About: I have grown up with dogs in the household while I currently do not have any dogs due to my two cats and living in a rental that doesn’t allow any more than two pets. I love dog sitting for my friends and family when they go out of town! I have worked with small to large dogs, dogs with special medication need's, dogs with behavioral issues/needs and puppies. I currently work from home Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday anywhere between 8 AM to 7 PM depending on my work schedule it changes weekly but I’m more then flexible it fit in walks or drop in visits. My weekends normally consist of just relaxing at home so I thought why not look into helping people with their beloved pets in the evening and on Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately, with my two cats living in a townhome rental, I won’t be doing services in my home, however, if I dog sit in your home I will make sure that your pet gets all the correct meals needed, on time medication‘s if needed, and plenty of play times and cuddles with walks throughout the day or as requested!

Olivia did a wonderful job with our 2 cats while we were gone for a week. She was on time and always spent time with the cats as well as sending a quick note and pics of them. We will use her again if needed.

About: I work from home full time and have the capability and desire to have a cuddly fur baby around, snuggles, walks and lots of love a must. I like watching 1 dog at a time but if they are from the same family, please feel free to reach out if there are 2. I am able to be flexible. Since I work from home full time I am available to watch your fur baby during the day, night, boarding and on weekends if needed I would take them on walks when I could during the day, snuggles, some play time and rest when needed. Plenty of food and water, no fenced in back yard.

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.

I am experienced with dogs of all ages and sizes and can administer medications including pills and insulin. I am available to walk, feed, watch, teach basic commands and even occasionally bathe your furry friends (including baths, brushing and nail trims)! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I currently work part-time at River Valley Groom and Board and am looking for some pet-sitting hours this summer! I am available to house-sit throughout the week, though I may occasionally have shifts lasting between 2-6 hours a day. I’m happy to stay overnight and can also make house visits throughout the day depending on preference! I’m a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter available for in-home dog and house sitting, so your pets can stay comfortable and cared for in their own familiar environment while you’re away. I also offer drop-in visits, potty breaks/let-outs, feeding, playtime, and walks, and I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care and regular updates and photos for your peace of mind.

We had a great experience with her! She was wonderful with our puppy, who is definitely in her land shark phase right now, and handled all the puppy chaos so well. She was communicative, reliable, and it was clear she genuinely cared about our dogs. I especially appreciated that she noticed one of our dogs was nervous because of the fireworks and spent time comforting her. It was really thoughtful and meant a lot to know she was paying such close attention. We’d absolutely book with her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.

About: As a dog owner of two and lifelong animal lover, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and am familiar with everything from puppy energy to senior dog needs. I enjoy staying active outside and making sure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of affection — including great puppy cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority. I work from home and can work from anywhere so I have almost unlimited flexibility and can’t wait to meet and get to know your oets! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets’ schedules as consistent as possible with regular feeding times, walks, play, and plenty of affection. I know how important familiarity is, so I work to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I treat every pet like one of my own and understand the trust it takes to have someone care for them in your home. I’m respectful of your space, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

About: I will love and care for your pet with the same attention as you would! I’m a dedicated dog lover and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes (from teacup yorkies to labradors). My family had black labs while I was growing up - and since then, I’ve loved caring for others. I’m happy to partake in their favorite activities - whether a dog park, a walk around the neighborhood, or swimming! Because I own my own business working from home, I have the flexibility needed to provide your dog the care and attention they deserve. They won’t be unattended. Your furry friend will get SO MUCH attention from me. I’ll care for them as if they were my own! I’m incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I love having the opportunity to care for animals with Rover! Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to shoot me a message. I currently own my own business working from home, so I’m able to provide care and attention at all times of the day. I love midday walks and would love to take your furry friend with me! I would prefer dog sitting in the dog’s own environment (i.e., the dog owner’s home). I feel as if this reduces the dog’s stress being in an environment with which they’re most comfortable (and happy!). I’m more than happy to spend mornings, afternoons, or evenings looking after your pet. I am incredibly reliable and trustworthy. Your dog would not be left unattended, so you can ensure their safety. I understand it can be difficult leaving your fur babies with strangers, but I’m here to make it as easy for you as possible.

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 loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I’ve always had a dog since i was little and i always adored them. I have worked with dogs for about a year now at Camp Bow Wow, where we supervised play, grooming, and gave breakfast and dinner. I’ve had experience with almost every kind of dog you can think of, and I’m good in any kind of situation. I am only working mornings and am completely free in my late afternoon/ evenings. I would love to spend my free time with some furry friends i Typically bring my dog for a walk everyday! He is super active so i try to get him outdoors and get some energy out!

About: I grew up with two cats and a dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life! I’m very active and love spending time outdoors, especially taking dogs on walks and giving them plenty of exercise and attention. Although I don’t currently have pets of my own, my boyfriend has a 1.5-year-old Black Lab who I spend lots of time with. I love being around animals and would be excited to give your pets the same love, care, and attention I would give my own! I recently started working from home so my schedule is fairly flexible! I am able to drop in or walk your pets in the morning, mid-day or evening! For drop-in visits and dog walking, I focus on making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. During walks, I provide plenty of exercise and allow time for sniffing and exploring at a pace that works for the dog. During drop-ins, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I’ll always follow the owner’s instructions and their pet’s usual routine, while also paying close attention to their behavior and needs. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I’m with them!

Ava was great with our Bernedoodle Murphy! He can be anxious around new people and instantly was comfortable with Ava. She gave him plenty of snuggle time and he looked so happy in all of the photos she shared. It was a huge relief while we were gone knowing he was so well taken care of.

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Prior Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Prior Lake on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 5,238 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Prior Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Prior Lake 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.

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 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.

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 Prior Lake 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 Prior Lake. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
