About: Hi, I have had dogs, horses, cats, hamsters and fish my entire life. There’s nothing I love more than being in the presence of all sweet creatures!! It’s the joy of my life! I am a Certified Reiki Master as well and happy to assist in any additional way you see fit for your pet. I finished my first book a now seeking multiple walks with new furry friends for my own dog! My daughter is off to college also so I have time to snuggle up animals! I have a fenced yard and one dog that misses doggy daycare since I am home full time now. He is about 10 and loves to be outside or generally just assisting in all things I do during the day.
“Shannon and David did AMAZING with my dog. Their communication is top notch and they sent me updates along with pictures while they watched him. I highly recommend and wish I would have found them sooner as I need services a couple of times a year!”
“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.”
“Joanna and Brian did an awesome job with my pup. I appreciated the updates along with pictures they sent me of my dog smokey while I was away. The next time I need a pet sitter I will not hesitate to call on them again.”
“Carrie clearly gave Leo good care. She sent me pics and gave reports that showed me she was paying attention. Leo was happy when we returned. I would be happy to use Carrie again”
“Georgie did a fantastic job caring for my two pups while my husband and I had our wedding in Stillwater! She is very sweet and treated our dogs like her own. We got updates and pictures everyday, and she was very responsive. I would definitely recommend trusting Georige to care for your pets. 🩷”
“Highly recommended! We could not have been happier with Brooklin & family’s car of Marvin & Henry. Great communication, with daily updates on how the dogs were doing.”
“Our dog had such a great time with Robert, his wife and their sweet dog Maizy. Robert was very communicative and sent at least a few photos every day. They took our dog on lots of walks in the parks nearby and really welcomed her into their home. We will definitely use them again soon!”
“Monika is truly the best at what she does. Our dog Sophie always looks at visits as a vacation when we go on vacation. She just loves the family and the dogs that live there. The backyard that is fenced in is wonderful. This is truly our dog’s home away from home. If I could give higher than 5 stars I would. They are fantastic and I recommend them with the highest possible regard.”
“Carrie and her family were amazing. I felt at ease leaving my dog with them for my vacation and knew he was in good hands. They worked with his schedule and needs and based on the pictures they sent me while gone he seemed to be having a great time. They gave him a lot of attention and played with him and overall were very thoughtful. I would recommend.”
“This was our 2nd time using Dynette and she was FANTASTIC again!! My dog HATES thunder and an unexpected storm pooped up! Dynette was so loving and patient with her! I cannot thank Dynette enough! My dog is so comfortable and loved when she is there! Dynette is the best!”
“Jeremie and Kelly took our Winston on short notice and provided a great weekend for him. Provided quick responses and plenty of updates. We felt our pup was in good hands!”
“We had a family emergency come up and needed last minute puppy care. It was so great to know Marcus was in great hands and that he would be well taken care of! Thank you again!”
“Nicole and David are so sweet and my dogs loved staying with them! Their two dogs are great with other dogs as well. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“I’m so grateful to have found Aish and her family! They take such great care of our dog, and it’s clear he’s happy and comfortable when he’s with them. It’s a huge relief for me to know he’s in such good hands while I travel. Thanks again ❤️❤️”
“Zema loves going to Bethany's house! They spend ample time together going for walks & playing in the yard (weather permitted) and snuggles on the couch. Zema always comes home happy and tired 🙂”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 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 2,492 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Cottage Grove. About 92% of Cottage Grove 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.
