“Elizabeth always goes above and beyond to care for our dogs. You can tell this is her priority above all else, and always ensures they are safe and taken care of. 10/5 would recommend”
About: I have years of experience taking care of dogs from all ranges of mobility, energy, size, and needs. Last year my puppy passed from bone cancer and with that came an extensive medicine regimen. I am comfortable giving medication and providing extra care for those senior dogs. I also have history with enrichment activities and playtime for those pups with extra energy. I am currently pursing my M.A. in English Literature at St. Thomas. I have class two days a week in the evening, but when I am not doing that I am either doing Fellowship work or am hanging out with my friends and their pets! My family has had pets in all locations from small backyards, to expansive acres, to a two bedroom apartment. I am comfortable navigating care and safety in all in environments to ensure your pet returns back to their home.
“Abrielle took great care of our kitty and gave him lots of love while we were gone. She also sent tons of updates and videos which were fun to see. Thanks Abrielle!”
“Emily did a fantastic job taking care of my two kitties!! I appreciated her thoughtful approach to earning their trust, and my shy cat even warmed up to her. Emily kept me updated on her drop-in visits and sent lots of lovely pics. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats (and plants) were well taken care of. I would not hesitate to have Emily watch my cats again!”
“Thank you Molly for taking care of our shy cat! We appreciated your clear communication and professionalism. Most of all, we're grateful for your love of animals. We are grateful for you!”
“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!”
“Cassian was great with our boys. He took time with them he brushed them they hung out on the porch, everyday. He kept me updated on a daily basis on how thing was going. Hr sent lots of pics. I'm really happy with Cassian and I would recommand him to others. With Cassian I was worry free being away from my boy. Thank you Cassian!!!”
“Taylor did a great job tending to Jacks needs over the weekend and being flexible moving his Sunday check in time-she even went above and beyond and brought in our heavy packages!”
“Abigail was great with my cat Pinecone! She took the time to find him and play with him during every visit. I get nervous about leaving him for longer trips, but I felt so confident in Abigail’s ability to provide amazing care for him!”
“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 :)”
“Tyler did a great job taking care of George and Marco! Thank you Tyler for stepping in to help at such short notice! I really appreciate you and you professionalism!✨”
About: With over 8 years of experience in animal care, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, rats, and even lizards! I’m confident handling pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions who need a bit of extra TLC. I also have experience administering medications like pills, topical creams, and pet inhalers. I’m always happy to learn your pet’s unique routine and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m a student at the University of Minnesota and love spending my free time caring for animals. While my weekday schedule is limited due to classes and work, I’m fully available on Fridays and weekends and would be happy to dedicate that time to pet care. I look forward to meeting new pets and giving them the attention they deserve! Since I care for pets in their own homes, I always try to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I stick to their usual routine—whether that means walks, meals, playtime, or meds—whatever they need to feel at ease. I know how important it is to have someone you trust in your home, so I’m always respectful of your space and do my best to leave things just as I found them (or better!). I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured while you're away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and try to make the time you're gone as stress-free as possible for both of you.
“Hannah was absolutely fantastic with our pups over the weekend! She did great with administering oral medication to our senior dog and arrived on time and stayed the full length of the visit for every visit. Our dogs love her and we can’t wait to book with her next time!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“We have entrusted the health and happiness of our two senior cats to Phoebe several times now. She always communicates so well, takes great care of the boys (one who requires insulin injections 2x daily), and makes it possible for us to leave home without worry. We still miss our pets, but know with Phoebe’s care they will be AOK!”

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!
This is the third time we have worked with Amanda to watch our cat on a prolonged trip. She takes such good care of our kitty. Amanda sends lots of photos, and our cat loves playing with her. Handing off of keys is easy, and she’s extremely flexible. We’ll absolutely work with her 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

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 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.

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 Meet & Greet .
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.
