“We tried day care for the first time through Rover to prepare our pup for overnight boarding with Aish. I am very happy we found a loving home in Aish’s - Zola was significantly happier than when we pick her up from her previous kennel. She loved the company of Scooby and his humans ? I really appreciated the regular updates and photos sent … I feel good knowing she’ll be in good hands on her next visit!”
“Chelsie and her family were not only amazing and patient with Tilly, welcoming her into their home while we were away, but she was incredibly flexible with our ever changing travel schedule. Due to weather that prevented us from getting home when we originally anticipated, Chelsie was extremely understanding and accommodating to help extend Tilly’s stay with her family. This was so helpful by taking one thing off of our already stressful plates. Thank you for everything, Chelsie!”
“This would be our third time boarding our dog at Becky's. She does a wonderful job and Chloe is in good hands. She helped Chloe with an ear infection. Thank you very much. Sarah”
“They were very good about sending pics of my dog. Also, very accommodating with drop off & pickup of my dog. My dog can be very anxious and did well with their very laid back animals.”
“Our pup came home happy and well cared for. Kelly gave our dog enough exercise and even catered to our finicky eater. She was kind and treated our dog like her own! She also was easy to work with.”
“Alecia was really great! We were gone for an extended trip and never once felt worried about our pup.we knew she was in good hands and it wasn’t long before she was completely settled in. We will be reaching out in the future to rebook!”
“Cheyann is amazing! So sweet, kind, and gentle. I had no worries leaving my dog with her. I am using her again when I go out of town in a few weeks and again, I’ll have no worries. I will not hesitate to use her more or refer her to friends.”
“This was our first Rover and at first we were apprehensive to book, however, Katrina and Drew did a great job taking care of our two dogs. We got to meet Katrina and Drew before booking and immediately knew our dogs would be in good hands. They are nice and easy going people which we naturally gravitated towards. While we were gone they sent us pictures and updates of the dogs. Would definitely recommend. We will use them again over a dog boarding place in a heartbeat.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Marine was a great communicator from the moment I reached out! We ended up booking pretty last minute so we really appreciated Marine’s flexibility with the meet and greet and drop off and pick up times. We got daily updates and photos, everything was great! Thanks Marine and family!”
“Elizabeth and her family did a great job with Gus! He came home happy and well taken care of. She communicated often with photos and videos and was very responsive with my questions before leaving. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone!!”
“Steven and Diane were great. They have excellent communication, sent us photos, and sent home Lutsen all tuckered out. Thanks so much guys! Can’t wait to bring Lutsen your way again soon.”
“Ann was amazing. She took care of our senior dog with some medical needs and aging and gave Louise exactly what she needed with such positive kindness. We got pictures and videos and felt like our sweet little old lady dog was truly in the best care during our trip. I will definitely use Ann again because she was incredible.”
“Nova had another great stay with Julie and Ben. Once again, we received lots of pictures, where it was clear that Nova was content and happy... playing with her toys and with the kids, going on walks and getting snuggles. Nova enjoyed spending lots of time laying in the fenced backyard enjoying some sunshine. Nova's stay was for 9 nights and Julie let me know that they didn't think they had enough food for the last day. My bad. They generously offered to go shop for some more food, which was greatly appreciated.”
“Our family trust Shelley with both doodles over extended periods of time and she consistently provides them with attention, exercise, and care. The dogs love going back to her. Highly recommended for extended stays!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Lakeville is $45
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.

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.
