“Elizabeth and her family were great. She made sure to help Diesel get around the house since he is a senior dog and I received plenty of pictures so I could make sure he was settling in ok.”
“Morgan and Jordan are fabulous. They really cared about and for our boys were obviously so loved and so happy to have two more people in their pack! Thank you two! You are HIGHLY recommended by Flynn & Teddy and their people!”
“We were very comfortable leaving our girls with Alka and Rajeev. Our dogs are older, and stress out in a kennel type setting - so leaving them in a home was a priority for us. They have a huge fenced in yard, plenty of places to take naps, and lots of snuggles to give. We will absolutely be using them again.”
“This is the 2nd time we’ve left our dog, Riley, with Whitney and he seemed very happy staying with her. She communicated with us well and sent pictures. We would be happy to recommend her for anyone needing to leave their dog in a loving home.”
“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.”
“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.”
“My dog was in good hands with Trudy and her family. Their dog Archie is so well mannered and got along with my dog well. Easter was tired from all the playtime and walks and slept great her first night back home! Highly recommend.”
“Kim was such a pleasant person to work with - knew from our first meet and greet that she was going to take great care of our pup. She is a caring and sent us pictures/updates while while we were on vacation. She was very responsive and flexible arranging a meet and greet, and with drop-off/pick-up. It was definitely a good experience and hope Kim will be available for future stays! =)”
“Julie and Ben were great! We needed a sitter on short notice, and they were quick to accommodate! Our dogs looked like they had a great time. We will definitely consider them for future needs!”
“Could not have had a better experience! Piper truly enjoyed her stay with this kind and communicative family. They sent us lots of adorable pictures while we were away, and Piper was clean and happy when she returned. We’ll be back!”
“Mary exceeds our expectations. She takes great care of Lucee. Her dog and Lucee get along great. She takes her on walks, plays fetch and treats her like her own. It gives us so much comfort knowing she is well cared for by Mary while we are gone. 3rd visit with another scheduled. Thanks Mary and Izzy!”
“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!”
“River has been a lifesaver, being able to take my dog on short notice and remain flexible with drop off and pick up. We moved and didn't want the dog under foot. It helped so much and I got a tired dog back to introduce to our new house!”
“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!”
“My pup had another amazing stay with Jie and Lu. I wish I would have gotten more videos but overall we were very satisfied. Osito got to play with their dog and I felt assured knowing that he was getting lots of attention.”
“Another successful vacation for my family in the books! I couldn't have done it without Amy and Chris watching our fur baby Chewy. Amy is amazing! I love the updates she gives us and I know he's getting the same care as if he were at home. Our dogs get along great and I love that, makes for easy dog sitting. Thanks again Amy!”
“Sebastian had a great time with Shelby and all the other Rover dogs that stayed with her and her family! With plenty of picture updates, it looks like he spent the majority of the beautiful week outside playing. He definitely can’t wait to go back and hang with his buds! Truly a vacation for him.”
“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.”
“Julie did a great job caring for my dog while we were away for a week. She has a very spacious backyard for dogs to roam and she’s able to give the care and attention your dog needs. I have peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands when she needs 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!
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 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.

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.
