About: I grew up with a lot of pets. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, and for the last 3 years I've been doing pet care along with child care for a well respected small company in Northern MN. I love working with animals and I'm very good at taking care of them, whether that's short term, long term, or just for a day. I'm currently not working outside of pet sitting, and I try to be very active so daily walks are a must have along with trips to the park and indoor play time. I keep a consistent sleep schedule so I can easily cater to the schedule of your animals. I live in a townhouse community near a lake with a walking trail and a large open field perfect for longer walks with the pups! When I'm in a clients home, I will communicate with you first to learn if you have a schedule for the pets you'd like me to follow. Then I will make sure their needs are met and have plenty of play time in and outside so they get their exercise in between naps and cuddles.
“Heather took great care of my dog and cat. She treated them as if they were her own. She was great with communication and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for great care for their pets. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Carolyn is great with our cat Tess. She is also patient with all my directions for feeding my fur girl - I am grateful for that. I recommend her very highly.”
“Very patient with my cat! He is very shy but extremely loving. He doesn't do well with new people and Rozalyn took the time to make him comfortable during our time away! She is amazing!”
About: I have professional experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs in both daycare and boarding environments. My responsibilities included supervising groups of dogs, providing meals and medications when needed, maintaining clean and safe play areas, giving dogs individual attention, and making sure each pet was comfortable and well cared for during their stay. I also have experience grooming dogs, including bathing, brushing, drying, and general coat care. Working in a professional pet-care environment taught me how to handle dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs while keeping their safety and happiness a priority. work full-time in the afternoons and evenings, so I have great availability for pet care during the mornings and early afternoons. I’m also available on my days off and can work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I’m dependable and will make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. take pet safety and comfort very seriously. I’m experienced caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, ages, and needs, and I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I’ll keep your home secure, make sure your pets have everything they need, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Madeline was great! I had a last minute need for a drop in visit and Madeline was very quick at responding and accommodating. My cat does not like other people but he came out of hiding when Madeline visited which speaks volumes!”
“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!”
“I was very pleased with Jill! It is obvious that she really cares about the animals. I loved that she took time at the introduction meeting to connect with the cats. She made sure I felt comfortable leaving them in her care and that she would follow instructions. Her pictures of my kitties made me laugh and made me feel less anxious about leaving them. I adored her! I highly recommend Jill! Susan N”
“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!”
“Dakota appears to have checked all boxes requested! Cats are older and pretty inactive, but i see no problems at all. Communication was steady and reliable. Thanks Dakota! Planning on using her in the very near future if she is available.”
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: I grew up with dogs, and have lived with and cared for many a cat. Over the years I’ve become to the go-to pet sitter in my circles, and have sat for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and even hedgehogs! I have experience caring for elderly dogs and and am no stranger to administering special diets, exercise plans and medication. I am so excited for the chance to get to know and love your furry friends! I am quick to form bonds with animals, and love to see old friends again with repeat clients. I’m currently in school once day a week, so I have plenty of time to be with your pet(s). I love getting outdoors, so it’s truly a joy and not out of my way to walk your dog an extra time or take them to the park. I am a naturally playful person, but take your pets’ well-being very seriously- I always ask upfront about your pet’s health and any special needs they may have, as well as for your vets information and nearest emergency clinic. I have a car, so I am able to get them somewhere quickly if need be. I also know that communication with the client is key, and enjoy giving regular updates and do my best to be responsive to messages and questions.

Madeline is amazing! She is thorough, very communicative, and flexible. She has watched my cats 2 times now and I’ve always felt complete comfort while I’m away knowing she’s the one to look after them. She will always be my go-to sitter! Plus, my cats love her (even the one that is normally shy!) so win win :)
Carolyn does such a great job & enjoys the walks as much as the dogs do. Carolyn is sweet, kind & loves animals. Reid’s sees that she is coming & goes nuts as he knows he is going for a walk. Our coonhound Emma was the same way. She loved it when Carolyn would come to walk her. You can not go wrong with Carolyn.
Laura came over to sit with and feed our dogs this afternoon as we were out of town for most of the day. She had been here recently, so they were very comfortable with her and she knew what to feed them and where to find their food and medications. It made our day easier because we had complete confidence that she would spend time with them, make sure they ate, had water and got out to relieve themselves. She also sat with them for a while and played fetch with our younger dog.
We’ve used Jessica several times, and she’s been fantastic every time. She’s consistently available on short notice, always punctual, and very polite. Even though we’re not home during her visits, our hairless cat, who is extremely selective about people,comes out to see her and happily lets Jessica pet her. That alone says a lot. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
They looked to have been well fed and happy when I got home. I always appreciate your willingness to communicate essentials so that important detail doesn’t get missed and that you were not put off by the snow. I am sure they loved your stories and I am grateful that someone they know and trust attends to them. Maturity and experience mean everything.

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 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.

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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
