About: I love creatures of all kinds-whether they're stinky, silly, or sneaky, I think animals are wonderful and deserve the best life we can offer them. It's a joy for me to help your pets feel cared for. I'm currently working part-time, Mon/Wed/Fri. If you have any specific needs, I'm happy to talk more about how to provide your beloved pet with the best possible care while you're away. I'm happy to keep your creature company and see to their needs. I am a very timely, tidy and diligent person, and try to leave a place just as good as I found it (or better!).
“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.”

“Catarina is our go-to with our pup Kaya - she is always so easy to work with, communicates well and Kaya loves her! Highly recommend & we will continue to use Catarina for all of Kaya's sitting needs.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager, regularly babysitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve also been volunteering at my local animal shelter since I was 22, which has given me even more opportunities to be around and care for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m a genuine animal lover who enjoys everything from long walks and playtime to cuddles and keeping your pup company. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I promise to treat every dog with the same love and care I would give my own! I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM–5 PM in Plymouth, but I’m happy to be flexible whenever possible! I’m available to coordinate walks, drop-ins, and other pet care needs around my work schedule. I understand that every pet and pet parent has a different routine, and I’d love to work together to find a schedule that works for everyone. I’m especially happy to help with evenings, weekends, and occasional weekday needs when my schedule allows! I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, medication instructions, walking routines, and any other special requests. I love sending pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for! I’m also an active person who loves being outdoors and staying on the move, so I’m very comfortable keeping up with high-energy pups who enjoy longer walks, plenty of playtime, and extra exercise:)

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover, and over the past 5 years I've been dog-sitting for family and friends regularly. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, as well as some experience with rescues and puppies. I love taking dogs on long walks on the trails near my house and cuddling up while reading or watching a movie at home! I am a student taking online classes, so during the work week I am available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks during the day. I work in the evenings on the weekend, so I'm only available for overnight boarding and sitting during the week. I live in a quiet area with my parents, one of whom works from home during the week. Our dog passed a few months ago (she was 15!), so we're missing having a companion at home and have lots of love to give. I'm within a 5 minute walk to multiple parks and trails for walks. There is also a large yard, however it isn't fenced, so leashes are a must!

About: I’ve grown up with and loved dogs my whole life! Most of my experience has been with larger dogs, but I’ve also cared for plenty of smaller dogs through friends. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including dogs needing medication or a little extra attention. I’m comfortable with all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’ll make sure they’re happy and healthy while you’re away! I have a consistent Tuesday-Saturday work schedule with Sundays and Mondays off. I’m available for pet care before and after work and have full availability on my days off! Your pet’s safety and comfort is number 1! So I’ll follow your instructions and normal routine as closely as possible including meals, walks, medications, and any special care they need! I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away!
“Our dogs loved Sophia and she gave them lots of fun attention and kept to their schedules. She also communicated with us very well. We were confident our pups were in good hands”


About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with professional experience as a dog trainer, veterinary technician, and dog walker. I now work in human medicine but have knowledge and experience when it comes to animals. My background as a vet tech has given me experience recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and caring for pets with medical needs. I've also cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra attention and gentle care. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, overnight care, drop-in visits, or extra TLC while you're away, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I'm committed to providing dependable, compassionate, and personalized care. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you're away! I work from home Friday - Sunday (12 hr shifts) but have time for walks during lunch and potty breaks if needed throughout the day. I do live in a 2 bedroom apartment (pet friendly) by myself next to a walking path with a small lake, perfect for dog walking. I also live 5 minutes from an off leash dog park.
About: I grew up around dogs and other small mammals, and grew into taking care of cats and smaller animals. I specialize in taking care of small critters - I also love the bigger critters too! I work in the film industry as an actor, so my schedule is pretty free - I'm looking to make pet sitting my main source of income! Outside of shoot dates and other production necessities, I am completely available. I love animals, and love spending time with them. My goal when visiting and taking care of your animal/s is to ease their anxiety about you being gone as well as keeping them happy, healthy, and above all safe!
“Grace was fantastic! She went above and beyond, sent photos and communicated daily, and she even brought my packages inside when I forgot to hold the mail. I will definitely book her again and would recommend her to anyone!”

