“Patty made our first experience with Rover so wonderful and relieving. I could tell immediately she was someone who loved animals and was doing this out of that love and generosity. She left wonderful and detailed reports of our cats and we feel so grateful she is someone we can trust our pets with in the future.”
“Kaitlyn was incredible. She did a thorough job checking in on my cat, Zelda, and was even able to coax her out of her reclusive nature and get some play time in. Thanks Kaitlyn!”
“Ann is a fantastic cat sitter. She did a really good job taking care of my cat. I’d definitely work with her again, as she sent plenty of photos and great updates. I also loved that she dropped off an envelope with a nice message in it and a cat toy. 10/10 would highly recommend booking with her.”
About: I have spent my whole life around animals. My passion goes way beyond standard pet care. I worked for two years as a professional dog bather and kennel attendant. That experience taught me how to handle all sizes of dogs safely. I can also do expert nail trims and baths. When I am not with pets I volunteer at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in the mammal nursery. Caring for fragile wildlife requires extreme patience and strict schedules. My schedule is highly flexible! I am fully available most days for walks and drop in visits. I can easily adjust my time to fit your pet's routine. My Rover calendar is always kept up to date with my exact availability. Safety is my #1 priority! I have a professional kennel background and experience with fragile wildlife so I’m super observant and know how to handle animals safely. I’m extra careful about locking gates and making sure no one escapes through the front door. I'll strictly follow your feeding schedules and care rules and I’ll send you tons of cute photo updates so you know your babies are happy and loved!
“Jordana was so quick to respond and made communication so easy. We could tell she really spent quality time with our kitties with how well she spoke about each of their personalities. We would certainly hire her again!”
“Bella was so helpful for a last minute emergency after we had a day of cancellation!! Great communication and so helpful. Followed directions well and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs and you will receive tons of pictures throughout the day! We have flexible jobs where we can work from home so your dog will always have someone to hang out with. Our house has a very large fenced in backyard where the critters can run around and chase all the rabbits and squirrels out. Your pup will have full access to the entire house including all of the furniture and beds. Please let us know if you would like to set up a meet and greet to ensure that all our furry critters get along. In addition, we are members of the Horse and Hunt club and often take our hunting dogs. If you’re interested, we would be happy to take your hunting dog with to horse and hunt to run fields and get them on birds. Cost would be a daily visit plus cost of birds. We basically schedule our days around dogs and their daily needs. Just let us know what their routine is and we will stick with what they’re used to. My husband and I both work hybrid/remote and someone will always be home with the dogs to hang out with them, let them out, etc.
“We had a wonderful experience! They took such great care of our elderly (and sometimes grumpy!) Chihuahua while we were on vacation. Communication was excellent, and they were so patient and understanding of our dog's unique needs and personality. It was obvious they genuinely love animals, which gave us so much peace of mind. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such caring hands. We're incredibly grateful and would happily book with them again!”
About: I've lived with dogs my whole life and am a dog owner at my core! I so love caring for pets, providing for them and being their biggest advocate. When our pets are happy, we're happy :) I work from home in Prior Lake as a Graphic Designer and have a lot of flexibility with my job. I'm dog mom to our Great Pyrenees and I know a lot about senior care, medication administration, general communication and body language knowledge, walking and leash training. We're open to boarding well-socialized pups in our home, but they must be respectful of our older resident dog. They can enjoy the large, shaded back yard together on secure leads as we have an unfenced yard. We also have chickens (who are securely fenced in their own area!) I'm available mornings, evenings, overnights and weekends! I work from home full time in Prior Lake and have day time flexibility. I'd love to bring your dog along with me for walks! I care for your pets just as I would my own! I'm attentive, intuitive and thoughtful when it comes to taking care of your animals and home. I'm very respectful and trustworthy of others spaces. I will leave everything exactly as I find it.
“Dani was so fantastic! We have one kitty that gets very nervous around strangers but no problem with Dani. She took care of everything while we were gone on a week long vacation - feeding and visiting with our two cats, cleaning out their litter boxes, checking the porch for packages, even taking our garbage bins out and in! She was chill even when there was a mishap with our home alarm system (which was totally my fault) and gave us lots of pictures and updates while we were gone. I'll definitely have her back!”
“Monica was a great cat sitter. She was in daily communication and stuck around to make sure my anti social cat received attention. I highly recommend Monica to care for your pet.”
“Immediately upon meeting Camila, we could see her love for animals, and knew our cat would be in great hands. Camila sent us many beautiful photos of Bella throughout the weekend, which we thoroughly enjoyed and looked forward to receiving each day. We could see in the pictures that Bella was having a lot of fun being cuddled and played with. We would definitely recommend Camila to other pet owners and will reach out to her again when we need someone to watch our cat! Thanks, Camila!”

Comfy, quiet sleeping quarters at night. Ideal care for your pet!
“Donnelle was absolutely wonderful, especially considering we needed care on short notice! Having one high-energy Blue Heeler/Cattle Dog can be a challenge—but double that by two, and it definitely takes the right person. Donnelle handled Jep and Rooney beautifully. She gave them plenty of walks, playtime, fetch, attention, and affection, and I loved the thoughtful updates after every visit. You could tell she was actually getting to know each of their personalities and figuring out what worked best for them. Most importantly, my boys always seemed to have a smile on their faces, which gives me such peace of mind when I'm away. I would highly recommend Donnelle to anyone looking for someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely caring with their dogs—especially active breeds! We would absolutely love to have her back and will definitely be requesting her again. Five stars from Jep, Rooney, and me! 🐾💙”
“Ed really goes the extra mile, not only for the pets for whom he is caring, but also with keeping their “parents” entertained with stories, puzzles, and humor. We look forward to each time he sits for us!”
“Alyssa was so great with our kitty Marceline! She responded very quickly when I first reached out, and our kitty was comfortable with her right away. She had great attention to detail and was very pleasant to work with. I could tell from the pictures each day that our kitty was very happy with her! We would definitely use her as a sitter again in the future!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Prior Lake is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Prior Lake
Ann has done an amazing job with my two pups, dropping in to take them potty while I’m at work. I have a Havanese Shih Tzu that’s a bit of a troublemaker and she has been amazing at working with her behaviors. Ann communicates really well and I would highly recommend her!
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.
Christine’s passion for pets is perfectly demonstrated through the care she provides your pet(s). She’s very thorough & detailed oriented which makes the experience worry free. Also, she was willing to go above & beyond just pet care. We will definitively use her again if possible!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Prior Lake on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,439 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
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
- 97% 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.
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.
