“Friendly and loving! We couldn’t be more pleased of the level of care Renee and Jim gave to our Nella Mae. Thank you to you both for accepting our holiday request. The meet and greet was a great idea and your home felt warm and welcoming. We loved the pictures and updates you sent. These small gestures made our vacation much more comfortable, knowing our baby was in good hands. We will certainly think of you again.”
“Our dog loved staying with Judy and we felt at ease during our 9 day vacation knowing Swish was getting the love and attention he does from us-if not more. We will definitely book with Judy again in the future, but probably never stay away from Swish that long again! We missed him.”
“I cannot recommend Abe strongly enough! My pup had a fantastic time staying with him, and has a new play buddy in Stella. Abe is highly responsive to any and all messages, sends plenty of photos and updates, and is a genuinely warm and friendly guy. Abe is definitely my new top choice whenever my pup needs a place to stay!!”
“Nicole is an awesome sitter! We have two dogs that are often scared of other dogs. Nicole and family always had people around looking after and cuddling with our two guys. And her pets were great with our dogs! Nicole sent daily pics of our pups enjoying laps and sofas. I would most certainly take my dogs back to Nicole and family in the future!”
“Lori and her family were wonderful hosts for our Great Dane Gretta! Through the week we received pictures and updates on Gretta's stay. Immediately we could tell she was welcomed in and was feeling right at home. We will definitely utilize Lori in the future and would highly recommend Lori if you need someone to trust with your puppy!”
“Darcie cared for Bruno with so much love and affection. We are so grateful to her for looking after him for 3 weeks. We felt always informed on how he was doing and felt at peace knowing he was enjoying the visit. We will ask Darcie to look after Bruno again soon.”
“Karen and her family were great! Maisy was treated like part of their family. She had space to run and play outside and inside she looked very comfortable. Lots of pictures and videos were shared. Thanks for the great care Maisy received!”
“Angela watched our 13 week old puppy over the weekend - she went above and beyond providing extra care and attention that is needed for a puppy! She kept us up to date with many pictures and videos over the three days that he was with her, and helped with his socialization as he got used to new people/places. Great communication which was much appreciated as it was our first time away from him, and our pup was nice and happily tired when we picked him up the last day. We would highly recommend using Angela!”
“Daniela watched my 4 month old puppy and I couldn’t be happier! She was extremely responsive when we reached out to her and continued communication with us the whole time! I got updates throughout everyday with pictures and messages on how my pup was doing! Even sent us home with some more treats and a bone! Will definitely be coming back to her!”
About: I treat every pet like family. You’ll get photo and video updates throughout each stay, so you’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I take time to learn your pets quirks and routines and love detailed instructions. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can provide real attention to your pet. Pets are a natural part of my day! I have a cat at home and we have lots of play time. I work from home full time and like to go on long walks or runs. I have a very flexible schedule, so any time sensitive schedules can easily be set. When pets stay with me I set up a space with their own bed and familiar items. I keep their feeding and potty schedule consistent. In your home, I follow your routines and send updates after each visit. As a pet owner myself, I keep an eye for changes in routine or behavior and I’ll contact you if anything seems off.
“Davis and Emma were wonderful! They have a great home for dogs with lots of space and I was so happy to see how comfortable my pups were there. I'm so grateful that Davis and Emma could look after my dogs while one of them was sick. I highly recommend Davis and Emma; my pups certainly will be back.”
“My dog, Tiger, was very well cared for during his stay at Heidy’s. She kept me informed about how he was adjusting and he enjoyed spending time in the big back yard. Her dogs are delightful too! I look forward to returning to Heidy’s in the future and also plan to utilize her grooming services.”
“This is my second time using Sydney to dog sit my dogs and it was a wonderful experience again! I highly recommend Sydney to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter. My dogs were very excited to go to her house and they looked very relaxed in all the pictures I received. She also let me know about a probable anxiety issue with one of my dogs upon pick up. Sydney was flexible with drop off and pick up times.”
“Donald was great with our usually nervous dog Duke. He sent updates with pictures and let us know how happy Duke was playing with his dogs during his stay. We will definitely book with Donald again.”
“Mary provided excellent care for our 2 pups while we were on vacation. She even got them a treat to distract them during fireworks! She has excellent communication skills and our dogs were well taken care of.”
“This was our first time boarding our puppy with Melinda over night. Through out the stay,we felt very comfortable with Melinda. It was very thoughtful and appreciated with her updates and providing fun filled activities for our puppy, Dini. Dini seemed like she had a blast. Would book again with Melinda!”

Amy was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs, Teddy and Lexie! She took such great care of them and sent us daily updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Teddy and Lexie had so much fun and were happy and well cared for! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Amy and would definitely book with her again in the future!
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 of Pet Boarding in Big Lake is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $40 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 861 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Big Lake. About 90% of Big Lake sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
