“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: I’ve been taking care of family friends pets off and on for years and just getting into rover so lemme know if you have any questions I DoorDash right now for work so I’m mainly home but occasionally gone for a few hours. Always start my day with walking my dog and tend to do more walks the better the weather I have a fenced in yard so the dogs to run around and my own dog to play with. Open to specific instructions so just lemme know
About: I am a recent graduate from St. Olaf College, and plan to pursue a doctorate in veterinary medicine after a gap year or two. I've taken care of pets of all sorts for friends, family, and neighbors since I was 10, and cared for my own animals for as long as I can remember. I have worked in a humane society and am comfortable working with all sorts of pets, of all shapes, sizes and ages. I have also worked in commercial kennel settings, with dogs with behavioral issues. I have experience cleaning up messes, providing enrichment, and administering medications, as well as caring for newborn and young puppies. I'm a full time college student who loves to spend my free time with all sorts of animals! I can visit during the day or stay overnights; feel free to reach out to hear more about my availability. I'm happy to keep your pets company in the comfort of their own homes, as well as taking them on any outings they usually enjoy!
“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: 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 will care for your animals the same way you would! Have loved animals my whole life and trying to work with more animals and less people! Work full time M-F in Eagan from 7-4. Flexible schedule throughout the day for jobs. I already have animals so it would fot right in! I am an animal lover and the only danger is over feeding of treats. Will care for your animals how YOU want and follow any instructions or rules
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. Also, we do NOT have a cat. Not sure why Rover shows that we do. My husband and I both work hybrid and someone will always be home with the dogs to hang out with them, let them out, etc. We have a fenced in yard that allows for the dogs to have fun outside. Dogs will have access to all furniture while inside. We can also crate them if needed.
“Alex is awesome!! She is great with my 4-month old Husky pup, and he's always so happy to see her. She sends me pics and updates during her stay!! Alex has a ton of experience with dogs, and it definitely shows. Thanks Alex!”

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.
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.
“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!”
About: As a dog owner of two and lifelong animal lover, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and am familiar with everything from puppy energy to senior dog needs. I enjoy staying active outside and making sure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of affection — including great puppy cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority. I work from home and can work from anywhere so I have almost unlimited flexibility and can’t wait to meet and get to know your oets! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets’ schedules as consistent as possible with regular feeding times, walks, play, and plenty of affection. I know how important familiarity is, so I work to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I treat every pet like one of my own and understand the trust it takes to have someone care for them in your home. I’m respectful of your space, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

One week I could be free everyday and then I next I’m only free for a couple of days. My mom recently got a new fence for the backyard so our dog can roam freely without us having an heart attack that she’s going to run away 😂

Burnsville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sam was great! I needed drop ins for my little dogs while on vacation and she took great care of them. She advocated for the dogs when my house seemed a little cold, sent detailed reports and lots of photos that was much appreciated. Came home to happy pups! Would highly recommend
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!
