“Jenna is amazing! She was great with our fur baby. I loved getting all the pics everyday during their visits. Seeing him play in the videos put me at ease. Jenna is a great communicator and I hope she is available the next time we need to leave.”
About: I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. (Dogs, cats, parakeets, etc) For the past several years I've been caring for dogs in my spare time and remembered how much I love it. Because of some family responsibilities I cannot own another pet at the moment, but taking care of them is the next best thing. I'm currently taking a mid-life career break after living in Europe for several years. I'm very lucky that I have a flexible schedule to care for dogs. I have an unfenced yard in a private and quiet neighborhood in Wayzata. I've also done in-home pet sitting in the area and am perfectly comfortable doing that as well.
“Carrie was great. She changed out the battery on the garage door opener when it didn't work on her second visit. And she was clearly worried when she couldn't find our super old cat during a couple of her visits. He was fin. We'll be booking her next time we travel.”
“Jamie was awesome! Dependable: she came 2x per day on time. She sent a picture of our cat for each visit. Our cat seemed to grow in his attachment to her over time. We ended up with a happy and well adjusted kitty. Consequently our return was smooth and we were able to engage with our cat as if we had never left him. We will definitely call her again whenever we travel.”
“Leah was amazing with my cat, Lizzie! She sent daily updates with photos, and I came home to a very happy, loudly purring kitty. When Lizzie got sick unexpectedly, Leah graciously cleaned everything up and kept me informed right away—which was such a relief while I was away for the week. I can’t recommend Leah enough!”
About: Hi! My name is Kendall, and I am a dependable animal lover who understands that pets are family.

My services include: * Dog walking * Drop-in visits * Pet sitting * Feeding and fresh water * Playtime and enrichment * Basic medication administration (if needed) * Frequent photo and text updates Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I am organized, reliable, and intentional about managing my time. While I do work a full-time job, I carefully schedule pet care responsibilities around my work hours to ensure that every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Before and after work, I am available for walks, feedings, drop-in visits, and quality one-on-one time with pets. On my days off and weekends, I have additional flexibility to accommodate longer visits, pet sitting needs, and extra playtime. At this time, I am not able to provide boarding services in my home. However, I am happy to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your pet’s familiar environment, where they can remain comfortable and maintain their normal routine.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dog and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dog. My dog, Elliot, loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have my own small pup who is energetic and loves to play, but isn’t pushy. I work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dog).
“My cat was so calm when I came back from my trip. That tells me in her two 1-hour visits Alex gave him the TLC and attention he needed while I was away. She sent pictures and updates to me while she visited which was very nice. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a patient and attentive sitter, and will do my absolute best to meet all of your pets' needs while they are in my care. I will treat your furry friends as well as I would treat my own. I love to go on walks and play, and of course I love to snuggle as well! I am currently working part time, and will have plenty of time to feed, walk, and care for your pets! I hope to make them feel as at home as they usually do. I will have fluctuating flexibility, as I am also a part time Certified Nursing Assistant. I will keep my undivided attention on your pets if/when I take the outside. I will make sure to keep a harness/leash on at all times while outside, unless in a fenced in area like the backyard or a dog park. I will keep them reined in close to me while on walks to avoid ay possible altercations with other dogs. I will keep unsafe foods (grapes, chocolate, garlic, etc.) away from the pets.
“From the minute I met Sydney I knew she was going to be a trust worthy gal to take care of my granny cat. Sydney has been so kind,punctual , sent pictures, videos and updates every visit, even spend some extra off the clock time to pet my cat finish her nap on Sydney’s lap. I would recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a a sitter for their pet .”

About: Hello, Pet Parents. My name is Cory, and I'm going to tell you a bit about myself! I've always been involved with animals in my life and have had many pets! I've had 3 dogs, mice, hamsters, and even a frog! Not only have I had pets, but I've had past experiences with pets and pet owners, and here are some as follows! ————————————————————— Experience: Worked for an adoption center where I took care of dogs and cats. Dog walking Pet sitting Many animal based classes Currently working at a board and train facility Training/Fostering a soon to be police dog that will be stationed at a middle school and helping with tracking cases ————————————————————— If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your fuzzy little friends whenever needed! I'll always talk to you about openings in my schedule that fit with yours! I have a couple pets, a Sheprador which is a German Shepherd and Labrador mix named George, and a hamster named Baba. I feed my dog George twice a day making sure to let him outside right after, I regularly brush him because he just doesn't stop shedding, I wash him every other month so he doesn't get stinky, give him all of his medication for his allergies, and just giving him constant attention such as walks! Baba gets fed once a day with a healthy balance of veggies, fruits, seeds, and original food. I clean his cage every 1 to 2 weeks depending how it looks and/or if it stinks, and finally I regularly take him out of his cage to pet him and let him run around in his ball! George and Baba get along haha! Plus a new member being Chunk a little lab puppy!
About: I love all kinds of dogs! My childhood wish finally came true when I was in high school and my parents decided to get a family dog when I was the only kid left in the house so a lot of responsibility fell on me. My family dog, Willie, is now 5 and I have been the primary care giver while pursing my academics. I understand the different needs for various types/ages of dogs such as length of walk, amount of food/treats, type of toys, attachment, etc. I'm a recent college graduate and just moved back to the Plymouth area where I'm originally from. My full time job is hybrid so I have the flexibility to work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I'm available after work hours on weekdays (roughly 5pm give or take) and also have availability anytime on the weekends. I also have a car so it is easy for me to drive around the Plymouth area. I care for pets in my own home by making sure the house is "dog proof" and ensuring there aren't any objects out that could harm the animal. I also care for pets in clients homes by respecting their space and making sure the home is neat after caring for their pet.
About: I treat every pet like my own and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with them. I’m reliable and attentive to routines, and my favorite part of pet sitting is the cuddles! Whether that’s couch time, belly rubs, keeping them company, or going on walks, I’m always happy to give pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available for overnights, before and after school, and on weekends. I’m happy to do check-ins, walks, feedings, and spend quality time with pets to make sure they’re comfortable, exercised, and well cared for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets in both my home and a client’s home. I carefully follow all routines, feeding instructions, and any special care needs. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and comfortable in their environment, and I keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for!
“Elizabeth is great! She’s so friendly and was excellent with our 5 month old puppy. She’s prompt, respectful, and very dedicated to what she does. Highly recommend her for your next Rover.”
“Samantha has been taking care of this little fur family in various forms for a couple years now. I always feel confident that she is making sure they are getting what is needed and all the snuggles. Thank you!”
About: I recently lost my beagle of almost 15 years and I’m looking for some furry play time. I have had a dog my whole life and appreciate all types. My beagle had several health ailments throughout his life so I am comfortable with medications and special needs. I was so grateful for the dog sitters I had, I am looking to provide the same comfort and security to you and your dog while you’re away. I currently work full time throughout the week, 8-4pm but my routine and schedule are very flexible if I need to come home during the day. My home has a fenced yard for your dog to get plenty of exercise. I don’t have any other pets in the house on a regular basis.
“Kolleen was so helpful to do drop-ins for a few days while we were away and our primary dog watcher was at work during the day. As a beagle owner she understood our crazy beagles very well and I could tell they were excited to see her each day from the photos she sent! She made sure to capture their cutest angles too! I would absolutely trust her again with our dogs for boarding or a drop in visit!”
“Sara was great with our cats and was on time for all meet and greets and visits. She communicated with us when things came up, and even did an emergency extra visit (we did pay her!!) when our cats knocked over their automatic feeder.”

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 Long 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.
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 Long Lake 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 .

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 Long Lake with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

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.
