“This was our first Rover experience and I couldn't be happier! We had open communication and photos the whole time. Carrie was great for Burt and even made special accomodations. Highly recommend!!”
“Kristen and her family are wonderful. Leo was happy to come home but seemed to have bene well cared for. There's love and activity at their home. We are glad they are close by.”
“Robert did a great job with my geriatric dog. He got her to go for a longer walk than we've been able to lately, and was patient with her enough to accomplish that. He also sent lots of great pictures of how she was doing. Thank you for the great care!”
“Bethany was so warm and welcoming and a perfect fit for my anxious very attached dog Hawkie. We were able to coordinate a visit in advance to see how he did and he did so well! I knew this was a perfect fit for my dog. I received photos and regular updates on how he was doing and it really put my mind at ease to know my sweet baby was being loved and pampered. I will definitely book with Bethany again in the future. She is a true gem! Thank you so much!”
“Jenny and Mark were great with Wall-e! He came home happy and healthy. They sent pictures during the day and even sent us home with some! Would book with them again in the future.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Venus with Brittni and her family. That feeling was validated after seeing the smiles on Brittni and my beloved Venus' face. We thank you”
“Our chihuahua/terrier Fitz loved his stays with Lan! He returns to her house with a hop in his step, running full speed ahead into her arms. His behavior says it all - he feels safe and we’ll cared for. What more could we ask? We live out of town and connected with Lan on a family visit - we hope to have Lan care for Fitz in future visits!”
“Katie was helpful and communicative from the start. When our plans changed she was able to accommodate those changes and work with us. The flexibility was appreciated. Would be happy to work with her again.”
“I couldn’t have picked a better sitter for Stella. I knew she was in good hands when I could see the joy and excitement they just had meeting her. I received excellent updates throughout the week along with pictures. Jon was super accommodating with all of my and Stella’s needs. I would totally recommend them to anyone!”
“We have used Mike quite a few times to watch Lilo. I always worry about her because she is a small dog, but she does great. Mike sends pictures daily and Lilo comes home happy as can be. I highly recommend Mike!”
“Dylan did great with my dog. He was available to watch her over the Christmas holiday which allowed me to travel to see family. He was flexible with pickup & drop off. I will definitely book with him again.”
About: I’ve been around animals since I was a kid. Growing up on a farm, raising animals for 4-H, and having our own cats and dogs. I’ve never been without a pet in my life. Love meeting new furry friends! I work as a flight attendant, so I have several days off a month to take care of your pets! Usually I work long weekends (Thursday through Monday-ish, but only four days at a time), so weekdays are best! I have a backyard and extra leashes to easily take your pet outside whenever, plus two chill middle-aged dogs at home to play with your fur baby if able!
“Ashley was amazing! Juno is very shy and usually takes a long time to warm up to strangers. Ashley was very patient with her and provided a calm and supportive environment. She also took Juno on at least 1 long walk a day - if not two and had a fantastic birthday celebration for Juno with a hike and raw bone!!! I would go back to Ashley in a heartbeat. I also really appreciated her daily updates with photos of Juno so I knew she was doing well and having fun.”
“I cannot recommend Mario enough!! I was nervous to leave my anxious senior cat but Mario put so much effort into making sure he was comfortable and relaxed for his entire stay! I received daily updates on how my cat was doing/settling in and will absolutely be boarding him with Mario for all future trips!”
“Thank you, Nicole & David! We know are dog is in the best hands with you two. I apologize for being late to the pick-up and appreciate your grace. Thank you so much!”
“This was Wallace’s longest stay. Roxanne’s wonderful photos and updates brightened my days and assured me that he was having fun and being loved.”
“Margo enjoyed her stay with Jim & Jennifer. It’s obvious she was loved and well cared for. Communication with them was very timely! Happy to have found them & we will definitely look for them in the future!”
“Kristine was so great with our dog 2 year old dog, Beau. He had some playmates and a bunch of attention. Kristine did a great job keeping us updated with morning and nighttime check ins. This was our first time leaving our pup and Kristine did awesome calming our nerves with her knowledge and check ins. I think Beau already misses her. We will definitely be back.”
“Very pleasant couple and adorable dog Luna. Send pictures and updates on Chester during his stay with them. Fenced yard was great with camera to know when the dogs wanted back in the house.”

Jon and Natalie were so wonderful with our three very demanding pups! They followed all our directions and the pups had a great time. I could tell they really care about all the animals they watch and treat them like their own. We will definitely book with them again!
Our dog Louie is occasionally leash reactive and aggressive with other dogs. He also was adjusting to life changes at our house and has some anxiety. We needed a sitter who could meet his needs and Bethany was great! She was also available on short notice and a great communicator both prior to and during his stay. We absolutely will use her again and know Louie had a great time!
Angela did a great job with Yoda. The thunderstorms and fireworks made him a bit nervous, but Angela handled it well, and he did fine. She was very responsive, kept us updated with pictures, and was quite flexible and went out of her way to accommodate a change in our pickup plans. We would certainly have Yoda stay with her again.
Jennifer was absolutely terrific! She cared for our mini-goldendoodle as we would have and beyond. We were sent updates and felt very at ease with leaving her for the first time. She even took our storm frightened dog into the basement for a cuddle and nap during a thunderstorm. Would definitely have Jennifer look after our dog again!
Simon was very friendly and knowledgeable on caring for Ramzy. He introduced him to multiple different dogs, so while we were away, it just seemed like Ramzy was on his own little vacay with friends. Updated me daily with pictures and videos I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.
Leo had a great stay with Ashley and her family. We did a meet and greet and her dogs allowed Leo to be with them immediately. As best I can tell Leo loved his time there- he came home and was his ordinary self. Ashley had noticed him shaking at one point during his stay and then that it was raining- so Leo needed his med to calm down. It seemed like Leo was in a home were he was loved and accepted and comfortable. We are glad to have found Ashley.

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 South Saint Paul 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 South Saint Paul 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 South 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 South 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 South 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 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.
