“Christy is amazing! She did an excellent job cat-sitting. She took time to pet and play with our younger cats every time she stopped by. So many great photos and updates! Christy went above and beyond by ensuring our snakes had water. I very much appreciate that she was comfortable caring for reptiles. I’ll absolutely be calling in Christy again.”
About: I’m a student at the University of St. Thomas and a lifelong dog lover who would love to spend my free time caring for and walking dogs! Having owned a dog myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to treat your pet like family. I’m responsible, dependable, active, and will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love while they’re in my care. I’d love the opportunity to become one of your dog’s favorite walking buddies! I am currently a full time student and working part time. However, I have gaps in my schedule I would love to spend caring for dogs! I have a yard for your dog roam around while being watched. I think it is important to always important to keep an eye on each pup both at my home and client’s houses.
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs for most of my life. My family, friends and neighbors have relied on me watching their pups while on vacation or even for a day! I love taking them on walks and bringing them to the dog parks. I’m very used to and love cuddly pups and pups that love to play! I am currently in college so I am unavailable until 1 pm every weekday, but my evenings and some weekends are open almost every week! I have an invisible fenced yard with 3 young pups who love to roam around and spend time in the yard, but we also have a leash put out just incase! I can easily wait outside with your pup while going potty, and easily put them in the crate if needed! My pups are allowed everywhere in the house, on furniture, sleep in beds, etc.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for neighbors for over 10 years and have also worked at a doggy daycare in Columbia Heights. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide reliable pet care. I’m very experienced with managing my schedule and making sure each dog’s needs come first. I make time for regular feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their care instructions and give their pets everything they need. During visits, I’ll feed them, let them outside or take them for a walk, and spend time playing with them to help get their energy out. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and are comfortable before I leave.

Also the proud owner of 1 Bombay cat. Not much specialized experience, but wide open availability to help at run of the mill drop ins and/or walks. Hope to meet you! Newly unemployed, so availability is quite literally wide open! I would like to avoid far drives.

“Tara checked in daily on our two cats while we were away for 8 days. She was a great communicator, always letting us know when she would be there and how the kitties were doing.”
About: I have a full time job working with people with disabilities. I currently have two cats. I was a dog owner. I would love to have a hobby farm one day to rescue animals of all kinds. I have plenty of house sitting experience and fur baby sitting experience. I would love to help out a busy person when I am able to. Weekends I am usually available fully, during the week it would be around and in between work hours..breaks ect. or how ever we decide the schedule will be based on our schedules and your needs. I love every animal as of they were my own. It would be wonderful if I can be of any assistance. I look forward to building up a relationship.
About: I’m an Animal Care Technician working for my CVT. I am CPR trained for dogs/cats. I foster cats and volunteer at humane societies. I have experience in medicine, disabilities and restrictions. I have had cat and dog litters ( and I can handle the mess! Haha!) I love to provide healthy treat options and enrichment for animals. Ask about a free nail trim!! I want to enjoy the weather so walks will be long and enjoyable! I’m close to a dog park too! I foster but sometimes that is unpredictable with when they will be adopted so I am looking for more of a schedule. I encourage play and lick/treat enrichment to tire out the free loaders for a long nap and cuddles. My dogs go outside 2/3 times a day but if your baby needs more I am happy to do so! This time can also be used for simple training or combing ( we don’t do it enough). I encourage independent play, co-playing and group playing. Some dogs don't like sharing and I get it!
About: Introduction Hi! My name is Lori and I LOVE ALL ANIMALS! I am recently retired and I always said that when I had time, I'd spend my days helping animals, however possible. I am so excited to finally be in a place where I can make that happen! If you would help me get my new focus started, I'll offer you a $20 discount and I will treat your pet like family! I’m an experienced pet caregiver with over 40 years of hands-on time caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, and a genuine passion for ensuring pets feel happy and at home while their families are away. I have a special spot in my heart for senior dogs and cats but I also love puppies and kittens, and everything in between! I've cared for my own dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, and birds for over 40 years, so I understand the daily routines, quirks, and needs of all kinds of companions. I'm especially attuned to dogs and cats—I read their body language exceptionally well and know what they're "saying. "For example, a slow blink from a cat is their way of saying "I love you," while a soft "mee mee" often means "come here." With dogs, I always approach respectfully: letting them sniff my open palm first (never reaching over their head, as it can feel dominant), then gently petting the shoulder and down the side. Energy matters so much—staying calm, happy, and positive helps even anxious pets relax quickly. I have a whole "warehouse" of these insights from years of close observation, and I love using them to build trust and joy. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely excited to care for your pets as if they were my own. I'll play with them, give plenty of love and cuddles, follow your instructions to a T, and make sure they feel at home. Being away from your furry family is tough—I get it, and I'll do my best to keep things feeling normal and happy for them (and send you lots of updates and pictures so you can see for yourself!). I can provide most of the same loving care as other sitters—feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, toy fun, and house check-ins—but due to some mobility limits, I focus on shorter, gentle walks (up to about 15 minutes) or indoor/outdoor potty time and enrichment instead of longer neighborhood strolls. This works wonderfully for calmer dogs, seniors, smaller breeds, or cats who prefer cozy companionship. I'm happy to adapt to your pet's energy level and needs! I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! What I'll need from you Age, personality/behavior, feeding routine and amounts, typical daily schedule, house rules, any favorite toys/treats, if they can have people food, medical needs, and anything else that helps me care for them just the way you do. No strong breed preferences—I'm happy with all! Let's Get Started! Availability I'm generally flexible and can arrange visits to fit your pet's schedule—morning, midday, evening, and bedtime routines. I can do drop-in visits, overnight sitting (if selected), or daily check-ins to ensure they're fed, pottied, loved, and happy throughout the day. A typical day We'll start with feeding, fresh water, and a gentle potty break or short walk if your pet enjoys it. Then lots of playtime with toys, gentle petting and interaction based on their cues, maybe some training games or just relaxing together. I'll refill water as needed, clean up any messes, and give plenty of love and attention. Everything will be done with your preferences in mind, plus updates and photos for you!
“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.”
“Allene had been an awesome drop in sitter for our dog Lucka. Always great communicator and takes care of business so we know he is well cared for while we are at work!”
About: I’m still getting into caring for pets but I truly love being around dogs all sizes and ages! I’m patient and understand trust takes time, and I enjoy earning trust and wagging tails from all dogs I come across! I currently work part time with Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays open. As a college student not able to have pets I’m excited to be able to help out anyone with a walk, especially as a walker myself on the regular. Unfortunately I don’t have a space to pet sit in my own residence, but I always make sure not to enter a home abruptly or quickly, and to let all pets sniff before I move!

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.

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 .
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 , 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 .
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.
