We had an amazing experience with bringing our sweet boy Moose to Ruby. She did an absolutely wonderful job by keeping us updated with pictures and messages! I would definitely bring him back:)

Elizabeth was amazing and provided great care for Draco. He was in such great spirits when I picked him up which always makes me feel like it was a good stay for him. She was very responsive and provided additional care for him during his stay.

Grace was amazing!! It was the first time we’ve left our dog and had peace of mind. Our dog always has anxiety the times she’s had to be boarded, but with Grace she was at home away from home. Truly a blessing!! Grace is quick to respond, professional, friendly, and will take care of your pet like her own. Will definitely request to rebook in the future.

About: Lifelong animal experience – I’ve cared for animals my entire life, not just as a job but as a way of life. • Real dog-owner perspective – With 2 dogs of my own, I understand routines, energy levels, training reinforcement, and emotional needs. • Calm, patient care – Great for shy, anxious, senior, or high-energy dogs who need consistency and understanding. • Individualized attention – I don’t do “one-size-fits-all” care. Walks, play, feeding, and downtime are tailored to your dog. • Trust & reliability – I show up on time, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly so you can relax while you’re away. • Home-style love – Your dog is treated like family, not a booking. Hi! I’m Shelbie, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all personalities. I live in a peaceful rural area with plenty of space for play, walks, and safe adventures. Your furry friend will get the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! Dog Boarding (In My Home – Female Dogs Only) For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I only board female dogs. My Australian Shepherd has a strong personality, and keeping our home harmonious means I cannot accept male dogs. Female pups are always welcome, and they’ll receive lots of love, playtime, and cuddles in a safe, home environment. I work full-time from 8–5, but I’m happy to stop by during my lunch break for local drop-ins to take your sweet guy or girl out for a potty break, walk, or some love. I’m available after 5 PM, all day on Wednesdays, and all weekends. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to work with your pet’s routine whenever possible. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of love—whether in my home or yours. While I don’t have a yard yet, I live close to a dog park and provide plenty of walks, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and exercised. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, play, and downtime. Safety and comfort always come first, and I make sure pets get individual attention, affection, and enrichment. In your home, I respect your space while ensuring your pet feels secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

There is not enough things to say about my dogs stay with Mike and Nicki. From drop off to pick up the communication was great, and I knew my dog was in good hands with all the exercise he was getting and pictures I got throughout the stay. I would recommend them to anyone and will be looking for them next time I need a dog sitter in the area!

About: I am a 32 year old dog lover with 2 furry friends of my own. I am an Education Coordinator that works from remotely from my home in Verndale. I am available most parts of the weekday on the weekends as well. I have experience with all sizes of dogs with having a Golden Retriever and Shih Tzu/ Poodle mix. I have had numerous breeds as pets throughout my lifetime. I cannot wait to meet your dogs and create a lasting bond with each and everyone of them. I am willing to pop in for visits, walk them or possible overnights. I will treat your 4-legged friends as one of my own! Thank you for your time and God bless you and your family. I work from home so I have time to go and visit your fur baby throughout the day. I also am available most nights and weekends. I have two friendly dogs that could keep yours company if you are comfortable with that and I also will make sure they feel loved.

About: I am a huge dog lover<3 Caring for them is so rewarding for me. Learning their unique personalities and daily routines brings so much joy! I have cared for two Bichons for the past seventeen years. Since they both have now crossed over the rainbow bridge I am looking for a way to help others out... whether it is to take their dog for a walk during the week while they are at work or to care for them while their owners are traveling. I am mature and responsible... caring and loving your dog as much as you do. I have a special place in my heart for Senior dogs... my senior Bichon gave me so much love and caring experiences to share with others<3

Elizabeth is awesome! She was so patient and kind with my really nervous dog and went above and beyond to communicate with me and problem-solve as my pup presented her with some unforeseen challenges. I can’t imagine that there’s a better dog caregiver out there.

About: I have taken care of or been in a household with animals since I was a little girl. I grew up on a farm, and helped with animals in that area as well. I have been a dog sitter in the past for a family and it went really well! I love to be around animals, and even have two cats of my own and two family dogs. I am willing to provide in home boarding care at your place or mine and can accommodate to whatever makes you feel the most comfortable while you are away! I am currently studying for my boards, and plan to move to FL after the next few months, but within that time I am available any time/day of the week to care for your fur babies! I have the availability to crate your pet(s) if needed. I am currently living at home with my parents, which we have an outdoor and indoor space pets can go without being an issue. We do not have a fenced in yard, but we do live out in the country where your dog(s) can run safely or on a leash- to your preference. I am also able to come and care for your pet within your home as well if that makes you (and your pet) feel more comfortable!

About: I’ve owned dogs for the last 26 years. From car rides, to hide and seek and tug of war games and cuddling, they were spoiled! Friday and Saturday’s are wide open for me as those are my days off. Your dog can relax at our house, play in our yard and go on walks. We live in a quiet neighborhood with over an acre of land for your dog to enjoy their time. Put your mind at ease when you are enjoying your time on vacation, working or headed to an appointment.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Staples

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Staples on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 20 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Staples. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter 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.

Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Staples 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 Staples.

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 Staples 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.
