“Hather had an amazing time with Kyle, who took the best care of our big old guy and was attentive to his needs. Thanks Kyle for making a home-away-from-home for our dog!”
“We had a great experience boarding with Susie! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. In fact, after seeing the photos and getting reports, we were worried our dog may not want to come home with us! Thank you!”
“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.”
“Any was great and really flexible with me as far as pick up and drop off times. I think her rates are really reasonable and she was awesome at sending me pics so I would be comfortable knowing my Tucker was doing fine. I will definitely use her again!”
“Kari was wonderful in coordinating a pretty last minute meet and greet when my plans for my dog, Willa, fell through. I could tell Kari and Randy were caring and I felt very comfortable leaving Willa in their home. I received videos and pictures daily of Willa that helped with my own separation anxiety. Kari was very communicative while Willa was in their care. They also have a sweet little girl that made the pictures even better. Will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Bridget did a great job watching our pup and he seemed to have a great time. They went on lots of walks and he enjoyed her home, even her two cats. She sent photos and kept in contact with us throughout the week. Would recommend!”
About: Dogs hold a very special place in my heart, and your pup’s happiness, health, and comfort will always be my priority. I recently said goodbye to my sweet dog after 12 wonderful years together. She was happiest as an only dog, so while she was with me, I honored her needs by keeping our home just for her. Now, I’m ready to share that love and attention with other dogs. I know firsthand how nerve-racking it can be to leave your dog in someone else’s care. That’s why I’ll be especially attentive to keeping you updated with photos and messages, so you can feel reassured that your pup is comfortable, cared for, and having a wonderful time. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, or simply a little company and a cozy place to rest, I’ll take the time to learn their routine and what makes them happy. My goal is to give your dog loving care and give you peace of mind while you’re away. Since I’m home full-time, your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate their usual feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, and rest. Whether they enjoy being close by or prefer a quiet spot to themselves, I’ll help them settle in and feel comfortable. Caring for your pup will be a natural part of my day, with their happiness and well-being always a priority. A typical day in my home will include plenty of attention, companionship, and time to relax. I’m home and available to give your dog as much care and company as they need, and I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable. With your permission, we can enjoy walks, spend time together in the backyard, or settle in for some quiet company—whatever suits your pup’s personality and energy level. When it’s time to rest, they can choose from several dog beds, or you’re welcome to bring their favorite bed, blanket, or crate so they have something familiar. I understand that dogs can feel nervous when they’re away from their person, so I’ll give them patience, reassurance, and time to settle in. My goal is for your dog to feel happy, safe, and well cared for, and for you to feel comfortable knowing they’re in loving hands.
“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!”
“Roland had such a good time! She treated my baby like her own and made him feel safe! Picture updates and check ins and fast communication! Thank you so much we highly recommend Betsy!”
About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was 6 years old. I’ve had German Shepards, Pugs, Labs, Boxers, puggles and mixed breeds. I love all dogs~ and am currently dog free. I will care for yours as I would my own- like children. 🥰. I’ve had a long career in Human Resources, and with that comes great responsibility, trust and integrity. I have clean background- not even a parking ticket. I enjoy playing with dogs, petting them (maybe some smooches as evidenced in my photos) and giving plenty of love and attention. I can walk dogs, feed them, give medicine, throw a few balls - whatever their favorite activity is just let me know! I have had special needs dogs as well- so special circumstances are not a problem. Thanks!
“My pup was so well cared for by Debbie and Mike. I received lots of daily updates and photos, and they have the most adorable and lovely kiddos. They gave him lots of love and walks. I would definitely bring him back!”
“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.”
“We booked with Kristin R. for a weekend trip. We made the reservation at the last minute and Kristin was great at accommodating us. Our dog is old with some health problems, along with a finicky appetite. Kristin did a great job dealing with his medications and feeding. She was wonderful at keeping us appraised of his stay with her. I’d be happy to book with her again!”
“Jenny and Mark were very accommodating. This was our first time using rover and we were very impressed. Our pup is big and they sent us messages and were always fast to respond. He came home tired!”
“We were very happy with how well our dog was cared for. Tom kept us in the loop and his experience with dogs was evident. Our beagle is a rescue and has seperation anxiety . Spending time at Tom’s house was a very good way for our dog to be happy and comfortable while we were away.”
“Sierra welcomed our dog for a great weekend play date. We appreciated that she was able to offer flexibility with drop off and pickup times since we were driving from a few hours away with a toddler. Gadget returned to us happy and we know from the pictures that he had a ton of fun playing and sun bathing with her dog.”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arden Hills
We are very protective of our two dogs, and leaving them without a family member was hard to do. Fernanda kept us well informed, daily. She followed instructions and adapted to their needs. When we picked the dogs up, they were happy to see us and be home, but seemed to miss the connection they formed with Fernanda and her daughter, and their dog.
We are so fortunate to have found Kari and her wonderful family. We did a meet-and-greet with our dog prior to the stay and immediately became comfortable with her family and her wonderful home. During the stay Kari sent photos and updates every day as was very good at communication. She was also very flexible with us regarding pickup and drop off times. I will absolutely look to Kari again in the future if we need dog care again.
Lorraine is so, so sweet and clearly adores every animal she meets. Our mastiff/newfie mix, Moose, had a wonderful stay with her. She gave him tons of love and kept him active! It meant a lot to us that she was able to understand and keep up with his medications and supplements as well. She kept us very well updated on his days. We will absolutely trust Lorraine with Moose again!
Kelly and Jim took amazing care of my dog while I was out of the country for two weeks! They have a great house/backyard setup + a sweet pup that my dog adored. Kelly and Jim were good with communication and keeping me updated throughout. Will definitely plan to book with them again in the future!
Shevon and Ian took excellent care of my poodle, Basca. They even set aside a request to watch another dog because it was her first time and she can get overwhelmed. And they understood about her being a flight risk. They sent me pictures and reports every day. In addition to all of this, they’re just as nice as they can be. I absolutely recommend them! -Tracy Wilson
Amy took great care of my dog Maple! Maple is dog-reactive and takes a while to warm up to people, but Amy showed him nothing but patience and made it a great, fun stay for him. She asked great questions at our meet and greet and when I dropped him off to make sure she knew his favorite toys and games, his meal and treat habits, and how to make him feel supported. I felt assured he was in safe and attentive hands! She even agreed to keep him an extra night when our flight got delayed, and her flexibility and understanding turned a minor nightmare into a small hiccup. Apologies to the neighbors that had to listen to Maple bark all weekend, but huge thanks to Amy! 💖
We were so glad that Jada took care of our very senior dog! He's 17 years old and never boarded before. She took care of his feeding and medication needs, gave him frequent walks, and did a great job of communicating. We were able to do our cruise, and our dog came home healthy and happy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Arden Hills is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 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 2,666 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Arden Hills. 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 Arden Hills 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 Arden Hills 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 Arden Hills.
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 Arden Hills 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.
