“Felicia went *above* above and beyond with my skittish cat! She sent such nice updates and lots of photos, brought extra treats for my lil man, and experimented with different ways to engage him. He was having big trouble before my trip, as he’d recently lost his brother – so I was extremely worried about leaving him. Felicia took that to heart and loved on him as if he were her own. She must have a sixth cat sense, because my cat is very shy and skittish; despite that, he quickly became comfortable with her, and even endured a building-wide alarm test without any residual trauma upon my return. That speaks volumes about how Felicia put him at ease! I can’t recommend her as a cat sitter enough.”

“Claire is an amazing sitter! She took such good care of our sassy teenage cat. It is my first time using Rover and Claire made me feel immediately at ease and was incredibly communicative while watching our cat. We highly recommend her for any pet sitting you may need!”


“Bond is never happy to have his regular staff away, but he seemed happy when we got home so Emily apparently was a good substitute! Emily had good communication and sent photos daily.”

“Kayden was there when I needed someone to watch my dogs last minute. He made sure of what the routine was with little direction. I’m very happy he was available to help me out!!”

“Jocelyn was amazing! She took great care of my animals and helped me out last minute! She was responsible and had great communication! I will definitely be booking her again 😊”

“Alura is reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Alura has taken care of Poot over the past year (although this is my first time using Rover), and I really appreciate all the love and care she gives Poot. Thanks for looking after Poot!”

“Ana is truly wonderful. She immediately presents with a calm friendly trustworthy manner. I sought her out for her medical training for help and suggestions with a cat that needs injections. It was hard to filter that out in search paarmeters but I really lucked out coming across Ana. She was very sweet with my dog and two cats and listened empathically to each of my pets needs and requirements. I look forward to working with her further on. I travel a lot and my pets needs are particular, I don't trust many with my pets, especially my dog. I feel confident my pets will be safe and well cared for with her.”
About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m an animal lover who truly believes pets are part of the family. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and will treat your pets with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I’m also respectful of your home and will leave everything just as I found it. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can trust for all your pet-sitting needs! 🐶🐱❤️ I am currently available every day and have an open schedule. I available most nights as well and can house sit overnight as well. Dip in visits and walking services can be any time needed! I currently live in an apartment with a cat so I would have to take care of the animal at their house. I have crate trained dogs before so can crate animals if needed
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I had a cat growing up and have also pet sat for cats, including administering medication, feeding on a schedule, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they felt comfortable and cared for while their owners were away. My family has always had dogs, and I lived with a large dog for a couple of years. During that time, I helped with daily walks, feeding, general care, and maintaining routines. I’m comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and energy levels, following specific instructions, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed in their own environment. I am attentive, patient, and very good at following care instructions exactly as provided. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m reliable with schedules and plan my days around commitments, which makes it easy for me to prioritize feeding times, walks, check-ins, and medication needs. I’m organized and responsive, so pets receive consistent care and attention rather than feeling rushed. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them never feels like a chore. I treat pets and homes with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and pay close attention to each pet’s comfort and safety. I make sure food and water areas are clean, litter boxes and outdoor areas are maintained, and pets receive the attention they need. In clients’ homes, I’m clean and respectful. I keep spaces tidy, lock up properly, and communicate clearly with updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: I am a Board Certified Veterinary Technician. I have a strong passion for animal rights and quality of care. I have skills in working with geriatric dogs and special needs. I provide therapy, exercise, and enrichment. . I work a part time job. I will provide excellent care of your four legged family member when they are staying with me. I will keep them on a schedule to keep them comfortable. I have a fenced yard and the dogs will be taken on daily walks with the leash on. I will provide enrichment, exercise, and attention to detail. I can administer medications if needed and follow the protocol.
“Absolutely loved having Victoria watch over my babies. This was our first time having someone come do a drop by and I was worried how it would go but my boys quickly warmed up to her. I love how she kept in constant contact and gave me daily updates and pictures. Thank you so much!!!!”

“My dog does not trust new people easily, but she warmed up to Isabelle’s sweet personality right away. She said no coaxing was needed after the first day and she always came right down to eat.”

About: I’ve had my own personal pets all my life and believe pets are family and treat them as such. I have also taken care of friends, and family pets as well. Currently, I do not have any pets of my own as I lost my 2 Boston terriers last year. Now I’m dedicating my time to help others care for their pet family members. I love animals and anyone who knows me, knows this about me. I work from home full-time and I can work from anywhere that has internet. I just bring my laptop and I’m able to care for your fur kids all day :) I am especially good at cuddles all day, walks, and feeding/playing with your fur kids. My motto is animals are better than humans because they are. I love them!
“Jordan was incredible with our animals and treated them like family. He was incredibly responsive, respectful of the house and property but above all a dog whisperer for our extremely anxious pup. He went above and beyond to make sure their needs were met and even spoke to them so sweetly, no matter how much they ran away from him! I cannot recommend him enough and look forward to a long lasting partnership for our travel and business trip needs! Thank you Jordan for finally providing some peace of mind that there was a perfect fit for our small petting zoo!!”

“Michelle was the best! I just moved to the area and needed someone quickly to watch my dog for a weekend. Michelle put me at ease completely. She was very communicative, sent great updates and photos, and was always on time. Thank you, Michelle!”

“Marcus was great! He exceeded our expectations. We had to travel on short notice and he made us feel comfortable leaving our dog Wally, and made our first time using Rover a pleasant experience. He sent us detailed accounts of his visits and walks with our dog and sent tons of cute pictures! Wally seemed very content when we got home, and I know he enjoyed his time with Marcus.”

Emily was great! She was really on top of everything in the app and was very communicative and responsive throughout. I felt completely comfortable entrusting her with Lola’s care, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely use her again!

Mark just watched our kitty while we were on a camping trip. Cali needs medicine twice a day. Mark made sure she got her Rx, food, water and lots of loves. Cali is very shy and hides from new people. It was so nice to see photos each day of Cali getting pets and looking happy. Mark also left notes about how things went each day. It really allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. Thank you so much, Mark for going above and beyond for us and for Cali. 💜

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Minnehaha is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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.
As of November 2026, there are 6,541 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Minnehaha. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Minnehaha. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
