“Fantastic. I had very short notice and Jessica and her husband were super accommodating. Alpine must have had a great time. He wore himself out playing with the other pups! Thanks a million. As a first time Rover user, this was an excellent experience.”
About: I've taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I can help with basic training and manners, as well as lots of "walkies" and couch time! Whatever your fur baby prefers, they will be loved by my family and I. I currently work from home, so I am available to your babies 'round the clock. If they need to be let out at specific times or take timely medications, I am available for that as well! I have a fenced yard with a very friendly male, beagle mix to keep your dogs company. I can also crate or separate easily if necessary! I can come to take them for a walk or let them out, no matter the Minnesota weather! I can provide pictures/videos, and updates as often as you'd like. They will be loved by family and I, and treated like one of our pack!
“Thank you Sarah! You are so good with bully breeds so I felt totally comfortable leaving Gordy with you. Thank you for your kindheartedness and flexibility during my first time using Rover.”
“Mike is awesome!!! My dog Giggles is a major mamas girl... she was nervous as I left but loved her stay with Mike!! He is attentive and sensitive to owners feelings. He sent pictures and videos throughout her stay. She was having a blast!! We will defiantly be using Mike in the future!!”

“Tofte is always so happy to get to Bethany's. Sometimes he isn't sure if he is ready to leave at the end of the day which is a great sign. On nice days like today, spending time exploring and playing in Bethany's fenced in back yard is a treat!”
“Philip was awesome! He took our pup at the last minute and communicated throughout the planning of his visit since we were from out of town and booking on short notice. He even offered sights to see in our RV travels as we left! We will definitely book with him if we come through town again. Don’t miss your chance to have Phil care for your furry friend. He’s a gem!”

I love to play with them and give them all the attention that they deserve I am an experienced dog owner and know what the animals need.

About: I love dogs and have a fenced in yard for them to play. 🐾 I am knowledgeable about dog behavior and recognize signs of illness or distress. I have experience with potty training, medication administration, and reinforcing basic training commands. I work day shift while my husband, Chad, works evening shift. One of us are home most of the time - there might be a few hours in the afternoon/evening when we both work. We crate our pups when they’re home alone and have a dog camera to monitor them closely. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space inside my home for pups to make themselves comfortable. In my home, dogs are welcome on furniture and will receive lots of pets and playtime. I will maintain a safe, clean, and loving environment for our fur babies.
About: I have 2 very loved dogs. Your dog's will be one of the family. Well cared for and spoiled. Will take to dog park with mine and or walks around my neighbor hood. Always safe and loved. Treats provided. Wagging tails guaranteed! I worked at several vet clinics, incuding university of Minnesota and over night emergency clinics during college and after. I decide that because I work from home and travel once in awhile for work, I could offer my service for those worried pet owners need doggie day care or overnights when traveling. I too need this service at times and worry ...I promise you no worries with me. Your pups will be well cared for. Happy and content! Worry and stress free owners and pets! I work from my home. My dogs are let outside every 2 hours. We go to walks and to dog park often. My dogs sleep with me. Spoiled and loved. I have a large yard. But your dogs will not ever be left unattended and always leashed. They will be loved just as much as I love mine.
About: Hi! My name is Allie and I've spent most of my life loving and caring for pets in multiple different environments over the years. I grew up with a bushel of miniature schnauzers, a few rodents and a snake. In college I took in a feral barn kitten and made her the talk of the university! After college, I spent 5-6 years working in a dog daycare facility which gave me experience with all different breeds and an immense amount of knowledge on behavior. After doggy daycare I moved on to working in a veterinary hospital which was an incredible resource and opportunity for me to increase me knowledge on medications as well as other medical knowledge. I would love to have the opportunity to spoil your pet as well as give you a safe space to leave your furry friend! Over the summer I am out of work and home with my pups and kids. In late August I will be headed back to work at a school nearby but working relatively short hours. We love to go on walks, to the dog park, the human park or just lounge in the back yard. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a large back yard. It is not fenced in but I do have a long line. I have a 12 year old pup who is a calm, unbothered queen and a year old pup who loves everyone and everything. In addition, I have 2 kiddos that are incredibly respectful of other pets space and will love your pets as much as their own however they can be crated if needed 😉
“Carrie, Craig and family were great. They were so loving with my dog with SA. The communication was good too. Thank you so much, Jocho will be back, and hopefully he won't be that sad when I leave🥰.”
“Kelly has been great with Coco! Because she has other dogs, Coco had the opportunity to socialize and have a ton of playtime. When I would pick her up in the evenings, she was so mellow which is saying a lot for an energetic puppy. Kelly kept me updated with pics of Coco throughout the day. We will definitely use her again!”
“I want to thank Tristan and her family for watching Marlowe for us. Marlowe was a happy puppy when we picked her up! When she is happy and wagging her tail, I know she's had a positive experience. If we are ever in the cities again and need a sitter I will not hesitate to use Tristan again! Plus, she watched her late into the evening for us because we were going to a concert!!”
“Last Friday was second time for Ruby at Mary’s. I’ve done regular daycare facilities in the past but have been wanting to try a more personal and less busy atmosphere. I feel Ruby is happy to go to Mary’s and is comfortable being there. I feel Ruby is being well cared for and trust Mary.”

Jessica and her husband are WONDERFUL dog people. Our boy Finn LOVES his time under their care. Would highly recommend them as responsible and thoughtful sitters; both as daycare providers and boarders. Thank you both!!!!!! (And please give Luna a belly rub from me!!!)
Phillip’s willingness to care for our Dog Wilbur for a 14hr day while we attended my daughter‘s wedding, decreased the overall stress of the day! He was super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and understood the importance of the day. It was helpful to receive brief updates and a couple of photos throughout the day. You are amazing Phillip! Thank you so much!!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Oakdale on Rover is $37.45 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Oakdale commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,670 sitters in Oakdale, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
