About: I have either lived or worked with animals from as young as I can remember. Growing up we had an abundance of different animals such as cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and more. Since being out on my own I have raised two puppies and a kitten and adopted a cat as well. I trained both puppies myself and am also familiar with caring for senior animals as well as giving medications and caring for animals that may have health issues or sensitivities. I volunteered at cat shelters all throughout college and worked in pet stores for multiple years so I come equipped with lot's of knowledge on feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning up after, and caring for pets. I have watched over many friends and family’s pets over the years and I treat all animals with the same love, respect, and care that I give to my own. I have plenty of time and flexibility to help care and play with your pets throughout the week! I have the most availability in the mornings through the afternoons but can be flexible for evenings if needed! Both weekdays and weekends work for me. I am comfortable following your preference on how you like to keep your pet safe in your home. If I see anything concerning I will always communicate this but my main goal is keeping your pet safe and healthy in the ways that you feel most comfortable with.I know every animal may be treated differently and my top priority is to care for them while also following their normal routine as much as possible.

About: I’m an experienced pet owner with a large Bernese Mountain Dog/German Shepherd mix along with two cats. I am comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I understand that each dog and cat has their own unique personality and needs. Pet safety, patience, exercise, and attentive care are my main priorities while ensuring all owner’s guidance is followed. Pet care is already a large part of my daily routine as a dog and cat owner! I work full time during the week, but I am available 6 AM thru 7 AM and then after 4 PM Monday thru Friday. I also have flexible availability throughout the weekends. Whether it’s an evening walk, a drop-in visit, or weekend care while you’re away, I enjoy making time to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I treat both with the same care and respect I would my own. Whether I’m house sitting, stopping by for a visit, or taking your dog for a walk, I make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet is unique and am attentive to each pet’s individual personality, needs, and comfort level. During walks, I prioritize safe handling and remain aware of our surroundings. For drop-ins and house sitting, I’ll make sure your pets have fresh water, appropriate meals, exercise, playtime, medication as needed, and plenty of attention. I’ll also respect your home, keep things tidy, and ensure doors and gates are securely closed. Clear and consistent communication is provided throughout every encounter. I’ll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away!
“Jade is a wonderful rover sitter. She took great care of our senior Pomeranian and our home while we were out of the country on vacation. She even drove us to the airport and back. We will definitely work with her in the future as long as she continues to work with Rover.”
“Maggie is outstanding!! She stayed with our Pit bull and two cats who were happy and content when we returned home?. Maggie took great care, and updated us with photos and comments about how our pets were doing, which we loved!”

“Alexandra was great with our pups! We received several updates and pictures during their overnight stay. Felt very comfortable and at ease having her take care of our dogs. Great working with you, Alexandra!”
“Aziz did a fantastic job house sitting for our dog and two cats during a week-long family trip. He communicated so well and clearly, pays great attention to detail, and our pets were so well taken care of. It's also worth noting that our two cats are elderly and require a fair bit more attention and care than ordinary cats, and Aziz did a marvelous job meeting their needs. Will definitely book again for future trips. :)”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to turtles and horses! Being around animals makes me very happy and this is a way that I love to destress! I would absolutely love to help you and add a little less stress or worry to your day by playing with your dog(s), taking them on walks, whatever you might need! It causes for less stress on both parties! I used to work on a farm and my job was to feed all the animals (over 50!!) in a timely way and I absolutely loved it! If your dog has a special meal plan I will make sure to adhere to it and that they get lots of love and pets along the way!

I can't say enough good things about Debdatta! This was our first time using her, and she truly went above and beyond for our dog, Joy. An unexpected medical situation came up right before our trip, and Deb stepped in without hesitation, taking on far more than we had originally planned. She was incredibly caring, attentive and communicative (we loved the photos and videos!) throughout our time away, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Joy was in wonderful hands. We are so grateful for the care and attention Deb gave her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet!
Kara was fantastic. Our trip was almost a week and she did a great job with a 4 month old puppy. It was our first time leaving him for an extended period and we came back to a happy, healthy puppy. She gave him lots of great playtime and attention and left the house in fantastic shape, Her communication and attention to detail was also terrific. Will definitely use Kara again.

Sarah takes such great care of our two dogs and gives us complete peace of mind while we were away. She’s thoughtful, reliable, communicative, and truly cares about the animals she watches. Our dogs absolutely love her, and honestly, I can’t imagine asking anyone else to care for them!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Maple Grove walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Maple Grove maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Maple Grove 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
