“Kacy is the best dog sitter we've had! She takes incredible care of our dogs, both dogs are very comfortable with her, she sends daily updates, and she leaves our house perfectly clean. I highly recommend Kacy!”
About: I have had 6 years of experience as a vet technician and 10 years of experience with pet sitting. I have always had a close bond with animals throughout my life. I am comfortable with administering medications and any special instructions a pet may need during my time sitting. I love sending updates throughout my visit if the parent would like to receive them. Currently, I am a dental hygiene student, which entails attending classes from the morning until late afternoon on weekdays. I typically dedicate my time to studying both weekdays and weekends, ensuring ample opportunities to spend time with your fur baby/babies I’m great at following instructions and making sure everything is done carefully during my visit. I always respect people’s space and privacy when I’m in their home. I’m also a very tidy person and will tidy up or clean anything I use or touch.
About: Hi, I’m Mollie! I am a lifelong animal and nature lover, and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies. My goal is to give your pets the exercise, care, and attention they need while giving you the security of knowing your pets are safe and cared for. I have had and cared for many different dogs in my life, including high energy, senior, and anxious dogs. I’d love to meet you and your pets! I am not currently in school or going back anytime soon. I work full time but have time everyday in between my shifts working at a daycare, and afterwards, including some weekends. I would love to take care of your pets anytime I can! I have a fenced in backyard, bowls for food and water, leashes, and a whole lot of love and attention to give to your animals! I will use anything needed and/or provided as well! It is also my top priority to make sure what you and your pets need is always taken care of. I have 1 very friendly and energetic dog who loves to play!
“Kailey was the best cat sitter for our 5 month old kitten Cora! Cora has never been home alone before but Kailey made it a great experience for everyone and made sure to send us text and picture updates everytime she stopped by. A great first Rover experience for us and Cora.”
“I've already rebooked with Ruth. We did a meet and greet with the pups since I have one that is very skiddish and is hesitant with strangers and by the end of the visit my pup would sit on the couch with Ruth! I felt very good knowing my pups were safe and being looked after while I was gone. She was phenomenal with the timing of my travels and wonderfully respectful of my home. I am beyond excited to have a reliable dog sitter, highly recommend!”
“Kyle is very comfortable and confident around dogs, which Gus could pick up on. Gus took to him immediately. He has that easy going approach of someone who has been around dogs most of his life. We will book Kyle again and I would recommend him to others.”

Services I Offer Whether it's taking your dog for a walk, stopping by to feed and spend time with your cat, or making sure your fish are fed and cared for, I'm happy to help! I'm also glad to follow your pet's regular routines and any specific care instructions. My Experience I have personal experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own personality, routines, and needs. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to make sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Why Choose Me? I'm patient, attentive, dependable, and responsible. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat yours with the same kindness and care I'd want for my own. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands while you're away. Qualifications While I don't offer specialized veterinary or training services, I'm happy to follow your instructions and provide attentive, loving everyday care.

I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or finned!) family members! My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets.

I'm generally available throughout the week and can work with you to arrange morning, afternoon, or evening visits. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I'll do my best to provide consistent, dependable care that fits your schedule. I appreciate advance notice when possible, but I'm also happy to discuss last-minute needs depending on availability! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my priority. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that makes them feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I'll respect your space, follow your instructions, and do my best to keep their normal routine consistent. I'll make sure doors and gates are secure, pets are supervised appropriately, and food, water, and other necessities are taken care of. I believe communication is important, so I'll keep you updated with messages and pictures while you're away. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pets are being cared for with patience, attention, and love.
“Allyson was great with Sadie. She is normally a shy dog, but she warmed right up to Allyson and was cuddling with her in no time she kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend using Allyson to take care of your dog she is great”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I have experience watching dogs overnight for a week-long timespan, and their owner was very happy with the service that I provided. My household has 4 big dogs (Leonbergers) and a corgi, all of which I assist in care for and watch alone. I have done 4-H with dogs, doing rally and showmanship. I have helped to deliver and take care of newborn puppies, and raise them from birth. I am available to sit for pets any time, as I am currently an online college student. I am more than happy to take care of your pets anytime that you need! I know the importance of exercise and movement for dogs, so we let our dogs free in our big yard. I like playing with dogs and going on walks with them. I also am careful to look for any signs something is wrong with a dog.
“Ryan went above and beyond what I would expect a dog sitter to do. My 16 year old pup was sick while Ryann watched her. He took her to the vet and also bought her baby food which the vet suggested since she had stopped eating. He kept me well informed through her illness and I came home to a much healthier pup! I will definitely be hiring him again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds. From tiny puppies to big adventure buddies, I’ve always been the one in charge of walking them, caring for them, and making sure they feel safe and loved. Since I was young, I’ve helped care for family and friends’ dogs, and I’ve gained lots of hands-on experience with puppies along the way. I truly love dogs, and I’d be excited to give yours the same attention and care I give my own! I work part-time Tuesday through Thursday, and I’m usually done by 12 PM, which means I have lots of free time to spend with your pets! 🐾My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and making sure your furry friend gets plenty of attention. Outside of work, I love spending time with animals, so pet care fits perfectly into my routine. Whether your pup needs a midday adventure, some company while you’re away, or just someone to spoil them with belly rubs and treats, I’m happy to help! 🐶🐱💛 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! 🐾 Since I live in an apartment, I’ll be providing care in your home and taking your pets on walks rather than bringing them to my place. When I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your pet stays in a safe and comfortable environment. For walks, I’ll always keep your pet’s safety in mind by using their leash properly, paying attention to our surroundings, and following any special instructions you provide. I also want your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, so I’ll take the time to build trust, give them plenty of attention, and make their time with me as happy and stress-free as possible. 🐶🐱💛
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.
“Aubrey is absolutely amazing. We feel so comfortable leaving our puppies with her and they almost love her more than us from just from the couple of short interactions.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of my own for 15 years and enjoy having other pets around to play with. Speaking from experience it’s nice to have someone you can trust to take care of your pets when you have other responsibilities. I currently work from home several days a week so am available most days. My dogs typically are in and out as much as they want. I have a fenced yard that’s larger so there is plenty of room for outside play time. I’m also available to come to your house to spend time with your pets.
“Wonderful experience having Alex and Christine house sit and take care of our little dog. They did a great job, sent messages every day and pictures knowing that we missed our sweet companion. Highly recommend them, you will not be sorry.”
“Mara was a wonderful pet/house sitter. She stayed at our house for a week and cared for our three large dogs. She sent pictures daily and texted when she had a question or concern. She even brought some tennis balls for them to play with outside. We would definitely recommend her and will book with her again in the future.”

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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
