“Nicole & David are fabulous! Our dog Brew loves going to their house for overnights. They are so kind, and it is very apparent that they are huge animal lovers and treat your pet like family during their stay.”
“They were amazing with Cooper! I feel so comfortable leaving him with them again. You can tell they really love dogs and they take care of their boarders like their own ❤️”
“Simon is GREAT! Not only did he take my last minute request, but he communicated the entire time! Simon sent pics and videos, which kept my mind at ease. Best of all, Muffin returned healthy and very happy! I could tell he had THE TIME OF HIS LIFE with Simon! Thank you, Sir, for taking such great care of my baby! We found the BEST sitter in the Twin Cities! Highly recommend!”
“Ashley was amazing! Juno is very shy and usually takes a long time to warm up to strangers. Ashley was very patient with her and provided a calm and supportive environment. She also took Juno on at least 1 long walk a day - if not two and had a fantastic birthday celebration for Juno with a hike and raw bone!!! I would go back to Ashley in a heartbeat. I also really appreciated her daily updates with photos of Juno so I knew she was doing well and having fun.”
“I have used Jenny and Mark twice now in the last month. Bost experiences have been easy and comfortable. I know they are taking good care of my dog and will continue to use them in the future.”
“Robert was the perfect host for Bambi she was so well taken care of and I had so much peace of mind with him. Thank you so much for taking care of my girl!”
“I’m so glad and thankful we met Aish in Rover . Aish and family took good care of Cloud. They send pics and videos throughout the day, and I’m at peace during our vacay knowing she’s well taken care off.”
“Dylan and his family were great to work with! They were flexible with pick up/drop off times and communicated very well. They sent pictures of Buddy every day and I came home to a happy boy.”
“Brittni, took wonderful care of my Westie, Dublin. An added bonus was Dublin got to hang with their Westie Benny, who is super cute and friendly. They have a lovely fenced in backyard, so the two dogs were able to play quite a bit. Dublin came home clean (Brittni gave her a bath!) and exhausted from all the fun she had! Thank you Brittni and family!”
“Zema loves going to Bethany's house! They spend ample time together going for walks & playing in the yard (weather permitted) and snuggles on the couch. Zema always comes home happy and tired 🙂”
About: As a dog lover, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand that every pup has their own personality, needs, and routine. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I love making sure dogs feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive, patient, and dependable, and I’ll always treat your dog like one of my own! I’m also happy to provide regular pictures and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in great hands while you’re away. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, but I have the flexibility to stop home during my lunch break for potty breaks, feeding, and some extra attention! I’m available on weekends for pet sitting, boarding, and walks, allowing me plenty of time to give your pets the love and care they deserve. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals and am happy to accommodate their individual routines and needs. Whether you’re heading out of town for the weekend or just need an extra helping hand, I’d love to help! I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in good hands! My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every pet feels happy and cared for. I understand that every animal has their own personality, preferences, and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel at ease. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m also happy to provide regular pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“For our first experience with boarding, LaKenya was a great place for my dog to stay. She was very professional and kind. We had an arrangement that I would pick my dog up a few times during our trip to St. Paul and she was very accommodating. The best thing was that with each drop off Sora was happy to be back with LaKenya! That's a good sign in my book. I would highly recommend her to anyone. There's no doubt in my mind that I will use her services again when we are in town.”
“Dana, her husband and their sweet dog Teddy were wonderful with Mia! They took such great care of her. They send updates and pictures and I could tell that my dog was having a great time playing with her new friend Teddy!”
“My dog Scout had the best weekend ever with Jessica, her husband, and their dog Cooper! They were incredibly accommodating with Scout’s needs, and even with my travel schedule when it got delayed. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Sunfish Lake is $45

James and Jennifer sent me a picture of Zoey laying on a bed. She looked so comfortable she may have thought that she was in a five star pet hotel. Not only did they take excellent care of Zoey, they made an accommodation for me because I made a mistake in my reservation. They are friendly and welcoming, and I had every confidence that they would take excellent care of my dog.
Jon is incredibly kind and patient; he did an amazing job caring for our dog. First, Jon gave us an opportunity for a meet and greet prior to boarding: he answered our questions, and our dog had a chance to get acclimated to his house and yard. Then, Jon provided daily reports with photos, and it was reassuring to see that our dog got plenty of fresh air and exercise, and great opportunities to rest. Our dog came home happy. We could not be more grateful for the excellent care our dog received while boarding with Jon. He really exceeded our expectations: 10 out of 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We’ve used Bethany twice and are very happy with how she handles our Gus. He’s in a great mood when we pick up. Communication during the stay is informative and helps keep our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sitter. Will book her again for our future needs.
Emily, Tim and family did a great job taking care of Nieve. It was a last minute booking and I was really appreciative of them stepping up. Solid communication especially when Nieve wasn’t feeling well and Emily had to provide some extra care. Thank you so much.
Angela did a great job with Yoda. The thunderstorms and fireworks made him a bit nervous, but Angela handled it well, and he did fine. She was very responsive, kept us updated with pictures, and was quite flexible and went out of her way to accommodate a change in our pickup plans. We would certainly have Yoda stay with her again.

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.
94% of sitters in Sunfish Lake 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 Sunfish Lake 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 Sunfish Lake.
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 Sunfish Lake. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Sunfish Lake 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.
