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!
“Lucy is a very kind person, and my dogs love her. She comes and walks them twice a week when I’m busy with school and they are SO happy to get to spend some time outside with her. She sends photos and gives me little updates on them, and it makes me feel better about leaving my big, grown up babies.”
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.
“Highly recommend Heidi!! This was our first time leaving our two dogs without a family member to take care of them and she kept them happy and very well cared for. I appreciated her detailed notes after each visit and felt I had left my dogs in very good and capable hands.”
“It was a pleasure to have Patricia take care of my cat again. She was up for whatever my cat was in the mood for whether it was playtime, pets, or treats. Patricia followed all instructions and went above and beyond for my cat. I highly recommend her and plan on rebooking in the future.”
“This was the 2nd time I hired Claire to come in & help with my cats. She's thorough & very sweet. I'll gladly hire Claire again when the need arises. Thank you Claire!”
“Stephanie is a very knowledgeable pet owner so took great care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat. She was great in her communication before and during our care period, Will for sure use her again!!”
“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!!”
About: I have grown up and been around pets for the past 15 years. I love animals and have done dog walking/care for friends and family. It is fun being able to bond with animals of different ages and personalities! I am currently in school and have an ever changing schedule but still have a lot of spare time and am willing to work around things. I want your pets to be as comfortable as possible! Whether that’s hanging out or running around, I will care for your pet like my own.
About: I have my own little dog that I take care of, and I am excited to take care of more. I am care giver at a health care center. Right now I am working on call as a nursing assistant in Apple Valley. I make my own schedule therefore I am free different days of the week. 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 😂
“Kristin took great care of my two cats while I was gone! She followed all instructions very well and did a great job administering an inhaler to my cat with asthma which is not an easy task!”
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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burnsville
Evelyn has been absolutely wonderful taking care of Yoko. She consistently checked in, kept me updated, and communicated with me throughout the entire time I was away. As someone who worries a lot about leaving my cat for several days, Evelyn gave me complete peace of mind. Knowing that Yoko was being cared for by someone so reliable, attentive, and compassionate made all the difference. I truly appreciate the care and attention she provided, and I always felt reassured that Yoko was in great hands. Evelyn is someone I can count on without hesitation, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
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!!
Pickles was well cared for by Stephanie. She let my cat be comfortable with interactions, using treats to reassure her. I received updates each day on her food intake and litter box usage. I will be booking Stephanie again. Stephanie was understanding and flexible with my weather delayed departure.
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.
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 .
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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
