“Erin has been a huge blessing for us and our dog! She has always arrived right on time and has taken the time and patience to convince our older, anxious golden doodle to be friends. We are always nervous leaving our spoiled, attention seeking girl home alone but knowing Erin is stopping in for visits to play or have a potty break makes us feel more comfortable and relaxed knowing she's in good hands!”

“Dakota appears to have checked all boxes requested! Cats are older and pretty inactive, but i see no problems at all. Communication was steady and reliable. Thanks Dakota! Planning on using her in the very near future if she is available.”
About: In my family, while growing up, there was an unwritten requirement that we have at least two dogs - and a cat - at all times. Because of this, I was raised feeding, walking, training and, most importantly, loving (or should I say "worshipping"?) furry friends. Although I do not own a pet at the moment, I stay busy walking and caring for other folks' lovies and have fostered and adopted rescue dogs and cats in the past. I am a teacher so I leave earlyish but return home earlyish as well which gives me time to spend with a furry friend in their humans' homes. Walking, playing, and hanging with dogs and cats are things I enjoy and do well. It makes life better! I am an "early to bed and early to rise" homebody who loves to.hang and play with my furry clients Your pup and/or kitty will get lots of attention. I like to provide a good variety of items which include walks, parks, bones, games, treats. You could say that I generally adore my dog and cat clients.
About: Hi! My name is Quinn and I’ve been caring for my own dogs for over 10 years and have extensive experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with nervous, reactive, and senior dogs, and I understand the patience and care they need—my own dog is a senior, too. I’m currently completing a dog training apprenticeship, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality while helping them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I strive to provide compassionate, reliable care that’s tailored to every dog’s individual needs. I’m also proud to offer a welcoming, inclusive environment and am LGBTQ+ (queer and trans) and disability friendly. I currently work hybrid and have plenty of time to be inclusive of many schedules! I also will be moving to part time work which will open my schedule even more I always tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine and needs. Before each booking, I like to learn about their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, favorite activities, and any medical or behavioral considerations so I can provide consistent, low-stress care. In a client’s home, I treat both their pets and their home with the utmost respect. I’ll follow all care instructions closely, provide plenty of love, enrichment, walks or playtime as appropriate, administer medications if needed, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and safe.

I have two high energy dogs, one of which can be reactive and a trouble maker. Natalie was patient, understanding, and excited to hang out with them for a couple hours while we were out for the day. She was responsive with communication, on time, and sent lots of pictures to let us know everything was going well. I would definitely enlist her help again!

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.

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.
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 Paul 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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
