“Mark and Marie did a wonderful job getting our old girl Sasha to feel comfortable and safe. I had never left her with anyone but family before so I was worried until our first meet and greet. She was so comfortable right from the start. The pictures they sent while we were gone showed she had a great time! We will definitely use them in the future.”
“They took such good care of Morgan, we were very anxious about leaving her, she's never been away. They sent me pictures to let me know she was doing well. Thank you so so much!”
“Alexandra did a wonderful job. Very responsive to text messages and provided daily updates. Her residence has plenty of space for dogs to run and have fun. Definitely going to book with her next time we need a sitter. I felt very comfortable that our dog was in good hands.”
“The care and understanding of our dog and helping her acclimate to their home was outstanding in every way. Was given time to be a part of the family and enjoy being part of their 'pack'. The messages and images helped us know about how she was doing during her stay. She would go back in an instant.”
“Talisha did great with our dog Edie! She helped her feel comfortable and clearly gave her lots of love. Edie seemed happy from the picture and message updates we received. We would highly recommend Talisha to anyone who needs care!”
“Elizabeth and Eric are dog people! I doubt you can find a dog they don't love. They made my hyper active lab mix very happy. We appreciate them and will return if needed”
“Tammy and her husband were wonderful dog sitters for my two miniature schnauzers! It was a “staycation” beyond compare. They loved romping in the lovely fenced in back yard and were lucky to receive 100 percent of their love and attention, with Tammy having her “one customer at a time only” rule. I received lots of happy pictures of my dogs enjoying their time and getting lots of snuggles. Tammy was super at her communication and I so appreciate her understanding when we got stuck in traffic on the way back from our trip. The dogs were in great shape and quite content when we arrived for pickup. All of their gear and food was thoughtfully packed and ready to go. Thanks so much Tammy for your professional care and kindness ~ the girls will be excited to return!😁☺️”
“Everything about this stay was fantastic! Cate and Tim were VERY accommodating and took really good care of our Sadie. The yard and home are set up for dogs to be safe and have fun. Cate is super responsive and flexible. Sadie enjoyed hanging out with their nice family and very friendly family pet. Thanks Cate!”
“Our dog, Bauer, seems to have so much fun and is very comfortable at Anna's home. She takes great care of him and sends lots of pictures so we can see what he's up to.”
“Daisy practically doesn’t want to come home with me after staying with Patti and Patrick! They’re in demand for a reason. I love when she stays with them because I know she’ll be well taken care of and have her own vacation while I’m out of town!”
“Buddy enjoyed his stay! Great fenced in yard to run and play with the other dogs. We appreciated getting pictures and updates while we were away. Buddy came home ready to nap after having so much fun! Will definitely stay again. Thank you! Carrie & Dan”
“Candace & Jeremy were absolutely wonderful! Out dog, mikko, is a little anxious and higher energy being a Aussie but he did great and seemed to loved his time with them. We will absolutely be repeat clients of theirs and recommend them 10/10! Thank you both!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Lisa was amazing!! She was quick to respond to any questions I had and sent pictures and updates during Daisy's stay. I will for sure reach out to Lisa again!!”
“Our 2 dachshunds loved spending the weekend with Kayla! They are exhausted from having so much fun! GREAT communication, lots of photos and videos and they have the cutest pup who welcomed us with excitement to meet new friends! We’ll be using them every time we are in town!”
“This is our first time using Rover and it could not have gone better! Brock and Laura were so nice, understanding, and supportive. We got multiple updates to reassure us, the dogs got so many walks - rain or shine. I will definitely be using them again!!!”
“This was Bruno’s first weekend with Michelle, after a successful meet and greet. We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures. Bruno had a good time and made some new friends. We plan on using Michelle again.”
“There aren't enough words to describe how awesome Rebekah and her family were to our little pup while we were on vacation. From the daily updates, to making her feel like a part of their family, they truly were amazing every step of the way. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing boarding”
“Jackie took great care of our dog! She sent updates and photos which I appreciated! She provides lots of walks and playtime in the large fenced backyard! Thanks for taking such good care of him!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shafer on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 470 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shafer. 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.
89% of Shafer 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 Shafer 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 Shafer 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 Shafer.
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 Shafer 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.
