“Jana is wonderful with Murphy. Her kids adore him and it seems that he reciprocates. He always comes home happy. 😊 This was the second time Murphy had stayed with Jana and been very well looked after.”
“Abigail was very helpful in planning our pets care. We met ahead of time in her home so our dog could meet her first. Her energy was very calm and I felt confident in her abilities right away. She sent photos every day of our very happy dog. I would highly recommend her to anyone. We would definitely trust her again with our highly sensitive and anxious pitbull.”
“Nickolai was very communicative and responsive. We received pictures of our girl and updates throughout her stay with Nickolai. The home has a very large fenced-in backyard which our dog enjoyed immensely. We mentioned that our dog is accustomed to going on walks and Nickolai was kind enough to take her out for walks around the neighborhood.”
“Allie did a great job taking care of my dogs! They were very happy to play with her dog and run around her back yard. I got updates and knew they were in good hands. She was also very flexible and accommodating!”
“Susan provided us amazing daily recaps of how our dog was spending her day at “camp”, it sounded like she was having so much fun we weren’t sure our dog would want us to come pick her up. But truly, you can tell that Susan really puts her whole heart into caring for dogs and she loves having furry friends in her home. Next time we need a sitter, we’ll definitely check her availability!”
“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!”
“Patrick and his family were wonderful with our pup, Tucker. Patrick sent regular updates and took great care of Tucker. We appreciate you and your family very much!”
“Jeff is great. Very responsive. Always sends pictures and makes sure the dogs get plenty of walks and trips to the dog park. My dog is happy to be dropped off 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!”
“Sandy watched our dog for two weeks and was wonderful. She was easy to communicate with, responsive, and sent lots of photos and videos of our dog while we were away. We could tell our dog was well loved while with Sandy!”
“Kiersa is very easy to work with, responds very quickly to messages and is very pleasant and professional! Benelli seems to really like her, glad the initial visit went so well, will definitely book again!”
“Nicole took care of Lucy for 5 days. Lucy our dog was on 3 meditations had to mix medicine in her food. She did a great job taking care of Lucy with no problem. We’re lucy we found we found her, she’s the best.”
“This was our first time with a dog sitter and we were very nervous. Rosemarie did a really great job taking care of our dog and keeping in contact with us a few times each day. It was wonderful getting pictures and videos throughout the day. It was clear Rosemarie and her family cared for our dog and made sure she got a lot of exercise multiple times each day. She also did little unexpected extras that really made our dog’s stay extra special. We will definitely be seeking her services again in the future! Thank you Rosemarie!”
“Stacey did an amazing job taking care of our beloved dog, Lady. We were initially nervous about leaving Lady with someone new, but Stacey quickly put our minds at ease with her professionalism and genuine love for animals. Throughout our time away, Stacey provided regular updates and even sent us adorable pictures of Lady, which made us feel connected and reassured that she was in good hands. It was evident that Stacey went above and beyond to ensure Lady's comfort and happiness while we were away. Stacey followed our instructions diligently, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and administering any necessary medications. Lady seemed incredibly content and well-cared for when we returned home, and we could tell she had formed a bond with Stacey. Not only did Stacey take care of Lady's basic needs, but she also provided her with extra attention and affection. She took the time to play with Lady and give her the exercise she needed, which was fantastic. We highly recommend Stacey as a pet sitter. Her dedication, reliability, and love for animals truly set her apart. It's such a relief to know we have someone like Stacey to trust with our furry family member when we're away. Thank you, Stacey, for taking such great care of Lady!”
“Dee Dee was absolutely amazing with Mali!! It was the first time in the 6 years I’ve had Mali that we were separated. Mali had some anxiety and developed stress colitis while I was gone. Dee Dee was diligent in watching her and even taking her to the vet due to some symptoms. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better!! Thank you SO much for taking great care of my baby girl while I was away!!”

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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
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.
