“Excellent sitter! Very flexible with her schedule. My Wife and I decided we wanted her to visit the dogs a little early and she did hesitate to help! Our dogs look so happy! You will not regret booking her!”
“Jenna was outstanding and reliable. She took wonderful care of our two cats (one male, one female) while we were out of town. Each cat requires different feeding and care and she handled that without a hitch. She kept us posted and sent plenty of pictures. We highly recommend her and if available, will gladly ask her to take care of our cats again next time we're away.”
“Shelby is the best dog sitter! We could not recommend her more. She provided drop in care for our two dogs. From the initial meet and greet to her check in communications, we felt she was so kind and that our dogs were in good hands while we were away on vacation!”
About: I’ve been around animals since I was about 8 years old and have always loved caring for them. My friends and grandparents often trust me to watch, feed, and walk their pets when they’re away or busy. I’m patient, responsible, and make sure every pet feels safe and cared for, just like they’re my own. I currently work part-time. On weekdays, I work from 7:00–9:00 AM and 2:45–5:30 PM, which allows me time in between shifts and after 5:30 PM to care for and spend time with your pets! On weekends, I’m generally available, except Sunday mornings until 1:00 PM. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, medication, and routines. I give plenty of attention, playtime, and love while keeping them comfortable and safe.
About: I have 2 older dogs of my own I care for as well as a hamster and fish tanks. I pet sit 2 cats, a dog and a snake for my friend’s family. I have fostered 2 dogs in my home. I watch my sister’s hermit crabs when she goes out of town. I also take in and care for injured animals. I have complete open availability, and absolute flexibility. I’m planing on making Rover my full time job. I’m open to any changing schedules. I love to follow a detailed list of how to care for each pet. I will always give them extra love attention and care. I want all animals to feel cared for when away from their parents.
“Gloriahna did a great job with our Goldens! They were well cared for and happy when we got home. Love the updates and photos. Will definitely trust Gloriahna will our pups again!”
About: I have a cat of my own and I’ve grown up with pets for all of my life. I have experience giving medication to both cats and dogs. I can brush or groom your pet if needed and if they have any specific needs I can tend to as well. I’m currently unemployed so I can spend full days or nights at the house with your pet if needed or stop in multiple times a day to let them out or bring them on walks. I have a cat where I live full time I feed him, play with him, and clean the litter box as needed When he has needed meds i give them to him without trouble When I had dogs in the past I had experience grooming them, walking them, picking up after them, and giving them medications as they got older
“Danielle came over to take care of/ check on my super senior cat while I was out of town for a long weekend. She took care of all the things I asked of her to do for my kitty. I would rebook her if I ever need a sitter again.”
“Rachel took great care of my cat Jack during some drop in visits. She was sure to send pictures, communicate well, and spend time playing and cuddling with him. She was great!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. I currently have 4 amazing dogs of my own, I foster and volunteer for a local rescue so I have worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments and needs. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, long walks, play time, or calm companionship, I’m here to give your dog all the care, love and attention they deserve while you are away. I believe in treating every dog like my own-with patience, kindness and fun. I provide regular updates and photos, so you'll never have to wonder how your dog is doing. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in, or an overnight stay, I'll make sure your pup is safe, comfortable, and happy. Let's set up a meet & greet-l'd love to meet you and your furry best friend! I currently work full time so am available any day after 3 to bring your pup for a walk, feed them or bring them to my house to play with my dogs. I can make any night work for overnight care. I live in a dog-loving home with a secure, dog-friendly environment. My own dogs are well-socialized and friendly, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I am also available to come to your home to take care of your dog if preferred.
