“Kristi did an amazing job watching our Pug! She is so attentive and loving! She is truly a gem and we're so happy we found her!! We will DEFINITELY be booking with her from now on.”
“Sophia and Travis were great! This was our first time with them, and I was a bit anxious. Sophia was very patient with me and super responsive to my questions. Our golden retriever had a blast with them and the other dogs. We will definitely consider using them again if our regular kennel is booked like it was this time. They took great care of our pup! Thank you!”
“I’m very new to this pet sitting thing but I think overall it seemed to go okay. I needed to board her due to a move. Skye is busy checking out the new place. I would use her again for sure.”
“Sara was SO great!! She was so accommodating, especially considering our stay was somewhat last minute. We loved receiving the updates and messages on how Sunny was doing. We will be requesting Sara from this point on!”
“I had a last minute cancellation and Christina was so quick to respond and very accommodating. She took very good care of my two dogs. She sent lots of pictures and updates. She seems to really understand dogs and took great care in introducing her own to mine. She has a lovely home in a great neighborhood with a big fenced yard. Will definitely be calling on her again. Dogs were happy when they came back home!”
“Cindy was super nice! Also made sure we got lots of pictures and video of our puppy! Would recommend her to anyone. She was also very responsive with messages and coordinating everything! If we need it again we will definately be checking with her first!”
“Kay and her family were absolutely amazing with my little Ralo. I received pictures and updates throughout his stay there; which was very comforting to me and my family. Kay was very attentive and even introduced me to some new treats that Ralo thoroughly enjoys now. I would 10/10 recommend them to anyone with a pet they love.”
“Enrique took great care of my dog Georgia. He sent lots of updates and photos, which really gave me peace of mind. I could tell Georgia was happy and well cared for—highly recommend him!”
“Amazing! Thomas took such great care of our Aggie! Sent us pictures and kept us updated while on our 4 day trip. We were worried as we never had her away but Thomas made sure to let us know how it was going, and make Aggie feel comfortable and at home. Aggie is a BIG girl too! But she had fun! Thank you again! See you next time :)”
“Meghann and her kids were FANTASTIC with our 3 month old puppy. We received photos of our puppy throughout her stay and we could tell she felt comfy, like it was a second home. We look forward to the next stay!”
“Alicia was great with our dog and loved getting updates and photos of him. He was happy when we picked him up and could tell our dog had a good experience with Alicia. We plan to use her again.”
“Thank you Regan for taking great care of Rax! I feel completely comfortable leaving him with you and he’s a happy tired boy after he returns home. The updates and pictures are always appreciated. I’m also grateful for your flexibility and compassion. See you again soon :)”
“This was our first time using Rover. Linnea and Nate made it a great experience-a very kind family! Communication was great, and Rockey was well taken care of. Thanks so much!”
“Rene is great and my dog King loves her. Apparently he sneaked out under a small rabbit hole - not her fault cuz King tends to dig and look for where he can escape. He returned without problem and I will always continue to use Rene as my doggy sitter. She takes great care of him!!”
“Meg was amazing with our Jasper! We could tell he had a great time with her and got his own little vacation while we were on ours! She was great at communicating with us and kept us updated every day on how he was doing! I was able to fully relax and put my mind at ease seeing the cute picture updates on his adventures throughout the day and knowing that he was being loved and well taken care of while we were away!”
“First experience Maddie has had with boarding and it couldn’t have gone any better! Thank you for your patience with my girl and getting her comfortable prior to the booking.”
“Mayumi provided the utmost best care for my senior dog, Moose. He stayed in her home while I spent 12 days abroad, a healthy and clean environment for any pet’s care. I received daily photos and updates of my dog and she even ran out to the store get more dog food when the food I left with her ran out. I would recommend anyone to Mayumi. 10/10 Service.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Big Lake
Karlee was great. Our dog can be a little anxious with new places and Karlee did a great job welcoming her. Loved the photo updates of her stay there with Karlee. Karlee's home is set up with a priority of dogs in mind and we were very pleased with everything she did to give our dog a fun place to stay while we were away. Thanks again Karlee!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Big Lake on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 820 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Big Lake. 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.
97% of Big Lake 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 Big Lake 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 Big Lake 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 Big Lake.
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 Big Lake 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.
