“Sarah was amazing! She did a number of drop ins with our dog, and we would definitely book her again. Her communication, care for our pup, and detailed updates were so great, and made us feel comfortable even when we weren’t there. Grateful for Sarah and hope to book her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Phouthavone, but I go by Kat! 🐾 I’ve been around and cared for dogs my entire life. I currently have a 7-year-old rescue dog who’s been part of my family for five years, as well as a 2-year-old cat—so I’m very familiar with caring for both dogs and cats and all their different personalities! Both of my fur babies have sensitive stomachs, so I understand how important it is to follow feeding instructions, dietary restrictions, and routines carefully. I’ll make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and well-fed while they’re in my care. I also have previous experience as a human caregiver, which has taught me a lot of skills that transfer naturally into pet care—patience, attentiveness, responsibility, following routines, and making sure the person (or pet!) in my care is comfortable and safe. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat your fur babies like they’re my own. Whether they want playtime, walks, company, or just lots and lots of cuddles, I’m happy to give them all the attention they need. 🐶🐱💕 I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I currently work part-time, so my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your fur babies! I’m available throughout the week and can work around different feeding, walking, and potty schedules. I’m also happy to spend extra time playing with them or just keeping them company and giving them lots of cuddles. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I’ll always follow any instructions you leave for me. I’m very attentive when it comes to feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, medications, walks, and anything else your pet may need. I also have a dog and cat of my own, so I know how nerve-racking it can be trusting someone else with your babies! I’ll treat them like I would want someone to treat mine and keep you updated while you’re away.
“Caitlin was responsive and easy to communicate with. We also appreciated the multiple videos she shared and her taking into consideration our cats favorite toys for playtime.”
“Tori did such a wonderful job with the house visits for my two cats when I went out of town. She's friendly, kind and my cats loved her. I will definitely be re-booking with her in the near future!”
“This was the first time my husband and I used Rover and we lucked out finding Annalise! From the Meet & Greet, she was so helpful orienting us to the Rover app and she is incredibly knowledgable about dog behaviors and safety. She is so so thoughtful and loving with our pup- giving him so much love, snuggles, and time to play and be himself. She even gave him an ear, neck, and shoulder massage during one of the drop ins and let him choose his favorite snack from her box of snacks she keeps in her car for all the pups she cares for. Her communication is top tier and she is so diligent with her Rover notes. We could not be more grateful to know our pup is being cared for by someone so considerate, responsible, and caring!”
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!
“We went on vacation for a week. I was very worried about our cat, George, who isn’t doing very well. I looked forward to the daily reports that we got when we were gone. She made a point of looking forward George each day, and we got daily pictures of them (even though they were only of them hiding under the bed). Shannon did everything that I asked, including bringing in the mail. Although we have no immediate plans to go on another vacation, I would definitely use Shannon’s services again.”
About: I have always had a special way with dogs. From training and caring for my childhood golden retriever, to starting a neighborhood dog-sitting business with my sister, to walking dogs part-time ever since. I have over 15 years of professional experience walking and boarding dogs of all sizes, breeds, needs, and ages. I promise to provide individualized care to cater to your dogs specific needs! I’m currently available full-time to provide pet care. I am between jobs at the moment, giving me all the more time to spend with your dog! Generally, open availability 7-days a week. I am currently unable to board dogs at my home. But, I am available full-time to sit at your home and/or provide drop-ins and walks. I provide a very loving, attentive, and safe environment for animals. I am highly adaptable to the specific needs of each dog I care for. My years of on-leash experiences with all different dogs have built a confidence in safe handling and training strategies.
About: With several years of hands-on experience, I offer professional pet care, including day and overnight sitting, tailored walks for pets of all ages, and administering specialized diets and medication for pets with health needs. Whether your pet is energetic, senior, or requires extra attention, I provide compassionate, reliable care that ensures their well-being and happiness.

About: I have experience caring for dogs through helping friends, family, and coworkers with walking, feeding, playtime, and drop-in visits. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on keeping pets safe and comfortable in their normal routines. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs who need exercise as well as calmer or senior dogs who need a slower pace. I pay close attention to instructions, behavior cues, and communication with owners, and I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, consistency, and care while you’re away I work a typical 9–5 schedule, so I’m available for pet care before and after work, as well as on weekends. I’m intentional about making time for the pets I care for and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’m reliable about sticking to their routines and am happy to plan visits and walks around their normal feeding, potty, and activity schedules. Weekends give me even more flexibility for longer visits, walks, and plenty of playtime! I provide walks and drop-in visits in your home, keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I carefully follow all care instructions, use secure leash handling on walks, and stay aware of our surroundings to ensure safety. In your home, I’m respectful of your space, double-check doors and gates, and make sure your pet is comfortable before leaving. You can always expect clear communication and photo updates after each visit
About: My husband and I have a toddler and two dogs. Cosmo a 3 year old Schnauzer Poodle and Bunny, 12 year old Maltipoo. I never had pets growing up so when I got my late dog Gizmo 18 years ago I dove head first into research, books, forums etc. Just so I would have the best tools for my new pet. I'm so happy I took the time to educate myself. I work from home Monday through Friday. I have flexibility to pop over for a 20-30 walk during the day. In my home we let our dogs out every three hours of so for a potty break. My goes to school M-F so there is no concern of taking care of dogs that aren’t kid friendly. I have a fenced backyard. I have two friendly dogs at home. 8 lbs and 6 lbs. I would prefer to pet sit in my home but I am flexible to pet sit in someone else's home.
“Will continue to reach out to Lily! She is always reliable and Simba really feels friendly and comfortable with her! You can see how happy he is in her pictures that she sends , which always put smiles on our faces!”
“Caitlyn did a great job with our dog, Bo! We had her check in and walk Bo a few times when we were busy. Bo has some back problems that require a lot of special care and Caitlyn did a great job following our instructions and keeping us updated on her check ins!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Edina
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for taking such good care of our pups while we were out of town! Each dog was treated special - with our young pup getting lots of extra walking/ jogging and rubs and our senior pup given the chance to “get up” when he was ready and getting lots of opportunities to stop and smell to his hearts desire. Awesome job! wWe plan to rebook soon!
Michaela was great. I was delayed 24 hrs from original return time due to widespread travel delays and she was very flexible with the situation and amenable to helping in any way she could. From pics and updates she sent I could tell my guys were content. She was very communicative and I really appreciated her positive attitude while I navigated airport purgatory.
I would absolutely recommend Eleanor to everyone! She went above and beyond for Bowser - even cleaned up some accidents he got while being anxious home alone. She made my trip so much more relaxed knowing that Bowser was in the best hands. Thanks so much Ellie!!!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Edina 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.
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 Edina 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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Edina with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
