“Lan, Lucy and family were wonderful with Mochi! Lan is a kind and experienced dog caregiver. We were gone for about a week. Mochi came home happy, tired, and clean! Thank you so very much.”
“Millie enjoyed her stay with David and I felt comfortable leaving her after meeting and talking with him. She got to socialize with his dogs which is good for her and she doesn't get to do often. David is very knowledgeable about how to acclimate dogs to new places and make them feel comfortable. We will definitely bring our Millie to him again.”
“Thank you for watching Will again! It’s always good to see him happy to arrive and he comes home tired. We appreciate your updates and photos while we were away! See you again this summer!”
“I was so anxious about leaving my baby with someone else since we’d never been separated, but River made sure I got videos and pictures daily, and she replied within a reasonable time whenever I inquired about my boy. I’d definitely recommend and plan to use her services again!”
“Great boarding experience! We use Yuliya for daycare and very happy. Toby needed boarding for a week and he loved being there. Lots of pictures and he loved playing in the yard and hanging out with his friends”
“Today I picked up my little part-terrier Nani from a three week stay with Betsy B. Clearly, Nani had a good experience staying with Betsy. In fact, she acted like it was her second home. She also picked up some good habits during her stay, and was more calm than usual on her walk. I intend to use Betsy whenever I need a caregiver for my dog in the future.”
“Maria took care of my dog Josefina who is a rescue dog from a puppy mill. She is very shy and timid along with having anxiety. Josefina was quite happy and comfortable with Maria. I highly recommend Maria !!!!!”
“Howie was great! Our dog, Boo, stayed at Howie’s home for 10 days.Howie provided frequent photos and updates. You can tell that he really cares about his guests. Howie is very professional and everything went smoothly. We will definitely use Howie's services in the future.”
“Jordon and Melisa included the whole family in care for the dogs. So fun to see Frasier and Ellie interact and have fun with them. Appreciated the pictures and communication they provided. Thank you!”
“Shannon and her family were amazing! Coco felt at home, he was loved and taken care well. She kept us updated daily and sent us nice pictures. I totally recommended and I’ll probably rebook in the future.”
“Megan and Michael took such good care of our little Dachshund! Updates and photos everyday, which made me feel good to know how well she was doing at their house.”
“We can always count on Doc and Heather to take great care of our dog while we are away. Their responsiveness and obvious love for animals makes a stay with them a no-brainer.”
“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!!”
“Jessica is such a fun and thoughtful sitter! She’s a great fit for our small breed pup, and we can’t wait to use her on an extended stay! Chauncey had a great time and was so exhausted that he slept the whole day. Thank you!”
“Beth & Evan did a great job. This is the first time that Rio seemed to be relaxed at a sitter’s. They knew and understood the Crazy Cattle Dog thing. I will be using them again. Thank you Beth & Evan!”
“Bruce was professional and friendly. We felt comfortable leaving our little guy in his care. Bruce sent pics while away and went the extra mile with our dogs new meds. We appreciate this new connection.”
“I would definitely recommend Terrie, she is patient, kind, soft spoken and very tolerant of my very (I think) high maintenance little Meiko. She sent pictures and text to update on his stay while I was away. It was a problem for her when my flight was delay a bit and I had to come home through rush hour......patient kind and very tolant. The world needs more Terrie’s”
“My dog had a wonderful vacation with Renee and James. They took such great care of him. I have no worries about his stay. Thanks for taking care of my old man! See you in November!”
“Maria was so caring and sweet with my Josie. I can tell she received top notch care and was loved while I was away. Maria sent me many pictures and videos of Josie so that I didn’t miss her as much. I would use Maria again anytime!”

Jordan kept my dog safe and happy! He made sure I had updates about him every day and at least one picture during my vacation. Jordan followed my instructions and made sure to meet every single one of Tuco's needs. Tuco seemed happy when I picked him up and was for sure tired! Jordan is great.
This is Nellie’s 3rd time staying with Terri and we so appreciate having such a great sitter. She gives Nellie lots of attention and love. Nellie loves looking out the windows and having access outside to watch the squirrels. We will be traveling in Italy this fall and it puts us at ease knowing she is well cared for and likes visiting. Highly recommend Terri.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Golden Valley on Rover is $40.66 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,650 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Golden Valley. 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.
94% 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.
