About: I’ve been a dog mom to my Golden Retriever, Ellie, since I was 9 years old, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Along with raising Ellie, I’ve also helped care for family and friends’ pets over the years, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and routines. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. Whether they love long walks, playing outside, or just getting lots of attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the week. Outside of class, I have availability for walks, drop in visits, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being active, so spending time with animals fits naturally into my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I will care for them with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own dogs. I will always follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and provide a safe, calm, and caring environment.
“First time Rover user & I found the perfect person for my dogs. Marissa is so sweet and did a fantastic job taking care of my 10 year old boy, and my very scheduled 13 year old diabetic girl. Marissa sent me pictures at 6am and 6pm on the dot showing me that she gave my Mia girl her insulin right on schedule. Traveling with diabetic dog at home is hard, and she was able to put me at ease. I will continue to use her for any and all future trips that allow!”
“Jayden is WONDERFUL! She cared for our sweet baby for a full week with the utmost diligence, love and kindness. Will absolutely be using her services in the future! Kept us informed and updated daily!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I have had my dog since 2019. I pet sit for friends and family whenever needed. Our pets are so important and it’s hard being away from them! I would make sure I take care of your dog like I care for my own. I work from home full time but have the ability to work from anywhere there is internet available. Evening and morning walks are ideal during the days that I work. I’m off Saturday/Sunday/Monday I will follow any rules that you have for your pets. Everyone cares for their pets a little differently so it’s important to keep that routine. Going on walks if the dog is used to a leash or playing in the backyard is okay with me. I currently walk my own medium size dog on a leash daily as well as exercise at the dog park.
“Ryann did a great job taking care of Henry Hound Dog (our big 80 lb hound) for a long weekend and giving him a calm and fun weekend We were thrilled Henry was calm & happy despite storms too”
About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m extremely passionate about their care, health, and overall well-being. I also have hands-on experience with professional dog grooming, including bathing, blow-drying, brushing, dematting, scissoring, and shaving. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, great at following detailed instructions, and prioritize clear communication with every owner. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I feed a group of 14 animals everyday for a older couple that can no longer do it themselves (or no longer prefers to lol) and that takes 2-3 hours of my evening leaving my basically fully available to fit in additional pet care all throughout the day. I am very passionate about adequate pet care. believe when it comes to caring for pets that trust is the foundation for it all. So when caring for a pet I believing following introductions and routines exactly, this helps the pet adjust and trust me a lot faster as they know I know their routine. My typical day with my dogs consists of waking up and going outside and just hanging out for a little, then I will give them breakfast and give them fresh water, after they are finished eating I clean their food bowl as well, and to end our morning routine I finish with a walk. Our afternoons usually consist of be doing any tasks or errands and when I’m home we will play with toys and hangout on the couch. The evenings usually is the same routine as the morning.

“We couldn’t ask for a better Rover than Adriana. She took her duties seriously taking great care of our dog Delilah while staying at our house. Very professional and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Great experience! Ryan was very kind, professional, and took great care of our dog for the weekend. It was so nice to leave our dog in her own home for the weekend, knowing she was in his care. House looked great and we will definitely be utilizing him again!”
“Latasha was wonderful with our pets, Pepper and Lily, during the 5 days she cared for them. She provided regular updates and kept us informed about how they were doing, including their food intake, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was very attentive to both of their individual needs. Lily is an indoor/outdoor cat who likes to spend time outside during the day, and Latasha was very accommodating to her routine while making sure Lily was safely inside by nighttime. She also took great care of Pepper and made sure both of our pets were comfortable and well cared for. We also really appreciated how thoughtful she was with our home. She kept everything clean and tidy, brought in our mail, and even left a few little goodies for us when we returned, which was such a sweet surprise! Latasha was caring, responsible, communicative, and clearly went above and beyond. We felt very comfortable knowing Pepper and Lily were in her care, and we would absolutely have her sit for them again. Highly recommend Latasha!”
“Makayla did an amazing job staying with both of our dogs. Our dogs unfortunately were sick when we left and she was extremely accommodating on ensuring our dogs took their medication. While also communicating how they were doing while we were gone. Would highly recommend her and plan on using Makayla again.”
About: I've had animals my whole life and currently have 3 dogs (2 huskies & a cattle dog, pit mix). I've had dogs, cats, a ferret, and some rodents growing up. I've always had a love for animals and have researched multiple animal topics on my own for many years! I worked in a vet office in the kennel for 2 years and have experience on the medical side. I trained my youngest husky all on my own, including kennel training, potty training, and obedience training, and grooming assistance. While I still have a full-time job until I get established I'll only be available in the evenings/nights for walks and overnights as I work 8-hour shifts at a time. Once I get established I will be available any time of day and any day of the week, except for maybe 1 or 2 hours on Wednesdays. I care for all animals as if they were my own. I always leave it how it was when I got there, if not better. I do my best to keep them in the same routine their owners have them in. I don't mind helping with other small tasks on the side for an extra fee.
About: I have professional experience as a daycare manager in a boarding facility. I have cared for puppies, elderly dogs, and pups of many temperaments. Plus, I have photography experience - so you’re guaranteed to get some amazing pictures. Pet sitting is my full time occupation, so your pups will get my undivided attention while in my care. For overnight care, I may need to leave briefly to drop in on other pups at their home. I am very diligent about keeping your home secure while you are away. I can assure you that you will return to a home that is just as you left it.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Saint Paul walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Saint Paul maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
