Michael, is fantastic. He was very communicative and even offered to grab packages while we were out of town. He sent photos from all visits and was diligent about cleaning the cat boys box and ensuring that they were fed separately due to dietary requirements. We will absolutely be working with him again A+. Thank you for an awesome experience!

Bryn did a wonderful job taking care of our pets! She paid lots of attention to our elderly cat and sent plenty of pictures and thorough updates. We came back to a happy and healthy boy. Can't recommend enough!

Jackie was awesome! One of our pups has a bit of stranger danger but did great with her and even snuggled with her! She followed my instructions to the letter and sent lots of pictures. This was my first experience and I was very nervous, but she stayed in great communication. Absolutely recommend Jackie!

About: I had my first dog when I was 7 years old, I was helping my dad to train my dog. I was responsible for his walks, food, etc. After my first dog experience, I’ve decided that animals make me so happy. I had 8-10 senior/young dogs that I took care of. I also had four cats that I was taking care of. Some birds, fish, turtles, horses… I genuinely love spending time with animals I am currently in college full time, we can always schedule a week ahead to make sure if I have enough time for your dog! Unfortunately I won’t be able to take your dog to my house for nights but I can take them during the day. I have fenced backyard that your animals can have their own space and have fun!

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. Our family animals (dog, cats, goats, Guinea pigs, birds, lizards, and a pony) fostered my lifelong love of animals. As a dog sitter, I have experience working with many different breeds and personalities. I have worked at a cruelty-free animal shelter, where I walked dogs, provided playtime, and helped take care of their living spaces. I have experience dog sitting in my home and understand the importance of helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When your dog is with me, they will receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am happy to take your dog on walks as often as needed and look forward to having a companion to play and cuddle with. On days I am not at school, I am at home, which allows me to give your dog my full attention throughout the day. I genuinely care about making every dog feel happy, comfortable, and secure, and I will treat yours as if they were my own! I am currently a doctoral student studying Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine and my schedule allows me to provide pet care throughout the week. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I am on campus for part of the day, and Thursday through Monday I study from home, which gives me the availability to provide your pets with plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. I live in a house with my parents. The upstairs level is my dedicated living space, which includes a bedroom, bathroom, and a living room area. Your pet will spend their time in this space with me! My parents have a cat that lives downstairs. They will not be living in the same space. We live on 4 acres, providing ample outdoor space for play, exploration, and exercise. We are located on rural road, which is great for long walks. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions you provide.

About: I’ve been walking and running my own dogs for years. Decided it would be a nice part time job for me. I have recently moved from south Mpls to White Bear Lake and would love to add a pup or two to my weekly walks/jogs. I'm semi retired and have plenty of time this summer to walk your pup(s). I like to jog too so if your dog is more energetic I can do that as well. I have two dogs of my own. I am no longer living in my home so miss walking/running my pups. I have a fenced in yard and both my dogs are micro chipped.

About: I’m confident and comfortable with both dogs and cats, including puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy animals, and pets that need extra patience or attention. I also have experience with potty training puppies, reinforcing routines and basic commands, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have worked professionally for years as a pet sitter for a wide variety of animals. This has given me experience and confidence in handling different temperaments, routines, and care requirements. I also grew up homeschooled on lots of land, so pets have been part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. Because I was home during the day, I spent a lot of time helping with feeding, training, socializing, exercising, and caring for animals of all ages and personalities. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, whether they’re my own pets or someone else’s. I truly view animals as part of the family, and I believe every pet deserves individualized care, attention, patience, and love based on their unique personality and needs. I would treat every single pet as if it was my very own fur baby. I recently got married to the love of my life and moved to Mahtomedi! My husband works full time, I, however, have a completely wide open schedule! I have always loved animals and would love to fill my week days with taking care and of other people’s fur babies. Monday- Friday I am available any time of day all day. I am also available on weekends depending on the weekend, so please feel free to reach out and ask if the weekend you’re hoping for aligns with my summer plans. If I am staying in the pets home, I am sure to keep their routine as similarly as their owners do, so that both the pet and the owner feel as safe and comfortable as they can. I would be more than happy to send pictures and videos of their pet to update them on how they are doing. If the pets were in my home, I would do my best to make that temporary transition as smooth and as comfortable for them as possible. Whether that be bringing their own toys or bed, or letting them snuggle in the bed with me if that’s what they are used to. With my schedule being solely dedicated to pet sitting, your pet will never lack attention in whatever ways they need! Whether that’s endless walks and tug of war, snuggles on the couch, or just having a safe hand around to make sure they are picked up after.

About: I grew up on a farm and have had animals around my whole life. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and my work with people on the spectrum has helped me understand different personalities, routines, and comfort needs. I love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available most weekdays when I’m not babysitting my nieces. I spend a lot of weekends in the cities right now, but I’m occasionally available on weekends as well. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, park trips, or watching pets for a few hours at a time. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, quiet time, or just keeping them company and making them feel loved while their owner is away.

Denise was amazing and I really appreciate everything she did for our cat during our vacation. In the beginning, I was a bit uncomfortable with the idea of using the app; but I am glad I decided to use it. Denise helped us be at ease and comfortable when we met her, she also helped me navigate the app and made things so much easier for me. She was very throughout and caring with our cat and made his stay alone less lonely. We are definitely calling Denise for future times away. We had the peace of mind we needed knowing that our cat was taken care of during our time away from home. Thank you very much Denise for helping us.

About: I have had almost every pet growing up that you can imagine. I have dog/cat sat for many families. We lost our last cat about a year ago and are recently retired(early retirement😀). I would love to watch your pet while you are away! I am retired and do vacation for about a month in Jan. During the summer my husband and I do a lot of fishing but I would definitely go around your pets schedule! Your pet will be treated as a family member at my home! Beds, couches and other furniture will NOT be off limits unless you specify otherwise. I do have a large yard unfortunately not fenced in but a park across the street for walking and exercising!

About: I grew up in a household that loved fostering dogs so I have been surrounded by pets my whole life. I have a ton of experience with a large array of different breeds, sizes and ages of dogs. I’ve cared for many puppies (three at a time once!) and many senior dogs. I love all pets, including cats! I feel comfortable around all pets and am willing to learn how to best care for your animals and give them everything they need to thrive! When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your pets I will dedicate my time and full attention to loving them! I am currently home full time for the summer from college and would love to fill my time playing and taking care of all your beloved pets! I am available for drop ins or house sitting when needed! I am very flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your pets for walks, dog parks, or do anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable and happy! I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by following all care instructions, and maintaining their routine. I respect your space, and keep things tidy. I create a calm environment with plenty of affection, attention, and care tailored to your pet’s needs.

About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional experience and a lifetime of hands-on pet care. I spent over three years working in a dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also worked as a pet store manager, which gave me valuable experience with animal behavior, care, and overall pet wellness. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior needing extra attention, I provide patient, personalized care tailored to them. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home most days, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I only go into the office one day per week, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most pets’ routines and needs. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quality one-on-one attention into my day. Whether your pet prefers an active day or a quiet companion nearby, I can provide a comfortable and consistent environment while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any other specific care requests. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and mental stimulation based on their individual needs and personality. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, so I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Avery was super helpful in looking after our old german shorthair pointer. She was knowledgeable and understanding when we described our dog’s quirks and anxiety. She managed her beautifully and we didn’t have to worry a but while we were away. We’ll definitely re-book Avery again in the future.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Hugo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 5,151 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Hugo. 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 Hugo 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 Hugo 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 Hugo 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 Hugo. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
