“Our standard poodle stayed with John and Teri earlier this year while we were gone for a long trip, and then again a second time this weekend. We know he is spoiled and loved and feels right at home both by the photos and updates John and Teri share as well as how our dog acts when we drop him off and pick him up. We are so grateful to know he is having a good time when we are gone! John and Teri are wonderful!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Sarah and Richard! They were very responsive and we appreciated the daily photo and video updates. Our dog loved playing with their dog Sadie!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I couldn’t be more thrilled that Elyse and her family took care of my pupper! They were incredibly active with him and sent lots of pictures and updates showing them all having a great time. My dog is pretty anxious but I could tell he absolutely loved being at their house. Very grateful for Elyse and I’m thankful to have a comfortable spot for my dog to go in the future. ☺️”
“We are so lucky to have Trudy to take care of Sweetie Pie. SP perked her ears up and looking for Trudy and Trudy’s family and their dog when I mentioned their names! They took her for walks, letting her riding in the car, watching iPad, and most of all playing and talking to her, maybe just having discussions 😉. SP had truly wonderful stay with them. Trudy send pictures and told me what’s going on…. Thank you!!”
“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😊”
“This was our second time leaving our dog, Cyrus, with Caleb, and once again it was a wonderful experience! We were away on a 5-day trip, and Caleb kept us updated every day with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Cyrus looked super happy, well cared for, and clearly felt right at home. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust with him—we feel very comfortable leaving Cyrus in Caleb’s care and will definitely book again. Highly recommend!”
“Lynn and her dogs are awesome! This was fluffy’s second time staying with Lynn. He had plenty of play and a lot of fun. Lynn is super nice, flexible, and responsive. We would definitely come back more!”
“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!”
“I felt comfortable so comfortable leaving my (2) year old kitten with Tess! She was so warm and friendly the minute I walked in the door!! And I was so happy Diego had 3 children to play with him!! I know he loved that!!! I will definitely use TESS for babysitting again! Thanks to Tess and Rover!!”

“Ranger gets the best possible personalized care with Tracy. Walks, playtime, and lots of love! I get more pictures and videos than I expect. (I don’t get any from the group daycares I sometimes use.) Tracy supports any training or behavior improvement efforts that we’re working on. She is very knowledgeable and capable. We enjoyed our vacation with no guilt! Ranger loves staying with Tracy!”
“Sarah took great care of my dog. I got lots of photos of my dog having the time of her life. She kept me informed of how well my dog was doing and loved on my dog. Sarah took great attention to my dog’s special diet and her behavior problems which helped me sleep well.”

Keyly responded immediately to my request message for dog care with a short notice. We arranged a meet and greet where we spent time chatting while our dogs got acquainted. I received photos and assurance the dogs were great together and Keyly provided much love and attention to my dog. She loved running around the fenced yard and sat on Keely’s lap while she was on line working! She doesn’t sit on my lap!! My dog didn’t want to leave when I picked her up. I’ll have to book Keyly early so I know I can go away and have 0 concerns about my dogs care. 🐾
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!
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!
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.
