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.

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.

Giovana & her family were absolutely amazing to our pup, Tucker! She was speedy in communication and sent lots of photos during his stay there. She was very accommodating & you can tell has a huge heart for animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone. We've already got our next away-dates scheduled with them. Tucker is already excited! 😀

Great experience with Emily and family. We rarely use dog sitters we do not know and I was nervous about how Maisy would do. Emily was a great communicator and very responsive. She kept me updated with pictures and texts. Maisy seemed to have a great time with their sweet dog and lovely family. Huge backyard to play in! Maisy came home happy and tired out! Thank you!

Kelly was 100% what we needed for our first puppy and our first time boarding our puppy. She made us feel so relaxed from our first communications, and she made sure we were comfortable the entire time. Her communication was spectacular, with daily updates and pictures while we were gone. We could tell that Lucky was having so much fun and getting so much attention!!! We knew he was well cared for, and getting plenty of love as well. He actually learned how to go for walks while he was there!!! We would absolutely book with Kelly again. Thank you so much, Kelly!!!!

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.

Another great visit with Lan for my Labradoodle, Buddy. As always, she was great, taking special care of my little guy while I was away for nearly three weeks. Really appreciated her flexibility when we needed to adjust our return date. It was so good to know he was in good hands and having so much fun playing with her dog, Lucy.

They are definitely "dog" peeps :) Snickers loved playing with her Yorkie, Bobby. I don't have to leave him often, but I would use Dawn and Brielle again!

He never gets to play with dogs his size so he loved that! They had lots of sunshine and outdoor time! We will use Jennifer again!

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!

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.

FAQs for Boarding - Cottage Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 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 2,455 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.
