“Casey is a fantastic pet sitter! He was flexible and accommodating, and a caring animal caregiver. We especially appreciated his experience with rescues as our June benefits from a trauma informed approach. I also enjoyed his relaxed demeanor which is refreshing. Will definitely be booking with him again, if possible. Highly recommended!”
About: I cared for a friends dog for 4 years, treating it like my own family member. I have also watched plenty of dogs from other friends as well as a coworkers dog. I’ve had them at my house, given walks, and gone to their house to give care. Whatever is needed, I am your resource of love and compassion for your animal. During the week I work at a nature center, however my schedule is flexible. I’m able to move my hours around so that I can be around to help your pet when need be. I can help stay with your dog in your place if need be, or they can be in my apartment where I can walk them through the neighborhoods or take them to the nearby park. I would keep them away from other dogs if needed. Whatever is needed for your loved one, I am here for you.
About: I have owned/raised 4 dogs in my lifetime. I currently have 2 dogs living with my roommates and I. I have spent weekends and weeks in homes taking care of dogs before. I have experience with old, young, sick and abused dogs. I currently am a second year Pre-Veterinary Technician at Cal Poly Pomona. I have taken the necessary labs involved in handling a wide variety of animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and horses. I currently work from home and have a generally flexible schedule depending on how many meetings I have during the day. Pet care is second nature to me as I have 3 pets of my own! I ensure to keep my pets calm, safe and feeling secure. Lots of walks, training and enrichment are a must to keep their brains and bodies active. Lots of pets and snuggles are always a guarantee.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have two senior Border Collies (ages 14 and 11) at my parents’ home. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages and energy levels, and I understand the unique care older dogs may need. In addition to dogs, I’ve cared for a variety of other animals—I’m currently the proud owner of eight guinea pigs, and I’ve also raised frogs, fish, and hermit crabs over the years. I’m a former student-athlete at the University of Minnesota, so I’m active, responsible, and used to managing my time well. I’d love to give your pet the same love and attention I give my own! I grew up with two dogs in my family home, so having pups around has always been a huge part of my life. Because my schedule as a financial analyst and high school hockey coach keeps me busy during the week, I can't host a dog full-time—so Rover is how I get my dog-fix! My weekends are completely free and dedicated entirely to caring for and hanging out with guest dogs, giving them my 100% undivided attention. I grew up with two dogs in my family home, so making sure a pet feels safe and relaxed comes naturally to me. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with a secure patio that's great for lounging, plus awesome grassy walking paths right outside my front door. I always stick closely to whatever routine, feeding schedule, or rules you have at home so your dog feels right at home with me.
“Amanda, as always, was an AMAZING sitter for our cat, Zemo. She is incredibly thorough with her check in visits and gives such a fun summary that my wife and I look forward to every day we are out.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since childhood. I’ve only really taken care of cats for the past 10 years. I have two adorkable kitties that are 2 and 3 years old. They both prefer my husband over me but I still primarily take care of them in hopes that one day they will love me more than my husband. I can provide drop-in visits when I’m not working in the office. I can also board a pet as long as I am wfh. I can also walk your dog especially on days that I am wfh. Message me ahead of time and we can figure something out. :) My job allows me to have some flexibility. I think communication is the key. It will be important for me that each pets needs are communicated to me properly. If I am unsure about something, i will clarify with the parent/s first to ensure that their pet’s needs are provided.
About: I’ve had animals all my life. I have taken care of my own pets and taken care of my friends’ pets. The strangest animal I’ve taken care of was a hedgehog. I am very used to taking care of senior dogs and giving animals medicine. As a pet owner, I understand how important it is to have your pets well taken care of and I will make sure they are happy and well cared for! I am in between jobs at the moment but once I start my new job I will be working shorter shifts in the mornings and afternoons on various days of the week. I know how to walk dogs that pull and dogs that don’t. I am comfortable crating dogs and giving cats and dogs medicine. I can play with your animals and give them attention however they need it.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have always had a love for animals! I have experience pet sitting for dogs, fish, and small animals, including overnight stays. My experience includes walking, feeding, playing, and providing daily care. I especially love dogs and enjoy making sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away! I have a flexible schedule. I enjoy spending my free time being active and would love to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I am happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit both of our schedules and make sure their pets receive the attention they need! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I will do my best to follow any instructions you provide. I also believe communication is important and am happy to provide updates and pictures so you know your pet is doing well!
“Shawntil was great. She followed my cat's care instructions, she was quick to respond, wrote updates, and posted very cute pictures daily. I'd trust Shawntil to care for my cat again. I would recommend her if you're looking for drop-in cat visits.”
