“I’m so grateful that we found Aish and her family to care for our Bailey while we traveled. She’s extremely responsive to messages and we loved getting pictures of Bailey while we were gone. We will definitely be returning in the future , knowing that our pup is in good hands while we are away.”
“First timer to Rover and it went great. Were able to have a separate meet time to make sure our dog got along with Chelsie’s dogs and that made our stay better. Chelsie sent a few pics each day which we appreciated and I am grateful to have been able to leave our dog Pippa in a home environment! Great experience-”
“Leaving my two Aussie ladies with this family was an easy decision. They were very responsive, sent photos and updates, and let my young Aussie sleep with them. Their dog also played so well with the young Aussie!!”
“Vanessa and Michael and their daughters did a wonderful job of caring for our dog Pippa, who is slightly more than a year old. They sent regular photos of her showing daily activities and how they interacted with her. They showed her a great deal of affection. Pippa came home happy and more grown up than when she left. We are very pleased.”
“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!!”
“Dusty stayed with Lynne for 3 nights and came home happy and healthy. Lynne sent daily pictures with a message, so I knew Dusty was being loved just like at home. She even invited him back! Will be going back soon. Thanks Lynne.”
“Great sitters, nice family. Our dogs had a great time there and immediately fell asleep when they got home after all the play time. Will be booking again with Liana and Dan in the future.”
“Morgan and Jordan once again did a wonderful job taking care of our Gracie. It helps me so much to know she’s happy and well cared for. I highly recommend their loving care!”
“Angela was a perfect choice for boarding my 2 dogs!! I couldn’t be happier, she was so comfortable with my dogs and they with her. It was so great that I found someone so compassionate with dogs! She has a huge back yard which my dogs loved . She is so good about communicating with me sending me pictures. I don’t have to look any further for someone to board my dogs! She is more than perfect. Angela was so good with our dog Tank who is very cautious around people. We will be using Angela for all our boarding! Thank you Angie from my husband and I and Tank and Zoey! We look forward to seeing you again!”
“Peg and Greg are the absolute best! I trust them with our senior dog anytime. Their communications and pictures are top notch. They are genuinely caring people and I know my dog is well cared for and loved while we are gone.”
“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!”
“Diane and Steve, thank you so much for taking care of our doggies! They came home, happy, calm and content. The photos you sent while they were at your house were so reassuring. They looked incredibly relaxed at your home. We will definitely be rebooking with you in the future! Thank you again.”
“Sean was great! Sent us a couple of videos of our dog playing and running around in his big fenced in yard! We could tell he genuinely cares for our pet as if it were his own. Will definitely book with Sean again!”
“Dee is the best! She takes great care of our little Luna. She is the only sitter we want to use. She sends us pics throughout the stay which is so nice to see too. I can tell Luna loves staying with her 😎”
“Jerad and Kali's family was wonderful. They sent us photos and videos throughout our dog's stay, which made us feel at ease. Our pup looked so happy and comfortable with them. After two weeks, we joked that she might not want to come home because she was having such a good time. We highly recommend them and will definitely book with them again.”
“Trudy took amazing care of my dog overnight. She was responsive and professional. I appreciated the photo and video updates she sent me while I was away, keeping me connected. Her dog, Archie, was a perfect playmate for my Charlie. This was my first experience using a Rover professional and thanks to Trudy and Archie I drove away with peace of mind that my Charlie was in for a safe and fun over night. I highly recommend Trudy to all seeking pet care. Thank you Trudy!”
“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!”
“Alka and Rajeev were outstanding caretakers with our very nervous golden retriever. They were so gentle and patient with her while she got acclimated and even walked her out back each potty when she wouldn’t do the deck steps alone. My dog ended up having a great week- seeing the videos of them playing fetch with sticks in the vast and fenced backyard, my dog happily parading her stick around, tail wagging, made us relieved and happy. Excellent caretakers! We will definitely use them again!”

Allison was a great caregiver for my two pups! Excellent communication, asked good questions at our meet & greet and shared many photos & updates. She clearly made my dogs feel comfortable in her home and they had a great time! I look forward to working with Allison again!
I have a giant breed dog who is relatively sensitive to his environment and he LOVED staying with Tracy for boarding! I've never seen him so immediately comfortable in a sitter's home before. Her dogs are playful and sweet and she and her husband took amazing care of Townes. I would recommend her to anybody!
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!
Morgan and Jordan were very kind to our dog, Lucius, treating him like family. They gave him plenty of snuggles and kept us updated with photos. Their fenced in backyard is a bonus since we don’t have one. Their dogs are sweet and accepting of other dogs. We would definitely request to book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Apple Valley on Rover is $38.85 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 2,474 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Apple Valley. 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.
94% of Apple Valley 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 Apple Valley 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 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.
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 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.
