“Sophie is very attentive and my kitties totally adore her! Her updates are always informative and I love getting such cute pictures of my little guys. We’ve booked with her twice and plan to call on her again!”
“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.”

About: I have always been an animal lover. I enjoy being outside and getting exercise, and love four-legged companions to keep me going! I am patient and kind. I have worked at a vet clinic for 9 years. I am consistent and reliable. I have reliable transportation. I can cater to each dog and cat based on their needs, wants, age, limitations, etc. I have yet to find an animal I don't love, and enjoy helping others and keeping costs low. I know boarding can get expensive, so hopefully I can alleviate some of the financial strain while keeping your pet happy! Recent grad from the college of veterinary medicine at the university of Minnesota. I have worked at the vet clinic at the U for 9 years and volunteer and foster for a rescue that takes in senior cases. I will follow any and all rules to keep your pet happy and healthy. I can walk pets on a leash, observe in a fenced in area, or play inside.
“Thank you, Phoebe for taking such good care of our cats while we were on vacation! It meant a lot to read your details about how they were handling our absence: eating, behavior, etc. We were able to relax & have fun, instead of worrying! You did a super job handling all the things I requested at the house, and we came home to find everything in order and the cats well-adjusted & happy. Thanks a million for showing great care with Holly & Daffodil!”
About: I've had cats since I was a child. Neighbors, roommates, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of pets when they are gone. This has included feeding at a specific time in a specific way and at times giving medication. With a former roommate, I also found and rescued a young female cat during law school, and she turned out to be pregnant. We bathed and brushed her several times to get rid of fleas, got her spayed after pregnancy, and rehomed the kittens. I've had my own cat for a few years now, and I understand needing to maintain their routine and monitoring diet to address issues such as regurgitation of food due to poor city water quality or eating too fast or sensitive stomach issues. I am an attorney and can visit the cats in the mornings and evenings and during the weekend at regular times and ensure they receive love and playtime. I do not care for pets in my home, as my apartment is too small and my cat is more of an only child. However, I am very much able to spend at least a couple hours each day with my clients' cat(s) to feed them, maintain cleanliness of their spaces, play with them with their favorite toys, and give them pets as each cat prefers.
About: Hello, my name is Claire. I have been lucky enough to grow up surrounded by dogs and cats, and have pet sat many times for friends and family. Because of this, I have learned to care for animals at every stage of life. My experience ranges from command and walk training for puppies, to adhering to a regimented medicine routine for senior dogs, to doing daily playtime and pet waste clean-up. I am very tidy, organized, and am happy to adapt to you and your pets' needs. I also love to spend time outside, so I can promise plenty of walks and safe outside time for your pet. I'm excited to meet and care for your furry friend! I am a graduate student at the U of Minnesota, but I will have time outside of class for your dogs. I am most available to stay over on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights, as well as Wednesday and Friday during the day. On weekdays, I will be out for several hours at school in the middle of the day, but will be available for drop in visits or walks during the morning and late afternoon. While I do not offer boarding pets in my home, I am happy to do home visits that adhere to your pets' routine. I will respect what time they typically eat meals, wake up, play, go outside, and walk, as well as where they sleep in your home. I will also ensure that your home is kept clean during my stay.
“Ava was really amazing. She was very professional, and above all she was very thoughtful, kind and caring with our senior with special needs dog. She met with us prior to our scheduled drop ins so she was familiar with Cole’s needs and routines. She was an exceptional communicator, sending pictures and updating us with how things were going, and very understanding with our shy senior dog. We would highly recommend her and definitely look forward to using her again!”
“Rob is a great cat sitter, he follows directions well and always attends to my Stella. They made friends right away. Ssure hope he’s available when I need cat sitting again! Thx, Rob😸”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds and a wide variety of other animals. I’m excited to meet your pet and provide them everything they need! As a student in wildlife biology I have a fairly flexible schedule. Please contact me about days that are not immediately listed on my profile. Walks, cuddles, feeding, playing, medicating, cleaning up after, and general husbandry/enrichment are just the start of what I can provide for your pets. Please let me know about any particular services you may need!
“Abby was so great. She was flexible and accommodating with a challenging situation and communication was great throughout the booking. Would 100% come to her again for sitting my pet!”
About: Proudly rocking three years' pet sitting experience during college caring for cats, dogs, and reptiles. I grew up having hamsters, lizards, a hedgehog, and cats. I just adore animals. Full-time Twin Cities actor with flexible daytime availability, seeking fulfilling side work—nothing makes me happier than caring for your adorable fur babies with love. Unfortunately animals are not allowed in my own due to my roommates allergies but I would treat caring for your fur baby in your home as if it was my owns with the upmost care and respect.
“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.”
“Natalie was fantastic. We used her for a drop in visit so the dogs didn't have such a long day by themselves. She sent a nice update and some pictures. It was all greatly appreciated!”
About: I've cared for two dogs as I grew up, and look forward to caring for more. I have done many long walks and dog park hiking with my golden doodle, and have also done some training as well. I know how to take care of puppies and adult dogs, but would love to learn how to take care of special needs and senior dogs. Dogs, like mine, are energetic and need lots of exercise, so I am always willing to play or exercise with dogs. Over the summer (June-August), I am free most afternoons and some evenings the whole week. During the school year, (September-May) I am more available during the weekends, but still free during some afternoon/evenings during the week, which I'll update as I get my schedule. At home, I care for my dog by giving him plenty of snuggles, but also getting up and playing with him when he lets me know he wants to play. I am alert and can sense what my dog may need, such as going potty, playing, or eating. When walking/going to the dog park, I watch over my dog at all times, and walk along with him. During walks, I make sure that he is safe to walk and sniff the whole time. At dog parks, I encourage him to meet other dogs and run around while still being present. I notice when my dog gets tired or needs water, and I am prepared by bringing a water bottle.
“Grace has been the best - she handles my reactive doggo wonderfully and the photos I get make my day every time; I truly look forward to getting the daily updates at work. 1 month of dog watching and I’m super grateful for her punctuality and flexibility.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Falcon Heights
Mita is wonderful!!! She took amazing care of my cat while I was out of the country for 2 weeks. My kitty was so happy to have a lap to lay on and be petted everyday. Mita also made sure auto litterbox, feeder, and fountain were kept full and functioning. Her willingness to adjust her schedule to my overseas time difference was great of her. I would absolutely book her again and 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. :)
Olivia was great! She was responsive in communications with me, consistent in her visits, listened to what my cat needed, kind and caring. She sent short sweet messages each day with cute pics to let me know my cat was well taken care of. I’d surely book Olivia again!
We asked Tyler to do a drop-in visit for our three cats while away for the weekend, and he did a great job. Our cats were happy when we arrived home. Litter robot had adequate litter, water fountain and food bowls were full. One of our cats is very shy, he put in effort to find her to know that she’s well but ultimately respected her boundaries and put wet food in a safe space for her. Would definitely recommend tyler to others needing a rover sitter and would love to hire him again! Thanks again

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Falcon Heights is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 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 October 2026, there are 5,879 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Falcon Heights. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
