“Caroline did an excellent job taken care of my cats, she followed my instructions perfectly, and gave me daily updates, and even checked in with me after I got home. I will definitely rehire her as I know my cats are in good care.”
“Taylor is the best! She always goes above and beyond every time she watches my cat. I completely trust her to care for her and give her so much love, just like she was her own. Highly recommend!”
About: I used to own two Cavaliers, and have taken care of various dogs on behalf of friends/family, including dog sitting for my sister's high anxiety rescue dog, and now have taken care of numerous dogs in the year I’ve been on Rover. I find that a calm, patient demeanor can win over even the most stranger-wary dog. I am in the process of changing careers, so am taking classes, which meet mostly online. Aside from the few hours a week when I volunteer to work with special-needs children in therapeutic horseback riding, my schedule is very flexible, including nights/weekends. Mornings? Evenings? Last minute? No problem. I think of pets as family, and will treat your pet like my family. (Don't worry, that's a good thing!) As a horseback rider, I find the skills of working with our animal friends transfer easily. Regardless of species, they enjoy human attention/affection, engagement and are often much smarter than we give them credit for.
About: With 16 years of hands-on experience in humane society and private pet care, I've worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and medical needs. I provide patient, dependable care and take pride in helping even nervous or anxious dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work from home, which allows me to provide flexible, attentive care tailored to your pet's routine. From walks and feeding schedules to playtime, medications, and companionship, your pet will receive consistent care and plenty of attention throughout the day. 🐾❤️ Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide attentive supervision, follow care instructions closely, and maintain open communication with regular updates and photos.
“Doreen has been absolutely amazing with our kitty! She goes above and beyond to make sure he feels loved and cared for while we’re away, spending tons of time playing with him and sending us the sweetest pictures and updates. Seeing those photos is genuinely one of the highlights of our day whenever we’re out of town! It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such wonderful, caring hands. We truly couldn’t recommend Doreen enough to anyone looking for someone to love and care for their pets as much as they do. We’re so grateful for her and always look forward to having her watch our little guy!”
“Kristen was great as we requested her assistance last minute. She was very communicative and loving towards our 2 cats. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking and will definitely use her again.”
“Maddy is wonderful! She took detailed notes about Maisie’s care when we met and I could tell she cares deeply about the pets she works with. She also shared lots of pictures and helpful notes about her drop in visits. I’ve already booked with Maddy again and plan to continue working with her in the future.”
“Makayla went above and beyond for our pup and communicated quickly. She brought a creative treat toy and walked our pup and sent great photos every time she dropped in while we went on a trip. I knew our dog was loving life and felt so much more comfortable with her dropping in than boarding! I will for sure be booking with her again. THANK YOU again Makayla!”
About: Hi! I’m Sydney and I’m 28 years old. I have been taking care of dogs for over 10 years for friends and family. My family has fostered dogs, so I have experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. I also have an anxious fur baby of my own, so dogs that need extra care hold a special place in my heart. I currently work in the corporate world full time, but I have a very flexible job. I work a hybrid schedule which means I am working at home for most of the week and can often be available during the day. I live in an areas with many walking trails and a small dog park outside my apartment. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and am comfortable handling larger dogs.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was young, as well as more exotic pets. I have experience with birds, hamsters, rats, and chinchillas to name a few. I work full time but have a flexible work schedule that allows me to devote a decent amount of time during my day towards pet care. I closely supervise any pets and make sure they get all of their needs taken care of. I do a lot of research about each animal I am looking after and make sure that I know any specific requirements of that species/breed.
“Spencer did a great job of taking care of our cat and following the instructions we left for him. He communicated well throughout the entire time. He offered to come on an unscheduled day just so he could fix an error in our litter robot. We really appreciate his help and recommend him to other cat owners.”
“Carla gave us frequent updates after each visit with pictures. She gave our older dog his meds and tried a few strategies when he was less than thrilled to take them :) we appreciated the pictures, it was so great to see or beloved pets' pictures while we were away. Thanks Carla!”
“My dog Peter is in hospice. He is stage 4 kidney disease. That is the bad part. The good part is he is happy enjoying the end of his novel free from pain. To keep Peter happy, it's a lot of work frankly. Lots of medications and Sub Q fluids (Fluids are administered through a small needle inserted into the skin between Pete's shoulder blades) to flush out his failing kidney every day. That is where Howie comes in. I travel quite frequently, and it has become increasingly difficult for my 83-year-old father to give Pete the Sub Q fluids because he does not really enjoy the treatment. Howie is so kind, gentle and loving with Pete and provides him with his treatment any time i am out of town. I honestly do not know what I would (or my entire family) would do without his help. I am so lucky to have found him as it is not easy finding someone with the experience that Howie has with ailing fur babies.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I’m happy I chose Maggie to watch my 2 cats. She did a great job. She’s very pleasant, friendly, and easy to work with, and good with communicating and responding quickly to messages. I had originally scheduled just 4 visits since I wasn’t sure how it would go, but things went well and Maggie was very accommodating about extending the booking 3 more days. I got lots of updates with photos, and came home to a clean house and happy cats. Doesn’t get any better than that! I will definitely use Maggie again for pet sitting and would recommend her to other pet parents.”
“Xander was able to accommodate my last minute booking and even stopped by to do a meet-and-greet on short notice. Xander was easy to communicate with, very reliable, and took such good care of Molly. I got daily updates and photos and knew that my sweet kitty was in super capable hands. Xander was also conscientious about taking care of my space (washing Molly’s dishes, sweeping up around her litter box) and it’s little things like that that really make a big difference. Would definitely book Xander again when I’m out of town!”
About: My pet experience ranges from helping raising our 3 Rottweiler puppies growing up, to cats, guinea pigs, hermit crabs and more! Now with years of experience under my belt, I can proudly say I’ve helped with senior cats and dogs, all the way down to a 6 month old Chow Chow puppy! With training a rescue puppy of my own, you can garuntee your pet will be in safe hands! I’m currently working part time, and can block off my schedule as needed when I’m not seeing clients, so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pets some love! I very easily and thoroughly follow directions, with great attention to detail. This way, your pet can feel right at home, even while you’re away. If your pup loves dog friends, I have a 1 year old Shih Tzu mix who can hang with us :) Otherwise, I will give your pet all the one on one love they need!

Seriously folks! Choose Taylor! This was my first experience on Rover and I could not have had a better experience. I had a quick meet and greet with Taylor before she watched my dogs and not only did I instantly like her, I also felt I could trust her. I was able to enjoy my time away and not worry about the dogs. Thank you so much Taylor!!!!!!!
Maddy was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind and considerate to our three male cats! We left for a week and had Maddy come drop in on them every now and again. She was even understanding and accommodating for our trouble child (one of the cats), who can have a hard time with new people. We were so grateful Maddy came by and gave us updates on our gremlins! 😁

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Saint Louis Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint Louis Park is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $34 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 5,835 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Louis Park. 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 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 Saint Louis Park. On Rover:
- 87% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
