“Emma was wonderful with our pups! She was also kind enough to agree to check-in with our dogs after a pet sitter cancelled on us a few days before we were to leave on vacation. She sent us pictures, cleaned up doggie drool, ? and left our pups happy and well taken care of. We highly recommend her!”
About: I have had dogs/cats my whole life and love working with them! Experience in walking, pet sitting and check ins on pets. You should be able to step away without stress! Your paws are in good hands. :) I’m currently in my career don’t let that fool you! I am an early riser and a would love to be able to check in or walk your furry friend as early at 4am! Weekends and flexible! Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and trustworthy environment where every dog is treated like family. Whether we're out for a walk or relaxing at home, you'll have peace of mind knowing your pup is receiving plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I take the time to get to know each dog's unique personality and needs so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away!
About: I’ve always had a deep love for all kinds of animals, so I knew Rover would be the perfect opportunity for me. I currently have two golden retrievers named Winnie and Willow. Growing up I always had dogs as well so taking care of them is really familiar to me. I can’t wait to meet your animals! I currently have a part time job so I have a lot of extra time to care for your animals. I am available for walks or in home visits. I will always treat every animal like they are my own. Their safety and happiness is my number one concern. I will provide a detailed update after each visit.
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was little! Most of friends have 4 legged friends that I love to spend time with. I love helping where I’m needed with caring for animals for friends and family and would love to help you. I’m currently working a very flexible schedule with my current position. Considering me home more then a usual person. I do have a set schedule of Sunday days and Monday nights at my other job, but free time for most of my week. I live in an apartment that has a small dog park connected to it. Good at knowing when a little one needs to go outside and also when I need to keep your dog safe.

About: Im a pet owner myself with 2 kitties and a bully breed. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets including reptiles and birds as well as doing nail clippings with non aggressive pets. I taught my dog a few tricks like shake and spin. Overall very flexible with care on my days off. Thanks for looking! I currently work full-time 3 days a week, 12 hr shifts. Aside from that I’m free weekends to care for your babies while you take a vacation or a quick break! My pets are always supervised as they tend to be velcro babies. I take my pets out on a schedule as well as have a feeding schedule twice a day. Trips to the dog park are an option so long as safety is kept in mind, I tend to go when the park is less busy to avoid any potential fights. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds as they are family.

As a empty nester, I travel more now so need to fill my desire to be around animals through helping people take care of there fur babies. Hi! I'm excited to be back in Minnesota after recently moving home from Florida. Because of my move, I had stopped taking new clients for awhile and my rover reviews are a little bit aged for that reason. I am looking at reconnecting my past clients and meeting many new furry friends and their families! I'm a flight attendant, so my schedule varies, but I always keep my Rover calendar updated so you can easily se my availability. When I'm home, I love spending my time caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable while you're away. One of my biggest strengths is having a wonderful support system. My dear friend of 30+ years is also a trusted Rover sitter, and we often help each other out with referrals, etc. when needed. It gives both of us extra flexibility and helps ensure the pets in our care always receive reliable, attentive service. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention, I'd be honored to care for them as i they were my own. I can't wait to work with both new and returning clients and build lasting relationships with you and your pet(s). I love helping people and animals. I know 1st hand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family. I have a dependable vehicle and free time to assist people with your fur babies. I intentionally plan my schedule to ensure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I prioritize consistency, safety, and communication. You will always receive updates and photos giving you the peace of mind while you are away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Prior Lake
Very thorough. Wrote everything down. Asked questions. My dog is a paralyzed dog that wears diapers. He needs a special sitter to express his urine and poop. She was willing to learn which finding that is almost impossible. She did a great job and caught on quickly. The dogs loved her and Teddy was very relaxed in her care. Will definitely only use her from now on!!!!
Keith and Baubee were incredible. They took great care of our 3 dogs and babies them like they are used to. It’s not a small job, and it was accomplished flawlessly. It’s rare to find people that you feel 100% comfortable leaving your pets with but I would not hesitate to do it again.

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 Prior Lake 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.
