“Monika and her pet family were wonderful with my two dogs. My dogs got along well with her pets and loved the large, fenced back yard. My older dog is deaf and has some GI issues requiring medication which Monika took care of for me. The pictures she sent on a daily basis showed how happy they were and cared for. They stayed for a week and loved every minute with her family.”
“Dynette was amazing watching our fur baby. Sent lots of pictures/updates and gave our girl lots of love. I would highly recommend her as a sitter and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Jessica was fantastic about taking care of my dog. They gave me daily update and could tell they really wanted to make her comfortable. They were responsive to all of my questions it was such a great experience.”
“Monica did an amazing job with our Izzy. She made sure Izzy got all of her exercise, loved on her, played with her and was responsive with pictures and texts. Would highly recommend her and use her again.”
“This is his second home. Roxanne makes sure he gets hugs and scratches, love and fun. He is always happy to arrive at their home. Tail wagging. That’s his 5 star rating.”
“Katie was amazing! She kept us in the loop the whole time and had great communication. Even though our dog chewed the door frame a bit, Katie was very understanding and didn't blame our pup. She has 2 other dogs Wally and Daphne. She has a fenced in backyard. Our dog got along with them both. They are both older dogs and calm. Highly recommend Katie to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Jenny and Mark took excellent care of our dog over 2 weeks. Communication was easy and we received regular updates. I would definitely have them dog sit again!”
“Robert sent photos and videos everyday. He really picked up on our dog's personalities. We will definitely use him again and recommend him to others. The dogs had a great time!”
“Julie and family were great caretakers and communicators. My dog hadn’t been away from us for a while and arrived with his quirks. Julie was patient with him and helped him feel at home. A great Rover family!”
“Ali was great. My golden can be a handful sometimes, particularly with more than one other dog. Ali was in control the whole time and Nieve came home happy and tired.”
“Rozalyn was a wonderful caretaker of our dog. Her dog and our dog got a long really well. She did everything that I asked her to do. She also sent us a lot of pictures! We would highly recommend her.”
“My dog was well cared for - even pampered by being allowed to sleep on the humans' bed. She came home happy and a little tired after a weekend with Danielle's 2 much younger, more active, but very gentle dogs. Danielle has a very large, secure yard for the dogs to play in and explore. Between the outdoor space and the young dogs to play with, Flicka got lots of good exercise.”
“Our chihuahua stayed with Kelly and her family for the day and seemed very well taken care of. Kelly sent photos of him, obviously enjoying himself with her kids. I would not hesitate to leave our little guy there again.”
“Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.”
“Jenny was a great sitter for our little guy. This was our first time using Rover so glad it went well. Always sent me a daily picture & update, which was super nice! Our pup seemed right at home and loved by her and her family. Thx!”
“Mike is the BEST! He was so caring and considerate, and our dog Sota was actually depressed after he had to leave Mike and his family because he had so much fun!!! He took such great care of Sota and truly cared about his needs and well being. Mike kept us up to date with pictures of Sota every day, and really welcomed our dog in as part of the family. I would highly recommend Mike for sitting your pet if you care about hiring a trustworthy and over-qualified sitter!”
“Scout had a great time running in their 1 acre fenced yard. They took great care with her and updated us with pictures and videos daily. She came home happy and tired. Yay! Thank you for loving on Scout.”

Im a first time dog mom and this was my first time putting my pup with someone else while I was at work. The family was so sweet to my doggy even though he was super nervous and they were extra flexible in allowing him to stay an extra hour after my work meeting ran over.
Monika was GREAT with our 2 dogs! She watched them while we were off getting married and then off to our honeymoon. Over the 16 day long stay they had with her, Monika would send daily pictures and updates which we LOVED!!! She cared for my Bubbles even with a cruciate ligament tear in one of her knees. Monika had previous experience with her own dog and was able to care for Bubbles and her injury until she could get in for surgery. Overall, you can tell Monika LOVE animals and LOVES what she does. Leaving our dogs in Monika’s care is the best decision we could’ve made! :)
We had an amazing experience boarding Mochi at Roselyn’s home! From the very beginning, Roselyn was kind, attentive, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Mochi in her care. Her dog and cat are incredibly friendly, and it was so heartwarming to see how much they loved Mochi. Mochi felt right at home and clearly enjoyed the companionship and welcoming environment. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mochi was happy, safe, and well cared for. Rozalyn kept us updated, shared pictures and videos, and it was obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We truly appreciated the love and attention Mochi received during the stay. Highly recommend Roselyn to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy dog-boarding experience. We would absolutely book with her again!
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.
Last year was my first time being away from my three-year-old dog since he was a puppy, so I was meticulous on finding someone I thought would keep my dog comfortable and happy while I was away. I saw Louka's profile and thought it sounded like the perfect fit. From the initial messaging, Louka was incredibly responsive, attentive, and on top of things. She also radiated warmth, kindness, positivity, gentleness, and patience. These qualities shined through during our Meet and Greet as well. She truly was the perfect person! After dropping my dog off and arriving at the airport, I wondered if it would be too early to check in on him. It turned out that Louka had already sent a message and several pictures within the hour of dropping him off! I was able to see how quickly he had adjusted to being with her. She provided several updates on day one, and she made sure to message me immediately the next morning telling me about how his first night went. From that point on, I did not have a single worry about my dog. Whenever I checked in on him, it was simply because I missed him! She was wonderful about sending multiple unprompted daily updates with pictures and videos as well. With each update, I could tell how absolutely comfortable and happy my dog was in Louka's care. He ate, drank, went to the bathroom, played, cuddled, and slept - all without missing a beat! This made me happy!! I found Louka to be really soothing and reassuring during my entire trip. This year, I was lucky enough to be able to schedule with Louka again. One of the biggest takeaways from this time was the way she treated my dog as if he were her own, opening both her heart and home to him (as she lovingly put it, "my couch is his couch."). The other biggest takeaway was her generous flexibility with scheduling. No matter what she had going on, she made sure departing and reuniting with my dog went as smoothly and efficiently as possible. I am so grateful to have found the most trustworthy person to care for my dog, and I am glad that she chooses to be a caretaker! It suits her so well! Louka will continue to be my go-to caretaker for any future trips. She is amazing!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oakdale on Rover is $46.62 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 2,560 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 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 Oakdale 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 Oakdale 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 Oakdale 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 Oakdale.
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 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 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.
