“We absolutely loved having Darcie and her family watch Oliver! We got updates every day with several pictures or even a video, which made being away from him so much easier. It was clear from the moment we dropped him off that Oliver was being treated like part of the family, and he came home happy and well-loved. We are honestly obsessed with Darcie and her family and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be using Darcie again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love their dog like their own!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since my teenage years, from puppies to seniors. Lately, I’ve fostered and adopted senior rescues. I consider dogs some of the most special creatures on Earth. I work full-time from home and love having dog-walking breaks throughout the day. I can sit in your home (as long as there’s wi-fi so I can log into work) or mine. My 15-year old Chihuahua mix passed away recently, so I currently do not have an animal companion in my home, though that doesn’t last very long with me! I do not have a fenced-in yard; however, there is a walking path across the front street of my home and a city park across the street in the back.
“What wonderful time my Tilly had with Vince and Cassidy. They provided the perfect number of updates and communication during the week so I was reassured that Tilly was having a great time! Many thanks to them and their dog Finley!”
“We left our pupper for almost 2 weeks with doc and heather. They are so great! We got updates and photos everyday and could tell our pup was having the best time. Thank you!!!”
“Tori was well taken care of during her stay at Susie’s. Susie is delightful and enjoys keeping dogs. You can see by her enthusiasm and sense of pride in her care. Definitely will use her again.”
“Barbara was great. She shared daily updates, made my dog grilled chicken and rice when he wasn't eating, and acommodated a later pick up time when our flight was cancelled. I highly recomend her.”
About: I'm a dog-lover through and through! Happy to take your furry buddy on a nice walk! I have cared for many wonderful dogs through the years, and feel comfortable with walks and play time! I work full-time, but have some flexibility in my schedule. Early mornings, evenings and weekends are best for me, but if you need help at a different time just ask! I like to make sure that pets feel safe and comfortable in my presence. I am calm, gentle and patient. Dogs are such joyful creatures, and they always bring a smile to my face!
“Stephen is an excellent sitter. Follows through on specific guidance for pups, sends lots of good pictures. This is a great spot for any pup to "vacation" while you vacation 😀”
“Anna was the most gracious and welcoming caregiver for Luna. We were on a 10 day trip abroad and her communication was stellar. Her home and backyard are comfortable and ideal for pups! We will definitely use Anna again!”
“Wonderful wonderful care again from Kirsten! Kirsten and her family could not be any kinder. Our dog was showered with love and attention! Thank you Kirsten and family!”
“Soooo great to have Jessica and Grant's good care when I went on vacation. They are fun, friendly and great to work with. My dog came home happy and I LOVED the pix and updates. Thank you! I'll definitely reach out again!”
“Alicja was very friendly and took on my fur friend on short notice during a holiday weekend. She updated us with pictures, told us about interactions with other dogs and was very professional. I wish we were closer in distance so doggy daycare would be more feasible. We would use her again!”
“Kira and Alejandro were amazing with our dog! He stayed for a week in their home and seemed to have a very fun time. They sent many photos and updates throughout the stay which helped me feel at ease, and I would definitely recommend them for dog boarding and sitting needs!”
“Julie, Ben and kids provided excellent care for our dog while we were out of town! Leading up to our first out of town visit, Ted had day visits to ease into the 5 day stay. Each time we pulled up he would jump out of the car and dart right into their home ♥️ For comparison, when we bring him to the vet he cowers in the car and we have to carry him in bc he refuses to walk. I have no doubt he was in excellent care and I’m so grateful we found this family for Ted. We will definitely be coming back!”
“Amy took great care of my dog Maple! Maple is dog-reactive and takes a while to warm up to people, but Amy showed him nothing but patience and made it a great, fun stay for him. She asked great questions at our meet and greet and when I dropped him off to make sure she knew his favorite toys and games, his meal and treat habits, and how to make him feel supported. I felt assured he was in safe and attentive hands! She even agreed to keep him an extra night when our flight got delayed, and her flexibility and understanding turned a minor nightmare into a small hiccup. Apologies to the neighbors that had to listen to Maple bark all weekend, but huge thanks to Amy! 💖”
“Fantastic service and Katie really made me feel like I was leaving my dog in great hands. Excellent communication and gave me updates throughout the stay! This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous about leaving my dog at first but that nervousness faded as soon as I got to know Katie. Will absolutely recommend Rover and Katie to whoever needs a dog sitter!”
“We were very happy with boarding our 2 dogs with Kari and her family. Kari was very responsive by text. She sent daily pics of the dogs while we were away. I feel that the dogs had good care.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Saint Paul is $45

Ava was so well cared for! Lyn went above and beyond, making sure both Ava and I felt comfortable throughout her stay. I especially appreciated the regular check-ins, photos and the genuine care and attention she gave Ava. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I will definitely be using Lyn again.
We were beyond happy and relieved to hear Rosie was back with Rover! Louie absolutely loves them, and honestly, so do we! There’s something so special about knowing your fur babes is being cared for by people who love and look after them as if they were their own. They are always so attentive, thoughtful, and caring, and knowing Louie is in such wonderful hands gives us such peace of mind, especially when we’re away for longer periods of time. Truly can’t express how much that means to us. Having that kind of trust and comfort is priceless, thank you for loving our Louie so well!
Miriam has been welcoming Flint since he came home with us over a year ago, as s much smaller puppy. She has been so patient with him as he continues to learn and grow. When we arrive at her home he is so happy and when he comes back home he is happy. What more could you ask for....

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
