“Whitney was absolutely wonderful with our four cats! They have a few extra needs, including medications and one who needs to be kept separate from the others, and Whitney handled everything so attentively and confidently. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for, gave them plenty of attention and pets, and even fixed our microchip feeders when they were giving us trouble. She was incredibly sweet, kind, and communicative throughout her visits, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cats and their individual needs. We would absolutely hire Whitney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I've been around dogs since I was little, and with what I do for work, I have a lot of experience with all kinds of breeds and levels of energy! My dogs are my life, and coming home to my them is the best part of my day! I love taking them to the dog park, and working on casual training! I have a fenced yard, and I live on a cul-de-sac in an area not too close to many busy roads. My dogs are fed once in the morning and once in the evening, and are let outside more times per day than I can count. Playtime is a must, and my girls love tug! If I care for a pet in another home, I love details and preferences, so as to make the pet sitting experience more comfortable for pets and owners.
“Elizabeth did a great job with our pup! She kept us updated the entire time with lots of details and pictures. It was comforting knowing Elizabeth was treating Bo like her own while we were away. She approached separation anxiety with nothing but compassion and patience. Thank you Elizabeth for such a great experience!! :)”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals, including large dogs and cats. I can do medications and walks with no problem. I work from home so I can be available all day. I work remotely so I can be around all day. I typically get up around 6:30 and go to bed around 10:30 or 11. I can let animals out and walk them during the day. I have roommates with animals, so I am unable to board animals, but I can drop in to let animals out and walk them or stay and house sit.
About: I live in a comfortable, pet-friendly home with a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely get some fresh air, play, and zoomies! 🐶🌿 I have a friendly dog and cat of my own, so my home is already set up with pets in mind. I’m happy to keep pets separated when needed and will follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible.

I also have friendly pets of my own, with the ability to separate them when needed. For cats, I have a cozy catio in an all-season porch with large windows for a safe, dedicated space to relax. I also have three different-sized crates for kennel-trained dogs if needed. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, provide walks, meals, playtime, medication, and plenty of attention while keeping your home and pets safe and comfortable. 🐾

I will try to get to know your pet as best I can. I am flexible and willing to snuggle, play, go on walks or look out the window with your furry friend. If I am ever watching pets in my own home I have a very friendly 30 lb terrier mix that loves to play with other dogs.

