“We love having Elizabeth take care of our “sons”. She clearly loves dogs and our little guys recognize it. She’s dropped in 3 times. She sends lots of pictures and spends an ample amount of time with them. We’ll continue to call her whenever the guys need a visit.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have a dog of my own that I care for every day. I also regularly help take care of my grandparents’ multiple dogs, which includes walking them, feeding them, letting them out, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. Because of this, I’m comfortable managing more than one dog at a time and keeping them on their routines. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m currently a college student and work part-time, but I still have plenty of time in my schedule to care for pets. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I follow their normal routines, give them lots of attention, and keep a close eye on them.
About: I live with my 12 year old Australian Shepherd named Bailey, a 5 year old orange Tabby named Pickle, and a 3 year old tuxedo cat named Fern. I love animals of all kinds and would like to use my love of animals to earn extra income. I will provide treats, attention, and positively reinforced gentle training. I'm responsible with animals and enjoy teaching tricks, manners, verbal and non verbal cues. I've never met a pet that I couldn't love! It makes me sad that our sweet pets are home alone missing us while we are at work, so hire me! I've been called a 'dog freak' more than once. Please let me work with you and your pets. I'll be waiting!
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets since I was 8, whether that be dogs, cats, rabbits, tortoises, etc! I have adopted two dogs in my adult years, which has been incredibly fulfilling. I have taken extra measures when it comes to their training and have taught them both verbal commands and some sign language. I am a nurse in memory care and my dog loves to join me on short days and has adapted incredibly to the environment. If your dog loves to play and enjoys being with other dogs, my dog would love that too! I look forward to caring for and loving on your pups! I currently work in office two days a week and work from home the remaining three business days. I find myself with some free time M-W and occasionally on the weekends. I would love to dedicate some of my free time to your pups! The more instructions I can be given, the better! I want to be sure I am doing my absolute best for your pet and I will always take the chance to go above and beyond.
“Breanna always does a wonderful job taking care of my dog. This time I just needed her to drop-in a couple of times during the day. I appreciate that she spends some time with Nola when she is here and sends pictures and updates. She always provides excellent care, whether it is overnights or drop-ins.”
About: I have had all kinds of animals growing up, I love all animals and am great with any kind!! I can provide great care and comfort to your babies when you’re away :) I currently go to school and work part-time at caribou coffee and will be working at avera brady in the soon as well, I would stay at homes if requested. I check on the animals frequently and make sure they have both food and water. I also make sure they are well taken care of before bed.
About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I have the biggest soft spot for them, and I have two dogs of my own. I have had my own dog since I was about 19, but have had outdoor farm dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been around dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals for as long as I can remember. I am patient, detail orientated and I truly just love spending time with animals. Big or small, I love them all! I do work during the day, but I have the ability to pop out if/when I need to. I am free evenings and weekends. My schedule can be flexible if needed. I have a dog friendly home. To me this means there’s nothing but toys on the ground. Garbages are hidden and I am very aware of what is around my animals. I also have a dog park in front of my apartment!
About: i have had 2 dogs of my own along with our families go to dog sitter! i am a sitter for the upper midwest great dane rescue! i am a college student, who has weekends open to dog sit for your pups and animals! i would love to help you out in anyway way i can! I am based during the school year in mankato mn, and twin cities in summer! i will let your dogs out when they need to go, walk them, play with them and love on them so they can have the best care!
About: I love caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and species but my favorite creatures to look after are fish! I have over 7 years of experience in fish care and husbandry from a variety of settings; whether you need me to raise juvenile cichlids while you’re out of town, or just make sure your tank hasn’t exploded, I’m your guy. I work in the pet care industry so I also have experience with reptiles, small animals, and of course dogs and cats <3 I work mornings so I will always be available after 3:30pm for any drop in visits or house sitting! I typically have weekends off but, I am able to switch shifts around if your pet has specific needs. I do rent, so I am unable to board pets. As far as looking after your pets in your home I assure you there is no need to worry, I will look after your belongings better than my own! I prefer to do meet and greets and learn the ground rules before committing to a job, this also gives us an opportunity to start building some trust.
“Elizabeth was wonderful! I accidentally booked two Rovers and her and the other Rover were so understanding and worked together to determine what would work best for Cocoa and her care for the rest of the weekend.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and horses and absolutely enjoy making sure they feel safe and loved. Pets bring so much joy and comfort. I hope to do the same for the pets I am watching. I'm currently working part-time, so I am available for more time. My son is off to the Marines, so I can stay at the client's house. This love for pet sitting began when my friends asked me to take care of their animals while they were on. vacation I prefer the pets at the client's house, where they feel more comfortable. Building trust with pets is key; they feel safe and secure while parents are gone. I will communicate with you as well as you see fit when you are gone to ensure you are happy and safe.
“Tara was great! I would rather not board the cats and keep them in their home and this was a great alternative and cheaper than boarding and less stressful for the cats. She asked questions to make sure she understood the cats needs and had great communication. We already have her booked for drop ins again. Thanks again Tara ❤️ We highly recommend!”

Briana did a fantastic job of caring for our cats while we were away! She even came an extra day when our flight was cancelled. She she sent great photos and updates. I can always tell when we have a good cat sitter by the way my kitties act when we get home and they were very "chill" and relaxed. I hope to have her come again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint Peter is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $21 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 October 2026, there are 212 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Peter. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Peter. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 .
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.
