Highly recommend Kim for your pet sitting needs. She took wonderful care of my cats while I was on vacation. She cleaned out the wet food dishes to ensure they didn't leave an odor, followed all of my instructions, and also went above and beyond to clean up after one of my cats who got an upset tummy while I was away. I will definitely be rebooking with Kim for my next pet setting needs. Thanks so much, Kim!!!!

Hillary did a great job with our cat who needed antibiotics twice daily. We appreciated the pictures and updates she gave us each visit. We would happily book with her again and recommend her to our friends! Thanks so much, Hillary!

Gloriahna has been exceptional for my pup! I needed someone to let my puppy out and spend some time with her during my work day, and Gloriahna has been fantastic. She is reliable, has great communication skills, and always provides timely updates. 5/5 stars!

About: My family has a large yard, we enjoys all dog breeds. Our our dog run, play snuggle with the pups while families need away time. Rest assured while you are away from your furry family member, all dogs will be wearing a GPS tracking device. If you prefer your dog stay on leash, that is fine, just let us know when booking. I am a work at home mom that enjoys walks outside with our d and in our large yard, looking to help out other families. Our pets are on a routine twice a day eating, snacks as needed and walks every morning and afternoon. Also outside playing together in our 7 acres. We are not fenced in but offer many walks if needed. Dogs will wear a GPS Tracking device while we care for them.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I’ll make sure your dog gets lots of attention, walks, and care while you’re away. I’m a recent PA school graduate who is looking to walk dogs this summer before starting my new job! My schedule is very flexible throughout the week. I try to keep pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. In your home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, food, water, and any other care they need while keeping your space clean and respected.

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and truly love caring for animals of all personalities and needs. I currently have two hound mixes and live a very active, pet-focused lifestyle. I have hands-on experience with: • Dogs with anxiety and behavioral needs (including training support) • Senior and special-needs dogs, including hip dysplasia • Administering medications multiple times a day I understand that every pet is different, and I’m very patient, attentive, and focused on making them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs, and I can also accommodate crating if needed (I have large crates available). Availability: I work full-time during the day, but I’m typically available after 6 PM on workdays. I also have rotating weekdays and weekends off, which allows for more flexible care—just message me and I’m happy to coordinate! I treat every pet like they’re my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always have peace of mind. I currently work full time day shift. I will generally be available after 6PM but I have random weekdays and wekends off to care for your pets! I have a fenced in yard, and two dog friendly dogs. I have experience with high anxiety and handicap dogs that need medication several times a day. I have two large crates as my dogs are over 50 pounds if that is something that is needed.

About: Hi! I’m Carly! I’m currently in my last semester of my (second-career) nursing program and spending my summer doing something I genuinely love: spending time with dogs! After losing my sweet 13-year-old dog, I’ve really missed having dogs in my daily life. Rover feels like the perfect way to combine my love for animals, staying active, and helping busy pet parents feel confident their dogs are cared for. I’m dependable, responsible, attentive, and very focused on safety and wellbeing. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I treat every dog with patience, affection, and respect for their unique personality and needs. I’m currently offering dog walks and drop-in visits, and I’d love to help give your dog exercise, companionship, attention, and lots of love while you’re away! I’m fairly flexible this summer since I’m currently in my last semester of nursing school and only working part time as a phlebotomist. I’m available most days and at a variety of times throughout the day for walks or drop-in visits. If your dog does best with a consistent routine or set day each week, I’m happy to accommodate that as well! Weekends can be a little more limited, but feel free to reach out and check my availability. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is safety, trust, and a calm environment for your dog. I respect your space and privacy and follow all instructions closely, including routines and feeding schedules. I make sure doors are securely locked, leashes are used properly, and your home is kept safe and as I found it. I focus on keeping your pet comfortable and low-stress while you’re away, paying attention to their needs and giving them plenty of care and reassurance. Above all, I treat your home and pet with respect and responsibility, just as I would expect for my own.

About: I love animals of all ages. I have no specific preference on age at all. I have my own anxious pup who has taught me a lot; so the anxious pups have a special place in my heart! I work full time as a PCA so I am available in the afternoons/evening typically around 5pm and anytime during the weekends (Saturdays & Sundays). I am able to help out with dog specific training; i.e “sit” “stay” “come”, etc. With the owners ways and regulations. I will also take walks, play fetch or even a game of tug-a-war! Special diets and eating habits do not bother me at all!

About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was a kid. I’ve always been a huge animal lover and my parents have always trusted me to be a caretaker for them! I am currently in online school but it is very flexible so no worries there! I also am going to be working part time soon! In my home we always make sure our pets have collars that aren’t too loose and aren’t too tight! We also have a fenced in backyard!

About: Keep your pets out of the cold kennel and remaining in the comfort of their own home! I’ve been caring for other people’s animals since I was nine years old and over time that’s grown into a deep understanding of the bond between pets and their families. I don’t just watch pets, but step in as a calm, reliable presence so they can maintain their routine and sense of security while you’re away. I’m especially attentive to behavior and communication. Whether it’s managing doorbell triggers, easing separation anxiety, or reinforcing good habits, I work with your pet as an individual. My goal is always a smoother, more balanced experience for both you and your animal. I also have experience with pets who require a higher level of care, including those prone to seizures, pets with mobility challenges, and animals with heightened anxiety around storms or fireworks such as my own Australian Shepard. In those moments I prioritize patience and creating a comforting environment. When you book with me, you’re not just getting coverage, you’re getting consistency, daily communication, and peace of mind. I provide thoughtful updates and make sure you always know your pet is safe and cared for. I’ve been on Rover since 2018 and have built long term relationships with clients who trust me not just me with their pets, but as a friend. That level of bonding is something I aim to earn with every new client. My rates reflect the level of care, attention, and reliability I provide while keeping your pet out of the kennel and inside their own spaces. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with the same attentiveness and respect you do, I’d be happy to connect and learn more about your needs. I take on pet appointments around providing smart home in house support and installation and do my best to accommodate your pet's needs and schedule. At your residence I try to keep your pets on their normal schedule when it comes to diet, exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime. My "rental dogs" tend to get more walks with me than they do with their owners as I view it as my own gym time that the dogs also love. During overnight stays I am very respectful of client's homes and have been known to vacuum and do the guest room laundry prior to their return from vacation. I have a Toy Australian Sheppard named Vheissu (pronounced V-Sue) who lives with me half of the time, so if your dog comes over for daycare they may have a playmate.

About: My passion is to work with animals, i’ve been a dog walker, pet care technician, and i am currently a dog groomer. I think my best skill is being patient and calm with scared or reactive dogs and making them feel comfortable and happy. I’m currently working part time as a dog groomer and pet care technician. I would love to spend my weekends caring for your fur babies and bringing them for walks I have 5 indoor cats and 3 bunnies at home. I love all kinds of pets and i am not easily scared by reactive dogs. I will take as much time as needed for your pet to feel safe and comfortable with me.

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.

Gloriahna recently did drop in visits for our cat and our chickens for 10 days and she did an excellent job. You can tell she really cares about providing your pets all the care they need and keeping their routines in place. She made sure she had all the information she needed before the visits started and she stayed in daily contact with us while we were gone, which I really appreciated. Will definitely be using her services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of June 2026, there are 5,354 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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.

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
  • 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
