“Lan has watched my puppy Posie a couple times now and she takes such great care of her! She’s super accommodating- my flight was delayed this past weekend and she was very nice about keeping my puppy longer than planned. Highly recommend her!”
“Kyle provided a comfortable stay for my dog Len's first Rover experience. Even though it was a pretty short stay it was so nice to get pictures and an update on how Len was doing. Will definitely be using Kyle again!”
“Ashley did a wonderful job watching my goldendoodle Crosby! She sent an update and/or picture everyday to let us know what kind of activities they got up to each day. I was very happy with how much exercise she gave Crosby, sometimes I was worried that he was having so much fun that he wouldn't even want to come home! Knowing that Crosby was in such good hands with Ashley while I was gone gave me a lot of peace of mind.”
“An excellent experience. They provided great communication with updates and photos of the dog. I could tell immediately upon picking up my dog that she enjoyed her stay with them. I plan to use them again for future travels.”
“Katie and her two pups were the best hosts! Whenever Katie send over pictures, I could tell my dog was comfortable and happy! Would highly recommend booking with her”
“I cannot recommend Mario enough!! I was nervous to leave my anxious senior cat but Mario put so much effort into making sure he was comfortable and relaxed for his entire stay! I received daily updates on how my cat was doing/settling in and will absolutely be boarding him with Mario for all future trips!”
“Nicole and David are so great! They took amazing care of our Saluki. You can really tell when people know and understand dogs, and we felt zero stress leaving our pup with them. They sent frequent pictures which was lovely as well!”
“This was the first time we had the pleasure of working with Monika and family and all I can say is we would 100% use them again! They were so kind and caring and our golden retriever, Willow, had an amazing time there. I got plenty of pictures of her having fun with their other dogs, as well as snuggling with the humans in the household. They were amazing to work with and flexible when our travel plans changed slightly. I would highly recommend booking with this family!”

“This was Bronx’s second time staying with Rachel! When we picked him up and he saw that we were going into the car, he did not want to leave from her front lawn 😂 I can tell he has so much fun with her and I trust her to watch him again in the future. Thank you Rachel!”
“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”
“Kristen and her family helped us out over a weekend. Her young girls have a lot of energy but she kept and eye on our Leo to be sure they were good with him. He sleeps a lot and they let him do that. All evidence was that Leo was cared for.”
“This is the second time Hank has stayed with Roxanne- first time it was just for the day. He came home happy and tired from playing, same as before. Roxanne makes sure to send lots of pictures so you can see what your fur baby is doing through the day. Thanks again for taking good care of him!”
“Takenya was very communicative and sent lots of photos. She was patient with Rocket who seemed to have possibly picked up on cats being present or something else with transitioning to his stay and he seemed to eventually calm down and adjust to the environment.”
“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.”
“Robert did a great job with my geriatric dog. He got her to go for a longer walk than we've been able to lately, and was patient with her enough to accomplish that. He also sent lots of great pictures of how she was doing. Thank you for the great care!”
“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!”
“Betsy took wonderful care of Apollo! I received multiple updates and photos daily of Apollo and he cozied up to Betsy just like he does with me. It was so nice to know Apollo was being so well taken care of! Thank you Betsy!!!”
“This was our 1st time using Rover and we were nervous dropping our guy off with a stranger, however all of Elizabeth’s 5 star reviews eased our concerns. We are thrilled to of connected with Elizabeth, after a FaceTime call for introductions we felt very comfortable booking. Elizabeth was very responsive, low key, and drop off & pick up went so smooth. We received daily updates along with pics. We will definitely use Elizabeth 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.
