He even offered sights to see in our RV travels as we left! We will definitely book with him if we come through town again. Don’t miss your chance to have Phil care for your furry friend. He’s a gem!”
About: I've had dogs in my family since I was 10 years old - from raising puppies to being there in their final years, across purebreds and rescues. These days, my own dog Rory, a 9-year-old Boxer/Pug mix, keeps my home happy. Your dog will get that same loving care, because that's genuinely how I see every dog in my house. I am home most of the day every day. My dog Rory and I walk everyday unless the weather is not good. I have a fenced yard and she goes in and out when she asks. I am available to feed and let out for potty breaks on your dog's schedule. I have a fenced yard and my own dog Rory to keep yours company. I can crate your dog if needed. I have medium and extra large sized crates I can provide so you don't have to transport yours if you don't want to.
“Fantastic. I had very short notice and Jessica and her husband were super accommodating. Alpine must have had a great time. He wore himself out playing with the other pups! Thanks a million. As a first time Rover user, this was an excellent experience.”
“Sarah is fantastic! Gracie has so much fun with her and her dogs. Sarah is patient, caring, and takes wonderful care of Gracie. She sends regular updates and the cutest pictures. I am so happy we found her and can’t wait to continue to have her care for Gracie!”
About: Hi! My name is Allie and I've spent most of my life loving and caring for pets in multiple different environments over the years. I grew up with a bushel of miniature schnauzers, a few rodents and a snake. In college I took in a feral barn kitten and made her the talk of the university! After college, I spent 5-6 years working in a dog daycare facility which gave me experience with all different breeds and an immense amount of knowledge on behavior. After doggy daycare I moved on to working in a veterinary hospital which was an incredible resource and opportunity for me to increase me knowledge on medications as well as other medical knowledge. I would love to have the opportunity to spoil your pet as well as give you a safe space to leave your furry friend! Over the summer I am out of work and home with my pups and kids. In late August I will be headed back to work at a school nearby but working relatively short hours. We love to go on walks, to the dog park, the human park or just lounge in the back yard. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a large back yard. It is not fenced in but I do have a long line. I have a 12 year old pup who is a calm, unbothered queen and a year old pup who loves everyone and everything. In addition, I have 2 kiddos that are incredibly respectful of other pets space and will love your pets as much as their own however they can be crated if needed 😉
About: We have years of experience with various animals from rabbits, chickens, cats and dogs. Our 3 year old lab mix, Casey, has taught us a lot in training and she loves meeting dog friends! I work part time, and my husband works from home, so there is ample time available to care for pets in our schedule, including daily walks and working with your dog's routines. We have a fenced backyard and great neighborhood in which to take walks. Our lab mix, Casey, loves to have dog friends to play with. We have a crate available if your dog prefers some alone space. We also have kids aged 8-17 and two adults who can offer plenty of attention and snuggles if your dog prefers human friends.
“I am watching my rescue dog, a 15 years old, become more open and friendlier with other dogs in the neighborhood, along with just being less scared of people in general. Love the service I have been receiving.”
“I want to thank Tristan and her family for watching Marlowe for us. Marlowe was a happy puppy when we picked her up! When she is happy and wagging her tail, I know she's had a positive experience. If we are ever in the cities again and need a sitter I will not hesitate to use Tristan again! Plus, she watched her late into the evening for us because we were going to a concert!!”
“Rachel did a great job with our dog! She was very responsive and flexible. Daisy was so excited to see her on our second visit and gave her tons of kisses. Highly recommend!”
About: I've taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I can help with basic training and manners, as well as lots of "walkies" and couch time! Whatever your fur baby prefers, they will be loved by my family and I. I currently work from home, so I am available to your babies 'round the clock. If they need to be let out at specific times or take timely medications, I am available for that as well! I have a fenced yard with a very friendly male, beagle mix to keep your dogs company. I can also crate or separate easily if necessary! I can come to take them for a walk or let them out, no matter the Minnesota weather! I can provide pictures/videos, and updates as often as you'd like. They will be loved by family and I, and treated like one of our pack!
“Tofte is always so happy to get to Bethany's. Sometimes he isn't sure if he is ready to leave at the end of the day which is a great sign. On nice days like today, spending time exploring and playing in Bethany's fenced in back yard is a treat!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Saint Paul
Phillip’s willingness to care for our Dog Wilbur for a 14hr day while we attended my daughter‘s wedding, decreased the overall stress of the day! He was super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and understood the importance of the day. It was helpful to receive brief updates and a couple of photos throughout the day. You are amazing Phillip! Thank you so much!!
Their family is so caring! They send great pics! Their daughter might read to your dog. They’ve taken my dog on a walk to the bus stop, during one visit. They have a fenced yard. I appreciate that they make sure that your dog goes out to the bathroom before your pick up time. I appreciate their care!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your North Saint Paul commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,673 sitters in North Saint Paul, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
