About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 4 and have always loved every single thing about them! My parents always taught me to take care of animals and I have been a dog “owner” since the day I got my first dog! I love going on walks and having a dog companion makes it so much more fun! I have helped my mom bathe our pups for the last 4 years and love seeing them get the zoomies after haha! My dogs are allergic to almost EVERYTHING so they are on a very specific special diet that takes time to cook and prepare, so I am very on top of feeding. I currently work remote Mondays & Fridays, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I am an early gym goer and usually awake by 5:30 AM. I have a fenced in yard that allows for lots of room to play! I love to stay active (even in the cold) and am always down for a walk!
About: I’m a friendly, energetic dog walker with a flexible schedule to help meet your pet’s needs! I’ve owned multiple breeds and sizes of dogs and cats and am excited to give your furry friend care while you’re away! I work a flexible job with some availability throughout the work day, as well as frequent weekend availability. I’d be happy to make sure your pet is well taken care of any time you’re away! I’d love to walk your dog around my neighborhood near Cedar Lake, or come to you! You can also trust me to care for your cat or dog in your home while being the most respectful of your space.

“Alisha was a great cat-sitter and sent lovely updates while I was away. She was kind and it was convenient to schedule with her. Would absolutely recommend her to others!”

About: Dogs have always been at the heart of my life. I’ve cared for large breeds (80–100 lbs) and currently share my home—and my work-from-home days—with my 45-pound beagle mix, Sophia. I often host my family’s dogs as well, so multi-dog households are second nature to me. My background includes two years working at a veterinary clinic in my hometown, plus ongoing volunteer work with multiple shelters and regular fostering. These experiences have taught me how to care for a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, supporting anxious pups, and adapting to each dog’s unique personality. Above all, I’m calm, empathetic, and fun—and my priority is to provide the same love and attention your dog receives from you. Whether it’s belly rubs, structured routines, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and at home. Our day starts with a peaceful 10–20 minute morning walk around the neighborhood, followed by breakfast and some downtime. Around noon, I take the pups out for a quick potty break and a chance to sniff and explore. In the late afternoon—typically around 4 PM—we head out again for a longer walk, anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on their energy and comfort. If your dog enjoys social outings, I’m happy to bring them along to one of the scenic dog parks nearby for some extra enrichment and playtime. After our evening adventure, it’s time for dinner and a final potty break before settling in for the night. I’m always attentive to each dog’s individual needs, so if they require additional breaks or adjustments to the schedule, I’m happy to accommodate. I live in a quiet apartment building with a fenced bark park just steps away—perfect for getting out any zoomies or enjoying some off-leash playtime. Inside, I have an XL kennel and gates available if needed, but I always encourage you to bring anything that helps your pup feel comfortable and at home. Whether it’s a favorite blanket, toy, or calming aid, I want them to settle in with ease.
“Lisa took great pictures of our little guy having a nice time. I appreciated that she took him in and out multiple times so he could have water because he has black fur and gets hot.”

About: I've grown up caring for three dogs at once in a busy household, so I’m no stranger to managing multiple pets with love and attention. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m especially confident with dog walking and making sure every pup gets the care, exercise, and attention they need. I’m currently working part time at cub so I’ll need to schedule around that but other than that I’ll be free most of the time. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and keep your home clean and secure.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dog and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dog. My dog, Elliot, loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have my own small pup who is energetic and loves to play, but isn’t pushy. I work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dog).

