“Erica was great. We did a meet and greet before hand and my very nervous dogs warmed up to her immediately. She sent frequent updates and pictures! In one picture my dog was licking her face so I know that loved her!! We will be using her again in the future :)”
About: I worked at a doggy daycare during undergrad, and it remains one of the most rewarding jobs I’ve ever had. Through that experience, I became comfortable managing dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Now, as a full-time teacher, I’m looking for something flexible that still allows me to do what I love. I recently lost my senior dog who required daily medication and specialized mobility care, which gave me firsthand experience with attentive, patient, and detail-oriented pet care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I approach every visit with that same level of responsibility and compassion. I’ll treat your furry family members like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. As a full-time teacher, I’m typically available on weekdays starting around 4 PM, with flexibility to check in on pets through the evening (up to 10 PM). I do have a few schedule exceptions, but I’m always happy to communicate and find times that work. I’m also up early and need to be at school by 7 AM. With my experience working at a doggy daycare, I’ve developed a variety of approaches to safely care for and support pets with different needs, personalities, and routines. I prioritize a calm, secure, and consistent environment while closely following your care instructions. I’m also a big communicator! I know how much it means to stay connected, so you can expect plenty of updates and photos of your furry family members while you’re away.
About: I have had two dogs in my life but have been the “best aunt ever” for many of my brothers and friends dogs. I understand that not all dogs are the same, they have their preferences, their likes/dislikes, and their levels of activity and stimulus. As a sitter I believe it’s important to keep up with the pets regular routine as much as possible by following the rules established by their owners. I love to spoil a dog and take them on more walks and more cuddles than normal because when owners/parents are on vacation i want the pet to have a fun vacation as well. I currently don’t have any pets so am able to care for the animal that needs to be an “only pet”. But I have friends and neighbors with dogs so I also have a way to help they socialize. I work a full time job but can do it from anywhere with internet. My job is pretty flexible so if I need to walk a dog at a certain time or have a cat sit on my lap all day I can usually make that work. I have a fully fenced in yard with lots of fun smells. Most of the yard is five+ feet fence but some is a traditional chainlink fence. We have a magnetic screen on the back door so when the weather is nice we have the option of opening the door so the dog and go in and out as much as they want. We also have a full door that can be closed if the pet needs someone with them when in the yard.
About: I have had cats and dogs in my household my entire life, I take care of them at home and also for many neighbors, and they continue to request my services. I love Animals I take car of the pets in our house and enjoy hanging out with them on a daily basis. I watch pets in our neighborhood almost every week as our neighbors have come to enjoy and rely on my pet care services I have watched pets in my home but have additionally visited neighbors and stayed at their home to watch pets overnight. I am comfortable caring for pets in any of these enviroments.
“This is our 1st time using the Rover app and feel blessed to have found Kristen....It was apparent from our 1st meeting she was going to love our kitties....They are not used to being around strangers but over the course of the time they all learnt to trust her...Well she was feeding them...LOL..Thank you Kristen for your fun daily updates and pictures...You are the BEST..XX”
“I very much appreciate Sierra coming to care for my cat, Peepers. I know my kitty is well cared for when I’m not home. Sierra is kind, punctual and a real pet lover. I’m grateful to have found her on Rover and highly recommend her for your pets too! 😻”
“Mauren was fantastic, communicated clearly and often, and my usually territorial, hateful, hissing kitties actually liked her the moment they met her!”
“Great communication. We had a dialogue about what our dogs prefer. They came through for us in an emergency situation on short notice too and we couldnt be happier with their help. After they sent us the photos of our happy pups playing in the yard.”
“Our dogs are happy when we leave so they can have their BFF Sharron come to play! Wipes away the guilt of being away when they feel like they’re on their own vacation.”
