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 currently work full time during the week so I am available in the evenings from 6 pm-11 pm and all day on the weekends. 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.
“Keith is wonderful! We use him for drop in visits & he is great with our dogs. He sent a few pictures & checked in during his visit. My family & I (including our dogs) are so happy we found him!”
About: I have taken care of my dogs and other dogs for 26 years. I love dogs. They are so happy to see us and love on us. I have not been trained but I love to train dogs. I really enjoy being a dog walker, it brings me so much joy! I would love to make dog walking my full time job! I am avaliable for daily and or weekly dog walks anytime! I can't wait! Although I would love to have dogs in my own home, I can not have animals in my home because of the condo rules and regulations. When I move into a home some day I would love to have dogs over!
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’ve cared for several, high-energy, hunting dogs for the past 10 years and grew up with a dog too. From puppies to adults and senior too. These are my and my husband’s babies and I will treat your pets with the same respect and care as I would my own. I work a full-time job that is three, 12-hour shifts a week and every third weekend. The days vary every week. I will be available almost all day on my free days. Every pet is different and requires different needs. I care for them individually and respectfully to make them happy and comfortable. Exercise is important too and I make sure they get their fair share of exercise too.
“Ann is just the best for house sitting and cat sitting, she is super responsive and goes above and beyond if there were unexpected things that just popped up. We are so appreciative!”
“Anna was an exceptional dog sitter for our senior cavapoo! She was extremely caring and trustworthy! We never worried at all while we were away. We loved her communication! She was very thorough and sent us the cutest pictures of our dog and notes to match of how she was doing when she came to visit her. We will absolutely call Anna again!”
About: Home full-time, active outdoors person, and love making dogs a part of my lifestyle! I have a young golden retriever who loves companions and is good with dogs of all sizes, and older one who is slightly more selective, but we stay very active! I will love your pet as my own, give them all the love, attention and activity they need. I will cater to you and your pet's needs to make you feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I currently work remote and on my own schedule - so drop-ins and dogs walks can fit well into my flexible schedule. I rise with the sun and like to stay active during the day! Like my own. They will be well cared for, well exercised and I’ll be sure to provide interaction, play and stimulation while you are away!

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: 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.
“Our first time using Jaci and she was wonderful! We needed someone last minute and she helped us out! Even tho we couldn’t meet before hand, I felt totally comfortable having her in our home to take care of our girls! Will definitely use her again!”
About: I work from home full time and have the capability and desire to have a cuddly fur baby around, snuggles, walks and lots of love a must. I like watching 1 dog at a time but if they are from the same family, please feel free to reach out if there are 2. I am able to be flexible. Since I work from home full time I am available to watch your fur baby during the day, night, boarding and on weekends if needed I would take them on walks when I could during the day, snuggles, some play time and rest when needed. Plenty of food and water, no fenced in back yard.
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.
“Anika was great! She braved the snow to come and meet my Great Dane the evening prior to her drop-in visits. She was not at all intimidated by my 150 lb dog's thorough assessment of her upon her arrival. Her follow through and communication were terrific. I returned home to a happy, healthy, safe pet and could enjoy my time away without concern. I highly recommend Anika!”

Samantha is a godsend. She watched FIVE dogs in my home (3 of mine, 2 of my grandmothers) and they are a LOT. They get stressed when we leave and have accidents, one is skittish, and everybody was getting into each others food and Samantha makes sure everyone gets what they need. I never worry about the dogs when they are in her care despite the fact they can be hooligans. Thank you Samantha!!
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Burnsville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Burnsville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burnsville. On Rover:

- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
