“I know it's my third review for Ron, but I have to do it! We just came back from a 13 day trip and he visited our cat twice a day to give her pets, love, playtime, meds and more. Great communication, even better pictures. She's very calm after a long time away from us and I know it's because of the attention Ron pays to her when we aren't here!”
“Macy was awesome. My usually shy cats warmed up to her and she sent pictures every day. Their food and water were full when I got home. She even brought my mail and an Amazon package in for me. Would definitely hire again. Thanks, Macy!!”
“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!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! I treat my dog as my child and he loves playmates. I have been a foster with Cocos Heart Dog Rescue for over four years, where I have provided a home for shy, breeder release dogs, and within days, we have become best friends. I am a go to for watching my friends and neighbors dogs. I love everything from play time with young puppies, and the sweet cuddles with senior dogs. I work fully remote, so pets get frequent attention, play time, and walks. My dog gets fed once in the morning and one at night, but I am flexible with feeding schedules and keep dogs separate during feeding time. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I strive to create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where every dog can feel at home. I understand that being in a new space can feel overwhelming, so I always give new dogs plenty of time to sniff, explore, and get comfortable at their own pace without feeling rushed. I have a friendly, confident dog of my own, and I take introductions seriously. When a new dog arrives, I keep my dog in a separate area so the new pup can explore and settle in independently before they meet. I believe in slow, supervised introductions and always pay attention to each dog’s body language and comfort level. I also take precautions to keep my home pet-friendly, prevent access to potential hazards, and ensure dogs have their own space to relax. I want every pup in my care to feel safe, loved, and right at home, with plenty of attention, patience, and affection.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 8 or 9, mostly family dogs to start. I have also house sat for not only family dogs but friends as well. I work at a doggie daycare facility currently, so I am familiar with dog behaviors and care. I currently work full-time in evenings, so that gives plenty of morning time for walks and cuddles. I am available for both boarding and daily care most of my week and always try to be flexible with clients. I love to have animals be as comfortable as they can be in their owners home, whatever that might look like. My goal is to make the clients and dogs as comfortable as possibly while building trust and good relationship.
“Kari saved me from worrying about my puppy during two long work days. She stopped by for two half hour visits each day sending me photos upon arrival and during playtime. I was able to stay focused on my work knowing Kari was taking care of Milla.”
“Jeffery was wonderful watching my 2 cats while I was away. It was wonderful to receive pictures of them playing. Even my shy cat who hides from other sitters came out for Jeffery.”
“Jeremiah took great care of our cat while we were out of town and communicated with us frequently. He was really responsive, plus our cat warmed up to him by the 2nd day of Jeremiah's visits. Jeremiah sent multiple photos and videos each day (and even helped water my plants). Would definitely recommend and book again!”
About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.
About: I had a few dogs growing up (a cairn terrior and a yellow lab) and have been dog sitting for the last 6 years off and on from anywhere from a few hours up to 3 months. I work from home Mondays and Thursdays and have a typical 8-430 schedule. My significant other, Jake, has a flexible schedule as well for drop off/pick up times. While working from home I am available to take doggos on walks/runs and play! For days that I am in the office, I am able to run home on lunch for potty breaks if the doggo needs! I have a house with a large yard. While it is not fenced in, there is plenty of room to run and play on our 30 ft cable. I have a 12 year old son who loves to play with and love on doggies. I live near a lake and a park with a swimming beach if your doggo likes swimming! (I am more than happy to gives baths as well) I will also take lots of photos and have open communication so that owners can know their furbabies are having fun and in good hands!
About: I know what it’s like to have to leave your pets in someone’s cares, it’s never easy but you can feel safe, secure, and satisfied to know that I provide the reassurance you need while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I look forward to the opportunity to get to know your fur babies! Service Areas: East Saint Paul and Surrounding Areas I am looking to care for pets everyday of the week! I do like to meet the animals prior to committing to care for them, to make sure we are a good fit. Please factor this in when booking. Fenced in yard, very calm, quiet single family home. Great place to cuddle or play in the yard. The neighbor hood is nice for going on walks too!
About: I have experience with many different breeds of cats and dogs I also know rabbits and reptiles. Connecting with animals is a passion of mine. I own a part-time massage business and play music professionally. I am looking to expand/transition into pet care as I do care for others pets. I own a very energetic German Shepard Husky mix and have fun striving to meet his needs. I also have a Lionhead Rabbit and gecko.
About: Hi! I’m Becky, a lifelong dog lover who knows that every pup deserves attention, exercise, and love while their people are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cozy snuggles, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for—just like they’re my own. I’m reliable, patient, and can adapt to any dog’s personality! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I’m currently not working and have a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time each day to give dogs my full attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Caring for animals brings me joy, so I love being able to dedicate my time to it. I treat every client’s home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow your directions closely for feeding, walks, and routines to make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I always clean up after the pets, lock up properly, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing everything’s going smoothly.
“Tim was outstanding!! He was on time, had exceptional communication, and made sure to give my guy the extra love and attention he deserves!! I will exclusively be using him for any future services that I book!! 10/10!”
“Samantha replied to all my messages in a timely manner. She did a great job feeding my cat and was careful about covering the items I left to do. Would definitely use her again.”

Victoria has been absolutely wonderful with my two large dogs! I was a little worried about one of them warming up to Victoria because she (the dog) can be pretty standoffish and VERY weary of strangers. By the end of the week, though, my girl was actually whining when she had to wait her turn! I don't know if she was crying for Victoria or because she wanted her turn to go outside, but honestly, I don't even care which one it was. I'm just so happy she was excited enough to whine about it! ❤️ Victoria is always on time, pays attention to the little things like making sure I know when she is arriving and when she's leaving, and follows the requests I've made. I couldn't take care of my dogs myself after having surgery on my ankle. The surgery itself was stressful, but knowing she was there to take such good care of my dogs took a huge weight off my mind. It allows me to focus on my recovery without feeling like I need to worry about my fur babies. I'm so grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog walker!
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.
Rylan did a great job with our dog. We had one issue with our schedules where our dog went for a long time over night and into the late morning. Rylan had another booking early that day I didn’t know about, so our dog went too long without being let out to pee. So from then on we moved around our drop in times and worked that out, Rylan was awesome. She came on time from that point on and I knew my pup was in good hands having fun with her. Thank you Rylan!

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 North Saint Paul 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 .
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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
