“Katie was wonderful! Kylo came home happy and healthy. He had a wonderful time playing with Honey. We loved how Katie sent an update with a picture every day. We will definitely use Katie again in the future!”
“This is the 2nd time with Aish and family for my 7 month old pup. He seems very happy there and well taken care of. I enjoyed receiving the photos and videos throughout his stay. Thank you soo much for taking care of Jasper!”
“Care for Mia was great! I was able to drop off at an early morning hour (which isn’t always ideal) and I was able to pick up earlier than I thought I needed care for. I appreciate the flexibility and knowing Mia was cared for so well!”
“Lonni and Steven were wonderful! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family and it could have not been a better experience. They were so kind and welcoming and took such great care of our Ruby!”
“This was our 2nd time leaving our now 14.5 year old dog with Gretchen and John, and once again, they were great! Sent updates multiple times a day which was reassuring for this nervous dog mom and followed by overkill of directions perfectly : ) will definitely continue to use them!”
“Thanks Brooke! I was so glad you were able to take him on such short notice. He obviously had a great time with you and the pack. I think you were a hit with him, and I'll definitely be reaching out for the next boarding! ~bill”
“Lisa & Drew and their young boys took excellent care of Buck. Lisa communicated above and beyond with updates on how Buck was acclimating to a new environment as well as cute pics of Buck playing with the boys. I highly recommend Lisa & Drew if you are looking for a trust worthy and responsible pet sitter for your pet.”
“LAN was great with my young Labradoodle. He stayed with her for two weeks while I was out of the country. She put my mind at ease by sharing pictures and videos of him playing with her dog Lucy. He seemed very comfortable and well cared for with her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Brenda and her family were great hosts! Really nice to work with with two super sweet and well-behaved dogs of their own. My dog has become little shy recently around other dogs but I felt like she was in great hands while I was gone.”
“I asked Barbara to babysit for the first time and it went great. She gave updates and pictures. I really appreciated this. I will definitely be asking Barbara for future babysitting gigs!”
“Stephanie was amazing!!! We have never left Bella overnight except with family. This was a first. Stephanie sent pics everyday and took wonderful care of our sweet girl. I cant express how pleased we were with her.”
“Angela was so amazing for the more than two weeks Zeke was with her!! She sent me updates and photos everyday and was so quick to reply whenever I messaged! It felt amazing going away and knowing that he was safe and loved and well taken care of!”
“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!”
“Stacey took such great care of our Tucker while we were on spring break. She was flexible and communicated with us throughout the week. I would highly recommended her and will have her watch our dog again soon.”
“Cindy and her daughter were very easy-going and flexible. The dogs settled in right away - I could tell they were all going to get along just fine! Will definitely request a stay with them in the future when needed.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Prior Lake
We had a great experience with Lonni & Steven! Their home was so nice and clean, and they were both so loving and welcoming. Communication was easy, and we loved getting pictures of our pup while we were away. They even put up with our dog’s funny habit of climbing up and sitting on the backs of their recliners! 😂 We really appreciated how well they cared for our pup and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great sitter!
Shelby was fantastic! We found ourselves without a sitter 5 days before leaving on a road-trip and she arranged a meet and greet and we left Sebastian with her three days later! She is warm and kind and all that she shares in her profile is truly what she embodies. The first time we went to meet her we got within a mile of her house and Sebastian started getting so excited that he couldn’t bound out of the car soon enough after pulling into her driveway. I know it sounds crazy but somehow he knew that Shelby’s house is where he wanted to be. Daily walks, a big fenced in yard, and kind people to love on him when we were away. And we got sweet pics and videos letting us know he was doing well. So thankful to have found Shelby. 💛 Thank you, Shelby! - Michele (Sebastian’s mom and Greg’s wife)
Charles and Diana made our pup feel right at home! They took great care of her, took her for walks, and kept us updated with good communication. I would absolutely trust them with our pup again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for caring dog sitters!
I highly recommend Shelley. She took great care of our 10 1/2 month old puppy Marlowe. He was able to socialize with other dogs and I received pictures and updates while he was in her care. She gave him a bath because it rained on their walk. Shelley styled him with a crocheted bandana and he look so cute. When we came home he behaved as if we had been gone for an afternoon instead of 4 days. Which I think is the best evidence of excellent care. Thank you Shelley!

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Prior Lake 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 Prior Lake 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 Prior Lake.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Prior Lake. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Prior Lake 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
