About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have always been a natural animal lover — animals tend to love me just as much as I love them. I currently have a few cats and live with my best friend, who has a dog of her own that I help care for regularly (she’s basically mine too!). I also have hands-on experience working with dogs from spending a couple of years at a doggy daycare, where I learned how to care for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m currently a server, and with it being the slow season right now, my availability is very flexible and open for most days and times. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all routines, feeding schedules, and special instructions so your pet gets consistent care and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just snuggles, I make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and well looked-after while you’re away.
“Annie provided great care for my cat, Dorian. I was only away for a night and a morning, but Annie sent me pictures, which I so appreciated! Will certainly be reaching out again :)”
“Ciboney was great with Kylo! She was easy to schedule with and was always on time to check on him. I would highly recommend and will used her again in the future when we go out of town. Thanks again for helping us!”
About: I’ve taken care of my Tibetan Mastiff since before I can remember, and I’m my go-to neighborhood dog walker/caretaker. I love all shapes and sizes of dogs! I’m currently an online student at MNSU, so anytime during the weekday for boarding and walking is entirely open. Weekends work for specific dates and times. I have a reliable mode of transportation and I love taking care of animals. Whether it’s bathing, feeding, walking, or just sitting with a dog, I love to be there. I have grown up with a fear reactive dog, so I have experience with reading dog’s body language and reacting accordingly.
About: I’ve been a pet sitter since I was 16 years old being of service to families as they were away on their vacations. I take care to spend time with the animals and make sure their needs are met as requested by the clients. I know how important pets are to a family, so making sure your pet is taken care of is my number one priority. And it’s always a joy to meet new people and pets. I work from home 2 days a week, have weekends off, and have a flexible work schedule. I prefer taking care of pets during holiday seasons or long weekends. I live with no pets in a townhome. A big space with a yard, parks and great trails. Plenty of space in the home for pets to roam around and be comfortable
“Emily took great care of our cat, Pumpkin, and provided lots of details and pictures from each visit. The two seemed to get along great and Emily communicated clearly and frequently throughout the weekend.”
About: I have been working in animal care for 4 years, I started specializing in doggy daycare, animal behavior, and bathing, trimming/dremmeling nails. In between daycare shifts I was in charge of feeding, administering medication, cleaning up waste, enrichments, handling and carrying dogs up to 250lbs. I’ve always had a strong connection to senior, rescues, reactive, or misunderstood animals. My greatest passion in life is to positively impact animals lives. It’s extremely important in my care to be empathetic; assessing all of their possible needs, and problem solving unwanted behaviors. I have worked all sizes and ages of animals including rescues/reactive/anxious pets, disabled animals(blind, deaf, dementia, etc). I am very diligent with my care and I’m willing to take on any challenge big or small! I’ve been pet sitting full time since the start of this year and it’s always been a positive experience for both me and my clients! I have full open availability! I have a cat I adore caring for, we even go on walks occasionally! I’m usually up early, and have a strict routine with my pets. I have an online art apprenticeship and will be working on art projects with any free time after caring for your pet. I have a very open schedule and I am open to any additional tasks as well! I’m open to multiple drop in visits or even walks before sittings as well! Trust is extremely important while caring for others animals. I am committed to keeping a safe environment and I am more than happy to discuss any additional needs or preferences to make your pets stay more comfortable. I have been thoroughly trained(and have handled) in dog fights, aggression, pestering behavior, and snapping. I am open to any breed any size, I have yet to meet a pet that has scared me. I am also able to provide baths/nail trims or dremmels/brushing/enrichment materials upon request. I am very flexible and am able to accommodate as needed! I’m extremely open to adjusting prices and making a personalized price that can fit your budget! I have also previously been a house cleaner(I offer cleaning services as well!)and I enjoy making your stay as seamless as possible, I’m extremely understanding with any change to your sitting!
“Sharron is always reliable, the dogs love her. She always follows all the instructions perfectly even when I might make them more confusing and I need to. I will definitely continue to book her and recommend her to others!”
About: I grew up with a medium sized dog (Vizsla mix) and have experience dog sitting for friends and family. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and cared for in their environment. I'm a very responsible, patient, and attentive college student. I completely understand how important it is to follow routines and instructions closely. Through my experience caring for others in my job, I've developed strong communication skills and reliability, which I also bring into pet care. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and will treat your pet as if they are my own, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm also open to send updates and photos to help feel at ease! I currently work part time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to fit pet care into my day. My availability may vary slightly day to day, but I am generally available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. Starting mid June, I will be working an internship on weekdays, but will still be available in the evenings and on weekends. I'm happy to work with your schedule and be as flexible as possible! I live in a clean, pet friendly apartment with access to many safe walking paths nearby, which is perfect for regular walks and outdoor time. I always prioritize a dog's safety, comfort, and routine, and I am careful about following instructions provided by the owner. In a client's home, I am respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I'm attentive, responsible, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident that your pet is in good hands!

“Maria did a great job housesitting and taking care of my dog and cat for a week. She was responsible, communicated well and was very well liked by both pets. Will definitely have her back again next time!”
About: I've been taking care of people's cats and dogs alike ever since I was a teenager around the Edina neighborhood. I moved to Woodbury around 2019 where I adopted a cat. I grew up with dogs but I've wanted a cat too so now I'd say I'm proficient with both cats and dogs. I work part-time. I have flexible schedule on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.so I'm pretty much available all day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'm available to stay overnight if that is a need for the pet. I always make sure to establish trust between myself and the pet and the pet parent. I also understand animals need time to adjust to new people and every animal is different. Some also need more space to adjust and I'm that person that will give the time and space the animal needs.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Mayer is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $24 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
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 Mayer 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.
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 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.
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.

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 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.
