“I’m so grateful to have found Aish and her family! They take such great care of our dog, and it’s clear he’s happy and comfortable when he’s with them. It’s a huge relief for me to know he’s in such good hands while I travel. Thanks again ❤️❤️”
“Our pup had so much fun with Chelsie and her family while we were away! Chelsie had great communication and sent the best updates with adorable photos of Zula. Would 100% recommend Chelsie to care for your dog and will definitely be asking her to watch Zula again!”
“This is our 4th time leaning our dog with Venessa and Micheal. They are always our first choice. They take wonderful care of our dog, send updates with photos and treat him like family. 5 star service! Highly recommend!”
“Lynne watched my 3 corgis for over a week. Upon returning from my trip I found them healthy and in good spirits! Lynne was responsive when I asked how things were going during the week. I couldn't have been happier with the care my dogs received from Lynne.”
“Our dog LOVED staying with Leanna and her family! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone that she didn't know, so I was nervous, but Leanna put me at ease. The communication was top notch. I was sent many pictures. It made me feel great that she was being well taken care of. Highly recommend Leanna!”
“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!!”
“Becky and family were absolutely amazing! Although I have two small children, my pups were my first babies and they couldn't have been better cared for! One of my pups has pretty severe separation anxiety and with her expertise and pup-loving nature, he was relaxed in no time! Becky was also very accommodating and flexible with our flight schedule changing and kept me up-to-date on how the pups were doing on a daily basis through texts and pictures! If you get anxious about leaving your animals with anyone, Becky is a wonderful option as she'll treat yours as her own. We will definitely be back!”
“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.”
“Katie and her family were amazing. They made our senior dog feel part of their family. They gave medication and attended to all his needs. Not only was he cared for but he was made part of their family. We would always recommend Katie and her family to watch our dog. She sent updates all the time and pictures of our dog having a great time with the family. Truly an amazing experience.”
“I am so thankful to have found Peg and Greg! My dog does not always do well with other dogs and doggy daycares are not a good fit for her. My parents usually watch our dog but could not so I searched Rover and found Peg and Greg. We did a meet and greet and immediately knew they were a great fit. They have a huge fenced in backyard stocked with plenty of squirrels to watch and chase. I was a bit nervous to leave her with new people (even though I was comfortable with them) because my dog has some separation anxiety from me but that was quickly calmed. Peg sent tons of pictures and updates every day. When I came to pick up my dog she happily greeted me and then resumed her squirrel-watching post at the deck door as if to say, "Hi Mom, thanks for coming to visit me at camp. Come back again next week!" I will definitely book with them again!”
“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!”
“This is the second time Amanda has watched Kirby. He gets along great with her animals and she treats him like her own. Thank you so much! I also appreciated the flexibility due to a plane delay. I won’t hesitate to book Amanda again!”

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!
I want to thank Marine for watching my rose. we had a meet and greet prior to our stay. Marine made rose fill very welcomed. after spending a short visit. and watching rose I knew rose would be safe and well taken care of. Marine sent pictures of rose looking very content. I would highly recommend Marine to watch your pet. Marine her husband and little son are very gentle and welcoming. looking forward to my next time I need a dog sitter.
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!
We love bringing Yoda to Braiden and Candi’s if we need a sitter! Candi sends daily updates and photos on how Yoda is doing. On this visit, he had a minor injury on his dew claw he got while playing and she kept us updated and made sure he had proper care to it. Candi is so communicative and we really appreciate knowing our pup is in good hands and having fun while we’re gone!

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.
