“Frank and Clarissa were amazing. They sent us pictures, let us know how our dog was doing and kept us at ease. Our dog can be a little shy when he first meets people and they made him feel like part of their family. Highly recommend!”
“Toby was well taken care of by Beth. He enjoyed her other dogs! She sent a video of Toby playing with one of her dogs and she also sent a couple of pictures which I really appreciated! All together it was a very good experience for Toby and me!”
“First time using Rover, was in a bind and Brandi came through. Oakley loved it and felt at home with their family right away. She sent pictures and updates on how he’s doing. Very good and strongly recommended, if you’re in Carver, even a plus because Oakley does nothing like long car ride. Thank you Brandi...”
“Mochi spent a full week with Carine and her family, and it went very well. Communication was excellent - Carine was attentive to all the details we shared and very responsive via text. We received updates throughout each day and during our trip, which we really appreciated. My kids loved seeing photos and updates of Mochi playing and cuddling with her kids. He was truly treated like one of their own, and it was clear how much he was loved, he will genuinely be missed by their family. Carine was also thoughtful about managing energy levels when another dog was staying at the same time and always checked in first. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mochi in her care and would absolutely use her again.”
“This was my first time to leave my furbaby with someone other than family and I have to say I am highly happy with Andrew and his daughters. Tater came home happy and seemed to have a good time. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy!!!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Vanessa and Andrew’s family. I got a bunch of pictures, great communication and a happy dog when I picked her up. We will be back soon! Thank you!!”
“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!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. With many years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. In 2019, I completed pet training courses to better understand animal behavior and puppy training. I'm experienced with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. Whether your pet loves long walks, exploring local dog parks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with plenty of cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your furry family member is receiving dependable, loving care in an environment where every pet feels like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home three days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday), which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and walks throughout the day. On the two days I work in the office (Monday and Thursday), my fiancé and son are home by midday to check on our furry friends, give them attention, let them outside, and make sure they're comfortable. This means pets are never left alone for more than a few hours at a time. Our weekends are typically spent at home, giving us even more time for walks, playtime, trips to the dog park (if your pup enjoys them), and lots of love and affection. I strive to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. My home features a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Inside, I have plenty of toys, cozy spaces to relax, and a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can feel right at home. I also live in a friendly, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for daily walks and outdoor enrichment. If your dog enjoys socializing and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to take them to local dog parks for extra exercise and fun. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their regular routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and care I'd give my own.
“John and Gretchen love Kirby as if he was their own pup! This visit he had a skin allergy flare up and they took excellent care of him, delivering his meds with love. Thanks again!”
“Brittany took great care of our dog while we were on a two week vacation! She was a responsive communicator and followed instructions to care for our dog. She also sent pictures and updates. We will definitely use Brittany again!”
“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!”
“I appreciated the way Shelby stayed in contact with me over the weekend and the TLC my dog received while in her care. Shelby was attentive to the hot temps outside and adjusted schedules accordingly to keep the dogs safe. Which I appreciated! I knew he was in good hands.”
“So grateful our Dane puppy got to stay with Steve and Diane while we were away for 8 days. It was clear he had a great time and they were super communicative and sent photos. They were also flexible when our flight got delayed and we had to push back a day.”
“Stacey was such a GREAT FIND. We were extremely happy with the care our Sasha received. We received photos of our little Sasha and updates almost daily. She cared for her as if her own. I will certainly reach out again for future trips.”
“Dee was the perfect caregiver for our pet. She treated our dog like family. She sent daily pictures and updates, they went on walks and enjoyed visits and attention from Dee's family members. Would definitely recommend and would book again.”
“Aish was wonderful. Answered all my questions. Sent lots of pictures. My puppy had a great time. Felt much better going on vacation knowing she was loved and cared for.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shakopee
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.
