“Another wonderful experience with Aish! Her family is loving and kind to our little guy. The daily photos were a great way for me to know how he was doing. Thank you so much!”
“Becky is fantastic! She always takes such good care of our boys and goes above and beyond. This time, she suspected one of our boys had some constipation issues, and she took the time to call Rover for tips, remedy the situation at home, and keep us updated. Our little guy ended up being just fine, and that peace of mind is priceless. We always know our boys will be loved and well cared for with Becky!”
“Vanessa and her family were great hosts for a quick overnight stay! We have a senior dog who’s a bit shy and apprehensive when away from home. Vanessa asked lots of questions during our meet & greet to get to know Bella to ensure she’d be comfortable. We got lots of pictures and updates throughout the day - so we knew she was in good hands while we were away.”
“Can’t say enough good things about Whitney. This is our second time using her for boarding and definitely wont be the last. Our frenchie loves being in the care of Whitney. It is such a relief for us having a boarder that put so much effort in taking care of animals and being close our house is definitely a plus.”
“Chelsie was an awesome dog sitter. She watched our two dogs and sent many updates throughout their stay. She was also very accommodating to our schedule. We would definitely have her watch our dogs again!”
“Marine was a great communicator from the moment I reached out! We ended up booking pretty last minute so we really appreciated Marine’s flexibility with the meet and greet and drop off and pick up times. We got daily updates and photos, everything was great! Thanks Marine and family!”
“Alka and Rajeev took great care of our pets. They had great communication with us and took cute pictures assuring us that our pets were being taken care of. Highly recommend them!”
“Angela was so easy to work with and kept me informed of the fun the pups were having. And the best part (besides how go with the flow she was) our dogs ate dog tired, which is very rare! 10/10 will book again!”
“Great care and service. Kept us informed over the five days our Bernedoodle PJ was there. Appreciated the updates and pictures she sent us. Our pup got along with their dog so it was like a little Summer Camp for Bernedoodles. Will definitely book wth them again when the need arises. Thanks so much!”
“Peg and Greg gave our elderly dog Finnegan lots of attention and kept us informed with photos and comments. Finnegan got to go on walks every day and was happy and calm when we picked him up. A great stay!”
“Another successful vacation for my family in the books! I couldn't have done it without Amy and Chris watching our fur baby Chewy. Amy is amazing! I love the updates she gives us and I know he's getting the same care as if he were at home. Our dogs get along great and I love that, makes for easy dog sitting. Thanks again Amy!”
“Katie and her family were amazing with our 8 month old puppy! They were very responsive and went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable with them— from a pre-trip phone call to sending us videos of our pup while we were gone. He came back very happy!!”
“Diane and Steven were wonderful with Scout. They sent photos and videos which my kids loved. Our dog fit right in. She really enjoyed staying there and getting to know their dogs for the week. She would definitely be willing to visit them again when we are away!”
“Elizabeth and her family are awesome! They always take care of Bullet and treats him like their own. Bullet always come home happy and excited! Highly recommended and would love to return in the future!”
“Eileen is the best!! A true dog lover! She sends the best pictures and did whatever she could to make make my baby comfortable. She treating my dog like her own. Couldn’t have been more reprieved and happy to find such a great sitter.”
“I typically book with a daycare center but due to the amount of time we would be gone, we feared he would suffer from anxiety and loneliness. So we decided to book with a home daycare to ensure he received more personal care. They did an awesome job with Jake. Seemingly, he was treated like their own with lots of cuddle time. They provided daily updates and included cute photos. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely use them again.”
“Our pup came home happy and well cared for. Kelly gave our dog enough exercise and even catered to our finicky eater. She was kind and treated our dog like her own! She also was easy to work with.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Apple Valley is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apple Valley
We had such a wonderful experience with Allison! Our dogs felt right at home with her and her pup from the moment they arrived. They had an amazing time playing, and she provided such attentive, loving care while keeping their specific needs and quirks in mind. We loved receiving all the fun pictures and adorable videos throughout the day, it was clear they were having the best time! We felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care and would book her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! 🙌🏻💛🌟
Our dogs love Angela! We have a 12 year old lab and a 4 year old lab (who never runs out of energy). This lab doesn't like daycares and gets anxious but she RUNNNSSS up to Angela's door when we go there. And Angela takes her running with her! It's bittersweet to leave a great review because she's earned it but I don't want to compete for her availability. 🤣
Vanessa and her daughters took such wonderful care of Cooper! ❤️ We made a last-minute reservation, and they were incredibly attentive to every detail, making sure he felt loved, comfortable, and happy. It was clear from the moment we met them how much they genuinely care for the pets they watch. I received pictures and updates throughout the day, along with notifications about everything they did, which gave me so much peace of mind. 🤗 Knowing Cooper was in such caring hands made all the difference. I am so thankful we found Vanessa and her family, and I would absolutely trust them with Cooper again. Highly recommend!

94% of sitters in Apple Valley 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 Apple Valley 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 Apple Valley.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Apple Valley 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.
