“We're so thankful for Caitlin and her ability to take our boy Yogi for a last minute overnight stay. She's patient and kind and didn't judge him at all for being so overexcited lol. We're so happy to have found Caitlin and will definitely trust her with our boy again.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Karlee was so patient with my nervous kitty! It was such a relief knowing he was somewhere safe, even if nervous. She gave him the affection/ pets he loves at his level of comfort. He got to be a bit spicy at the end of his visit, but that had nothing to do with her care. Thank you so much for watching him! The daily updates were so reassuring for me!”

About: Hi there! My name is Chloe, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I work at a veterinary hospital, which has given me valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. I know that pets are family, and I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing outside, getting plenty of cuddles, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they are! I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I’ll do my best to make sure they receive the attention, patience, and care they deserve. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I would love the opportunity to give you peace of mind while treating your furry family members like my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work full time but there is no shortage for of love for your pets! I will work around my work schedule to take care of your fur babies. My hours vary so I am able to make different times work out! I know that leaving your pet can be hard, which is why I want you to feel confident that they’re in good hands. I’d love to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and happiest. From keeping them company to sticking to their daily routines and giving them plenty of affection, I’ll treat your pets like my own!

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!

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 of Dog Boarding in Saint Cloud is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 114 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

99% of sitters in Saint Cloud can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Saint Cloud home-away-from-home, 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .

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.
