“Juli was a perfect dog sitter. Mac took to her right away. She took him for walks and took very good care of him and he was healthy and happy when we got home. I would definitely hire her again. Thanks much!”

“My boy and girl kitties love Mexi! My girl is a bit shy but came right up to her. Loved the pictures she took too I could tell they were in good hands . They were not too mad at me when I came back, which means they did not feel abandoned.”

About: About Me & My Family Hi there! We are a lifelong dog-loving family excited to welcome your furry companion into our home. Dogs have been a central part of our lives for as long as we can remember, and we know how important it is to find a safe, loving, and attentive environment for your pup while you're away. When your dog stays with us, they aren't just guest pets—they become part of the family! Why Your Dog Will Love It Here: -Constant Care & Supervision: Both adults in our home work from home full-time. That means your pup will almost never be left alone! They’ll get frequent potty breaks, steady companionship, and plenty of mid-day love. -Spacious & Secure Yard: We have a large, fully fenced-in yard perfect for zoomies, games of fetch, or lounging in the sun safely. -A Built-In Playmate: Our 2.5-year-old, 45 lb mutt mix is super friendly, energetic, and always eager to make new canine friends. If your dog loves to play, they’ll have a fantastic partner in crime! -Kid-Friendly & Loving Atmosphere: Our two kids (ages 8 and 11) have grown up around animals, know how to respect a dog's space, and love giving extra pets and gentle attention. Our Daily Routine & Environment: Because we work from home, our daily schedule is very flexible. A typical day includes: -Morning: Morning stretch and breakfast, followed by supervised yard playtime. -Mid-Day: Periodic breaks out in the yard, desk-side snuggles, and interactive play sessions. -Evening: Family relaxing time indoors, treats, and lots of cozy couch or dog-bed lounging. Important Notes for Guest Dogs: To make sure everyone has a safe and happy stay, we ask that guest dogs meet a few basic requirements: -Cat & Dog Compatibility: We have two resident cats and one playful dog. Guests should be comfortable around cats (or happy to ignore them) and enjoy playing or peacefully coexisting with other dogs. -House-Trained & Vaccinated: Up-to-date vaccinations and basic house-training are required to keep all our pets healthy and safe. We’d love to host a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a perfect match for everyone. We look forward to meeting you and your pup! Our Daily Routine & Environment: Because we work from home, our daily schedule is very flexible. A typical day includes: -Morning: Morning stretch and breakfast, followed by supervised yard playtime. -Mid-Day: Periodic breaks out in the yard, desk-side snuggles, and interactive play sessions. -Evening: Family relaxing time indoors, treats, and lots of cozy couch or dog-bed lounging. Kids are both in soccer and if there’s a game, dogs will likely get some rest at home while we are gone. Otherwise home to supervise and play. Cat & Dog Compatibility: We have two resident cats and one playful dog with a large fenced in yard. Guests should be comfortable around cats (or happy to ignore them) and enjoy playing or peacefully coexisting with other dogs. Our dog is crate trained and sleeps there each night. Happy to crate as well. We have a separate guest space for dogs who want a bit more space to relax in an unfamiliar place.

About: Hello, my name is Claire. I have been lucky enough to grow up surrounded by dogs and cats, and have pet sat many times for friends and family. Because of this, I have learned to care for animals at every stage of life. My experience ranges from command and walk training for puppies, to adhering to a regimented medicine routine for senior dogs, to doing daily playtime and pet waste clean-up. I am very tidy, organized, and am happy to adapt to you and your pets' needs. I also love to spend time outside, so I can promise plenty of walks and safe outside time for your pet. I'm excited to meet and care for your furry friend! I am a graduate student at the U of Minnesota, but I will have time outside of class for your dogs. I am most available to stay over on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights, as well as Wednesday and Friday during the day. On weekdays, I will be out for several hours at school in the middle of the day, but will be available for drop in visits or walks during the morning and late afternoon. While I do not offer boarding pets in my home, I am happy to do home visits that adhere to your pets' routine. I will respect what time they typically eat meals, wake up, play, go outside, and walk, as well as where they sleep in your home. I will also ensure that your home is kept clean during my stay.

