“Bonnie was great with our two black cats! She could even tell them apart! Made sure they ate, had some play time, and some cuddles during her drop ins. Lots of pics and notes about each visit. Highly recommend!”
“Cassondra has been doing an amazing job with my 10-week old Corgi! Getting a new job and a new puppy at the same time was not on my bingo card and I found myself unsure how to manage all this. Enter Cassondra who has been a lifesaver. She visits twice a day to let Juniper outside and plays with her. She’s helped to clean up a couple accidents… because, that’s what happens with puppies. I don’t know what I would do without her. I appreciate her communication and pictures she sends too!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and genuinely love caring for them like they’re part of the family. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages and temperaments. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions and medications. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins to give you peace of mind. I work a flexible hybrid schedule - 3 days in office, 2 days at home. When we leave our dog home alone to roam the house Monday - Friday, she is alone 8:00 to 12:00 and 1:00 to 5:00 with a mid-day lunch and potty break. We have a 2-year-old 75 lb Pyredoodle who LOVES to play and wrestle, so your dog will have a built-in buddy. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe playtime and exercise. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and beds. Our home is smoke-free and kid-free.
“Highly recommend Kallyn to watch your pets! She was great at communication, has a lot of experience taking care of animals, and genuinely cares about their well-being. I know my senior cat was in excellent hands!! I will definitely ask kallyn to take of my pets in the future.”
About: I have had a wide range of animals including rodents, reptiles, aquatics, and a dog. I have watched my friend’s dogs and cats, as well as rodents. Many of these animals have been seniors, so I have experience with medications and helping with their specific needs! If you have an animal outside of dogs and cats that you need a sitter for, please reach out! I am a full time veterinary technician student, but I have lots of free time! My classes range from 4-8 hours, but I am willing to stay with your beloved pets for the time I am not in school! I loved to go sit outside with my dog when he would go out, and that would be the same with your pets! Making sure that animals are safe is always my number one priority! I do require a meet and greet of both you and your pets! I also ask to know the rules that your pets should follow and if there’s specific needs that I need to meet! If you live in Hastings, Cottage Grove, Apple Valley, Inver Grove Heights, Woodbury, Farmington, Lakeville, Lake Elmo, Afton or Stillwater and are looking for a sitter feel free to message me! Sadly, I am not currently servicing the twin cities.

About: I recently retired early, sold my small business, and am excited to spend more time doing something that has always been a big part of my life - caring for and loving animals. I have been a pet mom and caregiver for many years, looking after furry friends of every age, personality, and quirk. I have 2 kitties, one who is an outgoing crazy character and the other sweet and shy. We sadly lost our Goldendoodle recently and I'd love to share cuddles and walks with your dog(s). I am reliable, patient and calm - and treat every pet with the same affection and care I give my own. I recently retired so my schedule is very flexible for daily drop-ins, overnight stays, walks, playtime, and cuddles. Have a last-minute trip or unexpected work meeting? I have the time and treats! When caring for your pets, I put their safety and comfort first. With many years of experience caring for pets, I know that each is unique, with different personalities and comfort level with new people. I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is for everything to feel just as safe, calm, and familiar as when you are there. I follow your routines closely, keep your home tidy, and pay attention to all of the little things that help your pet feel secure. What sets me apart is that during my career, I traveled quite a bit and hired pet sitters to stay with my kitties and dog. I know, from a client's perspective, what was important to me and my fur babies. I will send you daily updates and photos (unless that's not your preference), so you and your pets can feel completely comfortable and stress-free.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hastings
Nathalia took excellent care of my 17-year old cat who is fragile & needs lots of care, including medications. He’s also shy & afraid of strangers. Nathalia got him to come out of hiding & accept her attention which was amazing! She kept daily contact with picture & videos, so comforting! I would highly recommend Nathalia to anyone & know that she has expertise in caring for cats, dogs & other pets as well.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
