About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine care for pets. I understand that dogs are part of the family, and they deserve plenty of attention, love, and proper care. I treat every pet with the same kindness, respect, and affection that I would give my own. I’ve grown up around a wide variety of dogs, from tiny breeds to giant breeds, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Because I love animals so much, I also understand how difficult it can be to trust someone else with both your home and a beloved family member. That’s why I make it my priority to put both the homeowner’s and the dog’s needs first. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being treated with the highest level of care while you’re away. I am currently available most days of the week and have a very flexible schedule. While my availability may change slightly as the summer progresses, I will always communicate any scheduling updates in advance. At the moment, I am generally available Monday through Sunday and can accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and maintaining the pet’s normal routine. I make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and any care instructions are followed exactly as provided by the owner. I am knowledgeable about dog safety and always stay alert during walks. If I notice a potential issue, such as an aggressive or uncontrolled dog nearby, I am quick to create distance and avoid situations that could lead to conflict. I pay close attention to my surroundings and make decisions with the dog’s safety in mind at all times. I also understand that every dog is different, so I adapt my care to their personality, energy level, and needs. My goal is to help them feel comfortable and secure while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is being cared for responsibly and attentively.
About: I have experience with all types of cats, dogs and small animals. I have had pets since I was a child and love them dearly. I work full time Monday- Friday but my job is flexible. I am able to walk your pet before or after work and on the weekends. If you have a small animals or cats, I can make daily drop ins or work woth you and your pets needs. I cannot watch your pets at my home because I live in an apartment. But I am willing to drop in at your home for walks or care. I can send updates and pictures of your pets and provide daily updates on how they are doing.
“Katelyn has been great helping me out with my dog, Jaxx. She’s reliable, caring, and always makes the process easy for me. Even on short notice, she’s been available and willing to help, which I really appreciate. It gives me peace of mind knowing Jaxx is in good hands. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable dog sitter or walker.”
“Jessica has been fantastic and was a great fit for my dog. I needed her for about a month and each day went very smoothly. I would highly recommend her to anyone using Rover.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life and bring me so much joy. I’m the type of person who will stop what I’m doing to ask if I can say hi to a dog. Growing up, my mom had a pug/cocker spaniel mix named Samsung, and when I was in college, my dad got a 120-pound Rottweiler/Black Lab mix named Moosey, who quickly became my best buddy. Sadly, he passed away from cancer about a year ago. My dad now has a British Black Lab named Sasha, who has become my new best friend. I regularly stop by to take her on walks, play with her, and make sure she gets plenty of attention while my dad is working. Caring for dogs has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I'm currently working full time as a Marketing Lead on the Marketplace Ads team at Best Buy. However, I work from home on Friday, so i'm available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I live in a newly built apartment complex with a fenced-in dog area and plenty of walking trails nearby. Dogs are welcome on my furniture.
“Sonia was AMAZING! Our cats are usually a little scared of new people but after the second visit, they both came out to get pets from her. Sonia was very communicative, kind, and really loves animals. I recommend her to any cat owners, and I will definitely use her services again. 10/10”
“I have had Tanya take care of my kitties a few times now and she is absolutely wonderful with them!! They are well taken care of and seem very happy when I return. She is reliable and timely with her visits. Her communications are the best, and I love getting the photos and updates of how they are doing. I am very happy with her services!!”
About: As a dog lover and proud pet parent, I know how important it is for pups to feel loved, safe, and active. I enjoy going for runs and would be happy to take energetic dogs along for exercise and fun. With my background as a CNA, caring for others is second nature to me and that compassion extends wholeheartedly to animals. Helping pets feel happy, healthy, and loved is truly my joy. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to focus on your pets. I love staying active, so your energetic pups can enjoy long walks or even runs with me to burn off that happy energy. I treat every pet like family by following their routine, prioritizing their safety, and providing plenty of attention, exercise, and photo updates while you’re away.
About: I grew up raising cattle, goats, and horses. I have had pet dogs, cats, and fish all my life. I was a vet tech in my early twenties, and a milk goat and chicken owner in my thirties. My family and I currently live with and care for a dog, cats, and an indoor rabbit. I went through the AKC good citizen training with our current dog, and use only positive behavior strategies. I love all animals, and love to house sit and pet sit for friends and family. I am a substitute teacher and currently have the time to pet and house sit for more families in order to make extra income for my kids’ college fund. I am also a master gardener and love caring for plants as well as pets! I am a substitute teacher, so I have an open schedule during the summer, weekends, and holidays. I am able to give your pet the time and attention it deserves. I treat my pets as important and treasured members of the family. I promise to treat your pets the same as I treat mine. I take pet sitting very seriously, and will do my very best to make sure your family member is getting lots of love and attention and living its best life while you are away. I know I would want the same in a pet sitter!
About: Lifelong pet owner and current dog handler at a doggy daycare/boarding facility looking to meet your pups (and kitties!) and help meet their standards of care! Expirence with many (and I mean a lot!) of breeds, and expirence with human/dog/food/leash reactive dogs of all types and temperments! Im a full time doggy daycare worker and a full time student in psychology but i have a lot of free time and love meeting and helping out with new pets! Saftey, trust, enviorment, and care for me is a top priority. I love befriending pups and making sure I can make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible!
About: I love dogs, no matter the size, age, or breed, I am determined to be your dogs new best friend! I've been dog sitting for a few years now, originally just within my neighborhood, I started Rover as a summer job last year, but I fell in love with it and decided to continue. I've always loved animals, so getting to spend time with your beloved pets is such a privilege! I am currently a college student, but I do online classes so the majority of my time is devoted to dogs. I am committed to providing personalized, and loving care around the clock. While your pets are here, I try to maintain their home schedules as much as possible, for example, if they eat at a certain time At home, that's the time they'll eat here. I've noticed that it helps ease the transition between my home and yours. To them, my home is just an extension of their home. I also have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and dogs who may be recovering from illnesses or surgeries. I can administer oral or topical medications and provide cpr if it were ever necessary. If your dog has specific or specialized needs, please let me know and I will ensure I work with you and them to provide the best care possible. My schedule completely revolves around the dogs. I am a college student, so occasionally school endeavors can interfere with pick-up or drop-off times, but for the most part, I can fully adjust my schedule to the needs of you and your dog. You are always free to adjust pick-up and drop-off times with no extra charge, just send me a message and we'll work out the best time for you. I do not charge in situations such as a missed flight, illness, or other unforseen circumstances that may require your dog to be in my care for a little longer. My main goal is to always treat your dogs like my own! Everyday I ensure your dogs are loved, and I try to spend as much time with them as possible. I have a large fenced in yard where your dog can run and play, I try to spend as much time outside as possible. If your dog is social, my dogs love to play and socialize with yours. I have a Golden Retriever and a Havapoo, they're both neutered and very friendly. Rex my golden is very gentle and plays well with smaller dogs. If your dogs prefer to be on their own, I can do staggered outside time and keep them completely separate, no problem! Feedings always take place in kennels or separate rooms, so dogs are always separated for that.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Brighton
PingPing was great! I booked a drop in visit for my dogs as I was going to be away when they needed dinner and medications. She let me know when she arrived, what she did, and sent plenty of pictures which I appreciate. She played with them as well, so they were happy and tired when I got home which is so nice. She was friendly, and communicative, thank you!
Reyhan was exceptionally attentive to our dog and we couldn’t be happier with the level of care they provided. They went above and beyond with communication, were highly attentive to detail, and sent so many cute pictures! We felt very confident with Arthur in their hands, and would absolutely recommend them.

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 New Brighton 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.

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.
