“Melissa and Matt are the best! Our dog loves staying with them. They are so genuinely warm and loving with him and they always put a lot of thought into planning doggie get-togethers and other activities that he will enjoy. Very conscientious about sending us daily updates and photos. Highly recommended!!”
“Lea was wonderful! We got to know each other before Kongo stayed and that made the first time even more comfortable. She kept us updated and sent pics. Will definitely ask if Kongo can stay in the future!”
“Dani and her husband, Roger, were very sweet. Dani was very communicative and easy to coordinate scheduling with. She sent pictures everyday and gave updates. Would schedule again :)”
“Nicole and John were incredible with my dog Mae. This was my first time using Rover, and I was hesitant given Mae is 10 years old and is usually watched by family or a family friend when we are out of town. Mae took to them immediately, and Nicole and John provided lots of love and care, checked in, and sent pictures. I had such a peace of mind while I was away. I’m grateful to have found sitters I can rely on for future trips!”
“Jennifer really take very good care of our dog with a lot of patience and love. Walk the dog and take her to dog park. I can see my dog felt sad when she had to come home.?”
“Clyde and Nancy were awesome and our Kona seemed to love being in their home! They allowed her on their furniture and sent several pictures of Kona cuddled up with Clyde or Nancy! Kona seemed to think Clyde’s lap and recliner were as comfortable as my husband’s!!! We will definitely have them keep Kona again and our other fur baby Waffle when she’s no longer under 1 year old!”
“Alexus is absolutely amazing! My family adores her, and we always know Simba is in the best hands. She takes exceptional care of him and even went above and beyond by taking him to his grooming appointment. We truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and dedication. Thank you, Alexus!”
“Lindsay and her family were INCREDIBLE! I’ve used a lot of Rover sitters and she was one of the best sitters I’ve ever used! My dog Honey was so well loved, got to go on multiple walks, played ball with her kids and I could trust that she was in the best care! Will definitely be using again and would 100% recommend! 🩷🐶”
“Shannon was great to work with and communicated openly. She was very welcoming and easy going. I enjoyed our vacation without worry because I knew our dog was well cared for. Thanks Shannon!”
“Deepa was so sweet, caring, and patient with Lucky! She took such great care of him, and he had the best time playing with Leo. I really appreciated all the pictures and updates she sent throughout his stay it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Deepa and would love to have her watch Lucky again!”
“Tiffany was so great! She was quick to respond to messages and we got picture updates every day. Guinness was a very happy boy when we brought him home so we know he was well taken care of. We can’t thank Tiffany enough for taking Guinness on such short notice. We would love for Guinness to stay with her again!”

“Elaine and Steve were absolutely wonderful to my pooch. They are very kind and welcoming. I had no worries at all leaving my pooch in their care. Elaine kept in touch with plenty of pics and prompt replies. I definitely recommend and will rebook in the future.”
“Words aren’t enough! Penny and Radar had a blast! They’re generosity and care for our two dogs who are opposite of each other was outstanding. Especially since we have one that just turned 1, her energy can be very overwhelming, but they sure got her energy out. Jamie was very communicative and responsive to our needs and hers as well. Overall, actions speak louder than words and the smiles on the dogs faces are proof!”
“Maxine was a wonderful sitter for our dog Cody. She has a very very warm and welcoming presence and takes a real interest in the pets she cares for. While we were away she sent us daily updates and pictures, and let us know how Cody was settling in. Thank you Maxine for everything you did to ensure that Cody had a pleasant stay with you while we were away.”

TaKaria was excellent with my dog Pup Cup! She kept me up to date with Pup’s care and sent several pictures. My dog fell in love with Ms. TaKaria from the moment we met. She has a gentle hand when it comes to her clients and she takes them on plenty of walks. I saw pictures of my dog playing in the backyard and she was loving it! I highly recommend Ms. TaKaria for pet sitting.
Barbara was absolutely wonderful! She loved on our dogs like they were her own and took such great care of them while we were away. I especially loved getting daily pictures and updates! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. We will definitely be booking with Barbara again! Highly recommend!
Lea and her family are absolutely amazing. My dog, Kiya, loved her stay, and Lea kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout, which gave me so much peace of mind. Kiya looked so happy in every update, and that really allowed me to relax and fully enjoy my vacation. I will definitely be using them again. It truly feels like a home away from home for Kiya.
I had an amazing experience with Robbin G pet sitter and couldn’t be happier with the care Oreo received. From the very beginning, she was kind, professional, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She kept me updated with regular photos and videos, which meant so much to me and gave me peace of mind knowing Oreo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear that Oreo was treated with love, patience, and genuine affection, just like family. She was also very attentive to Oreo’s needs, communicated promptly, and answered all of my questions. I really appreciated their kindness, flexibility, and the extra effort they put into making sure Oreo was safe and comfortable throughout the stay. I would highly recommend Robbin to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Oreo. I truly appreciate everything you did, and I would absolutely book with you again in the future!
Kyrsten was wonderful! She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our babies and treated them as if they were her own. We came home to happy, well-loved pets, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely trust Kyrsten to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
NATHAN LOVES KRYSTAL!!!! We have booked with her a couple of times so far, and Nathan has a great time every time! We love the photo and video updates we get throughout the day, and we love that she treats Nathan like he's her own. Definitely going to keep coming back
Vanessa and her family were excellent with my dog Pickle. They made him part of their family and updated me often with pictures of him being spoiled with love so much he didn't want to come home with me! I highly recommend Vanessa to watch your pup and we will be calling her again when the need arises.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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 personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Paul. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 TX 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
