“Ashton did an amazing job visiting my old man Theo! It was a very last minute booking and i appreciate their help IMMENSELY! Seeing daily updates of him really helped me feel more secure that he was being well cared for, thank you again Ashton!”
About: I’ve taken care of family members or friends dogs since I was 13. I volunteered at a humane society and I work at a vet clinic as a vet assistant. I’m currently working a part time job on the weekends until the end of October and I’m a college student. I am available during the week after classes. When caring for pets I prioritize their safety, happiness and comfort. I will provide them with their needs which will include playtime and plenty of attention
“Alex was awesome with our chocolate lab Trigger! She communicates great, cares for Trig so well and Trigger absolutely loves her! She did drop ins while I was on vacation and we couldn’t trust her more. We 100% recommend Alex and will definitely be using her again!”
About: Your dog will feel right at home here—safe, loved, and rarely left alone. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable following routines, leash walking, and providing attentive, personalized care based on each dog’s needs. What truly sets me apart is the amount of time and companionship your dog will receive. I’m a stay-at-home mom to a 3-year-old and 1-year-old, and we’re a calm, dog-loving household. With close supervision, my kids enjoy gentle interactions and cuddles, so dogs receive consistent attention throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. Because I’m home most of the day, dogs are rarely left alone. Walks, feedings, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddle time are built naturally into our daily routine. I prioritize consistency so every dog feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
“I highly recommend Paige. Upon our return our home smelt normal and Sasha’s litter was clean. Paige was able to administer meds to her which was no easy feat. We will keep booking her if she is available.”
About: I've been taking care of people's cats and dogs alike ever since I was a teenager around the Edina neighborhood. I moved to Woodbury around 2019 where I adopted a cat. I grew up with dogs but I've wanted a cat too so now I'd say I'm proficient with both cats and dogs. I work part-time. I have flexible schedule on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.so I'm pretty much available all day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'm available to stay overnight if that is a need for the pet. I always make sure to establish trust between myself and the pet and the pet parent. I also understand animals need time to adjust to new people and every animal is different. Some also need more space to adjust and I'm that person that will give the time and space the animal needs.
About: I have spent my whole life with dogs, caring for our family dogs over the years and dog sitting for friends. I enjoy going on long walks and would love to have a buddy join me, big or small. I’m a graduate student and tend to be available either before 9am or after 5pm. I spend a good amount of time working from my apartment but sometimes have to unexpectedly run into the lab. I’m typically more free during the days on the weekend. I live in an apartment, and will not be able to host dogs here. the apartment is dog friendly so there is a chance i could bring a dog over temporarily, but not overnight. (though I wish i could!)
About: The two loves of my life were my dog, Abby, and my dog Bronx. Abby was a Siberian husky and Bronx a 15” lemon beagle. Bronx was part of my life for 20 years and just recently passed. I honestly can’t imagine a life without animals in it, and one day I wanna be able to reflect back on my life, knowing that I did as much as I could to help as many animals as possible, which is why becoming a part of ROVER is so appealing. I have an incredibly flexible work schedule that will enable me to schedule my work hours around my hours caring for animals. I truly believe that animals are every bit as important as we are, and I think pet owners will be able to rest easy, leaving their pets in my care, knowing that their health and safety will be of the utmost importance to me! I have a two-story condo that they would be able to spend most of their time in with me. I also have a heated garage that I’ve converted into a safe and comfortable area for animals to play in. In addition to that, I live in Woodbury, literally surrounded by parks, full of walking paths that will be ideal for a dogs exercise. One thing I would like pet owners to know is that I’m not doing this for the money, I’m doing this because I’m newly single and alone and can’t think of anybody better to spend my time with than animals in need. I wouldn’t just be some dog watcher, I would be their friend that plays with them and loves being with them.

About: I am currently training to be a certified veterinary technician and can use my knowledge to ensure your pet is as safe with me as possible. I love to raise/ care for animals so even though I do it as a job. Just a little extra thing I can do for the community. Puppy/kitty proof home like a baby and always like to familiarize myself with the environment before I care for a pet. I will also want any contact information and medical history of each pet to understand them.
“Shylina was VERY accommodating when we changed the time for Theo’s visits. She is very detailed in her report about him and his activities. We found a really good sitter in Shylina and highly recommend her.”

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.

About: Loving animals is at the heart of why pet sitting is such a fulfilling experience. Dogs, in particular, have an incredible capacity for unconditional love and loyalty. When you open your heart to care for them, you're not just providing a service; you're forming a bond built on trust and affection. Every wagging tail, wet nose nudge, and happy bark is a reminder of the pure joy that animals bring into our lives. I would love to take care of your Pet. PET sitting allows you to immerse yourself in this love, creating unforgettable moments and strengthening your appreciation for the wonderful connection we share with our furry friends. I’ve had Many Experiences with animals. As far as Young to growing up. I am working part time so I have plenty time for extra activities! I am free as a bird to enjoy time spending with your dog However I don’t have a fence yard.. but I will keep them on Leash all times! We could go on walks or just about anything! I am always able to run out for potty breaks!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in River Falls is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $26 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.

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.
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 .
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.

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 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 .
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.
