About: My name is Corrie and I love animals, I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and 2 kids. They mean so much to me. I have a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I love going for walks with my dogs. I have a big yard that's 2.5 acres and we roam around the whole thing. Some of it's long grass so I will check for ticks. I cut or file my own dogs nails as well and can offer that if needed depending how well the dog or cat does. I work full time but work from home some days of the week, Wednesdays and Fridays. We are available in evenings and weekends. Especially in the winter. We have a large yard. Most of the time we let the dogs out on a 50 foot leash for quick potty breaks. Rocky is allowed to roam a little. Otherwise we walk the dogs around the yard or neighborhood. Have a large crate when needed.

About: From dogs to cats (and even a bearded dragon), I've done it all. I understand how nerve racking it can be to leave your animal with someone you barely know so I'll do the following to make sure you can feel confident your pets are being well taken care of while you're away: - Multiple updates throughout the day confirming eating and bathroom habits - Pictures of the activities we've been up to - A detailed daily plan developed to make sure we never miss a beat with their normal routine Reach out so we can develop a plan that meets your needs! Im free for walks after work during week days which is typically around 5 PM (depending if I'm working from home or on-site). On Thursday and Friday, I have midday availability depending on travel distance - reach out and we can talk through details! I'm much more free on weekends so with notice I can make just about anything work! As an owner of a very large (German Shepard/Great Pyr mix) dog, I'm very familiar with the worries of a pet parent. I will treat your animal like my own and can handle even the largest of them (including pullers and reactive dogs).

About: Hey! My name is Josh, I am a college student at UW Stout. I am living in Blaine for the summer, and I'm here to help care for your furry friend during this hot summer. I'm a lifelong dog lover who has had dogs in my home for as long as I can remember. Growing up with 3 Labs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and giving dogs the attention and care they deserve. I love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I'm committed to making sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, getting belly rubs, or just having someone nearby, I'll make sure they get the attention they need. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'm happy to follow your pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions to keep them happy and stress-free. I look forward to meeting you and your 4 legged family member! I am currently working full-time but I will happily make the time to care for your pup! I am available anytime after 3:30pm Monday-Thursday, and anytime after 1pm on Fridays. Most weeks I have Monday or Tuesday off. I am usually not available on the weekends but never say never! At your residence for a walk or a drop-in, I will do my best to keep it the same or better than I found it. I will also try my best to keep your pet on their regular schedule for feeding, walking, and playtime. I also have a female Yellow Lab of my own so if your dog likes other dogs I am more than happy to bring her for your pup to have some social time!

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: 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.

About: I have five years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals for friends, family, and neighbors. I also grew up around animals, so pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I love making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my day because I’m home and available throughout the day. I enjoy giving pets the time, attention, and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. I make pets feel safe and loved by following their routine, giving them playtime, attention, and keeping their space clean. Whether in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re happy and comfortable.

About: Samantha and I have been dog owners all our lives but due to losing our last fur baby to Lymphoma at 4 years old we now find our house too empty with no 4-legged babies to care for so we would love the opportunity to love yours like they are our own. This is the first time we have lived in a house with no dogs so it feel too empty and quiet. We have a large fenced in yard and our property is adjacent to a park with miles of walking trails. I work from home so your fur baby will have constant companionship while vacationing at our house. I work from home and take daily walks in the park behind our house so attention and exercise is the foundation of our pet sitting philosophy. We have a fenced in yard and offer a husband and wife team to look after your 4-legged family member. We both have a lifetime of experience caring for and keeping pups safe and happy.

About: I am just starting as a pet sitter, but have had many pets growing up. We currently have a 4 year old cat, but we have had another cat, a shi tzu, and a Newfoundland while I was growing up. I love dogs and cats and want to earn a bit of extra money doing something I love. I work part time during the week, 10:45-3 Monday through Friday. I love walking or hiking and would walk dogs before or after my shift. I have lots of free time in the evening for play as well. I have one cat that I love dearly. She has been with dogs before and was comfortable with him. We have no dogs currently. In your home I would be able to walk or play with dogs leashed and off leash depending on the environment.

We couldn’t be happier with Ashley as our dog walker! She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. Our pup always comes back happy and tired after her walks, and Ashley goes above and beyond to give us updates and photos so we know how the day went. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - 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 July 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 July 2026, there are 5,316 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:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
