“Shelby went above and beyond for our baby Oakley while he stayed with her! I had never used Roger before so was naturally a little worried, but she made this experience really great for us! She made sure he got lots of dog park time and exercise and always sent us adorable pictures of his time with her. I would highly recommend Shelby to any dog parents out there looking for a loving, fun, and friendly place to leave their pup! I can tell Oakley had the time of his life!”
“Katie was awesome. We’ve never left our four-year-old English bulldog with anyone other than family before, but Katie made us feel safe, comforted and provided tons of fast and effective communication. I’ll happily be using Katie again in the future!”
“Hank loved his time here. I didn’t have a worry about him because I knew when I pulled up to drop him off that Shelley’s home was going to be a great fit. 10/10 recommend to anyone!”
“Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.”
“Chelsie was an awesome dog sitter. She watched our two dogs and sent many updates throughout their stay. She was also very accommodating to our schedule. We would definitely have her watch our dogs again!”
“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“This is our 3rd time with Liss. She is so calm and attentive to my little dog, which is just what my dog needs. My dog is very attached to me and has had some negative separation experiences. But with Liss she seems very comfortable and that gives me peace of mind when I travel. I also like that she doesn’t have a whole pack of dogs at any one time and she only takes small dogs, as my dog wouldn’t do great in a big pack environment. Also, I really appreciate that she lets Ellie sleep with her. That definitely works well for Ellie and I think it is part of the successful separation.”
“Thank you SO MUCH for taking such excellent care of Mocha!! She came home happy and tired which is a great sign for a busy 6 month old puppy! She loved her vacation and hopes she can come back again for another stay!”
“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”
“Carine, Eric & Family were absolutely wonderful! They went above and beyond to accommodate our dog’s additional needs (high separation anxiety) and adjusted their schedules to ensure someone would always be with her during the duration of her stay. The kids were so sweet with her and she has the best time playing and then soaking up all of the extra snuggles once she was tired out. We received lots of updates and pictures throughout her stay, which we very much appreciated! I would HIGHLY recommend Carine & Eric and we will absolutely be booking with them again the next time we need someone to care for our dog!”
“Brooke took great care of our senior dog Freya over the weekend. Communication was fast, and Brooke was easygoing and flexible. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again.”
“Brittany and her husband were GREAT!! She watched our dog Tucker for a few days while we were moving. She kept us up to date on how he was doing, and followed all of our instructions caring for him. We really appreciated her flexibility in timing dropping him off and picking him up - we unexpectedly needed to extend our booking an extra night, and was happy to accommodate this last-minute. I recommend Brittany without reservation - we'll definitely be re-booking in the future!”
“Winnie always has the best time with Kiirsten! Winnie cries with excitement when we get close enough to Kiirsten’s house for her to know where we’re going. Kiirsten is wonderful to work with and can’t wait to use her again!”
“Kristen and her family were great!!! She was unable to take our dog for the first two nights of our vacation, so she work out a stay with her sister and we could not be more happy and comfortable with their care for our 14 yr old pup!!”
“Robert took excellent care of my two dogs, Edie and Puppy. He even sent me a group photo of him with my dogs sitting in his lap, and they seemed to really like him. I was a little nervous about having him watch my dogs because he didn’t have many reviews, but after meeting him for the first time, my husband and I felt very confident he would take good care of them. He’s a genuinely nice guy who actively listened to what I had to say about my dogs, took notes, and asked questions. He kept me updated with texts and pictures showing how my dogs were doing, which made me feel at ease. My dogs clearly liked Robert, and they even personally said goodbye to him. I would strongly recommend Robert to any pet owner and would gladly use him again in the future. He will be my first choice for Edie and Puppy.”
“Wow!! I am sooooi glad I found Lexi and her family. Its not always easy to trust basically a stranger to watch your did, especially when he’s like a child to you but I’m so glad I did. Pictures and updates everyday, and a wore out little man getting home!! Thank you Lexi and family!! Murphy looks forward to seeing you again!! ❤️❤️”
“Dusty stayed with Lynne for 3 nights and came home happy and healthy. Lynne sent daily pictures with a message, so I knew Dusty was being loved just like at home. She even invited him back! Will be going back soon. Thanks Lynne.”
“I could not be more pleased then I am with Shayla and my experience of boarding our Morkie with her and her family! Charlie was so well-cared for and seemed to love his experience at her fun/busy home. I received regular updates from Shayla which helped me to feel at ease since I had never left him with anyone. Also, the cute photos she sent assured me that he was having a great time and he was tuckered out from all of the fun he had too! ?”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Prior Lake
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Prior Lake is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $60 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 2,392 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Prior Lake. 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 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, 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.
<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 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 , 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.
