“⸻ I found Shelby K. on Rover, and this is the second time I’ve booked her to care for my 10-year-old dog, Marley. Once again, she did a fantastic job—taking Marley on multiple walks each day and sending plenty of photo updates that gave me such peace of mind. Marley always looks happy and relaxed with her, which says so much about Shelby’s caring and reliable nature. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and I feel very lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Shelby to anyone on Rover looking for a thoughtful, caring, dependable sitter!”
“Our pup came home happy and well cared for. Kelly gave our dog enough exercise and even catered to our finicky eater. She was kind and treated our dog like her own! She also was easy to work with.”
“Beth was great to work with. I have a high anxiety dog and it went much better than I hoped. Beth was calm and reassured me it would be fine and it was! It was nice to be able to enjoy my vacation and not spend it worrying about our dog.”
“Ann was amazing. She took care of our senior dog with some medical needs and aging and gave Louise exactly what she needed with such positive kindness. We got pictures and videos and felt like our sweet little old lady dog was truly in the best care during our trip. I will definitely use Ann again because she was incredible.”
“Chelsie was great, highly recommend!! She agreed to take my pup on short notice, was so kind and welcoming, and was amazing with my pup!! It was great as she sent daily updates and pictures. I will most definitely use her services again in the future!!”
“We were so thankful Dee was available to watch Hazel again this year so we could take a family vacation to California for the week 💕! Dee again was an excellent dog sitter who sent daily pics and updates and gave Hazel great care while we were gone. I swear our pup was sad to come home since she had such a good time! Thanks again for all you do, Dee! We appreciate you so much!!”
“Diane and Steven were wonderful with Scout. They sent photos and videos which my kids loved. Our dog fit right in. She really enjoyed staying there and getting to know their dogs for the week. She would definitely be willing to visit them again when we are away!”
“Aish and her family take good care of my two mini poodles: Lena and Moka. My puppies get to interact and play with other small dogs. They have a nice fenced backyard, free roam of the house, and they send pictures each day. Aish is very responsive to text msgs. In addition, Aish and her family like my dogs and …. my dogs like them in return 🐾❤️🐾 We have left our dogs with Aish three times now for long vacations (1-3 weeks) and we will look to them on them for future vacations. I definitely recommend Aish and her family for worry free pet sitting.”
“Our family trust Shelley with both doodles over extended periods of time and she consistently provides them with attention, exercise, and care. The dogs love going back to her. Highly recommended for extended stays!”
“I recently boarded my dog, Tyson with Margaret (Peg) and Greg for 11 days. I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment we walked in, it was clear that Peg and Greg prioritizes the comfort and well-being of my dog in their care. I received regular updates during Tyson’s stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he was in great hands. Tyson was clearly happy and well cared for, and when I picked him up, it was obvious that he had a great time there. Peg and Greg’s place is spacious, with plenty of areas for play and exercise. Tyson loves to run around, and he absolutely loved chasing squirrels there. And I was happy to hear that he had plenty of time outside, as well as relaxing downtime in a cozy space. I highly recommend Peg and Greg to any dog owner looking for a caring, reliable place to board their furry friend. I’ll definitely be bringing Tyson back the next time I need boarding services. Thanks Peg and Greg”
“Leslie was the best. We found her last minute after our dog sitter cancelled. She treated our dog like one of their own. So flexible, sent me great pics throughout the week. My dog was so well cared for and so loved. Highly recommend!”
“Lonnie and Steven were extremely welcoming and communicative during my dog Lucy's 1 week boarding stay. Lucy can be a little nervous, has anxiety around other dogs, and is picky eater, but they handled these challenges very well. I especially enjoyed getting pictures of her sitting with them on the couch and hanging out with them on the deck. They treated her like family. I highly recommend Lonni & Steven and would not hesitate to book with them again!”
“Alecia and Todd (and their family) were wonderful with mini-goldendoodle, Ole, for a week+ over the holidays. They took great care of him, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing that Ole would be loved (and be a part of family life) while we were gone.”
“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!”
“Leanna and her husband were great! Communication was great, meet and greet went well, and our dogs had a great time! She even sent us home with a little homemade doggy project she did with our boys ☺️ We will definitely use Leanna again!”
“Our pups had a great time and were well-taken care of during their 9 night stay. We are so thrilled to have found Denise and Michael to take care of our two little fluffballs! We will definitely book with Denise and Michael again.”

Rachel & Daniel became my fur-baby Skipper’s family while I was on vacation. They were wonderful loving/kind and very interactive with Skipper. I received many pictures-videos, and excellent communication from them. Skipper and I highly recommend them! Will rebook in the future.
We’ve had a great experience with Shelby! She had watched Galena before, and this time she also took care of Aspen, our 8 month old puppy. They had a wonderful time. She kept us updated with photos and videos, took them on walks, and gave them lots of attention and care. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again!
We were so happy with our experience having Ashley and Timothy take care of our dog, Patches. This is the first time we've had someone other than a family member watch her and we were able to relax on our vacation and not worry because we knew she was being taken care of. They provided photo updates which was great to see that she was enjoying her time. We would definitely reach out to Ashley and Timothy in the future if we needed someone to watch her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Prior Lake on Rover is $44.4 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 2,416 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 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.
95% of Prior Lake 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 Prior Lake 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 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.
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.
