“Monika is truly the best at what she does. Our dog Sophie always looks at visits as a vacation when we go on vacation. She just loves the family and the dogs that live there. The backyard that is fenced in is wonderful. This is truly our dog’s home away from home. If I could give higher than 5 stars I would. They are fantastic and I recommend them with the highest possible regard.”
“We had an excellent experience with Cait and Tim! Our pup didn’t have good manners when meeting their family dog but they didn’t seem to be worried. He eventually settled in and he had a great time for his overnight. He was so tired the following day from all the activity at their house. We’d never used a service like this before. We would recommend them 100%!”
“Dynette was amazing watching our fur baby. Sent lots of pictures/updates and gave our girl lots of love. I would highly recommend her as a sitter and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.”
“Jessica was fantastic about taking care of my dog. They gave me daily update and could tell they really wanted to make her comfortable. They were responsive to all of my questions it was such a great experience.”
“We left our dog with Kaitlyn and her husband while away on vacation. We felt very comfortable leaving her with them and appreciated the daily feedback and videos. Our dog definitely took advantage of their large fenced in yard!”
“Katie is great with our two dogs and very accommodating to our schedule when needed. This was our second time with her and we plan to use her again if possible. Thanks from Phoebe and Dexter for a great weekend!”
“Karen and family took amazing care of our giant Newfoundland Nora. Spoiled her during her stay which was great to see. Pictures and updates daily showed how good of a time she had. Thank you for taking care of our baby.”
“Lilo had another fantastic stay with Roxanne! We received twice daily updates with cute stories about Lilo’s stay and so many amazing pictures! Lilo was in such good hands with Roxanne-they truly treated her as if she was part of their family while we were gone. Lilo came home happy as ever and tired out from her fun staycation with Roxanne. Thank you for taking such good care of our precious Lilo!”
“Patty and Patrick did an amazing job with Rosie and took exceptional care of her including trips to the dairy queen. They sent daily pictures of the fun she was having. I highly recommend them.”
“Monica was amazing as always! She kept my pup for 7 nights and sent me updates and pictures daily. It’s so nice to be able to leave town and know that your pup is well cared for. Thanks Monica!!”
“LAN was great with my young Labradoodle. He stayed with her for two weeks while I was out of the country. She put my mind at ease by sharing pictures and videos of him playing with her dog Lucy. He seemed very comfortable and well cared for with her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“James and Lauryn were clearly affectionate toward Lila and immediately brought her into their family. She was well taken care for and tended to as if she were their own.”
“Alicja is an AMAZING sitter! I will absolutely rebook in the future. She took such great care of my pup while I was out of town, and provided lots of updates with pictures and videos.”
“Jenny and Mark took excellent care of our dog over 2 weeks. Communication was easy and we received regular updates. I would definitely have them dog sit again!”
“Cassie is kind, calm, and unflappable in the face of our two mad, if adorable, Airedales, as well as our own human disorientation and disorganization. We had a one night stay as a trial run for our longer absence and it went really well. We feel confident our dogs will be well cared for while we're on vacation!”
“Mike was great! He kept us updated with pictures and videos of Murphy everyday. Murphy has some separation anxiety, but Mike reassured us that he was adjusting well to his new surroundings. Murphy enjoyed playing with his dog friends all weekend! I would definitely use Mike again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Elmo
I can't recommend Kelly enough! She is so incredibly loving and treated our small dog, Axel, like royalty while we were away. She sent frequent updates and photos of him living his absolute best life snuggling on the couch. Having total peace of mind while on vacation is priceless, and it's such a relief to find someone so trustworthy. Kelly is the absolute best!
Jennifer did a great job with our pup. We enjoyed the photos updates. She doesn’t have a fenced yard but she is not anywhere near a main road and had a nice space for him to go out. She also took him for walks often. Our dog was in good spirits when we picked him up. Would highly recommend using her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lake Elmo on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,454 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lake Elmo. 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 Lake Elmo 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 Lake Elmo 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 Lake Elmo 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 Lake Elmo.
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 Lake Elmo 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.
