“What a blessing Trace is! Her place couldn't be better suited for dog care. A huge fenced in yard front pirch & dog run. She also has 4 Basset hounds!! Lily took immediate attention to Teddy. Such a wonderful time she had.She is so kind, knowledgeable and detailed oriented. My 3 mo Great Pyrenees...Lily Lu felt right @ home. Didn't even look back at me to say goodbye! I have her on speed dial and looking forward to many outings to her home for Lily Lu! She's the best!! So is her grandson, Evan!”
“Marina took good care of our pets and we could tell that she is definitely a dog person. We saw that both dogs were enjoying their cuddles in the picture we received. We are rarely separated from them, so it was nice to have no worries. Marina’s home is lovely and well equipped with pet toys and a feeding station. We noticed the surrounding grounds were nice for walking the dogs. We will rebook should the need arise.”
“Daniela watched my 4 month old puppy and I couldn’t be happier! She was extremely responsive when we reached out to her and continued communication with us the whole time! I got updates throughout everyday with pictures and messages on how my pup was doing! Even sent us home with some more treats and a bone! Will definitely be coming back to her!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I had an excellent experience. I was initially nervous, as was my dog, but the entire process went smoothly. I received regular updates and photos throughout her stay, which gave me great peace of mind knowing she was being well cared for. Communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring. Bethany and her family were super nice and friendly, and I will definitely be using them again. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I truly appreciate the level of care and attention provided.”
“Marlene took such great care of our dog. She absolutely loves dogs and treated her as a member of her family. We were kept up to date on our dog’s day-to-day along with pictures. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Robert was the BEST Rover we have ever had!!! I cannot recommend him enough 😃 Our dog, Archie, had a great time staying with him and got lots of love, attention, and walkies 🐾 Robert sent such fun updates, pictures, and videos that we loved getting and made us smile so much while away from our little guy 🤍 We will definitely be booking with him anytime we need to board Archie again in the future. I would give him 10 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Ramanda and her daughters were wonderful and took great care of my 4mo old puppy! They walked him, played with him and made him feel at home just like he was their dog. We will definitely ask them for care in the future!”
“Karen is one of the kindest, most caring people I've come across in a long time. After an issue with my previous boarding reservation, I found Karen the night before my trip, and she took both of my dogs with less than 12 hours' notice. While I was away, she sent consistent updates and photos. She spoiled them with long walks, treats, toys, and plenty of cuddles. It was clear she treated them like part of her own family. When I picked them up, they almost seemed sad to leave! They came home more relaxed and happy than I've ever seen them after a trip. I'd give her 6 stars if I could. Highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a kind, loving sitter for their pets.”
“Joayne always takes great care of our dog. It’s so nice to not stress while we’re away since we know he’s in good hands with Joayne. Our dog loves when he goes to her place too!”
“Winnie always has the best time with Kiirsten! Winnie cries with excitement when we get close enough to Kiirsten’s house for her to know where we’re going. Kiirsten is wonderful to work with and can’t wait to use her again!”
“Wow! My little Luna had the pleasure of staying with Betsy for a quick last minute overnight, and she had such a great time! Betsy sent me updates and made sure Luna felt right at home during her stay. Luna is a little shy and timid with people she doesn’t know, but warmed right up to Betsy. She was able to accommodate my last minute need for a dog sitter, and I truly appreciate that. Luna will be so excited to visit Betsy again! :)”
“Tanya is not only a fun spirited person, she is so sweet with dogs. I highly recommend her - she’s extremely flexible and a great communicator. She took care of our Maltese and sent pictures so we could stay connected to our pooch.”
“Yuri was friendly, flexible, communicative, and took good care of our dog for the day. His young son was also respectful of our dog. We were very pleased.”
“Judy was great for our dog Willow. Willow very quickly took to Judy and Judy made her feel at home quickly. We really appreciate the regular communication and pictures we got while out of town. Willow came home happy and healthy and we would use Judy again.”
“Best dog sitter ever! My two dogs loved their time here. She took them to the dog park plenty of times, reached out with concerns and provided pictures and videos. I would love to leave them with her anytime I need to!”
“Twice now Dee Dee has watched my 2 dogs and she is absolutely wonderful! The dogs are well cared for and watched, definitely given the attention we all want our pups to have, and Dee Dee does a great job on sending updated photos, which I find great! I definitely recommend her services!”
“What a nice lovely couple! Very prompt with responses and updates. We left our two pups here and they were well loved. Huge gigantic backyard for pups to run around. Genuinely dog loving folks. Will definitely hope to use again!”
“Susan and Craig were great with our pups! They asked detailed questions at the meet and greet, and listened to any instructions we gave them. One of our dogs is very timid around new people and she even warmed up to them! Would highly recommend!”
“We are repeat customers of Jen’s because she always does such a good job with our dog, Lenny! She is aware of all the dogs’ quirks, gives them ample play time, and even adds in extras- like pupsicles!”

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience for Zoro! This was a last-minute booking, and I’m so grateful they were able to accommodate us. Being his first time staying overnight somewhere, I was naturally a little nervous leaving him, but they made the whole experience so much easier. The kiddos were so excited to meet him and were interacting with him the second he walked through the door. It was so sweet to see how welcomed and loved he was right from the start! Their dog, Honey, is an absolute sweetheart, too, and so friendly! It was clear that Zoro was in a home full of love, and they treated him like one of their own. The pictures and updates they sent throughout his stay meant so much to me and gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and being so well taken care of. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and that’s exactly the feeling I got from this family. I’m so grateful they made Zoro’s first boarding experience such a positive one. Finding people you can trust with your fur babies is priceless, and I truly feel like we’ve found our people! I’ll absolutely be establishing a relationship with them for all of Zoro’s future boarding needs. I wouldn’t want him staying anywhere else. Thank you all for loving on my boy! ❤️
Andrew was a rock star! We left our very active pup in his care for 10 days, and he did an outstanding job. He made sure she got plenty of exercise, gave her lots of attention, and took great care of her overall. Andrew also kept us updated with messages and photos throughout her stay, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. We returned home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and would not hesitate to trust Andrew with her again. Highly recommend!
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!
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!!
Another five star review for Jess! She took such great care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. Our dog always has the best time with Jess and her sweet puppy, Penny. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in a loving home where she’s happy, comfortable, and well cared for. And we really appreciate the updates Jess provides throughout the stay. Highly recommend!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Shakopee is $46 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $58 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 2,504 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Shakopee. About 91% of Shakopee sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
