About: My first dog sitting job was when I was in freshman year of high school, roughly six years ago. My piano instructor was going to be out of town and had asked me to care for her dogs named Joey & Monica. Ever since I have dog sat a couple dogs from different families. I also have two dogs of my own. I take very good care of my dogs, they are my best friends. I provide food and water, and meals on times. Taking dogs out on a walk or to the dog park. I can administer medication - my dogs are frequent vet visitors. I can provide grooming as well and following owner instructions, and providing companionship. I’m currently a part time worker at Costco, and self-employed as well with teaching piano in my home a couple hours a week, as well as some college classes in the morning and afternoon during fall and spring. I post plenty of fun pictures with the dogs I watch so feel free to give me a follow! I have two dogs of my own, a very sassy and bossy Pomeranian, and a chunky very demanding Corgi. My dogs are my everything. I feed them two times a day, typically between 8-9 am for breakfast and 5-6 pm for dinner. My pomeranian is a very picky eater so I have to feed him with my hands but sometimes he’ll eat on his own, my corgi on the other hand LOVES food. I potty my dogs every 1-3 hours. We love going to the dog park. Sometimes we go on walks around the neighborhood too. Since it’s very muddy outside I also bathe them everyday after the dog park. I brush their teeth and clean their ears every two days. Sometimes when nobody’s going to be home, we keep them in a big playpen area so they don’t wander around and chew on stuff they shouldn’t be, but that is only for when we aren’t home but other wise they run around in the house. They are also crate trained as well.

About: I’ve been caring for my own pets and helping others with theirs for over 8 years. I grew up with a Border Collie, a cat, and two guinea pigs, and they have became some of my best friends. Being around animals has always been so fun, and I’ve often been the go-to person in my neighborhood when families needed someone to care for their pets while traveling or working late. I’m friendly, energetic, and love keeping up with furry friends of all kinds! Whether it’s walking, playing, feeding, cuddling, or just making sure your pet feels safe and happy, I’ll treat them like part of my own family. I’m also happy to help with small household tasks like bringing in the mail or watering plants while you’re away. I have my own reliable transportation, take responsibility seriously, and always aim to provide the very best care for both you and your pet. I currently work at a school 7:30-3:30pm. I would have time before or after work to take care of your furry friend! I would also have availability on weekends too. Safety is of upmost importance for me and your pet. On walks, I always make sure your pup has a leash or a harness and I always keep them at a safe distance from incoming traffic or other people. At home, I always make sure the doors are closed and the gates are locked to prevent any pets from getting out.

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.

About: After 5 years working hands-on at two separate professional daycare and boarding facilities, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes (from Chihuahuas to Great Danes), temperaments, and energy levels. I am comfortable with everything from high-energy puppies to gentle senior dogs. I am a senior in college studying companion animals, which gives me a deep, science-backed understanding of canine body language, behavior, and welfare. Whether your pup is an active breed needing a fast-paced walk, a shy rescue needing patient care, or a large breed requiring confident handling, I know how to keep them safe, happy, and calm. I bring facility-level safety standards, reliable routines, and absolute dedication straight to your home. I am currently working part-time during the summer, so my schedule varies. This allows me to be highly flexible and available for midday walks and in-home pet sitting! I am dedicated to keeping your dog's daily schedule intact by providing reliable bathroom breaks, feedings, structured exercise, and plenty of focused attention and cuddles. With my extensive experience working with dogs, I bring professional level safety standards straight into your home. I am trained in reading subtle canine body language, managing environmental triggers on walks, and keeping environments secure and happy for your pup. Your home will be treated with absolute respect, your dog will receive attentive care, structured routines, and plenty of love, and you will receive frequent updates to give you complete peace of mind.

About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional experience and a lifetime of hands-on pet care. I spent over three years working in a dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also worked as a pet store manager, which gave me valuable experience with animal behavior, care, and overall pet wellness. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior needing extra attention, I provide patient, personalized care tailored to them. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home most days, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I only go into the office one day per week, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most pets’ routines and needs. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quality one-on-one attention into my day. Whether your pet prefers an active day or a quiet companion nearby, I can provide a comfortable and consistent environment while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any other specific care requests. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and mental stimulation based on their individual needs and personality. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, so I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

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.

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.

Traci is reliable, dependable, and so caring! She has been watching/walking my pup Ollie for years and never fails to take the up most care including keeping me up to date with photos and updates when I am away. Working with her, time and time again, is truly a no-brainer. I would 100% recommend her!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Oak Park Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Oak Park Heights is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $34 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 4,809 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Oak Park Heights. 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.

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 Oak Park Heights 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.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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. 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.

To find sitters in Oak Park Heights with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Park Heights. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.

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.
