“Abigail was fantastic! It was an initial meet and greet for her to watch our pups and house for a night, and our dogs loved her IMMEDIATELY. She asked all the right questions, and made us feel certain that our pups and house were in great hands.”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs since high school. I have dog sat at many homes and have had dogs in my own home as well. I am currently working full-time but do work from home on Fridays. My partner works 0.3 miles from our home and comes home for lunch everyday. I am home from work around 5pm everyday. I have two fur babies that can keep your fur baby(ies) company while you are away. They are very friendly towards other dogs! We have a big back yard to play. We offer snuggles on the couch and in bed. Walks are necessary and the deck in the back is great for some sun!
“My cat was so calm when I came back from my trip. That tells me in her two 1-hour visits Alex gave him the TLC and attention he needed while I was away. She sent pictures and updates to me while she visited which was very nice. Highly recommend!”
“Morgan was fantastic! I was out of town and the person I had to watch my dog fell through and she went over and took care of Zoie. She took pictures and let me know everything went great. I will definitely be asking Morgan to help out again.”
“Great communication - wonderful about picture taking! Would have Mary back again any time!! She was even great about getting the boys to go potty in the rain - and that is not an easy task.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner since the age of 8. I love taking dogs on walks, pet sitting and especially taking my dog to the off the leash dog park where she is happiest. I’m very good with all types of dogs and very patient. My wife calls me the dog whisperer. My weeknights are free and weekends are free. My wife works the opposite schedule as me so she is available during the day. It works for both dog walking and pet sitting. I have a very sweet Alaskan Husky who loves going to the dog park and is very sweet and very good with all types of dogs. We have a fenced in backyard and a pet friendly home. We have three kids who love dogs and 1 dog of our own. We love caring for dogs and getting them (and me) plenty of exercise.
About: Though I’m new to Rover, I've watched animals for friends, family, and employers for the past 10 years and would love to chat with you to see if I can help you with yours. As a former receptionist at an emergency vet clinic and with extensive experience with my own fur babies, I'm very aware of the health risks to both cats and dogs and have training in recognizing signs of distress. I will work with you to establish an emergency plan beforehand if you are going on extended trips. I also have experience with several vets in the area and even bringing animals to the animal chiropractor. I know that every animal's personality is unique, and routines are important for managing stress. My goal is to be that trustworthy, consistent, and dependable addition to your animal's care team. We always had multiple cats and dogs at one time in my family home growing up. They were more than my animals; they were my brothers and sisters and beloved friends. I've loved and cared for 3 of my cats and 2 of my dogs into their senior years and through medical complications. I have experience with administering medications, including insulin to cats, animals with arthritis, and care after major procedures. I currently have open availability during weekdays M-F. I'm here to provide weekday support via check-ins and walks for busy families, as well as support with home visits if you are on vacation. I do work weekends, so my availability over weekends is limited. I respect all house rules and work with you to get every detail of care, big or small. You set how many updates you’d like to receive when away, but it’s standard for me to write a document of all activity and behavior after each of my visits for you and your vet to reference at any time. I’m happy to do initial home visits to make sure care works for us both.
“First time Rover user and I picked Lauren based on her 5-star reviews. Lauren was great, she is super nice, she paid attention to some dog specific things, and most importantly the dogs loved her. She is highly recommended and I definitely will be using her again in the future.”
