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!

Abbie and her family took great care of our puppy. It was our first time leaving him with someone we didn’t know and we could not be happier. She sent many updates and picture and took great care to make sure she knew all of our dog’s needs. We could relax knowing our pup was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend Abbie!

Karen is truly incredible. She takes care of your four legged kid like it is her own and does not miss a beat. She gave daily updates, exposed our pup to things he has never been exposed to, and is genuinely a great human being. We are incredibly grateful for the time that we could spend away completely worry free with our dog in Karen’s care.

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.

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!

Katie is an amazing sitter. She watched our dog Ramen for a week. She kept him active with walks and took so many pictures/videos. Her dogs are so cute and they became bffs. We were so lucky to have Katie as our sitter. Her communication is exceptional and I can tell she really loves what she does. Please have Ramen back!

Julie took great care of Molly for me while I had to go out of town for about a week. Her dog, Gilbert, and cats were good companions, she has a great fenced-in backyard, and she kept me updated with pics and commentary about Molly's stay. Will definitely be back, thanks Julie!

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!

FAQs for Boarding - Stillwater

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stillwater on Rover is $44.4 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 2,192 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Stillwater. 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 Stillwater 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 Stillwater 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 Stillwater 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 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 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.
