“Great sitters, I got good updates and photos. My dog had a few accidents while there, but they were very understanding about that, which was a relief! Would definitely use them again, if they’d have my Snoopy again.”
“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.”
“Julie and Ben took care of our Golden for four days. We had to change our plans at the last minute and they took our dog and helped us tremendously with giving her medication. They were so flexible, kind and caring and took such good care of our pup. They sent us daily updates and photos which was greatly appreciated. Our dog returned home happy. We would definitely reach out to them again! Thank you so much Julie & Ben!”
“Ryan did another great job caring for our Bernese Mt Dog. Ryan was always available when we had questions or updates. He provided regular posts on her activities. He was flexible as our travel plans changed slightly, but he could accomodate our needs. I would recommend Ryan if you are in need of a dog sitter in the Twin Cities area.”
“Mary was great - Her family, including pup, were welcoming and communicative. Our dog, Odin, had a great time and Mary was fantastic about sharing pictures and videos of his "vacation"!”
“We felt very at ease with Alka and Rajeev taking care of our dog for several days. We appreciated the daily check-ins and videos, which helped us know Tria was in good hands.”
“Our pup Jackie was in a loving and safe home. Julia was super thorough in our pre-stay chat. During our meet and greet, she took the time to fully understand Jackie’s routines, needs, and gave me thoughtful answers to all my questions. She also gave Jackie a chance to review everything. When we dropped off Jackie for his stay, Julia took the time to double-check and confirm all the details. We got amazing pictures and excellent communication throughout his stay. I was a bit nervous about leaving Jackie with a Rover sitter, but Julia took such great care of him! Thanks a million. We highly recommend Julia and plan to book her again!”
“Carter was great! He was able to take my pup last minute over memorial weekend. My dog is very hesitant around other dogs but Carter and his pup were warm and welcoming to mine. The pups got along great! Will be using a Carter again in the future.”
“Denise and Michael provide such wonderful care to our little Mabel! They had her for 8 days recently and took her to their cabin for lots of winter fun! They are excellent communicators and so easy to work with! I feel lucky to have found them!!”
“Julie was amazing with my puppy who has alot of issues so i was very nervous to leave him for my trip but Julie handled it so well and was so great to my puppy! Will be booking again!”
“Jared and Candace truly love spending time with our dog, send us pictures and updates, and make us wish they were our neighborhood dog sitter. But still, we seek them out when we’re visiting from out of town because we get to feel like our pup isn’t missing out on an adventure, he’s having one of his own!”
“We loved having Lori as a care giver for our 15 year old dog Charlie. She communicated very well and sent updates and pictures during his stay. Lori is very caring and showed a lot of love towards our dog. It eased our minds that he was well taken care of with his health conditions and meds. I would definitely recommend Lori for your boarding needs.”
“Cheyann was amazing with our puppy. He spent 10 days with her family and he gets home tired. I like all the pictures she sent daily. Our puppy chew his toy and started threw up, she was so worried about him that she decided to call Rover vetnd Rover vet”
“Marcela was so great! I wish I could give more than 5 stars! She took care of my young puppy with a lot of patience and kindness! She updated me constantly while we were out of town! Lastly, there was an ice storm and our flights got canceled. She was super understanding and kind towards the whole thing! She really made my life and trip so much easier and I’m very grateful I found her!”
“We are so happy to have found River to watch our pup! We recently we’re out of town for a week and got daily photos and videos. He was one happy pup and we will be sticking with River for all future boarding!”

Pet 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!

There are 2,569 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Apple Valley. About 92% of Apple Valley sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
