“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!”
“Our pup had so much fun with Chelsie and her family while we were away! Chelsie had great communication and sent the best updates with adorable photos of Zula. Would 100% recommend Chelsie to care for your dog and will definitely be asking her to watch Zula again!”
“I’m so grateful that we found Aish and her family to care for our Bailey while we traveled. She’s extremely responsive to messages and we loved getting pictures of Bailey while we were gone. We will definitely be returning in the future , knowing that our pup is in good hands while we are away.”
“Becky was amazing! My beloved ❤️ Cinder & I had been traveling since Christmas & moved back to the area for my job & school. Becky helped me out in a jam while I was waiting for my rental to open. She treated Cinder as one of her family - Gave her TLC, hugs, a bath & when the polar vortex hit she let me add a few more days because of the weather. Not everyone would do that. Highly recommend!”
“Carrie was absolutely amazing with Chase. They sent daily updates with photos, followed all care instructions perfectly, and my pup came home happy. I’ll definitely rebook—thank you for the peace of mind! Mike & Family”
“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.”
“Marine was an excellent choice to watch my pup. She sent pix of my pup, and Sophie appeared relaxed and comfortable in her home, and very relaxed when I picked her up. I will surely consider using Marine again in the future.”
“Dee is the best! She takes great care of our little Luna. She is the only sitter we want to use. She sends us pics throughout the stay which is so nice to see too. I can tell Luna loves staying with her 😎”
“Cheyann- was the best dog sitter we've ever had! Her daily photo updates made me feel at ease knowing our family dog was well taken care of. Cheyann has a gentle demeanor that made our dog feel right at home!”
“Steven and Diane took amazing care of our dogs! We were able to drop the dogs off a day early due to our flight being changed and everything went super smooth! They sent us updates and photos through the week as well. We will 100% book again!”
“Vanessa was mindful of our dog's unique needs at the meet and greet. She and her daughters were very loving and responsible. It was great to see so many photos and fun captions to them while we were aware. Her responses were helpful and quick.”
“Katie and her family were amazing with our 8 month old puppy! They were very responsive and went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable with them— from a pre-trip phone call to sending us videos of our pup while we were gone. He came back very happy!!”
“Ray had a wonderful time with Shelley and the pack. She has a beautiful setting, perfect for dogs to run and play with plenty to sniff. She is a wonderful host, communicated with us regularly and we felt comfortable that Ray was in good hands during our trip. We will definitely use Shelley again.”
“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.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lakeville on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,322 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.
94% 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.
