“With the weather and really warm temps this week, this was a last minute booking that allowed Ludo to get in the house during the hottest part of the day after spending the morning and early afternoon outside. Amber was able to accommodate the last minute request and help out with that!”
“First time Rover user and Tanya made the experience super memorable!!! She was very attentive, communicative, and loving towards my kitties! She provided a peace of mind that I needed while out of town!! ❤️”
“Rachel was amazing with our dog and two cats. You can tell right away how much she truly cares about animals. Our dog got all the exercise and attention she needs, and our cats were happy and relaxed. Rachel was great about checking in and sending photos, which we really appreciated — it made being away so much easier. We felt totally comfortable knowing our pets were in such good hands. They all love her, and we would absolutely book with her again.”
About: With over 25 years of dedicated pet care experience, combining a deep passion for animals with unparalleled expertise. Specializing in dogs of all breeds and sizes, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. From daily walks to overnight stays, your furry family members receive the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. Reliable, professional pet sitting and walking services that keep tails wagging and owners at ease. Our Home & Yard: Pups who stay with us get to enjoy a spacious lakeside backyard with plenty of room to run, sniff, explore, and relax. 🌿🐾 The yard is partially fenced, with an opening for lake access, so all outdoor time is fully supervised. There are shady spots for downtime between play sessions. In the summer months, dogs can swim in the lake (with owner permission only). Just let us know if your pup is a swimmer and has your OK to go in. Although I will be the primary care taker, my wife and I work from home full time Monday through Friday. We love to spend our free time taking care of our sweet boy Koda who is a 5 year old labradoodle. He gets along great with other dogs and loves friends. I have a home in a quiet community which is fenced. This allows the dogs to run freely outside for potty breaks and exercise for the pups.
About: My dogs have always been very high needs growing up, so I have a lot of experience working with different diets, medications, and needs. I'm an athlete, so I can take them out for long periods of time to get exercise as needed, which can be really helpful for hyperactive dogs who have to be cooped up during the day. I'm also entirely capable of caring for senior dogs, I can take things at their pace and make sure they're comfortable and happy. I am currently a full time college student, but I have a lot of open time either between classes or after them. I commute to the Twin Cities from the suburbs, so I can easily travel wherever I am needed to be able to check in on or take care of your furry friends. Being in the cities with my own car I can take dogs out for walks around the lakes or down some of the trails nearby so they (and I) can get some proper exercise before my classes. When caring for pets, I always make sure they are getting plenty of time to move around, especially if I'm just dropping in to check on them, but regardless of the need. I like to keep a checklist of what I need to get done, as well as just having a bit of time to play with or pet them. I can take pets out for walks on foot or with my roller skates, which lets me go longer distances with them. I make sure to clean up any messes I might make, putting everything back as I found it and keeping things nice and tidy for when you get home again. I'm confident staying in new places, and can make sure everything stays safe in your home or space during my time there.

About: Im a proud cat mom to two beautiful Scottish cats, As a cat parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your babies while you’re away. I know that feeling of wanting them to be safe, comfortable, loved, and not feel alone. That’s one of the reasons I decided to become a cat sitter. I understand how much our cats mean to us because mine are family too. When I visit your home, I’ll make sure your babies receive plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles (if they want them!), fresh food and water, and lots of love. My goal is not just to check on your cats, but to spend quality time with them so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved until you return home. I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family members are in kind and caring hands. From one cat parent to another, I promise to treat your babies like they’re my own. ❤️🐾 I am working full time but i would be glad to help out pet owners with their fur babies, like walking their dogs, pet sit We are a pet friendly family, no other pets at home although we have no fence yard - so, i would just gladly take cats and or visit your home, walk dog as well.
