About: I'm 42 years old and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have always loved animals and want to help those in need. I'm very loving, caring and detail oriented. I currently have three amazing pups, they are 11, 5 and 3 years old (miniature pincher and two german shepherds), they have been through training school and are very obedient. My husband and I live alone with our two sons who love dogs. I started sitting through Rover when I was laid off from the tech company I worked for, about a few years ago and I absolutely love it. I am now available for walks and drop ins, 12pm -2pm and 3pm- 12am. I'm glad to answer any questions you have. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! ( I am allergic to certain bulldogs, pit bulls, whippets and greyhounds) I am available from 12-2pm and 3pm - 12am Monday through Friday with the exception of Thursday afternoons which I’d be available from 5pm and onwards. I may occasionally bring my sons, they have grown up around dogs and are very respectful. Update: I am currently only available for walks and drop ins. My yard is fully fenced. Hank is kenneled if I leave the house. I also have two larger kennels and can accommodate kennel trained pups. My dogs will always be kenneled if I leave the house. For sleeping I usually follow what the client prefers but at no time would your dog be left unsupervised with mine. If your dog likes to sleep on the couch at night I will kennel my dogs. We are knowledgeable and aware of foods dogs should and shouldn’t have.
“Victoria was awesome. Arrived on time and kept communication lines open. Teddy loved the drop in visits as well. Would recommend her and would use her again! Thank you for taking care of Teddy for me!”
“Tara was amazing! She sent really comforting messages and photos to me everyday I was on my trip. I could tell my cat got lots of pets and play time to keep her going interaction-wise through the long week I was out of town, something that was super important for her well being and Tara really did a great job on that front! I would definitely trust her with my cat’s care again in the future.”
“Sierra was a great cat sitter for us over a long weekend. She dropped in when requested, fed and checked in on our cats, and maintained great communication during our vacation. She was quick to respond and gave a bit of extra attention to our senior cat. We would highly recommend her and book with her again!”
“Kaitlin is a life saver for our sensitive yet energetic girl, taking extra care to make her feel safe and loved. Kaitlin is one of the few people we trust to care for Pearl. Thank you Kaitlin!”
“Gavin took great care of our dog, Luna, and my brother’s dog, Ike, over the holiday weekend. He was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups and would gladly book with Gavin again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“anyone that comes in and sits on your kitchen floor to get to know your dog has their best interest at heart!!! I'm so excited to have Abby and Marcus help us in giving Bocce the attention and breaks he deserves!”
“Grace has been wonderful with our puppy! She is timely, plays with our pup and provides us with information about each visit. She has been wonderful and has made leaving for puppy for work less stressful.”
About: I have owned pets my entire life. I have had a wide range of different animals of different sizes. I have experience with reactive dogs and training them. I also help with my roommate who fosters dogs. I am a full-time law student, so school is my priority. I go to school in Minneapolis 5 days a week from 8 AM to 3 PM most days. After school, I typically reserve that time for studying, so I would love to be able to spend time with pets while I do that. I currently live with a roommate, so I cannot accommodate pets at my residence. Willing to come to wherever needed and be flexible with scheduling
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds and a wide variety of other animals. I’m excited to meet your pet and provide them everything they need! As a student in wildlife biology I have a fairly flexible schedule. Please contact me about days that are not immediately listed on my profile. Walks, cuddles, feeding, playing, medicating, cleaning up after, and general husbandry/enrichment are just the start of what I can provide for your pets. Please let me know about any particular services you may need!
About: I've shared my life with animals for years, and both of my pets came to me needing a second chance. Andy, my cat, was a stray I took in as a graduate student. He started out wary and skittish, and learning to earn his trust taught me patience and how to read the quiet signals cats give when they're stressed, content, or not feeling well. Stevie, our dog, is a rescue, and helping her settle into a new home showed me how much consistency, gentle routines, and a calm presence matter to a pet adjusting to change. I was raised by a single mom who showed me what steady, attentive care looks like, and I bring that same nurturing energy to every pet I look after. Whether your cat needs a quiet drop-in or your dog needs a good walk, I'll follow your routines closely, keep you updated, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is very flexible! I am happy to work around your schedule and accommodate as best as I can! In my home, pets get a calm, pet-friendly space and plenty of attention. In your home, I stick as closely as possible to your pet's normal routine: the same feeding times, portions, walk schedule, and bedtime habits. I'll make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes are scooped, any medications are given exactly as directed, and doors and windows are secured before I leave. For dogs, that means walks, potty breaks, and playtime; for cats, it means quiet company, play, and a close eye on appetite and litter habits, since those are often the first signs something's off. Either way, I'll send photos and updates after every visit so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. If anything seems unusual, I'll contact you right away and won't hesitate to get vet care if it's needed.