About: My family has raised cat(s) and a Rottie. My last cat "Marco" has just went over the rainbow bridge. As a empty nester, I travel more now so need to fill my desire to be around animals through helping people take care of there fur babies. Hi! I'm excited to be back in Minnesota after recently moving home from Florida. Because of my move, I had stopped taking new clients for awhile and my rover reviews are a little bit aged for that reason. I am looking at reconnecting my past clients and meeting many new furry friends and their families! I'm a flight attendant, so my schedule varies, but I always keep my Rover calendar updated so you can easily se my availability. When I'm home, I love spending my time caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable while you're away. One of my biggest strengths is having a wonderful support system. My dear friend of 30+ years is also a trusted Rover sitter, and we often help each other out with referrals, etc. when needed. It gives both of us extra flexibility and helps ensure the pets in our care always receive reliable, attentive service. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention, I'd be honored to care for them as i they were my own. I can't wait to work with both new and returning clients and build lasting relationships with you and your pet(s). I love helping people and animals. I know 1st hand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family. I have a dependable vehicle and free time to assist people with your fur babies. I intentionally plan my schedule to ensure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I prioritize consistency, safety, and communication. You will always receive updates and photos giving you the peace of mind while you are away.
About: After my sisters and I begged my parents for years to get a puppy we were finally surprised with one. We’ve had her for 12 years now! A little cockapoo named Jersey. I have so much love for her and I want to share that love with other sweet doggies! Just like any dog I love to be outdoors so there will be no worry that your dog gets out enough to potty and go for a walk. I love cuddly dogs but if yours likes his/her personal space that’s okay too!! I’m pretty quick on picking up on a dogs personality/what he/she likes but if there’s anything you’d like me to know beforehand please do! I’m currently searching for a new job due to pay so for the time being I’m free Sunday evenings, Mondays-Thursday’s all day and Friday mornings/afternoons! I unfortunately do not have a yard but have a few parks walking distance from my home that are wide open for dogs to play and run around!! I live in a college apt with 4 other girls who are always very excited to have pets around and 2 who dog sit/walk themselves (if one of my roommates has a dog over already that will certainly be communicated with the customer) I do not have a crate at my home, all dogs are allowed on one of our coaches or my bed. If a crate is wanted though just let me know!
About: I’ve been caring for pets since my early 20s! From walks and playtime to overnight stays, I provide dependable, loving care like they’re my own. 🐾💕 I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to stop by for walks, playtime, and extra snuggles! My availability may shift in the spring and summer as my work schedule gets busier, but I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! 🐾💕 I have an 6 year old chocolate Lab who loves meeting new friends and welcoming other pets. While I don’t currently have a fenced-in yard, I make sure pets staying with me receive plenty of supervised walks, outdoor time, and engaging activities with my family. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. 🐾💕
About: 🐾🐾🐾I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages. I currently care for my 9yo cattle dog mix. 🐶🐶🐶Growing up, my family got a dog when I was 2. Ever since then, I enjoy being around all kinds of pets and animal companions! 🐐🐐🐐I hope to expand my experience into farm-sitting with a special interest in goats and sheep. ♥️♥️♥️ How does pet care fit into your daily or weekly routine? I currently have an open schedule besides school and babysitting! I get my dog out for walks everyday too. I usually care for pets at a client's home. Caring for the home and animal companions is a priority for me. Please let me know specific care needs in a message as you think of any.

