“Kay and family was definitely a godsend in my last minute attempt to find care for my dog, Henry. Daily updates with pictures and videos and great communication helped me relax knowing he was in good hands. My dog has special needs in the center where he has attachment issues and there was always somebody home at Kay‘s house to be with Henry and her family is just as calming and sweet as what you would picture from her description and photos. Not only a great dog sitter but an amazing human being in life! Can’t thank you all enough!”
“Ramanda did an amazing job taking care of our two pups for us! She communicated often with great photos. The dogs were happy and her kids were so great with them! We will definitely book with her again!”
“My dogs were so excited to spend time at Ambers and very happy upon returning. They got a lot of attention, played hard and were well cared for. Amber was very prompt in communicating and flexible with drop off and pick-up times. Five stars!”
“We had a great experience with Yuliya! Yuliya was caring for 3 other dogs at the same time as ours, but they were all about the same size and Yuliya took that into consideration when accepting other dogs. Our dog, Ellie, seemed to have a ton of fun with the other pups! She was always running around and happy in pictures. Well definitely be using Yuliya again!”
“Maureen was absolutely fantastic! She sent us pictures every day and reassured us our dog was having a great time. Would absolutely recommend her as a sitter any time”
“Rene was terrific with my dog King. He had never been anywhere overnight before except with family members so I was a little nervous because he doesn’t do well with strangers. Rene won his confidence and mine. Thanks Rene.”
“My dog Murphy was happy. Communication with Meghann was clear with the updates/questions/requests and she always responded quickly. Predictable and calm environment. I am happy to have someone now in the Otsego area available I can rely upon!”
“Lori watched our fur baby, Nala, for a week while we were out of state. Lori is so kind and kept us informed on a daily basis with photos and messages. Nala was smiling in all of the photos as she was happy and fit right into Lori's family loving on her. We definitely recommend Lori to others and will use her again.”
“Tanya and Scott take great care of Lucky. They are very respectful and quick to communicate. It is nice to be able to leave for the holidays and know that Lucky is having fun and getting super care.”
“Julie and Bryson were amazing sitters for our two dogs during our weekend trip!! They were extremely friendly, kind, and attentive to our needs. They were also very flexible and accommodating to our schedule. Our dogs seemed to have really enjoyed their home and family. We highly recommend them and will definitely be back!”
“This was my dog’s fourth stay, and once again they were amazing. They take such great care of her, and I always feel completely at ease knowing she’s with them.”
“Manami was wonderful to communicate with and i appreciated the updates she provided while Judy was in her care. Judy appeared to have a great time. I greatly appreciated Manami being able to take Judy on short notice and was easy to work with in terms of drop off and pick up times. Highly recommend her.”
“Nickolai was very communicative and responsive. We received pictures of our girl and updates throughout her stay with Nickolai. The home has a very large fenced-in backyard which our dog enjoyed immensely. We mentioned that our dog is accustomed to going on walks and Nickolai was kind enough to take her out for walks around the neighborhood.”
“Jared + Tayler were wonderful! We had a last minute need for our pup and they were very responsive and accommodating. Great communication and comfortable home for a stay away from home.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! William took such amazing care of our pup—he slept soundly, got plenty of walks, and was treated like family. William was incredibly thoughtful, even sending him home with a sweet gift bag, a magnet with his picture, and a heartfelt card. We felt so at ease knowing our dog was in such loving and attentive hands. Highly recommend William to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like their own. Thank you so much!”
“Alisha and Cameron took such great care of our dog Bear! He was so happy at their house. They provided lots of updates and pictures. I know he got lots of love. They have been our favorite Rover family to date!”
“Dee Dee was absolutely amazing with Mali!! It was the first time in the 6 years I’ve had Mali that we were separated. Mali had some anxiety and developed stress colitis while I was gone. Dee Dee was diligent in watching her and even taking her to the vet due to some symptoms. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better!! Thank you SO much for taking great care of my baby girl while I was away!!”

Jennifer and her family were great to work with. She was a lifesaver for accommodating our last minute request. Max was safe and comfortable throughout his stay and had fun all day with Jennifer and her dogs. Great communication and a smooth booking process. Thank you Jennifer!
Rachel and Hunter took incredible care of Lucia while I was traveling. Rachel sent daily updates and photos, and it was obvious Lucia was enjoying herself. Rachel even brought her along while running errands, and before I picked her up, Hunter took her on a long walk so she’d be relaxed and happy for me when I got home from my trip. I couldn’t have asked for better care — I’ll definitely be booking with them again.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Saint Michael is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $60 per night.

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.
94% of sitters in Saint Michael 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 Michael 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 Michael.
<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 Michael 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.
