“Lilly takes exceptional care of our babies. They love her. She took care of our home and animals while we were away. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a walker. She is punctual and stays the whole time. She not only walks, plays with but cleans up. Thanks Lilly!!!”
“Alicia was communicative and punctual with her visit. My cat gets lonely on his own, and she sent me pictures of him looking very happy having some playtime and a belly rub (his favorite). She adhered to the instructions I left for her and she was caring and attentive. I came home to a happy cat and that makes me happy! I have already booked Alicia for a future visit and I can enjoy my vacation knowing my cat will be well taken care of.”
“Erica does so well with our dog, Duke. She checks in on him when our regular sitter is unavailable. She is very responsive and sends lots of photos of our pup while we are working. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve not gone most of my life without pets in my life and I understand how much they mean to us. I have had plenty of friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets while they are out, so I’ve been able to deal with pups of most ages! I am home from college this summer and am looking for something to fill my free time! I have a very open and flexible schedule during the weekend and weekdays as of right now, so taking care of any pets shouldn’t be a problem as I am only a part time employee! I have a very energetic dog myself so I know what is needed to keep him entertained. I can crate your dog if needed/ when specified. For my dog, I make sure he takes his medications on time and I can do the same for any other pups. I make sure all meals are given out on time and treats given wisely but generously if allowed.
About: Hi! I’m Arturo, a responsible, active, and dependable caregiver with a strong background in leadership and coaching. I’ve spent years working with people in high-pressure environments as a soccer coach, which has taught me the importance of patience, communication, consistency, and attention to detail — qualities that also matter when caring for pets. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and understand that every pet has a different personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, structure, or just calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to instructions, reliable with schedules, and committed to treating every dog like family. I’m also an active person, so I’m happy to provide walks, exercise, and engagement for high-energy dogs when needed. My goal is simple: give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding throughout the week, including weekends. As an active person, I enjoy spending time outdoors and making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and companionship they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and a clean, safe environment where dogs can play and relax comfortably. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, exercise, and behavior preferences. I understand that every dog has a different personality, and I make sure they receive patient, attentive, and reliable care while you’re away

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve had dogs for the past 12 years, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means keeping up with a puppy’s energy, giving an older dog extra care and attention, or simply making sure a dog feels comfortable and loved while their owner is away. I’m happy to handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special routines or instructions to make sure every dog is well cared for. I currently work part time so I will always be able to make time for your furry friend! Check-ins will most likely be in the mornings or early afternoons. Whatever works for each pup I have a fenced in back yard that allows your pup to run around and play. My old man, Milo will be able to keep good company as well!

“Zoey was in great hands with Lindsay! My dog has always had anxiety problems, but Lindsay did a great job making sure Zoey was well taken care of. Would let her watch Zoey again with no hesitation.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint Paul is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $14 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,791 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Paul. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Paul. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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.
