“Alma was great with our cats. They were well taken care of while we were away and we were kept up to date with wonderful pictures of them. The only thing I would say to be aware of when choosing Alma is to be very clear if you have a pet that requires food or medication at a specific time as her drop-bys to feed our cats in the afternoon changed day-to-day.”

“Sammy took care of our two cats as if they were her own and it is clear that both of our cats enjoyed her company, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Sammy is extremely friendly, trustworthy, and it’s obvious she is a huge animal lover. During our meet and greet, Sammy sat down on the floor to be at our cat’s level and she connected with our 2 cats very quickly. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you SO much for taking such great care of our cats, Sammy!!”

About: Dogs have been my whole world since I was four years old, and I've been actively caring for them since I was around ten. Now at 25, with over 15 years of hands-on experience, I know what it means to love a pet like family, not just as a pet, but as a real member of your life. I'm a proud fur-parent to Boogie, a rescue pup I adopted at four months old. He's two now, and watching him grow has only deepened how much I care about the life every dog deserves. It's something I think about a lot: our pets are experiencing everything for the very first time, and that's worth honoring. I also volunteer as a temporary foster, which means I'm comfortable meeting animals exactly where they are, whether that's a nervous newcomer or a playful goofball who wants all the attention. I take every walk and drop-in seriously, because I know a mid-day break and a kind, familiar face can make a pet's whole day. My schedule is more flexible than it might look on paper. I work full-time in the office four days a week, typically wrapping up between 3:30 and 4, and I'm always happy to stop by before work, after work, or in between my jobs. I also work part-time some weekday evenings and weekends, but my hours shift week to week, so I'd rather just talk through what works for you and go from there. If you need someone reliable who's willing to figure it out, I'm your person. When you invite me into your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I'm tidy, mindful of your space, and will always leave things exactly as I found them. Your pet's routine matters too. I'll follow whatever instructions you leave, from feeding schedules to favorite toys to the walks they're used to. For walks, I keep a close eye on leash behavior and surroundings, and I'll never push a pet past their comfort zone. I know some dogs need a slow warm-up and others are ready to go the second the leash comes out, and I'm happy to meet them wherever they are that day. You can also expect regular updates while I'm with your pet. I'm happy to send a photo, a quick message, whatever gives you peace of mind while you're away. I know handing over a key and trusting someone with your animal is a big deal, and I don't take that lightly.

About: As an animal lover and pet owner myself I know how stressful leaving your pet in someone else's care can be. As an experienced pet sitter I will ensure that your fur baby receives above and beyond, the love and attention they need while you are away! To help keep your mind at ease, I love sending my clients pictures/ video updates of their pet/s!!! Why me?! [C]attitude I am a very friendly, positive, easy going person that enjoys being outdoors and staying active. I am hard working, reliable and will always show up with a good attitude and ready to spoil your pet! Availability I currently work from home as a Freelance Artist, so my availability in regards to time and attention are quite flexible. I am available for in-home visits and/or walks Monday-Friday 8am-10pm Communication To me, good communication is the key to success! I want to make sure the service I am providing, is relieving any stress you may have about leaving your pet home. To help achieve this I would be happy to provide you with a text or call upon my arrival and/or departure, as well as send you a recap of my walk, check in or day-care. Respect I will always treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect and care. Maintaining the safety, security and trust of your space is something I take very seriously and will absolutely uphold. I do have 2+ years of experience working for a house cleaning company as a Supervisor, where I was in charge of customer keys, access information, lock box/ alarm codes etc. and ensuring every home was properly locked and secure before leaving. Again, maintaining the safety and privacy of your home and its contents will always be a priority. Experience Animals have always been one of my greatest passions in life. Despite not growing up with a dog or even owning one as an adult thus far in my life, I have gained knowledge and experience caring for dogs through dog sitting for various family members and friends over the last several years. Anyone that knows me knows how much I love animals... and that if I am not actively playing, petting or interacting with a pet, I am usually talking about them. Art bonus! I am a freelance artist with a BFA in photography and I also specialize in cut-paper art! The majority of my work is nature and animal based- because that is what I love. I also create one of-a-kind, handcut paper, pet portraits! Feel free to contact me with any questions about getting a custom portrait of your own pet made! I'm a freelance artist with a flexible schedule, so I am available all day for any pet care needs. I walk my own dog daily in rain, snow or shine. I play with my cat multiple times a day, as she demands it. My flexible schedule allows for plenty of spoiling throughout the day for everyone! I live on a quiet cul-de-sac. I have a large fully fenced, private yard with lots of space to run and explore. My dog Maeve gets along well with other dogs and will gladly play chase if that's what your dog enjoys. My cat, Bitta, gets along well with dogs, provided they don't bother her too much. However, she's not shy about letting a pup know when they've crossed the line though she does not have front claws (I did not declaw her!). Our home is quite spacious, allowing us to easily keep the puppies separate indoors if necessary. However, if all the dogs are comfortable with each other, our house is pet-friendly, and that includes allowing them on the couch. As I work from home, I can easily monitor all the animals throughout the day.

