“Lan was an excellent caretaker for Hazel. She sent photos upon request. Hazel loved playing with Lucy. We will definitely use her again when we're traveling.”
“Katie had very good communication with setting up our first experience with her. This was the first time we left our dog with a sitter and she gave us great piece of mind so we could enjoy our time away without worrying about our dog. She send many updates and pictures/videos so we could see our dog was having a good time. I would recommend and use her again.”
“Brittany was awesome. She did a great job with the two dogs, sent lots of pictures and was very caring. Will definitely send the pups to her again!”
“Bridget did a great job watching our pup and he seemed to have a great time. They went on lots of walks and he enjoyed her home, even her two cats. She sent photos and kept in contact with us throughout the week. Would recommend!”
“Dana accommodated and encouraged my questions before the boarding. She had a solid plan for both introducing her dogs and kids, as well as opening her home up so that my pups felt right at home. I felt very comfortable leaving my pups with her. She communicated well during my dogs stay as well. Thank you!”

“Miriam was fantastic with our two dogs, Zelda and Maeve. She stayed in constant contact and sent several video and message updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she genuinely cares for the pets she watches. We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative sitter!”
“Nicole & David were amazing!!!! They took such good care of our newly rescued dog for two weeks. They are well equipped and knowlagable when it comes to integrating dogs into their home. They are exceptional with communication and sent daily photos, videos, and updates. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a loving dog sitter and will absolutely work with them again!”
“Robert was such a great dogsitter that when I went to pick my dog up he just turned around and walked back into Robert's house! I think he would have stayed forever. I got regular updates with pictures and video and everything seemed to go really well. Would absolutely book Robert again!!”

“Thank you Remy and Kevin for taking such great care of Lucky! She had a wonderful time at your house, especially in the fort you built her on the couch.

It looked like Lucky was on her own special vacation too. :-) To those looking for a pet sitter who will treat your furry friend like a true member of the family, look no further! Remy and Kevin are the best!”

“Teddy’s stay with Nichole and Jacob was his first overnight since he was adopted. They sent plenty of photos and loved him like he was their own. I will definitely use them again and may even be setting up play dates with Teddy’s new friend Koda (their dog).”
“Tobi had a great time with Brooklyn and her family. He loved their little girl and got along great with their gentle Bernese Mountain Dog. I received updates once or twice a day with cute photos.

Bridget took great care of Mazie while I was away. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and was always responsive when I reached out. Mazie got walked and playtime in Bridget’s garden, and I could tell she was well cared for. Bridget was also very flexible with my travel schedule. My flight got in late and I wasn’t able to pick Mazie up until nearly midnight, and she was very accommodating and friendly about it. I would definitely feel comfortable leaving Mazie with Bridget again.
Kristina is great! Our dogs were very comfortable and relaxed in her home. She provided daily updates and responded quickly to any questions we had. This was our first time using Rover and it’s so much better than boarding at a kennel. It was refreshing to pick up our dogs and see they were not stressed out or anxious.
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.
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!
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!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Saint Paul on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 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 .

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.
