“Frank, Clarissa and their family took wonderful care of our dog, Bentley. He warmed up to them almost immediately during a short meet & greet, and from the the pictures during his stay, it was clear that he felt at home and was getting a lot of attention, play time & love during his stay. They’re also great communicators - they checked in with us, sent regular updates and responded quickly.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kimberly & John! Great communication and we loved all the pictures of Oakley having fun while we were gone. He seemed to fit right in and was so well loved. We'll be booking again!”
“Cherie and her family were amazing! She kept me informed and sent lots of pictures, which helped ease my nerves about leaving my dogs for so long. I will definitely recommend her and use her services again.”
“Kyle asked great questions during the meet and greet and let me know a bit about his daily dog routine, so I knew it would be a good fit for Rush. Drop off and pickup was super easy. Got regular updates and pictures during Rush's stay. Returned from my trip to a happy and exhausted dog! Would definitely have Kyle watch Rush again!”
“Cassandra and Eric (along with their two sweet girls) took great care of our pup. The daily photos/videos were wonderful to receive. They were good communicators and were flexible with drop off and pick up times. Most importantly, it felt like they treated Rosie as part of their family.”
“This was the first time Dipper has stayed with William. She did very well. William is very kind and this was reflected in Dippers behavior when I picked her up-relaxed, tail wagging, as if she'd come from a mini-vacation. Great communication and plenty of pictures too!”
“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“Ashley took such great care of our fur baby Ginger, she sent us photos everyday of them walking, going to the park, hanging out, it was really nice hearing and seeing how she was doing while we were away. I would highly recommend Ashley, we’ll definitely be using her again.”
“Very nice young couple with plenty of play area inside and out. Penny seemed very happy and enjoyed her time. Communication was excellent. Hope to book with them again soon!”
“I always worry when I leave Brandy somewhere and I can’t be with her. I had ZERO worries with Diana! She was also very accommodating with a last minute change. I received pictures periodically to see how Brandy was doing which was very nice as well. I will definitely be contacting Diana in the future!”
“Stacey was such a GREAT FIND. We were extremely happy with the care our Sasha received. We received photos of our little Sasha and updates almost daily. She cared for her as if her own. I will certainly reach out again for future trips.”
“Kiersa cares for my 100# Labrador which is no easy task. She shows him love and kindness which I so appreciate. I always feel comfortable leaving Enzo in her care. Kiersa is awesome!”
“Archie had another great stay with Valerie and is already looking forward to visiting again! He was well taken care of and our family felt confident that he was in the best of hands. Thank you!”
“Mochi spent a full week with Carine and her family, and it went very well. Communication was excellent - Carine was attentive to all the details we shared and very responsive via text. We received updates throughout each day and during our trip, which we really appreciated. My kids loved seeing photos and updates of Mochi playing and cuddling with her kids. He was truly treated like one of their own, and it was clear how much he was loved, he will genuinely be missed by their family. Carine was also thoughtful about managing energy levels when another dog was staying at the same time and always checked in first. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mochi in her care and would absolutely use her again.”
“Nickolai was extremely responsive, professional, and considerate. My dog loved the large backyard and resident dog, and was well-cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Nickolai again”

Kyle was great with Buddy! Right away Sota and Buddy were fast friends. He has a great fenced in backyard and got lots of exercise while he stayed over. He was super excited to meet other pups and we didn’t worry about him one bit. We came back to get him and he slept for 2 days from all the fun he had! We definitely will work with Kyle and Sota again.
Fantastic experience!!!! My pups stayed 5 days with Kath when we had a last minute out of town trip. Kath was very responsive and accommodating. She has a great fenced-in backyard, living room set up for pups, and a walking trail they took the pups on for long, nature walks. My pups will definitely be back at Kath’s ! I feel very fortunate ( both for me as pup-mom and for my pups:) ) to have found her!
Lisa was amazing with our five year old Goldendoodle. He had a blast with her during his one-week stay and was well cared for and loved. Lisa sent updates and pics daily. It was such a wonderful experience. Couldn’t recommend her more highly. She was a wonderful host.
Cristina and her family were wonderful. Confident from the moment we communicated that my doggie would be well taken care for. He stayed at their place for five days and we received constant communication and pictures/ videos. Classic wondering if our dog loves it more at Cristina’s house than ours! Will be asking her again to watch our dood.
Isabelle responded quickly & was so friendly and flexible with my schedule changes & many questions since it was my 1st time using Rover. Bentley was welcomed with open arms and got along great with her 2 dogs. I knew he'd be in great hands and get all the love and play time he needed. Isabelle sent me photos which really put me at ease to know he was safe and having a great time. He came home exhausted and happy. I couldn't ask for a more loving caregiver than IsabelIe and she only lives 2 blks from my home. Thank you, I will definitely be calling her again. .
Abigail was so wonderful and took amazing care of my (high maintenance) little terrier while I was out of town for a week. He got lots of attention and walks, and the clearly bonded. They clearly bonded and he had a great time. She even made a sweet care package for him! I would highly recommend her to anyone.
My dogs clearly enjoyed themselves and I appreciated getting daily updates with photos. Two of my dogs can be fussy and particular about meals and that was handled well. I felt a high level of comfort in leaving my dogs with them and it helped me enjoy my trip so much more. I will definitely book again without hesitation.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Minnetonka on Rover is $46.62 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 .

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 Minnetonka 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 Minnetonka 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 Minnetonka 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 Minnetonka.
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 Minnetonka 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.
