“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!”

“I was very pleased with Jill! It is obvious that she really cares about the animals. I loved that she took time at the introduction meeting to connect with the cats. She made sure I felt comfortable leaving them in her care and that she would follow instructions. Her pictures of my kitties made me laugh and made me feel less anxious about leaving them. I adored her! I highly recommend Jill! Susan N”

“Chelsea is awesome! Very caring with our wild puppy. She is super attentive and noticed small and big changes- we had a couple of concerning days/issues and was super quick to notify us and wait for our responses. Definitely recommend!”

About: I've had lots of experience with a wide variety of dogs from family pets to working with Wag! I have a 8 month old German Shepard/Lab, Opal, so I am comfortable with puppies and high energy breeds. I also have experience caring for senior animals. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I am mostly available for weekend care but can do walks & check ins during the week if I bring my youngest with me. I am open to boarding and other care during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard for lots of fetch & play time. We love walks & hiking so lots of opportunities for exercise, fun & bonding with the dogs. I also have experience with crating if that is necessary.
“Michelle was a great first sitter to have as an introduction to Rover! She was communicative and shared lots of pictures, and kept our sweet boy from getting lonely and sad!”


About: Caring for pets has been a part of my life for a long time, through both pets of our own and foster pets! We’ve been fostering for the past decade and have cared for over 30 dogs and cats. I have experience with dogs with all kinds of personalities, including shy, anxious, and reactive. My favorite thing about animals is they all have their own personalities, and I love learning about who they are! My approach is to meet pets where they’re at and let them set the pace for our interactions, especially those who need a little extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. Senior dogs have an especially big place in my heart, as we have two of our own, and I’m very comfortable with the extra patience and care older pups sometimes need. I’ve also fostered and spent time with dogs of many breeds, sizes, and personalities, including bully breeds which are always welcome! I work a hybrid schedule, and will spend most of my day with your pet. When I leave, it will generally be no longer than about 4 hours at a time, whether for work or to see my own pets and family. If I expect I’ll need to be gone longer than this at any point during the stay, I’ll let you know before booking! I will treat your home as a guest in it; I’m tidy and will clean up after me and your pets! What is helpful for me to know is what your pet’s typical day looks like, if they have any favorite or important parts to their routine, and ways they like to get stimulation (walk, play, puzzles). Where do they sleep? As much information as you can tell me about your pet is better so I can keep things as normal for them as possible!
“Let my boy Odie out and fed him when I had some early and long mornings at work! Great communication and able to accommodate an early drop in time. Will definitely book with her again!”

About: I grew up with a lot of pets. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, and for the last 3 years I've been doing pet care along with child care for a well respected small company in Northern MN. I love working with animals and I'm very good at taking care of them, whether that's short term, long term, or just for a day. I'm currently not working outside of pet sitting, and I try to be very active so daily walks are a must have along with trips to the park and indoor play time. I keep a consistent sleep schedule so I can easily cater to the schedule of your animals. I live in a townhouse community near a lake with a walking trail and a large open field perfect for longer walks with the pups! When I'm in a clients home, I will communicate with you first to learn if you have a schedule for the pets you'd like me to follow. Then I will make sure their needs are met and have plenty of play time in and outside so they get their exercise in between naps and cuddles.
“Joel provided an amazing drop-in service for us twice daily for 6 days for our 4 senior Dachshunds. He communicated with us each time he stopped by and sent pictures of the pups eating, getting some outdoor play time and settling down for naps until his next visit. They truly bonded with him because he gave them the kind of attention they crave—food, belly rubs and back scratches. One of the pups is blind and he helped her up and down the steps to walk in the grass. We could enjoy our trip knowing our pups were getting great care and attention while their needs were being met. Very satisfied with the job Joel did for us!!”

“Celia has done an amazing job watching my cat Thelma when I am out of town. She always leaves prompt updates, responds quickly to any notes or questions and takes the best pictures of Thelma which are always a treat to see when I am away.”