About: My dogs have always been very high needs growing up, so I have a lot of experience working with different diets, medications, and needs. I'm an athlete, so I can take them out for long periods of time to get exercise as needed, which can be really helpful for hyperactive dogs who have to be cooped up during the day. I'm also entirely capable of caring for senior dogs, I can take things at their pace and make sure they're comfortable and happy. I am currently a full time college student, but I have a lot of open time either between classes or after them. I commute to the Twin Cities from the suburbs, so I can easily travel wherever I am needed to be able to check in on or take care of your furry friends. Being in the cities with my own car I can take dogs out for walks around the lakes or down some of the trails nearby so they (and I) can get some proper exercise before my classes. When caring for pets, I always make sure they are getting plenty of time to move around, especially if I'm just dropping in to check on them, but regardless of the need. I like to keep a checklist of what I need to get done, as well as just having a bit of time to play with or pet them. I can take pets out for walks on foot or with my roller skates, which lets me go longer distances with them. I make sure to clean up any messes I might make, putting everything back as I found it and keeping things nice and tidy for when you get home again. I'm confident staying in new places, and can make sure everything stays safe in your home or space during my time there.
About: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while you’re away. I’ve spent several years working in veterinary medicine, where I’ve cared for animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. My experience has taught me how to recognize changes in behavior, administer medications when needed, and help pets feel comfortable and safe, even in unfamiliar situations. Pet care naturally fits into my weekly routine because caring for animals is already what I do every day. I work full-time in veterinary medicine, so my schedule revolves around the health and well-being of pets. Through Rover, I’m excited to spend even more time doing what I love by providing personalized care outside of the clinic. I’m available for visits on select workdays, especially before or after my shifts, and I have much greater flexibility on my days off. I’m available for visits on select workdays, especially before or after my shifts, and I have much greater flexibility on my days off for walks, drop-in visits, and extended care. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to provide reliable, compassionate care that fits seamlessly into their routine while giving you peace of mind.
About: Samantha and I have been dog owners all our lives but due to losing our last fur baby to Lymphoma at 4 years old we now find our house too empty with no 4-legged babies to care for so we would love the opportunity to love yours like they are our own. This is the first time we have lived in a house with no dogs so it feel too empty and quiet. We have a large fenced in yard and our property is adjacent to a park with miles of walking trails. I work from home so your fur baby will have constant companionship while vacationing at our house. I work from home and take daily walks in the park behind our house so attention and exercise is the foundation of our pet sitting philosophy. We have a fenced in yard and offer a husband and wife team to look after your 4-legged family member. We both have a lifetime of experience caring for and keeping pups safe and happy.
“Aida did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs, one of whom has special needs. She was very prompt and provided great feedback. Felt really comfortable leaving our two pups with her!”
About: My friends know me as the dog lover! What sets me apart is that I’m very attentive and genuinely care about making each pet feel comfortable and loved. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, likes, and dislikes rather than treating every visit the same. I’m also big on communication—I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. If I’m not at church or Bible study you can find me at the dog park! 🐶🦮🦴🐾 Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m active and enjoy getting outside, so I love having a dog to walk and explore with! I treat every pet and home like they’re my own. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention, and give them lots of love while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep you updated with pictures and messages throughout my visit. ❤️🐶

I live in Minneapolis but am open to driving. I live near a dog park and have access to lots of dog friendly trails. I love staying active and being outside. Excited to meet you and your dog(s)!
About: I have been a responsible pet owner (dog mom) for 23 years. I have great deal of experience taking care of dogs, especially large dogs. I believe all dogs should be treated with love and kindness and as part of the family. I have gone through multiple dog training courses with my dogs I have had and I will implement those skills when I take care of your pet. I look forward to making a pawsitive impact for you and your pet! I currently work full time but I am available evenings and weekends for drop in visits, play time, and walks. My service area is Blaine, Circle Pines, Ham Lake, and Fridley. I will provide safe care in your home and follow all instructions and safety precautions that apply to your pet. As a dog mom to a reactive dog in the past, I realize the safety that is needed when walking a dog or visiting them at their home. Safety is the top priority of your pet and home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Andover is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,544 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Andover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Andover. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
