About: I've had pets my whole life, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I am experienced in their care and am open to all personalities. I am committed to doing everything I can to ensure they are happy and comfortable. I also have experience with senior pets and puppies. I'm currently a student on summer break, so I have plenty of time to care for your beloved fuzzy friends. I am available all week days and on weekends. I am willing to care for your pets in any way they need. I am committed to doing everything I can to ensure they are happy and comfortable.

“Katherine successfully completed three drop-in visits to feed our cats, provide them with fresh water and scoop their litterboxes. She was on time (which we really appreciate) and cleaned up the dirty cash dishes. We have already requested her for future visits :-)”

“Christy is fantastic! She took care of my two cats while my family and I were on vacation. She truly went over and beyond, has a heart for animals, and was an excellent communicator. I can’t recommend Christy enough!”

“Sara did a great job with a week of daily check ins for our two cats. She was timely and was not in a rush when they needed some extra attention. Will definitely use her again!”

About: With over 8 years of experience in animal care, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, rats, and even lizards! I’m confident handling pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions who need a bit of extra TLC. I also have experience administering medications like pills, topical creams, and pet inhalers. I’m always happy to learn your pet’s unique routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m a student at the University of Minnesota and love spending my free time caring for animals. While my weekday schedule is limited due to classes and work, I’m fully available on Fridays and weekends and would be happy to dedicate that time to pet care. I look forward to meeting new pets and giving them the attention they deserve! Since I care for pets in their own homes, I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I stick to their usual routine—whether that means walks, meals, playtime, or meds—whatever they need to feel at ease. I know how important it is to have someone you trust in your home, so I’m always respectful of your space and do my best to leave things just as I found them (or better!). I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured while you're away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and try to make the time you're gone as stress-free as possible for both of you.
“Carolina has provided me the best experience I’ve ever had on Rover! She is incredibly considerate and thorough. She brought her own treats and a towel to wipe my dogs wet feet after the rain. My dog seems to love her already and I will absolutely request her services again!”

About: As a dog lover and proud pet parent, I know how important it is for pups to feel loved, safe, and active. I enjoy going for runs and would be happy to take energetic dogs along for exercise and fun. With my background as a CNA, caring for others is second nature to me and that compassion extends wholeheartedly to animals. Helping pets feel happy, healthy, and loved is truly my joy. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to focus on your pets. I love staying active, so your energetic pups can enjoy long walks or even runs with me to burn off that happy energy. I treat every pet like family by following their routine, prioritizing their safety, and providing plenty of attention, exercise, and photo updates while you’re away.
“I was super nervous leaving my dog with someone, but Lacie was super responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures! Kai seemed to love her! Will definitely be booking again in the future :)”


