“Another great visit with Lan for my Labradoodle, Buddy. As always, she was great, taking special care of my little guy while I was away for nearly three weeks. Really appreciated her flexibility when we needed to adjust our return date. It was so good to know he was in good hands and having so much fun playing with her dog, Lucy.”
“We are so happy to have found Remy and Kevin to watch our dog when traveled out of town!! They are responsive, welcoming, and their genuine love for animals and care really shines. We are more comfortable traveling now that we can leave our Pablo in their loving home.”
“Zema loves going to Bethany's house! They spend ample time together going for walks & playing in the yard (weather permitted) and snuggles on the couch. Zema always comes home happy and tired 🙂”
“Robert and his wife took excellent care of our dog Jasper over a long weekend. He sent daily updates, which was very appreciated. I can tell that Jasper settled in and felt comfortable there, and he came home relaxed and happy. Thanks!”
“Debbie and her family were amazing! They were excellent with Bulut. Debbie sent a lot of pictures and videos which we appreciated. Bulut was really happy with the stay, went on a lot walks and lots of backyard play time. We couldn’t recommend them enough!”
“I'm confident that Polly was well taken care of on her stay at Tristan's. I received lots of updates and some adorable pictures. I would have Polly stay again without any hesitation!”
“Dawn was amazing while taking care of our dog Daisy. She knew just how to put her at ease and make sure she had a great time. She was very communicative with lots of photos and flexible when our travel plans changed due to the weather. We’ve found our new home away from home for Daisy!”
“Stan was such a wonderful dog-sitter for our Bernese Mountain Dog, Flora! He was thoughtful and conscientious, meeting with us beforehand and running through a list of questions about her specific needs and habits. Throughout our trip, he sent updates with photos that showed our dog living her best life. Flora got along so well with his two dogs and they all three took idyllic snowy walks together and enjoyed playing together in Stan’s gorgeously wooded yard. We feel lucky to have met Stan and found a new home away from home for Flora. We had such peace of mind white we were away out of the country. Flora was in great and loving hands.”
“This was our second time leaving our dog with Betsy, and once again, she did not disappoint. Our dog came back happy and clearly enjoyed the long stay. Betsy was fantastic at communicating with us throughout the stay, regularly sending pictures/videos showing what our dog was up to. :) Thank you Betsy! Would use Betsy again.”
“Ali was great and communicated to us throughout our trip perfectly. She was very flexible, and Piper seemed to have a great time with her and her family! Would love to go back there again next time”
“Nicole and David are so sweet and my dogs loved staying with them! Their two dogs are great with other dogs as well. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Lisa and Tom, took very good care of our dog, we felt very reassured having their support. They were kind, and receptive to our dog's needs. Will be returning for her daycare soon!”
“Sam is excellent at communication and Neo looked so happy in all the photos she sent me. I was out of town for business last minute and she was willing to take him on short notice. I'm really pleased with this booking and will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Amanda and Leif was absolutely wonderful! They welcomed Boba right into her home and even let him sleep on the bed, which he loves and helps him feel totally comfortable. He got plenty of walks, lots of playtime with her little boys to keep him busy, and he came home tired out, happy, and clearly very well-loved. Amanda was also super communicative and sent lots of photos throughout his stay, which really put us at ease since it was his first time staying with her. We definitely will be using Amanda and her sweet family for future stays!”
“Maria was taking great care of my puppy while I was on trip for two weeks. came home very happy. great communication and a lot picture updates I will definitely have Maria watch my puppy again for next my trip”
“Our dog, Gus, has stayed with Doc now on two occasions, one shorter stay and one 10 day stint. Both were phenomenal! We enjoyed getting the picture updates on Gus each day, and were able to enjoy our vacation much more knowing he was well taken care of.”
“Angela was amazing! I have had lots of sitters with rover and with family and Angela is by far my favorite. I didn’t worry about my dog once durning a week long vacation. She kept me updated, sent me pictures and my dog loved her (maybe too much haha not sure if my dog wanted to go back to me 😊) I really appreciate Angela and all she did for Rosie. Definitely a great sitter, I wasn’t sure I wanted to write my review like this because of wanting to keep Angela as my little secret but my dog is old and not sure if I’ll need to use Rover anytime soon so I thought I’d share her 😉”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Paul
I felt so at ease after meeting Michelle. Our pup is an almost 2 year old rescue that we adopted 4 months ago. This was the first time leaving here other than an intro at a daycare center. Michelle is friendly and seems to really love dogs. She was very diligent about learning our dog’s routine, likes and dislikes. Our pup seemed happy when we picked her up, and even taking her back for her first “over night” stay our pup seemed secure in being left in Michelle’s care.
Bridget is wonderful! She took excellent care of my dog, Saoirse, and sent lots of lovely pictures. She let me change my drop off and pick up days, was very very accommodating as my plans changed, and let me pick Saoirse up for evening walks (I was staying in the area in an apartment that does not allow dogs). Great care, very kind.
Mario did a great job with taking care of my dog Bianka while I was out of town for the week. He gave her all her medication She needed no issues there, and he took Bianka on mini walks and sent me videos and text and photos updating me of how my dog was doing I would definitely have him babysit my dog again.
Our dog was happy and safe for 3 nights at Carrie's! She is a dog-loving person who works at home -- companionship for dogs guaranteed! Also, Carrie loves to take neighborhood walks and walk at a nearby lake, so our dog benefitted from those outside jaunts. We are so glad to have Carrie nearby!
Andrea is amazing! I was anxious about the idea of boarding for my dog. She’s dealing with a knee injury and is also very nervous around new people. Andrea made both my dog and I feel at ease right away. She was comfortable giving her meds for her knee when needed and adjusting her activity level to keep her from overtaxing her injury. She sent regular updates and even did some much needed grooming/brushing. I can tell that my dog was loved and cared for in my absence. I will definitely be a repeat client!
Simon is GREAT! Not only did he take my last minute request, but he communicated the entire time! Simon sent pics and videos, which kept my mind at ease. Best of all, Muffin returned healthy and very happy! I could tell he had THE TIME OF HIS LIFE with Simon! Thank you, Sir, for taking such great care of my baby! We found the BEST sitter in the Twin Cities! Highly recommend!
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Our dog has rear paralysis and requires extra care, and they went above and beyond to learn his routine and make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. Their patience, compassion, and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend them, especially if your pet has special needs!
Our dog Louie is occasionally leash reactive and aggressive with other dogs. He also was adjusting to life changes at our house and has some anxiety. We needed a sitter who could meet his needs and Bethany was great! She was also available on short notice and a great communicator both prior to and during his stay. We absolutely will use her again and know Louie had a great time!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Saint Paul on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,591 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.
94% 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 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.
