“Shannon was great with our Dalmatian. We recently got him and were unsure how he’d do because he’s been so skiddish. However, Shannon loved our boy and he really opened up to them during his stay. Highly recommend her.”
“Audrey deserves a 5+ rating. She took great care of our Sarge. She opened her loving home to our furbaby and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She loved and understands care for Frenchies which we needed. She and her family are awesome people. So grateful!”
“Lindsey was very responsive to my request for one day of boarding my two dogs while I was in town. She was flexible and accommodating with times. Most importantly the dogs liked her from the start. She has a great set up for the dogs, sent lots of great photos. They would have been fine staying longer and I would definitely ask her to have them again. Thanks so much, Lindsay, for a great experience!”
“Julia was so wonderful with our dogs while she watched over our wedding weekend! She sent lots of good updates and even drove them to the venue to have them be in our wedding pictures. Would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a great rover in the Hampton Roads area!”
“Alicia and her family took the absolute best care of my two pups! They had a wonderful stay filled with lots of cuddles and playtime. Alicia kept me well-informed with regular updates and photos, so I knew they were happy and comfortable the entire time. She was also extremely flexible when my travel plans changed slightly, which I am incredibly grateful for. I’m so happy I found her on Rover, she is officially my go-to sitter!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life different sizes and breeds. I have experience in training puppies as well as taking care of elderly dogs. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and needs, so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I wanted to spend the extra time I have taking care of animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 45 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.
100% 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, 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 SC 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.
