Emily was great with our dogs kept us updated on how they were doing and sent lots of pictures. I think the dogs we sad that we came back for them, and that they didn't get to stay longer.

Estrella loved going to Sarah's house! She always has a fun time playing with Sarah's dogs and she met a new friend in the regular daycare dog they host. We got lots of adorable pictures and videos and Estrella came home tired and happy!

Edith was amazing, as always. She provided frequent updates and photos of Henry throughout our 10-day holiday, which we truly appreciated. We always feel completely at ease knowing Henry is in such good hands with Edith—she takes wonderful care of him and clearly makes sure he’s happy and having a great time. Because of her, we’re able to fully relax and enjoy our trip without a single worry.

Great communication for booking, through their stay, and when we needed to adjust our pick up time. We received pictures of our ladies several times, which brightened our day and helped us feel at ease when we were away. They were very attentive to the different food and medication needs our ladies have. We will definitely use them again for future boarding.

I couldn’t be happier with Rosie’s stay! Amanda sent pictures and Rosie was clearly having a wonderful time and fit right in. When I picked her up she was tired from playing and very happy. Rosie will definitely be a frequent visitor!

Kaycee and Robert are the best! They took such good care of our little dog, who has never spent time away from us. They took him on walks, played with him, and kept him warm and safe. Our dog loved Tank (their dog) and the kids. He had a blast with this lovely family. They are kind and warm people who took excellent care of our dog. It is evident that they are expert dog owners who have fostered and trained many dogs. We will definitely book them next time we leave town. We highly recommend them!

Val took amazing care of our dogs and also was extra attentive in walking us through the entire Rover experience since this was our first time. We picked up very happy and healthy dogs today and couldn’t have been more thrilled by the experience. Thank you so much, Val! Because of you and your updates/pictures we were able to take a much needed vacation without worrying about our fur babies.

Our little pup Rena absolutely enjoyed her stay with Tessa! We were given the best pup-dates throughout the day and enjoyed seeing pictures of our pup having the best vacation with Tessa and Tennessee. Thank you for your care, attention, and love to Rena! Tessa was also super flexible with drop off after we had to deal with a medical emergency and I am so grateful for that!

Very appreciative of Shelly being able to take our dog in on short notice for a few days due to a last minute change of plans. Was very accommodating and helped out with our dog's medication. From all indications our dog had a great time!

FAQs for Boarding - Cottage Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cottage Grove on Rover is $55.5 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 504 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.

90% 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 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.
