“We had an excellent experience with Cait and Tim! Our pup didn’t have good manners when meeting their family dog but they didn’t seem to be worried. He eventually settled in and he had a great time for his overnight. He was so tired the following day from all the activity at their house. We’d never used a service like this before. We would recommend them 100%!”
“Great stay as always! Suki runs into Ali's house like she owns the place and happily greets her family like they are old friends. This always make us feel comfortable leaving her and we never have to stress about her while we are away.”
“Rosie was very happy at Kyle’s. We saw some sweet photos of her during her stay. We appreciated your flexibility in picking her up too. Thanks much. We will definitely request to rebook with Kyle.”
“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!”
“Lan was an amazing dog sitter. This is my first time using Rover, and to be honest, my first time leaving my dog with anyone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a bit nervous. Lan was friendly and helpful and sent pictures of Zoey about an hour after I left which help put my mind at ease. Over all a really good experience.”
“Casandra is so great with our pups. She has taken care of our elder bichon and our puppy and now teenaged cavapoo. The dogs love her and her family and they take such great care with them. She and her family spend lots of time outdoors and playing with the pups and snuggling too. They always come home happily worn out. Cannot recommend enough!”
“Tonya did a remarkable job watching our dog! She was attentive to our dog's needs, was in great communication with us throughout his stay, and I had peace of mind knowing my dog was well cared for. I highly recommend Tonya!”
“Julie, Jesse, and their family took such great care of my Pepper! It was my first time boarding him but he was in such great hands. I got lots of communication/updates, photos, and clarifying questions when things arose. Pepper got top notch treatment!”
“Extremely considerate and sent me updates and pictures of my cat! Consistently responded on time and made accommodations for my schedule change. Top tier cat boarders thanks again Elizabeth and Erik!”
“Jenny and fam were amazing! I felt comfortable with her from the moment we showed up at her house. They loved on Mocha and she looked like she adjusted quickly and was part of the family. The pictures she sent made me smile. Thank you for providing such a loving and safe home! We will be back.”
“Our standard poodle stayed with John and Teri earlier this year while we were gone for a long trip, and then again a second time this weekend. We know he is spoiled and loved and feels right at home both by the photos and updates John and Teri share as well as how our dog acts when we drop him off and pick him up. We are so grateful to know he is having a good time when we are gone! John and Teri are wonderful!”
“Jenny and Mark took excellent care of our dog over 2 weeks. Communication was easy and we received regular updates. I would definitely have them dog sit again!”
“Rozalyn is our new primary dog-sitter. We finally found out sitter who share the same vision! Rosalyn is wonderful and caring! She took really good care of Kit, our senior chihuahua mix and included her in the family. Kit comes home happy and content!”
“Exceptional loving care! Outstanding communication, photos and videos of Otis' stay. We went on vacation. So did Otis! Such a comfort to us knowing Otis was happy and secure.”
“Sierra was so thoughtful and considerate, very easy to work with as a Rover home for our extended holiday weekend. We loved the daily pictures. Thank you so much, Sierra!”
“Dawn and her family cared for our dog like he was their own. We loved the daily picture updates. Dawn exceeded all expectations and we will definitely be using her again the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Dave was great to take care of Zema! He sent regular updates and pictures which is always helpful to know that she is settling in and having a good time. Until next time, Dave!”

Brea did a great job hosting our dog, Nala. She treated her as if she were her own. She sent daily updates and photos and was quick to respond to communications. She provided lots of attention, snuggles, and exercise for my fur baby while I was away. I would definitely book with Brea again!
I first met Charles at the Stillwater dog park where he was exercising another client’s dog, and it was clear to me from the start that he was both capable with and kind to animals. When I told him we needed someone to stay with our two dogs in our home for three nights while we were away, he agreed to come by to meet my husband. After spending time with him and reading his existing reviews on Rover, we decided that we could trust him with both our dogs and our home and booked him for the weekend. We had a fantastic weekend away and came back to two very happy dogs who had clearly gotten a lot of exercise and a house that he left tidy and clean. Charles is caring, trustworthy, and detail oriented, and a fantastic dog uncle! Thank you, Charles!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Stillwater is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $56 per night.

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.
94% of sitters in Stillwater 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 Stillwater home-away-from-home, 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 Stillwater.
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 Stillwater 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 , 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 .
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.
