“We feel so comfortable leaving our Ebenezer with Lan. He always runs to her when we drop him off, which makes us feel good about the care he receives. Thank you Lan!”
“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Ashley is Incredible! Ashley watched our French Bulldog, Blue Bell, for 5 days, and she was absolutely wonderful! Frenchies definitely come with their own unique quirks and big personalities, but Ashley didn't skip a beat. She completely embraced Blue Bell's quirkiness and made sure she felt comfortable, happy, and loved the entire time. It is such a relief to find a sitter who truly understands and appreciates your dog's individual personality. Ashley is a genuine dog lover—reliable, attentive, and is very knowledgeable about different types of dogs. We will absolutely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care!”
“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!”
“Simon was a great pick as a cat sitter. He sent me videos and photos of my cat everyday and took good care of her. I’d recommend him to anyone looking to get their cat taken care of and watched for a period of time.”
“We loved having Brenda watch our pup! She sent lots of updates and pictures during the stay. Her family and dogs were so sweet and playful with her, too. Would definitely recommend!”
“Xan took great care of my 2 1/2 -year old puppy providing lots of cuddles and playtime plus hikes in good weather. Xan paid good attention to my puppy’s eating quirks and medication needs. She communicated just as I requested and sent fun photos. I greatly appreciated Xan’s flexibility when my flight was delayed. Overall, a great experience. I highly recommend Xan.”
“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. Brooklyn was accommodating of my request to change the pickup time. We look forward to having Tobi stay with Brooklyn again.”
About: As a dog lover, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand that every pup has their own personality, needs, and routine. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I love making sure dogs feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive, patient, and dependable, and I’ll always treat your dog like one of my own! I’m also happy to provide regular pictures and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in great hands while you’re away. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, but I have the flexibility to stop home during my lunch break for potty breaks, feeding, and some extra attention! I’m available on weekends for pet sitting, boarding, and walks, allowing me plenty of time to give your pets the love and care they deserve. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals and am happy to accommodate their individual routines and needs. Whether you’re heading out of town for the weekend or just need an extra helping hand, I’d love to help! I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in good hands! My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every pet feels happy and cared for. I understand that every animal has their own personality, preferences, and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel at ease. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m also happy to provide regular pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Deb did a fantastic job with my dog Brandy. Sent many pics and was always quick to respond answering all my questions. Brandy was comfortable at her house and she was very attentive to his needs. Deb also was very accommodating when I had changes to my travel plans. I would definitely recommend Deb and will b using her again!”
“Luke and Rachel are the best! Harry always has a wonderful time at their house. They are caring and so sweet and attentive to our pup. Thank you Luke and Rachel!”
“Madeline always has a great time with Robert and his wife, we get updates and fun photos, and I know she’s well taken care of. She has stayed with Robert several times now and will again!”
“Allison and Luis were so wonderful to work with. They kindly took my dog very last minute and were so friendly and flexible. And they sent me so many pictures of my dog having the best time with their friendly dogs. This was a wonderful experience for me and my dog and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Henry hopes to go back and stay with them again soon.”
“Our pups returned tired and happy from playing at McKenzie’s! She sent plenty of photos of them with the other pups. And her location is super convenient near the airport.”
“Dylan did great with my dog. He was available to watch her over the Christmas holiday which allowed me to travel to see family. He was flexible with pickup & drop off. I will definitely book with him again.”
“It was an amazing first Rover experience for our dog and cat. Our dog loved the yard and their playmate. Our cat got as much love and scratches as she wanted.”
“Angela provides a kind, loving and stable second home to our rescue German shepherd mix Rufus. With family in the South and West, we take a lot of trips. Rufus can’t come on all of them. Angela is truly a saving angel who does everything she can to be available. Rufus is almost as excited to see her at the beginning of his stay as he is to see us at the end! Can’t recommend enough.”
“I couldn’t be happier about finding Shevon & Ian - they are a perfect fit for Loki. Very caring, very attentive and understanding of a young but very large dog’s needs (and quirks!) They have a wonderful house with a huge fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood, and their daughter and dog Warren are equally awesome. Shevon even went out of her way between visits to help us find a new vet when Loki was struggling with a severe case of pneumonia. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“This was our first Rover experience and I couldn't be happier! We had open communication and photos the whole time. Carrie was great for Burt and even made special accomodations. Highly recommend!!”
“First time we have used Rover for our dog. Robert was terrific! His home had a welcoming atmosphere and it was apparent that Robert understood that Remy needed to feel a part of the household. The two other dogs Robert was pet sitting were terrific. I think Robert managed all the interactions beautifully and Remy ended up having a pack for the weekend. We will definitely ask Robert to dog sit again.”
“Etta thoroughly enjoyed her time with Lydia. She made new puppy friends, slept in Lydia’s bed and found all the pillows to lay on. Thank you, Lydia, for taking such good care of Princess Etta.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Saint Paul is $45

Dana and her family took great care of Finley while we were out of town for several days. She had great communication and shared pics while we were gone. Finley even got a bath, nail trim and cute bandana from them. She came home soft and well groomed. And they were very flexible with our early morning pickup after our flight which was much appreciated! Would definitely recommend and trust them with her care again!
Debbie and Mike were very kind and respectful. They treated my pup as if she were family giving her lots of love and attention. They sent me pictures of how much fun and enjoyment Ruby was having with them while she stayed with his and her family. 10/10 would recommend and would let my pup stay with them again. :)
This was our dog’s third stay with Gabbi, and it was wonderful. Marty ran up to her door as we approached her house and clearly was excited to see her and be in her home. Gabbi sent us photos and was an excellent communicator throughout his stay. It’s a gift to have a trusted person to care for Marty when we’re away!
We found Simon at the last minute when another sitter cancelled on us. I have a three month old puppy and was so hesitant to leave him but Simon sent pics and videos everyday several times and that really eased my mind. We saw that our puppy was playing with another puppy and having a great time. I will for sure be booking with Simon again. He lives what he does and it shows.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Saint Paul is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 2,607 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 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 Paul 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 Paul 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 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 , 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.
