“Jana provided a loving and caring home for my dog while I was away. I appreciated her updates and photos. It was great for my dog to have so much affection and attention, not to mention a large fenced in yard to run around in. I highly recommend Jana!”
“Abi was fantastic! Not only was she so sweet with my dog, Hudson, but she was just so helpful in the process. I felt like I didn’t need to worry about anything while I was traveling and she sent me regular updates and pictures and videos. Hudson has a great time and if definitely have Abi sit for him again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! William took such amazing care of our pup—he slept soundly, got plenty of walks, and was treated like family. William was incredibly thoughtful, even sending him home with a sweet gift bag, a magnet with his picture, and a heartfelt card. We felt so at ease knowing our dog was in such loving and attentive hands. Highly recommend William to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like their own. Thank you so much!”
“Frank and Clarissa were amazing. They sent us pictures, let us know how our dog was doing and kept us at ease. Our dog can be a little shy when he first meets people and they made him feel like part of their family. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“Our 5-year old Golden had the best time with Kimberly, John, their kids, and their Golden - the entire family gave Sunny so much love. We received daily updates/pictures to show the fun she was having - walks, fetch, tug, cuddles, outside time, etc. This was the first time that Sunny stayed with them, but won’t be the last. Having a family who treats your dog like their own is priceless. She can’t wait to go back!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing with our dog, Roxie! She was very upfront in warning us that her dog, Elliot, can come on a little strong at first (which he definitely did lol) but he and Roxie became best friends almost immediately after. Emily sent tons of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which made us feel so comfortable knowing Roxie was happy and having fun. It was obvious from every update how much Roxie loved her. We would absolutely trust Emily with Roxie again and highly recommend her!”
“I can’t say enough about how great of a dog sitter Susan was. She took absolutely amazing care of our two pups and treated them like queens. She gave us daily text updates of their adventures which were reassuring (and entertaining) to read along with daily photos. It is evident she genuinely loves and cares about dogs and we couldn't have left our digs in better hands. Would book again without hesitation. Thank you, Susan!”
“can't say enough about the care that my dog Moose got from KiirstenC while I traveled over the holiday. ! It was our first experience with Rover. Moose was well fed, played with, snuggled, and truly loved by Kiirstenn and her family. She sent me texts and pictures while I was gone updating me on his activities. Moose is a Shih Tzu, Kiirsten's dog is also a Shih Tzu. She gets us! I can honestly say that I did not worry about Moose all the while I was gone. I would call upon Kiirsten to leave Moose with whenever I need to travel again, knowing he is loved and well taken care of when I cant be with him.”
“Wesley was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Frankie. From the moment I dropped him off, it was evident that Frankie was treated like family and genuinely well cared for. Wesley and his parents have a beautiful home with a secure, fenced-in yard, which made us feel incredibly comfortable. We were able to travel out of the country with complete peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and truly prioritized. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Wesley to anyone looking for exceptional care. I received photos and updates. We look forward to planning our next adventure and rebooking with Wesley!”
“Crossley had a blast when he stayed with Taylor and nova! He got lots of attention and playtime inside and outside and is still tired a day and a half after I picked him up! Taylor is a great communicator and incredibly flexible for pick up and drop off coordination. We will definitely be back!”
“Archie had a great stay with Valerie. The experience from start to finish was exceptional. It was very easy to communicate with Valerie via Rover, messages were answered promptly. Archie loved the large back yard with lots of room to run and roam. He came home tired and happy! We received regular updates from Valerie with pictures that showed Archie looking right at home. Excellent stay and we will definitely re-book! Thank you, Valerie!”
“Such a delight to have Cassandra and her family watch our Louie. Excellent communication before and during his stay with them. Loved the photos and updates! Would have Louie stay with them again.”
“Angela was amazing! I have had lots of sitters with rover and with family and Angela is by far my favorite. I didn’t worry about my dog once durning a week long vacation. She kept me updated, sent me pictures and my dog loved her (maybe too much haha not sure if my dog wanted to go back to me 😊) I really appreciate Angela and all she did for Rosie. Definitely a great sitter, I wasn’t sure I wanted to write my review like this because of wanting to keep Angela as my little secret but my dog is old and not sure if I’ll need to use Rover anytime soon so I thought I’d share her 😉”
“Kelly and Zac were great! We received daily pupdates with pictures and a blurb about his adventures. They worked with us on a last minute booking and were quick to respond. As a small dog mom, we are always cautious of where our little guy goes for boarding, and this was the perfect set up for him. He had fun playing with their dogs, chasing chipmunks, and helping in the kitchen. Thank you both, from us and Dr. Ducky!”
“I really can't say enough positive things about Howie. Right before a weekend trip, I was lamenting to a coworker about leaving my dog Norman at doggy boarding for the weekend. At 10 years old, the loud and busy boarding environment has outpaced Norman. Picking Norman up from doggy boarding- you'd think he was escaping from prison--and the net effects of his stay would last way longer. Well, I contacted Howie in the 11th hour, assumed some risk by bypassing a meet and greet, and Norman spent the weekend with Howie and his wife. Howie sent pictures of a very content and happy looking Norman throughout the weekend, and when we picked Norman up, he was as happy and carefree as ever. It's been two days, and I can tell how much Norman was cared for, played with, and attended to. The only downside is Norman's probably wondering where his new friend Howie is. Highly recommend.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Hopkins is $45

Fantastic experience!!!! My pups stayed 5 days with Kath when we had a last minute out of town trip. Kath was very responsive and accommodating. She has a great fenced-in backyard, living room set up for pups, and a walking trail they took the pups on for long, nature walks. My pups will definitely be back at Kath’s ! I feel very fortunate ( both for me as pup-mom and for my pups:) ) to have found her!
Thank you so much for watching our babies while we were in Vegas! We got updates and had a great time knowing our goblins were being very well taken care of! One of our dogs (boo) sometimes has issues with new people and she fell completely in love! The dogs slept all the way home! Will hopefully be our sitter when we need her! Our dogs felt at home and very loved! Thanks again!
Thank you so much for taking such good care of Lexi while we were traveling. You gave her a home away from home! Thank you for the daily pictures and excellent communication. Your Milo was a wonderful dog host and Lexi would love to come again. Thank you for everything!
Cristina and her family were wonderful. Confident from the moment we communicated that my doggie would be well taken care for. He stayed at their place for five days and we received constant communication and pictures/ videos. Classic wondering if our dog loves it more at Cristina’s house than ours! Will be asking her again to watch our dood.
Alex is so sweet and wonderful! She took care of our beloved Ollie for two weeks while we were away on vacation, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Alex treated Ollie like he was her own and kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and adorable photos. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter. Your pets will be loved and cared for just like family!
Abigail was so wonderful and took amazing care of my (high maintenance) little terrier while I was out of town for a week. He got lots of attention and walks, and the clearly bonded. They clearly bonded and he had a great time. She even made a sweet care package for him! I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Katherine was such a saint with our mini Goldendoodle, Kobe, during his stay with her for a week. She took such good care of him and provided frequent communication and pictures. Katherine helped problem solve a few potty issues Kobe had, too. He had a great time with her pup, as well. I would highly recommend Katherine.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hopkins on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,607 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 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.
94% of Hopkins 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 Hopkins 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 Hopkins 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 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 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.
