“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! 🐾💛”
“Patricia and Patrick were absolutely wonderful. They took great care of Juno and I really enjoyed getting all of the updates and photos. Juno also seemed really relaxed and playful when we went to pick her up. We will be rebooking with them in the future for sure!”
“Brenda and Alvin were great. They have a large fenced yard for my puppy to play in. I really appreciated the daily updates with pictures. Bailey was well taken care of.”
“My dog had the best time staying with Amy when I went on vacation for a week. She took such good care of her and sent so many pics throughout the stay. It was my first time using Rover and I am glad I found Amy because I was assured from day 1 that my dog was in a safe and loving environment. Thank you so much Amy! I hope my upcoming vacation aligns with your available dates so I can bring Maala back again. :)”

“Anna was wonderful ...Maile looked better than when we left him. He was a bit tired probably from having dog friends to play with and a yard. All positive....we will be boarding with Anna again when she is available.”

“Apollo seemed to have a great time. He got walks and seem to integrate well with their family. He was exhausted when he got home which is the sign of a great time! Pictures were sent when I requested them as I was nervous as it was his first time away. I will definitely bring him back. Thank you for taking great care of him.”
“Dave was wonderful! Kind, attentive, convenient and very warm and welcoming. He sent pictures to us, and our dog was very happy when we came home. Would definitely use him again and have recommended to family!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ham Lake
We had a fantastic experience with Gloriahna boarding our two dogs while we were on a week long family vacation. We did a meet and greet prior to booking which was so helpful since it was our first time using Rover. I walked away feeling very comfortable with trusting her with our babies. We loved that she sent daily check-ins with photos. Our boys came home happy and tired. We will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her.
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 2,494 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.
