About: Hello! My name is Steph and I have been caring for animals my whole life. I would love to meet your pets and give you one less thing to worry about while you’re away. I have had dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, geckos, bearded dragons and a tarantula. I am experienced with animals that have special needs and sigh administering medications. I work from home most days and my schedule is flexible. I also have a list of trusted back-up pet sitters that are able to fill in if your needs don’t align perfectly with my availability. I am happy to provide drop-in or stay-in care for your animals. Your pets will be cared for just as you would. They will get the love and attention that they deserve.
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.
About: I have had dogs around all my life. We have had the pets of many friends overnight over the course of the past 10 years. We love pets and will love your like our own while you are away. My wife and I work full time from home. We love to take walks during the day at all times of the year. We also have a 14 year old son and 10 year old daughter who will give lots of love. We have a large house with 2 active kids to keep your pets company. Our neighborhood has many friendly dogs and access to paths for walking.
About: I spent most my childhood caring for our neighborhood pets, whether they were dogs or cats. I loved when the pets would wander out of their yards and run to see me. I have a deep love of animals. Many people often called me "The Animal Whisperer." I have recently retired from my job. I spend lots of time at home. My schedule is very flexible. I can easily care for pets at any hour of the day. I enjoy walking and running. I love being outside. I thoroughly enjoy animals. I can spend time with your pet inside or outside. I will stick to the instructions given by you, the pet's caretaker. I have no trouble caring for your pet outside and am glad to walk your dog and play with your cat.
“Sheila was very good at communicating with an update and pictures of my cats. She also took time to entice them to play with their favorite toy! She did a great job spending time with them!”
“Paige was a wonderful sitter! She was so kind and communicative, leaving us great updates and pictures from her visits. We didn’t worry about our boys at all! Would definitely recommend Paige😺”
“Jordana was so quick to respond and made communication so easy. We could tell she really spent quality time with our kitties with how well she spoke about each of their personalities. We would certainly hire her again!”
About: I have always had a dog or cat. When I haven’t I have fostered. I take care of neighbors, friends and family. I love animals and spoil them as they are my own. I love going for walks and will go as far as your baby goes. I only work on weekends so your baby would be alone for 8.5 hours both days. I am home all day Monday - Friday with working Saturdays and Sundays 7 - 8 hrs a day. Depending on weather we would go for walks and if not going for a walk then I take them out every 2-4 hours. They would receive lots and lots of love. I live in a townhouse so anytime your dog is out it is in a leashed. I only work weekends so I am home all day during the week. We would play, walk and lounge. They would be spoiled for sure with the lots of pets and hugs. I have always had a dog since I was 5 when I got my first golden retriever. I know nearly every dog in my neighborhood. Some of the owners tell me that they know where I live and pull to go to my house. What more can I say I love animals. If you are looking for someone to take care of your baby as though my own then look me up.
About: I am an animal lover and experienced caregiver (10+ yrs) so I know how important the trust between parties is when it comes to the care of loved ones!

I hope to bring your pet the attention and play that best suits their needs! My schedule is currently very flexible. I am available mornings, days and evenings on weekends and Mondays. I can start the weekend as early as 7pm Friday night! I am happy to discuss the level of care and amount of time you would like spent with your pet.

“Carine was wonderful and my kitties warmed right up to her. She brought her daughter when she was available so the kitties got extra attention twice a day for the long weekend. My kitties still sit by the front door wondering when their new friends will be back💕”
“I've hired Annika multiple times to take care of my cat Nala and she always has done a great job. In addition to taking care of Nala she has consistently helped with other house-sitting tasks. I look forward to working with her in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Eden Prairie
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!

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.
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 Eden Prairie 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 .

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 Meet & Greet .