About: Caring for dogs since age 10, I grew up fostering pets and have experience with dogs, cats, and different personalities, providing loving, attentive, reliable care. I am available for Rover pet care services on most days of the week with a flexible and reliable routine. I can provide care in the mornings, mid-day, and evenings from Monday through Tuesday and Thursday through Sunday, making it easy to meet pets’ feeding, exercise, and companionship needs throughout the day. On Wednesdays, I am available in the morning and evening but unavailable during the afternoon, so care on that day would be adjusted to ensure pets receive attention before and after that time. I prioritize safe, respectful, and reliable care when looking after pets in their owner’s home. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, and daily routines, to ensure pets feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I also take great care to keep the home secure by locking doors, monitoring pets closely, and preventing any potential escape or hazards. Cleanliness is important to me, so I maintain tidy feeding areas, litter boxes, and living spaces while ensuring anything unsafe is kept out of reach. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being, watching for any signs of stress or illness and keeping owners updated with regular communication. Above all, I respect each home and its rules, providing a calm, safe, and loving environment so pets can feel happy and secure in their familiar space.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine care for pets. I understand that dogs are part of the family, and they deserve plenty of attention, love, and proper care. I treat every pet with the same kindness, respect, and affection that I would give my own. I’ve grown up around a wide variety of dogs, from tiny breeds to giant breeds, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Because I love animals so much, I also understand how difficult it can be to trust someone else with both your home and a beloved family member. That’s why I make it my priority to put both the homeowner’s and the dog’s needs first. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being treated with the highest level of care while you’re away. I am currently available most days of the week and have a very flexible schedule. While my availability may change slightly as the summer progresses, I will always communicate any scheduling updates in advance. At the moment, I am generally available Monday through Sunday and can accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and maintaining the pet’s normal routine. I make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and any care instructions are followed exactly as provided by the owner. I am knowledgeable about dog safety and always stay alert during walks. If I notice a potential issue, such as an aggressive or uncontrolled dog nearby, I am quick to create distance and avoid situations that could lead to conflict. I pay close attention to my surroundings and make decisions with the dog’s safety in mind at all times. I also understand that every dog is different, so I adapt my care to their personality, energy level, and needs. My goal is to help them feel comfortable and secure while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is being cared for responsibly and attentively.
About: I have experience with dogs of all ages and all sizes, including puppies and seniors. I have done medicine administration for dogs, fed, walked, played, and cared for dogs as long as I remember. I currently work a part time day job in Minneapolis, I do make my own hours at my job. When I’m not at work I am a single mom, and my daughter is 10 and we are very flexible with time I will accommodate to anything you request for your pet, I will give daily updates and pictures for every visit and will always follow the rules you have set for your home and pet.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. I grew up with both and had a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or a cozy companion while you’re away, I’m here to help! I provide attentive, loving care and will treat your pet like my own. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your furry friend! I kindly request to care for only non-reactive dogs. I work from home a few days a week and am home most weekends. I’d love to have some furry friends to join me! I’m open for midday walks on my work from home days and am open to evening walks most days. I don’t currently have any pets of my own so your pet will get my full attention. I do have a 6 year old who loves animals and will play too! I can crate your pet, if that’s preferred and will give them time outside on a leash.
About: I have had animals in my household my whole life. I have had both cats and dogs since I was a young child, so I know the love and care that goes into providing a great environment for your furry friend! I am very patient and understanding and will give unconditional love to any cat or dog! I live in a nice neighborhood so I would like to take dogs for walks multiple times a day or play in my big backyard with them! I am a teacher in White Bear, and I would be able to take your dog for a walk before and after school to make sure they are able to get their energy out! I currently do not have any other pets in my home so all of my care an attention will go into caring for your pet. My apartment has a big back yard for dogs to run around and play in, and a quiet neighborhood to go for walks. I am also close to many parks where I could bring a dog to play or walk!
About: I love dogs and have had a dog most of my life, growing up and as an adult! I grew up with a smaller dog (Shit Zhu). Currently we have one female Labradoodle; we lost our 15 y.o lab mix in fall of 2025 so Daisy loves having friends to come over to stay! We are an active family and spend a lot of time outside. I have 2 teenage kids age 15 and 17. They are also dog lovers and are very helpful with pet care. If needed, the kids can give your pet space too. I have good awareness of pet behaviors, can read your dog’s comfort level and can provide space as needed. We would love to host your dog at a nurturing and calm environment with plenty of walks! I currently work full time daytime hours in healthcare. I have 2 kids who are around before and after school most days to visit with dogs and let them out. I own a home with a tie out for bathroom breaks. Dogs will also get regular walks and playtime in the home with my 2 friendly dogs and my active family! I only take one Rover guest at a time but if you have 2 dogs in your family that both need care, please ask. Exceptions may be made.
About: I have been obsessed with dogs of all kinds my entire life. I had a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Riley when I was a child. Once I was out on my own, I got a Long-Haired Miniature Dachshund, Kirby, that just passed away last March after 14 years of being by absolute Best Friend. I have been a pet sitter for friends and family and absolutely love it. I have tons of Love to give and your dog deserves all of the care and attention you would give them even if you have to be away. I would love it if you trusted me to care for your best friend. I really miss my Best friend Kirby. I live in a dog friendly apartment with a fenced dog park behind the building. My job is located next door to my apartment complex. I am able to walk home to check on, let out, and walk a dog I am sitting. I work Monday through Friday from 6am to 2pm as a Medical Assistant for over 10 years. I am very active and love taking walks. There are many trails in my area that I am very familiar with and look forward to exploring with your dog. I have a Fenced Dog Park at my apartment complex. I am located near many parks and trails to take walks and explore. I have no problem with dogs on my couch or bed. I love snuggling and petting dogs of all breeds and cannot wait to make some new dog friends.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arden Hills
Ava was really amazing. She was very professional, and above all she was very thoughtful, kind and caring with our senior with special needs dog. She met with us prior to our scheduled drop ins so she was familiar with Cole’s needs and routines. She was an exceptional communicator, sending pictures and updating us with how things were going, and very understanding with our shy senior dog. We would highly recommend her and definitely look forward to using her again!

Kristyn did such a wonderful job! We needed someone to come in for drop in visits and throw the ball with our dog and just give him some love. It was very last minute booking and she was able to meet with us and our dog the night before. She was quick to respond and sent adorable pictures of our dog. Thank you, Kristyn!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Arden Hills stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Arden Hills choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Arden Hills with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
