“Promise and her pups took really great care of my corgi for a week while I was away for work. I received consistent updates and when I picked up Mooney she seemed happy!”
“Maria was so kind when we met her and then followed up with outstanding care the 5 days we were gone. We received photos and videos and text messages daily. She responded to us promptly if we texted with any questions. Highly recommend Maria for your pet needs.”
“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.”
“Our dog Sprout received so much love and cuddles. Sue and Craig really made our vacation stress free by sending daily updates w photos and videos. Sprout votes with all four paws up that she would love to come back! So grateful for their focused care of our grand dog. 100 stars!”

“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!”
“Aastha and Dan were phenomenal. Our dog gets very anxious at drop-off, and they went above and beyond to ease his transition and make him feel at home. Aastha sent many pictures and messages throughout each day and they were incredibly considerate and attentive to our dog, especially over Fourth of July fireworks. We weren't sure if he would want to come home, he was having such fun with Aastha and Dan! Highly recommend -- they will be our first choice for boarding in the future.”
“Colleen and Joe were so wonderful to our little guy. He was with them for an extended stay while we were out of the country and they sent daily updates and photos, which really put us at ease. When we picked him up, we could tell he loved his stay with them and was right at home. We know Dezi can’t wait for future visits with his new friends.”

“I was on a vacation for 2 weeks to overseas with my whole family (two 7 months old twin infants and my husband) and had to find a dependable sitter to care for my yorkie, Conan. We usually take Conan with us wherever we go, but it was not an option this time as our hands are full with our infant twins. Since Conan does not have much experience staying in other homes and other people, we were quite nervous if he is going to be fine during the two weeks. This was the longest time he was ever separated from us. He is also very shy with strangers and not very social. All these meant that we really needed to find a perfect sitter for Conan so he does not get stressed out during the two weeks. I searched Rover and found Terrie. Since Conan does not get along well with other dogs, we were looking a sitter not owning a pet. Another criteria that had to meet was a fenced yard. And the most important one, good reviews! All these limits directed me to Terrie. I can only say good things about Terrie. She was sending multiple pictures and video clips every day. Those pictures were showing how Conan was doing, not just a profile picture. I was so worried that he would be nervous and not get along with Terrie, but I was so wrong! He was playing with his toys just like he does at our home, he slept with Terrie in her bed, he got cuddled a lot, basically got all love he needed. He even got territorial and assumed every person come into Terrie's house is a intruder and got into a "guard dog" mode. He does that when only he feels home and comfortable. So I was very happy that he was having great time, get a daily walk, get attention, and lots of love. Conan stayed one night at Terrie's 1 wk prior to the long stay and I think it helped much him to get comfortable. Conan is not an easy dog to handle except for his tiny size. Despite his behavior problems, Terrie and her family were very patient with him and gave him lots of love. She is really a terrific dog sitter. I absolutely loved all pictures she sent. She is very reliable, dog loving, and nice person. If you are looking for a loving, kind, patient, dependable dog sitter for your four-legged furry baby, Terries is the one. For any future trips I will use her again!”
“Bill went above and beyond taking care of our dog. Lots of walks, treats and snuggles. He kept us updated and sent lots of photos. Bill has great, positive energy. We will be sure to use him again.”
“Our pup Ruby spent 6 nights with Eric and Martha and she had a great time! They were so awesome. We received frequent updates, pictures and videos. Ruby can be anxious in different settings but we were assured that she did really well. They definitely went above and beyond and we will definitely use them again.”

Taylor took great care of Chuy while we were gone for a long weekend! I purposely looked for someone with another dog as he is very shy with people but being around other dogs makes him more comfortable. She was very responsive and sent lots of photos of his stay! We will definitely use her again! Thanks Taylor!
We are so grateful for the care our girls received while at Bryan and Sean’s. We are fairly new to Minnesota and have been looking for a safe space for our dogs to land while we travel. This filled that need. They asked great questions initially and sent us pictures throughout their stay. At the end we got the sweetest card thanking us to our trust and we got the cutest printed pictures. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you!
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.
Jordan took very good care of my two pups! He kept them for me during a big house move. They seemed very happy and relaxed when I picked them up. He has a great house of the great backyard extremely good human! I would definitely recommend him and use him again for sure! Thank you, Jordan!!
Kaija was great. We got regular updates and pictures of our dogs whenever we missed them while we were on vacation. Hilda and Petra were very welcoming to share their home and their humans as well. Glad to have booked with them for our yearly vacation two years in a row now.
From the moment I submitted a booking a request, Rob and his wife were easy to get in touch with and very friendly. My dog Buckie loved his time at their house, drop off and pick up were extremely easy. I couldn't have been happier with using them the weekend I was in Minneapolis.

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.
