About: I've had pets my whole life, I watch the pets of my friends and family as often as I'm needed. I make sure they're fed, hydrated and go on walks daily. I also have experience working with blind and deaf dogs. I am on Medical Leave from work and pet care is what I am best at. I am free all day every day including weekends. I am best at caring for pets in other peoples homes. If I'm staying somewhere overnight i bring my own food, towels, blankets and pillows and i'm able to sleep anywhere including couches and floors. I am not able to watch pets in my own home as I live in a very small apartment that pets are not allowed in.

About: I've taken care of, trained and loved animals since I was little. Growing up that infatuation grew into a dream to have my own kennel and business. Now I own and operate Pawsitive Journey, so in a way uou could say that dream has turned into a reality. I'm experienced with a wide variety of behaved dogs, puppies and more. Don't be afraid to reach out. When your fur babies are in my care, they will be treated and cared for as family. I'm currently self-employed through Pawsitive Journey, so I will have plenty of time to provide your pet with the care, attention, and playtime you want and expect. I have a 6+ years of handling and caring for animals in general and would be able to provide the most comfort and the most exhilarating time while you are away, depending on what your pet requires.

About: I strive to provide the care and professionalism that I need and expect to be provided to my own pets. Dogs are wonderful creatures that deserve proper love and attention integrated into their family life. I have experience with successful training of my own dog's basic obedience skills (sit, stay, heel, eat, touch, shake, etc). Have taken care of many other dogs, reptiles, and fish for people in my life. I am especially interested in helping reactive dogs or dogs with behavioral issues. I work freelance so I set my own schedule for the most part. Completely flexible for clients needs. A few weeks of the year I'm booked for longer gigs but that is easily identifiable up front for potential clients. Care for clients is completely dependent on their needs and comforts. I will always defer to the client for what is needed for them and their environment. Open and honest communication is the foundation for care and comfortability.

We did after all and everything went very smoothly including our meet and greet. We would absolutely book with Jessica again. Thanks for taking great care of our two cats and for the great updates/pics!”

About: Hello! My name is Sierra, I'm currently a medical student at a world renowned Veterinary school - Tufts! 😊 As a future Veterinarian, I am dependable, highly experienced, and dedicated to my work. I have been providing these services for animals of all ages, sizes, and needs for the past 6 years on Rover. I have worked with animals for over 15 years, and I've gathered plenty of experience in administering medication, taking precautions for anxious and elderly pets, and communicating clearly through any and all circumstances. I'm also animal CPR trained, alongside experienced in triaging pets in critical condition. I have graduated as pre-veterinary student at Colorado College, supporting my education and family with the work I'm the most passionate about- Animals! Currently I am putting my passion and expirience to work as I care for, examine, and treat pets of all sizes and backgrounds. All these experiences make me a dependable and knowledgeable sitter for all your fur babies and their needs 😊 My home is spacious, always supervised, and close to many walking paths and dog parks. I'm very willing to work with you and make sure all your needs, alongside your pets', are taken care of any time-- day or night! 😊 A more detailed list of my experience includes: -Small (4lbs) and Large dog breeds (120+ lbs) -High maintenance care for elderly cats and dogs including fostering animals, giving end of life care, and administering oral and injectable medications -Taking precautions and monitoring animals struggling with allergies, cancer, and chronic illness -Highly experienced in animals with anxiety due to past families or trauma -Early puppy training and sitting (polite play, positive reinforcement, early commands, and potty training) -Over 4,000 hours of animal care and research experience alongside shadowing at multiple veterinary clinics and currently working at a Veterinary Hospital -Keeping active pups happy, walking up to 10 miles a day or daily runs -Fostered 3 rescue dogs with behavioral needs that I helped care for long term. One of which was a mixed Boxer puppy and the other was a 4 y/o Boston Terrier. As both grew, I worked with them as they learned to cope with anxieties and adjust to family life. - I also fostered a 16 y/o Siberian Huskey for 2 years, giving him medications, vitamins, helping him move around and exercise, and doing everything to help make him more comfortable. -As a Bonner Fellow at Colorado College I actively engage in the Colorado Springs community, wildlife, and animal care clinics and humane societies. -I'm well versed in clear communication, paying attention to detail, maintaing calm and clear communications in tough situations, and providing the best care possible! 😊 I have a wide range of experience in this field, but am happy to tailor my rates to fit the specific needs of your fluffy family members- if they're easily satisfied or need full time TLC! I'm also more than happy to adjust rates for pups with a flexible schedule. I am home full time and a well trained amd expirienced Veterinary nurse, happy to work around whatever schedual suits your furry family members best! I can be as present or brief as your pup needs. My services are highly specialized from one family to the next, and I will go over specific needs and procedures before every new relationship!

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. I currently live with a black lab. I also have two cats at my parent's house. I began volunteering at the Tri County Humane Society in Saint Cloud a few months ago and love it. I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats, big or small, calm or crazy. I work overnights three days a week and wanted something that I could do in my free time. I am available pretty much whenever during the weekdays and most weekends. I am currently living with a ten year old black lab who is a very laid back dog in his older age. I also volunteer at the humane society and have taken dogs for walks and helped with shelter care (cleaning cages, letting dogs out, etc.). I am very comfortable with any task thrown at me, but I mainly prefer dog walking.

About: I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals, always having a beloved pet by my side. With years of experience as the go-to pet sitter in my family and friend group, I take pride in giving animals my full, undivided attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time walking and playing with all types of pets. I am committed to providing reliable and dedicated care for your pets, anytime and anywhere you need me.

About: My love of animals started at a very young age. I grew up on a farm with many dogs, cats, and horses. I look forward to caring for your fur babies as if they were my own. I know it can be difficult to leave them, but know they are in excellent hands. I work as a nurse so I do have some extra time off during the week/weekends. I am mostly available early mornings or the late afternoons/evenings. On my days off, I can be flexible! I am here to accommodate yours and your fur baby’s needs! I will provide a fun, yet safe environment both on and off leash. I would want the best care for my pet as well.

Danielle was amazing with my two mini dachshunds, Max and Romeo, over the Fourth of July weekend! She was patient, kind, and kept me updated with messages, photos, and even videos throughout each visit. Romeo can be shy at first and Max can be a handful, but she handled both of them with calm energy and humor. She followed all my care instructions perfectly, cleaned up accidents without hesitation, and made sure the boys were happy and comfortable. I really appreciated her communication and how much she cared about their well‑being. I’d absolutely book Danielle again — she’s reliable, attentive, and great with dogs who have big personalities!

Elizabeth is awesome! I have booked her several times for my cat Crush. She takes great pictures and does extra things to help - like bringing in packages and hanging a rug to dry that I left in my washing machine. It's nice to know that I have someone to watch my house as well as care for my cat.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Saint Cloud

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint Cloud is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 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 264 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Cloud. 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 Cloud. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
