“Monika was great! She took good care of our goose, sending us photos so we could see how he was doing. We felt very comfortable that he was well cared for and will use her services again. Highly recommended.”
“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!”
“Robert was incredible to work with. He picked up and dropped off Woofly for us and sent lots of pictures during his stay. He was easy to communicate with and took great care of our pup. We’d happily send Woofly back to him again. Thank you, Robert!”
“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.”
“Dawn and her family cared for our dog like he was their own. We loved the daily picture updates. Dawn exceeded all expectations and we will definitely be using her again the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Jenny and fam were amazing! I felt comfortable with her from the moment we showed up at her house. They loved on Mocha and she looked like she adjusted quickly and was part of the family. The pictures she sent made me smile. Thank you for providing such a loving and safe home! We will be back.”
“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.”
“Lauren did a great job boarding out Great Pyrenees for a couple of nights. She kept us up to date with pictures. The have two dogs of their which my dog enjoyed. They also have a large fenced in backyard. I would highly recommend Lauren.”
“Kelly proactively provided updates and pics throughout our trip...was not expected, but certainly appreciated. Our pup stayed active and even got to visit the dog park in her short stay. Very happy and will use again!”
“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!!”
“Wonderful experience for us and our dog. We worked with Brittany for our 2.5 year old Cockapoo on a recent 6 day vacation we had in July 2021. She has other dogs at home so our dog had companions. Our oldest daughter adores our dog beyond words and Brittany was great about texting updates on Bella's stay and sending photos the whole week so we could see how she was. She definitely got lots of love and attention and came home happy. Her communication with us was great and we would definitely use her again.”
“Ashley was amazing! Juno is very shy and usually takes a long time to warm up to strangers. Ashley was very patient with her and provided a calm and supportive environment. She also took Juno on at least 1 long walk a day - if not two and had a fantastic birthday celebration for Juno with a hike and raw bone!!! I would go back to Ashley in a heartbeat. I also really appreciated her daily updates with photos of Juno so I knew she was doing well and having fun.”
“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!”
“Debbie and Mike are great! They are very responsive and made sure our puppy was well taken care of with lots of pictures and updates throughout the week. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Xan took great care of my 2 1/2 -year old puppy providing lots of cuddles and playtime plus hikes in good weather. Xan paid good attention to my puppy’s eating quirks and medication needs. She communicated just as I requested and sent fun photos. I greatly appreciated Xan’s flexibility when my flight was delayed. Overall, a great experience. I highly recommend Xan.”
“When I met Jon and Natalie, I knew they would be great dog sitters and I was right. They treated my dog as if she were their own. I’m very thankful for the excellent care they provided and it’s comforting to know that I don’t need to worry about my dog when I’m away from home. Thanks Jon and Natalie!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakdale
Monika’s love of dogs and extensive experience is immediately obvious when you meet her (and her dogs). My dog can get anxious and misbehave when left alone, so Monika went out of her way to both accommodate him and make him feel comfortable. She provided regular updates, and it was clear my dog was having a blast playing with her dogs in her lovely backyard. I would both recommend Monika and hope to have her watch Cooper again in the future.
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.
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 , 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.
