“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!”
“Marea has been a huge help to me and my picky dog! She stays in communication with me and has gotten me out of a few binds when I reach out with short notice. You and your pet will love her!”
“Vanessa is always reliable and communicative. I can take a trip knowing that my little bossy cat will get the care and attention he needs. I trust her with my house keys and my fur baby.”
“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!”
“Chelsea was wonderful with our two cats while we were away! She was always punctual and made sure they felt loved. We appreciate her time and would definitely re book with her! ❤️”
About: I’ve grown up on an animal loving farm surrounded by the daily responsibilities of taking care of dogs and cats. The past couple of years I have enjoyed helping my neighbors, family, and friends with their pets. I am always willing to lend a helping hand! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and make time each day for walks, exercise, and attentive care. I am reliable, active, and happy to follow each dog's individual needs and schedule. I care for pets by following their normal routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client's home, I provide walks, fresh food and water, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I carefully follow any instructions regarding medications, feeding schedules, or special needs. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos. My goal is to give pets reliable care while maintaining a calm and familiar environment.
“I can’t say enough about how great Amanda has been to us. We’ve had her watch our cats more times than I can count offhand and there’s never been a single issue. She is reliable and punctual. She’s the best!!”
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.
“We were so happy that Julia was available last minute for a weekend trip. Julia was flexible and gave us fantastic pupdates with adorable photos. One of our dogs can be shy about eating when we are gone and she went above and beyond by having him do his favorite tricks for pieces of kibble, which was exactly what I would have done! I could tell both our boys were very happy when we got home and definitely recommend Julia for drop in or housesitting services, she is kind, responsible, and dogs love her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sauk Rapids
Christine is the kindest woman with a heart for animals. My dogs are big and have a lot of energy and she handled them so well. She was on time, communicated well and loved on my pups while I was away. She even made them little puppy blankets to cuddle up on. 10/10 would recommend and will book again.
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sauk Rapids stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