About: Hi! My name is Quinn and I’ve been caring for my own dogs for over 10 years and have extensive experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with nervous, reactive, and senior dogs, and I understand the patience and care they need—my own dog is a senior, too. I’m currently completing a dog training apprenticeship, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality while helping them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I strive to provide compassionate, reliable care that’s tailored to every dog’s individual needs. I’m also proud to offer a welcoming, inclusive environment and am LGBTQ+ (queer and trans) and disability friendly. I currently work hybrid and have plenty of time to be inclusive of many schedules! I also will be moving to part time work which will open my schedule even more I always tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine and needs. Before each booking, I like to learn about their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, favorite activities, and any medical or behavioral considerations so I can provide consistent, low-stress care. In a client’s home, I treat both their pets and their home with the utmost respect. I’ll follow all care instructions closely, provide plenty of love, enrichment, walks or playtime as appropriate, administer medications if needed, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and safe.
About: I have grown up around pets all of my life, having had multiple dogs and cats throughout. As a teenager, I would be trusted by neighbors to sit multiple pets at a time while they went on vacation. More than that, I am familiar with senior pet care and administering oral medicine. I am currently working part-time so I am available and ready to handle pet care most days of the week, including weekends. More, I am able to do early morning and late night care. I can create a safe environment for your pet by finding their comfort and acknowledging what they need within the home. Likewise, on walks, I am able to handle large dogs and other animal contact, making sure your pet stays safe in my care.
“Tanya was able to cover for our typical dog sitter last minute and did a fantastic job! She took our dog on long walks both visits which Teddy definitely enjoyed!”
About: I have experience providing pet sitting services for families outside of Rover, caring for both cats and dogs in their homes. My responsibilities have included feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications when needed, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs on walks, giving plenty of playtime and attention, and maintaining each pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to build trust with each animal and provide patient, compassionate care. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I'm currently on summer break between high school and college, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to care for your pets. I can provide lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I'm committed to making sure your pets stick to their normal routine and feel comfortable while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while following all care instructions exactly as requested. I respect your home, keep a close eye on your pet's well-being, and always make sure they are safe, happy, and well cared for until you return.
About: I love animals and I love a good nature walk. You can be sure your animal will not only be in good care but also in nature and ready for a nap when you get home. I am a part yoga instructor/business owner. With that I am able to create a flexible work for myself all the time. Meaning I can not only help you out with your animal but if you want I could teach you some yoga. I have an environment best suited for either a city/apartment living dog or cat. I live very close to Loring and Walker Arts, so there are plenty of walking trails near me.
“What a blessing to find Juli! She is so knowledgeable about dogs and has so much love for them. My Valentine has a special bond with her. I recommend her without any hesitation. Thanks Juli!”
“Cindy is always very attentive to the needs of our cat and is a great communicator. She lets us know what she observes about his behavior and has great problem solving skills. We rest a lot easier when we know she’s looking in on him!”
About: Someone who grew up with at least two rescue dogs in the house at all time, a few cats and horses, I've taken care of animals of all sizes, breeds, personalities, ages, and needs throughout my lifetime. I've even seen kittens born! I raised and loved the one I chose to mine, finally saying goodbye when she reached the ripe age of 21. Whether it is puppies / kittens, mid-life, or elderly I have experienced all the life stages of our fur babies. I've also dealt with the not so fun parts of being a fur baby parent. From cleaning up hairballs or puke because the dog decided to eat grass, cleaning a dog who decided it was a good idea to go for a swim in the pond, or literally breaking up cat fights... I've been there. Because I teach, and right now school is out, I would be home during the majority of the day during the summer for pet sitting. Come the school year, I would be away between school hours. Because right now I'm working part-time I have plenty of extra time to fit walking your fur baby into my schedule! I have a large porch which leads down to a fenced-in yard. My fur baby personally loves sunning himself on the porch or going down to the yard and just exploring. The apartment itself is a renovated music studio so it is wide, spacious, and beautifully designed. Your fur baby would have his own feeding area and you are welcome to bring any toys or other comfort items. I've had to board my cat before so I know how important the small things are.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Falcon Heights is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Falcon Heights
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.
My dog Maggie grew comfortable with Hailey almost immediately. Hailey possesses a very calm and poised demeanor, perfect for our reactive dog. It's obvious that Hailey is very comfortable around animals, showing excellent attentiveness and situational awareness with Maggie. I recommend Hailey as a dog sitter!

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.

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.
