“Aish was great taking care of our dog for 3 days , she kept in touch with updates and photos and made sure he took his antibiotics that were a last minute prescription. I would recommend Aish and her family to all my friends and family. Thank you for everything Aish!”
“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!”
“Stanley did great with Becky M and so happy I used her to take care of him. He came home relaxed and happy. I will use her again and will recommend her to others. Thank you Becky and may God Bless you always, Katy McClure.”
“Alecia and Todd are fantastic. We were a little nervous because we’ve had varying degrees of success leaving our pup with a sitter, but Alecia, Todd, and their family took great care of him. They went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable - he even made new dog friends at their house😁. Communication was a breeze and we received thoughtful updates throughout our time away. Hope to book with Alecia and Todd again!🩵🩵”
“Vanessa was excellent! I could tell that she really enjoyed caring for my dog, including walking, playing (frisbee and toys), and cuddling with my affectionate dog. Communication was great, and I would highly recommend Vanessa. I hope to have her dogsit again in the future!”
“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!!”
“Sean and his family provided a perfect home away from home for our two poodles. He was very responsive and gave updates and pictures. I recommend booking with him and will be returning for future sitting needs!”
“Marine was an excellent choice to watch my pup. She sent pix of my pup, and Sophie appeared relaxed and comfortable in her home, and very relaxed when I picked her up. I will surely consider using Marine again in the future.”
“Elizabeth and her family were absolutely wonderful. Rose is typically shy around new people. however Rose took to Elizabeth right away. she felt right at home. I think rose is missing her new friends. Elizabeth sent pictures and you could see how happy rose was.”
“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.”
“Eileen is my secret to our pup staying happy and healthy while my family goes out of town on family trips and getaways. She sends us updates pics and videos daily to keep my family happy while we are away from our family fur baby. She is truly a find!”
“As always, Ollie loves going to hang out with Carrie and Mark! They are always so willing to take him for long periods of time and are great communicators. They take such great care of the dogs who come to visit, including Ollie ❤️”
“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.”
“This is our third time booking with Steve and Diane. We will return again and again. Our puppies are so happy and calm when they return home after a visit with Steve and Diane.”
“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.”
“Alka and Rajeev are very nice, and were very attentive to our dog. She got a walk in addition to enjoying their fenced in yard. We especially like that they only take one pet at a time. We’ve used them twice, and plan on using them again in the future.”
“Cindy did a great job with Vinny! We did a meet and greet beforehand and Vinny got to know her other 2 dogs. He came back super tired and had fun hanging with some new friends!”
“Ann was amazing. She took care of our senior dog with some medical needs and aging and gave Louise exactly what she needed with such positive kindness. We got pictures and videos and felt like our sweet little old lady dog was truly in the best care during our trip. I will definitely use Ann again because she was incredible.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apple Valley
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!
Cate was fantastic with our Morkie! She provided updates and pictures and worked to make sure everything was as seamless as possible. (Including a meet and greet prior and flexible pick up). Upon pick up, we could tell that Penny had bonded with Cate and her pups. We will definitely be back again. Thank you!

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.
