“THE BEST EVERRR!! Molly was such a wonderful sitter for both of our kitties and they were very well taken care of! She made sure to hang out with the boys and give them lots of attention. I can’t thank her enough for the amazing care she provided and we will absolutely book her again!”
“This was our 2nd time booking Sarah to watch our two kitties. She’s absolutely amazing with them. She’s always on time, sends lots of cute photos and videos and I can tell my cats love their time with her! I would recommend Sarah to anyone!”
“Allison was awesome! She took amazing care of my old man cat with his medications and made sure everyone was happy and well fed. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
About: I've had dogs and cats and fish all my life. Currently have a 9 yo lab we've had since he was a puppy, two senior cats and uncountable fish including a 55 gallon tank and too many guppies and shrimp. Comfortable with administering meds, special care and playful pups. Very flexible week day schedule between 7a-4p. Long night time walks after 9 can be tricky with my family schedule but we can usually find a good way to work it out. I'll treat your babies like they're my own. Whether that's getting good pets and play time or enforcing your rules to sit/stay/okay before meals... I'm willing and able to work within what your pets are used to and expect.
“Caroline did an excellent job taken care of my cats, she followed my instructions perfectly, and gave me daily updates, and even checked in with me after I got home. I will definitely rehire her as I know my cats are in good care.”
“Caroline goes above and beyond for my little guy. He really have never been a fan of other people and she has formed a great bond with him. I know he feels so much better having her around when I have to travel. She’s so communicative with me as well which I greatly appreciate. 10/10 would hire her every time.”
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’m a mother of two, who has had a lifetime of pets and animal experience. I know the anxiety of trusting your fur baby with a stranger, so I look forward to building a relationship with you and your animals and providing care as if they were my own. I have decades worth of experience with dogs, cats, small mammals, and birds. I also have experience with special needs animals, specifically administering insulin to diabetic cats. Now that both my kids are in school full time, I am creating that next chapter of my life. I have been a full time care giver for the last 10 years to my babies so I’d like to continue my work of caregiving and give back to my community by helping with our beloved pets. I am a responsible and experienced mother to both humans and fur babies alike with over 30 years of caring for my own cats, dogs, and small mammals.
“Heidi is the best. She is easy going, very responsive, and so great with our cats who are typically very shy with strangers but warmed up quickly to her. It’s nice to have that peace of mind that our kittens are being well cared for. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m an animal communication researcher with a B.A. in psychology and biology, and I’ve been passionately caring for dogs, specifically rescue dogs, since I was 13 years old. I currently live with a senior rescue dog, so canine companionship is a central part of my daily life! My scientific background gives me a unique perspective on dog walking and care: I understand canine body language, stress triggers, and behavioral signals, allowing me to create a safe, engaging, and stress-free environment for every dog. As I currently work full-time, I would be available for drop-in visits and dog walks on Monday through Friday's from 6 am-8 am and 6 pm-8 pm. I am also available anytime on Saturday and Sunday. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is keeping their regular routine intact so they feel safe, calm, and happy while you’re away. Safety & Routine First: I closely follow your instructions for feeding, routines, pet medications, and house rules. I will make sure doors and gates are secure, entryways are clear, and your home is kept neat and respected. Dog drop-in visits and walks: - Tailored Dog Walks: Walks are adapted to your dog's age and energy levels. From structured and mentally stimulating walks for energetic dogs, to slow and gentle strolls for senior dogs, I have experience with a wide range of dog personalities, activity levels, and ages. - Behavior-Conscious Care: Using my background in animal communication research, I monitor body language for signs of heat exhaustion, anxiety, or leash reactivity, ensuring every walk is low-stress and positive. - Post-Visit Updates: After every visit, you’ll receive detailed updates and photos, including notes on bathroom breaks, water bowl top-offs, energy levels, and any fun highlights from our time together! Cat drop-in visits: - Feeding & Fresh Water: I strictly follow your feeding routines, medications, wash bowls, and ensure fresh water is always available. - Litter Box Maintenance: Regular, meticulous scooping and area cleanup to keep your cat's environment clean and comfortable. - Play & Mental Enrichment: Interactive play sessions using feather wands, puzzle toys, or laser pointers for energetic cats, or quiet, gentle company and brushing for seniors or introverts. - Behavior-Conscious Care: Using my background in science and animal communication research, I recognize subtle stress signals, environmental triggers, and comfort cues, ensuring your cat feels completely safe and relaxed while you're away. - Detailed Updates: After every visit, you’ll receive a thorough report message complete with photos, notes on eating/litter box habits, and highlights of our hangout time.