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine passion for animals combined with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I specialize in both puppy training and senior dog care, which means I’m not just here to watch over your dog I’m here to support their well-being at every stage of life. With puppies, I focus on positive reinforcement, helping them build confidence, learn basic commands, and feel safe in new environments. With senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to their comfort, health routines, and any mobility challenges they may have. I also prioritize clear communication with pet parents, keeping you updated with photos, messages, and detailed notes so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Above all, I treat every dog like family—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I organize my days around making sure each dog in my care gets the attention, activity, and comfort they need—whether that means morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or simply quiet companionship. I set aside time every day for exercise, training, and one-on-one interaction to build trust and keep pets happy and mentally stimulated. On a weekly basis, I plan for grooming needs, restocking supplies, and adjusting routines to fit each pet’s personality and preferences. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where each animal feels comfortable and cared for. In My Home: I maintain a calm and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and explore. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and preferred activities. I limit the number of pets I take at once to ensure personalized attention and a peaceful atmosphere. In My Client’s Home: I respect your home as if it were my own and follow your pet’s established routine to keep them as relaxed and happy as possible. I make sure they’re well-fed, exercised, and emotionally cared for. I also keep the space clean, send regular updates, and can handle light home tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants if needed. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I treat them like family—with patience, love, and reliability.
About: I have been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and small rodents of my own and others for most of my life! I’m currently mom to a Great Dane rescue named Paloma and a rabbit rescue named Pluto. My partner and I have done extensive training (Hamilton Dog Training) with Paloma over the last two years to remove all dog reactivity and allow her to be off-leash trained. I also have experience with elderly animals receiving hospice care as they head over the rainbow bridge. I currently work as a part time structural engineer technician from home so I have lots of flexibility in my schedule to look after your little buds. My partner, Grant, is a structural engineer who also works from home. We both grew up surrounded by animals and wouldn’t have it any other way! I strongly believe that a tired dog is a happy dog! Long walks are a must for our pups to receive the attention and exercise they need and I truly believe nature is as healing to our furry family as it is to us.
About: Happy dogs make happy owners, let us help you out! My partner Brynan and I have grown up with dogs and taken care of dogs our entire life. We are comfortable with all shapes and sizes. We are reliable and caring dog sitters. We treat all dogs like they are our own, so you can be comforted knowing your beloved pet is in good hands. If you have specific requests or preferences for your dog we are always willing to follow them. We live in the St. Louis Park area and know of many great trails and places to go for walks and exercise. We look forward to connecting! Brynan and I have opposite schedules so one of us is normally home for potty breaks and play time. We also do daily walks with Remy (our dog) so your dog will be able to join. :) I have a yard and lots of walking trails nearby. We are able to crate your dogs or leave them out depending on what your most comfortable with when we are away from the home. We do allow dogs on furniture but if you’d prefer we don’t just let us know.

“Sara went above and beyond for our animals and gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Her communication is top tier, we enjoyed sharing adorable photos she sent us with all our family! I would 100% book Sara again and highly recommend her to anyone seeking excellent, compassionate care for their animals.”

“Brynn was an excellent sitter for my cat Vivian. She followed all the directions left and got along very well with my cat based on the reports. I really appreciated her updates as well as pictures of my cat. This was my first time leaving my cat alone for more than half a day, and I am so happy things went well. Would hire again!”


“Chloe did a great job w our two slightly neurotic (but aren’t they all?) cats while we were away. They can be a little shy, so our priority was human contact and Chloe was very patient and engaged to get them to come out of hiding on each trip, particularly important because one cat requires a special diet/solo feeding. Always great to get “proof of life”photos, even if it’s hard to catch a kitty in motion!”

About: Hi! I am currently a full-time stay at home dog mom! I have grown up fostering dogs of all kinds, from momma dogs and their puppies to dogs with health issues! I love getting active to help me stay motivated and I’d love to have some doggie friends to help accompany me. I provide a lot of fun time with your fur baby! From walks in the park, running along the creek for great exercise, to playing mind intriguing food games. I even can teach your dog basic tricks! ( I provide the treats). With two dogs at my own house, I am currently not open to boarding but would love to visit your baby and take them for lots of walkies! Your baby will be in safe hands! I am a full-time stay at home dog mom. I am home 7 days a week and have more than enough time to walk, play with your fur baby! I am happy to play with your dogs in your home or take them out on lots of walkies! I know lots of gorgeous places to take dogs in the Minneapolis area!
About: I love each dog as if they’re my own. I’ve lived with a dog most of my life, and house sat for months that included dog sitting! I have a flexible work schedule and have a ton of control over my schedule. Each day is flexible, so I am able to fit in extra gigs. I can tailor my care of your animal however you prefer. I’ve cared for many dogs, love walking or just spending time with furry friends!
About: I have one large energetic Aussie. He taught me a lot about how to work with dogs that have aggressive tendencies. I also know how to groom pets and give them baths even the ones that don't like water. I trained him to do many tricks as a puppy and worked with obedience. I love high energy dogs that need long walks/ playtime or runs. I am taking a gap semester and am available full time. I plan on trying out new things and seeing new places. My schedule is flexible and am just trying to navigate a new place. I take care of pets by taking them out for multiple walks per day, making sure they have water and food. Playing with them and giving overall care.

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.

From the moment Kaye arrived, we knew our pets were in great hands. She was prompt, incredibly kind, and genuinely loving toward our animals. Her detailed updates and photos brought us so much comfort, and we felt so happy knowing our pets were cared for by such a wonderful person. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

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 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
