“Promise is very friendly and caring for dogs. We had a meet and greet before the actual boarding. She really took time to make sure that Aka feels not nervious at her place. She also sends pictures of Aka every day! She is amazing! I truly appreciate her!! At the end of the 5 day boarding period, Aka was cuddling with her dogs Diego and Gizmo! It was so cute to watch them becoming good friends!! Will defintely come back and book again!!”
“Loved Judy and so did our corgi! She's a sweetheart and seemed to really love what she does. We always felt comfortable with the photos and text messages Judy sent each day allowing us to enjoy our vacation fully. Your dog will be in good hands!”
“They were great. We left our dog for 2 1/2 months and they handled everything. Kind and generous and very caring. I would recommend them to anyone as the perfect pet sitters. .”
“This is the second time we have used Jordan and he will be our go to sitter for future needs. Biscuit is always happy at Jordan's house and I have not worries about leaving him because I know he is in good hands!”
“This was the first time Dipper has stayed with William. She did very well. William is very kind and this was reflected in Dippers behavior when I picked her up-relaxed, tail wagging, as if she'd come from a mini-vacation. Great communication and plenty of pictures too!”
“Gabrielle and her husband took wonderful care of Odie. Odie had a great time playing with their dog who is the same age. When Odie had some itchiness, she let me know and took steps to help resolve it. She provided pics each day and a brief recap.”
“Allie did a great job taking care of my dogs! They were very happy to play with her dog and run around her back yard. I got updates and knew they were in good hands. She was also very flexible and accommodating!”
“We were a bit unnerved leaving our pups for the first time, after the meet a greet we felt comfortable and even more so after we dropped them off. Loved the updates and pics. We will definitely have Reana and her family watch Maggie and Murphy again 🏆🏆🏆”
“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.”
“Winnie always has the best time with Kiirsten! Winnie cries with excitement when we get close enough to Kiirsten’s house for her to know where we’re going. Kiirsten is wonderful to work with and can’t wait to use her again!”
“Robert was the perfect host for Bambi she was so well taken care of and I had so much peace of mind with him. Thank you so much for taking care of my girl!”
“Daisy was so great! We left our dog and cat with her for a couple of days, and felt so grateful they that had a safe place. Daisy kept us updated with pictures, how our babies were doing, and was so flexible when we needed. She is very responsive and a great communicator. Thank you Daisy for keeping our babies safe and entertained. We appreciate it so much!”
“Leah was fantastic and Mazzie had a great weekend with her. Lenny and Mazzie have many similar traits so they got along very well. Leah kept in touch with me throughout her weekend stay with messages and pictures. We will definitely use her again!”
“Clyde loved staying with Deneen. He ate well (which he doesn't usually do at someone else's house), got lots of attention and exercise, and seemed very happy! Thanks, Deneen!”
“This is the second time Charlie has stayed with Annalise and her family! We recently moved to the twin cities and one of our main concerns was finding a great dog sitter. We could tell right away how much Annalise loves dogs and we were so happy that Charlie got along with her dog right away too! He especially loves her yard! We love getting updates on how he is doing and it helps us feel better when we have to be away from him. Would completely recommend Annalise to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Lan was great! She took our last minute booking no problem and our dogs were very well taken care of. They loved hanging out with Lucy and Lan also keeps you in the loop with photo updates. Highly recommend!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Golden Valley is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Golden Valley
This was Winnie and Sunny's 3rd stay with Aastha and Daniel and we were once again so pleased with the experience. Our girls couldn't wait to jump out of the car upon our arrival as they always have so much fun exploring the backyard, watching the cats through the window, playing fetch, etc. Aastha and Daniel's communication is top notch! We love the daily photos and updates we receive. Thank you again!
Timmothy was very kind and accommodating throughout our first experience using Rover. Our puppy is very energetic and I know can be quite a handful, but Timmothy and his resident dogs were up to the task! He was communicative, flexible, and clearly loved dogs and took good care of our 10-month old puppy while we went on a long weekend trip.
Dustin was a great host. He was very flexible on drop off/pick up and very easy to deal with. I received pictures and videos throughout my time away, showing the (busy) house of dogs playing and going on walks. My pup had a great time and was totally tuckered out from all the fun when I picked him up. I would definitely trust Dustin with my baby again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Golden Valley is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $61 per night.

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.
94% of sitters in Golden Valley 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 Golden Valley home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
