“We had a great experience with Elizabeth! Our dog seemed relaxed and happy when we picked him up, and it was clear that he was very well cared for. Elizabeth was also very communicative and sent multiple updates throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Would definitely book again!”

“Wonderful family! Needed help watching our dog for 1.5 days over the Memorial Day weekend with less than a week to go and Erin and Brandon sure helped out! Communication was great throughout and even before the stay! Our anxious pup seemed at ease with everyone in the family from first meet and I could tell she was being well taken care of just from the pics. Everything about the stay was easy and I already told them that I’d be requesting them again in the near future!”

“Very thankful to have stumbled across Kyle’s Rover page. He and his family are all incredibly sweet and adore animals. I think their young boys, especially, did an excellent job tackling Rio’s border collie energy. Rio was also able to play with Kyles’ family dog and another boarding dog during his stay. Kyle was a reliable communicator and flexible with me when my travel plans changed. I appreciated that he sent me daily updates and pictures while I was away. Hope to book with him again!”

“I gave Tyler 5 stars, for a couple of reasons: he was easy to work with as I set up a 10-day boarding for two dogs, a 3-year-old and a 9-year-old. That's a long stretch, I realize. And the dogs initially seemed fine when we picked them up. I did find it curious, however, that the dog food I left had barely been used. And he had lost a package of glucosamine-chondroitin I'd left for the 9-year-old. After my first take that the dogs looked okay and were happy to see me, I realized how thin the 9-year-old had become: bony back and hips. She had lost quite a bit of weight, 10 pounds? These are goldens. After eating one meal the 9-year-old stopped eating for two days, until I found a food she couldn't resist. Is this on Tyler? All I can say is I wonder, and we would likely not use him again. We never did see inside his house, which is very nice on the outside, by the way, with a nice yard, so it's hard to know how he handles boarding. He did not know the older dog's name when we picked them up. My take is he handled the business end very competently, but I'm not sure how diligent he was in taking care of the dogs. The 3-year-old came home fine.”

“WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! Jennifer and Scott went above and beyond!! We were warmly greeted and assured that she was in good hands. We felt confident that we had made a good choice, but wanted to see what the communication was like. It was BETTER than any of the other 6 sitters we have had on Rover!! The pictures showed her multiple times running in their backyard (you could tell she was so happy), sticking her little head through their deck railings, pictures of her chilling, cuddling, and soundly sleeping. She is not exhibiting any signs of being away from us. We will ALWAYS check with Jennifer and Scott FIRST from now on!! We found the PERFECT fit!! Could not recommend any higher!!!”

About: Plenty of attention and affection to give you four-legged family member. Quiet, gravel road walks and giant yard to play in. Or comfortable space for R&R. Either way, or both, your pet will be right at home! An adult is home during most hours of the day. Evenings, older kids will be home as well. Outside time in all weather is important to our family. Your pet would be the only animal in the home. We have an indoor/outdoor cat that will surely prefer outdoor during dog boarding:) Able to accommodate different feeding schedules. Your pet will have outdoor time multiple times per day. No fenced in areas.

Although it was only a night, we were able to have peace of mind that they were being well loved and taken care of. We got lots of updates and pictures and are very happy we chose Dondee to watch our girls.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and understand the special bond that forms between a pet and their owner. I will give them the same time, love, and affection you would at home and that they deserve! I work out of the house a few days a week and when I’m not working, I like to stay home with my pup, Leo. We enjoy walks, throwing the ball our fenced-in backyard, or hanging out on the couch. I have a fenced in yard and a very loving 5 year old golden retriever, Leo, to keep your doggo company. If your dog loves to play, Leo will happily entertain. But if they are more relaxed, Leo will happily enjoy their company from afar.

About: I’ve always been a dog person! I grew up with two Cockapoos who I absolutely adored, so dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve also loved dog sitting for family and friends over the years and getting to know all of their different personalities. During my first year of masters school, I rescued my sweet Goldendoodle, Lovey. She was 6 at the time and is now 9, and she has brought me more joy than I could ever put into words. She is truly my best friend and has made me even more of a dog lover! I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else, so I want every dog I care for to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and of course, get lots of cuddles and attention! I work full-time as a mental health therapist at a school, so my typical work hours are 7:30 AM–3:30 PM. During the workday, I’m still able to let dogs out before work, during my lunch break, and right after work. Once I’m off for the day, I’m pretty flexible and happy to work around your pup’s needs! Whether that means going for a walk, taking a car ride, getting some extra playtime in, or just hanging out and getting lots of cuddles, I’m happy to make it work. Your pup will be treated like family while they’re with me! I live in a cozy apartment with my sweet Goldendoodle, Lovey, and we have access to a fenced in dog area where your pup can safely run around and get some energy out. I have plenty of toys, treats, and lots of love to go around! I’m also happy to follow whatever routine your pup is used to and can accommodate their individual needs as much as possible. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, snuggle on the couch, or just have a quiet place to relax, I’m happy to make them feel right at home. My biggest goal is for you to feel comfortable and confident knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love while you’re away

“Andrew was amazing with cloud and took great care of him. We were traveling and its always difficult to leave your fur baby behind but Andrew made sure to send us so many pictures of all the fun they had every day. Honestly we were relieved to know that cloud was much loved and cared for while we were gone. Cloud loved his stay and would look forward to going back and spending time with Andrew and his lovely family the next time we need someone to carr for him. We will most definitely use Andrew's services again.”

About: I have a 11 month old puppy that I have started training and taking care of since 8 weeks old. I also talk him on regular walks, and bathe him. My oldest dog is almost 3 and I have also have had him since he was 8 weeks old. I have watched and walked other dogs for friends and family overnight and for extended periods. I could pet care in the summer almost every day, since I am a teacher. Some things may come up, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would prefer to care for pets in my home during the day to make the pet more comfortable. I am able to play with, feed, bathe, walk, etc. I have a fenced in backyard! I would love if you are ok with my 11 month aussiedoodle came with on walks or house sitting.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Rock Dell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 108 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rock Dell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

96% of sitters in Rock Dell 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 Rock Dell 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 Rock Dell.

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 Rock Dell. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 Rock Dell 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.
