Erica was great. We did a meet and greet before hand and my very nervous dogs warmed up to her immediately. She sent frequent updates and pictures! In one picture my dog was licking her face so I know that loved her!! We will be using her again in the future :)

About: I've had cats since I was a child. Neighbors, roommates, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of pets when they are gone. This has included feeding at a specific time in a specific way and at times giving medication. With a former roommate, I also found and rescued a young female cat during law school, and she turned out to be pregnant. We bathed and brushed her several times to get rid of fleas, got her spayed after pregnancy, and rehomed the kittens. I've had my own cat for a few years now, and I understand needing to maintain their routine and monitoring diet to address issues such as regurgitation of food due to poor city water quality or eating too fast or sensitive stomach issues. I am an attorney and can visit the cats in the mornings and evenings and during the weekend at regular times and ensure they receive love and playtime. I do not care for pets in my home, as my apartment is too small and my cat is more of an only child. However, I am very much able to spend at least a couple hours each day with my clients' cat(s) to feed them, maintain cleanliness of their spaces, play with them with their favorite toys, and give them pets as each cat prefers.

Iris did a great job with our two cats for drop-in visits. She shared pictures, gave updates and observations. We feel our fur babies were well taken care of and would recommend Iris.

About: I've cared for several family and friend's pets over the years, loving them as my own. I can take dogs on walks, play with them, let them out, and ensure they feel comfortable and safe. I recently started a new job so I'm working out how my new routine will fit in with pet care. I'll be working some days from home so I will have a little bit of flexibility. Each pet has different needs, so I'm here to provide a great environment for your pet! Whether they need frequent short walks, to be let outside, play time, or crate time, I'm here to ensure they are well-cared-for.

About: Hi, I’m Caitlyn, you can also call me Wren! I have experience caring for several family dogs, one of which was a senior and had lots of mobility issues and pain, so I got comfortable helping her get around safely and giving her medicine. I have also watched many dogs of various sizes & needs for neighbors and friends. I love taking dogs on walks (if they are able), and am happy to match whatever their energy level is! I have a flexible schedule, working just part time and attending one college course, so I have plenty of availability to spend time with your fur babies! I understand the level of trust placed in me when going into other peoples’ homes to care for their pets, so I am conscious to always leave the space as I found it and go over with clients the spaces and items I should and should not interact with. I am happy to provide extra services like grabbing mail & watering plants if you would like, just let me know!

About: Hi, I’m Emily! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I feel so lucky to turn that passion into a career. I’ve worked as a wedding pet attendant, dog groomer, training, and even at a vet hospital—so I’m comfortable with pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog is full of energy or a little shy, I meet them where they’re at and treat them like my own. I’d love the chance to get to know your furry family member and make their day a little brighter! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life—I truly build my schedule around it. Whether I’m out walking dogs, checking in on pets, or helping with training, being around animals keeps me grounded and happy. I treat each visit like quality time, not just a task to check off. I’m used to working with a variety of pets throughout the week, so I’m very flexible and always make sure I have time to give each one the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow your routines so your pet feels safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special needs like medications or training cues. I keep things clean and calm, and make sure your pet gets lots of love, playtime, and attention while you're away. If your pup is staying in my home, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I provide a cozy, safe environment with plenty of supervised play, cuddles, and outdoor time. I always prioritize their comfort and make sure they have everything they need to feel right at home.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for more than 20 years, including pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals needing a little extra patience and attention. I’ve had many dogs and cats throughout my life and currently have a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd named Mitzi. My experience also includes caring for hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, rabbits, and horses. I grew up involved in 4-H and around veterinary knowledge through my father, who attended veterinary school, which helped build my comfort and confidence around a wide variety of animals. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently work on my own schedule as a Microbiology and Food Safety consultant, which allows me lots of flexibility when it comes to pet care, whether that means long play sessions, a walk around the block, or just a quick check-in. My unique work schedule allows me to be available during weekdays as well as on weekends. Whether your pet enjoys long walks or quality time on the couch, I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit the needs of your pet. I always treat animals with respect and let them set the tone. Making sure pets feel safe and comfortable is my number one priority. I focus on keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, bathroom breaks, and any other specific needs your pet may have. I’m happy to spend time playing, going for walks, or simply keeping them company depending on their personality and energy level. I’ll also make sure they have fresh water, a clean and comfortable space, and plenty of attention. During house sitting, I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was a kid. Growing up on a farm, raising animals for 4-H, and having our own cats and dogs. I’ve never been without a pet in my life. Love meeting new furry friends! I work as a flight attendant, so I have several days off a month to take care of your pets! Usually I work long weekends (Thursday through Monday-ish, but only four days at a time), so weekdays are best! I have a backyard and extra leashes to easily take your pet outside whenever, plus two chill middle-aged dogs at home to play with your fur baby if able!

About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.

Jennifer B. Was absolutely amazing over the weekend! She did drop-in visits for our 4 dogs Finn, Izzi, Coco and Lulu and kept me completely updated with frequent photos and messages. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up unexpected messes without any complaints. Managing a pack of four requires a lot of skill, and she handles it flawlessly. Truly professional, highly communicative, and fantastic with our pups. I will definitely be booking her again. Mary M

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Mendota Heights on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 5,573 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Mendota Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mendota Heights. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