About: I have tons of experience with my sister’s and friends dogs growing up. I love them more than anything and I’m looking forward to meeting more! I do work a full time job from 8-4:30 Monday-Friday I’m available most evenings and all weekends. I work full time but always during the day. I will make it work in the worst case scenario! I live in a very nice apartment in Eden Prairie and a nice area as well. I have a lot of nice parks around too!
About: I know how it is to leave town and have to leave your fur babies or animals behind, leaving them in the care of somebody who genuinely loves animals is truly a relief and the assurance we need. Every day you will receive pictures and updates! I have a background in caring for animals on ANY walk of life. Whether that be an animal who is more skittish, puppies, kitties, senior dogs or cats I can care for all. I also can help take care of reptiles! I am available full-time to care for, play & attend to your animals' needs. My focus is helping families be able to travel with full security that their fur babies are in great hands. I am here to give your fur babies company, give your fur babies whatever they may require. All animals are different 🤍 I can help soothe animals that may have separation anxiety. I will give them lots of love for you well you are away with them. 🤍🤍
About: I’m a responsible, caring animal lover (since birth) with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I treat every pet like family, providing walks and lots of snuggles of course! You can trust me to keep your furry friends feeling safe and loved while you are away. I work fully remote so I have lot of time to stop by houses for check ins, work from your house or have your furry friend come work with me at home! We have one dog here at home who we let out front on leash. We can keep them separated or together depending on your pets comfort level! If I am staying over at your house or dropping in, I always follow instructions given so there are no changes in routine.
About: Hello! My name is Sejla (Shayla), and caring for dogs is my absolute passion. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether it’s playing fetch, taking long walks, or simply giving them the love and attention they deserve. I take pride in treating every dog as if they were my own, ensuring their comfort, happiness, and well-being at all times. I understand their unique needs and always go the extra mile to make them feel safe and at ease. Dogs bring me so much joy, and I believe my calm, free-spirited energy helps them feel comfortable and relaxed around me. You can trust that I will not only care for your dog but also give you peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. I currently have a full-time job, Monday-Friday until 4:30PM. My fiance works from home, so he takes care of our dogs when I'm gone. I ensure that the dogs I care for have access to fresh food and water at all times so they’re well-nourished and hydrated. I also take them outside regularly, every 2-4 hours or as necessary, to give them the opportunity to use the bathroom and get some fresh air. This routine helps keep them comfortable and establishes a routine. I live for my two puppies (they're adult dogs, but I still like to call them puppies). :) I would bring them everywhere with me if I could, and anywhere they're allowed I'll take them with me! It's hard for me to pass the Dog aisle and not grab a treat or toy for my puppies. I enjoy taking my pups for walks, or to the dog park, playing with toys, giving them treats and taking a million photos of them. In my home, I prioritize a safe, trusting, and welcoming environment. I make sure the space is dog-proofed by securing anything that could be harmful, such as cords, small objects, and potentially toxic household items. I set up a cozy area where they can rest comfortably and feel at ease, surrounded by familiar toys and bedding. I spend quality time with each dog, giving them affection, attention, and reassurance. I also stick to a consistent schedule, including taking them outside every few hours for bathroom breaks and exercise. I offer flexible pet care services to meet the needs of both you and your dog. Whether you'd prefer your dog to stay in the comfort of your home or come to mine, I will ensure that they receive the same level of care, love, and attention. I'd make sure they're in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their routine, and you can trust that your dog will be treated like family, where they'll feel safe and comfortable. Whichever option works best for you, I’m here to provide the perfect environment to ensure your dog feels happy and secure. I'll be sure to send you photos/videos and updates accordingly as well!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Minnetonka
Kristina is absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond caring for our pets. Our bird, fish, and dog take a lot of time and care throughout the day. I was so relieved to find someone who has experience and knowledge with birds. She also took time to meet the needs of my elderly mom by conversation or small little tasks to assist her. Don't hesitate to book her, she listens to small details. Loved having her and plan to rebook again.

Lindsay is a knowledgeable, attentive and conscientious dog sitter. She communicated as needed and included pictures with each visit. I got maps of her walks and report cards for each visit. Our dogs were clearly relaxed and well cared for. We’ll def be booking again!

Teresa was an excellent pet sitter for our two dogs. She is warm and responsive. She communicated regularly with photos and texts, followed all directions and anticipated the dogs needs during storms and fireworks. So glad we had her stay and do stop in visits instead of using the kennel. Our house was left as we left it and she watered my plants.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Minnetonka is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $32 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 5,542 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Minnetonka. 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.
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 Minnetonka 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.
To find sitters in Minnetonka with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
