“We have left our dog with Alisha & Cameron on several occasions now. Rue absolutely adores going to their house and always comes home tuckered out, happy, and healthy! They are very attentive, experienced, and regularly send us pup updates during our trips. We cannot recommend them enough and will continue using their services for future travels!”
“Brenda and Alvin took such great care of our Biscuit! So good, in fact, that I hesitated to leave a review because I didn't want them to become all booked up! Great communication, timely updates, and Biscuit looked genuinely happy. 5/5 stars all around.”
“Anna's place is quickly becoming a home away from home for our pup. She took wonderful care of him and was incredibly accommodating and understanding when our travel plans were delayed due to the weather. We highly recommend Anna!”
“Patty & Patrick are wonderful! We can't say enough good things about them!! This was the first time in 7 years we ever left our St. Bernard overnight (he had to stay 3 nights) We were apprehensive because he gets anxious when we leave him just for a few hours. We received photos and updates daily to reassure us he was doing well. They spoiled him! We would not hesitate to use them again!!!”
“Our dog fisher always seems so happy to be pulling up to Sophia and Travis’s home. We feel confident that he is well loved and taken care of from pictures and how happy he is when we see him next.”
“Jamie & Jaci watched our 1.5 year old 50lb weim overnight. Our dog got along well with their two dogs. They have space and a yard for the dogs to play together & sent us multiple photo updates of playtime & naptime❣️ Our dog had a great time & came home tired. Would book again!”
“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.”
“David did a great job caring for Rosie. He communicated well, left great feedback, and I was confident that he cared for my energetic dog well. I will be booking with him again in the future.”
“We have used Elizabeth and Erik multiple times now! They treat our dog like their own and he always comes home worn out from all the great playing and attention they offer him!”
“Nicole is honestly the best river. Her and her family love my dog when they watch her, and she is treated like a part of the family. I love getting the picture updates from Nicole and I know my dog is in good hands with her.”
“Karissa watched our two dogs (1puppy) and both returned, happy and healthy. They have a fenced in yard for the dogs to be outside and they have two beautiful great Danes themselves. Thank you again for watching my fur babies! 😀”
“Sadie, my sometimes excitable dog, had a great two week vacation with Sophan and her husband. She enjoyed racing around a large yard, snuggling next to them on the couch. Sophan cared for her as if she was her own dog. When I picked her up, she was very clearly happy with them and their grandchildren who were visiting. When I need a sitter again, Sadie will return to Sophan.”
“Dave was great to take care of Zema! He sent regular updates and pictures which is always helpful to know that she is settling in and having a good time. Until next time, Dave!”
“Maria took excellent care of Gertie. Maria also sent pictures of Gertie‘s adventures during her stay. I will definitely let Maria take care of Gertie in the future.”
“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!”
“Thanks so much for taking care of Barkley! It looks like he had a great time! We got daily text updates and pictures. He got walked and had room to run around. We will definitely use again!”

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.
