“I could not have asked for better care for my sweet boy!!!! Morgan and Jordan were absolutely phenomenal, and I will definitely be boarding my pup with them whenever we go our of town. The level of communication, pictures and their flexibility was perfect. It was our first boarding experience with our 3 1/2 year old rescue, and I was a bit nervous, but the ladies immediately put me at ease. He was very obviously loved and cared for while we were gone. I could not ask for more than what they gave. 100% will use their boarding again!!!”
“I was worried about leaving Loki with someone else for the first time, but Whitney made him feel right at home! She sent lots of pictures and it was clear that Loki enjoyed his time there. He got lots of exercise and playtime - I’m pretty sure he slept for 2 days straight when I brought him home! I would definitely recommend booking with Whitney if you have a high energy, playful pup!”
“Alka and Rajeev gave Kimchi very good care. They forwarded pictures and videos of her during her stay at their house which confirmed she was getting a lot of good exercise and walks. The feedback was very timely. I was very satisfied with the care given toward Kimchi which provided me peace of mind while I was on vacation. I would book with them again.”
“Trudy and her husband were so great with Cici. You can tell that she's a great caretaker because her dog Archie is so sweet as well. Cici spent so much time playing with Archie and outside, which was perfect for him. It can be so hard to tire out a Blue Heeler, but my furry son always comes home pooped and content. It's an open environment with a very clean setting, and a very knowledgeable owner who is focused on not only making sure your pet is safe and taken care of, but also comes home a better dog.”
“Ryan took such good care of our girl! Really appreciated his updates on how she was doing throughout the stay. He’s wonderful with dogs. She came home happy. Will not hesitate to hit him up again!”
“Mary and Bob and Izzy are wonderful. I couldn’t ask for a better place that my,Chloe, could acclimate and feel safe and cozy. Mary and Bob are wonderful and Izzy is a sweet puppy that accepts Chloe! I couldn’t ask for better!”
“Kim and family did a great job with Smoke's first sleep-away. There were two other dogs to play with, a big back yard to run in, and kids to provide plenty of belly rubs and bed for sleeping.”
“Lori was an amazing host for both our dogs!! My mom was hesitant to leave her pup so we decided to ask for them to be together when we were out of town for 8 days. We had a few “getting to know you” doggie dates which were awesome and helped my mom and I feel comfortable about leaving our pups for the longer trip. We view our dogs as family members and so did Lori!! She watched our dogs during thanksgiving and included them in the family festivities…dogs slept in beds with the family just like they would have at home!!! We would be thrilled to use Lori and family again to hang with our pups!!! She’s a great doggy mom and a wonderful person!!!”
“Michelle and Brian and their little ones were so great with Asher, despite his restrictions on activity. Sent lots of updates and pictures. He loved them, and they obviously loved him. Will 100% use them again. ❤️”
“Bennie had a fantastic stay with River! River updated us every day with photos and feedback on how Bennie was doing. River was very easy to communicate with and took excellent care of our dog. I would highly recommend booking with River!”
“We couldn't be happier with Ben and Julie (and their kids)! They gave such good care to our dog, They updated us every day and sent us pics and videos. Excellent sitters for your pet. We will definitely rebook with them!”
“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!”
“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!”
“This was the first time I’ve had someone watch my puppy since I got him. Jie did a great job. It was nice to get a video during the day so I could see my Kirby having a good time running around the back yard. I got prompt communication before and during the visit.”
“Shelby & her family were amazing! Our pup had so much fun while we were gone, we were both on vacation! Great communication, multiple updates each day with photos/videos- this definitely helped us relax while we were gone knowing that our pup was happy and well cared for! We’d definitely recommend Shelby!”
“Finding someone who can handle a high-maintenance large breed is no small feat, but we couldn't be happier with the care provided. Our dog is a lot to manage—both in size and personality—yet Monica and family stepped up to the challenge with total confidence. It was such a relief to receive regular updates and see that he was not just being "watched," but truly well-cared for. If you have a larger dog that needs a firm but high-energy and compassionate sitter, we highly recommend Monica's services!”
“Denise and Michael were just fantastic! I had some anxiety about leaving our older dog especially with someone new, since he needs extra attention and special care. They took such great care of both our senior dog and our sassy yorkie too! I know our dogs loved visiting their cabin and going on nice long walks! I appreciated getting all the photo updates while we were gone. We will definitely be rebooking with them again if we need a dog sitter in the future!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Eileen is a wonderful fill in caregiver when my little dog needs to be cared for due to work or personal life things that don’t allow me to give her full attention or need to travel. I appreciate Eileen’s attentiveness and passion for dogs. Thank you, yet again Eileen for being a reliable and safe space to care for my girl. Thank you!”

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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
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.
