“Julie really helped us when we needed a last minute drop in for our dog. She made sure he was able to use the restroom and played with him so he wouldn't be bored. 🥰”
“Allene was amazing to work with! My normally-skittish kitty just loved her and she went the extra mile to hunt for my younger cat, who decided to find new hiding spots that I didn’t even know about! I will definitely be booking Allene again in the future!”
“Monika does a wonderful job looking after our senior kitty who needs extra care due to diabetes. She really makes a connection and we can tell that our cat absolutely adores her. We know he's in good hands with her each time we need to be away!”
About: I had a few dogs growing up (a cairn terrior and a yellow lab) and have been dog sitting for the last 6 years off and on from anywhere from a few hours up to 3 months. I work from home Mondays and Thursdays and have a typical 8-430 schedule. My significant other, Jake, has a flexible schedule as well for drop off/pick up times. While working from home I am available to take doggos on walks/runs and play! For days that I am in the office, I am able to run home on lunch for potty breaks if the doggo needs! I have a house with a large yard. While it is not fenced in, there is plenty of room to run and play on our 30 ft cable. I have a 12 year old son who loves to play with and love on doggies. I live near a lake and a park with a swimming beach if your doggo likes swimming! (I am more than happy to gives baths as well) I will also take lots of photos and have open communication so that owners can know their furbabies are having fun and in good hands!
“Meredith did a great job with our senior dogs. One of our dogs requires twice daily injections. She was very thorough and took the time to understand the best method for delivering the medication.”
“This was our first experience with Jeffery. He did an awesome job of taking care of our cat, Gilmore. I know our cat really liked Jeffery as well based on the great pictures he sent of him. I would highly recommend him!”
“Stephanie was wonderful! I felt very comfortable with her dropping in to care for my cat. I appreciate her detailed updates and photos from her visits. Stephanie will love your pets like their her own 😊”
About: I offer a calm, reliable presence for pets of all life stages. Whether your dog needs energetic playtime, specialized puppy guidance, or dedicated senior monitoring, I adapt my care to keep them completely comfortable. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding 3 days in advance, all week anytime, anyday including weekends. "I specialize in offering low-stress, highly attentive care within the comfortable surroundings of your pet's own home. keep dogs securely attached to their leashes, and scan the area to avoid unexpected wildlife or loose neighborhood animals. For drop-in visits, I dedicate my full attention to refreshing water dishes, scooping litter boxes, and giving your pet plenty of engaging playtime or cuddles. For overnight stays, I ensure your pets get to sleep in their favorite spots and maintain their exact morning habits. I will also gladly bring in your mail and rotate lights to keep your home looking safely lived-in.
“Celia has done an amazing job watching my cat Thelma when I am out of town. She always leaves prompt updates, responds quickly to any notes or questions and takes the best pictures of Thelma which are always a treat to see when I am away.”
About: Caring for pets has been a part of my life for a long time, through both pets of our own and foster pets! We’ve been fostering for the past decade and have cared for over 30 dogs and cats. I have experience with dogs with all kinds of personalities, including shy, anxious, and reactive. My favorite thing about animals is they all have their own personalities, and I love learning about who they are! My approach is to meet pets where they’re at and let them set the pace for our interactions, especially those who need a little extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. Senior dogs have an especially big place in my heart, as we have two of our own, and I’m very comfortable with the extra patience and care older pups sometimes need. I’ve also fostered and spent time with dogs of many breeds, sizes, and personalities, including bully breeds which are always welcome! I work a hybrid schedule, and will spend most of my day with your pet. When I leave, it will generally be no longer than about 4 hours at a time, whether for work or to see my own pets and family. If I expect I’ll need to be gone longer than this at any point during the stay, I’ll let you know before booking! I will treat your home as a guest in it; I’m tidy and will clean up after me and your pets! What is helpful for me to know is what your pet’s typical day looks like, if they have any favorite or important parts to their routine, and ways they like to get stimulation (walk, play, puzzles). Where do they sleep? As much information as you can tell me about your pet is better so I can keep things as normal for them as possible!
About: Hi! I’m Ashley — a dependable, calm dog walker focused on weekday potty breaks and routine walks. I’m especially great with anxious, sensitive, or routine-loving dogs. I move at your dog’s pace, prioritize safety, and keep visits predictable and low-stress. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk, I treat every visit like it matters — because it does. I’m punctual, communicative, and detail-oriented. You’ll always get a clear update after each visit so you know your dog is safe, calm, and cared for. I’m a great fit if you’re looking for: • Reliable weekday care • Consistent potty breaks or walks • Someone patient and gentle • A walker you can trust long-term I keep my schedule intentionally small so I can provide consistent, quality care. Weekly and recurring bookings welcome! Can talk about trialing running with your dog if you’d be open to that🙂 Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐾 I’m finishing up college online so I have pretty much open availability until I go back to school in-person for my master’s degree in social work. I care for your pets in-home based on the directions that you give me to take care of your pets. I’ll leave the house as I found it.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have spent years caring for dogs both personally and professionally. I have my own dog and am very comfortable handling all the day to day responsibilities that come with pet care, from walks and playtime to feeding, medications, and overnight stays. Over the years I’ve also cared for many other pets through walks, drop in visits, and house sitting. I currently have multiple long term clients that I’ve worked with for over two years, and I take a lot of pride in being someone both pets and their owners can trust and rely on. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, extra playtime, or just wants a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I work part time and have a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits into my day pretty naturally. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop ins, and overnight care, and I don’t mind adjusting my schedule to make sure pets get the attention and consistency they need. I’m very attentive and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so they get a lot of love and attention while they’re in my care. I like to make sure we can get out all their energy during the day to help relieve any anxiety they have without their family and feel safe with me! I know every pet and owner has different preferences, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever works best for you. Just let me know your pet’s routine and your expectations, and I’ll do my best to care for them the way you would.
“I highly recommend Paige. Upon our return our home smelt normal and Sasha’s litter was clean. Paige was able to administer meds to her which was no easy feat. We will keep booking her if she is available.”

Bethany once again was absolutely amazing! I have such peace of mind knowing she will be looking after our babies. She is attentive, responsive, and always willing to help with extra things like watering plants, collecting mail, and just all the little things I wouldn’t even think to ask about. She truly goes above and beyond, and she will always be my go-to!
Gavin took great care of our dog, Luna, and my brother’s dog, Ike, over the holiday weekend. He was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups and would gladly book with Gavin again. Highly recommend! 🐾

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mahtomedi is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
