“Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.”
“As always Jeremiah takes great care of Bo. Always keeps us informed on how Bo is doing and sends lots of pictures. He even works to figure out how to help with Bo when he is being a picky eater and making sure he is eating.”
“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!”
“Marina took good care of our pets and we could tell that she is definitely a dog person. We saw that both dogs were enjoying their cuddles in the picture we received. We are rarely separated from them, so it was nice to have no worries. Marina’s home is lovely and well equipped with pet toys and a feeding station. We noticed the surrounding grounds were nice for walking the dogs. We will rebook should the need arise.”

“Cherie took great care of our tiny puppy! She was responsive and kept us updated daily with photos and more. She made our pup feel at home and we felt so safe leaving our dog in her care with lots of walks and potty breaks. We highly recommend Cherie and will be using her again!!!”
“Hyeyoon was wonderful! She followed our dog’s daily routine to a tee and asked such thoughtful questions. We received pictures and updates each day. We will definitely use her again!”
“Beth and Evan are awesome! We’ve been using Beth and Evan for many years now. Our dog really loves going to stay with them. Even if it’s been a while, he runs right up to the door and doesn’t look back! They’re very good communicators and take really good care of my senior Golden.”
“Daniela watched my 4 month old puppy and I couldn’t be happier! She was extremely responsive when we reached out to her and continued communication with us the whole time! I got updates throughout everyday with pictures and messages on how my pup was doing! Even sent us home with some more treats and a bone! Will definitely be coming back to her!”
“Regina is truly a gem! We got pictures, videos and updates of our fur baby. When the time came for us to pick up, our pup was obviously in love with Regina! Would highly recommend!”

“Piper had an amazing time at Amy’s house and came home nice and tired!! Amy also provided updates daily with cute pictures. Piper was able to play with her dog and young kids and she also had an invisible fence collar that Piper could wear so she wouldn’t run out of the yard. Will be using Amy again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Minnetonka
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.
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.
Mandi was amazing! This was our dog's first boarding experience and it was definitely a great one. He's still a puppy and learning to stay away from us is something he's still getting used to from time to time. Mandi was very accommodating and super helpful before we dropped our pup off. The drop-off and pick-up process was easy and stress-free. There was another review that said the property was hard to find, but Mandi provided me the address and google maps had no issues finding it! Our pup definitely seemed to be having a good time. It was also a great experience for him to hang around dogs and kids in a more casual and calm setting. I would definitely recommend Mandi for your boarding needs!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Minnetonka is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,596 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Minnetonka. 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 Minnetonka 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 Minnetonka 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 Minnetonka.
<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 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 , 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.
