“Jill is so great. She is very loving to all animals and takes great care of them. I appreciated the thorough write up and pictures of my cats after her visit. I would definitely recommend Jill to anyone needing someone to care for their pets!”
“Mauren is amazing! She stepped in on very short notice to help us out, and handled our 2 large dogs like a pro! She sent lots of pictures and videos, and our dogs seem to really love her. I look forward to having her back in the future!”
“Michelle was a great first sitter to have as an introduction to Rover! She was communicative and shared lots of pictures, and kept our sweet boy from getting lonely and sad!”
“Lindsay took good care of our skittish and shy cat while we were out of town and even got her comfortable enough to come out a little. Her communication was great and we appreciated the pictures. Thank you, Lindsay!”
“Kelsey did a great job caring for our two kitties. She was responsive and communicative and very easy to work with. We received photos and written updates at every visit. We will happily use her again when our neighbor children are unavailable.”
About: I've had cats since I was a child. Neighbors, roommates, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of pets when they are gone. This has included feeding at a specific time in a specific way and at times giving medication. With a former roommate, I also found and rescued a young female cat during law school, and she turned out to be pregnant. We bathed and brushed her several times to get rid of fleas, got her spayed after pregnancy, and rehomed the kittens. I've had my own cat for a few years now, and I understand needing to maintain their routine and monitoring diet to address issues such as regurgitation of food due to poor city water quality or eating too fast or sensitive stomach issues. I am an attorney and can visit the cats in the mornings and evenings and during the weekend at regular times and ensure they receive love and playtime. I do not care for pets in my home, as my apartment is too small and my cat is more of an only child. However, I am very much able to spend at least a couple hours each day with my clients' cat(s) to feed them, maintain cleanliness of their spaces, play with them with their favorite toys, and give them pets as each cat prefers.
“Paige was so sweet with our cats! She was patient and knew how to read their body language. She took the extra time to give them treats and pets and was very thorough. She provided detailed updates and pictures from her visits which were so fun to see while we were gone. Would definitely recommend!”
“I booked Danielle for a daily check-in with my two cats while I was on a trip. She sent pics of them every day and obviously they love her very much! I would definitely rebook with Danielle in the future!”
About: I am new to Rover, but I have many years of experience in taking care of animals. In addition to living with cats and dogs for most of my life, I have also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society. In addition to pets, I also volunteered at the Wildlife Science Center with feeding animals such as foxes, raccoons, bobcats, a lynx, and skunks, and I had the opportunity to care for wolf pups at the International Wolf Center. I am recently retired, so my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and most evenings and am able to work around your schedule. I currently have two cats and previously had dogs, so I understand the importance of keeping them on a regular schedule. Being around animals gives me joy, so I look forward to spending quality time with your pet. I follow your instructions and make sure to follow your pet’s lead when interacting with them. I send you pictures, so you can see how your pet is doing when you are away. I can also check mail and water plants if needed.
“Hannah was so great with our cats (one very timid, one very playful) and even helped put a cone on one of the cats which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals and having them around has always been a normal part of my day-to-day life. I’m comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and way of feeling comfortable. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attention throughout the day, keep up with regular walks and feeding schedules, and spend time with pets rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or would rather relax nearby while I work, I’m happy to adapt to what they’re used to at home. I offer both boarding in my home and house sitting, and my priority is making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your normal routines and instructions closely and provide regular updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home throughout most of the day and can provide regular walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I want pets to feel safe and comfortable while they’re in my care, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and household routines, and I’m happy to accommodate crates or other routines your pet is used to. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Jenna was awesome! Really helped me out with a short notice need. Dropped in to visit with my silly border collie. Followed instructions and communicated perfectly and sent great pictures!”
About: I grew up on a dairy farm, and have been around many different animals over the years. I started out pet sitting for friends of family members, and families in my local community in my spare time. I have also taken care of a few senior pets over the years by making sure they get their right medications and foods throughout my stay. I also help take care of farm animals, outdoor bird feeders, along with indoor and outdoor plant watering and care. I currently have two cats, Scooter and Goose and they are my world. I am currently working about 20-25 hours a week. My current job is very flexible with hours and time that would allow me to stop in a care for your pets. I am available to do a few days, with the possibility of extending that period of time. I would be able to stop in and care for your pets before I head to work for the day (roughly 4 to 8 hours regularly, but can be flexible) and again after I am done with work for the day before engaging in any activities or turning in for the evening. I am open to stopping in daily and caring for you pets in your home as I dont have much space while I am currently living in the city with roommates and multiple pets in our household. If your pet has a favorite park, or yard to play in, I would be happy to engage in their favorite activities hwith them in those places.
“Our dogs are happy when we leave so they can have their BFF Sharron come to play! Wipes away the guilt of being away when they feel like they’re on their own vacation.”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat while we were out of town. We loved getting our daily Pickles update and she was a happy cat when we got home!”
“Sara has taken care of our kitties a couple of times now, she is on it! She cuddles them, gives them treats and makes sure everything is clean. She even took our stinky garbage out for us when we forgot.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Saint Paul is $20
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Paul
Jill is the pet sitting equivalent of the cool aunt! She rolls into town and spoils my cats with treats, cuddles, petting and everything they love for what appears to be a very action packed visit with my boys. I can tell they are in love with her and showing off for her in the pictures that she sends me. It’s great knowing they are in such good hands and makes it easier for me to leave them behind.
Paige continues to be a great sitter for our pets! It’s great being able to relax when we’re out of town knowing that our furry kids are well cared for and excited when she comes through the door. Communications are always great and the care card updates help us see how happy the dogs are.
Michelle took fantastic care of our two dogs and a cat! She came over to meet our animals she’d of time and review their needs and care. She was great with all The animals and her care shone through! She was on time, communication was ongoing throughout our trip and we chatted about any updates and any issues while we were away! Fully recommend and we will have Michelle watch our animals again!
Shayla did an excellent job taking care of our 3 cats! They are all senior cats with three different foods for each of their special needs and medications for one of them. Fresh water was in their bowls, litter boxes were cleaned, mail brought in & plants watered. We will definately request Shayla again for our next time away!
Sara took wonderful care of our cat who can be quite shy. We came home to a happy kitty. Communication was great with daily photos, some even included the elusive cat. Sara even took care of putting peanuts out for the blue jays in our feeder. Highly recommend Sara and would gladly rebook.
Amanda took such great care of our cats while we were away! I got great photos during each visit and everything was so well taken care of while we were gone! One of our cats is very nervous and has never really come out for other sitters, but came out for Amanda each time which I think really speaks to how comfortable she made our cats feel during each visit! Couldn't be more appreciative and more happy with the care Amanda provided to our kitties! 😸
Julie was fantastic! She clearly understands cat body language and genuinely enjoys spending time with cats, which was very important to us. Our cat, Pepper, is extremely social, and it was obvious Julie enjoyed visiting and playing with her. She also took so many adorable, high-quality photos during each visit, which gave us peace of mind and made being away from Pepper much easier. Julie followed all of our care instructions carefully, including Pepper's feeding routine, and kept the litter boxes clean throughout our trip. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We're extremely satisfied with Julie's care and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She's someone you can absolutely trust to take excellent care of your cat.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Saint Paul on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
