“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.”
“This was my dogs' first extended stay at someone's house and I will definitely board again. My oldest dog gets stressed out at kennels, so the most important thing to me is a stress-free environment where he feels comfortable to play, but also to relax. He got all of this, and from the pics Mike sent, seemed to be more than comfortable. I also liked that there are plenty of dogs for my youngest to play her heart out. I think it was the perfect environment for them! Thanks again!”
“Monika and her pet family were wonderful with my two dogs. My dogs got along well with her pets and loved the large, fenced back yard. My older dog is deaf and has some GI issues requiring medication which Monika took care of for me. The pictures she sent on a daily basis showed how happy they were and cared for. They stayed for a week and loved every minute with her family.”
“Carman was a wonderful sitter for my pup! He was returned to me happy and clean. I would recommend carman to anyone who wants their pet taken care of. You can tell that Carman really loves dogs to because Bud was spoiled the entire time with love and attention (: we will be using Carman as our regular sitter from now on. Thank you so much Carman!”
“Monica was fantastic! Daily updates with pictures. We dropped our corgi off to her for a whole week and we were worry free our whole vacation! Also let us add an extra day to our reservation at the last minute. Would highly recommend! Very friendly as well ?”
“Katie and her two pups were the best hosts! Whenever Katie send over pictures, I could tell my dog was comfortable and happy! Would highly recommend booking with her”
“Communication with Brittni was wonderful. She provide daily updates on how my dog was doing, along with photos. Our dog had a nice stay with her, her dog & family. Thank you! I will definitely consider leaving my dog with her again!”
“Kyle provided a comfortable stay for my dog Len's first Rover experience. Even though it was a pretty short stay it was so nice to get pictures and an update on how Len was doing. Will definitely be using Kyle again!”
“Luke & Rachel took such great care of our dog, Goose! They were so great with communication and details, I felt very comfortable and relaxed having our girl stay with them, and would book again for sure. :)”
“Robert sent photos and videos everyday. He really picked up on our dog's personalities. We will definitely use him again and recommend him to others. The dogs had a great time!”
“My wife and I were looking to find someone who cared as much as us for our dog. We found that with Trudy and her family. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to care for our dog. She sent us updates and photos that put us at ease knowing our dog was well cared for. I highly recommend Trudy and will definately use her in the future.”
“They were very friendly and took great care of my dogs. One of my dogs is very shy but was still able to open up to them and trust them very quickly. I also appreciated being given regular updates and photos of how they were doing.”
“Allene was so responsive and took great care of our pup. She sent updates at least daily with photos. Our dog had a great stay and came home tired after playing with her dogs as well.”
“I was very comfortable with Danielle and Chad. My dogs were well cared for, I didn't have a moment of concern. It was the first time leaving Lola, they were patient with her although she was rather skittish. I highly recommend them if you need care for your dogs.”
“Our dogs were so happy and loved! They felt comfortable enough to show their personalities, and loved their new friends. Even our grumpy old man came around.”
“Janine will definitely be our go-to dog sitter. She gave our pup all the attention she could have dreamed for and makes a point to get to know the dogs she watches and cares for them as individuals being keen to their needs and wants.”
“Stan was a wonderful caregiver to our dog, Harley. He made us feel comfortable by asking a lot of questions about the care and feeding of him. He sent a photo and an update each day. His home was well set up for dogs and it was a very chill place for Harley to relax. We would absolutely have Stan watch our dog again!”
“Lauren and James did such an amazing job with our dog while we were out of town for a week. They sent awesome updates every day and such cute pictures. Winston felt right at home with them and they loved him like their own. He probably had more fun with them than he does at home! He came back fulfilled and happy. We will absolutely work with Lauren and James again when we have a trip come up.”
“We had Mika & Andrew board our 6 year old boxer from March 13th through the 20th, 2023 and they were great. They constantly sent us daily updates, pictures, and let us know how Moxie was doing overall (feedings, walks, playing, etc). This was our first time using a Roover so I was extremely nervous on how well Moxie would handle it so the added pictures and updates definitely helped ease my mind. I would highly recommend Mika & Andrew for you boarding needs.”

Carolyn and her family are the best sitters I could ever hope for. My dog gets so excited to go to their home and I know she’s always having a good time because Carolyn sends regular photos and updates. I felt confident my pup was in good hands when I went on a one month trip. I would recommend Carolyn and her family to anyone looking for a dog sitter you can trust!
Emily was great to work with! She was helpful in working with our schedule to meet and great as well as with drop-off and pick-up. She provided updates and photos of Charlie throughout the weekend that assured us Charlie was in good hands. So thankful for the care she provided!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Afton is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 2,224 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Afton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Afton 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 Afton 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 Afton.
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 Afton 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.