About: I've taking care of dogs most of my adult life. I have worked in a dog salon as a bather/receptionist. I have experience bathing, drying, nail trims on dogs ranging from chihuahuas to newfoundlands. I lived with my sister helping take care of her two dogs, beagle and husky border collie mix. I'm currently working full time school hours, 930am to 4pm. I have more availability of weekends for dog ditting and anytime during the week for cat sitting. I live in an apartment. I have a seperate space to place any animals that do not get along with my resident cats. I love going for walks for potty breaks since I do not have a yard.
“Whitney did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were out of town! She gave them plenty of care and attention and they were very happy when we got back. I loved all the pictures and detailed updates with every visit too.”
“Carter does a fantastic job taking care of my senior cat, managing his meds (including injections), and giving him attention and care. They also go above and beyond by making sure things around my home are cleaned and tidy. Always impressed with Carter's service!”
About: I lived with 2 cats for a majority of my life. I have experience watching animals for family and friends, looking to meet new best friends. I am currently working full time and going to school part time to earn my master’s degree. Looking for a fun side job to keep life interesting. I am open to having the animals out in the open or crated when not around. Would love to have a yard to play with animals, but not opposed to going to local parks.
About: I have been involved in small animals care for roughly 8 years, with 4+ years being a veterinary assistant. I have experiences in walking, feeding, bathing and nail trimming, administering medicine for various size and age of pups. I have the pickiest and most difficult patient ever - Kit Kat, my 14-year-old miniature poodle. My heart has a special place for senior dogs yet I can also be playful with puppies. I also have a 2-year-old chocolate lab mix with medical conditions and an 8-month-old puppy, Winnie. I am a worrier, especially when I am not home with my dogs. I am certified in basic life support and advanced life support (RECOVERY), which I obtained through working in animal ER. Being around animals is not a job or hobby, it is a great part of my life which brings me so much joy! I am a veterinary student at the University of Minnesota. Because of my class schedule, I do not work full-time at the moment. This allows me to have a few hours through out the day and a few days a week, which I can utilize to help your pets. I am a worrier, especially when I am not home with my dogs. I totally understand your concerns and will do my best to resolve them! I am happy to send updates regularly and a few snapshots, of course.
About: I have a bit more varied experience than some. When I was young, we had a veritable zoo, and I haven't stopped having animals since. I've never not had a dog and was made responsible for over 30 miniature horses whenever their owner needed it. I also have experience with ferrets, cats, parakeets, parrots, and lizards. I will say if you need to look after something more exotic (and demanding) we would need to talk first. My dog is also quite old and has a lot of health problems, so I am familiar with handling these. I work Mondays from 12-7 and Tuesdays through Thursday I work 10-4. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I have mostly open availability with the exception that I occasionally have work events. Each animal is different, and so I would strive to find that balance with your dog. Every dog plays a bit different or might need their food handled differently. While I can't take animals into my home at the present, I will strive to be as careful with meeting their needs as I do my own pup at home.
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!
“Lori was so excellent to our super senior kitty! She did oral meds twice a day and helped make sure she was eating and adjusting to her environment comfortably. Lori sent plenty of updates and pictures and made us feel very comfortable leaving our prescious little old lady with her.”
About: Hi, I’m ketzia Animals have always been a huge part of my life from daily walks to grooming and cuddles, I love giving pets the same love and care I give my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, basic grooming, and even giving medication when needed. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I currently don’t have a job at the moment !. So this dog/cat sitting would work perfect for me. I am available from 8am- whenever my shift is over ! weekdays and weekends!. At my house I have a fence in my back yard . We have a door to open and close the fence !. So mo animals could or would even escape !.
“Our cats were very well taken care of. Samantha provided daily feedback and pictures. She even got the picky one to eat and sit with her. Would happily have her pet sit for us again.”
“Erica was wonderful! She took very good care of my cats while I was on vacation and was super good about communicating and sending updates and photos. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to take care of your animals. She went above and beyond what I expected and was also very thoughtful and accommodating. Thanks again for everything!”

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Ham Lake is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $31 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
