“Aish and her family were wonderful. They sent many pictures and videos. My dog, Pepper, seemed to have a good time playing with the other dogs she had there. This was our first time using Rover and we were super nervous about leaving our baby with anyone. I think Pepper misses being over there now playing with the others. Due to the BWCA wildfires we had to end our trip early. Aish made sure to refund the money for the other days right away without me even asking. She responded immediately to all my texts. I would definetly use her to watch my Pepper again.”
“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.”
“We were very pleased with the care Ginger received while we were in Hawaii for a week. We were a bit nervous leaving her for a week, but Becky’s updates/photos/videos let us know Ginger was having a great time! We will definitely use Becky again!”
“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.”
“Ollie loved staying with Marine and her husband! They sent me so many cute photos throughout the stay and Ollie looked so happy in each okie of them. Marine also made sure Ollie was well taken care of, including brushing his teeth. I’ll definitely be reaching out again if I need to board Ollie somewhere again!”
“Morgan & Jordan did a phenomenal job with our dog! They sent photos and videos of the fun she was having and provided regular updates. We'll be repeat customers for sure!”
“Peg and Greg were fantastic. It’s always a relief to find pet sitters who are true animal lovers. They treated my golden retriever Teddy like their own, and I can tell he was spoiled!!! Also, I was so happy with all of the amazing communication between us while I was gone. Received many photos of Teddy and updated throughout every day. Would give them 10/5 stars if I could! Thanks so much for everything Peg + Greg, Teddy misses you already.”
“Trudy and her husband are wonderful to work with. be cared for our elder dog so well! Their dog Archie gets along so well with Riley thank you so much and I hope we can use your services in the future”
“Kelly is superb at caring for our dog. When we leave, our dog doesn’t eat well, but Kelly coaxed her to eat well! She gave Grace plenty of outdoor time as well as snuggles and attention. We love Kelly and our dog does too!”
“Steve and Diane were a pleasure to work with and making sure my German Shepherd was comfortable and well taken care of. Diane was good with communication, providing updates and pictures. Will definitely use them again”
“Thank you again for including Teddy in your home and being flexible when Mother Nature changes our plans! He loves staying with you and we can relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he is safe and happy.”
“Perla took wonderful care of my cat for 3 days. She followed all of my feeding instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout his stay. She regularly sent me photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the things that stood out the most was seeing videos of my cat sleeping next to her daughter. To me, that showed that he felt comfortable, safe, and secure in their home. It was clear that Perla treated him with kindness and care. I highly recommend Perla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty!”
“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!”
“We were so thankful Dee was available to watch Hazel again this year so we could take a family vacation to California for the week 💕! Dee again was an excellent dog sitter who sent daily pics and updates and gave Hazel great care while we were gone. I swear our pup was sad to come home since she had such a good time! Thanks again for all you do, Dee! We appreciate you so much!!”
“Absolutely wonderful service! Great care and love as if our fur babies are hers! Definitely 10 out of 10 would recommend and will definitely be using Whitney again! Thank you so so so so much!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apple Valley
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!
We had a great experience with Chelsie! We would not hesitate to have her care for our dog again. It was our first time using Rover and it went smoothly. We received daily photos which was reassuring and even amusing to see how acclimated our dog was to being there! Thank you Chelsie and family!
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!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Apple Valley on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,507 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.
