“Anna was GREAT with our pups. She was so communicative while we were away, and our dogs came home happy and tired. That’s the sign of a great time! We would trust our dogs with Anna again anytime!”
“Kayti went above and beyond for us. She was very accommodating and great with my dog. My dog had a blast with Kayti and her family. Definitely will be booking with Kayti again!”
“Wonderful! Easy drop off and pickup! Remy was super happy (and tired) when I picked him up. We would definitely use Sophia & Travis again! Their pups (Reginald & Ragnarock) were so sweet too! Thanks for making a nervous puppy Mom at ease :)”
“Wesley was fantastic with our dog while for four nights of boarding. He was exceptionally good at communicating, sending updaters with photos, and making us feel at ease even though we hadn’t worked with Wesley before. It was so lovely to pick our pup up from Wesley where he was smiling and clearly well cared for! We will definitely ask Wesley to help again in the future.”
“LAN was great with my young Labradoodle. He stayed with her for two weeks while I was out of the country. She put my mind at ease by sharing pictures and videos of him playing with her dog Lucy. He seemed very comfortable and well cared for with her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Thanks for taking such good care of our mini-schnauzer when we were out of town. He clearly had a good time. We appreciate the communications and updated when he was at your home.”
“We left our elderly dog with Derek for a long weekend. Derek did an excellent job of sending pictures and keeping us updated as to how Scooter was doing. We were impressed and will use Derek again in the future!”
“Michelle was amazing! We were apprehensive about leaving our puppy for the first time, but Michelle reassured us that he would do great! She kept us updated with pictures and videos everyday. Our puppy especially enjoyed romping around on her land. Now we don’t have to worry about leaving our puppy; we know he will be well taken care of. I would highly recommend Michelle!”
“Dogs really enjoy themselves here! It’s an open, welcoming atmosphere where dogs can play and socialize with the other pups. I love a good environment that’s comfortable for both dogs and children, and this place fits right in. They have a big backyard for the dogs to run and burn off energy, and overall it seemed like a perfect fit for ours. They’re also very communicative and send pictures, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“Maria was so kind when we met her and then followed up with outstanding care the 5 days we were gone. We received photos and videos and text messages daily. She responded to us promptly if we texted with any questions. Highly recommend Maria for your pet needs.”
“So thankful for Gloriahna! She did an amazing job taking care of our 6 year old American Bully. Rocky looked so comfortable in every update she gave. We were so happy he was well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely keep using her for our future travels and highly recommend her to all!”
“Another amazing weekend of having our baby watched by Jess!! Millie loves her weekends at their house and has come home so much calmer than other sitters she has stayed with before! Feels so good knowing our gal is in good care. Thanks Jessica and family!”
“Andrew is wonderful with my dogs. We did a meet and greet and the dogs were very comfortable and happy to have a sleep over. I received reports and video and photos showing they were having fun.”
“Dave is such a wonderful person and caretaker. He checks in often, sending pictures and updates, and additionally isn’t afraid to ask questions (which is great, all dogs are different!). My girl, Lenny, clearly loves him and enjoys all the time she spends with Dave and his family. 10/10 recommend highly.”
“Amazing, Professional, Efficient, Loving, Caring, I can go on and on. Texted, & sent photo's. Ian left no room for worry. I will definitely recommend Ian. Bekkah Juliette and I are Team Ian...”
“Lauren and James did such an amazing job with our dog while we were out of town for a week. They sent awesome updates every day and such cute pictures. Winston felt right at home with them and they loved him like their own. He probably had more fun with them than he does at home! He came back fulfilled and happy. We will absolutely work with Lauren and James again when we have a trip come up.”
“Yuliya took such fantastic care of Reese! She regularly sent pictures and updates, which made it so easy for us to relax while we were away. It was clear Reese was happy, comfortable, and having a great time the entire stay. From the photos and updates, we could tell Reese truly had a blast there. Knowing she was being cared for so thoughtfully gave us so much peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful for Yuliya and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

Mackenzie did a fantastic job hosting Apollo while we were on vacation! I received several updates and photos and always received quick replies when asking any questions. Apollo enjoys the human and dog interaction he gets when he visits her house. 😊 We will definitely book with her again!
We chose to leave our dog with Andrew because he specializes in Golden Retreivers. Our dog not only had a great time with the other dogs, he was was in perfect shape when we picked him up and returned home. Andrew was even accommodating with us when our trip was stretched out by a day. I highly recommend his services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ham Lake on Rover is $38.52 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,457 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ham 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.
95% of Ham 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 Ham 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 Ham 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 Ham 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 Ham 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.
