“Aish and family are absolutely amazing. We feel so lucky to have her in our network as a second home for Romeo when needed. She is caring, a strong communicator and a wonderful human being. 10/10 recommend!”
“Bob did a great job taking care of our miniature golden doodle. He walked him daily, gave him lots of outside time, naps and managed his picky eating. Bob is attentive to details and took notes at meet & greet and at drop off. Thanks for the great care Bob!”
“Kelly is superb at caring for our dog. When we leave, our dog doesn’t eat well, but Kelly coaxed her to eat well! She gave Grace plenty of outdoor time as well as snuggles and attention. We love Kelly and our dog does too!”
“I typically book with a daycare center but due to the amount of time we would be gone, we feared he would suffer from anxiety and loneliness. So we decided to book with a home daycare to ensure he received more personal care. They did an awesome job with Jake. Seemingly, he was treated like their own with lots of cuddle time. They provided daily updates and included cute photos. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely use them again.”
“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!”
“Lynne watched my 3 corgis for over a week. Upon returning from my trip I found them healthy and in good spirits! Lynne was responsive when I asked how things were going during the week. I couldn't have been happier with the care my dogs received from Lynne.”
“Amy and her husband were such wonderful caretakers for our 12 year old lab mix. We would definitely love to have them care for him again. The communication was great and it is clear they cared for our dog as if he was their own. Highly recommend!”
“Barb was so nice and easy to work with. Her home is welcoming, back yard is great for the puppers. Mine fur babies were really happy at pickup and thats always the sign of a great sitter.”
“River took great care of Julio while we were away for a long vacation. She shared pics and vids of him enjoying her space and playing with other dogs, and he clearly had fun. I highly recommend trusting River with your pet, we'll be back!”
“Alka and Rajeev gave Kimchi very good care. They forwarded pictures and videos of her during her stay at their house which confirmed she was getting a lot of good exercise and walks. The feedback was very timely. I was very satisfied with the care given toward Kimchi which provided me peace of mind while I was on vacation. I would book with them again.”
“This was our first experience with Katie / Rover and it could not have been any better. It was literally a home away from home for our baby. Katie's dog honey has great temperament and stayed our Puppy's BFF throughout..Katie is exceptional to work with, provides regular updates with pics , and is very flexible / responsive. Highly recommend!”
“We loved having Brenda watch our pup! She sent lots of updates and pictures during the stay. Her family and dogs were so sweet and playful with her, too. Would definitely recommend!”
“Peg and Greg did another great job with our boy. It means the world to us to know he’s in the best of hands with someone who cares. Rover needs to allow bigger tips in the app :)”
“Great sitters, I got good updates and photos. My dog had a few accidents while there, but they were very understanding about that, which was a relief! Would definitely use them again, if they’d have my Snoopy again.”
“Leaving Mabel with Brooke for the first time felt so comfortable. She treated Mabel as her own and Mabel was happy to have the company of her dogs. We received updates along her stay and you could always see Mabel looked quite at home. Brooke’s updates let us know Mabel was loved and cared for while we were away. So glad we found Brooke!”
“Kendra took great care of our Clyde, we will definitely book with her again should we need a dog sitter! She responded promptly throughout Clyde’s stay and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. We appreciated that she was open to a meet and greet prior to the stay, which put us at ease since this was our first time using Rover. She listened to all of Clyde’s needs and made sure he was well taken care of!”
“Marill took excellent care of our girls! We needed a last minute sitter and she made them feel comfortable and at home. She is knowledgeable about dog behaviors, dogs needing meds and is comfortable with big dogs. Thank you for the great care you took looking after our girls! They will be back in the future!”

Robert took excellent care of my two dogs, Edie and Puppy. He even sent me a group photo of him with my dogs sitting in his lap, and they seemed to really like him. I was a little nervous about having him watch my dogs because he didn’t have many reviews, but after meeting him for the first time, my husband and I felt very confident he would take good care of them. He’s a genuinely nice guy who actively listened to what I had to say about my dogs, took notes, and asked questions. He kept me updated with texts and pictures showing how my dogs were doing, which made me feel at ease. My dogs clearly liked Robert, and they even personally said goodbye to him. I would strongly recommend Robert to any pet owner and would gladly use him again in the future. He will be my first choice for Edie and Puppy.
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lakeville is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 2,343 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Lakeville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lakeville home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
