Sheree was an amazing sitter to our Wanda Claire. She took her on walks/to dog parks and even sent us pictures and updated us as to how Wanda was doing. We will definitely be asking her in the future to watch our baby!

Jennifer takes such good care of our pup, and clearly really loves and dotes on my dog. We love knowing our pup is so well cared for when we're away!

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!

Our pup fit right in to Annalise's family and had a great time. Annalise is very responsive, flexible, experienced with dogs, and delightful ! She took especially good care of our pup during a heat wave. Her large fenced yard is perfect for our pup to explore and play with her pup. We will definitely come again!

Alvin had a fabulous time with Elsa and Nick. He learned how to go down stairs and jump onto the sofa. After 2 years I have never been able to teach hi. To see him happily descending stairs was a wonderful shock. It was wonderful to receive pictures, videos and updates daily. Alvin has only stayed away from me twice, and often ignores my visitors. So seeing how much he enjoyed his one on one pampering by Elsa and Nick was wonderful. I will be booking a date in May. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of him.

About: Our family has always loved dogs. We had two wonderful dogs who were part of our family for 15 and 18 years, and we’ve continued to enjoy caring for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs since then. We’ve learned that every dog has their own personality and routine, and we love getting to know each one. Our family loves including dogs in our everyday life! Between our schedules, there’s very little time when at least one of us isn’t home. We love bringing dogs along to sporting events, outings, and walks when they enjoy being on the go, but we’re just as happy spending a quiet afternoon at home snuggling with a pup on the couch. Your dog’s safety and well-being are our top priorities. We have a very large, fully fenced yard with plenty of room to run and play, plus friendly neighborhood dogs who love a playmate. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel right at home.

I really can't say enough positive things about Howie. Right before a weekend trip, I was lamenting to a coworker about leaving my dog Norman at doggy boarding for the weekend. At 10 years old, the loud and busy boarding environment has outpaced Norman. Picking Norman up from doggy boarding- you'd think he was escaping from prison--and the net effects of his stay would last way longer. Well, I contacted Howie in the 11th hour, assumed some risk by bypassing a meet and greet, and Norman spent the weekend with Howie and his wife. Howie sent pictures of a very content and happy looking Norman throughout the weekend, and when we picked Norman up, he was as happy and carefree as ever. It's been two days, and I can tell how much Norman was cared for, played with, and attended to. The only downside is Norman's probably wondering where his new friend Howie is. Highly recommend.

Sue was a wonderful home away from home for our pup, Rilo, while we were away on an extended holiday weekend. We received daily pictures and updates and felt totally comfortable with Rilo in Sue’s care. We very much appreciated her attention to Rilo’s schedule, eating habits, and likes/dislikes. Would highly recommend Sue’s loving care.

FAQs for Boarding - Golden Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Golden Valley on Rover is $40.52 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 2,711 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Golden Valley. About 92% of Golden Valley sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
