“Mattison and Eli absolutely saved me! On very short notice, while I was already in another country, they welcomed Macaroni and Cheese into their home and treated them like their own. They kept me updated with pictures, and my boys looked so happy, comfortable, and completely in doggy heaven in their beautiful backyard. It was such a relief knowing they were receiving so much love and care while I was away. I’m incredibly grateful they stepped in when I needed them most, and I couldn’t recommend Mattison and Eli more highly!”
“Jessica was wonderful and super friendly. My dog Bell stayed for a few days and we got the cutest picture updates. Her dogs are so well behaved and Bell was so happy she had friends to vacation with. She came home and slept the rest of the night! Would book again and will recommend her to others!”
“Jesica was easy to work with. We had a fabulous meet and greet prior to Samson’s visit. During Samson’s stay with Jesica, we received plenty of photos and reassuring updates that he was doing well. Jessica is clearly a caring dog sitter who welcomed Samson into her home. We felt very comfortable knowing Samson was in her care.”
“Rona took excellent care of our high energy dog! He absolutely loved getting to explore and sniff around her spacious backyard, and he was very exhausted when we picked him up. We appreciated her daily updates and pics/videos. This was our first time having Rona take care of our dog, and we would happily book with her again.”
“My 4 legged member of the family had the blessing of spending the weekend with Stephanie. She kept me updated on his stay with videos and pictures. He went for walks and played in their backyard.”
“Brandon and Katy are lovely! They were very helpful moving my dog's crate and getting him settled. Sammy had a great time playing and cuddling.”
“Holly & Ana Maria were absolutely wonderful with our dog! He stayed with them for about a week and had the time of his life with their friendly dogs and cat. Holly & Ana Maria are kind and patient and were attentive to our dog’s needs (feeding schedule, walks, potty breaks, sleeping arrangement). They kept updating us about his meals, demeanor, and walks with cute pictures and messages. Our dog was very comfortable and happy with them for that week. We will definitely book them next time we are out of town. We entrusted them with our dog and they certainly delivered. We highly recommend them! 💙 Thank you Holly & Ana Maria for giving our dog love and care. He had a great time with his new human caretakers and animal friends!”
“My pup Cricket loves Kristin, Bruce, Hartley, and Lauren SO MUCH. He has quite a lot of energy and every time he gets to stay with them, he comes home tired and content (and even pouted the whole way home in the car this time). In addition to being fantastic Rovers, they're just great human beings and we're so grateful to have found them and cannot recommend more. Thank you, as always, for everything!!”
“Margaret was beyond sweet and accommodating, she took excellent care of my senior pup and gave her plenty of attention, care, and exceptional feedback. We’re new to the area and will only book with her, she's earned a trusted client. Highly recommend Margaret for any pet sitting needs!”
“We had a great experience with Stefanie! Ella seemed very happy and content with her stay. We received lovely photos and I felt like our pup was in very good hands:)”
“We have used Tony multiple times for our dog Mishu now. She absolutely loves coming over and playing with other dogs. Tony gives us great peace of mind while on vacation knowing how loved our dog is there! Thanks Tony! 😁”
“They were so great with Lacey! They shared pictures multiple times a day and gave little updates with each! I appreciated it so much as I always like to know my pup is doing while I'm gone! I will definitely be booking with them again the next time I need a rover!”
“Our three dogs had a great night with Allison! She was easy to work with and laid back. Dogs got to chill on the couch, luxury access to special beds and blankets. Thanks for a great stay!”
“Manu is always so sweet to our puppy. She is so excited to teach her new things and to have her around! She is also so communicative and flexible. We would definitely recommend Manu to anyone looking for puppy care!”
“Beatrice was so kind to help me out last minute with caring for my pup. He was very happy to see her, and seemed very relaxed when I picked him up. I am so grateful to have her to help so I can feel at ease when I travel.”
“Brad was communicative and provided photo updates right away when requested. He seems to be very knowledgable of dogs and I felt Teddy was well-cared for while our family was away for a weekend. Booking and pricing was also very reasonable!”
“David did a great job with our dog Roscoe for a long weekend! Roscoe is a high energy dog that needs a lot of attention and David had the perfect set up, with a great property including a fenced in area. We received daily photo updates and very flexible pick up and drop off times. We would recommend David to anyone and would be confident having Roscoe visit again in the future!”
“Benito loved his stay with Cleda! We were worried cause he usually has separation anxiety, but with Cleda he was instantly happy, he had the best time, and Cleda is great at giving updates and lots of pictures of how Benito was doing! We are definitely becoming regulars ?”
“Clover had an awesome time with Sarah and her pups. This was our first time using Rover and Sarah made us super comfortable with the process. She was very fast with responses, and sent updates and photos while we were away. Her dogs were very friendly with us and made quick friends with Clover. Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely use again.”
“Cynthia always does a wonderful job with our Dog August! August can be a handful and loves to take lots of walks, which Cynthia is more than happy to do. I never have to worry about how she is going to be cared for and that’s the best part. I can go on my vacations with the peace of mind that Cynthia will do an excellent job.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cottage Grove
Amanda and her family were exceptional. Our pup, Piper, was well taken care of. Amanda provided daily photos and each one showed us a happy dog that was living her best life. Amanda's communication prior to and during Piper's stay was extremely thorough and put our minds at ease that we chose well. While we like to take trips that allow us to take Piper with us, if the need ever arises again, we would absolutely want Piper to stay with Amanda and her family again.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cottage Grove is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 497 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cottage Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Cottage Grove can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cottage Grove. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 WI 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
