“Mochi has the best time at Alicia and Simon's! They send us daily pictures/videos/ and updates. When Mochi comes home he is always exhausted and sleeps for 2 days!!!”
“Lori watched our fur baby, Nala, for a week while we were out of state. Lori is so kind and kept us informed on a daily basis with photos and messages. Nala was smiling in all of the photos as she was happy and fit right into Lori's family loving on her. We definitely recommend Lori to others and will use her again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mayumi! She took such great care of our dog while we were on vacation and gave us so much peace of mind. She regularly sent pictures and updates so we could see how he was doing, which we really appreciated. It was clear he was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend!!”
“Our Wheaton, Jacky, spent a weekend with Nickolai. The home was amazing with a huge fenced yard which gave our dog freedom he never gets, to run without a leash, and the company of another dog, Ryder. Nickolai had a calm presence with him and Jacky was comfortable with even though he usually is shy at first. He sent us messages and pictures to reassure us that Jacky was doing fine. Jacky came home totally normal, not overly tired, needy, or stimulated. Although we don't board him often, we will definitely use Nickolai in the future for those times when we do need this service.”
“Twice now Dee Dee has watched my 2 dogs and she is absolutely wonderful! The dogs are well cared for and watched, definitely given the attention we all want our pups to have, and Dee Dee does a great job on sending updated photos, which I find great! I definitely recommend her services!”
“Logan is knowledgeable and caring about all things animals. She initiated a Meet & Greet before the first time caring for our pups and it was important to her to get familiar with our family. During their first stay, she provided updates, sent pics and followed all of our care instructions. When my flight was delayed, she kindly agreed to a later pick-up.”
“Leza was absolutely incredible caring for my dog. We were given frequent pictures and updates throughout the day and our dog always looked relaxed and happy. I would whole heartedly recommend Leza as a great pet sitter.”
“Susan and Craig are fantastic! They are so thorough and great communicators. They watched our mini-goldendoodle, Cooper, while we had our son's wedding. We already have them scheduled for future dog sitting. We were able to relax and enjoy the wedding knowing Cooper was in good hands.”
“Daniela watched my 4 month old puppy and I couldn’t be happier! She was extremely responsive when we reached out to her and continued communication with us the whole time! I got updates throughout everyday with pictures and messages on how my pup was doing! Even sent us home with some more treats and a bone! Will definitely be coming back to her!”
“Madigan had another great long weekend stay with Kelly and Zac! The updates are always fun and I know she is taken well care of, Madigan just zooms right in during drop off!”
“Maddie was not just cared for, she was loved and cherished by Eric and Martha! They provided us many photos and videos and you could tell just how happy our dog was in their care. It won’t be Maddie’s last visit with them!”
“Beth and Evan were absolutely amazing. I simply cannot recommend them enough! We have a high energy (and sometimes very difficult to deal with) dog and they did a phenomenal job! They gave updates and were very transparent and open about everything which I greatly appreciated! Would definitely rebook with them in the future!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we contacted Britni, we felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care. Britni and her whole family were incredibly kind, reliable, attentive, and kept us updated throughout our time away, which gave us such peace of mind. Our dog was so happy and well cared for, and it was obvious that they genuinely love animals. Everything was handled perfectly, and we came home to a very happy, relaxed doggie. We would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with them again! Thanks again Britni ❤️🐾”
“Our dog, Gunner, had a great time staying with April! She took such good care of him. April is very kind and is wonderful with the dogs, you can tell she truly loves them. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Gunner can’t wait for his next visit!”
“Derek took a great care of my dog and followed all of the instructions, including medications. My dog was in a good mood when I returned to pick him up. Photo updates were super helpful too. Thank you, Derek!”
“Megan was awesome with our pup and sent pics and updates. Our puppy, was super sad to actually come back home because he loved it there so much! I definitely would book her again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Oh my gosh, Leah and her sweet fam were the best! Bru was fast friends with their dog and they made it so comfortable for him. We received lots of pics and will definitely be using them again!”
“I don’t think Birdie wanted to come home! It seems like she had a great time at Lan’s house and Lan followed all care instructions to the letter. It was my first time using Rover and Lan made me feel like my gal was in great hands. Thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hamel
What a wonderful, caring family! Our pup was well cared for and treated like royalty for her two week stay. They were communicative and provided us with pictures and updates daily. Our pup did not lack for love and attention. She was very happy to be with her Rover family.
Alicia and Simon were excellent!! We had multiple instances come up and had to change times, and they were flexible every time. Our dog Phoenix had an awesome time playing with their dog Daisy and the kids. They also provided consistent updates! Would definitely book again and recommend.
Logan was amazing - so wonderful to coordinate and work with, super attentive to our dogs' personalities and needs, and so great at sending pictures and updates so we didn't have to worry while away. Our dogs were well loved and cared for and came home happy, and we would gladly hire Logan to watch them again! Thank you!
Darcie was wonderful! She and her family treated our pups like their own. Our older dog has health issues and Darcie was so accommodating with her special needs and medications. We had an amazing vacation knowing Maci and Coco were in best of hands, and being given lots of love!
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.
Auggie loooved his stay with Stacy. She sent plenty of updates the whole time, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. Auggie absolutely loved playing with her dog, Bailey. It was basically a long weekend play date for both pups. She was also super flexible with my timing, which made things so much easier while traveling. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs, and she clearly loved having Auggie there. I'd 100% book her again.
This pet sitter is great! Her house is lovely with a nice fenced yard and dog friendly stuff everywhere!. I’m pretty sure my dogs had more fun than me on this vacation. She was flexible with the times of drop off and pick up and we will definitely be booking with her again.
Yira and Sebastian are the best dog sitters ever! They spoiled my dogs for 5 days. Sent me great photos and updates everyday! My dogs had walks and they played def h with my ball obsessed dog. They made my dogs feel like part of their family which helped me relax more on my trip! Thank you Yira, Sebastian, Emma and Seba. You are all amazing

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hamel is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $58 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
94% of sitters in Hamel 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 Hamel 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 Hamel.
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 Hamel. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Hamel 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.
