“This was the first time Dipper has stayed with William. She did very well. William is very kind and this was reflected in Dippers behavior when I picked her up-relaxed, tail wagging, as if she'd come from a mini-vacation. Great communication and plenty of pictures too!”
“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.”
“Marina took good care of our pets and we could tell that she is definitely a dog person. We saw that both dogs were enjoying their cuddles in the picture we received. We are rarely separated from them, so it was nice to have no worries. Marina’s home is lovely and well equipped with pet toys and a feeding station. We noticed the surrounding grounds were nice for walking the dogs. We will rebook should the need arise.”
“Nickolai was extremely responsive, professional, and considerate. My dog loved the large backyard and resident dog, and was well-cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Nickolai again”
“Emily is one of a kind. As it was our first time using Rover and having a puppy, we were a little shy about it at first, but Emily made us feel comfortable about everything! We did a meet-up a few days before scheduling to confirm it was a good match. It definitely was! She asked us many questions and also let us ask questions about everything, which made us feel more at ease. Throughout the stay, Emily kept us updated on how our puppy was eating and how he was getting along with her own dogs. She also asked us during the stay if it was okay to bring him to certain places, and that was great! Let’s just say our little pup is going to miss the new best friends he made until next time. Emily is so sweet, kind, and caring! We will definitely be having Emily babysit our baby boy again! We recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter, and if you are worried about a puppy needing to be babysat, I can assure you that Emily is amazing.”
“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”
“Bella had a great stay with Manami! Manami kept us up to date with photos and notes each day. This was our first time leaving our 9 year old lab with anyone but family. We were appreciative that she was so well taken care of. We would recommend Manami and Bella would love to stay with her again!”
“Angela went above and beyond to make sure our pup, Luna, was well taken care of and was concerned about her experience from start to finish!!! She was incredibly understanding when our flight was delayed due to weather and willingly with little notice kept her an extra day making her transition home so much better for her. Angela is a great communicator and sent regular updates with pictures. She kept Luna on her routine and Luna came home happy and healthy! Best pet sitter ever!”
“Tim was a great host for Sasha! He sent pictures through her stay and updates, and she was extremely happy when picked up. We will definitely reach out again if he is available!”
“Wes was wonderful with our dog Zoey! Zoey is a senior dog and needs a bit of extra attention, and Wes and his family gave her just that! Received photos throughout her stay, would definitely recommend & use again in the future.”
“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.”
“Patrick was amazing! He helped me out on short notice, took great care of my dogs, and made the whole process completely stress free. I could tell my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Super reliable, responsive, and genuinely kind. I would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable to watch their pets.”
“Jessica and family took great care of our fur babies. She sent pictures so I could have a peak in what they were doing. When dogs come home tired I know they had a good time and were taken care of. Such a wonderful setting with a family to be with.”
“Patricia was amazing with our dog Rafa! She went above and beyond for him, even getting him a special treat on his birthday :) Would highly recommend! Thanks again for everything!”
“Barbara went above and beyond to care for our puppy. She got diarrhea the 2 days and took her out throughout the night and tried to adjust her food to help.”
“They sent updates everyday and really care about the dogs they board!! My senior golden was well taken care of and we will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
“Stacey was absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time leaving Rocky and he did really well. Stacey kept me informed daily and sent pictures. She did such a great job with my furbaby. There is absolutely no doubt that I would use her services again. Stacey will take care of your pet as if it were her own. I would give her 10 stars if I could.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Hopkins is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hopkins
Cherie was wonderful with our dog, Leo! He can be very shy and Cherie did an amazing job working with him and accommodating his needs. Cherie's communication is great and we truly appreciated the regular photos and updates. Leo was so well cared for and we are grateful to Cherie and her family for the peace of mind while we were away. Cherie was also very flexible and understanding with timing and last minute changes which was greatly appreciated. Thank you! 🐶❤️
Kyle was great with Buddy! Right away Sota and Buddy were fast friends. He has a great fenced in backyard and got lots of exercise while he stayed over. He was super excited to meet other pups and we didn’t worry about him one bit. We came back to get him and he slept for 2 days from all the fun he had! We definitely will work with Kyle and Sota again.
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.
Mandi was amazing! This was our dog's first boarding experience and it was definitely a great one. He's still a puppy and learning to stay away from us is something he's still getting used to from time to time. Mandi was very accommodating and super helpful before we dropped our pup off. The drop-off and pick-up process was easy and stress-free. There was another review that said the property was hard to find, but Mandi provided me the address and google maps had no issues finding it! Our pup definitely seemed to be having a good time. It was also a great experience for him to hang around dogs and kids in a more casual and calm setting. I would definitely recommend Mandi for your boarding needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hopkins is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $72 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 2,620 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.
94% 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
