“Caitlin did a beautiful job with Murphy, our rescue boy. He gets nervous when strangers come over so we brought him to her house. She had a nice room for him to relax, a big fenced yard in the country and a calm, positive demeanor. He has not been sat by anyone but family, but we will definitely be taking Murphy to her again. She even gave us fresh-caught Alaskan salmon to bring to our daughter, who had just had a baby. Hoping she becomes a regular part of Murphy's life! We highly recommend her.”

“Really enjoyed having our 2 dogs stay with Sara! She was flexible with drop off & pick up times which was very helpful. I also loved that she offered to let me come see her space before having my dogs stay over! Gave me peace of mind! And she even sent me some videos of my dogs playing which was super thoughtful! Will book again for sure :)”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was in middle school. Since then, I've become a dog trainer and can provide care for a wide variety of dogs, including dogs with additional care needs. I'm an AKC evaluator and I spend my free time competing with my dogs in a variety of sports! I take special care and pride in the animals I care for. I have 3.5 acres for your pet to romp around throughout the day (while supervised of course). I work hybrid so I spend 50% of business days working from home. On the weekends, I don't have to go in-office. My entire life revolves around my dogs and adding your pet into our routine will be an easy transition! I have a 3.5 acre yard and 5 of my own dogs. I keep client dogs separate from my personal dogs and other client dogs unless discussed and agreed upon beforehand so you know your pup is safe. All of my dogs are friendly and play together easily.

“My two little girls seemed to have had a ball. I have been very apprehensive about leaving them with anyone after losing my little Olivia nearly 2 years ago to a thief who took her out of a friend's backyard while she was watching her for me. The communication and pictures really helped to put me at ease. I will definitely be using them again.”

“Renee was amazing with my puppies! She was very flexible, and took very good care of my boys. I loved getting a couple updates and pictures of them through their stay overnight as well as a fun puppy report card when I pick them up that detailed their meals, sleep, mood, all the things you want to know when you leave your fur babies with someone! Would recommend her again to anyone!”

“Our family is so grateful for the care Cindy and her family gave Nala. Since we rarely leave Nala with sitters, we were initially nervous, but Cindy’s kindness put us at ease right away. After a successful meet-and-greet, Nala settled in perfectly with her dogs. ​Throughout the stay, Cindy was incredibly communicative, sending frequent photo updates regarding Nala’s eating and behavior. She was also very flexible and understanding when our return flight was delayed. Nala came home happy, healthy, and content. We will definitely be booking with Cindy again!”

About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was 10. I am currently accepting to take of dogs in my home whether they doggy daycare, overnight stay, extended overnights, and dog walking/feeding. I love to give dogs all kinds of cuddles and love. I understand that dogs speak to us though actions in which I am very empathetic with. I will be patient, kind amd caring showing your dog(s) lots of attention and love. I have excellent references. I'm currently working part time, so while I'm gone I can crate your dog but will be back within 4 hours for a potty break! Im available between 5pm- 7pm for drop offs and pick ups Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday from 9am -5pm I have a home where your dog can roam or I can crate them if need be. I will keep them on a leash if when we go outside and I don't live far from a very large dog park where I can take your dog to play catch if you are comfortable with that of course.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Clear Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Clear Lake is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $33 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.

As of October 2026, there are 227 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clear Lake. 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.

98% of sitters in Clear Lake 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 Clear Lake 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 Clear Lake.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Clear 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 , 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.
