“Jenn did a great job of handling a challenging situation with one of my cats while I was away. Her clear communication and photos were so helpful. I appreciate her understanding, capable, and confident care of my cats. Thanks again Jenn!”
“My boyfriend and I had Ed watch our cat and dog while we were traveling, and Ed was nothing but professional, knowledgeable, and flexible in working with us to meet our pet's needs. Ed clearly enjoys being with animals, and naturally spoils your pets like they are his own. Highly recommend Ed to anyone, as myself and my boyfriend anticipate asking for his assistance in the future!”
“Teresa was an excellent pet sitter for our two dogs. She is warm and responsive. She communicated regularly with photos and texts, followed all directions and anticipated the dogs needs during storms and fireworks. So glad we had her stay and do stop in visits instead of using the kennel. Our house was left as we left it and she watered my plants.”
About: I volunteer with my local animal rescue. I’ve loved animals my whole life and want nothing more than to keep them healthy and happy :) I work a full time 9-5 job so unfortunately I am only available on weekends and in the evening on weekdays. Otherwise I would have a pet of my own! I have a fenced in yard and a very walkable, safe neighborhood. I have watched friends pets so my house is dog/cat safe even though I don’t have a pet of my own.
“Olivia did a wonderful job with our 2 cats while we were gone for a week. She was on time and always spent time with the cats as well as sending a quick note and pics of them. We will use her again if needed.”
“Autumn was super reliable with her check-ins. Upon returning, our cats were happy, healthy and didn't seem to have missed us at all. I especially loved getting the Rover card with a short summary and photos for every visit. Will definitely book Autumn again!”
“Bec did an awesome job taking care of my high energy kitten while I was out of town for the weekend. She followed all my instructions and most importantly gave him tons of love an attention while I was away. I came home to a very happy kitten :)”
“Adelaide is amazing!! She is so tuned into my dog and her needs and behaviors. Her communication is excellent and her updates truly bring me joy when I’m away. She goes the extra mile to give the best care possible!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and grew up with two schnauzers, which helped me develop a strong love for animals and confidence caring for different personalities and energy levels. I currently have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, so I understand the importance of providing pets with attention, exercise, consistency, and affection. I’m very active, friendly, and dependable, and I enjoy spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dog walking and pet sitting. I am currently working part time, which gives me flexibility and availability during weekdays as well as some weekends for dog walking and dog sitting! I live in a townhome with lots of green outside areas. I have one dog, Honey, who is very friendly and loves other dogs and people!
About: Experience raising a puppy. I cater to pups of all sizes and energy levels. My dog is not in a crate but we did crate train him I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home most days. I anm available for potty breaks, walks, snuggles, or playing fetch. I have a large, unfenced yard but I do have a long lead we can use if necessary. I can use a crate if your dog is crate trained. I’m familiar to and accommodating of specialty diets. Rico and I love walks and running at the dog park down the road!
About: I grew up taking care of our family dogs and cats alongside my parents and siblings. We had 3 Labrador Retriever dogs (two chocolate Labs, one yellow) and two cats. I walked, fed, and played with the Labs, and fed/managed the litter box for the cats. Since graduating high school, I have done pet sitting and walking for dogs and cats of friends and family members I am a stay-at-home mom, so my days consist of baby care and watching pets/doing dog walks for family members and Rover customers! I can either bring my 9-month old with to a walk/drop in visit, or drop her off with dad, depending on the pet’s needs. I can do drop-in visits in your home and take care of whatever needs your pet has. I have reliable transportation, and am open to one-time or repeated scheduling.
About: We are caretakers for all our family and friends fur babies when they need help. For hours or days. We lost our golden doodle to cancer and miss having another dog around but aren’t ready to commit to our own yet. Let us spoil yours! Between the four of us we typically have great flexibility in our schedule. We do work outside of the home so the pups need to be able to withstand 3-4 hours alone. We have a large fenced in yard where they can roam freely or play with balls and sticks or just lay on the sun if they’re lazy 😊
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs and also have experience caring for rabbits and other small pets. As an approved foster for RAGOM (Retrieve a Golden of Minnesota) and a former foster with The Bond Between, I've worked with animals of different ages, personalities, and backgrounds. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust with each pet on their own terms. I love keeping animals happy and engaged through walks, playtime, enrichment activities, training exercises, and plenty of attention. Whether your pet prefers adventure, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs. I've also provided pet-sitting services for coworkers and friends throughout the past year and have recently opened up my schedule to welcome new clients. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care while giving you peace of mind. I'm happy to follow any routines, instructions, or special requests to ensure your pet stays comfortable and stress-free while you're away. I work in Chaska, which allows me flexibility for visits before work, during my lunch break, or after work, and I live in Crystal and am able to travel where needed when not working. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands while you're away. I can stop in to check on pets before work, on a lunch break, or after work Mon-Thurs as I work full time. On Friday's I work 8-12 so I am more available. In the evenings and weekends I am wide open to accommodate any schedule or routine needed. I am able to follow any directions and guidance you give in order to keep your pet safe. Their safety and your peace of mind is my number one goal and I would never put them at risk. I am comfortable taking them out in public if you are comfortable with it, but am also happy to stay home and in your yard if that is your preference :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chanhassen
Kristina is absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond caring for our pets. Our bird, fish, and dog take a lot of time and care throughout the day. I was so relieved to find someone who has experience and knowledge with birds. She also took time to meet the needs of my elderly mom by conversation or small little tasks to assist her. Don't hesitate to book her, she listens to small details. Loved having her and plan to rebook again.
Lindsay is a knowledgeable, attentive and conscientious dog sitter. She communicated as needed and included pictures with each visit. I got maps of her walks and report cards for each visit. Our dogs were clearly relaxed and well cared for. We’ll def be booking again!
Our dog can be very nervous around new people, and has even completely refused to go outside for strangers before, but Hailey got her out in less than 5 minutes! She communicated with us the whole time and even sent some sweet photos of the visit! Can’t wait to have her back!

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 Chanhassen 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 Chanhassen 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 Chanhassen with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
