About: I have grown up with dogs in the household while I currently do not have any dogs due to my two cats and living in a rental that doesn’t allow any more than two pets. I love dog sitting for my friends and family when they go out of town! I have worked with small to large dogs, dogs with special medication need's, dogs with behavioral issues/needs and puppies. I currently work from home Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday anywhere between 8 AM to 7 PM depending on my work schedule it changes weekly but I’m more then flexible it fit in walks or drop in visits. My weekends normally consist of just relaxing at home so I thought why not look into helping people with their beloved pets in the evening and on Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately, with my two cats living in a townhome rental, I won’t be doing services in my home, however, if I dog sit in your home I will make sure that your pet gets all the correct meals needed, on time medication‘s if needed, and plenty of play times and cuddles with walks throughout the day or as requested!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and needs. I grew up in a family that always had dogs, and caring for them has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Today, I share my home with two wonderful dogs—a Cocker Spaniel and a Bulldog—who keep life fun, active, and full of love. Over the years, I've gained experience raising two puppies of different breeds, giving me a strong understanding of puppy care, training consistency, socialization, and the patience that young dogs need as they grow and learn. I've also cared for senior dogs, including administering medications and accommodating age-related mobility and health needs. In addition, I have experience working with special-needs and disabled dogs, and I understand the importance of providing compassionate, individualized care tailored to each dog's unique situation. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I'll make sure they receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, secure, and loved—just like they do with you. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing the same level of care I would want for my own pets! I am currently not working a set schedule so I have plenty of time for all of your pet care needs! I can do house sitting, dog walking and drop ins on any day of the week. When I stay in someone’s home to care for their pet, I will treat it with the upmost respect, leaving it better than I found it. I am clean, respectful and responsible.
“Ann is a fantastic cat sitter. She did a really good job taking care of my cat. I’d definitely work with her again, as she sent plenty of photos and great updates. I also loved that she dropped off an envelope with a nice message in it and a cat toy. 10/10 would highly recommend booking with her.”
About: If you hire me, upon request, I will do a free cartoon portrait of your pet(s)! I am an artist, but I am an animal lover before anything else and will make sure your baby is in good care. I have had dogs of my own my whole life, and have taken care of other’s as well with walking and overnight/check in sitting. I do have experience with taking care of cats and other animals, too! My whole life revolves around animals and pets, while I’m watching yours my number one goal will be to keep them safe, happy, cared for and comfortable! I’m currently pet sitting as my main source of income, so I’m more than ready to spend all my time taking care of your pet! I am available any day of the week at any time. I will adjust to imitate your care-style so you and your pets are comfortable. Otherwise, I am more than happy to do the basics, spend my time playing and taking care of the essentials (feeding, walking, bathroom breaks, etc) with your pet.
About: I became a dog lover when I was 6 and my family got our first bulldog Rufus (best dog breed in my opinion). I’ve taken care of my own dog and friends and family members’ dogs that have come in all different breeds and sizes. I have availability all throughout the week and can accommodate whatever time works best for you. I just graduated college, so I’m doing dog care while I look for a job. I will listen to your pet’s body language to make them as comfortable as possible when meeting them and assure that they are safe and secure before leaving.

About: I have worked at dog boarding facilities as well as a pet store that housed cats for the humane society. I have years of personal experience with all kinds of animals.

I have experience with safely walking and handling reactive dogs and animals as well as building trust with all animals I come into contact with.

About: I have a range of experience from fur babies to some reptiles (specifically frogs and toads). My family currently consists of a little pup and two fire-bellied toads. I work from home and my schedule is flexible; so I can easily adapt to your little ones routine for feed times, play time, and potty breaks. I like to provide a calming presence and enrichment for pets. From a soothing cuddles to engaging in play, I feel it’s important to give them what they need in the moment.
About: Having 10+ years of professional and personal experience with animals, I have worked with a wide range of furry friends from dogs to chinchillas. I love taking dogs on fun and constructive walks with some leash training, teaching pets how to play properly while having a blast, and just getting to know each animal individually. I enjoy taking my dogs to trails and swimming holes, it’s a great workout for us both plus always a fun time. I have experience working with dogs of all nature from puppies to elderly dogs who may need medication, as well as any size dog. I am dedicated to giving your pets the love and care they deserve! I currently have a part time job from 9am-2pm M-F so early mornings or anytime after 2pm is preferred for dog walks and pet drop ins. When pet sitting/boarding, we go on a long morning walk along with breakfast and then 2-3 more potty breaks after 2pm. I usually feed dinner around 6pm unless otherwise specified. When staying in my clients’ homes, I never leave their pets out of eyesight (unless necessary) and we go on potty breaks about every 5 hours unless otherwise specified. Depending on the pet & weather, we go on 1-2 walks per day. They will be fed according to their usual feed schedule and constantly have fresh water. Of course, treats and cuddles are encouraged as well!
About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs and you will receive tons of pictures throughout the day! We have flexible jobs where we can work from home so your dog will always have someone to hang out with. Our house has a very large fenced in backyard where the critters can run around and chase all the rabbits and squirrels out. Your pup will have full access to the entire house including all of the furniture and beds. Please let me know if you would like to set up a meet and greet to ensure that all our furry critters get along. We basically schedule our days around dogs and their daily needs. Just let us know what their routine is and we will stick with what they’re used to. My husband and I both work hybrid/remote and someone will always be home with the dogs to hang out with them, let them out, etc.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burnsville
Melissa is exceptionally caring and had a wonderful approach with our Great Dane, Kota. She left the perfect level of details after each of her visits and was thoughtful about our dogs knee (recovering from surgery) while still giving her plenty of time to play. Our dog was clearly comfortable and happy to see Melissa each visit- which is saying a lot for an anxious pup! Could not recommend Melissa more highly!!
Rachel is very sweet to Charlie! She scheduled a meet and greet for us before her first drop in visit, so she could meet Charlie and I could show her all of his things. On her visits, she sent photos of Charlie on his walk and played fetch and hang out with him for the whole 30 minutes. She brings such a calming presence for my high energy doggo! She is awesome!
Geshanna was fantastic and treated Duke like he was her own, the entire long weekend we required her services. Sent many pictures and videos of her with Duke, and was incredibly communicative the entire time we were away. We WILL be having her take care of Duke again if we are away, and I will do everything in my power to recommend and referred her to as many people as I can! If I could rate her more than 5 stars I would!

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 Burnsville 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.
