“I’ve never left my dog with a stranger, so I was apprehensive about leaving him with Robin, but she was great! She sent me text messages and pictures every other day. My dog seemed really content when I picked him up! I will definitely use Robin again and recommend her to friends!”
“Very nice and communicative! Rubal was very responsive and kept me updated with my pets care. She was very reassuring if a question or concern would arise, it was resolved in a timely manner and with care. Her family was also very kind. Would gladly book again!!”
“Rachel, and her amazing family, are fantastic with our dog Lucky. It doesn't matter size or breed, Rachel treats them like family members. They have plenty of outside space for playtime and a cozy living room for the pups, even when it's is freezing cold or extremely hot. Your dog will be on vacation when they stay at Rachel's! 10 stars!!”
“Chris was great!! He had no problem showing us where Daisy would be staying, sent us updates and pictures. Daisy was very happy when she came home, with other sitters/kennels she would be sad for 2-3 days. Will definitely be using again!!”
“Copper had so much fun- I know he especially liked snuggling with Lucy. Brook was great and even dropped Copper off at home-she was flexible for schedule changes too!”
“Everything was great. I appears that my dog Jake like it there. He got a lot of attention. It also appears that Sheila and her husband enjoyed having Jake at their house for six overnights. Sheila sent me a lot of pictures and kept me informed about how Jake was doing. Sheila said that she primarily takes small dogs, but that she will occasionally take a big dog like Jake (Lab), as long as the big dog is well behaved. I believe that Jake was well behaved at her house. I will have to check with Sheila to see if she will take him again in the future.”
“We are so grateful for Joseph and his family for their care in watching our dog, Jack. On the day we were to drop Jack off to Joseph, Jack had an accident where she required veterinary care. Joseph was still willing to accept Jack and administer antibiotics and pain medication for a week while we were traveling. Joseph sent daily pictures and provided updates so we felt more at ease. Joseph and his entire family show care and love when Jack really needed it. I fully recommend them. Thank you.”
“Harley was exhausted after his stay with Deborah & Jeffrey as he was probably playing non-stop! Deborah put my mind at ease that Harley was being loved on with frequent photo updates of Harley. This was my first time leaving Harley and using Rover and was a wonderful experience.”
“Clint and Kari were absolutely fantastic. We got updates twice a day. They have a very dog friendly house and set up. We were gone on vacation for Christmas and not only did they watch our dogs, but they also bought them gifts and treats. I will absolutely use them again when needed. I would recommend this family to anyone with dog sitting needs!”
“Our dogs loved staying at Lauren’s! She took great care of them both and always sent pictures and frequent updates. Our dogs loved playing with her dogs and running in her fenced in yard. We will definitely rebook!!”
“This was our kitten’s first time staying away from home, and Shelby made it care-free and easy! She kept such a close eye on our kitten, even if the kitten didn’t necessarily want her too, haha! She made Willow feel so comfortable that by the end she was snuggling with Shelby! Looking forward to the next stay!”
“Keith was outstanding. I highly recommend him. He was able to watch Hank with kinda short notice. He was very prepared and made us feel at ease with leaving Hank with him. He gave us updates each of the first two days, complete with pictures. He then updated us every other day, which was perfect. Hank was in great shape when we picked him up and obviously had a great time with Keith. I would definitely board Hank with him again!”
“Returning client here. You won’s find a better sitter for your pet! Tosha and her family are such good people and really good with dogs! Highly recommend!”
“Kamela was amazing! She did such a good job at introducing my dog into her home and she made my dog feel so comfortable. She kept me updated the entire time I was out of town and I felt so safe having my dog stay with her. I would recommend Kamela to any dog owner!”
“Garrett and his girlfriend were such lifesavers for watching harvey while I was gone. It was the longest I've left him before but I felt so comfortable the whole time knowing he was happy and safe. They kept me updated with photos and videos the whole time!”
“Jasmine was wonderful with my American Bully. He has skin issues due to allergies, and she was very attentive to making sure to apply his topical spray and wipes as needed. I’ll definitely be going back to her for any future trips!”
“Dita was fantastic! She has a nice large backyard for the pups to play in. Our pups got plenty of exercise while they were there! She sent many pictures and updates so I always knew what they were up to! Great experience overall and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Jennifer was great! She was available on short notice when our dog sitter wasn't free, she was a life saver! She loved on our doggies and sent us lots of pictures during their stay. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 120 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Saint Paul. 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 Paul 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 Paul 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 Paul 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 Paul.
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 Paul 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 IN 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.
