“Perla did a great job looking after our 2 cats while we were away on vacation for 11 days. She took time to send us photos every day and took great care of keeping up on their food/water/litterbox. Our cats are normally very shy and took to her immediately, I will 100% use her services in the future 😊”
“Katherine was so wonderful! Nash can be selective and protective of me and his home, but he warmed up to her quickly and we will definitely be booking for Katherine again!”
“Alma did a great job with our cat! It's so nice to be able to travel with the confidence that your pet will be well taken care of. She was great at communicating and keeping us updated after each visit.”
“Hannah was incredible! She was our first experience with Rover and was able to book a last minute drop in and make time for a meet and greet ahead of time. Hannah really put our mind’s at ease while we were at an event!”
“Heather did absolutely amazing with my pups! I am always nervous about having new people around my pups, but Heather connected with them really well and it was obvious she cared for them. Highly recommend!”
About: I'm a passionate pet lover dedicated to providing the best care for your furry family members. I have lived with dogs since 5 years old. I have experience with senior dogs and their unique health needs, as well as experience with puppies that may have specific training needs. Although I have never owned my own cat, I adore them and have about 6 years of experience as a cat sitter. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities! I currently work full-time hybrid, so I can be flexible with your needs! I am available for in-home overnight pet sitting any day, and walking or feeding visits on weekday evenings and all day on the weekends. I currently do not offer sitting in my own home, but I am happy to come watch your pets in your home! I will make sure to treat your home just like you treat it, and I can attend to any needs such as getting mail or taking the trash out. As a pet owner myself, I know how scary it can be to leave your pet behind, especially with someone new. I can meet you and your pet beforehand to ensure it's a good fit for everyone, and I provide frequent updates while you're away.
“Both our pups were very happy when we got home - Jennifer was the perfect balance of communicative and knowledgeable/comfortable, even with our 12 week old pup and the 4 year old as well. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I have helped take care of dogs and cats since high school. I have helped with pets of all ages, including senior pets. I'm happy to be active with pets and walk and play with dogs. I also work full-time and will be mostly available on weekends. I do work from home as much as I can and can be flexible with that some of the time. I can take care of small dogs in my own home. Typically, I take care of pets at clients' homes and am open to any instructions needed to do so.
About: I’m I grew up living with dogs, I am very comfortable with them. I am confident I can take good care of your pet. I am currently taking my dog to obedience training weekly. I understand basic dog training. I love all animals. I am currently not working and am very interested in getting into dog walking in Minnesota. I love dog walking and think it would be a great fit for me. My goal is to have a fixed schedule as a dog walker with a few clients. Please let me know if you are interested in repeat walks! I will walk at your dogs pace. I’m happy to do a brisk walk or a slow sniffing stroll. It is my pleasure to let your dog get some fresh air and exercise.

“Claire was very communicative and caring with my cat. She was very patient and understanding about gaining access to my new apartment that seems to be locked down. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have had experience caring for dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a very open and flexible schedule, and absolutely love working with animals and will treat them with the utmost love and care. I’ve just moved to the area from Florida where I was working full time in pet care, so I’m looking to build back up my clientele and do what I love the most which is helping others take care of their pets! I’m in an apartment so I don’t currently offer any boarding services. However, I’m happy to provide exercise and play time with your animals and give them all my love and care!
About: I have 2 dogs and 3 cats so I am extremely experienced caring and loving for furbabies! I would love nothing more than to come give your babies love while you take a much needed vacation or weekend trip. I promise to love and care for them like they are my own furbabies for whatever needs they may have! I currently work full time but I have a lot of flexibility. Some days I may not be able to do a mid day visit but I can guarantee visits before 8AM and no later than 5:30PM during the week with all the flexibility on the weekends! I have 5 furbabies and anyone in my life would tell you that animals are a genuine love of mine. I loved animals so much even as a small child I convinced my dog preferring dad to let me to get a cat when I was 8 because I was so persistent. My entire life I’ve been loving and caring for animals and there’s nothing that gives me more joy than animals!
“Jacqueline always does a great job with our pets! We especially appreciate her expertise and focus with our senior dog. She knows to give him short, slow walks, and is comfortable and proficient in administering meds for his joint pain. Highly recommend!”
About: My son, 10yo, and I would love to care for your dog! We miss having a dog of our own and friends recommended Rover as a way to get our doggie fix!

Rover is the perfect choice to fill the time between hockey and dance practice and get our doggie fix, too! We will come to you for walking, playtime, or bathroom breaks during the day! Open to a discussion regarding needs, expectations, and how we can help.
About: I’m a mom of five (ages 10–26), a nurse, and a lifelong animal lover. The animal-loving trait runs pretty strong in our family! Somewhere along the way, we became THAT family… the one everyone thinks of when an animal needs a loving home. We currently have dogs, guinea pigs, a tortoise, a bearded dragon, snakes, and fish, most of whom have found their way to us. And if the city would allow it, we’d have chickens too. Our whole family is passionate about learning how to give all kinds of animals the best life possible. If I don’t know something, chances are one of my consultants does. I’m happy to care for dogs, cats, small animals, reptiles, or pretty much anything else you call family. If your pet is one I haven’t cared for before, even better. Tell me all about them! Our pets are family. They’re ridiculously loved, definitely spoiled, and yours will be too. I work full-time remotely, which gives me flexibility for pet care. If you live near the Minnesota Zoo and are close enough for me to periodically check in on my own family and little zoo, I’m happy to work from your home during the week, as long as your pet is comfortable hanging out with me while I work. Their normal routine can stay as familiar as possible, with walks, meals, medications, potty breaks, playtime, snuggles, and attention worked into the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll respect their personality, boundaries, preferences, and all the little things you know help them feel comfortable, along with your home and the way you want them cared for. I’m also comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets, giving medications, and following more detailed care plans, where my nursing skills definitely come in handy. You’ll get daily updates with pictures and videos, so you can relax knowing your pet and home are in good hands while you’re away.

We would definitely recommend Rachael for any future pet sitting needs! She was very professional and accommodated our last minute holiday request with flexibility too. She was consistent with our requested schedule and communicated well each visit. We would definitely plan to hire her again!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Eagan is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 5,639 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Eagan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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 .
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.
