“This is the longest I've ever left Mia and I did not want to board her at a kennel for 12 nights. Lan kept me updated with pictures and videos that made me relax and enjoy my vacation more knowing she was well taken care of and had a buddy to play with too. Thanks Lan!”
“Simon is GREAT! Not only did he take my last minute request, but he communicated the entire time! Simon sent pics and videos, which kept my mind at ease. Best of all, Muffin returned healthy and very happy! I could tell he had THE TIME OF HIS LIFE with Simon! Thank you, Sir, for taking such great care of my baby! We found the BEST sitter in the Twin Cities! Highly 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.”

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!
“Robert is excellent, he sends photos and videos, I always feel good leaving our girl with Robert and his wife because I know they take great care of her and love her as their own.”

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.

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.

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.