About: Hi friends! My name is Robin, I’m 29, and I’m an artist living in northeast Minneapolis currently working in the service industry. While I don’t have any pets of my own, I am my community’s right-hand-gal when it comes to pet care. I also spend my free time often reading and consuming content about dog training and working with reactive pups. It is important to me that my presence is known by the animals in my life to be calm and joyful and consistent. I’ve got lots of attention to give and lots of patience - looking to overflow back into the families around me through helping care and tend to their pets. I am most familiar with having small dogs be a part of my family but have built my pet experience recipe to the brim with dogs of all sizes and ages as well as playful & shy cats and kittens. Don’t let the “gap in my resume” fool you - I’ve been servicing families in my area consistently (they just text me the old fashioned way ;)). I am currently in-between jobs so I have more open availability than normal. I currently have a standing commitment Wed-Friday 1pm-3pm, but that is my only limitation at this time. I am located in NE Minneapolis. I like to simulate what a normal day might look like for them while adapting to their particular needs surrounding getting to know a new friend (me!). I pride myself in being able to match the energy of animals and display to them that my job is to make sure they’re safe and I do not need to be in their physical space when they don’t want it. I love cuddling up with a lil silly sleepy pal but I won’t even be putting my hands on them regularly until/unless it is absolutely clear that they’re ready and wanting attention from me like that.

About: I have lots of patience for all kinds of animals with all kinds of behaviors. I am passionate about cats, dogs, and any pet I meet. I am often the favorite human to the animals in my life. I currently have a part time job but am planning to do full time school in the fall. I will have time outside of classes, and plenty of time over the summer, to care and play with your pets! I will try to get to know your pet as best I can. I am flexible and willing to snuggle, play, go on walks or look out the window with your furry friend. If I am ever watching pets in my own home I have a very friendly 30 lb terrier mix that loves to play with other dogs.

About: I've shared my life with animals for years, and both of my pets came to me needing a second chance. Andy, my cat, was a stray I took in as a graduate student. He started out wary and skittish, and learning to earn his trust taught me patience and how to read the quiet signals cats give when they're stressed, content, or not feeling well. Stevie, our dog, is a rescue, and helping her settle into a new home showed me how much consistency, gentle routines, and a calm presence matter to a pet adjusting to change. I was raised by a single mom who showed me what steady, attentive care looks like, and I bring that same nurturing energy to every pet I look after. Whether your cat needs a quiet drop-in or your dog needs a good walk, I'll follow your routines closely, keep you updated, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is very flexible! I am happy to work around your schedule and accommodate as best as I can! In my home, pets get a calm, pet-friendly space and plenty of attention. In your home, I stick as closely as possible to your pet's normal routine: the same feeding times, portions, walk schedule, and bedtime habits. I'll make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes are scooped, any medications are given exactly as directed, and doors and windows are secured before I leave. For dogs, that means walks, potty breaks, and playtime; for cats, it means quiet company, play, and a close eye on appetite and litter habits, since those are often the first signs something's off. Either way, I'll send photos and updates after every visit so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. If anything seems unusual, I'll contact you right away and won't hesitate to get vet care if it's needed.

About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was 6 years old. I’ve had German Shepards, Pugs, Labs, Boxers, puggles and mixed breeds. I love all dogs~ and am currently dog free. I will care for yours as I would my own- like children. 🥰. I’ve had a long career in Human Resources, and with that comes great responsibility, trust and integrity. I have clean background- not even a parking ticket. I enjoy playing with dogs, petting them (maybe some smooches as evidenced in my photos) and giving plenty of love and attention. I can walk dogs, feed them, give medicine, throw a few balls - whatever their favorite activity is just let me know! I have had special needs dogs as well- so special circumstances are not a problem. Thanks!

Ciboney was amazing! Our cats immediately took a liking to her from the initial meet and greet. She was very responsive, sent photos and updates, and followed any new instructions I gave throughout the trip. I was very nervous to leave a kitten at home, but she played and bonded with her, which I really appreciated. I am very happy with her services!

Will took excellent care of our dogs. He made sure to check on them, give them ample play time, and ensure they had water. We have two English Mastiffs, one of whom is young, so we really appreciate having someone who is confident with large, adolescent dogs. On top of it all, he’s an excellent photographer and took a lot of great photos! We are excited to use his services again in the future and would highly recommend him to others.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Saint Anthony

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint Anthony is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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.

As of October 2026, there are 5,893 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Anthony. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Anthony. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
