“Anne and her family were so kind to watch my pup Dune last minute after our original dog sitting plans for vacation fell through. We did an initial met/greet to ensure our dogs got along and Dune loved playing with the other pups. Communication with daily updates and photos was awesome! Kenneling overnight. We were so grateful for your flexiblity and help! Thank you all for taking such great care of my boy :)”
“Christine was a great sitter for Alfie. He had such a fun time running the yard and having a buddy to hang out with. Christine gave good updates and pictures. Would definitely recommend!”
“Kailee took excellent care of Milo. He was loved and well cared for. She sent frequent photo updates during his stay and was fast to respond to any questions before and during his stay and was helpful and accommodating.”
“We used Rover and Frances for the first time. We scheduled a week long, twice day stop ovwr to fred our cat. A few days later, we scheduled a sleepover for our puppy as sort of a trial run.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Katherine was amazingly patient when answering all my questions about what we should expect. Unfortunately during the stay, one of our dogs had a difficult time adjusting, but Katherine did everything she could to ease her anxiety and make her comfortable. By the end of the weekend, there was quite a bit of improvement for Jessie. They sent pics of them and the dogs having fun which I thoroughly enjoyed.”
“We had to find a sitter on fairly short notice for a 2 week vacation. I was really nervous about using this app and leaving my puppy with someone i didnt know. Katlynn was so easy to work with and accomodating. She sent me photos every day and and he came home happy and healthy. I will definately book with Katlynn again, if she'll have him :)”
“My pups loved their weeklong stay with Janelle (and Kevin!)! Janelle went above and beyond with my somewhat “special needs” and raw fed dogs (a puppy and a CHF dog with a strict medication administration routine). Despite a week of nasty humid and stormy weather, Janelle managed to get them outside to play when it cleared up, but they were also content snuggling or napping. I was sent daily reports and pictures. My dogs usually take a bit to warm up to strangers, but this was not the case with Janelle- they were immediately comfortable and returned home happy and well fed. This is the second time with her and I won’t trust anyone else to care for them moving forward!”
“Amy is an excellent "dog sitter" & is always very attentive to our Filson, who is a Wire Fox Terrier & expects a lot of "attention" :) He loves going to their home! We highly recommend Amy & her environment....which is peaceful & calming.”
“Katie was great! She and her husband took amazing care of Titan for 5 nights and treated him like he was their own. Great communication and regular updates, lots of walks, plenty of love, and they were very flexible with my drop-off and pickup schedule. I felt completely comfortable knowing Titan was in great hands. Would absolutely recommend Katie and use her again!”
“Felix is great! He was fantastic with our dog. He is caring, kind, and loves dogs. We are happy to find another great dog sitter! Riley has been super happy when returning from her time with Felix.”
“Sylvia was fantastic. It was great peace of mind to leave him with her for a few days knowing he was going to be well taken care of. Our kids loved getting regular photos!”
“Pam did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! She was understanding of Aubrey’s needs and kept me updated with lots of wonderful pictures and videos so I could rest assured my puppy was having a great time while I was away. Aubrey came home very tired out from so much fun time playing with the other dogs!”
“Jenna is amazing! She was ultra responsive when it came to booking and she made it super easy. The boys absolutely loved her and had a great time. They came home all tuckered out. We can’t wait to see her again!”
“Nicole did such an amazing job with our girls. Communication was great. She send tons of pictures to help ease my mind. Her whole family was so good with the girls. I will def use her gain when needed. My girls have a new retreat to go too. They loved it and her family.”
“Ruth was fabulous. My little 7lb Maggie was a new rescue that I only had for 2 months. She was so scared of EVERYTHING. Ruth has a nice small and quiet home. She was able to give my little doggie the individual and personal attention she really needed. I felt completely confident that Maggie would be cared for very well. We even received pictures and updates regularly while we were away. I'll definitely be calling Ruth, if we go out of town again.”
“Thank you Megan for being a wonderful dog sitter for Coco! I was worried about leaving her for the first time and you eased my concerns very quickly on the phone. Appreciate all the pictures and text while we were away. That helped us know she was happy & being well taken care of with walks and snuggle time. I will highly recommend you to my friends & anyone looking for a sweet dog sitter (without pets of her own). Again a huge thank you! We will be in touch in a few weeks to schedule another over night stay for Coco. Karen”
“Becky is great! My dog comes home happy, healthy and tired out from playing. We love getting all the pics and updates from our pups vacation ☺️ I would not hesitate to book with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hopkins
My dog was so happy with Rachael. It was clear that she loves animals and understands them as soon as we met. She treated Nova like her own pet. Nova got to play with Rachael's dogs, and run around in a fenced in yard. She slept like a rock when we got home! We hope to use Rachael's services again when we travel!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hopkins is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $46 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 of October 2026, there are 546 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hopkins. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Hopkins 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 Hopkins home-away-from-home, 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 Hopkins.
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 Hopkins 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 , 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 .
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 MI 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.
