“LAN was great with my young Labradoodle. He stayed with her for two weeks while I was out of the country. She put my mind at ease by sharing pictures and videos of him playing with her dog Lucy. He seemed very comfortable and well cared for with her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Ashley is a responsible and smart pet sitter. Teo learned to behave and socialize with dogs. She sent pictures almost every day during the 2 weeks Teo stayed. Teo was happy with her and her dogs. I recommend Ashley to my family and friends for pet sitting.”

“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.”
“I'm not sure how to adequately explain how wonderful Roxanne and Tim ae.

Cannot wait to send them to the babysitter's again! Thank you Roxanne and Tim!”

Mario and I had a meet and greet about a week before she took care of Zoey. Mario is friendly and gave me an overview of what he would do for Zoey. After seeing him with Zoey, I was convinced that Mario was the right person to care for her. Zoey can be anxious around strangers. When I picked her up, she was calm and I could sense that she had been treated well. I appreciated the photos that Mario sent to me.
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!
Katie was especially attentive and caring toward Cleo, who came down with some type of sickness and needed medication. Katie was kind enough to go to Cleo's vet to pick up medication and administer it, while also dealing with the messes Cleo was leaving behind while sick. We are deeply grateful for Katie's decency and patience while we were not there to care for Cleo while she was ill. Katie went above and beyond!
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!
Angela did a great job with Yoda. The thunderstorms and fireworks made him a bit nervous, but Angela handled it well, and he did fine. She was very responsive, kept us updated with pictures, and was quite flexible and went out of her way to accommodate a change in our pickup plans. We would certainly have Yoda stay with her again.
This was about the fourth time that Debbie and Mike dog sat for Bella who is now 15 years old. Bella enjoyed roaming around in a fenced yard. Debbie is an excellent dog sitter and keeps you informed daily how things are going for your dog. Enjoyed daily photos from her. Eased our stress wondering about our dog which made our vacation enjoyable. Hoping to have Debbie and Mike to sit for our dog next year.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
