“Tanya was so nice and great with our senior cat Lilly. We felt worry free knowing Lilly would be well taken care of while we were away. We received many photos and notes with each stay! Thank you 💕”

About: Hi, I’m Amelia — lifelong animal lover, professional cuddler, enthusiastic dog-walker, and firm believer that every pet deserves to be treated like the VIP they are. 🐾 Whether your pup wants to run around the park until their tongue is on the ground, your kitty prefers a quiet afternoon of cuddles, or your pet’s idea of fun is simply having someone around to keep them company, I’m here for it! I love animals of all shapes, sizes, personalities, and levels of chaos. I’ll happily match their energy — from adventure buddy to couch companion — and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and treats (where permitted, of course!). Your pets are family, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I'm always outdoors and I love exploring new parks. I have a flexible work schedule and I'm always up early. Whether it's early morning walks, lunch time to run around the park, or an evening stroll to get some of that energy out, I get joy out of being outside and being active, and I will bring your pet with me and we'll have a blast. First and foremost, I respect your rules in terms of indoor, outdoor or outside time. I always clean up after your pets, whether it's outside or in the litter box. I make sure their water is always fresh and any stray food is cleaned up. I love to brush and snuggle, making sure your pet is getting the attention they need, especially when they're human is away.

About: I bring a strong foundation of trust, safety, and attentiveness from my background in law enforcement, along with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy, working breeds that require structure and engagement, to puppies needing patience and consistency, as well as older dogs who benefit from a calmer, attentive approach. I have experience with basic obedience reinforcement, leash handling, and reading canine behavior to ensure safe, positive interactions at all times. I’m also knowledgeable in pet safety and emergency awareness, with training that supports quick, calm decision-making if needed. As someone who prioritizes physical health and an active lifestyle, I enjoy providing dogs with the exercise, stimulation, and attention they need to stay happy and well-balanced. Whether your dog needs structured walks, playtime, or just reliable, loving care while you’re away, I’m confident and comfortable handling it all. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I’m typically available from the early morning through the evening, with the most flexibility during daytime hours. Because my schedule is adaptable, I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine—whether that means an early-morning walk, a midday check-in, feeding, playtime, or evening care. I’m open to adjusting my availability when needed and working with owners to find a schedule that best fits their pets’ needs. My goal is to make pet care feel consistent, reliable, and stress-free for both you and your pet while you’re away. As a former law enforcement officer, safety, responsibility, and trust have always been at the heart of what I do. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving both your pet and your home in someone else’s care—and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. When caring for your pet, I treat your home with the same respect and attention to detail I would expect in my own. I’m mindful of doors, gates, alarms, keys, access points, and anything else that helps keep your home secure while you’re away. I’m also attentive to your pet’s surroundings and routines to help prevent accidents, escapes, or anything that could put them at risk. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I take the time to understand their personality, routines, needs, and boundaries rather than treating every pet the same. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, needs extra patience, is shy around new people, or simply wants some companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pet is receiving attentive, dependable care—and that your home is being treated with the same level of respect and responsibility. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, and communication throughout the visit so you never have to wonder how things are going. My goal is for you to feel confident and reassured from the moment you hand over the leash to the moment you walk back through your door.

About: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable pet lover in blaine who understands that pets are family. I’m here to give your dog or cat plenty of attention, patience, playtime, walks, and affection while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a drop in visit, feeding, cuddles, or someone to keep them company, I will follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, communicative, and will treat your fur baby with the same care I would give my own. I have experience with my own animals and family and friends animals I start school October 5th and have lots of down time from 1pm-6pm so pet care fits in really well with my schedule. And I’m always looking for things to do. I always watch for body language and signs of animals being stressed or in uncomfortable situations and as soon as I notice anything odd I remove them from that situation.

“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: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while you’re away. I’ve spent several years working in veterinary medicine, where I’ve cared for animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. My experience has taught me how to recognize changes in behavior, administer medications when needed, and help pets feel comfortable and safe, even in unfamiliar situations. Pet care naturally fits into my weekly routine because caring for animals is already what I do every day. I work full-time in veterinary medicine, so my schedule revolves around the health and well-being of pets. Through Rover, I’m excited to spend even more time doing what I love by providing personalized care outside of the clinic. I’m available for visits on select workdays, especially before or after my shifts, and I have much greater flexibility on my days off. I’m available for visits on select workdays, especially before or after my shifts, and I have much greater flexibility on my days off for walks, drop-in visits, and extended care. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to provide reliable, compassionate care that fits seamlessly into their routine while giving you peace of mind.

About: Hi, I’m Bree! I’ve had pets my entire life and have always been a little obsessed with animals. I have two Frenchies of my own, so I know firsthand that pets have their own personalities, routines, and very (emphasis on very!) strong opinions. I used to sit regularly through Rover and am getting back into it, focusing on walks and drop-ins for now. I’ll give your pets plenty of attention, snuggles (if they want, of course), stick to their routine, and treat them like they’re my own. And yes, I will absolutely send you a photo (or ten!) of your dog looking cute while you’re away!

“Subi provided excellent care for our two older cats for over 2 weeks on a daily basis with special attention to the individual feeding requirements for each of our cats We were provided pictures each day of the the food, water and cleaned litter box, along with cute snapshots of our cats in various places. Subi took care of a a few extra requests as well, including watering a droopy plant and locating the robotic vacuum cleaner and placing it back on its dock for the next cycle of cleaning. We returned home to calm contented cats. We appreciate all the Subi did for our cats and our peace of mind.”

About: I’m a K9 trainer with six years of experience, including three years working professionally. I work with dogs every day and am Canine and Feline CPR certified. I also own an Australian Shepherd who excels in agility, games, and service dog tasks. Training and caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me, it’s my career and my passion, and I love being able to share that with others. I work full time doing K9 training and taking care of boarding dogs, but I still make time throughout the day to look after additional pets. My schedule is flexible, and I even have the option to bring dogs with me to work, giving them extra attention and enrichment. I make sure my own dog’s needs are met every day with activities that keep him happy and fulfilled, and I bring that same level of care to every client’s pet. I take the time to ensure each dog is comfortable, well cared for, and has their unique needs met. I truly enjoy meeting new dogs and learning their personalities and quirks, it’s one of the best parts of what I do.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication and patience. I have taken care of dogs ranging from 2 years or to 17 years old. I have experience with older dog and having to clean up accidents as well. I currently have a full time job that I work from 8:30-5pm Monday-Thursday, 9-3 on Fridays. With early communication I am willing to make adjustments to accommodate if it makes sense. I would prefer to watch your pet in their environment. I think it helps them feel more comfortable with me and being in a space they know.

About: Have a family of 3 dogs and 2 cats and my family and I love our messy and hyper fur kids, no matter the situation we do research to avoid getting our fur kids sick and keep them feeling loved and relaxed :) I graduated from college this past summer and am working part time jobs so I have time to take care of friendly pets of any kinds and more than happy to house sit as well for any vacations! We have a fenced yard and we have a crate to put them in when they are doing naughty behaviors like digging through the trash or grabbing things (like food on the table) when they aren’t supposed to. I take them on walks and give them toys to play with as they love tug of war and enrichment toys to keep them busy while we are otherwise we cuddle and watch tv on the couch in my free time.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Ham Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Ham Lake on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,336 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Ham Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ham Lake stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Ham Lake 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 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 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. 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.

To find sitters in Ham Lake with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ham Lake. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
