“Lan, Lucy and family were wonderful with Mochi! Lan is a kind and experienced dog caregiver. We were gone for about a week. Mochi came home happy, tired, and clean! Thank you so very much.”
“Betsy and Mark were fantastic!! They were incredibly patient and loving with my very high maintenance puppy. Even when it was below freezing she took my dog for a walk!! She always sent updates and photos so I could stay informed on her stay. I would absolutely recommend, your pup will be in heaven. I know Izzy, my pup, can’t wait for her next stay.”
“Our second time boarding with Lisa went incredibly well! Seemed like our pup wasn’t ready to leave quite yet. As always, appreciate Lisa and co for all the love and care they provide to our pup!”
“Highly recommend Jaley for anyone looking for dog care! Communication was seamless and she sent regular photo updates throughout the stay so I never worried. Her location is full of walking trails and nature which is perfect for walking dogs. I will absolutely book with her again!”
“How do They get so many adorable photos? Our dog sees us reach for the camera and stops whatever adorable thing she’s doing. Then she goes to Kelsey and Jordan’s and turns into a model!”
About: I grew up with labs, and now have two dogs of my own. I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends for over 14 years. I now have kids who also love dogs and are very kind and gentle with them offering both snuggles and play. I love to walk so will bring your dog along with me as weather permits. I’m familiar with training, and will continue with what is being taught. Looking forward to welcoming your dog(s) into our home. I only work three days a week, and my husband is home on and off during the week as well. Weekends we are always home. We have a fenced in yard, and two very friendly dogs to play with your pup. We have a crate for smaller dogs and an enclosed pen for sleeping, if needed. Dogs are also welcome to sleep on the main level, non kenneled (as long as they’re house trained).
“Jenny was very accommodating, willing to take care of Rex on such short notice. We were updated every day with photos, communication was prompt and I would not hesitate to use her again!!”
“Maxi (my girl cat) loved staying at Mario's. I was afraid she wouldn't want to come home. He played with her, fed her, groomed her, treated her like royalty. I definitely will have him babysit my girl again.”
“Julie and family were great caretakers and communicators. My dog hadn’t been away from us for a while and arrived with his quirks. Julie was patient with him and helped him feel at home. A great Rover family!”
“Emily took great care of our chocolate lab! She sent updates and photos on our trip. She was quick to respond to any questions as well. Highly recommend !”
“Dropping off my pup with John & Teri felt like leaving him with family. They are incredibly kind, and geniunely care for and love your dog like their own. It helps that they speak doodle, too. The one caution is if you leave your dog there for too many days, they might end up not wanting to come back home. If you have a doodle and need a sitter, you’re doing your dog a disservice if you choose anyone else! 11/10 recommend.”
“Anna was the most gracious and welcoming caregiver for Luna. We were on a 10 day trip abroad and her communication was stellar. Her home and backyard are comfortable and ideal for pups! We will definitely use Anna again!”
“Our pup made herself right at home and was well cared for by Joayne and her kiddos. Easy to communicate with her and convenient pick up on the home from the airport. I would be happy to have our pup stay here again!”
“I know immediately when meeting Andrea that Tonka will be lucky to be taken care of by her. I had some years of experience working with dog sitters in the UK and how Andrea facilitated the introduction of her dogs to Tonka made me feel at ease. She's very experienced and caring, and our Tonka seems so happy there.”
“Jada loved staying at Andrea's! All smiles, tail wags and a great report card. Jada is both chill but also with a medical condition, has some special needs which were really well taken care of! Jada had the biggest smile and the best time!”
“We planned a very spontaneous 5 day trip to warm weather and found Mike on rover. We met with him and felt really good about our interaction and his interaction with our pup. Georgee is just 5 months old so I was a little concerned about leaving her but I had absolutely nothing to be concerned about! Mike sent us updates, photos and videos daily. Georgee got to socialize with other dogs which was awesome! I felt comforted knowing our little Georgee was being so well taken care of. We will definitely be using Mike in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Dave was wonderful! Kind, attentive, convenient and very warm and welcoming. He sent pictures to us, and our dog was very happy when we came home. Would definitely use him again and have recommended to family!”

Highly recommend Jaley for anyone looking for dog care! Communication was seamless and she sent regular photo updates throughout the stay so I never worried. Her location is full of walking trails and nature which is perfect for walking dogs. I will absolutely book with her again!
Andrea was amazing and so accommodating! She was able to handle our wild pup with ease and clearly has a lot of experience with dogs! She brought our dog to the park and would exercise her better than we probably even do (even though we bring her to the park for about 2 hours and go on long walks)! I would definitely recommend and would book with her again!
Augie and Otis have been cared for by Debbie, Mike, and family exclusively for the last four years. I know that they are in good hands of these caring animal lovers. My only hesitation of rating them so high, is that they may get so many new clients, they may be booked up when I need their services. Thanks Debbie, Mike, and family.
Simon was very friendly and knowledgeable on caring for Ramzy. He introduced him to multiple different dogs, so while we were away, it just seemed like Ramzy was on his own little vacay with friends. Updated me daily with pictures and videos I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.
Sarah was incredible with my dog Mochi! I am always a little apprehensive to send my large high energy dog to sitters without a fully fenced, but Sarah took Mochi on lots of fun adventures to get her energy out! She always sent photos daily which I appreciated. I could not recommend Sarah more!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Saint Paul
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Saint Paul on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 2,670 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.
95% 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.
