“Christine was able to take a last minute booking during a family emergency. She was easy to communicate with and let us know when she arrived and when she left and sent a picture of our girls. She even left them sweet blankets!”

“Elizabeth is a blessing to our family. She is very reliable and flexible. It is very comforting to me to know our dog is getting loved and cared for when she is with her. She always sends pictures and writes me a note. I would highly recommend her!”
“Amanda was great! My dogs felt very comfortable around her right away during the meet and greet and I could tell she genuinely loves dogs. She gave me updates and sent pictures that put me at ease during my weekend away! If I need a sitter again, she will be my first choice!”
“Maddison accepted a last minute booking request for 7 days for my two cats, all while also knowing one of my cats might have needed extra attention as she had recently been sick. Thankfully, she was fine aside from throwing up a few times, which Maddison picked up without complaint. She gave me daily updates and pictures. Great communication and my cats absolutely loved her!! Will 100% rebook for my next trip!”
“We were out of town and it took longer then expected. I contacted her and she did it last minute. She was at the house in less then an hour. Very great and great service!”
“While conducting the meet and greet, Mariah was studious in her note-taking of the usual care of my cat, and seemed to understand cats. This was put into action while we were gone, as I was left detailed rover-cards describing how Freyja was, and the condition of her various resources when Mariah visited. We will definitely look at rebooking for our next trip!”
“Kenzie did such a great job I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and she just sent me a lot of pictures and kept me reassured that my cat Crybaby was doing well she went above and beyond. I will definitely hire her again if I ever need to.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for years for friends and family. I have done both pet sitting for vacations where the animal comes to my home. I have also stayed at people's homes with their multiple animals. I also do drop in care for several dogs in my neighborhood on a regular basis while I'm working remotely. I currently work full time in Minneapolis but I live in Sauk Rapids. I do dog sitting in both cities. I am a hybrid employee so I can be flexible with enough notice to plan around my schedule. I have cared for a variety of dogs who were elderly and sick with advanced dominical needs as well as a young energetic dogs. Whatever. Your pets need ,I would be willing to accommodate as long as we have discussions about it beforehand and i'm shown what to do.
About: I've taken care of, trained and loved animals since I was little. Growing up that infatuation grew into a dream to have my own kennel and business. Now I own and operate Pawsitive Journey, so in a way uou could say that dream has turned into a reality. I'm experienced with a wide variety of behaved dogs, puppies and more. Don't be afraid to reach out. When your fur babies are in my care, they will be treated and cared for as family. I'm currently self-employed through Pawsitive Journey, so I will have plenty of time to provide your pet with the care, attention, and playtime you want and expect. I have a 6+ years of handling and caring for animals in general and would be able to provide the most comfort and the most exhilarating time while you are away, depending on what your pet requires.
About: Guaranteeing love, attention, and compassion when you need to step away from home regardless for length of time or reason. I am highly dedicated to my families and their furry family members. I add a touch of difference with the care I provide to all of the animals I work with in that I treat each one individually and never work in a "cookie cutter" approach. I started working with and training animals (horses and dogs) at the age of fifteen. Throughout the years, my interest and passion with animals grew, as well as my experience. I currently have two dogs, a german shepherd and a very entertaining rescue mix. With my german shepherd, we are a K9 team with a search and rescue organization where we are called upon by law enforcement only for people who go lost or missing throught the upper Midwest. I still currently train dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, in addition to training service dogs through an individually owned local business. Due to my long-term experience, I am able to adapt to your pets' individual needs with age, both young and old. I am trained in pet first-aid and CPR, and I am comfortable with any prescribed medical care needs you may have necessary for them. I truly enjoy building a sincere bond and connection with each family I encounter so that when they step away, they can feel at ease and enjoy their time without distress or worry. Topnotch care is my priority! I have decided after many years of working in the financial industry and family care industries, that my remaining years, I want to follow what was my childhood dream. Working with animals! With my many years of experience, I always adapt my care to each of my pets needs. As I previously had mentioned I don't believe in "cookie cutter care" approach. I tailor my care to each pets individual needs and concerns.
About: I have had pets my whole life with different personalities. I currently have the most energetic dog with the biggest heart and personality and love him to pieces. I have taken care of my friends animals on numerous occasions. I work a full time job. I am willing to drop in before work and after work. I have my weekends and every other Friday completely open. I have a condo so not a lot of room so I am willing to drop by and take care of any animal. I take my pup on walks and play with him. I show him much puppy love and will treat any animal the same love.
About: I strive to provide the care and professionalism that I need and expect to be provided to my own pets. Dogs are wonderful creatures that deserve proper love and attention integrated into their family life. I have experience with successful training of my own dog's basic obedience skills (sit, stay, heel, eat, touch, shake, etc). Have taken care of many other dogs, reptiles, and fish for people in my life. I am especially interested in helping reactive dogs or dogs with behavioral issues. I work freelance so I set my own schedule for the most part. Completely flexible for clients needs. A few weeks of the year I'm booked for longer gigs but that is easily identifiable up front for potential clients. Care for clients is completely dependent on their needs and comforts. I will always defer to the client for what is needed for them and their environment. Open and honest communication is the foundation for care and comfortability.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sauk Rapids
Siona is fabulous. She really saved me today as I was sick and she popped in to let out my senior dog so she could potty, and get some water. She went above and beyond, and I am grateful for her and I believe my Nova was so excited to have such an amazing visitor.
Elizabeth is awesome! I have booked her several times for my cat Crush. She takes great pictures and does extra things to help - like bringing in packages and hanging a rug to dry that I left in my washing machine. It's nice to know that I have someone to watch my house as well as care for my cat.
Very pleased with the service Piper provided! I asked her to do two dates that were several days apart because my other pet sitter couldn't do them. This would have been challenging for me to remember - but she was totally on top of it. She even texted me early in the day on the second date to confirm that she would be there - and she was! She took great pictures of my cat and offered to help in any way she could. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned home. I am VERY HAPPY to have another pet sitter I can trust. Thanks, Piper!!
Olivia is amazing! She stepped in and helped us out when our scheduled dog sitter had to cancel with short notice due to a funeral. She met all my floofy goofs needs and went above and beyond to make sure they got affection, stimulation, and bathroom breaks during her drop in visits. She sent lots of pictures and clear and detailed reports. I look forward to rebooking with her in the future!
Would 100% use Kenna again! It was a last minute booking and she didn’t even get the chance to meet my pups before I left but I sent her a video of everything she needed and she took great care of them with no issues! She even brought my frenchie on a couple walks! Great sitter!

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 .

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.