About: I've spent years caring for both cats and dogs, including lots of time with our family dog. I'm patient, organized, and happy to follow your routine to the letter. Morning and evening drop-ins are my specialty. I'm a quick, reliable check-in while you're at work or out of town, so your cat never goes without food, a clean litter box, or company. Your home is your sanctuary, and I treat it that way. I lock up, keep things tidy, and leave everything as I found it. If anything seems off, you'll hear from me right away. In clients homes, I will -follow any notes left for care and routine -feed, walk, and play according to their needs -keeps pets living area and play space tidy -monitor health and behaviors and report any changes to the owner -respect the home and clients privacy
About: I've taken care of many different types of animals throughout the course of my life. I have more formally done pet sitting in the last 4 years. I have a good understanding of animals and would be a great choice for your pet. I currently work 8:30 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday. I am comfortable driving throughout the metro. I'm available most weekday evenings. I'm available most weekends. I am respectful of animals. I have also cared for pets with complex medical needs. I have a great compassion for animals and those who care for them.
About: I've owned both cats and dogs (& guinea pigs & fish!) for many years. We currently have two cats, and recently we fostered a puppy. I am no stranger to giving pills and other medicine to pets! I work from home, so I can stop by before and after my regular job to care for pets. I can also stop by on lunch break. Indoor/outdoor cats (like ours) are best kept safely inside when owners are not around, so I'll make sure the cats stay inside the house. Dogs can venture out—but only on a leash! I will follow your instructions on feeding and also change the water. If there is anything concerning I will contact you. Also, I can ask my wife, who is a vet.
“Kelly is a great sitter! She took excellent care of my two cats for me while I was out of town, and watered my plants as well! She kept in communication for every drop in visit and sent multiple pictures and videos of my kitties. She was very easy to work with on scheduling. I will be hiring her again in the future!”
“Amber is AMAZING! Our puppy Reya enjoys every minute with Amber. And...we get THE BEST pictures after her visits! Thank you for spending time with our little lady when we cannot!”
About: Hi! I’m a caring, dependable dog lover who would be happy to give your pup plenty of attention, companionship, and care while you’re away. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your pup like family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing nearby, I’m happy to follow their routine and personality. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone. I’m responsible, attentive, and communicative, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your dog and give them a fun, comfortable experience! I am a full time esthetician but just work 4 days a week(T-TH and every other Fri/Sat), so I have a flexible schedule and am able to work in other jobs or activities around my clients. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their home, I respect your space, follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I provide calm, attentive care and take the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and boundaries. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I also understand that every home and pet has different routines, so I’ll do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free for your pet.
“Will took excellent care of our dogs. He made sure to check on them, give them ample play time, and ensure they had water. We have two English Mastiffs, one of whom is young, so we really appreciate having someone who is confident with large, adolescent dogs. On top of it all, he’s an excellent photographer and took a lot of great photos! We are excited to use his services again in the future and would highly recommend him to others.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Falcon Heights
This was my first time using Rover as a customer and not a sitter and I’m very pleased with my experience in hiring Elizabeth! She was punctual, curious, and made sure she had all the info needed to care for our pets☺️ when I came home, they all seemed so calm and happy so I will definitely be reaching out should I need her services again!
I have two high energy dogs, one of which can be reactive and a trouble maker. Natalie was patient, understanding, and excited to hang out with them for a couple hours while we were out for the day. She was responsive with communication, on time, and sent lots of pictures to let us know everything was going well. I would definitely enlist her help again!
When Billie takes care of my dog, she pays close attention to the skills he’s working on, and provides clear updates on how things went during their time together. She’s thoughtful about anticipating needs. For example, she prepared a Kong and left it in the freezer, so it would be ready for my dog to enjoy later. :)
My dog Pepper loved Tyler. Being a Patterdale Terrier she can sometimes be "distant" to new people but the images Tyler included in the Rover card taken during his walks with her show she was enjoying his company. Tyler was reliable and felt totally relaxed know he was taking care of her.
Another great experience with Amanda! We have a new rescue Corgi with some quirks and Amanda came every day during our vacation for walk/potty breaks and did a great job getting to know Reggie. She was flexible when it was too hot or smokey and just spent time with him in the yard, which was wonderful! She sent detailed updates and great pictures so I know he was well taken care of!
Cindy was perfect. She seems to truly care about dogs, especially ours. It was a comfort to know she could drop in twice to care for our Dear Floyd on our daughter’s wedding day. She followed all instructions and kept us updated. It was a comfort and a relief.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Falcon Heights is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $38 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.
As of November 2026, there are 5,659 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Falcon Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Falcon Heights 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 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.
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 Falcon Heights with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
