“Care for Mia was great! I was able to drop off at an early morning hour (which isn’t always ideal) and I was able to pick up earlier than I thought I needed care for. I appreciate the flexibility and knowing Mia was cared for so well!”
“Jill and TJ did an amazing job with our boy! He had never not stayed with us and they took such good care of him and he had a great time with their dogs too. They sent us updates every day with photos. We will definitely rebook!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kimberly & John! Great communication and we loved all the pictures of Oakley having fun while we were gone. He seemed to fit right in and was so well loved. We'll be booking again!”
“Susan did a wonderful job making our older dog feel comfortable and welcome in her home. She is an excellent communicator and sent multiple updates so we knew she was in great hands . I don’t think our dog wanted to come home!”
“Cassandra and Eric were great with our older dog! They sent us pictures every day and told us about how was doing each day! Kona loved their fenced in back yard and being able to soak up the sun on their deck and keep an eye on things. I will definitely try to use them again in the future!”
“Hyeyoon was wonderful! She followed our dog’s daily routine to a tee and asked such thoughtful questions. We received pictures and updates each day. We will definitely use her again!”
“Tim and his furry pack were amazing with Teddy!! Tim always responded quickly and was attentive to details. He was very conscientious of the directions I left and asked when he wasn’t sure. I received daily photos and updates which made me feel so much more comfortable with leaving Teddy with Tim. And Teddy even came home with some sweet surprises like a cute photo from Tim! I highly recommend Tim and would not hesitate to ask him to doggy sit my furbaby in the future 🥰”
“Stacey was such a GREAT FIND. We were extremely happy with the care our Sasha received. We received photos of our little Sasha and updates almost daily. She cared for her as if her own. I will certainly reach out again for future trips.”

We appreciated the updates and photos and especially the accommodation of adding another night to Archie’s stay. We will definitely rebook!”
“Angela took wonderful care of our pup so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. She was very pleasant, patient, and attentive. Our pup will miss her! We will most certainly consider booking with her for future needs. Thank you so much, Angela! Hugs & Wags, Brittany & John”
“Lely and Mark are amazing dog sitters! My labradoodle had a blast with them for 5 nights going on walks, playing frisbee, going in their kiddie pool in their yard. I got picture updates every day. You can tell they love dogs and really care about them! I will definitely be using them again in the near future!”
“Janna sent regular sweet updates about how Bella was doing and pictures too. Bella adjusted to her temporary home right away and had a blast with there. I'll choose Janna again in a heartbeat.”

“Tanya is not only a fun spirited person, she is so sweet with dogs. I highly recommend her - she’s extremely flexible and a great communicator. She took care of our Maltese and sent pictures so we could stay connected to our pooch.”
“Yuzuki stayed with Teresa for four weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Unfortunately, Yuzuki hurt her neck just a week before my trip, which made my original daycare and boarding plans unsuitable for her. I reached out to Teresa on short notice, and she was incredibly understanding and accommodating. Teresa took excellent care of Yuzuki, following all the necessary steps for her recovery, including administering medication and ensuring she got enough rest. By the time I returned, Yuzuki had fully recovered and was her happy, healthy self again. Yuzuki absolutely loved staying with Teresa, who treated her like a member of her own family. I also really appreciated the timely updates with photos, even with the significant time difference. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely trust Teresa with Yuzuki again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly cares for their pets!”
“Linda was wonderful with Cooper! She was caring, reliable, and very flexible with timing, which I really appreciated. The daily updates were also really nice and gave me peace of mind. I felt at ease knowing Cooper was in great hands. I’d definitely book with Linda again!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Hopkins is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hopkins
We had such a wonderful experience! Everything went great, and we really appreciated how attentive and caring she was with our girl, making sure all of her needs and little quirks were taken into account. We received daily photos and updates, and it was so heartwarming to see how happy and comfortable our dog was - she looked like she was smiling in every picture! It really gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We’re so grateful for all the love and care our dog received and would absolutely book again! Highly recommend! ❤️
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 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.
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hopkins is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $67 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.

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 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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hopkins. On Rover:
- 90% 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 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.
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.
