“What a fun retreat for dogs! Ty had his own space, played outside often and we not only got to check in on him with the room camera, but K9 Country Club sent photos and updates as well. He came home happy and tired! We will be back!”
“Kristi went above and beyond for our little guy, Bear! We received many updates with pictures and videos during his weekend stay that made us feel comforted. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Meghann and her family took great care of our 6 month old puppy while we were on vacation. We received daily pic updates and communication. We’ll definitely book with Meghann again in the future!”
“Andrea is absolutely amazing. She takes care of our dogs like they are her own. The dogs are excited when we go to drop them off! She has an amazing backyard that is fenced in so they get lots of playtime! She sends updates along with pictures throughout their stay, which is so appreciated!”
“Kay and her family were excellent to work with and took really good care of Lucy. I felt like we were leaving her with a trusted family member. I also appreciated the regular updates and photos. I never felt at all worried, and will absolutely book with her again. Thank you!!!”
“Always dependable. When I secure a spot for Murphy he gets more than just daycare....he gets authentic love and guidance and comes home calm and relaxed. I appreciate the dog socialization Murphy gets from many Rover homes but in this home he gets the individual human attention I can't always provide him as they don't take many pets at a time. I really appreciate these two dog lovers!”
“Christina was wonderful with our 2 Cavalier King Charles dogs! They had a great weekend with her. We appreciated all of the photo updates and we will definitely be using her services again!”
“Awesome experience with Brit and Matt. Thank you so much for letting Monroe take care of you for a weekend. I can tell she had a great time because she is exhausted.”
“Ramanda and her daughters were wonderful and took great care of my 4mo old puppy! They walked him, played with him and made him feel at home just like he was their dog. We will definitely ask them for care in the future!”
“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!!!”
“Our dog had tons of fun playing with the other dogs at Amy’s. Amy did a great job introducing each dog to our dog individually so our dog didn’t get overwhelmed. Thanks for making our dog feel so comfortable Amy!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Luna has always stayed at a kennel. I don’t think we will be using the kennel anymore! Luna loved every second at Maureen’s! Thank you so much!”
“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.”
“Amanda was great!! She was very accommodating with us for drop off and pick up times.Shr was great at making sure our dogs routine was kept. Would definitely book again!!”
“Olive had an amazing time getting to play on the farm with Trudy and her dogs. We loved the updates with pictures and will definitely be trusting Trudy to watch Olive in the future.”
“Maria was absolutely wonderful. She took such great care of my pup, Baylee, and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the start that she’s attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely loves what she does. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Maria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“What a wonderful sitter! My partner and I loved all the pictures and messages sent throughout the day, it really put us at ease. I will absolutely be contacting Yuli again for any future doggie day care needs. Our dogs loved her and you could tell she and her family really loved them back too.”

Repeat customer! Had The Littles stay with Meghann again for over a week and again so incredibly happy and grateful!! She and her kids clearly love them and give lots of affection and attention. They were in great spirits when I picked them up and didn't give me any stink-eye from being upset that I "abandoned" them lol My pups are always in great hands with Meghann and her kids!
We loved Lindsay! She was so great with Moose, and we really appreciated the pictures she sent while we were away. We loved how she let him just make himself at home with her, took him on plenty of walks, and even let him keep a toy he fell in love with during his stay! We will definitely have Moose visit Lindsay more often!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elk River on Rover is $38.85 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 1,736 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elk River. 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 Elk River 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 Elk River 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 Elk River 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 Elk River.
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 Elk River 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.