About: Introduction Hi! My name is Lori and I LOVE ALL ANIMALS! I am recently retired and I always said that when I had time, I'd spend my days helping animals, however possible. I am so excited to finally be in a place where I can make that happen! If you would help me get my new focus started, I'll offer you a $20 discount and I will treat your pet like family! I’m an experienced pet caregiver with over 40 years of hands-on time caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, and a genuine passion for ensuring pets feel happy and at home while their families are away. I have a special spot in my heart for senior dogs and cats but I also love puppies and kittens, and everything in between! I've cared for my own dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, and birds for over 40 years, so I understand the daily routines, quirks, and needs of all kinds of companions. I'm especially attuned to dogs and cats—I read their body language exceptionally well and know what they're "saying. "For example, a slow blink from a cat is their way of saying "I love you," while a soft "mee mee" often means "come here." With dogs, I always approach respectfully: letting them sniff my open palm first (never reaching over their head, as it can feel dominant), then gently petting the shoulder and down the side. Energy matters so much—staying calm, happy, and positive helps even anxious pets relax quickly. I have a whole "warehouse" of these insights from years of close observation, and I love using them to build trust and joy. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely excited to care for your pets as if they were my own. I'll play with them, give plenty of love and cuddles, follow your instructions to a T, and make sure they feel at home. Being away from your furry family is tough—I get it, and I'll do my best to keep things feeling normal and happy for them (and send you lots of updates and pictures so you can see for yourself!). I can provide most of the same loving care as other sitters—feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, toy fun, and house check-ins—but due to some mobility limits, I focus on shorter, gentle walks (up to about 15 minutes) or indoor/outdoor potty time and enrichment instead of longer neighborhood strolls. This works wonderfully for calmer dogs, seniors, smaller breeds, or cats who prefer cozy companionship. I'm happy to adapt to your pet's energy level and needs! I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! What I'll need from you Age, personality/behavior, feeding routine and amounts, typical daily schedule, house rules, any favorite toys/treats, if they can have people food, medical needs, and anything else that helps me care for them just the way you do. No strong breed preferences—I'm happy with all! Let's Get Started! Availability I'm generally flexible and can arrange visits to fit your pet's schedule—morning, midday, evening, and bedtime routines. I can do drop-in visits, overnight sitting (if selected), or daily check-ins to ensure they're fed, pottied, loved, and happy throughout the day. A typical day We'll start with feeding, fresh water, and a gentle potty break or short walk if your pet enjoys it. Then lots of playtime with toys, gentle petting and interaction based on their cues, maybe some training games or just relaxing together. I'll refill water as needed, clean up any messes, and give plenty of love and attention. Everything will be done with your preferences in mind, plus updates and photos for you!
“Macy was awesome. My usually shy cats warmed up to her and she sent pictures every day. Their food and water were full when I got home. She even brought my mail and an Amazon package in for me. Would definitely hire again. Thanks, Macy!!”
“We were so glad Katherine could come back to care for our sweet kitty. She is a great support when we are out of town! Always communicative and thorough with updates. Definitely recommend!”
About: I grew up with a love for animals and loved learning and gaining experience with different animals. Growing up, my neighborhood had an issue with a large feral cat population. With a big family and a three bedroom apartment, we didn’t have much room to take them in. However, my siblings and I took it upon ourselves to take care of them as best as we could. In high school, my love for animals encouraged me to get a pet crested gecko that I kept for almost 2 years before rehoming him when I moved into my college dorm. Currently, I work Friday-Sunday so my availability those days will be after 6pm only. I attend classes Monday-Thursday, but my schedule is very flexible those days. My love for animals has taught me many different facts and safety tips around pet care. I also have lots of expertise with calming animals, especially cats, in high stress situations to ensure safety.
“Lacie did an amazing job with lenny. She befriended him instantly, gave him lots of love and gave me lots of updates, pictures, and videos. 10/10 would recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 25 years. Friends and family have relied on me to check in with and care for their pets. Walking my dog is a highlight of my day, I would love to be able to take your dog for long walks too! I’m a stay at home mom, and with the kids going back to school will have some flexibility to shower your pets with attention! I am reliable and responsible, and would love to be trusted to drop in and feed, water, potty, groom and clean up after your pet.
About: Hi, my name is Mark. I love meeting people's pets of all kinds. I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I also have a master's degree in behavioral science. My combination of lived experience and knowledge of behavioral science uniquely equips me to care for your animals in a kind and gentle manner, while still being responsible and reliable. These skills prepare me to help relax and de-escalate with anxious animals. I have a job which is flexible with my schedule, including working from home and choosing my own hours, which allows me more time with pets! I have a back yard with a fence that my senior dog can play in, as well as many parks nearby my home in Roseville.
About: I've cared for dogs and cats for over 20 years and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive, and I'll treat your dog with the same kindness and care I'd want for my own pet. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a slower pace, or extra encouragement, I'm happy to tailor each visit to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your best friend is doing. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I've chosen to dedicate my weekends to it. By limiting my availability to weekends, I can give each dog my full attention and provide dependable, unhurried care. I only accept bookings I know I can commit to, so every walk is reliable, personalized, and never rushed. When caring for your dog, I'll always follow your routine and preferences. Whether that means using a specific leash or harness, reinforcing good walking habits, or taking a favorite route, I'll make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own, making sure doors are secure, water bowls are refreshed if needed, and your pet is settled before I leave. After each visit, I'll send an update with photos so you know exactly how your dog's walk went.
“Lucia did amazing with our three cats, we’ve never had a sitter before and it went so much better than expected. Two of our cats get medications every day and she handled it wonderfully!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arden Hills
My dog Pepper loved Tyler. Being a Patterdale Terrier she can sometimes be "distant" to new people but the images Tyler included in the Rover card taken during his walks with her show she was enjoying his company. Tyler was reliable and felt totally relaxed know he was taking care of her.
Cari did a great job during a drop in with Honey! She was able to let her out twice and get her to take her meds even though she is anxious and wary of people coming into the house. Cari is a great communicator too! I would definitely recommend her and plan to use her again.
Another great experience with Amanda! We have a new rescue Corgi with some quirks and Amanda came every day during our vacation for walk/potty breaks and did a great job getting to know Reggie. She was flexible when it was too hot or smokey and just spent time with him in the yard, which was wonderful! She sent detailed updates and great pictures so I know he was well taken care of!
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!

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.

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.
