“Chelsie was an awesome dog sitter. She watched our two dogs and sent many updates throughout their stay. She was also very accommodating to our schedule. We would definitely have her watch our dogs again!”
“This was my first time using Wish and it was absolutely wonderful that by the time I got to Target drive up she had sent me a photo love the other two small dogs that my dog was playing with it totally put my mind at ease! She sent me other photos as updates and even a video. I absolutely loved her service it's close to my house convenient and I like that my dog got to play with her son also. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Leanna was so great! I appreciated the updates and photos and Nordy had a great time and was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and use again in the future!”
“Becky was wonderful! Patient and very accommodating. This was my first time using Rover, she made the experience for both Avery and I less nerve wracking. I hope to be able to hire Becky again in the future.”
“Kelly did a great job watching my two toy Aussie’s! The dogs immediately got comfortable with Kelly and her two beautiful greyhounds. They loved the large fenced in grass yard— they were in dog heaven! Kelly sent photos and kept me posted on how my pups were doing. I so appreciated the updates since Kelly graciously took them at the last minute (due to a funeral in the family). I will definitely contact Kelly again— thank you!”
“Sebastian had a great time with Shelby and all the other Rover dogs that stayed with her and her family! With plenty of picture updates, it looks like he spent the majority of the beautiful week outside playing. He definitely can’t wait to go back and hang with his buds! Truly a vacation for him.”
“Katrina and Drew were amazing with our Poppy. It's the first time we have picked her up and she was hesitant to jump in the car to go home. We know she was well-loved and in good hands with them :)”
“Ashley took great care of my baby! Needed someone to watch him last minute for a few days but I am very particular on who watches him. Ashley and her dog Bailey were a perfect fit for him. She took him to the dog park and sent regular updates as well as pictures to assure me he was doing well. Would definitely bring him back to her again!”
“This is our third time booking with Steve and Diane. We will return again and again. Our puppies are so happy and calm when they return home after a visit with Steve and Diane.”
“Alecia and Todd (and their family) were wonderful with mini-goldendoodle, Ole, for a week+ over the holidays. They took great care of him, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing that Ole would be loved (and be a part of family life) while we were gone.”
“Dee is the absolute best Dog sitter! Our dog Luna is a high energy dog who is also very vocal and Dee does a great job caring for her. We know we don’t have to worry as she is being spoiled.”
“We could tell Peg & Greg took great care of our dog; culminating in LOTS of stories and pictures. We would be happy to send our pup over to their place any time.”
“She did an amazing job. Very flexible and allowed me to drop off and pick up any time. Must of had lots of play time with him because he had to sleep it off for next 2 days! Could definitely tell he enjoyed his stay!”
“Their family took wonderful care of my little maltipoo. I was updated daily with pictures and comments. I will definitely use them again in the future and highly recommend them!”
“Great sitters, nice family. Our dogs had a great time there and immediately fell asleep when they got home after all the play time. Will be booking again with Liana and Dan in the future.”
“Mary is absolutely the BEST! Our family is SO thankful that we found such a caring person to watch Teddy while we are away! She sends daily pictures, gets Teddy outside and on walks, and we know Teddy is having so much fun with her dog Izzy! We truly could not ask for a better dog sitter! We plan on booking with her again and again! Thank you Mary!!!🩷”
“Sean and his family provided a perfect home away from home for our two poodles. He was very responsive and gave updates and pictures. I recommend booking with him and will be returning for future sitting needs!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeville
Kim was absolutely amazing with our energetic yellow lab, Daisy. Daisy wasn’t used to being taken care of at someone else’s home, and was stressed out. Daisy had diarrhea and was shedding. Kim, bless her heart, went out and got turkey and rice to help Daisy. With Kim’s care and love, Daisy bounced back to her old self. Kim sent us photos of Daisy during her stay and gave us updates. By the end of the week, when I came to pick Daisy up, she actually looked sad to go! Kim did a fabulous job taking care of Daisy! I would highly recommend her! Thanks Kim!!!
We had such a great experience with Samantha watching Stanley while we were away! It was clear from the start how much she genuinely cared for him and treated him like he was her own. That kind of peace of mind means everything when you’re leaving your dog in someone else’s care. We’re so happy we chose Samantha and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone who will love your pet just as much as you do!
Rachel was amazing! Kipper, my furry companion, was treated like a king-runnng and chasing the ball daily, having time to rest and look out the window (which is his favorite thing to do, playing with the resident children, and daily petting and care. I will be using Rachel in the future. You won't be disappointed by having Rachel be your dog sitter.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Lakeville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lakeville on Rover is $44.4 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 2,355 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lakeville. 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.
95% of Lakeville 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 Lakeville 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 Lakeville 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 Lakeville.
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 Lakeville 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.
