“Hazel was so excited to be back in the care of Lan. She loves Lan’s dog Lucy and is happy and relaxed when we pick her up from her stays there. We’ve already booked her again.”
“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Ashley is Incredible! Ashley watched our French Bulldog, Blue Bell, for 5 days, and she was absolutely wonderful! Frenchies definitely come with their own unique quirks and big personalities, but Ashley didn't skip a beat. She completely embraced Blue Bell's quirkiness and made sure she felt comfortable, happy, and loved the entire time. It is such a relief to find a sitter who truly understands and appreciates your dog's individual personality. Ashley is a genuine dog lover—reliable, attentive, and is very knowledgeable about different types of dogs. We will absolutely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care!”
“Kona had a great stay with Brittany. She was responsive when we missed Kona and needed a photo or two and she had great communication about each day. I would recommend her to friends.”
“Brenda & family were amazing with Aspen. Aspen felt right at home and happy. I received regular updates and knew she was well taken care of. Highly recommended.”
“My baby Toby was happy to be with him. He made sure my baby was taken care of. He was always updating and sending pictures everyday. I was glad that I found him here in Rover.com. We will book him again! Very very awesome and nice person!”
“Erica and Phil were very warm and welcoming! I felt very comfortable with my dog Bruce staying at their home. They sent me several updates with photos, so I felt reassured that Bruce was having a nice time with them! I’d use them to board Bruce again in a heartbeat!”
“Our little Hazel had a great stay with Kelsey and Jordan! They are real pros. They were very sensitive to her emotions and she warmed up to them instantly, which she doesn't usually do with strangers. They are very careful and give the kind of individual attention that we wanted for Hazel. She had such a good time with them she's eager to go back!”
“We had a great experience with Mckenzie! This was our first time leaving our dogs with a sitter, so we were a little nervous, but she made us feel so much better. She sent us photos and kept us updated on how they were doing and adapting throughout their stay. Everything went smoothly, and our dogs seemed happy and comfortable. We really appreciate how well she took care of them and would definitely book with her again!”
“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”
“This was our first Rover experience and I couldn't be happier! We had open communication and photos the whole time. Carrie was great for Burt and even made special accomodations. Highly recommend!!”
“Angela provides a kind, loving and stable second home to our rescue German shepherd mix Rufus. With family in the South and West, we take a lot of trips. Rufus can’t come on all of them. Angela is truly a saving angel who does everything she can to be available. Rufus is almost as excited to see her at the beginning of his stay as he is to see us at the end! Can’t recommend enough.”
“My dog was in good hands with Trudy and her family. Their dog Archie is so well mannered and got along with my dog well. Easter was tired from all the playtime and walks and slept great her first night back home! Highly recommend.”
“Rosangela is an amazing dog sitter. Excellent communication with fun daily updates. It was clear that my baby was in the best care with so much loving attention. I highly recommend her as she will be our go to every time.”
“Miriam was absolutely wonderful. This was our first night leaving our puppy and she sent updates and pictures and made us feel comfortable. And our puppy had a wonderful time with her and her sweet dog and was clearly very happy and comfortable there. We would highly recommend Miriam.”
“Debbie and Mike took great care of Thor. Thor was having some hip dysplasia kids, but, Debbie, Mike, and family gave Thor the attention he needed. Thor will definitely want to go back!”
“Very pleasant couple and adorable dog Luna. Send pictures and updates on Chester during his stay with them. Fenced yard was great with camera to know when the dogs wanted back in the house.”
“Deanna is amazing! Our Finn was so well taken care of and Deanna communicated daily with me to let me know he was doing. He got to relax outside, run around with his new furry friends and enjoyed lots of daily walks. I’m so grateful that we found Deanna!”
“Lydia was great! We left our dog cedar with her for one week during a family vacation. She was extremely flexible when our travel plans changed and we needed to add another day. She took lots of pictures and drop-off / pick-up were easy.”
“My dog Scout had the best weekend ever with Jessica, her husband, and their dog Cooper! They were incredibly accommodating with Scout’s needs, and even with my travel schedule when it got delayed. We will definitely be booking with them again!”

Dana and her family took great care of Finley while we were out of town for several days. She had great communication and shared pics while we were gone. Finley even got a bath, nail trim and cute bandana from them. She came home soft and well groomed. And they were very flexible with our early morning pickup after our flight which was much appreciated! Would definitely recommend and trust them with her care again!
This was our dog’s third stay with Gabbi, and it was wonderful. Marty ran up to her door as we approached her house and clearly was excited to see her and be in her home. Gabbi sent us photos and was an excellent communicator throughout his stay. It’s a gift to have a trusted person to care for Marty when we’re away!
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.
I highly recommend Ryan if you are looking for a reliable, communicative, and professional sitter. I needed several days of watching for my older dog, and Ryan was more than willing to keep an eye on her for several days. He was respectful, and he also went above and beyond to help me with transportation due to an unexpected delay/issue on my end. I tend to believe your dog is the best indicator of how things went, and mine whined for several hours after Ryan dropped her off. She also kept watch out the window, seemingly hoping he would come back. I think that speaks for itself, and I will definitely rebook with Ryan for any future needs. Finding a trustworthy sitter is tough, though again, I (and Ava) definitely recommend Ryan!
Juneau absolutely loved her time with Robert and he definitely went the extra mile to make sure she had everything she needed. He also provided regular photo updates - still getting to "see" her on a regular basis made such a difference. I would book with Robert again without question and I know Juneau looks forward to the next time she gets to hang out with him.

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 West Saint Paul 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 West Saint Paul 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 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 , 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.
