“Marie and Mark were absolutely fantastic! They took amazing care of our dogs Jersey and Odin, while we were away, sending regular updates and adorable photos that put our minds at ease. It's clear they genuinely love animals and treated our pups like one of their own. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and will definitely be using their services again!”

“We were so pleased with how well our dogs were treated and the updates we received. You can definitely tell Princesa and Bradley love dogs, are compassionate, and truly want to provide a loving place for pets. Their land and house is perfect. We can't wait to use them again!”


“Thank you for taking such great care of Grizzly. He came home happy and tired. We loved receiving all of the updates and photos. We will definitely be reaching out the next time we need a dog sitter!”

“Brandy and Chad do a fantastic job with our small dog Patty. Patty can be nervous, tense, and anxious around strangers, but they've done a wonderful job to make her feel like she is at home. We highly recommend them for your dog sitting!”


“Elizabeth and Eric are awesome! This is Rocky’s second long stay of 10 days and Elizabeth is terrific with updates photos and videos! Make me feel so at ease knowing he is loved and well cared for- they really integrate him into their pack! Soooooo happy to have connected with these true animal lovers! Thank you Elizabeth and Eric!!!”

“Danielle goes over and above in caring for Frasier and Ellie. She communicates and seeks to do for the dogs what you as the owner would. She gave our dogs a needed bath and always provides pictures and videos. All the way to washing their blankets and folding them neatly in their kennel.”

“Tammy and John took great care of Harry. I hate to have to leave him behind, but knowing he is well taken care of puts my mind at ease. He was a tired pup when we picked him from having fun play time in their huge fenced in backyard. I love that they snuggled too! We will be back!!”


“Patricia and Patrick were absolutely wonderful. They took great care of Juno and I really enjoyed getting all of the updates and photos. Juno also seemed really relaxed and playful when we went to pick her up. We will be rebooking with them in the future for sure!”

“Jenell was awesome! She took great care of our Marian while we were away for a few days. She sent updates with pictures, which put my mind at ease and I knew that Marian was in great hands. Highly recommend and will be contacting her again when we need a sitter.”

“Thank you so much! I felt completely at ease leaving Otis with Alexandra. She took such great care of him, and it was clear he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely trust Alexandra with Otis again!”

“This was our second time having Anna watch our small dog, Frankie, and the second time was just as great. She is the best host for our dog and makes us feel stress free while on vacation knowing our pup is in good hands. She sends pictures frequently and is quick to share/respond to texts. Highly recommend—Anna has become my go-to and can’t wait to book with her again in the future.”

“I couldn't have been happier with the love and thorough care Shelly gave to my dog, Rocky. I feel so incredibly blessed to have found Shelly to be his caregiver. Shelly sent pictures throughout his stay with her and even helped me figure out some new foods and treats for my picky little eater. I will be booking with her again and again! You won't regret booking with Shelly. She is a true animal lover.”

“Our dog Leena has a great time and was exhausted when we picked her up. Alisha and Cameron and their family sent a lot of updates and clearly spent a lot of time the pups. Would definitely recommend and plan to send our dog to visit them again in the future!”


“Ali was wonderful. Our dog is typically very shy and fearful but she settled in wanting pets from Ali right away - all due to her knowledge of what dogs need and her ability to read Lyla’s body language. It was a great experience!”

“Would absolutely recommend Kaitlyn! She took fantastic care of our Bernedoodle while we were away, and we loved the daily updates. Booking, communication and pickup and drop off were super easy. Thanks for taking great care of our pup!”

“First time with Dynette. She was very concerned with Bella's needs especially when she had diarrhea. Good communication daily and pictures sent relieved some of our anxiety. Would request Dynette again.”

About: Hi, I’m Autumn! While I’m new to Rover, I am not new to dogs! Animals have been a huge part of my entire life! At 16, I started working as a kennel assistant at a veterinary clinic. I went on to receive my degree in veterinary technology and dedicated almost 10 years as a tech. Now, I’d love to continue caring for pets beyond the clinic! My husband and I own a 1/2 acre of acre of land in Forest Lake. We have one dog, a senior Shih Tzu named Nala! For the safety of all dogs, I do require they are comfortable being kenneled during times I am away or sleeping. Otherwise, they are free to follow me around the house or even nap on the couch! Caring for animals is my top priority, so I have the flexibility to be home with all pets for the majority of the day, every day! In our home, pets are family! We offer a large lawn to allow your pets plenty of room to exercise. Plenty of snuggles and playtime will be offered along with daily walks as requested/weather permitting. Crating is utilized for safety when pets are not directly supervised (home alone or bedtime). Any other needs? No problem! I know each and every pet has their own unique preferences and needs.
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful, and Jack had an amazing stay with her. I felt great knowing he was so well taken care of while I was gone! She sent sweet updates while I was out of town and was able to accommodate on short notice. I'm so incredibly appreciative to her, and will absolutely use her services if I need to in the future!!!”

“Claire did a great job taking care of our dog Remy! He is a high energy lab mix and can be anxious and very vocal, but Claire was patient and sent lots of updates.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Scandia on Rover is $41.07 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,404 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Scandia. 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 Scandia 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 Scandia 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 Scandia 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 Scandia.
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 Scandia 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.
