About: I have been caring for a variety of animals for my entire life, animals have always played a big part in my world! I enjoy talking my own dogs on long walks to give them time to investigate the world like I get to! I believe in giving all animals, no matter the size, a joyful life and am excited to adventure with your fury friends! I am currently on summer break, so my days are very open. I teach Pre-K in Saint Paul and would love to fill my day doing something I enjoy while I have the time to do so. I have a large fenced in back yard and a fun neighborhood to adventure through, if the care takes place in my space. In your space, I will remain respectful and responsible to your belonging and follow guidelines as to how your pet will be treated and cared for.
About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.
“Natalie did great with my special-needs cat. I was short on time due to a different pet sitter canceling last-minute, and Natalie handled all of my requests perfectly. Will definitely book again.”
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid. In middle school, I began taking care of family & friends’ dogs. I love spending quality time with dogs, getting to know their unique personalities, and honoring their needs. I am also an experienced dog groomer who values building a bond of trust with pets and their families. I am a full-time student from September-May. I work part-time during the summer, so I generally have more time to spend with your pet throughout the week. I play organ and sing at various churches every weekend, which occupies my Saturday evenings & Sunday mornings. I also practice music every weekday morning. My home does not allow for pets, so I will be happy to stay in your home and take care of your dog in the environment they know best.
About: I have over 2 years of experience working at dog daycares! With both cats and dogs. I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat at home! I have experience administering medicine as I worked at a dog daycare in Fargo for 2 years. Additionally, I have experience de-escalating dangerous situations with animals and have been trained in animal CPR and first aid. I feed my cat at the same times every day and make sure to always find time to play with her. Pet care is naturally a part of my daily routine and I am very well organized and flexible enough to be able to add more. I would care for the pets in your home by following your instructions/guidelines and treating them how I would want my animals to be treated.
About: I have cared for pets ever since I can remember. I grew up with Labrador retrievers and was always wondering how I could enrich their life next. My involvement in the 4h Dog project when I was younger and my continuing passion for animals lead me to peruse my bachelor's in Companion Animal sciences at UW- River Falls. Since, I have spent the last 5 years as a Pet Stylist in Woodbury. My 2 year old Miniature American Shepherd, Goose, and I have trained in obedience, agility, barn hunt and more. I am working as a Pet Stylist 4 days a week. I would be available to watch your pet most weeknights, as well as during the day om Thursday's and Friday's! I am currently not able to take pets into my home, but I will be very happy to keep your pet happy and comfortable in yours!
“Heather is an amazing petsitter! Our dog immediately decided Heather is her new BFF and loved her instantly! Heather came to our house to hang out with Holly and sent us pictures and updates. Heather was easy to talk to and really cares about animals. If you need someone to care for your pet, Heather is your person!”
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.
“Paige was wonderful with our kitties. They were happy when we returned, so we could tell they'd gotten lots of snuggles. And she pilled our senior cat twice a day, which isn't the easiest task. We'll definitely reach out to her again!”
About: I love all animals and owning dogs, a cat and a rabbit myself, working professionally as a kennel hand and trainer, and caring for some other fuzzy friends during my day-to-day makes me a great choice for most of your doggie day (or evening!) care. I spend lots of time at our local dog park and our own back yard exercising my pups. I have experience professionally training working and hunting dogs, and taking care of puppies and elderly dogs. The main thing I hope to achieve with your dog is to have some fun, get myself some extra exercise and hopefully be a good companion for your dog while you’re away If you have any further questions or want references, feel free to message me, thank you! I work a full time job remotely, so I often have free time during the week and during the evenings, especially for house/pet sitting in other’s homes. I like to fill that time with Rover I will be hanging out with your furry friends and try to follow their cues as far as plans go! I do know CPR for dogs and am familiar with injection and other medication administration for both dogs and cats. Any special instructions on how you care for your pets will be followed. Thunderstorm, anxiety, and firework situations are also understandable and can be accommodated. I will comfort them as best as l can! *CONSTANT CARE RATES IE: IF YOUR PET CANNOT BE LEFT ALONE FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME EXCLUDING ANY WALKS, PLEASE INFORM ME PRIOR TO BOOKING/CONFIRMATION
“Kelsey was absolutely great! She sent me updates several times over the drop in visits, and sent me videos, and pictures. She did wonderful with my June Bug. Look forward to having her continue drop ins in the future!”
