“Promise and family took great care of my dog. She allowed my dog to get comfortable with her before introducing to dogs in her home. She sent video of them playing together . Thank you for looking out for my dog so carefully .”
“Maria was lovely to work with! She’s super flexible and responsive, sends great photos, and even went above and beyond to take Zoey on walks despite having a yard! Overall great experience!”
“Timmothy watched Jorah and Bogey for an extended time over Thanksgiving! He made them turkey balls and even developed a cute picture of them to give us at the end of their stay! The dogs always come home happy!!”
“Jordan has been watching our English bulldog Marge here and there throughout the year. Most recently he watched her while we were out of the country for two weeks. He always takes great care of her, sends us regular updates, and is flexible when travel plans change. Marge loves staying with Jordan, and we love having a great sitter for her!”
“Wesley was fantastic with our dog while for four nights of boarding. He was exceptionally good at communicating, sending updaters with photos, and making us feel at ease even though we hadn’t worked with Wesley before. It was so lovely to pick our pup up from Wesley where he was smiling and clearly well cared for! We will definitely ask Wesley to help again in the future.”
“Susan and Craig were wonderful! We are so thrilled to have found them and intend to use them again in the future. I could tell that Olivia had a wonderful time while she was there and was very loved while I was away. Susan and Craig also kept me up to date daily with how she was doing and shared cute pictures from her stay. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Eric and Martha take wonderful care of Ruby and love her as much as we do. The communication is exceptional with regular videos and updates. We can be away knowing our baby is safe and happy. We're a little worried that she won't want to come home.”
“Bryan took excellent care of our energetic puppy! She went for walks, played with other dogs- she clearly got plenty of exercise. We really appreciated the photo updates throughout the weekend. We will definitely book with Bryan again!”
“This was our first booking with Jacquie and Kyle and we felt super comfortable leaving our dog for 10 days with them. We got lots of picture updates and she was clearly very happy and entertained and enjoyed playing with the other two dogs they were concurrently boarding. We’ll definitely rebook if the need arises again.”
“My dog loves boarding with Andrew! He takes such care and makes her feel at home. He is accommodating to our needs should any changes come up. I highly recommend his services.”

“I couldn’t be more grateful for Emily! I booked her last minute, and she went above and beyond in every way. She walked my dog daily, sent tons of updates and photos, and truly treated my dog like her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in such caring hands. I will absolutely be booking with her again—anyone would be lucky to have Emily watch their dogs!”
“Erin and Ramon cared for our two little dogs and did an amazing job. They are fully set up in their home to care for little dogs and they are so knowledgeable because of their own dogs. Our older dog can sometimes be slow to eat and they took their time with him and made sure he got what he needed. Our younger dog is terrified of many things and they were kind and patient with all the fireworks over the holiday. We will definitely have Erin and Ramon watch our dogs again. They are great.”
“Manami was absolutely amazing with our Labrador. She gave her the exercise and attention that she requires. She gave us updates and pictures, we couldn’t be more pleased with her care!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Golden Valley
Jaime was great with my two large dogs for an extended stay, even with some special feeding instructions and anxiety issues. She sent so many wonderful pictures and let me know how they were doing the whole time. It was a huge comfort to our family leaving our fur kids with someone who clearly cares for her clients like they were her own. She even made adjustments to her yard to make sure they were extra safe and contained!
Promise took such great care of my dog, Toro! I received multiple VERY cute photos and videos throughout his stay and he looked like he was having a great time. He loves other dogs and was delighted to get to play with other dogs Promise was caring for. We will definitely bring Toro to her again next time we need a sitter!
My pup Lucy was ambivalent about seeing me when I picked her up - probably because I am boring in comparison to Justin! He took her for walks in the woods and allowed her to be an adventure dog. Justin was very good about communicating with me and sending pictures. I would definitely rebook with him next time I need a pet sitter.
Our spunky GSP was well taken care of during our family’s week-long vacation. He was patient and unruffled by her high energy! We could tell right away that Tim loves dogs… and definitely knows how to give them a safe and comfortable home away from home. Thank you, Tim, for being so good to our sweet Ruby— it really helped us relax this week, knowing she was in good hands!
Sue was great! My dog loved her and was happy. She cares deeply for her pets. My dog had a refusal of his chow while there. She totally accommodated him with veggies he loves and eggs. I would highly recommend her services. She’s caring about her neighbors and a wonderful person.

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.
95% of Golden Valley 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 Golden Valley 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 Golden Valley 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 Golden Valley.
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 Golden Valley 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 MN 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.
