“Jessica is such a fun and thoughtful sitter! She’s a great fit for our small breed pup, and we can’t wait to use her on an extended stay! Chauncey had a great time and was so exhausted that he slept the whole day. Thank you!”
“We had such a great experience! She was kind, attentive, and took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand so she could get to know Mochi, his routine, and everything he needed to feel comfortable and at home. He adjusted so quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated on how he was doing and anything that came up, and I felt completely comfortable and confident that he was in the best hands. We would absolutely trust her with Mochi again!”
“Terry and Samantha provided excellent care for our Cavapoo in their home for 4 nights. They welcomed her in as part of the family. We received updates with pictures and short notes at least twice each day. It is obvious that they love caring for dogs and treat them as their own. We will definitely use their service again!”
“Amanda's family is always so caring with our pup. We know that he gets lots of walks, playtime, and snuggles when he is with them. He is sufficiently tuckered out when he gets home. So glad he got the chance to stay with Amanda again.”
About: I've been an animal person for as long as I can remember! I've had animals in my life for all 40 years and have spent over 20 years working full-time in veterinary medicine as a licensed veterinary technician. I currently work in zoo medicine, which is truly a dream come true for me! My professional experience includes caring for animals of all species, from routine wellness and preventative care to complex medical cases requiring intensive, ICU-level care. I'm comfortable administering medications, monitoring medical conditions, and recognizing when something isn't right. While my professional background is in veterinary medicine, caring for animals has always been much more than a job to me. I genuinely love getting to know their individual personalities, making them feel comfortable, and giving them the same attention and affection I give my own pets. I have a soft spot for cats, but truly enjoy working with animals of all kinds, regardless of age, special needs, and species. :) I work Monday–Friday at the zoo from 8:00–4:30, so my availability is primarily outside of those hours and on weekends. I also have a 50/50 parenting schedule, with my kids on some weekday evenings after 6:00 and every other weekend. I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that meets your pet's needs. My children will not be present during pet-sitting visits unless you are comfortable with and specifically request that arrangement. I'm very mindful of my commitments and will only accept a booking if I know I can give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Reliability is really important to me, and I want you to feel confident that your pets are in good hands! I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and stick to their normal routines while their owners are away. I'm also happy to discuss special arrangements depending on your pet's needs. I love getting outside with dogs and am always up for a fun field trip to explore a new park or go for a special walk! As a certified veterinary technician with extensive animal care experience, safety and well-being are always priorities for me. I'm comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions, and keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. I treat every home with respect, keep pets' environments safe and clean, and believe communication is important. I'll happily send updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands!
“Danielle goes over and above in caring for Frasier and Ellie. She communicates and seeks to do for the dogs what you as the owner would. She gave our dogs a needed bath and always provides pictures and videos. All the way to washing their blankets and folding them neatly in their kennel.”

“We highly recommend Chee and Ju for all your pet sitting needs! From the start, they were very accommodating and kept us updated with photos throughout the four nights Bentley was with them. We appreciate everything they did for us and will definitely use them again. Bentley was well loved and got plenty of attention and exercise!”
“Tanya is the best ! Our golden doodle ,Boomer was with Tanya for a month when we went out of country . Boomer gets anxious when we are not around . She took good care of him and he was very happy with Tanya . Pictures were shared everyday and Boomer was super clean when we picked him up . Very happy and will use her service again”
“We had a great experience with Jailene! Our dog was very comfortable and clearly well cared for during his stay. She sent us regular photo and text updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away, and was always available if we wanted to check in. She was also very accommodating when our flight was unexpectedly delayed and we needed to extend his stay. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was, and would definitely book with her again!”
“Mocha had lots of fun with Loretta! Mocha got to go on many walks, and was provided with more than enough time to get all the exercise she needed. Loretta was very attentive to Mocha, and ensured all her needs were always met!”
“This was the 2nd time that Sexton my puggle has been with Dave. He greeted Sexton upon arrival and confirmed all items - including food details, walk details, etc. I believe my dog was happy and well taken care of in Dave's care.”
“Leza was amazing! This was Murphy’s first time with Leza and she looked so happy and relaxed in the pictures she sent. Murphy got lots of walks, attention, care, cuddles and love! We appreciated the daily updates and would not hesitate to book Leza again. She is professional, courteous, caring, and genuinely loves dogs.”
“Brenda & family were amazing with Aspen. Aspen felt right at home and happy. I received regular updates and knew she was well taken care of. Highly recommended.”
“Fantastic experience with, Sarah, from the initial meet-and-greet, through final pick-up! Great communication, helpful/consistent updates for Bando's extended stay, and never had any concerns that he wasn't getting what he needed. Thank you!”
About: With over 25 years of dedicated pet care experience, combining a deep passion for animals with unparalleled expertise. Specializing in dogs of all breeds and sizes, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. From daily walks to overnight stays, your furry family members receive the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. Reliable, professional pet sitting and walking services that keep tails wagging and owners at ease. Our Home & Yard: Pups who stay with us get to enjoy a spacious lakeside backyard with plenty of room to run, sniff, explore, and relax. 🌿🐾 The yard is partially fenced, with an opening for lake access, so all outdoor time is fully supervised. There are shady spots for downtime between play sessions. In the summer months, dogs can swim in the lake (with owner permission only). Just let us know if your pup is a swimmer and has your OK to go in. Although I will be the primary care taker, my wife and I work from home full time Monday through Friday. We love to spend our free time taking care of our sweet boy Koda who is a 5 year old labradoodle. He gets along great with other dogs and loves friends. I have a home in a quiet community which is fenced. This allows the dogs to run freely outside for potty breaks and exercise for the pups.
“Katie was helpful and communicative from the start. When our plans changed she was able to accommodate those changes and work with us. The flexibility was appreciated. Would be happy to work with her 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!

There are 2,502 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Ham Lake. About 92% of Ham Lake sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
