“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 .”
“Susan & Craig were fantastic to work with. We trusted them with our pup the moment we met them during our meet & greet. They stayed in contact with us with photos and videos of Jasper and asked great questions from the get go. They were also very understanding when my flight was pushed back due to weather and we had to extend Jaspers stay slightly. We would book them again in a heart beat!”
“Wesley was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Frankie. From the moment I dropped him off, it was evident that Frankie was treated like family and genuinely well cared for. Wesley and his parents have a beautiful home with a secure, fenced-in yard, which made us feel incredibly comfortable. We were able to travel out of the country with complete peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and truly prioritized. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Wesley to anyone looking for exceptional care. I received photos and updates. We look forward to planning our next adventure and rebooking with Wesley!”

“Manami was wonderful to communicate with and i appreciated the updates she provided while Judy was in her care. Judy appeared to have a great time.

“Andrew is super nice and organized! Mirin had such a fun weekend with him! He asked me lots of questions beforehand to really get to know Mirin's personality/needs, and sent informative updates and photos during her stay. They went on lots of nature walks and he has a room just for doggos! I would definitely recommend booking with Andrew!!”
“we have only worked with one other rover and typically have family watch our little guy. Due to this, we were nervous to branch out and find someone new when we relocated to MSP. We did a meet and greet with Colleen and Joe and they were wonderful. Dezi immediately took to their great yard and house and they were both so kind and willing to answer any questions and put us at ease. Dezi also loved Nico and it was clear they would be great friends. Dezi just had his first overnight with them and they were very communicative and sent pictures and updates. We are already booked for another visit and are so thankful to have found Colleen, Joe, and Nico!”
“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.”
“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. .”
“We were so happy with the care Erin provided for our labradoodle! Erin provided morning and evening updates and pictures each day, and was always upbeat and positive. Mocha can sometimes be little anxious, particularly in a new setting, but did great with Erin and her 2 sweet dogs. Thank you!”
“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!”

Promise was great with my dogs! She sent lots of pictures and video updates throughout their stay, which I really appreciated. It looked like they had a great time exploring her backyard and getting plenty of attention. She was easy to communicate with, and I felt like my dogs were in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again!
Maria was amazing with Bela and Ollie! She took wonderful care of them while my family and I were on vacation for a couple of weeks. She kept us updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy, safe, and well cared for. It's clear that Maria genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their furry family members. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we'll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!
Annalise and her family make our pup feel like part of their family. She took great care to not have our pup outside too long in the heat and smoke and watched that she was eating and drinking well in spite of the weather. Our pup loves running around their big back yard and also following and snuggling with Annalise and her son. We look forward to bringing our pup back in September.
Lely & Mark were wonderful sitters for our dog. We have an overly anxious girl and being that she stayed with them near the 4th of July holiday, there were some extra scary booms outside that she didn’t like, but they did a wonderful job of helping her find comfortable, safe spaces in their home and keeping us updated and sharing plenty of daily photos of all their activities. We’d definitely book them again in the future!
Azhada was absolutely AMAZING. She went above and beyond every single day; sending daily videos, multiple updates throughout the day, and making sure Juice felt loved, entertained, and completely at ease. She even gave him some of his favorite foods, which made him feel right at home. It’s such a relief to finally find a sitter who genuinely cares about the well‑being, happiness, and overall fun-ness of my baby’s life. I’m so grateful for her and will definitely be booking again. Truly exceptional care.
We had a wonderful experience with Erin and Ramin! They took excellent care of our dog and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and messages, which made us feel connected and reassured that our pup was happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Newton had a great time with Aastha and Daniel! He can be shy around new people, but immediately was at ease with them and was at home in their large backyard. While we were away we got daily updates and pictures capturing his day. We are excited we found a reliable sitter who Newton clearly adores.
Sarah and her family are the sweetest. I really appreciate that Sarah had a cage and bed for Apollo to stay in, so we didn’t have to try to pack it. I think Apollo really enjoyed his stay, and we will definitely have Sarah as an option again. Thank you for your great care and your lovely family. Apollo also says thank you :)

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Golden Valley on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,689 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.
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.
