“Julie did a great job with our shy cat. You can tell right off the bat she’s an animal lover. She was very patient with her and great about leaving detailed check in notes. We would happily have her pet sit for us any time!”

“Valerie is so thorough & is teaching my dog great habits! She always leaves him treats and new toys & is thoughtful about what our puppy enjoys. You will not be disappointed hiring her!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I've taken them through multiple levels of training including therapy dog training. I am a Registered Nurse working part time and I'd love to spend my extra time taking care of your much-loved pet! I currently work part time, which leaves me available for dog walks or drop-ins in the afternoon, boarding is available during the week, though I will be out of the house Mon-Fri 9:00 am-1:30 pm I have a large yard with no fence. We have a walking trail available at the end of our driveway where I can walk your dog when they stay at my house. I have one 2+yr old Labrador and one 8 yr-old boy. My dog is dog/cat friendly.
About: Hi! My name is Abbie and I LOVE dogs & cats! We have an almost 4 year old golden retriever - who is a certified therapy dog. We enjoy volunteering as a therapy team in the community! If you are in need of dog walking, drop-in visits or boarding -please reach out, I would love to help!! I have a flexible schedule. I enjoy walks in our neighborhood, time in nature, fetch in the yard, daily brushing and providing basic obedience training. Walks: I use a gentle leader, treats and positive reinforcement for training. My dog does not use a kennel. She enjoys dog beds, couches, and beds. However, happy to accommodate your specific pet needs.
About: I love dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all kinds and personalities. I grew up with both a Westie and an American Pit Bull Terrier, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic, playful dogs to more relaxed companions. I’m happy to do long walks, playtime, and care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels at any time of day. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and sick dogs, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether you need walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or something more specific, I’m flexible and happy to help however I can — just let me know what you need! *Lady, the American Pitbull Terrier listed on my profile, does not live in my home. I currently have a dog-free household* I have a flexible schedule and am happy to provide services at any time of day just let me know what you need and I can be available! My focus is on making each walk a positive and enriching experience for the pets in my care, fostering a sense of trust, joy, and exercise. When caring for pets on walks, my approach revolves around their safety, well-being, and enjoyment. I prioritize keeping them on a secure leash, ensuring their comfort with proper equipment, and maintaining a watchful eye for any potential hazards. Regular water breaks are provided, especially on hot days, and I adjust the pace of the walk to match their energy levels. Every pet is unique, so I adapt to their preferences, whether it's a brisk urban stroll, a leisurely park visit, or interactive playdates with fellow dogs. And of course I am happy to provide picture updates :)

About: Hi there! I am an avid animal lover with 17 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities, breeds, ages, and energy levels. I have had 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own, 12 foster dogs (not at the same time!) and have cared for many animals through Rover. I offer drop-in and dog walk services in the Hudson/Stillwater area. I work remote and have plenty of flexibility and availability to help fill in when you want a little help caring for your fur family. No upcharges for holidays either! Whether in your home, in your yard, or out and about, the safety of you pet, and their needs are top priority. I have engaged in a variety of dog training courses with my own dog so have no problem maintaining the rules you have in place for you animal/s.
About: I've taken care of dogs (housesitting and dog walking) ever since I was 10 years old. I have taken care of dogs anywhere from 9 weeks old to 17 years old. I have no problem giving medications or any special requests. I am currently in the middle of my senior year at Montana State University and am home for a bit this summer! I am extremely flexible, usually I end up going to the gym once a day, but don’t have any formal commitments! I do not have a home that I can bring dogs into, but I am more than willing to take care of dogs in your home, crating them, keeping them leashed (if necessary), and making any other modifications you may need.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, have years of pet sitting experience, and have volunteered with shelter dogs at the Animal Humane Society in Woodbury! I have a one year old pup that we adore. I work full time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for midday walks and check-ins. I’m also available most evenings after 4:30 for later walks, drop-ins, or extra care as needed. I try to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible by sticking closely to their normal routine. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and potty breaks while also respecting any routines, training, or house rules already in place.
About: I've had more than 2 dogs in my home my entire life, from 8 week old puppies to seniors. I have experience giving the dogs medicine when they need it. I work part time at a retail store, so I am never working more than 9 hours at a time, I usually only work 4-5 hours normally. I make the pets my priority when I am caring for them and I watch their behaviors so I can catch anything out of the ordinary. I follow feeding directions and potty schedules.

“Olivia is super helpful & easy going! Felt super confident that she was going to take great care of my dog and she did! You can tell she really cares and wants to make sure she provides for the dog how the owner would. Will be using her time & time again!”


About: I have owned dogs most of my upbringing and early adulthood. I now have more free time to help others take care of their dogs without worry. I work a part time waitressing job, mostly in the afternoons. So I am free all day long while you are at work. I am able to flex and change my schedule for you! I am free to watch your dogs in your home so your animal knows its environment is safe. I am also free to just pop over and take your dog for a long walk.
About: Hi! My name is Frankie, and I’ve spent many years caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and personalities. I truly love animals, and my top priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I nanny as well and know these are babies too just with fur! In addition to pet sitting, I work part-time evening shifts at a hospital and am currently a student. My schedule is flexible, and I make sure to give each pet the time and attention they need Safety is a top priority in everything I do. I always take care to follow each pet’s routine, keep them secure in their environment, and watch closely for any signs of stress or discomfort. Whether it’s walks, feedings, or downtime, I’m committed to making sure your pets are safe, calm, and well cared for at all times.
“Leslie was very prompt and professional in her response to our request. Our dog was very comfortable with her right away, and so were we. She communicated well how the in-home visits were going, and we would definitely recommend using her for dog care.”
“Vanessa is a true cat-lover and our cat was comfortable with her from the first time they met. She took excellent care of him while we were away on vacation, followed directions, and I would highly recommend her to other cat parents.”

“She was amazing with Beans. Love the daily pictures. Super thoughtful, brought in some packages that were left out in the rain for us. Very happy with the service.”

About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats in many different ways. I have owned dogs my entire life, plus a few cats. I volunteer at the Humane Society in Kansas City while at school where I work directly with the shelter dogs. I have house sat for multiple family friends and am ready to take on new pups and cats! I am currently home from school for the summer so am looking to fill the time. I work part time as a server a few times a week. During the day I often just workout, read a book, or hang with my own dogs. I have fostered a dog before and can adjust well to your dogs needs. I’ve practiced crate training, furniture restrictions, and other small training tasks. My house has an open yard which my dogs are free to run around in when they are not on leash to go potty.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Oak Park Heights stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
