““Highly recommend! My dog is handicapped and cannot walk, so finding someone I could truly trust was very important. She took exceptional care of my dog and went above and beyond to make sure all of her special needs were met. She was patient, compassionate, attentive, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. It’s not easy caring for a special-needs dog, but she handled everything wonderfully. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.””

“Heather did absolutely amazing with my pups! I am always nervous about having new people around my pups, but Heather connected with them really well and it was obvious she cared for them. Highly recommend!”


“Kyle was always prompt for visits to give my cat his medications. He provided great updates regarding how administration went, was patient with my cat, and was respectful to my house! Cannot recommend him enough!”

“Emily was great with our cat Mila and even came to meet her before we left on our vacation. She followed all instructions, communicated well with us, and was very dependable. We were comforted in knowing she would come on time to make sure Mila got her foods and meds, a few treats and also some ear and head scratches.”

“Let my boy Odie out and fed him when I had some early and long mornings at work! Great communication and able to accommodate an early drop in time. Will definitely book with her again!”


About: Since 2020, I've been providing dependable dog walking and in-home pet care for families in the Inver Grove Heights, West St. Paul, and South St. Paul areas. As a proud British Lab owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets the way you would. In addition to dog walks, I provide drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. Whether it's feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, administering simple care routines, playtime, litter box or cage maintenance, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. My Yard: 5 ft privacy fence entirely enclosing the yard and deck. My Pet: 65lb spayed female British lab who is passive and needs a meet & Greet before we accept Boarding Crating? I follow your routine so if you want them crated, I will do that (some parents teach dogs to be crated at night). I would only ever use it other than your specific direction if I were to leave the house to store, etc. Dog won't be alone long - I am home during days. My family: 2 adults, 1 teen, 1 kid in house. Scope us out! Come visit with your pup for a meet & greet! Boarding: Occasionally I do accept dogs to board in our home. The dog needs to meet & Greet our dog first (she is calm, passive spayed). I only accept dogs to boardthat are up to date on vaccinations. We have kids and stuff (socks, toys) lays out...if your dog will ingest socks or "eat" things laying out, this isn't a good Boarding match. I believe every pet has a unique personality and deserves individualized care, patience, and affection. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pets are safe, loved, and receiving the attention they deserve. I am flexible during weekdays, mostly for check ins, potty breaks and feeding. In evening and weekends I am open for walks, check ins and feedings. I follow your Pet's routine as you detail it! Walks I require a leash. I send you updates and photos from walks or check ins. My House & Yard: Occasionally, we accept dogs for boarding. That is only if we do a Meet & Greet first, and determine our dog (9 yr old, calm and passive British lab, spayed) is a match. We would only boarding a dog in our home that is up to date on vaccinations
“Jennifer had great communication and was always sure to send photos of the kitties during her visits. She was even able to get my shy kitties to come out for treats 🥰”

“Awesome job. Katherine is a great communicator and went way above and beyond with her service. Thank you so much for allowing us to focus on our vacation worry free.”

“You did an amazing job! We loved your updates and felt very secure knowing you were around to take care of Poppy. We thought it was really cute how you’d shape her food for her. Thank you so much!”

“Billy was an exceptional sitter from start to finish! He was incredibly responsible and communicative throughout the entire process, which made me feel completely at ease. I really appreciated how respectful he was of my time when he came to meet my dog for the first time—he was punctual, professional, and clearly experienced with animals. My dog took to him right away, and it was obvious Billy has a natural connection with pets. He kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Billy to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”


“Perla did a great job looking after our 2 cats while we were away on vacation for 11 days. She took time to send us photos every day and took great care of keeping up on their food/water/litterbox. Our cats are normally very shy and took to her immediately, I will 100% use her services in the future 😊”

“First time Rover user and Jessica was absolutely fantastic with my two girls. I appreciate how accommodating and understanding she was. I hope to use her again!!”


About: I’ve had pets since I was young and have always been responsible for their daily care. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and happy. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet like part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full time, but I make sure to plan my schedule so pets receive consistent care, including walks, feeding, and quality time before and after work. I’m reliable about keeping pets on their normal routine and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away.

About: I have a bachelors degree in animal conservation and marine biology. I also grew up with both cats and dogs, as well as rodents, fish, and lizards. I've been pet sitting for 7 years and worked at a doggy daycare. I love all animals big and small and am comfortable with big dogs and all manner of temperaments in cats. I'm currently available for boarding 7 days a week. I'm never away from my apartment for long and will dedicate all of my time to caring for your pet! I live in a safe apartment and area that's pet friendly! I don't have any cats/dogs, just a friendly leopard gecko! I also don't leave food laying around and pets are allowed on my furniture!
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our dog Frankie. She did a great job communicating with us when she did her drop-in visits. I will definitely recommend Rachel to my friends.”

About: Hello! I live in a townhome with a yard in Inver Grove :). Near are multiple parks, trails, etc. that I love to bring pups around! I’m originally from a small town near St. Cloud, Minnesota, and I absolutely love dogs and animals. I grew up with a Shih Zhu and Yellow Lab. I currently have 2 mini dachshunds who are my whole world, and love to help out other dog parents when I can. I’m currently a part time student and work a few nights a week, so doing doggy day care or dog walks are perfect additions to my schedule :) My pups are always looking for a new friend to have a play date with as well! I would consider my schedule flexible ! I am currently working for about 4 hours, 2 days a week, and my classes are Mondays and Tuesdays every-other week. I also love to be outside and exercise, so the dogs I watch never lack getting out and about. I have a small yard (unfenced) for pups to use the bathroom and play. My pups love to play and wrestle other dogs, they do bark at them when they get excited though. I have lots of dog toys and a dog bed for nap time if they need it :)

About: I've been a reliable and eager sitter for many people's pets since I was 10 years old. I can check in on your pet and your house, take them for walks and provide other enrichment activities such fetch, playing with toys and lots of petting and belly rubs. I love all animals and I love being outside so I would do great with active dogs! I'm a teacher but I am available before work and after the school day to care for your pet. My weekends are very flexible. I am already an active person so walking your pets would easily fit into my daily schedule. I have a large fenced in backyard. I am attentive and responsible. I will treat your pet like they family member they are to you!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Inver Grove Heights
So grateful for you Vicki! We were out of town for a few days and didn’t know that we wouldn’t have cell service where we were staying. Knowing that Vicki was taking care of our 3 cats gave us such peace of mind—we didn’t worry for one second knowing that she was keeping a caring eye on them.

Emily was great with our cat Mila and even came to meet her before we left on our vacation. She followed all instructions, communicated well with us, and was very dependable. We were comforted in knowing she would come on time to make sure Mila got her foods and meds, a few treats and also some ear and head scratches.

Ingrid completed 3 drop in visits for my old kitty cat named Phantom. She sent me detailed updates and photos everyday. Phantom has an issue with going potty outside the box and Ingrid replaced the per pads, cleaned up a kitty mess in the kitchen and I came home to a clean litter box. I would highly recommend Ingrid!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Inver Grove Heights on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,758 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Inver Grove Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
