“Allison and Luis were great! We had taken care of their pups before and it was fun knowing that our pups got to spend time with their pups again, while we were away. Will definitely reach out to them again in the future when we need a place for our pups to stay.”
“Debbie was very kind, flexible and sweet to my baby-dog. She even did a night for free at the beginning to help make sure my dog was settled in her home. I appreciate all th love and care Debbie and her family put in. She sent me pictures twice a day and was very accessible during the entire thing! Amazing sitter!”
“Thank you Deanna for taking good care of Indy! Deanna sent me pictures, videos and updates of how Indy was doing. It gave me the peace of mind while going on a family vacation! Indy enjoyed his time with his new friends! Until next time! Thanks again!”
“Aish and family are absolutely amazing. We feel so lucky to have her in our network as a second home for Romeo when needed. She is caring, a strong communicator and a wonderful human being. 10/10 recommend!”
“David took such great care of our dog, Moose. He went above and beyond by giving us daily updates with pictures and some videos. We felt Moose was well taken care of and received plenty of exercise and love. We will definitely book with David again if the need arises!”
“Rachel G. and her home were everything I’d hoped for! My cat Abadie (“a body”) calmly explored each room during the Meet and Greet, and by the next day when we arrived, Rachel had set up a comfortable lounge area for Abadie to sit or lie down and look out the window and breathe in fresh air as she watched the world going by! Abadie slept on her favorite blanket on the foot of Rachel’s bed all night long. After three days of bliss with Rachel, Abadie hid under the bed when I had the truck packed. She clearly was more comfortable with Rachel than being put in her carrier and driven home! No worries, Abadie! We’ll be back!”
“I’ve left my energetic dog with Lydia now for two stretches and both experiences have been tremendous! Leaving him the first time in a new environment was naturally a bit concerning, but with the daily pictures and updates Lydia provides, my mind was quickly convinced he was in a good place! Lydia is a warm and kind lady who is truly committed to caring for those fur babies entrusted to her. So happy to have found this spot, and I will continue to feel at ease and very content, knowing my boy is in a safe and caring home!”
“Ali was great. My golden can be a handful sometimes, particularly with more than one other dog. Ali was in control the whole time and Nieve came home happy and tired.”
“Our chihuahua stayed with Kelly and her family for the day and seemed very well taken care of. Kelly sent photos of him, obviously enjoying himself with her kids. I would not hesitate to leave our little guy there again.”
“Emilie was so sweet with our two puppies, Emma a Labrador, and, Tin a mini-dachshund. She had a wonderful plan to introduce her pets with our pets and it worked perfectly. She did her best to have our dogs feel right at home. She sent super cute pictures of them! So thankful for Emilie!!! Emma and Tin loved her!!!”
“Catherine was absolutely wonderful! This was Zuri's first time staying away from home and Catherine went above and beyond to make her feel at home. Catherine sent daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated, and lots of special treats and special love were given. Zuri also enjoyed having another dog to play with, as she is an only child. I would highly recommend Catherine and will definitely use her again.”
“Scout had a great time running in their 1 acre fenced yard. They took great care with her and updated us with pictures and videos daily. She came home happy and tired. Yay! Thank you for loving on Scout.”
“Our dog, Franny, had a wonderful stay with Michelle, Mark, and Rocko! I received daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I had absolutely zero concerns while she was there. This was the first time we had left Franny in someone else’s care since she is a fairly new addition to our family, so I was a little nervous about how she would do. But it sounds like she had a fantastic time! She loved playing with Rocko, going for walks, and getting lots of attention and affection from both Michelle and Mark. Michelle was wonderful to communicate with, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Franny was in her care. I highly recommend Michelle and would absolutely have Franny stay with her again!”
“Connie took great care of our dog Michael for an overnight stay at her house. Michael is timid and takes time to warm up to strangers but Connie’s friendly and patient personality put him at ease in no time. She kept us in the loop with photos and even gave him a bath, groomed him, and sent him home knowing a new trick. We’ll happily be booking with her again in the future!”

“This was my first experience with River and I hit the jackpot. My dogs were so loved and well cared for while I was away. Seher sent photos and updates while I was gone and was a joy to talk to. I can’t recommend her more highly!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Saint Paul
Jon is incredibly kind and patient; he did an amazing job caring for our dog. First, Jon gave us an opportunity for a meet and greet prior to boarding: he answered our questions, and our dog had a chance to get acclimated to his house and yard. Then, Jon provided daily reports with photos, and it was reassuring to see that our dog got plenty of fresh air and exercise, and great opportunities to rest. Our dog came home happy. We could not be more grateful for the excellent care our dog received while boarding with Jon. He really exceeded our expectations: 10 out of 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hollie was so great to work with. She was my first Rover experience and I couldn’t be more pleased! She asked great questions and preferences…just by that I knew my dog was going to be in great hands! The drop off and pick up went so smooth and easy going. I appreciated her updates and pictures too, made my time away so much easier! Highly recommend!
Gem and her family took my dogs last minute and were amazing! It’s been a long time since we’ve left our dogs with a sitter. Gem kept me up to date with photos and videos while we were away leaving me knowing they were being well cared for! I will definitely be going back to Gem in the future and highly recommend her to any dog parent.
We found Simon at the last minute when another sitter cancelled on us. I have a three month old puppy and was so hesitant to leave him but Simon sent pics and videos everyday several times and that really eased my mind. We saw that our puppy was playing with another puppy and having a great time. I will for sure be booking with Simon again. He lives what he does and it shows.
We’ve used Bethany twice and are very happy with how she handles our Gus. He’s in a great mood when we pick up. Communication during the stay is informative and helps keep our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sitter. Will book her again for our future needs.
Emily, Tim and family did a great job taking care of Nieve. It was a last minute booking and I was really appreciative of them stepping up. Solid communication especially when Nieve wasn’t feeling well and Emily had to provide some extra care. Thank you so much.
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!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in South Saint Paul is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 2,618 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in South Saint Paul. About 92% of South Saint Paul sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