“Xander was able to accommodate my last minute booking and even stopped by to do a meet-and-greet on short notice. Xander was easy to communicate with, very reliable, and took such good care of Molly. I got daily updates and photos and knew that my sweet kitty was in super capable hands. Xander was also conscientious about taking care of my space (washing Molly’s dishes, sweeping up around her litter box) and it’s little things like that that really make a big difference. Would definitely book Xander again when I’m out of town!”
“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!”
“Limor did an amazing job caring for my cat with PICA. They followed all instructions perfectly, kept me updated, and ensured his safety and happiness. Highly recommend for anyone needing a caring, attentive pet sitter.”
“Ashley took great care of our two cats! She was extremely communicative, dedicated time and attention to making sure they were active, and made sure they exhibited normal eating/drinking habits while we were traveling. Loved the pictures as well!”
“Maggie did a wonderful job taking care of my 10 year old Boston Terrier Stella. From the great pictures she sent as well as the updates it was obvious the Stella was in good hands! Dependable, punctual and an obvious pet lover. I Highly recommend Maggie!”
About: I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. From the time I was born until now, there has always been an animal by my side. Wether it was 2 cats, 5 cats and a dog, or even 32 sled dogs, I make it a point to show each animal I share space love and patience. All animals have their own quirks and I love getting to know each an every one. I have my own cat, currently registered as an ESA, who is the love of my life. Miss. Pickles is certainly a little pickle. She won't go to bed until we have had prolonged playtime that includes catch with a hairbinder! If you think you've got weird requirements, I bet I've seen weirder. I also have a ton of dog experience in both house sitting and sled dog mushing and homestead care. I am not trained in any specific dog training but I can help with teaching commands like sit, paw, stay as long as quality dog treats are around! I have cat and dog sat, and no matter what pet it is, I will always keep them safe, healthy and happy. I love long walks, short walks, playtime, cuddles and everything in-between. If you are looking for someone who is going to walk in the front door and give love to your fur baby, I am your girl! I am an actor and artist based in the Twin Cities which means I am contract worker with funky hours and scheduling, but I always find time to be with animals as they make me happy and relaxed! I am most often working evenings as an actor which leaves my days open and ready for walks, playtime and more! After rehearsals and shows I am always ready for a good cuddle and some more playtime before bed. I won't be able to house any pets at my home due to my cat enjoying being an only kitty! But whatever setup you have in your home I will abide to for your fur baby!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Edina
We really appreciate Ed's kind attention to our felines. We know that they will be well cared for, allowing us to relax during our trip. We love his humor and playful approach to the task. We thank him for his patience with our problematic Wifi connectivity this trip. We look forward to hiring him in the future, as long as he will have us!
Liv took wonderful care of my cat Pesto while I was away. She did a great job communicating, shared updates and pictures of my kitty, and gave her loads of love and attention. Liv was easy to work with and is someone I trust to take care of Pesto in the future.
Ava did an awesome job taking care of our kitty Winnie while we were away! She was so attentive and provided detailed feedback each day about how things were going. She watched over our house and watered our flowers as well. She also drew an adorable picture of our girl. Would highly recommend!!
Lily was great with our cat Mochi. We could tell in the daily update photos that our cat was very relaxed and that she was enjoying the company. Lily was very professional and communicative. We would definitely recommend Lily if your cat just needs someone to hang out with for a little bit each day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Edina is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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.

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 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 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.

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 cancellation policy, 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.
