“Nick is great with our cat and our tank of 3 goldfish. They are always relaxed and happy when we get back. Nick keeps us updated every day as to how they are doing and sends us pics. Thank you Nick!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dog and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dog. My dog, Elliot, loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have my own small pup who is energetic and loves to play, but isn’t pushy. I work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dog).
“She followed our instructions and sent great pictures of our cats. She even got a great picture of our cat who is notorious for hiding from everyone who comes into our apartment.”
“April was amazing! She took such good care of Marcie while we were away. She was super detailed in her reports and took a bunch of great pictures too! April went above and beyond in her care of our kitty, and even made sure things were taken care of around the home too (took out the garbage and even helped us troubleshoot our WiFi at one point!). Definitely made me feel much better knowing Marcie was in such good hands. I would highly recommend April as a sitter!!”
About: I used to own two Cavaliers, and have taken care of numerous dogs on behalf of friends/family, including dog sitting for my sister's high anxiety rescue dog. 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.
“So grateful to Taylor. We had a last minute weekend trip and Taylor couldn't commit because she had her own last minute trip. However, she also knew that I wasn't sure that I had someone else to come in for the cats. I left them with 36 hours worth of food but was SO RELIEVED when Taylor contacted me that Saturday night to make sure the cats were taken care of and offered to care for them if there was still a need. He came in on Sunday morning much to the cat's relief (and mine).”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of being a pet owner myself for over 9 years and have cared for family and friends pets for over 20 years, with experience with reactive dogs specifically, as well as puppies and seniors alike. I’m currently working from home with flexible hours that allow for convenience to step out for walks, feeding time or check-ins/play-time as needed, especially local to St. Louis Park, Hopkins and Minneapolis. As my own dog is reactive to other pets I will only be able to provide care in your home/walks or playtime outside. I have experience pet and house-sitting and am comfortable with fitting into your routine as easily and seamlessly as possible. I am always comfortable with any level of communication, check-ins/photo documentation, home camera systems, and proof of locked doors/house security.
“Kaitlyn was great taking care of our cat Lucas! We contacted her close to the date that we were leaving and she was always prompt in her responses and very flexible to meet with us. She sent thorough updates and photos and everything was impeccable when we returned. She is awesome!”
“Maddy stopped by my home, on time, for our first in-person meet & greet. The visit was short and to the point, within that short time Maddy showed the love and kindness she has for dogs, my dogs will be in good hands with Maddy.”
About: I’ve owned a number of well-trained dogs over the years and all of my friends always comment about how much animals love me! I take care of a number of friends/ acquaintances pets while they are away. I teach full time so I work until 5:30 Monday-Friday but I’m off the clock any time other than that! I’m also able to potty during break. I house/ pet sitting for a number of people in my personal life so I’m accustomed to adapting to whatever lifestyle your pet may need!
“Anne took care of our cats on very short notice. She did a great job with the cats, and other house-related tasks (bringing in mail and packages, rolling trash cans out to the curb, etc.) We will definitely be using Anne again to watch the cats next time we're out of town.”
“Tori did such a wonderful job with the house visits for my two cats when I went out of town. She's friendly, kind and my cats loved her. I will definitely be re-booking with her in the near future!”
About: I am a registered nurse in Minneapolis who is looking to pet sit/walk on my days off. I grew up with cats and dogs my entire life, and I was one of the main caretakers for them. I also sit for my coworkers, family, and friends when needed. I am very active and love to bring pets on long/short walks and runs. I work as a registered nurse who works 2-3 12 hour shifts a week. I have many off days to care for your pet for the entire day. I have a fenced yard and safe neighborhood for walking. My house is very clean and decluttered so no animals would get into anything to harm them.
“Kolleen was so helpful to do drop-ins for a few days while we were away and our primary dog watcher was at work during the day. As a beagle owner she understood our crazy beagles very well and I could tell they were excited to see her each day from the photos she sent! She made sure to capture their cutest angles too! I would absolutely trust her again with our dogs for boarding or a drop in visit!”
“Carla is amazing with our cat, Skol! She is a great communicator and we know skol is in good hands when we’re gone. Definitely recommend using her for your pet sitting needs!!”
“I love Annalise. I KNOW my dog will be entertained and cared for when she watches him. I never worry, which is such a relief. So thank you, again, for being there for him and us.”
“Jamie was so great! Lovely to work with, took lots of photos and provided a great update! Would highly recommend Jamie. We only had her come for one visit, but will surely be reaching out to her in the future!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Saint Louis Park is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Louis Park
Evelyn was great. We trusted her to enter our home and watch over Zues and Nova our two dogs while we were out of town and she did not dissapoint. Always gave updates and played with them. They both looked well taken care of We will be booking her in the future.
Ava did an awesome job taking care of our kitty Winnie while we were away! She was so attentive and provided detailed feedback each day about how things were going. She watched over our house and watered our flowers as well. She also drew an adorable picture of our girl. Would highly recommend!!
Susan did a wonderful job keeping an eye on my two cats while I was away for four days. She sent updates and photos, gave them their special treats every day, followed my instructions to a "T" and even offered to pick up more of their favorite food when I ran low. Lovely person, and great job. Will definitely hire 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.
I feel lucky to have found someone just blocks away to watch my two cats. I am new to the city and do not know my neighbors yet. Eleanor was easy to communicate with, came over ahead of time to meet the cats, and kept things under control in a heat wave. It was a huge peace of mind to know my pets were cared for while I was gone.
It is a relief when we know that Annalise can watch our cat when we are away. She’s very conscientious – she knows a lot about pets – in fact, she made a suggestion about my cat’s diet, which has really made an improvement – she does it in a nice humble way. Highly recommend.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Saint Louis Park on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,886 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Louis Park. 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 Saint Louis Park 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 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.
