About: I have always been an animal lover. I enjoy being outside and getting exercise, and love four-legged companions to keep me going! I am patient and kind. I have worked at a vet clinic for 9 years. I am consistent and reliable. I have reliable transportation. I can cater to each dog and cat based on their needs, wants, age, limitations, etc. I have yet to find an animal I don't love, and enjoy helping others and keeping costs low. I know boarding can get expensive, so hopefully I can alleviate some of the financial strain while keeping your pet happy! Recent grad from the college of veterinary medicine at the university of Minnesota. I have worked at the vet clinic at the U for 9 years and volunteer and foster for a rescue that takes in senior cases. I will follow any and all rules to keep your pet happy and healthy. I can walk pets on a leash, observe in a fenced in area, or play inside.
“Natalie was fantastic. We used her for a drop in visit so the dogs didn't have such a long day by themselves. She sent a nice update and some pictures. It was all greatly appreciated!”
“This was our first experience using Rover. Thank you for making it so easy. Macy S was the best! She was so polite and conscientious. She sent the cutest pictures of our cats warming up to her and it made us feel relieved they were safe so we could enjoy our time away from them. Overall very positive experience. Would use Rover again.”
About: I have always loved being around dogs! I had a pup in my family for about 5 years when I was younger. Other than him I enjoy my family and friend’s dogs. I love taking them out for potty breaks and walks. I have house/dog sat multiple times for my family members. Treats are my love language and I never mind cleaning up accidents! I currently work full time but I get done with my days around noon. My schedule can be flexible if I get noticed ahead of time. I also travel for work. It’s not often but I will give a good heads up! Dogs will always be on a lease with me, unless trusted in a dog park. I take child and others safety seriously when it comes to public interactions.
“Cindy is an absolute pleasure to work with. I can tell she adores our cats. She shares wonderful updates and we feel so much better knowing she is going to show our cats affection while we are out of town.”
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: About Me Hi! We are lifelong animal lovers with many years of experience caring for dogs. We currently have two playful terrier mixes who absolutely love meeting new dog friends. They enjoy running around the yard and playing—but are just as happy to relax and lounge around the house. Our Home We have a very dog-friendly home where pups truly get spoiled. Our dogs are welcome on the couch and even sleep in the bed with us, and your dog will be treated exactly the same! Whether your pup prefers walks, backyard playtime, or being lazy and cuddly, we’re happy to follow their routine. Family & Environment We do have children in the home, and they are gentle, respectful, and love dogs just as much as we do. Our yard is fully fenced, and we have kennels and baby gates available if needed—your dog’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. What You Can Expect Your dog will be cared for as if they were part of our family. Plenty of attention, lots of love, and a fun, safe environment to play and relax. We can’t wait to welcome and spoil your fur baby! 🐾💛 We both work Full time, and would be around in the early mornings, and then back in the evening for walks, and playtime. Your pup will be in the house with our two dogs, while at work. Fully Fenced in yard, plenty of space to burn energy. Crate available if preferred to sleep or be in while we are at work. Toys, treats, and snuggles!
About: Been taking care of animals since I was a little kid. Dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, hamsters, snakes, turtles, pet fish. Eventually I hope to open a bigger home boarding practice ❤️ They will spending with me while I work from my room. After work will be park time. They will be walked at least once a day, if not more. 😊👍 Currently I live in a condominium, there is a small dog park right outside the complex. Nice trails for walks and exercise. I also am able to trim your dog's hair upon request. 😊👍
“Keeli was fantastic! Friendly and the dogs loved her. Actually my daughter loved her too, when she came over for the meet and greet my daughter immediately tried to get her to color with her 😆 Keeli helped us out during a holiday week, and while traveling with young kids was so stressful, it was so nice knowing we had such a great person taking care of our dogs that we didn’t have to worry about the dogs. Would gladly book her again for our pups.”
About: *PLEASE READ* If you are booking for house-sitting and looking to have me stay in your home, I would need to bring my dog with! I grew up with dogs in my house from a very young age, and I now have a sheepadoodle of my own! I am very familiar with feeding/potty schedules, accident cleanup, play, and rest! I love taking dogs out for walks and playing with toys! I am able to care for multiple dogs and will give them all of the love and attention that they deserve! Please do not hesitate to message me with any questions! I primarily work from home, so I am able to give your pets ample attention, walks, and potty breaks! I also have a dog of my own, so pet care is constantly on my mind! I care for other pets the same way I care for my own, with love and respect. I am able to follow any/all care instructions and will keep you updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures.
“Back-to-back-to-back bookings with Abby! She is the best. If you’re still shopping for a pet sitter and Abby is available…do yourself a favor, and stop shopping! :)”
“Our dogs are happy when we leave so they can have their BFF Sharron come to play! Wipes away the guilt of being away when they feel like they’re on their own vacation.”
About: I’ve had all sorts of animals in my life and always have enjoyed the love and care an animal is able to give us! My dad and I had an amazing black lab, Willie, while I was growing up. When Willie got older, I helped with some of his senior care such as changing his diapers. My dad and I also had two guinea pigs while I was in high school, they were so fun and I loved how much personality they had. My mom was in the Southern area of the states for about a year, and ended up coming back to Minnesota with two cats and moved in with me! I partner with my mom for their every-day care (feeding, cleaning litter box, cutting nails) often. I have also cat-sat for my friend, whose kitty had just gotten several teeth removed - so she needed some oral medications while I was caring for her. This included pill and syringe medications. As for pets that are solely my own, I have a 5-year-old horse named Atlas that I purchased after graduating from college. He has been such an amazing learning experience and I appreciate our partnership so much. I also recently adopted a third cat for our home, Marvin, who is a tripod kitty. It’s been amazing seeing him getting more comfortable in our home. I currently work full-time, and have a bit of a varying schedule day-to-day but am often out of the house for 8+ hours a day. For this reason I’m unsure if house-sitting dogs would be a great fit for my weekday schedule unless they were close by to my work, where I could stop by during my lunch and give them a potty break. Otherwise could totally do weekends! My work schedule typically hasn’t been obstructive to cat care, unless the cat is fed in small portions more than twice a day. Then, I may need to stop in during my lunch break - or find another way to split their feedings appropriately. I strive to care for any pet just as their owner would. I do know some animals are wary of strangers and I will respect your pet’s boundaries - so if they seem shy or nervous about me, I will absolutely give them space. If an animal is social and excited, I am more than happy to give pets, cuddle, and play! Additionally, more than happy to clean up any litter boxes (cats) or outside excrement (dogs).
About: I have years of experience taking care of dogs from all ranges of mobility, energy, size, and needs. Last year my puppy passed from bone cancer and with that came an extensive medicine regimen. I am comfortable giving medication and providing extra care for those senior dogs. I also have history with enrichment activities and playtime for those pups with extra energy. I am currently pursing my M.A. in English Literature at St. Thomas. I have class two days a week in the evening, but when I am not doing that I am either doing Fellowship work or am hanging out with my friends and their pets! My family has had pets in all locations from small backyards, to expansive acres, to a two bedroom apartment. I am comfortable navigating care and safety in all in environments to ensure your pet returns back to their home.

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!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Arden Hills is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 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.

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.
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. 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.
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 .
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.

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.

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.