About: Our family has been dog crazy every since I can remember. I've pet sit since I was a child and have had family dogs my whole life, both big and small, and love the individualness of every breed. I believe it's important to know about each breed I care for as well as each dog's personality and temperament. I am looking forward to doting on yours! I'm an early riser, so your dog's day starts bright and early with me. I work full time, but my schedule has real flexibility in it, which means I'm around for midday potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins rather than being gone for one long stretch. Daily walks are already part of my routine, and I'm lucky to live near a dog park and plenty of green spaces, so there's always somewhere good to explore. Your dog's health and comfort come first with me. I'm experienced with dogs who need daily or as-needed medications and I'm careful about following your instructions exactly as you give them. Walks are always matched to your dog — a senior who prefers a slow stroll gets a slow stroll, and an energetic pup gets to burn off that energy. My home is a safe place where visiting dogs can relax and feel at ease.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always loved spending time with them. I’m a very active person and enjoy being outside, so I’m more than happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of exercise. I will meet your dog at their level, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy dog or enjoying some chill relaxation together. I can also help with basic training and reinforce good habits. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time as an engineer, but after recently moving to a new state, I’ve been missing having animals around. I decided to join because I’d love to spend time with pets and give them the care and attention they deserve. I’m up early and often up late, and I’m able to check in around lunch during my workday. I’m also available after I get off work at 4 PM, when I can spend more time with your pet, take them for walks, play with them, and give them plenty of attention. On weekends, I’m available all day and can dedicate as much time as needed to caring for your pet. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secure. I’m attentive to your pet’s behavior and needs, and I’ll always prioritize their safety and comfort. I also treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, being mindful of belongings, and leaving everything just as I found it. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

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!

About: I am also a pet sitter on the app TrustedHouseSitters and really enjoy the journey of pet sitting! I grew up LOVING dogs but was never allowed one and only grew up with cats & a bearded dragon of my own, so I would only get the chance to be with dogs when it came to friends having them. As I got older and attained my own place, I took it upon myself to dog sit for my friends, family, and sometimes neighbors. I’ve been doing this for 4 years now, in my home and their homes as well. The longest I have dog sat is for a year for a family friend while they were away in the military. (The dog was untrained and very hard to take care of lol) I have an unconditional love for all animals! I am a fashion model and a brand ambassador, so my work is all very flexible and I get to decide when I will work. When saying in home and taking care of your pet, I will take all the precautions and needs that are to be provided to your pet seriously.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up with two cats and a dog who needed special care in her later years. I adopted 2 cats with FeLV, both having to eventually be put down after years of vet visits and medications. I am comfortable with higher maintenance pets, administering medication, and monitoring their well being. Over the years, I’ve dog sat for neighbors, helped potty train and puppy train my parents’ dog, and even fostered a very sick kitten who couldn’t stay at the shelter. I’ve fostered 2 cats in total, and I’ve had 3 cats in my adult life. These experiences have deepened my love for animals of all kinds and given me the skills to care for pets with different personalities and needs. I currently volunteer at pet haven weekly and plan to continue fostering cats with them. At the shelter I administer many different medications and help cats be comfortable in a not so comfortable setting. I am working full time 7-3:30 but it is flexible and can adjust a little if needed! I don’t have many extracurricular things going on so other than work I am 100% free. I keep an extremely clean environment and am very respectful when I am in a home that is not mine. I have been trusted by many to house and pet sit in the past.

About: I love all animals and owning dogs, a cat and a rabbit myself, working professionally as a kennel hand and trainer, and caring for some other fuzzy friends during my day-to-day makes me a great choice for most of your doggie day (or evening!) care. I spend lots of time at our local dog park and our own back yard exercising my pups. I have experience professionally training working and hunting dogs, and taking care of puppies and elderly dogs. The main thing I hope to achieve with your dog is to have some fun, get myself some extra exercise and hopefully be a good companion for your dog while you’re away If you have any further questions or want references, feel free to message me, thank you! I work a full time job remotely, so I often have free time during the week and during the evenings, especially for house/pet sitting in other’s homes. I like to fill that time with Rover I will be hanging out with your furry friends and try to follow their cues as far as plans go! I do know CPR for dogs and am familiar with injection and other medication administration for both dogs and cats. Any special instructions on how you care for your pets will be followed. Thunderstorm, anxiety, and firework situations are also understandable and can be accommodated. I will comfort them as best as l can! *CONSTANT CARE RATES IE: IF YOUR PET CANNOT BE LEFT ALONE FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME EXCLUDING ANY WALKS, PLEASE INFORM ME PRIOR TO BOOKING/CONFIRMATION

Olivia was great! It's our first time to use Rover, and we're glad we chose the right sitter. Our kitties loved her and one of them showed his belly which is his sign of approval! One of them vomited (which she cleaned up) and she came back that same night on her own initiative to check on them, which was very much appreciated.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Eagan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Eagan is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,788 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Eagan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Eagan. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
