather to anyone that loves to know their fur baby is in good hands when in need a dog sitter.”

She took the time to understand my dog’s personality and needs. My dog was very cheerful after the time spent at Jill’s and her family (including their cute dog). Would Definitely recommend!”

“This was our 15 month old ShihPoo’s first overnight with a pet sitter. Mary Beth went the extra mile to make sure Ollie was comfortable, including a meet-and-greet the week of the stay. She provided lots of walks, some pics, and outside time with her own dog and family. Mary Beth and her family also comforted Ollie through his first thunderstorm! I highly recommend her for bookings!”

Renee was amazing with my puppies! She was very flexible, and took very good care of my boys. I loved getting a couple updates and pictures of them through their stay overnight as well as a fun puppy report card when I pick them up that detailed their meals, sleep, mood, all the things you want to know when you leave your fur babies with someone! Would recommend her again to anyone!

Grace was absolutely amazing while she watched our dog! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. Grace kept us updated throughout the stay with regular messages and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She truly welcomes your dog as if they were one of her own, and it's clear how much she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. She is incredibly professional, kind, and trustworthy, and we never had to worry for a second. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for exceptional dog care. We will definitely be using her again in the future!

Heather was quick to respond to my urgent overnight request for my golden doodle Finn. She was available for a last minute meet and greet which reassured me that Finn would be in good hands. Finn warmed up to her and her family quickly. I’m always nervous leaving Finn with someone I don’t know but i felt comfortable leaving Finn with Heather after our meet and greet. She sent a few pics and communicated how Finn was doing within 1-2 hours of me dropping him off. I will definitely ask Heather to watch Finn again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Saint Cloud

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Saint Cloud on Rover is $38.85 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 118 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Saint Cloud. 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.

100% of Saint Cloud 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 Saint Cloud 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 Saint Cloud 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 Saint Cloud.

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 Saint Cloud 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.
