“Kirsten was so patient with me...she cared for my senior dog over a long holiday weekend, with storms. Emma felt safe while spending time in her family and enjoyed the big fenced yard. Emma was allowed to sleep in the bedrooms at night. Kirsten sent pictures daily so I cld be reassured Emma was doing well. I wld highly recommend Kirsten.”
“Tasha and her sweet family were absolutely wonderful. She is responsive, flexible and genuinely cared about our pups. They took excellent care of them, sent pics and updates and loved on them as if they were their own pets. Bring able to travel without worrying about our furbabies was amazing. We can't say enough positive things about our experience! Thank you Tasha!”
“Michelle, Mathew & their kids took such good care of our dogs while we were gone! We got lots of pictures of them being loved and snuggled and felt so at ease being away from them! They treated them like family! We couldn’t ask for anything more!”
“Serah was an amazing person to have as our little Lita’s foster momma while we had an extended vacation. She kept us in the loop with texts and pictures. It was so reassuring to have our pup taken care of and loved as her own. Lita loved the fenced in yard and having Riley, Serah’s dog, as her playmate. We highly recommend Serah. We will definitely choose her again as our first choice in dog sitters.”
“Mike took great care of Wrigley during boarding stay. He really has a great set up for taking care of his canine friends. Really likes seeing some photos of our dog during his stay too.”
“Carla and her husband took excellent care of my girl, on short notice. She was happy. She made nice with her first cat encounters. She was well loved while I had work travel, which was exactly what we needed! Thank you Carla!!”
“It was our first time on the Rover site and we needed someone to board our sweet girls Betsy & Bailey for about 2 weeks. We were moving and we knew they would not do well with all the change at once. And what we found was the best! Jazmin and her great family took them in as if they were their own pups. The love, snuggles and support they received from the entire family was immeasurable. We will be doing this again soon! I’m talking about top notch dog people! We are truly blessed to have found Jazmin!”
“Elyse and her family were so great. Lucky is normally anxious, but he loved his stay there and hardly realized we were gone! They will definitely be on the top of our list the next time we need a sitter for him.”
“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.”
“Phoebe had a great time staying with Trudy and her dog, Archie. We really appreciated how natural she was with Phoebe's quirks and willing to answer questions, especially with it being our first time boarding through Rover. It was great that Phoebe got lots of time playing outside with her new friend, Archie. They even worked on commands with Phoebe. We're sure Phoebe would love staying with them again!”
“Phenomenal. Above and beyond. A dream come true. Tracy gives all day individual attention and truly got to know my dog. LONG walks, playtime, rest time. Ranger is getting socialized in new ways. Tracy has become a partner in raising him to be a well mannered dog. Leaving him with her is a ZERO worry experience. She is my number one choice!”
“Our entire family lives out of state, so Lynn really helped us out with last minute changes in our plans for the holiday! I can tell he had a good time and was well looked after. Thanks again, Lynn!”
“Tess and family were a dream come true! We were first time Rover users and couldn’t have been happier. She invited us over for a ‘pre-met’ to ensure a good fit and from the moment I pulled in the driveway I knew the arrangements were perfect. Her communication from start to finish was clear and fast. Luna had an absolute blast and came back in awesome shape. Cannot wait to trust Tess with my pup again soon! 11/10 recommend.”
“Carman was a delight and we felt very comfortable leaving our two dogs with her. She sent pictures and took them outside to play and they seemed very comfortable and at ease when we picked them up. Carman stayed up late for us to pick them up at 11pm which we also greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Carman, and will definitely ask her to take care of our pups in the future.”
“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.”

Elyse was absolutely spectacular with Johnny! From the very first moment, I could tell she truly understands and loves animals. She kept me updated, was attentive to Johnny’s needs, and gave him so much love and attention while we were away. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. It’s rare to find someone who connects with pets the way Elyse does. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I’d trust her with Johnny again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!
Caleb provided exceptional care for our 3 year old lab, Fiona, while we were on a summer vacation. We knew that she was in great hands the whole time. Caleb was communicative and regularly sent photos. videos, and updates. Also, Fiona and Cro were awesome playmates! We will absolutely book Caleb again the next time we need care for our pup! Thank you Caleb!
Mandy was THE BEST with our dogs! She went over and beyond to provide the most incredible care for them. Our dogs didn’t want to leave they had such a good time and fit right in. Mandy was an excellent communicator and even sent us precious photos of our dogs making memories! She was very clean and just an overall trustworthy and kind person. I would recommend her any day!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cottage Grove on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,392 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.