“Kelly did such an amazing job with our pups, gave our cat some snugs and grabbed eggs from our quail and stored them in cartons we had made available. She is very kind and you can tell she really loves animals, and ours loved her. I would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have always had a deep love for them. When I was little, I had a Rhodesian Ridgeback named Bravo and a Tortoiseshell cat named Jayden who were a huge part of my childhood. Bravo was very protective of me when I was a baby and young girl, and Jayden was my playful little companion… we would spend hours playing together and just being in our own world. I currently have an English Springer Spaniel that I’ve had for 7 years, and caring for him has given me a lot of hands-on experience and responsibility. I’ve also participated in dog shows and have experience with showmanship, training him and working with him especially when he was a puppy, which taught me a lot about consistency, patience, and understanding dog behavior. My daily routine includes multiple walks a day, feeding, grooming, bath time when needed, and making sure he’s happy, active, and well cared for. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with dogs of all energy levels and personalities. I’m reliable, attentive, and I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time outside, so walks and drop-in visits feel natural for me. I always treat every dog like they’re my own and make their comfort and safety my top priority. I currently don’t have a fixed job schedule, as I may be called in for a golf cart girl position in mid-July or mid-August. I’m able to be flexible with my availability depending on when I’m needed for that job. I also have a planned trip from July 17th through July 21st, during which I will be unavailable. I understand how important trust is when it comes to caring for someone’s dog. I always make sure pets are treated with patience, kindness, and consistency so they feel safe and comfortable with me. At home, I care for my own dog daily, which includes regular walks, feeding, grooming, playtime, and bath time when needed. I pay close attention to his routine and behavior to make sure he’s healthy, happy, and well cared for. Because I’ve been responsible for my own dog for years, I’m very familiar with creating a calm, positive environment for animals. I always prioritize safety, clear routines, and giving dogs the attention and care they need while their owners are away.
About: I absolutely love dogs, grew up with a Shih Tzu Poodle and now my mom has a pure bred Shih Tzu that I steal from time to time (see picture). My boyfriend’s family has an English setter and a blue healer, so I love hunting/high energy dogs as well! I do work in office Mondays, Wednesdays and some Fridays which is about an hour commute. I am usually gone from 7:30-5 ish, so dogs who can be alone for that long work out well. I work fully from home Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can let them out whenever on those days. I live in a 2,200 sq ft town home, and a half fenced in yard. Just me and my boyfriend live here so no kids or other animals will be around. We do allow dogs on the furniture and they can sleep with us if they’d like, we like to snuggle
About: Having animals in my life has been a constant source of joy and companionship. From playful moments to nurturing care, my journey with pets have been filled with love and laughter. I currently work full time from home! I am able to leave at any time to check in, play, feed, walk or just love on your pet! I have a fenced in yard with two dogs and one cat! Both are very friendly dogs and very friendly cat (with lots of sass).
“Osha did a great job taking care of my Surlee while I was away on holiday. He followed all my instructions, relieving me of any concern. I will gladly call upon him when needed. Book with confidence!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for pets my whole life. I used to care for my neighbors cats, dogs and children! I have a masters degree in early childhood so I have an immense amount of patience. I am an elementary school teacher, so on the week days I am available after 5pm. My weekends are more open- let me know what you and your pet need and we can work something out! My boyfriend and I have two cats; Flash Gordon and Stevie Louise. They are the most spoiled kitties and I offer the same treatment and love to any other animals I meet.
About: Ive been caring for dogs for a cumulative of 8+ years. We have a 5 year old goldendoodle. I am available for meal time, play time, potty breaks, walks and more. I work out of my home so I do not have a commute to tie me up. I am available for drop-in visits before and after work as well as on the weekends I will care for your pet from your home via drop-in visits. I will provide daily updates and photos. I will ensure your home is secured upon exit.
About: We love animals and have years experience caring for many types of animals. Whether we are welcoming them into our home or taking them for a walk, your pet will get the best care. Our home is pet friendly. We live a half a block from walking trails and a large open grassy area which is great for running and fetch. After a long walk or game of fetch, frosty paws (if allowed) for all before taking a rest. Daily walks and multiple bathroom stops are available. Pets are free to roam the house. If we come into your home for a walk or check in, we are respectful and responsible. We’ve had the opportunity to pet sit for many friends and family. We look forward to meeting you and loving up your pet! We are a family that works different shifts meaning someone is home mostly all the time. We have a 15 year old daughter who loves animals. We have our own dog who is a big part of our family. We are a teacher and nurse with a 15 year old daughter. We have had animals in our home for years. Your animal will get lots of love!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Michael
Brandi was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment we met, she was friendly, reliable, and clearly experienced with animals. She took great care to follow my pup’s routine, sent plenty of updates and photos, and went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and loved while I was away. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog and that says everything about the level of care she provides. I highly recommend Brandi to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾

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 Michael stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Saint Michael choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
