“Jenna was great! She was able to fit us in her schedule to take care of our 2 cats for a week. The fellas got food and plays and pets, and the sulking & lecturing period when we got back was pretty short this time!”
About: I have had 4 dog companions during my life. Currently Lola (4) and Piper (5) are my babies! Gentle labs with people and other dogs! I am retired, so have lots of free time to provide great care for your pet. I come and go throughout the day but home most of the day. I have a fenced yard for play time. My house is very pet friendly. I have 2 labs that are very friendly, gentle and accepting
“Amanda was so amazing. She really cared about our puppy and even went above and beyond carrying our puppy up the stairs since she had just gotten spayed. Lily really loved Amanda!!!!!!!”
“Kayte did a great job of visiting with our pups each day. She arrived on time, played with our hyperactive Gemma, and dealt effectively with our stubborn older Jasper. They were kept happy and accident free. Will definitely use her again when needed.”
“Tamany is trustworthy, kind, and very easy to work with. Her drop-in visits have been incredibly valuable to our pups and our peace of mind. We would recommend her to future clients!”
“I just love April and how she takes care of my cat! I’m so glad I found her. She has cats also so she always tries different fun things with my cat. I like that. And if I didn’t want April all to myself I would tell everyone to hire her for their pets…! She is great!”
“Rachel took care of our cat Olaf while we were out of town. Olaf usually hides with new visitors, but he immediately warmed up to Rachel! She did a great job communicating (updates, pictures, etc.) and followed the pet care plan perfectly. Couldn’t recommend her services more!”
“Nichole has been great! She is very friendly and responsive. I enjoy the report cards I get from her visits. It’s comforting knowing that my kiddos are getting checked on each day by someone caring. Having Nichole stop by takes a lot of stress off my shoulders while I’m at work all day. Highly recommend!”
About: I have worked with dogs for about 3 years! Training, boarding and daycare settings! Growing up I also dog sat for friends, family and others!! I currently work part time at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I am home 50% of the day, mostly mornings! I am in the National Guard so occasionally I will not be available for the weekend! I currently live with my family, my dog and my sisters dog! My sisters dog can be reactive with other dogs so it would be better for me to stay in your home for overnight boarding or drop in visits!
“Sara has been very good with Brewtus!! He's a puppy and isn't trained all the way just yet. She plays with him and he goes potty for her. No accidents while he is waiting for us to come home after she's been here! So happy ?”
About: I’ve always had animals to take care of since I can remember. Both cats and dogs, and even some other small animals/exotic pets. I worked at a boarding facility with daycare, and I have fostered many dogs in the past. I’m an animal science major and have many hours of experience working with animals of all kinds. I have worked with reactive dogs and I’m always up for keeping your routine consistent with any training you might be working on as well! I will be working a summer job along with pet-sitting this summer. I will only be working max 8 hour shifts and will always have time to care for my own pets, along with yours. If you choose me to take care of them. I have an unfenced yard, but I do have a tether that I can attach a dog to. But of course, I can walk them around the yard on a leash, if that works better for the dog! A typical day with my dog looks like: Wake up and immediately feed him and replenish his water, then out for a potty break. We then spend some time relaxing while I get ready for the day. If he wants, we spend some time inside playing with toys. If I need to go to work, he resides in the common areas of the house. He will always get let out before I leave. If we spend a lot of time inside/if I have to work, I’ll get home and we usually go for a walk to get some energy out. We usually do some training and other daily activities either on the walk or after. Then in the evening he eats again, we go out for a potty break. Normally my dog doesn’t have an overabundance of energy, so we spend the rest of the night cuddling on the couch.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication and patience. I have taken care of dogs ranging from 2 years or to 17 years old. I have experience with older dog and having to clean up accidents as well. I currently have a full time job that I work from 8:30-5pm Monday-Thursday, 9-3 on Fridays. With early communication I am willing to make adjustments to accommodate if it makes sense. I would prefer to watch your pet in their environment. I think it helps them feel more comfortable with me and being in a space they know.
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.
“With the weather and really warm temps this week, this was a last minute booking that allowed Ludo to get in the house during the hottest part of the day after spending the morning and early afternoon outside. Amber was able to accommodate the last minute request and help out with that!”
About: I’ve had a dog for two years and I love it! We love to play and go for walks together! I’ve also had cats my whole life so I’m able to help with them too! I work in the evenings so I have all morning during the week to go for walks, play, or whatever you need! Open to weekends as well! I have two dogs with a fenced back yard. We have a very quiet and friendly neighborhood with some good walking paths! We love our dogs and always make sure they are loved!
About: Thank you for considering me to provide care for your fur baby. I am available to provide drop-in care for your cat or small to mid-sized dog as well as walk your dog in your absence. I have almost always had a cat in my life. I had cats all throughout childhood and for 22 consecutive years as an adult. I usually have two furry friends in my home at one time. My current loves are an 18-year-old Maine Coon and a 6-year-old Tuxedo. I can care for kittens up through geriatric kitties like mine. I have complete flexibility with my schedule and am happy to take requests on short notice. I am happy to provide meds, brush your feline friend, feed, change litterbox, play with, or whatever else your cat needs. Although I have never had a dog, I have cared for the dogs of family members when they traveled or were recovering from surgery. Dog care included walking, feeding, playing, and just making sure the dogs stayed happy and healthy until my family member returned home. I appreciate the trust placed in me and can't wait to meet your four-legged companion. I have complete flexibility with my schedule and am willing to take requests with just one day's notice. Your fuzzy companions will be in good hands while you travel. Just let me know what your pet need while you are away from home, and I will provide it. I will leave your home exactly the way I found it as well.

Alisha is great with our dog, he needs meds at a specific time and she was able to accommodate. The photos and message from the visit are very detailed. She makes sure your pet gets the attention they need while she comes to visit. Booking with her again if I need it!
Jo Yi did a fantastic job with my cat Pesto! She was very communicative and shared updates and pictures of my cat during her visits. She followed the care instructions I left for her and my cat loved spending time with Jo Yi. Grateful to have a reliable sitter to watch her while I was away - thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Anoka is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 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 October 2026, there are 5,514 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Anoka. 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
