âPatricia (Trish) was so great to work with! Communication was excellent and consistent and it was evident how much she adored our fur babies from the notes and photos she sent. We were out of the country and felt so at ease that our kitties were in her hands. We will 100% book with Trish again!!â

âThank you again, Emma, for coming back a second time that day to spend some extra time with our princess Leia! 𼰠This visit was perfect for her â lots of couch time, belly rubs, and chewing on her Benebone. Leia only really settles in and chews her Benebone when she feels happy, safe, and comfortable with someone, so seeing her do that with Emma meant a lot to us. Itâs clear she really enjoyed her time together! Weâre incredibly grateful for Emmaâs care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will give their pet lots of love and attention. â¤ď¸â

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, from quick drop-in visits and playtime to extended stays with overnight pet sitting. I grew up with my parentsâ dogs and have always had a love for animals. I spent two weeks in California caring for a Golden Retriever. I have experience with multiple overnight stays, caring for 1â5 pets at a time. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I make sure they receive plenty of love and care. Iâm reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while providing updates and peace of mind while youâre away! I work from home so am available to work from anywhere. I love going on walks and can easily make that a part of a routine while caring for your animals. I am able to come over and watch your pets! I am used to various environments while pet-sitting. I am also available for walks and check-ins to make sure your pets feel taken care of.
âKayla is our cat sitter, and she did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Larry. Larry loved having Kayla visit him. She communicated with us after each visit. We definitely recommend her to others.â

âKate is Great! We loved getting photos each day. When we got home the house was great and the cats were happy! Would not hesitate to reach out to Kate again. Thanks Kate!!â


About: Iâm a passionate (professionally trained) dog trainer with over four years of experience at one of the currently top rated and award winning doggie day cares, boarding and training facility in the metro area! My passion has taken me through professional boarding facilities and various sized playrooms, where Iâve learned the ins and outs of doggy behavior from playful pups, ones that are a little more on the spicy side, to the more reserved ones. what I truly love is helping pups thrive. I have been trained to use various tools if needed for your pup such as properly fitting a harness, a prong collar, and more. I will happily collaborate with you to create a perfect care plan including enrichment, walks, play time, brain games and structure. I have been successfully training dogs for 11 years with the past 4 being in a professional setting. Iâm all about clarity, transparency and open communication. My current position at my full time job is the lead trainer and manager of a smaller group daycare for reactive pups of various degrees and pups that need structure. Iâm fine with behavioral issues such as resource guarding, reactivity ect as long as itâs disclosed first. I also have a senior GSD at home so I know how to provide compassionate care for our sugar faced friends! Iâm always open for questions or comments and I send LOTS of pictures! I require a meet and greet before booking any services (unless itâs a last minute drop in or dog walk) I work full time as a dog trainer but I always make time to train and work my own dogs as well as being able to care for others pets. We can discuss your ideal schedule and figure out together the perfect plan. Iâm available most evenings and weekends. I have a fully fenced yard, long lines and a couple favorite parks! I will always be transparent with pet parents about expectations with their pets. What I would do with a senior pup is different than a young dog. Iâm happy to provide my companionship and love for dogs who would rather snuggle and just be around people or play lots of fetch and do lots of brain games for dogs who need that. Usually itâs a mix between the two, some play, lots of love.
About: I grew up with a dog in my family and I'm very comfortable with all aspects of their care; whether it be routine feeding, medicine administration, exercise, etc. During college, I missed having animals around and volunteered at Homeward Animal Shelter to help walk dogs. It gave me a lot of experience with different breeds and personalities. I currently live in hopkins with my husband and 5 yo great dane. We have access to great walking trails and take her on walks often. I understand the importance of exercise, routine, and kindness when handling dogs and am always excited to meet a new furry friend. I currently work from home 8-5 Monday through Friday. My weekends are free and I spend them at home with my 5yo great dane and husband. We try to take her for morning and evening walks daily. I have a fenced in yard at my house and am close to a bike trail that is near multiple parks. I like to go for walks and hikes near my house. I also have a car with a dog sling in my back seat to travel to other parks and areas for exercise.
About: Hello! My name is Steph and I have been caring for animals my whole life. I would love to meet your pets and give you one less thing to worry about while youâre away. I have had dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, geckos, bearded dragons and a tarantula. I am experienced with animals that have special needs and sigh administering medications. I work from home most days and my schedule is flexible. I also have a list of trusted back-up pet sitters that are able to fill in if your needs donât align perfectly with my availability. I am happy to provide drop-in or stay-in care for your animals. Your pets will be cared for just as you would. They will get the love and attention that they deserve.
About: I believe every dog has their own personality, needs, and quirks, and I love taking the time to get to know them! As a dog mom to Harlo, my Pomsky, I understand how important it is to find someone who treats your pup like family. I'm patient, attentive, and detail-oriented, whether that means keeping up with energetic pups, enjoying slower walks with senior dogs, or giving extra attention to dogs who need a little time to warm up. I work full-time but work from home most days of the week, which gives me flexibility to fit in dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. Pet care is a fun part of my weekly routine, and I enjoy taking breaks to get outside, stay active, and spend time with dogs! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and playtime schedules, make sure they have fresh water, and give them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship.
About: My family and I have always had pets around, from dogs and cats to hamsters, bunnies and birds, therefore, I have experience in all the care that our furry friends need. Experienced in feeding, cleaning, brushing, washing, walking, medicating, playing, and most important of all, petting. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or just having someone check in and spend time with them, I'm happy to adjust to their needs and routine. Every pet is different, so I focus on following their normal routine and making them feel as comfortable as possible. I make sure they're fed, exercised, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention based on their personality and needs. Safety is always a priority, and I'll follow any instructions you provide to ensure your pet is happy and well cared for. I'll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
âSamantha has been taking care of this little fur family in various forms for a couple years now. I always feel confident that she is making sure they are getting what is needed and all the snuggles. Thank you!â

About: I have been a dog / cat sitter for my friends, family and neighbors since I was 13. My family had both dogs and cats in the house when I was growing up. I love spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I especially enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them outside to help expend their energy. I currently work from home in a corporate position. I have plenty of free time and would love to spend some of it taking care of animals. Typically, I am staying over at the clientâs home for the duration of their trip / vacation. The client will often have me over to their home prior to their departure to meet the animal(s) and go over their needs and any other special requests they may have. It is very important to me that the client feels safe entrusting me to stay in their home and take care of their pets.

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. Weâll 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 Pet Sitting in Minnetonka is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 petâs 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 5,762 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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 petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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.

- 87% 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.
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
