About: I have 20 years of experience raising cats and 5 years of experiencing walking and sitting dogs. Most of the dogs I've sat were adults and seniors, but I recently adopted a high-energy shepherd puppy. He has taken to training well and completed basic with flying colors! I love hanging out with dogs and cats, and have great relationships with the animals I've met! My background is wildlife biology, and I dedicate a lot of time to studying both wild and domesticated animal behaviors and body language. I never force interactions when an animal displays signs of discomfort, and make sure any petting or play is fully on their terms. I am overall a soft-spoken and calm person, so I can get along with anxious animals quite well. I love taking dogs for walks and playing dogs like fetch, hide-and-seek, find-it, and using puzzle toys and other training games. I currently work a full-time job M-F and a part-time job Th - S, so my availability will be tight for the next couple of months. Weekday availability will be mostly afternoons, and weekend availability will be mornings and partial afternoons. Wishes of the owner and safety of the animal always comes first. I listen to instruction carefully and always follow up with questions as needed. Though I love cuddling and playing with pets, any interaction should be done on their terms, with their comfort and safety in mind. It is sad when an animal ignores you or avoids you, but I never force pets, play, or cuddles.
“Kathy was wonderful with our elderly cat. She was attentive and provided many pictures! Our cat appeared very happy! We would definitely recommend Kathy and use her again.”
“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.”
“Ellie is awesome! Both of my cats took to her right away. Her report cards were great and she showed up as promised. I would hire Ellie in a heartbeat the next time I need cat care. Thank you Ellie!”
“Katie was timely and very responsive. She gave me great daily reports and I trusted her with my brand new puppy. I highly recommend her. You can really rely on her. She also accommodated switching our time when I needed to for a work schedule change. Thank you, Katie!”
“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 😊”
“Lucy was wonderful as always. She was able to do a last minute check in on my pups, and they adore her. She’s wonderful at communication and is a very patient person with both dogs and me!”
“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 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!
“I have never used a drop in service before. What a Wonderful experience, for both me and my dog! He is a very old dog that would not tolerate a kennel and so I took a chance leaving him at home, with Hannah stopping by four times a day. She sent pictures with every visit, a note with updates and how his day was going. My pup was happy to see us when we got home, but without the stress - for us all! We will definitely reach out to Hannah the next time we need her!!”
“Elizabeth was amazing!! Was very communicative, showed up on time and left an in depth review with LOTS of photos. Would absolutely use her again and will plan on it in the future. My super shy rescue even walked up which she never does with new people.”
“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!!”
“Rachel is an absolute gem! She took such amazing care of our two dogs, Lucy and Cocoa, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the first meet-and-greet, it was clear she’s a true animal lover with a warm, calm presence that immediately put us—and our pups—at ease. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious that Lucy and Cocoa were having the time of their lives. Whether it was playtime, snuggles, or sticking to their routines, Rachel handled everything perfectly. We came home to two very happy, well-loved dogs! Rachel is reliable, professional, and just genuinely wonderful. We honestly don’t know what we’d do without her. And just a friendly PSA to other pet parents—Rachel is amazing, but we definitely call first dibs on her! 😄 Highly, 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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Eagan
Rick and Wendy took excellent care of our kitty and made sure she was well fed, brushed daily and had plenty of play time. We appreciated receiving the daily updates and photos and it was nice knowing she was getting plenty of attention. If they are available we will definitely have them take care of her next time we are 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.

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 Eagan 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.

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.
