“Regan is amazing! We received pictures and updates every day that our dog stayed with her. She took him for walks, brought him outside a lot to play, and gave him lots of cuddles. We were so happy to see how well taken care of our dog was at the end of our trip!”

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.

“I cannot say enough good things about Tracy. I was genuinely so nervous boarding my dogs for the first time, and from the very beginning she made me feel completely at ease. She was warm, patient, reassuring, and so communicative the entire time. What really stood out to me is how naturally comfortable my dogs were with her. You can tell she truly understands animals and cares about them like they’re her own. She sent updates and photos, answered my anxious first-time-boarder questions with so much kindness, and made the whole experience feel safe and personal. Finding someone you can actually trust with your dogs is huge, and Tracy is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”

About: I currently am doing rover full time so you will never have to worry about your beloved fur babies being left un attended I will be home the whole time to care for them and give them my full attention. I worked at a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility for the past four years, so I have extensive experience reading canine body language and behavior. Your pets’ safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’m also happy to provide baths and nail trims upon request. I currently have two dogs named Pork chop (Pomeranian) and Bear a (German shepherd ) they love to play with other dogs so your furry friends would never be bored or lonely. I treat every dog like they’re my own and strive to create a safe, structured, and loving environment. Hi! I currently do Rover full time, so your fur babies will have my full attention and won’t be left home alone while they’re in my care! 🐾❤️ I take my own dogs on two walks a day, and they’re very friendly and would love some extra company on walks. However, if your pup prefers one on one walks, I’m more than happy to accommodate that! We spend most of our days playing outside in the fenced in yard, getting plenty of fresh air and exercise, or relaxing and cuddling up inside when it’s not as nice out. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! 🐶💕 I will treat your pets like family and I will provide lots of love, attention, cuddles and lots of play time inside and outside of course! I can send pictures and videos of your pets at anytime because I know how hard it is to spend time away from them. I can meal prep any of the meals you have for your pets and give them medicine if needed.

“Kelsey was absolutely incredible. She took on my three dogs like it was nothing. Having three dogs sometimes intimidates people, but those fur babies are part of the family. She kept in communication up until I dropped the dogs off in her care. She was compassionate, and welcomed them into her house with open arms. She was updating me, and sending pictures of there fun adventures! We can’t wait to bring them back again!”

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.

“Here’s the updated review: I was so nervous leaving Riggs with someone outside of family for the first time, but Rachel made the entire experience wonderful! She was incredibly responsive and clear about what to expect, which made me feel so much more at ease. Throughout the week, she was communicative, sent me pictures of Riggs, and listened carefully to all of my instructions. Rachel went above and beyond to make sure Riggs was comfortable—she took him on walks, gave him plenty of attention, and truly cared for his needs, including helping ease his anxiety. It was obvious that he absolutely loved being with her! This was my first time using Rover, and Rachel made it such a positive experience. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Autumn went above and beyond as a sitter for our pup! We met Autumn first and instantly knew she would take amazing care of our baby while we were away getting married. It was such a relief knowing Millie was well taken care of going on long walks and in the comfort of our home. Coming home to a clean home and tired pup was such a blessing! Thank you Autumn!!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - French Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 299 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across French Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

96% of sitters in French 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 French 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 French 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in French Lake. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your French 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
