“Sophia was very flexible and sent us many pictures which we could tell our dog was very happy there! Will definitely use her services again and would recommend to others.”
“Kristi is awesome sitter for our 4 legged friend. She loves spending time with Kristi and gets so spoiled with lots of attention. We will definitely continue to use her services.”
“Thank you Karlee for taking care of Carmen! Carmen travels with us a lot and it’s so helpful for us to have a safe place for her stay when we are away from home and have non dog activities planned.”
“Sara did a wonderful job watching Fenton for us. She made sure he was comfortable and happy, sending updates and pictures the entire time we were gone. We felt good knowing he was being well taken care of while we were out of town. We will definitely be asking Sara to watch Fenton for us again in the future.”
“I will definitely rebook with Christina again! This was my first time using this service, and I couldn’t be happier. I don’t think my dog wanted to come home :)”
“Kay and family was definitely a godsend in my last minute attempt to find care for my dog, Henry. Daily updates with pictures and videos and great communication helped me relax knowing he was in good hands. My dog has special needs in the center where he has attachment issues and there was always somebody home at Kay‘s house to be with Henry and her family is just as calming and sweet as what you would picture from her description and photos. Not only a great dog sitter but an amazing human being in life! Can’t thank you all enough!”
“Amy was wonderful and was able to care for our dog on short notice while we took a spontaneous trip over a weekday holiday! She was so understanding and accommodating when we had to modify our dates/times. She also provided a ton of updates throughout our entire trip which we appreciated. Thanks, Amy, and we’ll definitely be back!”
“My dog seems to enjoy staying with Thomas and Sue and she doesn't like being away from me so that is comforting. They have a nice mellow dog that she gets along well with so I think it is fun for her since she doesn't get opportunity to play with other dogs often. They give her lots of attention and care for her well.”
“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!”
“We highly recommend Brenda and Al! Great communication, flexible and took exceptional care of our big guy. It was so nice to go on vacation and know he was with genuine and good people who cared for him like he was their own! Thank you!! Steve and Laurie”
“Rene was terrific with my dog King. He had never been anywhere overnight before except with family members so I was a little nervous because he doesn’t do well with strangers. Rene won his confidence and mine. Thanks Rene.”
“Ramanda and her family were wonderful caregivers to our senior dog! She took the time to really understand his feeding schedule, needs, and routine. It was clear from the her updates and photos that he received lots of love and attention during his stay at their home.”
“Linnea and Nate did an excellent job caring for our golden retriever Graham!! We enjoyed seeing pictures of Graham throughout the week and knew he was in great care. Graham was welcomed into their family from the start. Would definitely recommend and rebook in the future!!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mayumi! She took such great care of our dog while we were on vacation and gave us so much peace of mind. She regularly sent pictures and updates so we could see how he was doing, which we really appreciated. It was clear he was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend!!”
“We had a very last minute booking for our puppy and Trudy was more than accommodating. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, and even tips about her training. We knew Annie was in good hands and she had a blast- we will be bringing her back again :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Big Lake
Amy was amazing with my puppies! We had to go on an extended vacation and Amy was available. We set up a meat and greet and found she was very experienced with taking care of animals and was a very good fit for our puppies. She also has a fenced-in yard. Throughout our vacation she kept in contact sending us pictures, videos and updates on the puppies. We were very confident that they were left in good hands. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone and hope to also use her services in the future.
Karlee did a good job with my 3 dogs. My small senior needs extra care and is needy due to his age and aches and pains. Karlee did a good job keeping me informed on what was going on with the dogs and sending pictures. I appreciate the care and extra work she did to watch my senior dog and othee two pups.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Big Lake on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 835 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.