“Mandy was excellent with my two kitties! They were well fed, well brushed, and well taken care of the whole time we were away for the holiday! I loved the daily pictures of Mandy having play time with the kitties. Would most definitely hire her again.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have spent years caring for dogs both personally and professionally. I have my own dog and am very comfortable handling all the day to day responsibilities that come with pet care, from walks and playtime to feeding, medications, and overnight stays. Over the years I’ve also cared for many other pets through walks, drop in visits, and house sitting. I currently have multiple long term clients that I’ve worked with for over two years, and I take a lot of pride in being someone both pets and their owners can trust and rely on. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, extra playtime, or just wants a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I work part time and have a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits into my day pretty naturally. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop ins, and overnight care, and I don’t mind adjusting my schedule to make sure pets get the attention and consistency they need. I’m very attentive and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so they get a lot of love and attention while they’re in my care. I like to make sure we can get out all their energy during the day to help relieve any anxiety they have without their family and feel safe with me! I know every pet and owner has different preferences, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever works best for you. Just let me know your pet’s routine and your expectations, and I’ll do my best to care for them the way you would.
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 2 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 loved 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.
About: I grew up around dogs on a ranch and have cared for them throughout every stage of their lives, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. That experience taught me that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medication, preparing special diets, and providing extra care for senior dogs or those with special needs. My goal is to keep your dog's routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I also believe every dog deserves quality time, not just a quick visit. Whether your dog enjoys playing with toys, going for a walk, getting lots of pets, or simply having someone sit with them for companionship, I'll make sure they receive the attention and affection they need. With puppies, I'm happy to reinforce basic routines and good manners that you're already working on, such as waiting politely at mealtime, practicing calm greetings, and encouraging positive everyday behaviors. While I'm not a professional trainer, I'm always happy to help maintain the routines you've established. Every dog is unique, and I care for each one with patience, kindness, and respect. I'll also send photo updates so you can see how your dog is doing and enjoy a few happy moments while you're away. Your pet's comfort, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for pets throughout the day. This flexibility means I can spend quality time with each pet, keep up with their routines, and make sure they receive the attention, playtime, and care they need while their family is away. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I prioritize following each owner's instructions and keeping their normal routine as comfortable as possible. I treat every client's home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I understand that inviting someone into your home is a big responsibility, and I take that trust seriously. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and maintain your pet's normal routine as much as possible. I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable environment while receiving the attention, companionship, and care they need. My goal is to leave your home clean, cared for, and your pets happy and comfortable. I believe great pet care means taking care of both the animal and the space they call home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Saint Paul
Bethany once again was absolutely amazing! I have such peace of mind knowing she will be looking after our babies. She is attentive, responsive, and always willing to help with extra things like watering plants, collecting mail, and just all the little things I wouldn’t even think to ask about. She truly goes above and beyond, and she will always be my go-to!

Gaolah was wonderful. She did a meet and greet without hesitation. I have a 15 year old dog that can’t stay in her crate for extended time so Faolah came two different times and let her out to potty stretch her legs get a drink and some food. She communicated well, did as I asked, good with Crickett. I will cerise her again!

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! 🐾

Kathleen did a wonderful job caring for my two dogs. She gave them plenty of love and attention, followed all instructions carefully, arrived on time, and spent the appropriate amount of time with them. I felt confident they were in great hands and would happily recommend her.

Kirsten did a wonderful job of 3 home visits! We had never done this before with our dogs. Our 6 year old is a little skittish but she went potty and finally ate for Kirsten. Our one year old white Shepard loved the attention and walk! We came home to 2 pretty calm puppies! We would definitely recommend her. Sent pictures at every visit with updates.

They looked to have been well fed and happy when I got home. I always appreciate your willingness to communicate essentials so that important detail doesn’t get missed and that you were not put off by the snow. I am sure they loved your stories and I am grateful that someone they know and trust attends to them. Maturity and experience mean everything.

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.
