“John and Teri were the best!! Truly, we couldn’t have imagined better. We knew immediately at the meet and greet that our dog would be comfortable and well cared for, and the pictures and video they sent showed we were exactly right. He was having a blast and feeling right at home! We love that they really enjoy his company and care about him. He will be going back in a couple weeks and we are so grateful to know we don’t need to worry about him when we are out of town. Thank you so much, John and Teri!!”
“Kirsten is a warm, lovely person who gave us great updates and excellent care for our dogs while we were out of town! They loved to play with her dog in the backyard!”
“We felt so comfortable leaving Katniss with Sarah and Richard. Right from our meet and greet we knew we'd have no worries leaving her with their family. You can tell that they (and their kids) have such love for animals. We received an evening update with photos and a video each night of Katniss' stay which showed us just how much fun she was having with their dog, Sadie. We will definitely be using Sarah and Richard again in the future!”
“Serah was quick to respond to my last minute request and took good care of my pup! She sent me a photo update and was really flexible with pick up time. Murphy was exhausted when I got him home so I know he got lots of good play time. Thanks again!”
“Heather took great care of my doggo over the holidays. I know he had a blast from the photos she sent. Happy to know my dog has a new furry friend to hang out with.”
“Once again, we were so happy with the care our pups received from this fantastic team. One of our 2 pups has a fear of storms and situations that aren’t familiar. They went out of their way to take great care of them . I appreciated the pics of my nervous girl when she was calm and content with the family. Thank you very much! We will be hiring this A-Team again😊”
“The best rover we have ever had. She cared and spoiled our golden retriever like she was her own dog. She was extremely accommodating to a last minute change in a trip and made it easy us to take a trip out of state. I will be looking to book Carla again in the future! Lily was spoiled by her!”
“Elyse (and her lovely family) provided the perfect place for us to leave our Chihuahua mix for our trip. She sent lots of pictures and descriptions of his day so that I always felt like I knew how he was doing. She was also quick to answer my texts and any questions that I had. He was so very comfortable there that he ate well, slept peacefully, played tug, snuggled all the humans, went for a car ride, interacted and got his sniffs in at a dog park and played happily with the 1 other pup in Elyse's care. He clearly felt at home. He also transitioned beautifully to actually being back home with no signs of stress. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Elyse and I'm so grateful that Herman has found her, too. We will happily leave Herman with Elyse again because we know, with certainty, that she'll love and care for him like we do.”
“Our experience with this wonderful family was just that, wonderful! The entire family helped care for Bailey just like she was their own. Lots of snuggles, love & attentive care. Our family had just lost our dear Betsy (our older blue heeler). We had to let her go in January of this year due to illness & age. It was very clear that Bailey was missing her. So when she met some new friends like these great people, she was in heaven. Along with variety of 4 legged friends. We received lots of updates and pics on our vacation and that really put our minds at ease. I don’t think Bailey wanted to leave when we came to pick her up!😁 We feel blessed to have found this family and will definitely be booking again! Thank you ♥️”
“Mike did a stellar job with our dear DaisyGirl. We were anxious about leaving her for the 10 days while we were out of the country. Mike sent several pictures and texts about her as we were gone. When we returned to pick her up, she seemed totally content there with Mike and his family. We will definitely use him again.”
“Tasha took great care of our senior dog! She asked great questions to make sure she was informed on everything and provided great updates. We will be booking her again for our next trip!”
“Caleb took great care of our dog and gave us daily updates about how she was doing while staying with him. I really appreciate his prompt and open communication.”
“Amanda accepted my dog on a short notice and took very good care of him. Sent me photos and updates which was great. My dog gets very nervous when I'm away but he quickly got comfortable with her, she has excellent patience. 100% recommend.”

“After much trepidation and teeth gnashing, we decided we needed a vacation, and that meant leaving our dogs in the care of....someone. We wanted to try something different than a dog boarding/day care facility, so we looked at Rover. When we found Lynn, we immediately felt we had a strong contender for a successful boarding experience for our dogs, and for us. Lynn is incredibly responsive and has a great demeanor with both animals and humans. Our dogs loved their stay, though they were also quite happy to see their normal humans, and to get back home. We will not hesitate to let our dogs stay with Lynn in the future!”
“Trudy really takes care of our dogs… coco was very happy spending time with Trudy and Archie( Trudy’s dog ) .. she had great time over there .. Trudy used to send photos and videos of coco everyday .. we would love to send coco back again any day…”
“Tracy was amazing! Her love of dogs shows… through genuinely getting to know them at their level (based on their breed), through the meet and greet, and then going above and beyond through walks (sending pics of the routes/distance) and so many amazing pics/vids of Amelia’s adventures while with Tracy, that I was beginning to wonder if she would want to come home! Thanks Tracy!”
“Dalton & Kaitlin made our 110 lb dog, Koda, feel right at home. They were always keeping us updated on how he was doing and always asked if there were specific things we wanted to work on for training. Highly recommend.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Cottage Grove is $45

We cannot say enough, good things about Caleb and our two pups’ time with him over the long holiday weekend! It was our first time using a private dog sitter (vs. a dog boarding facility), which came with some nerves… But Caleb made the entire process so easy and stress-free with frequent updates along the way. It is obvious he cares deeply about the dogs he cares for, and our girls came home very happy! We will definitely book with him again!
Keyly took care of our elderly dog in her home, and she was wonderful! At his age, it can be tough to leave him, but I had no worries this time. She took great care of him, provided lots of photos and updates, and made sure he got his daily meds. He was definitely spoiled there and did not want to leave when I came to get him! We are super grateful to Keyly for taking great care of our old guy and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!
We felt so at ease leaving Emmett with Heather for a long weekend. When we met for a meet and greet, it was obvious that he was comfortable with their dog, family, and home. I felt that we got honest feedback about how his days were going and that he was well taken care of. We will definitely try to have him stay with Heather the next time we need to board him.
Dropping off my pup with John & Teri felt like leaving him with family. They are incredibly kind, and geniunely care for and love your dog like their own. It helps that they speak doodle, too. The one caution is if you leave your dog there for too many days, they might end up not wanting to come back home. If you have a doodle and need a sitter, you’re doing your dog a disservice if you choose anyone else! 11/10 recommend.
Katie was amazing with our dog Polly while we went away on vacation. We did a meet and greet beforehand so Polly was familiar with her pets and we could make sure it was a good fit. Once it was time to drop her off she couldn’t wait to be back there! Katie sent frequent updates and we had no worries at all while away. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will absolutely use her again in the future!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Cottage Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cottage Grove on Rover is $44.4 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 2,429 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cottage Grove. 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 Cottage Grove 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 Cottage Grove 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 Cottage Grove 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 Cottage Grove.
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 Cottage Grove 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.
