“Kelly and her family made our dog Celine feel like part of their own. I was so happy to learn that she wouldn’t be in a crate for the majority of the time spent at Kelly’s. It was so reassuring to go away and know that my pup was being lovingly cared for.”
“This is Mochi's second time staying with Lan. Mochi was so happy to see her again! Mochi and Lan's pup Lucy also get along well - so we know that Mochi is having a great time while we're gone. Thank you, Lan!”
“Got frequent updates and our pup seemed to love the environment! Monika was very welcoming and understanding when it came to certain instructions with our dog will definitely go back for future stays:)”
“Monica was awesome! I had the ultimate peace of mind knowing that my girl was being taken care of by such a wonderful human. She sent photo updates, and overall, it looked like she and Sophie had a great time and enjoyed one another's company.”
“Mike is great with our Ruby. She loves playing with other dogs in his care, and he has everything set up for their comfort. Mike also sends frequent photos and video of the good time she's having!”
“Jenny and fam were amazing! I felt comfortable with her from the moment we showed up at her house. They loved on Mocha and she looked like she adjusted quickly and was part of the family. The pictures she sent made me smile. Thank you for providing such a loving and safe home! We will be back.”
“Jessica and her husband were great. My dog has separation anxiety, but she was in no hurry to leave their home. And, she's been relaxed since her stay with them. Communication was great. I will definitely use Jessica again!”
“This is our first time using Rover and it could not have gone better! Brock and Laura were so nice, understanding, and supportive. We got multiple updates to reassure us, the dogs got so many walks - rain or shine. I will definitely be using them again!!!”
“Everything about this stay was fantastic! Cate and Tim were VERY accommodating and took really good care of our Sadie. The yard and home are set up for dogs to be safe and have fun. Cate is super responsive and flexible. Sadie enjoyed hanging out with their nice family and very friendly family pet. Thanks Cate!”
“My dog was well cared for - even pampered by being allowed to sleep on the humans' bed. She came home happy and a little tired after a weekend with Danielle's 2 much younger, more active, but very gentle dogs. Danielle has a very large, secure yard for the dogs to play in and explore. Between the outdoor space and the young dogs to play with, Flicka got lots of good exercise.”
“Karen is truly incredible. She takes care of your four legged kid like it is her own and does not miss a beat. She gave daily updates, exposed our pup to things he has never been exposed to, and is genuinely a great human being. We are incredibly grateful for the time that we could spend away completely worry free with our dog in Karen’s care.”
“Katie is an amazing sitter. She watched our dog Ramen for a week. She kept him active with walks and took so many pictures/videos. Her dogs are so cute and they became bffs. We were so lucky to have Katie as our sitter. Her communication is exceptional and I can tell she really loves what she does. Please have Ramen back!”
“Robert sent photos and videos everyday. He really picked up on our dog's personalities. We will definitely use him again and recommend him to others. The dogs had a great time!”
“Dynette is Izzy's favorite pet sitter! She gets so excited to see her and stay with her!! Dynette always has great communication and updates during Izzy's stay. We get to enjoy our get aways knowing Izzy is having a special time being loved on by Dynette!!”
“Ali was great and communicated to us throughout our trip perfectly. She was very flexible, and Piper seemed to have a great time with her and her family! Would love to go back there again next time”
“Claire did a great job taking care of our dog Remy! He is a high energy lab mix and can be anxious and very vocal, but Claire was patient and sent lots of updates.”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Elmo
This was our first time boarding our dog, Teddy with her, and we had a wonderful experience! She took great care of him and sent us pictures and updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also very flexible and accommodating with our drop-off and pick-up times. We really appreciated her kindness, communication, and the care she gave our dog. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lake Elmo on Rover is $55.5 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 2,425 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.