“I was super nervous leaving my dog with someone, but Lacie was super responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures! Kai seemed to love her! Will definitely be booking again in the future :)”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs and cats in my household all throughout my life and have pet sat for many different breeds and ages. I am my family and friends go-to when they need help with their animals as I understand that every pet comes with different care needs. I value the importance of giving your pet a comfortable experience while you are away, they are your family! I know what it’s like to be away and worried about your baby. I work a hybrid 9-5 schedule, so 2 of the weekdays I’d be able to work remote and stay with your pet through the full day. Weekends as well. I will make sure follow your specifications of your pets normal daily habits as best of my ability to make their experience as smooth as possible.
About: My first German Shepard, Sheeba, trotted into my life when I was 4, and my intense, burning passion for dogs ignited. I’ve had them throughout my life and have yet to meet a dog I didn’t adore. Basically, I’m the guy at house parties in the office alone smooshing your pup’s face and giving them belly rubs. I’m comfortable with all sorts of breeds and temperaments. I work remote in a deadline based job that offers me some excellent flexibility. I’m able to be on site with your dog throughout the day, ensuring they get plenty of attention and outside time. When I’m caring for your dog, I’m caring for your family member. I know firsthand the amount of trust it takes to allow someone to be responsible for your loved one(s) and respect your property, and I don’t take that lightly.
About: I have lived with and taken care of a variety of animals my whole life. I have had dogs, cats, and even rats. I am very comfortable around them. I am looking to spend more time with animals. I am available all five days of the week. I am flexible as to what time of day. To let your dog out, I will put it on a leash and take it outside. If you occasionally crate your dog when inside, I will be able to accomodate that as well.
“Melissa did great with my energetic and anxious dog. She was thoughtful and responsive prior to dropping in on him. Loved getting the updates. Definitely recommend and hope to use her services again.”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have always been an animal lover. I’ve worked at a pet boarding facility (The Paw), and I’ve worked in veterinary clinics as a veterinary assistant (Apache Animal Hospital). My husband, Thomas, and I both live in our duplex property with our dog, Jojo, and our cat, Jack-Jack. I’d love to be a reliable caretaker for your pet when you need it! My work schedule is flexible, so I am easily able to step away to take my dog out for potty breaks and walks. I work from home 4 days a week, and my husband works from home 5 days a week. Our yard is fully fenced in, so your dog can safely roam outside. I don't crate my dog at home, but if that is what your dog is used to I am happy to accommodate whatever would make them most comfortable.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Saint Paul is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Paul
Kelsey was fantastic! Ollie and Lola loved her. She left the house in great shape and we had aproplem with a complaining neighbor (who always complains) that the dogs barked and Kelsey had too many dogs to walk so Kelsey spent the night! Very flexible. She sent photos! I'd hire her again in a heartbeat.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful meet and greet with Xinia. She was calm, polite, and very attentive. She had clearly taken the time to read Mr. Grey’s profile beforehand, which I truly appreciated — it showed thoughtfulness and preparation. She listened carefully to all directions and asked great clarifying questions. I especially valued how reassuring she was regarding the Rover app and confirming our repeat weekly walks while I’m at work. As a pet parent transitioning back to a full-time leadership role, that reassurance meant a lot. She was prompt (actually early!), professional, and has a grounded presence that felt like a great fit for Mr. Grey. I feel confident moving forward with her and look forward to a consistent routine for him. Highly recommend!
Hannah was absolutely fantastic with our pups over the weekend! She did great with administering oral medication to our senior dog and arrived on time and stayed the full length of the visit for every visit. Our dogs love her and we can’t wait to book with her next time!
We couldn’t be happier with the care our pets received while we were away. She went above and beyond for all of our furry family making sure they were well-fed, loved, and kept on their routines. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also kept us updated with messages and photos, which meant so much while we were gone. We came home to very happy and relaxed pets. We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their pets.
Jill was fantastic! Leaving our pets at home and being gone for a week was difficult. We felt better every time Jill stopped in to check on them and provided us with updates and pics. I cannot say enough good things about Jill and the peace of mind she provided.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 5,644 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Saint Paul. 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 Paul 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.
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 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 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.
To find sitters in Saint Paul with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Paul. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
