“Thank you for taking such great care of Grizzly. He came home happy and tired. We loved receiving all of the updates and photos. We will definitely be reaching out the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“If you want your pet to be cared for and loved like their with you....Kelly and her girls are the BEST!!! My Wynnie girl was treated so well. I received texts and daily photos. I could not be more happy with the care that they provided. I will use Kelly for Wynnie when needed because I will not have to worry knowing my baby is getting the best care possible. I HIGHLY recommend Kelly and girls to take care of you pet.❤❤”
“First time with Dynette. She was very concerned with Bella's needs especially when she had diarrhea. Good communication daily and pictures sent relieved some of our anxiety. Would request Dynette again.”
“Would absolutely recommend Kaitlyn! She took fantastic care of our Bernedoodle while we were away, and we loved the daily updates. Booking, communication and pickup and drop off were super easy. Thanks for taking great care of our pup!”
“We had a fantastic experience with our sitter! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, sending regular updates and adorable pictures of our dogs that really put our minds at ease. Our pups were clearly happy and well cared for, and they loved playing in her spacious, fenced-in backyard with other friendly dogs. When we had to extend the stay unexpectedly due to weather, she was flexible and accommodating without hesitation. I felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs in her care, and it’s clear she genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend!”
“Very pleasant couple and adorable dog Luna. Send pictures and updates on Chester during his stay with them. Fenced yard was great with camera to know when the dogs wanted back in the house.”
“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!”
“Lan was an excellent caretaker for Hazel. She sent photos upon request. Hazel loved playing with Lucy. We will definitely use her again when we're traveling.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Patricia and Patrick were absolutely wonderful. They took great care of Juno and I really enjoyed getting all of the updates and photos. Juno also seemed really relaxed and playful when we went to pick her up. We will be rebooking with them in the future for sure!”
“We had Monica watch our Gus for the weekend and couldn't be happier! It was our first time using Rover and she was amazing! She sent us updates and pictures everyday. I would highly recommend Monica. She took him on lots of walks and he seemed so happy and worn out when we picked him up! I can't say enough great things about her.”
“Kyle did a great job caring for our pup while we were out of town and was extremely prompt with all of our correspondence; including in our request to watch our pup, which really put us at ease! I definitely recommend him! :)”
“Mike was great with Ghost. Friendly and helpful from beginning to end. Very accomodating and extremely flexible and patient with our hectic schedule during his stay. Would defiantly recommend!”
“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.”
“Julie and Jesse were awesome pet sitters! I received updates and pictures daily. Both of my dogs seemed to really enjoy their time. I will be a repeat client for sure!! Highly recommended!”

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.
