“Amy did an amazing job taking care of Ivy. I am not sure Ivy wanted to come home after all the tender love and care she received during her stay! Amy was empathetic to our dog's special needs and communicated very well. We felt very confident with her care! We will totally book with her again!”
“Arianna was veyr accommodating with my schedule and took good care of Bo. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reliable and responsible sitter for their fur baby. Thank you Arianna ?”
“I don't even know where to start. This was the best experience! Nancy was amazing! She took such great care of our dog Rookie. She sent us multiple updates and photos/videos each day. At no time did we worry about our fur baby- we knew Nancy, her kids, and her dog, Dakota, were treating Rookie like one of their own. In fact, when we went to pick her up, she didn't want to leave! We'll ask Nancy to watch Rookie every time we leave town. This was beyond a 5 star experience!”
“Kim was amazing. We knew our dog was loved and well taken care of with Kim's family. She sent us updates and pictures daily, all part of her service. With other places. that's easily an upcharge. Well use her again in a heartbeat!!”
“Can't leave enough stars! From responding at the last minute on a holiday weekend to instilling complete confidence that our boy was being well taken care of, we are grateful for Stephanie and Dan. Would absolutely recommend.”
“Lonnie and Steven were extremely welcoming and communicative during my dog Lucy's 1 week boarding stay. Lucy can be a little nervous, has anxiety around other dogs, and is picky eater, but they handled these challenges very well. I especially enjoyed getting pictures of her sitting with them on the couch and hanging out with them on the deck. They treated her like family. I highly recommend Lonni & Steven and would not hesitate to book with them again!”
“Jen was a perfect host for Benji! She knew exactly how to comfortably introduce him to her dogs and clearly cares for all the animals she watches. Her back yard is a dog wonderland.”
“Shayla and her husband did a great job taking care of my two dogs for a week. My dogs were so happy there. They loved their fenced in backyard. I will use them again and highly recommend them.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was little. We had them as puppies. My dog, Lilo (Cavachon) is 8 years old. He is at home and very friendly. I have my FT 3-11pm, Tuesdays-Saturdays. Anytime in the morning is fine. I walk my dog or we go to a park every single day. I have partly fenced back yard. I have Lilo, my 8 years old Cavachon to keep a company. We either walk or go to a park everyday.
“Patrick and his family were wonderful with our pup, Tucker. Patrick sent regular updates and took great care of Tucker. We appreciate you and your family very much!”
“Deanna is amazing! Our Finn was so well taken care of and Deanna communicated daily with me to let me know he was doing. He got to relax outside, run around with his new furry friends and enjoyed lots of daily walks. I’m so grateful that we found Deanna!”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter for our puppy and Abby and Justin were fantastic! They were great at communicating and sending pictures- we were so at ease. Our puppy Sunny loved being there. We look forward to using them again!”

About: Hi, I'm Emily! I live in Lakeville, right by the Apple Valley border. I've loved and worked with animals my whole life, including fostering, pet sitting, and most recently adopting a puppy of my own (Moss, 6 months)! He's great with other dogs and loves to play. I work a flexible job from home, so I can meet your pup's needs and they'll never be lonely 💗 I do boarding, house sitting, walks, and drop-ins. I'm happy to follow whatever routine your dog likes, meds included, and I have experience giving subcutaneous fluids. I have open availability right now, so reach out anytime! I am currently on sabbatical and decided to do this for fun! So my my schedule is open when I’m not traveling or otherwise busy. I have a 2 bed 2 bath town house end unit that looks out on a pond full of ducks and other fun animals! I can be adaptable to whatever needs your pet may want or need (longer or shorter walks, dietary needs, meds, etc.) and my puppy plays well with others ☺️
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Apple Valley is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apple Valley
Marine and her family took excellent care of our girl! I let Marine know that our pup is a little anxious and doesn’t like to be away from us, and she took extra care to make sure our girl was happy and comfortable. Communication was excellent; the daily pictures and updates gave us so much peace of mind. We picked up a very happy and tired pup!
We had such a wonderful experience with Allison! Our dogs felt right at home with her and her pup from the moment they arrived. They had an amazing time playing, and she provided such attentive, loving care while keeping their specific needs and quirks in mind. We loved receiving all the fun pictures and adorable videos throughout the day, it was clear they were having the best time! We felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care and would book her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! 🙌🏻💛🌟
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!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
