“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!”
“Lindsay was quick to respond to all my messages and made it easy to arrange drop off and pick up. She sent a number of photos of my dog and took her for a number of long walks, just what the dog needs to balance her abundance energy. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“Michelle was wonderful. She is super kind and so is her husband, Kevin. They handled my dog and his anxiety perfectly, couldn’t have asked for a better spot to board my dog :) he will definitely be my new go to when I need to go out of town!”
“Shawn was great! Sent picture updates and Caspian looked so happy and relaxed! He was super flexible and even worked with me as I needed to have a friend pick Cas for scheduling reasons. Thank you Shawn!”
“Ryan and Martha took wonderful care of my dog. They treated her as a member of their family. They took her for walks and sent daily pictures. I will certainly ask them to care for Ella again when needed.”
“Jenny and her family did an excellent job watching Teddy and giving him the best experience during the holidays. It was even his birthday and they went above and beyond to throw a birthday party for him! We are so appreciative of how well Teddy was treated and all the photo updates were reassuring. Teddy is looking forward to his next stay! Highly recommend! 🤍”
“Paula is my #1 pick to take care of my dog when I travel out of town. She's so caring and loving and takes care of my pup well. She gives the dog freedom and my pup loves going there. Paula sends pictures often and its nice to see he's having a good time. I hope she continues taking care of pups for the longest time as she does it well with care, attention and love.”
“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!”
“Shelly was wonderful with Wolfy and was incredibly convenient to work with! She was very responsive and provided updates on his boarding before I even needed to ask. Wolfy came home happy and exhausted- he had clearly been getting plenty of play and exercise, even during the frigid winter weather. Absolutely recommend, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again when my guy needs a place to stay!”
“Tony was great and we love getting pictures of her every day! Mishu is happy there and it makes it easier to go on vacation without her. I 100% recommend booking with Tony!”
“Alex and Hannah gave lots of TLC with nice walks in the wooded trails nearby. They were extremely accommodating when we arrived late and then had a delayed return. Thanks!”
About: Weekday Dropoff Timeframe: after 5:00 p.m. Weekday Pickup Timeframe: after 5:00 p.m. Weekend pickup/dropoff Timeframe: Pretty Flexible I would love to have a meet and greet with your dog(s) prior to booking! I offer personalized, in-home boarding for dogs who do best in a calm, low-stress environment. I have no resident pets and board only one household at a time, so your dog gets plenty of individual attention without having to share their space with unfamiliar dogs. I have more than 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs and have also fostered dogs for rescue. I especially love caring for small breeds, senior dogs, shy or sensitive dogs, and dogs who may feel overwhelmed in a traditional kennel or busy multi-dog boarding environment. My home has a securely fenced yard for potty breaks and outdoor time, and dogs are welcome to make themselves comfortable here—including on the furniture and in bed if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I try to follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, sleeping arrangements, and all those little things that help them feel secure. Your dog won’t be placed into a group of unfamiliar boarding dogs. This is a quiet home environment rather than a kennel or doggy daycare. Small, senior & sensitive dogs welcome I have a special place in my heart for little dogs and seniors, but I’m happy to consider dogs of all sizes who are a good fit for my home. Safety First Dogs don’t need to enjoy playing or socializing with other dogs. However, they do need to be safely manageable if we unexpectedly encounter another dog during walks, drop-offs, or normal daily activities. For safety and insurance reasons, I cannot accept dogs with a known history of aggression, biting, or attacks toward people or other animals. Let’s make sure we’re a good match I would love to do a meet-and-greet with your dog. It’s a chance for me to get to know your dog, learn about their personality and routine, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before their stay. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want your dog to feel like they’re staying at a friend’s house—not like they’re being sent to a boarding facility. ❤️ I currently work a full-time job Monday -Friday, 8:00 - 4:30. I’m a homebody type who would love just hanging out with your dog(s). I have a securely fenced yard and plenty of room in my house for your dog to be comfortable. Pets are family to me, so there’s no area of my house that’s off limits, including my furniture and bed.
About: Animals have been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember—from growing up around my family’s German Shepherd breeding and training work, to years of rescuing and fostering both dogs and cats. I can provide continuous supervision, regular potty and play breaks, and plenty of outdoor exercise tailored to each dog's energy level and temperament. My home currently includes one calm, dog-friendly resident cat, making for a peaceful, low-stress environment where guest dogs receive focused care and affection. I have worked with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I am experienced with administering medications and experienced with disabled dogs. I work remotely and am home full-time with a flexible work schedule. I can provide 24/7 care for your dog or cat. I am also available for walks throughout the day and week. While boarding in my home, I am able to be available for feeding or potty breaks as needed. I am able to watch the dog or cat to see what they need when. If I am providing drop in visits or walks, my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and evenings.
“Brad was a good boarder for our dog, Bear. He provided a few messages about how Bear was settling in and getting on throughout his stay. Bear had nothing but good things to say about his stay with Brad. 5/5 would recommend. Just don't book him on the dates I'll need him!”
“Remy had an amazing stay! He's a little special because of his tummy issues, so it is very hard for me to leave him at all, but it's just a little easier knowing he's in caring hands. Thank you so much for all of the photos and updates. I really appreciate all that you did to make him comfortable. Remy sends his love!”
About: I recently lost my own dog, Sonora, that I had for 16 years. I’m not ready for a new one of my own, but I have a large space and plenty of free time, so I want to love your dogs! Whatever you need me to do, I’ll be happy to do it. I want your dog to feel as much love as they do at home. I work 2-3 days per week and can work from home if I want to. If I’m home I can let your dog out as much as needed. If I do go to the office, it would likely be about 6 hours max. When I’m not working, we can walk and play all day! I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to run, dog toys and treats, water and food bowls. The neighborhood is great for walking on leash. We also have a small collapsible dog pool.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Cottage Grove is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cottage Grove
Shelly was able to take my two dogs on short notice since my original sitter cancelled on me the day before my vacation. She did great with my nervous dog who hasn't been left with a stranger before. My puppy adapted pretty quickly which I figured she would have. She was very responsive to my messages as well.
Amanda's calm energy and initial greet and meet process are probably why she is highly ranked. We did 2 meet and greets, with about 5 days between. At the time of her first drop off things were smooth and unnoticed by Maize. Within a few hours of drop off, Amanda sent pics and noted "She's settled in nicely." We were amazed. A few more pictures over next day showed Maize other family members. Maize got plenty of pick up and hold me time. We like that she was connecting with each family member. We had just moved to this are last September and had been out with pet sitter service which caused to miss a few family events. Rover is a stellar system making the experience good for all. Most important providing many reliable pet sitters in our area. Thank you Amanda & Rover! Dolores

There are 510 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Cottage Grove. About 94% 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.

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 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 WI 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.
