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 dogs. We have a large yard (7 acres unfenced). Enjoy playtime both outside and inside with toys, balls, couch/pet time. 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 (tractive) while we care for them.
“Oliver was super excited for his walk/visit with Kim. He had met her only once before for meet and greet but was totally at ease with her and was rather wiggly and very eager to visit. He has had some previous issues with separation anxiety and was so happy he forgot to be anxious! Lol! Would for sure recommend!!!!”
“Kayti was the first person through Rover that I’ve hired to come and spend time with my cats while I was out of town. She took the time to come meet them and me in advance, which made me feel more comfortable with the experience. While I was gone, she was engaged with them - playing with toys, taking them for walks, and bringing her daughter with to play with them as well. She sent photos and videos which gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Kayti for anyone looking for someone to watch their cats!”
“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!”
“Tamany is trustworthy, kind, and very easy to work with. Her drop-in visits have been incredibly valuable to our pups and our peace of mind. We would recommend her to future clients!”
“Hillary did agreat job with our two cats! She even brought her daughter to play with our very large kitten, Maine Coon. I really appreciated that and she vacuumed up kitty litter! Thank you Hillary! Definitely recommend her!”
About: I have dog sat many times. I have gone as short as 1 day to a full week. I love all animals and would love to help out! I’m currently at home from college this summer. I have a part time job. I am very flexible and I can pretty much do any times. I will take very good care of you’re home as well as you’re pet. I can put your dog In a crate if needed. I will always be there for them
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I care for every dog as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and at home. I have experience with a large, active German Shepherd and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. While I do have a resident dog, every pet's comfort and safety comes first. My home allows dogs to be separated when needed, and I'm happy to provide individual walks, feeding routines, and personalized attention so every dog has a positive experience. What sets me apart is my communication and attention to detail. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet's stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home where your pet is treated like family. I have a hybrid work schedule, which means I work from home several days each week and have flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care and prioritize keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether it's morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening cuddles, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience so your pet feels right at home. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get their energy out. I also have a friendly resident German Shepherd who enjoys other dogs, so guest dogs should be comfortable around larger breeds. That said, your pet's safety and comfort always come first. My home is set up so dogs can be separated if needed, and I always supervise introductions and interactions. I'm happy to provide individual walks, feed according to your dog's normal schedule, administer oral medications if needed, and accommodate crate routines if that's what your dog is used to. I will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. We have a toddler in our home (who has grown up with our dog and is respectful), so guest dogs should be comfortable around young children. Safety is my top priority, and I carefully supervise all interactions between pets and family members.
“Cassandra is so amazing to work with!! She was very patient with my anxious pup. He warmed up to her more than I thought he would because of her patience and care! Will definitely book Cassandra again. Thank you!!!”
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: 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: I’ve been around animals since I was about 8 years old and have always loved caring for them. My friends and grandparents often trust me to watch, feed, and walk their pets when they’re away or busy. I’m patient, responsible, and make sure every pet feels safe and cared for, just like they’re my own. I currently work part-time. On weekdays, I work from 7:00–9:00 AM and 2:45–5:30 PM, which allows me time in between shifts and after 5:30 PM to care for and spend time with your pets! On weekends, I’m generally available, except Sunday mornings until 1:00 PM. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, medication, and routines. I give plenty of attention, playtime, and love while keeping them comfortable and safe.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 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 September 2026, there are 5,533 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
- 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.
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.
