“It was our first time booking with Monica and she was so wondeful! She kept us up to date with our dog. She was prepared and read our care plan before we dropped off our dog, which I dont find that common with other sitters. She was also very accommodating with our drop-off and pick-up time. And best part is that our Aussie was happy from all the pictures Monica sent to us. She's on our top to book for future sitter! Highly recommended!”
“They were very friendly and took great care of my dogs. One of my dogs is very shy but was still able to open up to them and trust them very quickly. I also appreciated being given regular updates and photos of how they were doing.”
“Dawn was amazing while taking care of our dog Daisy. She knew just how to put her at ease and make sure she had a great time. She was very communicative with lots of photos and flexible when our travel plans changed due to the weather. We’ve found our new home away from home for Daisy!”
“Jenny and her husband watched our 9MO old French Bulldog puppy over a weekend recently. They are a super nice couple, with a dog of their own- Zoe. They provided my boy Floyd with a lot of love over the weekend. They sent me several pictures of him having a fun time (even one pic of him staring at a bowl of ice cream)! I would definitely recommend Jenny to care for your babies. Thank you!”
“We've been coming to Mike for years now. We feel that our dog is in good hands. Mike is flexible on pick ups and drop offs, good communicator and provides pictures during the stay which is always appreciated. I highly recommend Mike.”
“Rosie was very happy at Kyle’s. We saw some sweet photos of her during her stay. We appreciated your flexibility in picking her up too. Thanks much. We will definitely request to rebook with Kyle.”
“So grateful to have found Lauren to watch Asher for me when I was gone on vacation for a week! This was my first time leaving Asher alone for that long and was a bit nervous but Lauren was very calm, assuring and had tons patience. She sent tons of updates which was great! I would highly recommend her and be using her again!”
“She took great care of our doggies while we were out of town. Sent pictures and updates and our dogs looked very well cared for by Tristan. They often come back from a sitter slightly overweight (they are labs and beggars!) but Tristan had them looking as fit as ever! No diets needed! So thankful.”
“Sunny had a great long weekend boarding with Gina, Wally and family. We were sent photos, videos and regular updates. We could tell Sunny was comfortable and having a fun time. Would love to find another time to have Sunny stay with her new bestie Wally!”
“Luke and Rachel are the best! Harry always has a wonderful time at their house. They are caring and so sweet and attentive to our pup. Thank you Luke and Rachel!”
“Sarah is so great!! Wonderful communication and can tell she is super experienced with dogs! My shy boy warmed up to her quick & was so chill at pickup! Will definitely book her again!”
“Jennifer did a great job with our pup. We enjoyed the photos updates. She doesn’t have a fenced yard but she is not anywhere near a main road and had a nice space for him to go out. She also took him for walks often. Our dog was in good spirits when we picked him up. Would highly recommend using her!”
“Ashley did a wonderful job watching my goldendoodle Crosby! She sent an update and/or picture everyday to let us know what kind of activities they got up to each day. I was very happy with how much exercise she gave Crosby, sometimes I was worried that he was having so much fun that he wouldn't even want to come home! Knowing that Crosby was in such good hands with Ashley while I was gone gave me a lot of peace of mind.”
“Nicole, David and their dogs are the best! This is our second time booking with them for our dog Brew. Nicole and David are the nicest folks, and you can absolutely tell they are huge dog lovers from the moment you meet them. I hate leaving such a positive review because now their calendar will be full, but they for sure deserve it.”
“Emily was great with our dog Bam Bam, this was the 2nd time we booked her. She communicated well, sent us updates & photos of our dog playing! I’ll definitely use her again in the future! Thanks Emily!”
“Single best dog watchers we're ever had. Such a loving sweet family who treated our girls like they were their own family dogs. We couldn't be more happy”
“Andrea is easy to talk to and very flexible with drop off and pick up. Our energetic dog got a lot of good exercise while visiting, and seemed happy to stay. In addition to playing with the other resident dogs, he went for some runs with family members. He was calm and tired after pick up.”

Gem and her family took my dogs last minute and were amazing! It’s been a long time since we’ve left our dogs with a sitter. Gem kept me up to date with photos and videos while we were away leaving me knowing they were being well cared for! I will definitely be going back to Gem in the future and highly recommend her to any dog parent.
We couldn’t ask for a better sitter for Cooper! He stayed with Rozalyn & her family for two weeks while we were out of the country, and knowing he was in such loving hands made being so far from home so much easier! Cooper absolutely loves her and her girls, and her dog is his bestie! It really feels like he has a second family there. She’s caring, responsive, and sends plenty of updates, which we always look forward to. You can tell she truly cares about Cooper and wants him to feel comfortable, happy, and loved. Being away for two weeks is a long time, but I never worry when he’s with her. Having someone we trust this much is priceless. We’re so grateful to have found her and can’t recommend her enough!
This was Louie’s second stay with Carrie & Family, and this truly is a home away from home. Carrie was gracious and flexible when the stay needed to be extended due to a flight cancellation. Loving family, nice fenced yard, just a wonderful environment. We’re so grateful for their care!!
Ashley was perfect for our Freya. Freya was a little timid going to a new place, but as soon as we met and spoke with Ashley, I knew she would be in good hands. Ashley has a calming, caring demeanor. She welcomed Freya, who warmed right up to her. Her own dog was sweet and lovely and welcomed Freya as well. Ashley's home is in a very quiet neighborhood with nice walking areas. She sent photos of Freya on walks, resting on the sofa, and even performing a trick for a treat. I was very happy with her and will call her again next time we need a Rover.com. Lori M.
If I could give Katy more than 5 stars I absolutely would. My pup is a wheelchair pup who has a little more needs than some others might and Katy was extremely accommodating. She made her home his for the weekend. I’m usually nervous about leaving him places but she far surpassed my expectations when it came to caring about Miko! She was patient and thoughtful and updated me with lots of pics so I could still be in the loop. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone to take care of their pup.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Oakdale is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $61 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 2,537 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oakdale. 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 Oakdale 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 Oakdale 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 Oakdale.
<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 Oakdale 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.
