“Amanda did a great job caring for our three cats who have very different personalities. We really appreciated the visit summaries and photos. Would recommend her to anyone.”
“Tara did a fantastic job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation! She was very attentive and had timely and consistent communication. Will definitely ask Tara to pet sit again, and would recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“Christy is fantastic! She sincerely adores our cats and it comes through in the sweet photos of playtime, pets and care that she so diligently provides at each scheduled visit! My cats are content and doing great when we arrive home, and it’s the best feeling to know she keeps them on their routine (+ with extra playtime!) when we’re away! They’re actually probably excited when we go away now because they know it means the fun cat sitter comes over! Thank you Christy!!”
“Katelyn was awesome. She took care of Sherlock while I was away, and he looked better than when I left. Katelyn was very punctual always showing up when she said she would. I wholeheartedly refer her to anyone who has need of their loved furry one being taken care of while they are gone. Thanks Katelyn!”

About: I have had cats and dogs in my household my entire life, I take care of them at home and also for many neighbors, and they continue to request my services. I love Animals I take car of the pets in our house and enjoy hanging out with them on a daily basis. I watch pets in our neighborhood almost every week as our neighbors have come to enjoy and rely on my pet care services I have watched pets in my home but have additionally visited neighbors and stayed at their home to watch pets overnight. I am comfortable caring for pets in any of these enviroments.
“Anna has been great! We have peace of mind knowing Anna is taking good care of our kitty while we are away. Our kitty gets nervous around new people but quickly warmed up to Anna. She provides us a recap of each visit and pictures which we love and look forward to receiving. She has also been great by bringing in packages that have been left on our doorstep.”

I appreciate your report stating they were both good. Take care and thanks again. Tip processed.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 8 or 9, mostly family dogs to start. I have also house sat for not only family dogs but friends as well. I work at a doggie daycare facility currently, so I am familiar with dog behaviors and care. I currently work full-time in evenings, so that gives plenty of morning time for walks and cuddles. I am available for both boarding and daily care most of my week and always try to be flexible with clients. I love to have animals be as comfortable as they can be in their owners home, whatever that might look like. My goal is to make the clients and dogs as comfortable as possibly while building trust and good relationship.
“Katelyn was great! Her communication was always quick and friendly. She was flexible the day of our outing which we greatly appreciated. She sent lots of great photos and we knew our 4 dogs were well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“anyone that comes in and sits on your kitchen floor to get to know your dog has their best interest at heart!!! I'm so excited to have Abby and Marcus help us in giving Bocce the attention and breaks he deserves!”
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!
“Pamela was fantastic with our two cats! She was always timely in her drop-ins, gave comprehensive updates, and kept our cats happy and entertained. We highly recommend her for anyone else looking for a sitter!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember. Our family dog was the same age as me, so I truly grew up side by side with a pet and learned what it means to care for an animal through every stage of life from the beginning to the end. I started pet sitting for family friends back in junior high, and I grew up helping care for our own cats and dog in my parent’s house. While in college, I had roommates with cats which I enjoyed and would frequently pet sit for my godparents and other friends as well. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and love they need while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of bookings. In the coming weeks, I will be working Monday through Friday from 8:00–4:30, but I will still be available for pet care after work on weekdays, as well as available on weekends. I do my best to be upfront about availability and communicate clearly, so we can find a schedule that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow care instructions closely and make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and well cared for. I keep environments clean, calm, and pet-friendly, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I always aim to create a loving environment where pets feel safe, happy, and at home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arden Hills
Mita is wonderful!!! She took amazing care of my cat while I was out of the country for 2 weeks. My kitty was so happy to have a lap to lay on and be petted everyday. Mita also made sure auto litterbox, feeder, and fountain were kept full and functioning. Her willingness to adjust her schedule to my overseas time difference was great of her. I would absolutely book her again and again.
This is the third time we have worked with Amanda to watch our cat on a prolonged trip. She takes such good care of our kitty. Amanda sends lots of photos, and our cat loves playing with her. Handing off of keys is easy, and she’s extremely flexible. We’ll absolutely work with her again.
We asked Tyler to do a drop-in visit for our three cats while away for the weekend, and he did a great job. Our cats were happy when we arrived home. Litter robot had adequate litter, water fountain and food bowls were full. One of our cats is very shy, he put in effort to find her to know that she’s well but ultimately respected her boundaries and put wet food in a safe space for her. Would definitely recommend tyler to others needing a rover sitter and would love to hire him again! Thanks again
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.
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!

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.
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 .

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
