“Promise was so good with our nervous yorkie-poo! She sent us multiple updates and pictures throughout the day and I can tell she really loves all of the dogs she cares for!”
“He was nice, flexible and helpful. He sent pictures, asked questions and gave me an update. He allowed us to do an initial visit, had SunBear’s things waiting and brought them to the car. Thank you”
“Wes was wonderful with our dog Zoey! Zoey is a senior dog and needs a bit of extra attention, and Wes and his family gave her just that! Received photos throughout her stay, would definitely recommend & use again in the future.”
“Our dog loved staying with Judy and we felt at ease during our 9 day vacation knowing Swish was getting the love and attention he does from us-if not more. We will definitely book with Judy again in the future, but probably never stay away from Swish that long again! We missed him.”
“Timmothy is hands down our first choice with our dog when we go out of town! Todd absolutely loves his time at Timmothy’s, and we trust him completely. Highly recommend!”
“Susan and Craig took watching our pet seriously. We know that he was in good hands. They kept us aware of his well being by sending pictures and providing regular updates. We will definitely visit them again. Thank you.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Sherlock! He was very tired today and didn't even supervise papa while he did laundry tonight! 😅 The daily pictures and updates put us at ease and it looks like he settled in just fine. I am also glad to hear you would have him back again. He is a good boy and very sweet. 😀”
“Trish & Robert were wonderful hosts for Ruby. She had a great time running around their backyard when we met and kept me in the loop with regular updates and photos. Would definitely be looking to see if they are available the next time I have to travel without Ruby.”
“Our dog goes from bashful to attention seeking very quickly. Dustin took great care of our pooch and sent us photos daily. Probably gave her nose butter better than we do. Washed her blanket too. Top notch sitter.”
“Aastha & Daniel are very kind and friendly people. Their accommodations for our dog were wonderful. Pictures and notes showed attention they were giving to our dog. She looked happy and entertained. We will definitely use them again when needed!”
“Daniela watched my 4 month old puppy and I couldn’t be happier! She was extremely responsive when we reached out to her and continued communication with us the whole time! I got updates throughout everyday with pictures and messages on how my pup was doing! Even sent us home with some more treats and a bone! Will definitely be coming back to her!”
“Colleen and Joe took amazing care of our dog, Tobi! I felt very comfortable, leaving him in their care. They even went above and beyond to send pictures and give Tobi a bath after a long day outside. Will absolutely use them in the future!”
“Jordan is absolutely incredible! Don’t look any further! He took wonderful care of our dog for a long holiday weekend, even sent pictures! We knew our dog was in excellent care the entire time. Book now with Jordan!”
“Maddie was not just cared for, she was loved and cherished by Eric and Martha! They provided us many photos and videos and you could tell just how happy our dog was in their care. It won’t be Maddie’s last visit with them!”
“Maria is great with my senior dog Henry. She made sure he was eating well and administered all his medications. She’s in a great location for boarding and is always pleasant to work with with. Thanks so much, Maria! ☺️”
“Bella had a great stay with Manami! Manami kept us up to date with photos and notes each day. This was our first time leaving our 9 year old lab with anyone but family. We were appreciative that she was so well taken care of. We would recommend Manami and Bella would love to stay with her again!”
“This was our first time staying with Terrie and we definitely plan on booking again when we need to! We had to book semi last minute and Terrie was extremely accommodating. During the meet and greet, she gave off a calm level energy and by the end our pup Millie was laying at her feet like she felt right at home. During the stay she kept us update with pics and could tell she was having a blast. At pickup, Millie certainly was excited but also seemed very relaxed. Thanks Ms. Terrie!”
“This is our 2nd time leaving our dog with Kira. We were very happy with the care given to Milo. She kept us updated on day to day with pics. Highly recommend Kira for anyone who need best care for their dog.”
“Amy is fabulous to work with and has a pulse on her mix of dogs she watches. She gets back to you promptly and will be as flexible as possible. I have a busy 16 month old and he had the most wonderful time with her. I am so relieved I found an outstanding dogsitter”
“Sarah was very active and communicated well with me answering my questions and concerns. She was able to accommodate and accept my last minute request. Her family was also very friendly and helped us to watch our dog Enzo!! I highly recommend booking with Sarah.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Golden Valley
Susan and Craig did a fantastic job taking care of Cooper while we were in Europe! This has been the longest that I have been away from our fur baby for this long and I knew he was in great hands. They are great communicators and do an excellent job handling all of Cooper's different food preferences. They also do a great job managing his anxiety during storms/fireworks. We are grateful to have found them.
Aastha and Daniel were absolutely fantastic care providers for our anxious Maltese Hank. We had a Meet and Greet and we immediately could tell Hank would be happy in their large, fenced backyard and their comfortable home. They asked all the right questions and seemed undaunted by giving Hank his medications or Hank’s tendency to bark a lot—but they seem to have the magic touch because they said Hank didn’t bark very much while we were gone. They sent many daily reports and photos so we always knew how things were going. Aastha and Daniel are warm, friendly and also highly educated, so we knew they know what to do in an emergency and be responsible. They both work from home and only take one pet to care for at a time, so your pet gets the best and the safest care. We highly recommend them and will be using them again!
Dillon was fantastic once again! I had some work being done on my house where they needed one extra day & Dillon let me book a daycare visit at his home so Piggie wasn’t stressed with new folks in the house and their tools making noise. Piggie never misses a beat when getting picked up from his time with Dillon! Thanks again for the short notice booking & summarizing/debrief your time with my dog!
Highly recommended, Sarah was flexible with a meet & greet last minute change, dropping off my dog early and picking him up late, she sent photos and I could see Frankie was having a great time and was well taken care of while I was away. Also, made time for a week long stay on very short notice. She'll be the first I contact next time!
Sue took extraordinarily good care of our Springer, Poppy. She messaged me several times a day and sent lots of pictures. She took Poppy on at least three walks a day. She has a wonderful home for a dog and it was nice that Poppy could sleep on her bed. I would recommend Sue very highly and we definitely will use her again. She's a 5+.
Theresa and her husband did a wonderful job taking care of my pup ! Theresa sent daily photos and did daily grooming with my dog which was so appreciated. They were flexible with both my drop off and pick up times which I also greatly appreciated . I could tell my dog had had a great time when I came to pick her up and —she was in a no big hurry to go home with me !!! I would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
