“Susie is absolutely fantastic! She has created a loving space in her home for dogs. She is very attentive to each different kind of dog. She sends the best pictures! It really puts my mind at ease when I leave my pup with her, knowing that she will get all the love and attention she deserves in a household environment.”
“My dog Charlie had a great time with Doc and Heather. They provided daily updates about how he was doing with pictures included. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Charlie was in good hands. He must have had a good time because he came back happy and tired.”
“We had the best experience with Rachel watching our old-lady-dog. She was so warm and inviting when we met a few days before the stay. She texted pictures and little updates throughout the trip. It was a fantastic experience and we will definitely book with Rachel the next time we need a dog-sitter!”
“Bethany took awesome care of my dog! My dog is a very anxious guy and it really eased my own anxiety to know that he was with someone who could handle his quirks.”

“Betsy was great with Neo, she communicated with me throughout the weekend and even got him to start listening to the "stay" command. I'd be happy to rebook with her anytime I'm out of town!”
“It may sound cliche, but in this case it also true that Robert truly enjoys being with and caring for your dog. He’s responsive, conscientious, and sent a few great photos of our dog relaxing on her bed - she appeared to immediately feel safe and cared for. Thank you!”
“Ashley did a wonderful job watching my goldendoodle Crosby! She sent an update and/or picture everyday to let us know what kind of activities they got up to each day. I was very happy with how much exercise she gave Crosby, sometimes I was worried that he was having so much fun that he wouldn't even want to come home! Knowing that Crosby was in such good hands with Ashley while I was gone gave me a lot of peace of mind.”
“Michelle was amazing with Arlo!! We got so many updates and she was very communicative. Our puppy is very energetic and she handled it like a pro. Even got him to start taking naps which we will be continuing! The whole family showed him love and we were so grateful to know he was safe and extremely cared for while we were gone. Absolutely recommend her!”
“My dogs has such an amazing experience, they really felt at home and had lots of space to play with their new friends. I loved receiving all the updates and how comforting and accommodating Bryan and his family were. Will definitely book again!”

“Our dog had such a great time with Robert, his wife and their sweet dog Maizy. Robert was very communicative and sent at least a few photos every day. They took our dog on lots of walks in the parks nearby and really welcomed her into their home. We will definitely use them again soon!”
“Anna was the most gracious and welcoming caregiver for Luna. We were on a 10 day trip abroad and her communication was stellar. Her home and backyard are comfortable and ideal for pups! We will definitely use Anna again!”

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!
Mario and I had a meet and greet about a week before she took care of Zoey. Mario is friendly and gave me an overview of what he would do for Zoey. After seeing him with Zoey, I was convinced that Mario was the right person to care for her. Zoey can be anxious around strangers. When I picked her up, she was calm and I could sense that she had been treated well. I appreciated the photos that Mario sent to me.
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Our dog has rear paralysis and requires extra care, and they went above and beyond to learn his routine and make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. Their patience, compassion, and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend them, especially if your pet has special needs!
Robert sent lots of pictures and videos and updated me often on how Asher was doing. Asher got along great with his two dogs and they were best friends by the end of the stay. Robert has a great yard for dog play and also takes them to a local park. I would definitely book with Robert again.
Deborah was so kind and attentive to my dog. I know this both from the many photos and, even more, because my shy (recently rescued) dog warmed up to her within two days (a miracle). I also appreciated Deborah’s care in asking for us to do a home visit before I left, so she could meet and get a sense of my dog (and vice versa). My dog also loved her fenced-in yard area, where she hung out while Deborah gardened. She took my dog on good walks along with her dog. (I asked her to do them together b/c it steadies my dog.) She has a very comfortable room set up for visiting dogs so they can get used to her and her home on their own timetable. She spent lots of time with my dog in that room until she started to come on her own accord to other areas of her home. She has some pet stairs, which I appreciated b/c my dog has a bad back and can’t jump down from heights. I will definitely book with Deborah again! 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.

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 West 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 West 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 West 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 West 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 West 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.
