“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.”

“Brenna was a great communicator and our Frenchie appeared very comfortable at her house. We enjoyed our vacation more knowing he was being cared for in a dog loving home, instead of at a kennel. Thank you Brenna!”

“Great family and great experience. We had a last minute need and Carine and Eric were very accommodating, sent lots of updates, and we can tell our dog was safe and well taken care of.”

“Archie had a great stay with Andrew! It was Archie’s first visit and he was immediately welcomed by the family. Andrew was very good with communication and included fun pictures of Archie during his stay. We will definitely re-book! Thank you!”

“This was the first time I was away from Sealgair. And every time I checked in and every time we texted Brandi was right there. Any update or just a little picture to say hi, Brandi took care of my little baby. And if I ever go away again and have to leave him, I'm leaving him with no other. Thank you Brandi.”

“The fact that my extremely anxious dog did not immediately run to the door when I arrived for pick up tells me everything I need to know about how well she was cared for. She found herself a second family in the span of 3 days!!!”

“We left our dog with Brittney for a full week while we were on vacation. It was our first experience with Rover and we were beyond pleased with our experience and the care Pippa received! We will absolutely be choosing Brittney again for future dog sitting needs we have.”

“John and Gretchen were ideal hosts for Charlie. They gave her lots of exercise and treats and treated her like their own. I would not hesitate using them again in the future!”

“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!”

“Kristen and family were fantastic with our (almost) 7 year old Goldendoodle. She shared a few pictures while we were away and it's instantly clear they treated our dog as if she had been with the family her entire life. Can't recommend enough!”

“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!”

“Steven and Diane took amazing care of our dogs! We were able to drop the dogs off a day early due to our flight being changed and everything went super smooth! They sent us updates and photos through the week as well. We will 100% book again!”

“Stacey was absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time leaving Rocky and he did really well. Stacey kept me informed daily and sent pictures. She did such a great job with my furbaby. There is absolutely no doubt that I would use her services again. Stacey will take care of your pet as if it were her own. I would give her 10 stars if I could.”

“Dee provided my dog with the best care while boarding her. She sent me pics and let me know how she was doing which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Dee to anyone looking for dog care. She is the greatest!”

“Catherine was absolutely wonderful! This was Zuri's first time staying away from home and Catherine went above and beyond to make her feel at home. Catherine sent daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated, and lots of special treats and special love were given. Zuri also enjoyed having another dog to play with, as she is an only child. I would highly recommend Catherine and will definitely use her again.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Kimberly & John! Great communication and we loved all the pictures of Oakley having fun while we were gone. He seemed to fit right in and was so well loved. We'll be booking again!”

Stephanie is wonderful! I really appreciated her communication skills—she was always quick to reply and kept us updated. It was clear that our dog had a great time staying at her house for 7 nights. She even came home brushed better than how I sent her, which is saying a lot considering our dog has a thick, curly coat! The pickup and drop-off went smoothly, and Stephanie was so thoughtful about letting us come over a few times before our trip so Khola could get familiar with her home. That really helped us feel comfortable leaving her. We will definitely reach out to Stephanie again the next time we need an amazing, compassionate pet sitter. We highly recommend her!

Highly recommend Katie and Zach for dog sitting!! We have gone through them several times over the past 5 years for various trips and most recently for a 2wk vacation. They have done an excellent job watching our 16lb 10yr old jack Russell mix. She always leaves just as happy as when she arrived and we get lots of pictures and updates which always makes leaving her behind easier.

Jenn is amazing! She was there when another Rover sitter canceled on us a week before we were scheduled to go on vacation. She communicates extremely well and sent us a couple of photos while we were away. Thank you Jenn! We greatly appreciate your caring for our dog! <3

As always, Sarah is the best. She has love our dogs like they were her own. She sends frequent updates and photos to let us know how our girl is doing. She was wonderful in introducing Woody to our Sweet P and I had every confidence that Sarah was the right one to help socialize our puppy. Sarah is calm and knowledgeable and she is our #1 for our Twin Cities sitting needs!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shakopee on Rover is $46.62 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 2,456 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shakopee. 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 Shakopee 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 Shakopee 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 Shakopee 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 Shakopee.
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 Shakopee 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.