About: I have owned and taken care of cats, dogs, and also rats. Have experienced a range of their life stages including sickness and old age. I am very flexible and available for any needed time. I can visit anytime that is required and do anything needed for your pets and their care I have a fenced in back yard and live by several parks and trails. I live in a low traffic area, and any other people in my home would be accosted to animals
About: I grew up with dogs - hunting dogs bred by small family business - and have always had dogs. We have resident dogs, we foster, and we board and do drop in visits. We just love these canines. Positive reinforcement, only. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule over the mid day, in particular, for drop ins. Overnight boarding pups just become part of everything we do, as a family and with our own dogs. We regularly foster so our dogs are very used to other dogs in the home. We have a large fenced yard, we live in the woods, and we have dog parks nearby, also, if your canine is a dog park kiddo.
“We were so thankful that Lacie was able to help us out with a drop in on very short notice. The dogs were happy and house was just as we left it. We got some super cute photos of the pups too!!”
About: Hi, my name is Mark. I love meeting people's pets of all kinds. I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I also have a master's degree in behavioral science. My combination of lived experience and knowledge of behavioral science uniquely equips me to care for your animals in a kind and gentle manner, while still being responsible and reliable. These skills prepare me to help relax and de-escalate with anxious animals. I have a job which is flexible with my schedule, including working from home and choosing my own hours, which allows me more time with pets! I have a back yard with a fence that my senior dog can play in, as well as many parks nearby my home in Roseville.
About: Introduction Hi! My name is Lori and I LOVE ALL ANIMALS! I am recently retired and I always said that when I had time, I'd spend my days helping animals, however possible. I am so excited to finally be in a place where I can make that happen! If you would help me get my new focus started, I'll offer you a $20 discount and I will treat your pet like family! I’m an experienced pet caregiver with over 40 years of hands-on time caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, and a genuine passion for ensuring pets feel happy and at home while their families are away. I have a special spot in my heart for senior dogs and cats but I also love puppies and kittens, and everything in between! I've cared for my own dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, and birds for over 40 years, so I understand the daily routines, quirks, and needs of all kinds of companions. I'm especially attuned to dogs and cats—I read their body language exceptionally well and know what they're "saying. "For example, a slow blink from a cat is their way of saying "I love you," while a soft "mee mee" often means "come here." With dogs, I always approach respectfully: letting them sniff my open palm first (never reaching over their head, as it can feel dominant), then gently petting the shoulder and down the side. Energy matters so much—staying calm, happy, and positive helps even anxious pets relax quickly. I have a whole "warehouse" of these insights from years of close observation, and I love using them to build trust and joy. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely excited to care for your pets as if they were my own. I'll play with them, give plenty of love and cuddles, follow your instructions to a T, and make sure they feel at home. Being away from your furry family is tough—I get it, and I'll do my best to keep things feeling normal and happy for them (and send you lots of updates and pictures so you can see for yourself!). I can provide most of the same loving care as other sitters—feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, toy fun, and house check-ins—but due to some mobility limits, I focus on shorter, gentle walks (up to about 15 minutes) or indoor/outdoor potty time and enrichment instead of longer neighborhood strolls. This works wonderfully for calmer dogs, seniors, smaller breeds, or cats who prefer cozy companionship. I'm happy to adapt to your pet's energy level and needs! I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! What I'll need from you Age, personality/behavior, feeding routine and amounts, typical daily schedule, house rules, any favorite toys/treats, if they can have people food, medical needs, and anything else that helps me care for them just the way you do. No strong breed preferences—I'm happy with all! Let's Get Started! Availability I'm generally flexible and can arrange visits to fit your pet's schedule—morning, midday, evening, and bedtime routines. I can do drop-in visits, overnight sitting (if selected), or daily check-ins to ensure they're fed, pottied, loved, and happy throughout the day. A typical day We'll start with feeding, fresh water, and a gentle potty break or short walk if your pet enjoys it. Then lots of playtime with toys, gentle petting and interaction based on their cues, maybe some training games or just relaxing together. I'll refill water as needed, clean up any messes, and give plenty of love and attention. Everything will be done with your preferences in mind, plus updates and photos for you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in North Oaks is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $24 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 October 2026, there are 5,676 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across North Oaks. 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 .
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.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
