“Anna was so great!! Super communicative and willing to stop in and meet Olive before my trip. Would recommend Anna to anyone needing a pet sitter!! I would give 10 stars if I could.”
“Darwin was incredible! He did a series of drop in visits while I was away on vacation. He was very accommodating with my schedule and provided great updates /photos. I would definitely ask him to be a sitter again! Thank you!!”
About: With 12 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a lifetime of love, patience, and understanding to every furry friend I meet. Growing up in a pet-loving family, I had the joy of bonding with cats and dogs alike, and now I have a sweet pup of my own who continues to teach me every day. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to wise seniors—and have some training experience that helps me connect with each pet’s unique needs and personality. To me, animals are the most precious beings, and they deserve more than just basic care—they deserve to be loved, respected, and pampered. I will always go out of my way to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and at home, as if they were my own! Even though my job comes with an unusual and ever-changing schedule, pet care is always a top priority in my life. I make it a point to plan around the pets I care for—ensuring they get all the love, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s making time for a walk, a cuddle session, or just being there when they need company, I’m fully committed to giving every pet in my care the same love and attention I give my own. Flexibility is part of my lifestyle, and it allows me to show up for your pets when you need me most! I care for my own dog with daily walks, lots of playtime, and all the cuddles he could ever want—he’s truly part of the family! That same level of love and attention is what I bring to every pet I care for. And while my dog is friendly and well-socialized, I completely understand that every pet has different comfort levels. If your pet needs space or a more private experience, I can easily keep them separated to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home!
“Andrew was extremely communicative, very attentive to our cat Niles’ needs, he took a lot of pictures of our kitty to reassure us, and went above and beyond taking care of our cat. Book him!”
“She did a wonderful job with my guinea pigs. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of when I was gone. I was nervous about leaving them for an extended period of time as they are older guineas pigs, but she did better than I could have expected. I would highly recommend”
About: Hello, my name is Claire. I have been lucky enough to grow up surrounded by dogs and cats, and have pet sat many times for friends and family. Because of this, I have learned to care for animals at every stage of life. My experience ranges from command and walk training for puppies, to adhering to a regimented medicine routine for senior dogs, to doing daily playtime and pet waste clean-up. I am very tidy, organized, and am happy to adapt to you and your pets' needs. I also love to spend time outside, so I can promise plenty of walks and safe outside time for your pet. I'm excited to meet and care for your furry friend! I am a graduate student at the U of Minnesota, but I will have time outside of class for your dogs. I am most available to stay over on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights, as well as Wednesday and Friday during the day. On weekdays, I will be out for several hours at school in the middle of the day, but will be available for drop in visits or walks during the morning and late afternoon. While I do not offer boarding pets in my home, I am happy to do home visits that adhere to your pets' routine. I will respect what time they typically eat meals, wake up, play, go outside, and walk, as well as where they sleep in your home. I will also ensure that your home is kept clean during my stay.
“Natalie was wonderful! She was communicative and friendly, and I love that she's a true neighbor. The kitties were in good hands, and I would happily leave them in her care again.”
“Will took excellent care of our dogs. He made sure to check on them, give them ample play time, and ensure they had water. We have two English Mastiffs, one of whom is young, so we really appreciate having someone who is confident with large, adolescent dogs. On top of it all, he’s an excellent photographer and took a lot of great photos! We are excited to use his services again in the future and would highly recommend him to others.”
“Jessica did a great job with drop in visits to check on my cat. She was amazing with communication and reliable. I would recommend her and I would re-book her again!”
“Marissa was absolutely amazing. I was nervous about leaving my cats at home for so long. She came over to meet with them beforehand to make everyone feel comfortable. She checked in daily with photos and updates. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for my whole life, starting with the family dog when I was 4. When I was 22, I got my first dog. A basset hound name Charlie who gave me all the lessons in having a new puppy, and a vocal one at that. My most recent dog, a yorkshire terrier named Lucy, sadly passed 3 years ago at the age of 13 after battling heart and kidney problems. What sets me apart, is that I have experienced the life stages of a dog from puppy to old age, and have loved them fully in all of those stages. I've handled the training and high energy and teething stages, and eased them to the other side with the frequent appointments and medications. Having grown up and been around dogs my whole life, I feel they can sense my genuine love for all animals and I have gotten good at helping all dogs eventually feel at ease with me. Like I say to all people who have told me "they really like you", I have great dog vibes. (And am very responsible too). I am in the process of shifting careers and am wanting to take the time to decide where that will lead. I teach 2-3 crochet classes a month on Sundays but besides those times, I can be available any time as long as there is a little notice. For transparency, I will be looking for additional part time work while in this transitioning stage, but I will update my availability and coordinate with current clients with plenty of notice as I do not plan on stopping with Rover. Right now, I am in a place that does not allow animals, but I am happy to visit/stay at homes or take pets out for walks. A typical schedule when I had dogs, was to wake up and take them for a walk right away, then I would feed them and start my day. Additionally, I always made sure to get them out for an evening/nighttime walk. The amounts of time I take them out to the bathroom depends on the age of the dog and whether there are any issues with accidents in the home. As my dog got older, I had to take her out more frequently and make arrangements with others to help me. I I am in tune with dogs while I am with them. I will leave them alone if they are sleeping or are content, but I am frequently talking to them and connecting with them in different ways (pets, throwing toys, singing songs about them, etc..) so they don't feel ignored. After having 3 of my own dogs, I know how different dogs can be (even if they are all good boys and girls). Knowing a little bit about the dog's personality, fears, favorite treats/toys, health status, etc. helps me care for them better, make their environment safer, and keep them comfortable.
“Caroline did an excellent job taken care of my cats, she followed my instructions perfectly, and gave me daily updates, and even checked in with me after I got home. I will definitely rehire her as I know my cats are in good care.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Minneapolis
Emily was absolutely wonderful! She was so caring and reliable, and the daily photos and updates made us smile and feel at ease while we were away. Knowing our timid kitties were in such loving hands meant the world to us. We’d happily book Emily again and can’t recommend her enough!
Doreen was so great with our cat, Milo! He is a high-energy young cat, and Doreen was super consistent and caring with visiting him, playing with a bunch of his toys, and making sure his water and litter box were always fresh. She also always sent photos and an update each day that we were gone. She gave us so much peace of mind while we traveled, I would definitely recommend :)
We had SUCH an incredible experience with Hannah, she was so so sweet to our Louie, very respectful of our house, timely, and took the best pictures sharing more than +10 each time she came by. She even sang Happy Birthday to our cat Louie which warmed my heart, I was so sad to be out of town for his birthday but Hannah provided such great care it made it easier🥹 we will definitely have Hannah back!!
I can't recommend Tanya enough! She made sure our cats were well taken care of while we were away. She was very quick to respond to messages and she kept us updated throughout the entire time. She even vacuumed so we could come home to a fur-free house! We (and our kitties) are so grateful for her services.
As someone with two cats that are still learning to get along, and who need to be kept separated, I was a little nervous to leave them with someone new who didn’t know their routine. However Amber was incredible with our two cats, and she didn’t mind the extra steps I had her take to ensure the cats didn’t get into a fight. She also provided us with plenty of updates so we’d know how they were doing which was very reassuring. Both my cats loved her, and I’d rebook her again in a heartbeat!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Minneapolis is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 per visit.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .

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.
